Chapter 01: Beginning with the Tutorial

Harry Potter yawns softly as he wakes up only to pause at the sight of some kind of screen in front of him. Rubbing his eyes he takes a moment to observe the little square of transparent teal hovering in front of him. Reaching to poke at it causes his hand to float right through it as if it doesn't exist.

\\Welcome, I am your Gamer System. I have been given to you for the task of keeping peace within the world of curses. Within the next few days you will be able to complete the tutorial. Notice: the User Interface and Heads Up Display can only be accessed through mental thoughts.\\

Nodding carefully, and already realizing that he has now reincarnated due to his death in the previous world, he takes a few minutes to remember what he is supposed to do today. He literally has three days until the school break is over, that should be enough time to get used to the system. 

"System, I'd like to receive information on the tutorial if it is a quest." He orders it, barely remembering that his name is now Sakura  Itadori.

Sucking in a sharp breath upon seeing the last two punishments he decides to go ahead and start with the status menu. "Show me the Status Menu, please." 

\\Opening status menu of Sakura Itadori. Please do not panic over the 3rd, 4th, or 5th, detail.\\

Despite wondering what that means he decides to stay rational about the whole thing. He reads the entire thing before breathing deeply and rereading it, hoping that some of it was simply a misread on his part.

Groping his own chest he winces as he feels some bandages wrapped tightly around his torso with large lumps underneath them. He takes a few deep breaths as he tries to think of why he was changed into a female.

\\Master, Death sends his deepest apologies, he had assumed that you wished to have children of your own. In most worlds currently in their 21st Century, men are discouraged and harassed if they are attempting to raise children. Especially so if they are raising them alone.\\ 

Itadori feels like her dreams have come true at the news. She really is happy about being able to raise children of her own. The thought alone is enticing, but to have the dream of being female come true nearly spiffs up her glee to new heights. "Don't apologize, I just didn't think it was possible and found it to be a shocker. I greatly approve and appreciate the gift." 

She smiles bashfully despite imagining all the stylish clothes that she can wear now. In her life as Harry she has never been able to dress up like she wanted to. Pausing in confusion as she wonders how she died, it takes her a minute to remember a deal with Death. Smiling affectionately in gratitude she decides to put her best foot forward.

"Please turn in completed quests and open all rewards and packs currently held." This gamer system has different things for her to use.

"Let me think, do I have a system mailbox or notice log?" She pauses, wondering if she has one of those. Thankfully she sees that the area near her upper vision suddenly has an envelope. "Okay, I want a skill gacha ticket used." Suddenly, she sees something like a gambling machine appear, with three circles. They start rolling at a very fast speed that she can't keep up with. They come to a quick, jerky stop all of a sudden before she hears the ringing of a grand prize.

***The Gamer has won the Monster Catching Battle multipack~! Opening skill pack… … …***

The Gamer has received a notice: When any skill refers to 'monster' it typically means a member of the Curse race or the young of familiars. However, the term can also refer to beings or humans with monstrous strength or skills.

***The Gamer has received the following skills…***

Monster Taming Manual: Allows up to eight people to learn how to tame any kind of monster. 

Monster Catching Manual: allows up to sixteen individuals to learn several methods of catching monsters. 

Monster Pet Fighting Manual: Teaches any number of people to make use of tamed monsters, as well as the knowledge of how to teach them skills that their owners and allies do not have. 

Skill Pill Creation Manual: This skill can be used for any race. Ready willingness to steal DNA samples are required in order to make each skill pill. A Skill Pill with more potency may contain more than one skill, so be careful of feeding them to others who are mortal.

Itadori whistles in surprise at receiving manuals for such good skills. She also realizes that this means that she is leaning towards a tamer disposition. "Visit the skill menu." Instantly, a list of only her new skills are made available to her, with all of them at level one. She frowns before realizing that she is either lazy or wasting her time with some ridiculous activities.

"Visit achievements." She orders before finding only a handful.

You have gained a total of 3,000,000 Store Points today~! 

1 Store Point = 25 USD

She nearly chokes on her gasp as she realizes that she has a whole lot of value to her name.

She essentially has seventy five million USD to her name. She knows that this is near 61,290,000 British Pounds Sterling due to one USD being equal to 1.22 BPS. Chuckling dryly as she realizes that she is still wealthy she decides what's next. "Visit the shop." 

Instantly, a huge amount of panels appear to the side, with a main screen showing that she has about seventy five trillion yen in her name. She huffs, figuring that it is from the galleons after she asked to be taken elsewhere after all the friends and family had died back when she was 27 years old. She grits her teeth, knowing that she might have even more in her inventory than normal for one her age. "Inventory!" 

