Now anyone who knows me will know that since I first began reading them I've wanted to make my own take on the gamer style stories but I was always nervous about how to go about it. I was always caught between sticking to the original formula or to try and make my own kind of style on it.

The void

If you had told me that one day I would wake up and my life would be a video game I would've probably laughed in your face.

But as it appears I seem to be wrong.

'How?', you might ask.

Well simple.

[Hello, and welcome (Insert name here). You have been given the abilities of (The gamer).]

'Why the fuck does it say (insert name here.)?'

I stared at the box for a good couple of minutes trying to remember how I got here.

5 Minutes ago

I was sprinting to school as in a mad panic, the holidays were over and I had done the unthinkable.

I had actually done all the homework I was set.

I had completed something my dad never accomplished.

Blinded by my pride I forgot one important thing: Set the alarm.

So now I had 5 minutes to get to school, now that may sound like plenty of time but I was carrying THREE FUCKING BAGS! They weren't light either.

So I was weighed down, half awake and panicking. The perfect recipe for disaster and so disaster did strike.

I didn't see the car until I realised that I was lying in the gutter coughing up blood.

The world began turning black, I could feel my ribs grind together from my shallow breaths, the blood trickling out of my cracked skull.

I could faintly hear someone telling me to stay awake and...

And then the world faded away.

Back to the present

'Holy shit I am dead aren't I?'

I would've panicked except for one thing. I couldn't feel anything.

Not emotions I mean physically, I had no body.

I began scanning where I was but there was nothing but the box. The box had a new section below it.

[Press continue to move along]

Real funny. How do you press continue with no hands?

Then a new third line appeared underneath it.

[Boxes can be controlled via thought, physical interaction or verbal communication. The current setting is (Thought).]

'Well that sure is convenient. Alright lets continue on.'

[(The Gamer) Ability grants you, the actual gamer, to access powers that allow you to act like a game protaganist. The ability gives you access to current 4 abilities.]

'What? Why do I have to pick a class?' I thought staring at the list in front of me. 'Wait if it responds to thought maybe I can question it?'

As soon as the thought when through my head a new box appeared over the class screen

[Classes are used to choose how the Gamer will evolve their way of acting. Classes are permanent but can evolve into combination or master versions.]

Well which one do I pick?

I mean if I wanted to play like a mage I would pick a wizard but I never was one to play as a magic using character unless it was the only decent DPS.

Knight looks useful but I don't exactly like the idea of rushing in and stabbing stuff.

Berserker... I don't think being insane will help me in a fight. I need my wits about me.

Archer would work quite well, I always played ranged characters when I had a chance but I don't think I have the patience to be accurate.

Ruler. Acting as a leader? No, that was more my brothers thing. I was never good with words so I guess I'm stuck with one option.

Jack-Of-All-Trades. What was the saying? Wasn't it something like: "Jack of all trades, master of none. Sometimes better than a master of one."

Well I guess I know which one I'm gonna pick.

[Class conformation: You have picked Jack Of All Trades. Is this the class you would like to pick?]

Yes/No

'Yes'

[You have now chosen your class. Please create your avatar.]

I could feel my non-existent eyebrows furrow at the sight of that before a selection of sliders appeared in front of me with a floating version of my body only in its boxers.

[Due to damages done to your previous physical avatar we've created a recreation of it and decided we would allow you to edit it to your own choices.]

'Who is we?' I thought in the back of my mind before dismissing the box and flick through the sliders. There were some about height, weight, muscle mass, hair style, eye colour and sex appeal?

Experimentally I began increasing it whilst trying to see how it'd effect my body. A few increases later I began to notice what it was doing. There was a rather sizable bulge in the boxers. I stopped moving the slider and debated on whether or not to keep it before deciding 'Fuck it'.

I eventually began changing little features. You know the obvious stuff like getting rid of a few facial scars, cleaning up my appearance and fixing my vision.

By the time I was finished my body had little changed apart from a few missing scars, a tattoo and the sex appeal slider.

I was always compared to my brother and I would have to agree with them. I had the same mismatched eyes, hair, hell even the skin colour. The only differences between us were our bodies. See my brother was short and kinda buff with a weirdly mature face whilst I... Well I looked like a girl. I lost count of how many people made the mistake.

[Are you done?]

'Yes'

[Now pick where your first skills will come from.]

What followed were a list of games, books and anime I had heard of before. I eventually decided on the one I would pick.

[You have chosen (Nasuverse), are you sure of your choice?]

'Yes'

[You have earned skill 'Reinforcement']

[You Have earned skill 'Magic resistance']

[You have earned skill 'Gradation Air']

[You have earned skill 'Spirit Form']

A new box appeared. This time in a different font.

[Final choice. Pick a number.]

'Pick a number?'

A new box opened.

[No help on this one. It's up to you.]

'I pick...'

Well lads, pick a fucking number
