Narrator POV

Gaming, every child loves gaming. No, scratch that, I mean everyone loves gaming. Whether you play solo style Role Playing Games, or RPG's for short; or you play the multiplayer world of the Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, or MMORPG's; or even if you play flash computer games, and the classic board games. Everyone loves gaming, everyone has a type of game they love and stick to that certain genre.

Now, picture this, what if you had the ability to control games … wait, you already do?

Let me rephrase that.

What if you had the ability to make your own life a game?

Would you be surprised? Shocked? Angry? Happy? Ecstatic?

You'd really never find out, because it can't possibly happen. Everything in the universe says that it's impossible to make your own life into a game.

But, just imagine being able to stop time to pause a single moment in your life to think about the right answer. Imagine being able to gain skills and increase your "stats" just by leveling yourself and using up your skill points. Imagine gaining powers beyond your wildest dreams, beyond anything you've ever asked for.

Inconceivable. It simple cannot happen. You'd be breaking the laws of nature, breaking the laws of physics, and every single law that mankind has set down ever since the development of their own thinking pattern.

But … What if it did happen?

What if that one in googol chance happened?

What if the story of a gamer started here?

No … not the type of gamer that sits in his mom's basement all day playing Call of Duty, League of Legends or Starcraft.

What if a person who could control his life as a game appeared and everything surrounding his life changed as he knew it?

This, my dear reader, is the story of a 7 year old boy named Issei Hyoudou. Who, by a string of fate and a glimmer of luck, managed to gain the power to control his own life as if it were a game.

Let's see his story shall we?

Hyoudou Residence (Issei's Room)

Hey guys, I'm just your average Japanese Middle School boy Issei Hyoudou … Or should I say formerly normal. I don't exactly know when it happened, but apparently I'm something called a "True Gamer." No, No, believe me it was weird for me too. Imagine my surprise when I went to bed a regular school boy, and woke up with some blue transparent box floating in front of me saying.

"You are feeling well rested.

+100% HP recovery

+100% MP recovery"

Yeah, it was pretty weird. You wouldn't believe how fast I jumped from my bed and crawled back into my desk, only to find it following me. Or would you believe how hard it was to convince my parents that there actually was a floating text box that they couldn't see, or how hard it was to convince my dad that I wasn't on any type of hallucinogenic drug.

Pretty hard to believe huh? But you really shouldn't be surprised.

Why, you ask?

Thing about it for a second. I'm a Japanese middle school boy who is seven. I barely know English, hell I barely know Katakana or Hiragana, … and yet, here I am speaking English as fluently as someone who's known it from birth.

Mind blown yet?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Well, after that whole ordeal with my parents thinking I was some sort of psychedelic drugie. I decided to investigate the floating text box above my head, which was still there by the way. And by investigate, I mean clicking random buttons.

I probably should have stopped for a second and considered the possibility that this was some sort of power by a super villain that allowed to take control of my brain, but that thought slipped my mind. And boy was I glad it did.

The minute I clicked the box it dissolved into nothingness, as if nothing was there. Then something else appeared. It looked like the status box for a game, except that this was real life, and I was incredibly weak.

No, no you don't understand. When I say weak, I mean WEAK. A freaking Weedle, could've kicked my ass in a split second.

Do you even understand how sad that is!?

You find out you have the power to control your own life like a game, but then you see your stats, and you freaking cry, because your so damn WEAK!

I WOULD GIVE UP MY DAMN XBOX AND PS2 JUST TO FREAKING GAIN SOME POWER AND …

Suddenly as I was about to finish my sentence, another floating blue text box appears in front of me.

"Your gamers mind has calmed you down, giving you the power to logically think things through."

Huh. I forgot about this ability. This ability is called "Gamer's Mind." It's somewhat of a cheat skill, allowing me to stay calm even in the worst of situations, and logically think them through.

I think it first appeared when I was trying to convince my dad, that I wasn't a drug addict. It was thanks to my cool demeanor and logical thinking that I managed to worm my way out of that one.

In any case I should probably just bring up my status window instead of whining about it all day.

"Status" I called out.

Then out of nowhere, a large blue box appeared in front of me, and showed my status.