She stares at the inventory with surprise, finding her identification papers, her new things from the system. And thousands of raw material pieces. Like Mithril Ores, Bronze Tree Sap, and Ether Cloth. She decides to ignore those things for now. "Visit pets." She blinks upon realizing that she has the seven legendary familiar eggs in an incubator. She stares at them for a few moments before smiling softly. "You seven will be a part of my family. Hatch safely and healthily, knowing that you will be cared for and loved." She internally sighs, knowing that she will have to use some of the Summoning cards to view two of the last pages. 

"I need to get dressed and ready first." She realizes upon looking at the mirror. She shivers, dreading what may happen if she summons while in her sleep clothes. 

Ruffling through her entire bedroom for about two hours has her fuming. All of her clothes are masculine and she hates it. Snapping her eyes open, she grins as she calls upon the shop menu for some stylish, name brand clothes, other than her panties, she's going to need help with that one. After a few moments, she is wearing a long sleeved, beige turtleneck shirt along with black skinny jeans with floral stitching on both of them. Her feet are covered in plain socks and brown suede boots that are fluffy on the inside. After that, she lengthens her hair with a sip of a potion. At first it reaches her ears and she needs to drink more. Eventually her knee length pink pair is an elaborate, braided pony tail and a pair of floral ribbons to pull back her hair. 

Nearly squealing in excitement over her beauty, she decides to ignore makeup for now, she isn't going anywhere nice after all. Going to the living room she remembers something. Her grandfather is in the hospital and she is supposed to be visiting him. Going to pick up her cellphone she dials the hospital before asking to speak with her grandfather. 

"Well this is surprising. Did something happen?" Her grandfather asks her in concern a few moments later. She realizes that he is hiding something. 

"Jiji, am I half human?" She asks, remembering that she has odd strength, speed, dexterity and such all of her life. "I've always been better physically than most others, even to the point that I've been told I match Olympic players. I've never done any kind of training either. And I'm worried about how others like me may be. I'm not sure how to make sense of it…" 

"Oh, sweetheart… you can be as human as you wish. Being human is about being humane. Biologically, you are half human half curse, but it's not your fault. No matter what happens remember that I love you and your father does too." Her eyes are watery as she realizes that her father is likely hunting her mother down. Covering her mouth to hide her slow exhale, she ponders briefly.

"Do we know if all curses are bad? Or was it something like her wanting the love of a family? Do we know anything about the real her?" Abrupt sputtering can be heard on the other end of the line so she pauses, wondering if she should have asked. 

"We know almost all are evil, except for tamed ones. Though we don't know why she gave birth to you, we know she coveted you for some reason. And we know nothing about the real her. I do know she claimed to have amnesia when she possessed your carrier's corpse." Gasping in horror and shock, she trembles, knowing how her father had been tricked. She takes a moment to gather her emotions and sort through them briefly. 

"So she possessed father's wife's corpse after the woman died? That must have been traumatic for the family when they realized things." Now she is more teary eyed for a completely different reason, she takes a deep breath. 

"Don't blame yourself, you are my granddaughter regardless of your other parent's race. You didn't choose to be born with specific traits and neither did I, so I have no reason to blame you for any of it." He tells her in a stern yet concerned voice, as if thinking that she will hate herself. 

"Don't worry about me… I can guess what will happen, she'll come looking for me when you are gone. I'm going to need some sort of training. I refuse to be a sitting duck waiting to be killed. I'd much rather be an intricate trap at the very least." Her grandfather starts laughing loudly before slowly starting to wheeze in his amusement. 

After catching his breath he responds. "I'm glad you understand and have a goal. I want you to be happy, but that will require dealing with the issue before you will get your freedom. Do you remember the old safe in my bedroom? The pin is 1-3-8-5-2-7-6-0 and there are helpful things for you to train with. Don't forget to call me every now and then." Eyes glinting with determination she gives a half feral grin. Baring her teeth to the world, as if ready for a bloodthirsty battle, she huffs in vicious amusement. 

"I'm at least going to give her hell for abandoning me. While she might not have cared about you and father I was still her responsibility. She lost all rights to being called mother or family when she left!" She knows that her grandfather is likely baring his own fangs in anger and vindictiveness. Hearing him chuckle darker than dark, she knows that he still feels pain from the event. "I'm so very sorry for not visiting you today, but I have some things to do." 

"I think that a teenage girl would be saying 'you go girl' right about now. Go ahead and do what you have to do for this old man's soul." She huffs, knowing that he is aware that she understands, before she hangs up. 

