HARRY POTTER:Start System

Almost vomiting right then and there, Harry averted his gaze from the undead pendulum and fixed his gaze on the zombie's head.

"Observe."

Inferius Lv-7

HP: 500 MP:75

A nigh-invulnerable undead that had been revived from the dead by the power of the Necromantic arts. It's only weaknesses are fire and cranial injuries. It uses the tools it used in its life but is now far more deadly as it has nothing to lose, and everything to gain. Hates being called a zombie.

Kill to gain-25 Exp

"Okay," Harry muttered, "So…not a zombie."

The thing looked like something out of a B-Grade horror movie, riding so deep into the Uncanny Valley that it was practically giving Harry shivers. There were scars over its body, meaning that it had probably faced a lot of fights and lived, or rather unlived, to tell the tale, something that didn't bode well for Harry.

"Peachy. Just peachy," Harry said to himself as he prepared to roast the thing where it stood when suddenly, fate turned on its head and he suddenly heard a ping.

Ping!

Shield of Lily Perk activated!

Grants +20 to all stats against all magicals with ill intent. Will nullify completely when Harry reaches 17. Represents the pure unconditional protective nature of a mother's love. Such is the power of Lily's sacrifice of her life for Harry.

A grin spread across Harry's face. It felt incredible to see how his mother was protecting him even after being gone, even if it was slightly unnecessary in this case.

Knowing that he was way too overpowered for the undead husk in front him, Harry decided to try something he hadn't done yet. Ranged attacks.

Concentrating a large amount of his mana into a singular focal point in his hand, Harry ignited it with a thought. The slowly pulsating orb of light burst into flames in an instant, swirling around on Harry's hand while still keeping its shape intact. With a grin, Harry tossed the fireball right at the Inferius's face, causing it to start burning like it was doused in gasoline. Within seconds all that was left of it was ashes.

Slightly unsettled by how easy it felt, Harry looked at the spot where the Inferius had been burnt to a crisp and suddenly noticed that there was something left behind.

"Is that…..did I just get some loot from that?" Harry said out loud, gingerly walking over to the ashes and picking up the 1£ coin and a rather rusty looking knife, which he put in his inventory. He then paused to inspect fiver. It certainly looked real, but why in the world would a zombie drop money?

Shrugging to himself, Harry the coin into his inventory and much to his pleasant surprise, his amount of money increased to 51£.

A glint of greed appeared in Harry's wide eyes as he turned to look at the hole in the wall where the first Inferius had come from. A horde-full of grey-skinned husks just like the one he'd slain earlier were pooling in through the gap.

He should've been afraid, but instead, the only thought in his head was how much money he could pull together if he managed to defeat this many Inferi.

He was standing in a money-printing machine, and all he needed to do to get rich was flame up and burn the horde down.

Ping!

YES/NO?

Confident in his abilities, Harry pressed yes.

As soon as the window in front of him disappeared, he grinned, and his hands burst into flames. Gamer's Mind activated and so did Shield of Lily, honing Harry's powers and mind down to razor sharp focus.

Digging his heel in, Harry jumped forwards, dashing between the ranks of the incoming horde and setting fire to as many Inferi as he could as fast as he could. He didn't have to do more than punch or push once to set them on fire since the dead, dried skin and muscles of the undead walkers were more than incredibly flammable. Emboldened by his success, he started playing around with his enemies, grabbing some of them from behind and knocking them off-balance or just pushing them into each other to create spectacular Domino chains of fire.

With his superior speed and fire, Harry managed to run through little more than a dozen Inferi in no time at all. However, things were about to get a whole lot difficult for him.

Finishing off his 14th kill of the battle, Harry paused to strain his ears. He'd been hearing a strange scuttling sound for a while now and had dismissed it for Inferi noises, but it was growing louder and louder by the second.

BOOM!

The wall on the other side of the cavern blasted outwards revealing, much to Harry's terror, a humongous swarm of giant 3 foot tall spiders.

Harry froze.

Up and until that point, Gamer's Mind had kept him in a state of perfect calm, but something about the spiders…Harry's vision blurred for a moment. The ground seemed to slip underneath him…the light in his vision started fading…his steps faltered.

'Not now!' Harry thought through his mental mess in a fleeting moment of clarity, and the clouds cleared a little. Instinctively, he let loose a blast of fire in-front of him. A shrill screech filled the cavern. When Harry's eyes refocused, one of the spiders lay a couple of feet in front of him, three of its legs burnt off into stubs, and the rest had stopped a safe distance away from him, clearly scared by the effectiveness of their target's attacks.

Harry was just as scared.

He didn't know what had caused him to falter like that. He'd never been scared of spiders as far as he remembered, but something had just made him break down in the middle of a life and death situation. Feeling a bit shaken, Harry tried using Gamer's Mind. A hazy sense of calm fell over him, but the effect was not as powerful as he would have hoped for.
