To address an issue some of you may have: The tutorials. May I point out that Tsuna is starting out as a five year old? Some one pointed out that I was explaining everything and not making Tsuna figure everything out for himself. He is five! In the original version he started out as a ten year old, that is five extra years of brain development and learning. So, in this version things need to be explained to the five year old child. I apologize if that upsets some readers. As a five year old I struggled to understand a simple videogame known as Pokémon Snap. A videogame such as Tsuna finds himself playing would have been rocket science to me as a five year old.

Shameless plug: Any Percy Jackson fans out there? Check out my PJO fanfic! It needs more love!

Fic rec o' the chapter: 'Make a Wish' by Rorschach's Blot. It is hilarious and engaging. Not to mention very well written! The entire story is based around Harry Potter getting into one misunderstanding after another and through that somehow becoming the most feared man in the world under the name 'Mr. Black'. This story is a must read!

Disclaimer: see the prologue


Tsuna decided to start out his new journey by scouring his yard for any forgeable items. He found several tree seeds and a mushroom. They all looked cartoony and fake, to be honest, but they were part of the game of his life. He figured that was why they were cartoony looking. They were game constructs. The mushroom was edible and healed 10HP. He had noticed, when he checked his home for anything, that there was a new chest in his room for storage. He placed the foraged items in that, for now.

Tsuna set off into the wide world of Namimori. He found some other tree seeds and chopped down a few trees on the way, figuring that he would need wood. A lot of wood. It seemed to be a key ingredient for a lot of things. He made it to the library soon after leaving home. The head librarian wasn't there, so a temporary librarian was on staff

"'Sup, Tsuna?" The perky teen temp greeted. Luka, the 'town temp' that jumped from job to job. Luka was American and had moved to Namimori to take care of his dying aunt for his mother. He had blond hair, blue eyes, a perpetual tan, and an athletic build. A typical California surfer boy. Almost all of the girls in the high school adored him for his 'exotic looks'.

"Hello Mr. Luka! I'm gonna be a farmer! Where would I find beginner farming and building books?" Tsuna asked the teen. Luka was positively charmed by the young child. It was easy to see he was trying not to squeal in a decidedly unmanly way at the small, determined child.

"Right this way, little dude!" Luka lead Tsuna down a few rows of books and towards the back. He pulled down a book from the top shelf and lead Tsuna around to the other side and repeated. "Here you are! Beginner's Farming and Carpentry Guide's." The teen scanned the books and Tsuna went to the section reserved for children so he could start reading. A part of him recognized the fact that his new 'Gamer's Mind' was making him more mature than a typical five year old and altering his thought processes. That realization alone was proof enough of that!

He plopped down into a bean-bag and opened the farming book.

Congrats! You have learned the Farming skill! You can now plant and harvest crops for personal use in cooking* or for profit.

*Note: Cooking is not profitable, but, cooked dishes restore HP and energy and may provide buffs. An example of a buff item would be 'Lucky Lunch.' It gives +4 Luck!

People will not question buying crops from a child, so, go nuts kid!

Right now you only have your back yard to use as a farm. It has been expanded to ten times it's old size to accommodate. An actual farm is available for purchase for 1,000,000G from your local Real Estate Agent. Once again, no one will question you if you purchase it.

You have learned how to use a hoe and till the soil!

You have learned how to use a watering can to water your crops daily!

You have learned how to use a scythe to harvest certain crops and cut tall grass to get fiber!

You have received: 25 parsnip seeds

The Items are in your Mailbox now!

The hoe has it's own proficiency level that goes up with each level of the farming skill. The higher the proficiency level the more likely you are to find treasures with it when you till soil. This is how you find Artifacts and lost books for rewards. The hoe can be upgraded to be able to till a larger area. See your local tool shop to purchase upgraded versions for large amounts of G.

The watering can is essential to any farmer. Crops need water daily and unwatered crops will not grow and will die. Right now, like with the hoe, you have the most basic of watering cans. It holds fifty water 'charges'. Meaning you can water fifty crops before you run out of water in the can. Again, it can be upgraded at your local tool shop.

The scythe is used to harvest grains and some veggies, like kale. It is also used to cut tall and invasive grass to get fiber and mixed seeds*.

*Mixed seeds are seeds found randomly in the world. When planted, one never knows what they will grow! (Only grows plants that do not grow on trellises.)

You have learned how to make: a scarecrow!

You have learned how to make: basic fertilizer!

Scarecrows are super handy! They scare off, well, crows. Crows eat your crops. Set them up as needed.

Items needed: 10 wood, 5 sap, 20 fiber.

Basic fertilizer is simple to make just combine 2 sap! It slightly increases the quality of your crops.