Going to gather the items she has been granted access to, she immediately gives an order. "System, I need to be in the related room to learn this stuff." Before she can blink, she appears in the Dimensional Classroom with her books and lining up in a certain order. Their numbers are on the front of each. Labeled neat and tidy for easier understanding. She begins reading the first scroll, which instructs her to start feeling for her cursed energy after explaining it. 

She scowls, knowing how this is going to take a while. Before she decides to use one of her summoning cards, thinking they might know more about meditation. The first card is an Archer named Emiya Shirou, who she quietly summons into existence a few feet away. She stares at him for a moment before asking, "Do you know how to meditate?" 

"I do, Master. Would you like for me to gather proper supplies? I have access to your system to use the shop." Pausing for a moment, she ponders if he knows about this stuff. 

"That's fine. After that, can you review these and purchase anything else I will need. I'm going to be a complete beginner, so don't buy expensive stuff unless it will last a while or if it does better than the cheaper alternatives. Also, I'm not sure about what you want or need, but feel free to purchase anything for you as well. Though I'm assuming you might like a few things just to wear, have, or study, so I insist that you pick some things for you too." To her surprise he instantly begins using the system with her points and money, which she knows that he is experienced in training if those abs are real under the shirt.

Before he purchases anything else, he hands her a meditation guidebook series, which has about five books in it to start with. Taking them from him, she gives him a grateful thanks before opening the book to start reading instantly. She spends hours reviewing the book and taking a few notes in a Book of Endless Pages. The book will literally generate more pages for as long as it exists. It also can sort things as the owner wills it to. It also makes sections based on the topic and has an index.

After finishing the book, she shifts in her seat only to realize that she still doesn't understand everything. "Emiya?" To her surprise he appears as golden motes of lights that quickly gather to form his body. 

"Yes, Master?" He greets her politely, though this time he is wearing an apron and some normal looking clothes. 

"Good style." She mutters in a little jealousy as she looks over him with curiosity. 'How did he know that it would look good on him?' She wonders briefly.

His lips twitch as if he heard her as she realizes he likely did hear her. "Thank you, I take my appearance seriously." 

Flushing for a moment as she realizes that he heard her she responds. "You're welcome." She responds as she returns to her main topic. "Can you explain some of these things?" She hands him her notebook, allowing him to skim through it. 

"I apologize for not getting a more simple book series. May I write it in your book?" He asks, earning a firm nod before he quietly begins writing a few paragraphs. "If you return to the house, you will find lunch on the table." He tells her before he begins writing faster and nearly as neat as before. Taking a moment to observe him. She decides to go ahead and return for the moment. She feels the cushioning of the carpet before going into the dining room.

The house is set up like a western home, with tables and chairs in it. There is a very good looking salad of some foreign type. A glass of tea is neatly sitting near the plate along with a fork, which has the western type of silverware in the house. Smiling softly at seeing the healthy meal, she sits down and says thanks before digging in. "No other salad has ever tasted this good!" She exclaims after she swallows her first bite. Knowing that he might come back, she takes her time eating it. After a few minutes he reappears next to the table. 

Pausing and wondering if he has eaten she swallows her latest bite and turns toward him. "Emiya, have you eaten yet?" He pauses as he places her notebook next to her. 

He hesitates for a moment, looking at her as if observing her closely. "Master. I do not require food, only your mana. Though I am capable of eating, it would be a waste of money to feed me." 

Frowning at his explanations she takes a moment to calm her empathy. "Emiya, I don't know what kind of summons you usually are, but my method has brought you back to life. If I die you will live a normal human lifespan. If you don't believe me, search through the system." She barely sees his eyes widen a fraction before he is looking at his status. He pauses, as if heartbroken and hopeful at the same time. 

He turns toward her slowly, as if hesitant before he slowly comes over to hug her firmly. Flushing even more as she realizes that she actually does have a crush on him, she is surprised when he gives her a chaste kiss on her lips. She gasps and his tongue licks her lips once before she shudders. He pauses, as if realizing something before hugging her gently. Her whole face turns crimson as she ducks her head as he holds her. Allowing him to stand up to his full height, she reluctantly releases him.

His soft chuckle is filled with emotions, mostly amusement, gratitude, hope, desperation, and she may be imagining a little lust. "Master, whatever you need, I will be here for you. I apologize if I was too forward, but you have no idea what this means to me. Thank you so very much, Master." This time she is certain of his lust as his voice deepens as he calls her master. Her heart is racing as she tries to process their new relationship and what they are to each other. A soft sigh is heard from him, he gently pats her arm, "Breathe for me, Master." Taking a shaky breath after having been breathless for a few moments she slowly starts to calm down. 