"Name: Issei Hyoudou – Level 1 [70.98%]

Title: True Game

Description: Issei Hyoudou, your run of the mill regular middle school boy. There seems to be nothing that meets the eye when you look at him.

Well, that's my status.

But, come on 50 Health? A Kuriboh could take me out right now.

And for the life of me, I can't seem to figure out why my MP is so high, but it doesn't fully recover.

… wait, what's this skill?

Looking at my status again, I see a new skill that I'm not too familiar with, "Observe."

I click on the skills menu, and click on Observe to read it.

"Skill Name: Observe – LV. 1 [00.00%]

Description: By looking at something, and saying "Observe" you can get minor information about the thing you are looking at."

… Wait … Are you telling me, that I can see how something is made by just saying observe!?

That's so freaking cool.

Oh God, I wanna try this out right now!

I look at my wooden chair that's right next to my desk, and say "Observe."

"Name: Chair – LV.1

Description: Just a simple wooden chair.

HP: 5/5

MP: 0/0"

That's so cool!

Though, I honestly thought I could get information like a certain red-haired magus, but this is cool enough as it is.

I wanna try this some more!

Looking around my room some more, I spam the "Observe" Skill.

Looking at my desk, bed, and computer I say the words "observe" with a maniacal grin.

"Observe!"

"Name: Desk – LV. 3

Description: A wooden desk assembled by Ikea.

HP: 15/15

MP: 0/0"

"Observe!"

"Name: Bed – LV. 4

Description: A soft Sleepy's mattress atop a wooden bed post.

HP: 40/40

MP: 0/0

"Observe!"

"Name: Desktop – LV. 6

Description: A screen that shows the contents of your computer. It took a high level of understanding to achieve this piece of technology. Punching this object may give you paralysis.

HP: 25/25

MP: 10/10"

"What the hell." I softly say.

I can get status ailments?

And it's a probability from punching a desktop?

I mean I guess it does make sense, a computer is electrical after all. I should look into this some more later … but for now.

Closing out the tabs for my desk, bed and desktop, I look outside and see some more things that I can observe.

"Observe!"

"Name: Tree – LV. 40

Description: The forces of nature and Gaia are keeping this tree alive, providing us with the air we breathe. It is also where many inhabitants and creatures of wildlife call home.

HP: 400/400

MP: 250/250"

"What the Hell!?" I say loudly

The damn tree is Level 40, with 400 HP and 250 MP!? That's too overkill.

Tree to OP Pls Nerf.

Also who's this Gaia person?

Ahh whatever

"Observe!"

"Name: Pidgeon

Description: A brown spotted bird. It flies with a group to reduce stress on an individual's wings. Catching one is hard and training one is equally harder.

HP: 30/30

MP: 15/15

Hmm, so birds have MP too. Im starting to think that everything in nature has MP.

"Observe!"

"Name: Fence

Description: A piece of metal that's been cut into lengths and tied together. This is used to prevent strangers and other things into the property of the one who owns it, without their permission.

HP: 100/100

MP: 0/0

"Through the continuous use of a skill, you have leveled up your mastery.

Your observe skill is now Lv.2

You can now:

-Look at the physical stats of the thing you are looking at. [You can only do this for things that are lower than you in level, or 10 above you in levels.]

-Scan for weaknesses or injuries of the thing you are looking at. [You can only do this for things that are lower than you in level, or 10 above you in levels.]"

"You have gained a level in one of your skills: You have gained 1 skill point."

… This … This is something else. This is so cool and so awesome that I can't even begin to explain how awesome this is.

I can freakin' look at someone else's stats and check for their weaknesses or injuries, granted that they are lower than me in levels or in at least 10 levels below them, but that's no problem.

Also, this skill point …. YES! I finally have it! … wait it should save it. Or at least until I know what the remaining possible powers are.

Yeah, I think I'll save it.

"Through use of your brain and smarts your WIS has increased by 1 point."

… Speechless, I am speechless. I can gain points for each stat by doing something associated with them!

This gives me all the more reason to do homework and actually participate in Gym!

I wonder what else, I can do … wait, let me actually think.

In games, don't they have some sort of mastery skill level, that they get by practicing or touching weapons or objects?

What if I try doing something like that?