Crop quality is rated on a scale of 1-5. 1 is the most basic quality. 5 is the best and sells for double the original value of the crop. each crop harvested will have its own quality and crops with the same quality stack with others of the same crop kind and quality. It's the same with foraged items.

Thus concludes this explanation.

Tsuna took out his journal and wrote down the important info. He opened the carpentry book.

Congrats! You now have the ability to build small things for your farm to refine animal products and create artisan goods. New recipes are unlocked by leveling up farming skill.

You learned how to build: a Beehive!

Beehives produce honey from spring to fall. A beehive will produce a jar of honey a week. Plants grown near a beehive will also be of a slightly better quality. Busy, busy bees!

Items needed: 40 sap, 40 wood

Explanation over and out!

Tsuna noted that info down as well.

"Hey, little dude! You know, Yukina's recently started selling seasonal seeds. Ya might wanna check it out some time." Luka mentioned as he entered the room to reshelf books.

"Thanks!" Tsuna said as he got up to leave. He would keep the book in his room until their due date, in case questions were raised. He went a different way home and cut down more trees and found a yard overgrown with cartoony tall grass. He noted down the address so he could come to it later. He also found several violets and foraged them. He got to see what the tutorial/explanation person meant by qualities. He found two level 1 violets and three level twos. There was a little box in the corner of the item picture in his inventory that had the quality level, as long as it was above level one.

...~...

Tsuna was paying more attention to foraging than where he was when a black haired blur tackled him from behind.

"Tsuna! I found you! I have been looking everywhere for you." A familiar voice said. He sat up and looked at his assailant.

Suzume Hibari had been his friend for as long as he could remember. Her hair was in typical Hibari fashion for the girls with it going down to her mid back, except she wore an amethyst colored bow on one side, with a crow pin on it that he had given her for her fourth birthday. She could pass for a female version of her brother, except she was kinder and more open... at least to him, anyway. she was wearing a smaller version of the Namimori Middle girls uniform, except with capris instead of the skirt. She hated skirts. She was only five, the same as him, but she was already taller and stronger than him. He figured it was a Hibari thing.

"Sorry, Suzu. I have been busy today." He apologized as she helped him up. He laughed nervously as she glared at some older kids who had been laughing at him for being tackled by a girl. The bigger kids scurried away. They didn't want to mess with one of the Hibari clan that day.

"Really? What 'cha doin'?" she asked brightly. He fingered the pacifier around his neck, drawing her attention to it. Suzume got a weird look on her face at the sight of it. "I'm starting my own farm in my backyard. I'm going to be the best farmer ever!"

Suzume was secretly glad. She may only be five years old, but she knew about Flames and the Mafia, due to a kidnapping attempt earlier that year, at New Years to be exact. She knew what the Pacifier around her best friends neck was, her uncle was the Storm, after all. So, she was happy he was going to be a farmer. Even if she found it weird. They were only five, for crying out loud! She was still glad, though. Being a farmer was a safe thing to be. Far away from the Mafia, the Triads, and everyone else who could wish him harm, or to use him for his new status.

"That's awesome, Tsu! That sounds like so much fun! I can't wait to try your homegrown foods! This is going to be awesome!" She grinned at her best friend.

"I think so, too!" He grinned back.

...~...

Tsuna got back home to find Nana still gone. He sighed and went to his room. He deposited the items he had picked up while he was gone and plopped down onto his bed. He opened the menu and went to the relationship tab. Suzume was already at max friendship. He noted absently that she had no grayed out hearts next to her name and portrait.

Tsuna went to his inventory and noted that Parsnips took four days to grow and were a single harvest crop. He wrote that down in his journal and got a pinging noise, signaling that he now had a quest.

Plant and harvest 20 Parsnips! This should be simple for any beginner farmer!

Reward: 200G

Tsuna grinned and then paused, thinking.

"I should make some basic fertilizer and a scarecrow. I need Fiber for that, though. It looks like I need to go to that abandoned house, then."

...~...

Tsuna arrived at the old rundown building with the grossly overgrown yard. He paused. He didn't remember this place being here before he became the Sky Arcobaleno and this whole 'Gamer' thing started. The neighborhood committee would never allow this place to get overgrown. He just decided to chalk it up to the place being a game construct so he could get fiber for things. He equipped his scythe and entered the yard. He gave it an experimental swing and a swath of the grass in front of him disappeared to be replaced with normal length grass and five small bundles of cartoony leafs.

"So that's fiber! Weird!" He giggled as he collected the fiber bundles. Each bundle equaled one fiber. He systematically went through the front and back yards, gaining 200 fiber in all. As he was doing that he found 5 more violets, 10 tree seeds, and a row of 20 trees to chop, which he made note of and planted the tree seeds he found, wanting to see how long they took to grow.

With that done he decided to get home so he could plant his parsnips before dark. He was getting tired, anyway.