The thought of dating him is enticing, but she knows that he might just be feeling lust due to his intense gratitude with her being the target of his affection for the gift. Though considering what he said, wherever he was before must have been… When he walks past her, she reaches out to stop him. "Emiya… wherever you were before… It was a nightmare to you, wasn't it?" She waits for his response only to hear a tired sigh.

Grasping her chin, he moves her gaze to look in his eyes. He is frowning at her watery gaze as his eyes fill with pain and then affectionate gratitude. "Master, don't worry about it, you freed me. I'm never going back because of your odd summoning." He gently wipes her tears with his thumb as she moves to hug him. He catches her before she can stand up and holds her as she sniffles softly. "You need to eat, I'll fix me some salad to eat. At dinner we will eat together, alright?" 

She nods slowly before allowing him to put her back in her chair properly and she begins eating. Trying her hardest not to cry, she knows that she doesn't understand.

She takes a few moments to look at her servant/slave page, surprising herself when she sees his name listed there along with his conditions. Despite being curious, she doesn't look at his profile. Instead she visits her Party menu and then her gate menu.

She doesn't know what she has done for him.

It takes her time to start sensing the three energies in her body, one is a super powerful energy core, another is her gigantic-plus magic core, and her gigantic cursed energy core. The last two are expected, but kind of easier to control. Taking a few moments to familiarize herself with them she realizes that the odd energy core is several times more potent and thick than her other two. It's all filled with warmth, joy, and life and makes her wonder if it is a counterpart to the cursed energy. 

Once she is sure she can find all three easily enough, she opens her eyes to see. Emiya is meditating with her from a few feet away. "Emiya?" Her curiosity surges as he already has some combat experience yet he is practicing with her. 

He opens his eyes to look at her attentively. "Yes, Master?" She tilts her head in confusion and interest as he glances over at the clock on the wall. "My apologies, I didn't realize it was so late. I'll have dinner cooked shortly." She stands up with him, hearing her bones creak in protest as she moves her stiff muscles and tendons slowly. "Why don't you take a shower and relax in the bath? I'll have time to cook something good for us that way." She nods, knowing that it's a good idea, before she returns to the real world to head towards the bathroom. 

Upon arriving there she flushes as a new set of feminine house clothes are laying down on the counter. Despite knowing that he has been mostly left alone today she didn't expect him to clean up the house. She strips her new clothes off before settling onto the shower stool and scrubbing her hair with a new floral shampoo. She also uses the conditioner on her hair before using body wash. After rinsing off thoroughly she moves to the bath, which has also been cleaned before she fills it with slightly warm water. She quietly soaks in the bath, relaxing easily. 

She ends up taking a very short nap before Emiya is knocking on the door. The water splashes as she jerks awake. "Are you alright?" 

Flushing scarlet she stands up, and steps out as she replies. "I'm fine, I startled awake when I heard you." 

A brief moment after she has her clothes on he knocks on the door again. "I'll mop, will you please take the clothes and towels to the laundry room?" She nods as she scoops them up and makes her way out of the room. When she returns she is surprised to find the bathroom spotless once more. It takes her a minute to find him back in the dining room, patiently waiting for her.

Her eyes sparkle at the sight of the delicious looking food with mouth watering scents. She quietly sits on the chair waiting for her before completing the meal phrase. Taking a bite of the stir fry she happily hums as she begins to chew it, knowing that he is a very good cook. It takes her a few minutes to finish, with Emiya silently eating as well. Once she is done she almost starts to do the dishes. "I'll do the cleaning, Master." He tells her as she takes the dishes to the sink. 

"You've done a whole lot for me today, I don't want to be ungrateful. Though I could understand if you are somewhat territorial over the kitchen. Are you?" She asks with genuine affection and gratitude in her eyes. He gives her a slightly wanting stare, making her fidget for a moment, before he stands up, moves over to the stove, and pulls out a fresh cheesecake for her. "Cheesecake~!" She cheers happily at the sight of the sweet treat. Her eyes glitter in glee as she watches him slice the pie and place a piece in front of her. To her surprise, and slight embarrassment, he begins feeding her himself. 

Flustered at the kindness she lets him feed her while trying to hide her blushing cheeks. As soon as she finishes he stands up, completely satisfied with her. "You might want to go work on your homework." Realizing that he is right, she scampers off to her room, closing the door behind her and taking a few calming breaths. She goes ahead and begins working on the homework.
