Game Of Shadows(Highschool dxd x male gamer reader)

Riku Tanaka never expected his life to end so abruptly-or to start over in a place between life and death, where he's handed a mysterious new role: The Gamer. Thrown into a dark, otherworldly realm after dying a tragic death, Riku discovers he has been granted a unique, game-like system that offers him a second chance at life-but at a steep cost. To survive, he must battle fearsome creatures, level up, and complete dangerous quests in a twisted world of shadows and monsters.

With each level he gains, Riku unlocks new powers, skills, and strength, allowing him to face increasingly perilous challenges. Yet, lurking in the depths of the Void Realm is a dark force that may be tied to his death in the real world-and his only chance at escaping this purgatory may be to confront it. As he learns to harness his skills and grow stronger, Riku will need to decide: Will he remain a pawn in this deadly game, or rise as a master of his own fate?

In Game of Shadows, adventure, horror, and mystery blend together, creating a thrilling tale where life itself becomes the ultimate game.