"Through use of your brain and smarts your WIS has increased by 1 point."

… I'm starting to think, that this interface thinks I'm stupid or something.

"Through use of your brain and smarts your WIS has increased by 1 point."

… …. … Well that's a damn shame.

Anyway, back to business. Let's see if I can find anything I can use as a weapon.

I head outside and begin my weekend with the new power to turn my life into a game.

Hours Later

I lay back in bed after finishing my day of discovering my new powers. Apparently, I can learn a new skill by doing everyday mundane acts. For example, I picked up a stick and swung it a few times, and I learned the skill "Blunt Weapon." Now I don't know how a stick constitutes as a blunt weapon, but I just went with it.

After I picked up that stick, I ran back home and took a knife from the kitchen, without my parents knowing of course.

Speaking of my parents, they are both Level 15 with around 200 HP and 100 MP. Their stats were pretty average for their age and occupation most of them being around 10-15. What surprised me the most though, was my dad's strength. He has 25 points in strength. Now I'm not saying that's superman strong, but compared to me with only 3 and my mom, only 12; that's pretty damn strong.

Anyway, I got a knife, and swung it a few times and learned the skill "Bladed Weapon" , but that wasn't all. There was a button below the skill that said integrate.

My curiosity was at an all-time high, so I just clicked it. And boy was it amazing to find out what that did.

So at first, I lost the two skills " Blunt and Bladed Weapons" which caused me to panic … a lot – Hey you may have "Gamer's Mind", but when 2 skills you just got suddenly vanishes you tend to panic - , but then I realized that I got a new skill called "One-Handed."

"Name: One-Handed – Lv. 4 [21.56%]

Description: You can now use anything that can be described as a one-handed weapon.

Additional Info:

-Blunt weapons and Bladed weapons increase your STR, VIT and DEX by 4%.

-Blunt weapons do 7% more damage if direct hit, and may cause stagger.

-Bladed Weapons do 7% more damage if direct hit and causes bleeding effect

Mastery: High mastery with a weapon causes more damage when used.

-Stick Lv. MAX

You do 10% more damage with a stick

-Knife Lv. 5 [96.53%]

You do 7% more damage with a knife."

Getting my new skill "One-Handed," through the use of integration allowed me get another skill, "Identifier." This skill lets me group skills into one another. So When I grouped Bladed and Blunt weapons to make One-Handed that was the skill "Identifier."

After I got my One-Handed skill I tried identifying with many different things. I got a lot of useless skills in the end, but I got 2 new very cool skills.

I got a skill called "Marksman" after combining the skills of a BB gun I found lying around my house unused - my dad did tell me I was always a fist person rather than an archer - and a crappy bow and arrow I made from a piece of string and a long piece of wood.

"Name: Marksman – Lv. 5 [ 24.53%]

Description: With careful aim and a steady mind you can shoot and hit your target. The higher your DEX the better chances you have at hitting your target.

Additional Info:

-Marksman weapons increase DEX and LUC by 4%, and INT and WIS by 2%.

Mastery: High mastery with a weapon causes more damage when used.

-BB Gun Lv. 4 [52.35%]

You have 20% better aiming with this weapon.

-Bow and Arrow Lv. 6 [25.36%]

You take 10% less time drawing the bow, while maintaining aim. Your shot is based on your arrow used."

I would've increased my Bow Skills more, but after gaining six levels the endurance of the bow couldn't keep up with my growing experience. So, unfortunately, my first crafted bow snapped under the pressure of constant use and abuse.

Something tells me I should really be careful with my stuff … but then again, If I can gain EXP and levels then making and breaking a few things aren't really an issue.

After I snapped my bow in half I learned a skill called Martial Arts by combining the two skills Karate, and Muy Thai.

Where did I get the Karate and Muy Thai skills you ask? Well, to answer that question, where do kids my age go to watch anime about martial arts? That's right! The TV.

I was tired, and I wanted to rest a bit so I opened my TV to the anime channel. I watched an anime about some black-haired, peace loving, highschooler that got dragged into the world of Martial Arts. Thinking that it was so cool, I got into a stance and took a few swings at air. Then, suddenly, the skill window for "Karate" showed up and then "Muy Thai" skill.

