Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
This is my first attempt at writing. Review and share your thoughts.
Alex opened his eyes to the giant white glowing letters of GAME OVER flashing in front of him.
After a few minutes of sitting there in stunned silence, the words changed.
The Wizarding World RPG
New Game
Alex had read enough to have a general idea of what was going on, but he was having trouble remembering certain things. He remembered that he died, but he didn't remember how. He couldn't remember his family either. The only personal details he could remember was his name. With nothing better to do, he decided to continue along with whatever this was
"New game," he said aloud.
Would you like a tutorial?
"Yes"
To view your stats sheet, say or think "Status."
"Status." As he said this, a blue screen appeared in front of him showing his stats, along with explanations for what they did.
Hp- health points, this measures your health, upon reaching 0, you will die. You gain 10 for every point of endurance.
Mp- Mana points, this measures your magical energy and how many spells you can cast. You gain 10 for every point of intelligence.
Str- strength, this measures your physical power
End- endurance, this measures endurance, stamina.
Dex- dexterity, this measures speed, coordination, reflexes, and balance.
Int- intelligence, this measures knowledge, wisdom, and perception.
Cha- charisma, this measures your charm and social awareness
You will receive 5 stat points to distribute freely every time you level up.
Alex took a moment to absorb this until a new screen popped up.

…
The list went on for quite a while but in the end, he decided to pick metamorphmagus and eidetic memory. After that, the tutorial went over his inventory and quests. It worked the same way as in most stories online so he skipped over it.
Before starting your adventure you must now create your character and choose your name.

I awoke to the sound of a train whistle. I was disoriented for a second as I received a new set of memories. I was raised in an orphanage and grew up with no friends due to being a reclusive and quiet kid. Saved me the trouble of dealing with a new family. I began to scan my surroundings. I was in an empty train compartment with a trunk on the top shelf and a wand in my pocket.

Soon I heard the train whistle blow again, and with a jolt, the train started moving. With nothing to do for the next few hours, I decided to read to pass the time. About 10 minutes in, there was another ping
Diligent studying causes your INT to raise by 1.
It surprised me a bit. To test this further I decided to do some push ups. Upon reaching 10, my arms felt stiff and weak. This was accompanied by another ping.

Confirming that I could raise my stats by doing activities related to them, I continued to read my grade 1 spell the course of the train ride, I received the stat notification three times, and upon finishing the book I acquired a new skill.

After testing a simple Lumos spell, I packed up my book and put on my robes as the train slowed to a stop. I heard people shuffling around up and down the train. I could see a silhouette of Hogwarts in the distance.
I'm not sure if I should have him in the same year as Harry or move him back a few years so he can participate in the TriWizard tournament later down the lane. Leave your thoughts in a review.