After that, I combined the two and got the "Martial Arts" Skill.

"Name: Martial Arts – Lv. 4 [35.25%]

Description: Control your fist, aim for the weakness and deliver the killing blow. Let your fist be like the fire and burn everything around you without mercy or remorse, or let your fist be like the water never backing down, and always looking for new ways to succeed.

Additional Info:

-Martial Arts increase all stats by 1.5%

-The Martial Arts skill overlaps with certain masteries of the One-Handed Skill. Those masteries are benefited from both Skills.

Mastery: High mastery with martial arts increases overall base strength

-Karate Lv. 6 [02.36%]

Increase base STR, VIT and DEX by 4%

-Muy Thai Lv. 6 [00.23%]

Increase Base DEX and STR by 4%"

Ahh, I should also mention that my base states increased, because of the training and workouts I did. Though I have a feeling that they won't be giving away anymore freebies like the ones they gave today. I mean, I got a lot in strength, and I even leveled up 2 levels, because of it.

As I lay in bed about to fall asleep, I look one more time at my status.

"Status"

"But still, my strength only increased by 3 points. I have to try harder tomorrow" I said to myself quietly.

"Though, getting 38 skill points on the first day is great. I'm really glad that leveling up skills also gets me skill points. Hell, I'm really damn glad that leveling up my level increases my skill points by 3."

Now, should I increase my skills now or later?

Increasing them now would probably help me out in training later on, and help me increase my power even more, but increasing them later on, would give me more of a wide view for my future skills … hmm

"Alright, I got it. Lemme use half of them then save the rest for later."

"Hmmm, now that I think about it, I don't really know what each one increases. I mean it should be pretty obvious, but just in case."

Bringing my finger up, I click the Basic tabs and tabs appear.

"STR – Strength

Base – 6

Information:

-Increases the Physical Damage of the gamer.

-To increase this skill you must push your muscles to the limit.

-Every 10 points, skills that have Physical Damage gain a 5% increase."

"VIT – Vitality

Base – 8

Information:

-Increase the Physical Damage Resistance and HP of The Gamer.

-To increase this skill, you must make your body endure pain"

-Every 20 points HP increases by 40."

"DEX – Dexterity

Base – 7

Information:

-Increase the Reflexes and Speed of The Gamer.

-To increase this skill, you must sprint through an obstacle course, or train your reflexes.

-Every 40 points, skills that benefit from this stat gain a 20% increase."

"INT – Intellect

Base – 6

Information:

-Increase the Magical and Elemental Attack and MP of The Gamer.

-To Increase this skill you must exercise your mind or practice magic.

-Every 10 points, increase MP by 30."

"WIS – Wisdom

Base – 8

Information:

-Increase the Magical and Elemental Damage Resistance and MP of The Gamer.

-To increase this skill you must exercise your critical thinking or practice magic.

-Every 20 Points, increase MP by 50."

"LUC – Luck

Base – 2

Information:

-Increase the Luck of The Gamer.

-To increase this skill you must ?

-Every ? Points, increase ? by ?"

"Hmmm, I should definitely increase my STR, VIT and DEX. It feels like I'll be using them more, just in case anything happens. It's not like I know any magic spells anyway, and who the hell is gonna have a magic spell to hit me with." I reasoned with myself.

"Though, I really wonder about LUC. It's a complete mystery. Maybe I'll put my left over points into it."

Splitting 38 in two, I put 19 stat points onto the STR, DEX, VIT, and LUC categories. Five into STR, DEX and VIT, and four into LUC.

So right now my stats are 11 for STR, 13 for VIT, 12 for DEX, and 6 for LUC.

I should probably increase my training and actually do more things to increase my Stats tomorrow.

I'm gonna need to build a stronger regime to get the most out of this power. I just really hope nothing too supernatural happens, though with this power that may be impossible.

I chuckled slightly with myself.

Satisfied with the results for the day, I close out my tabs and my Status window, and close my eyes. I lie back down onto my pillow and let the sweet embrace of sleep take over my body.

So how was the first part of my fic guys? Please Comment and fav if you have the time and if you liked it of course XD. Also, if you guys haven't noticed my writing style is a bit edgy, and a bit weird so sorry if you can't read.
