The Beginning

"It's boring." Ben muttered staring at the computer screen in front of him, It played the new adventure action RPG belonging to sumo slammer franchise.

That was supposed to be one of the long awaited release of this year, Every fan of the franchise had been eagerly waiting for this. And Ben was not an exception from that, Or at least that's what he thought before all common sense were thrown out of the window a few weeks back. Ben Tennyson was an ordinary seventeen year old highschool student. His family originally hailed from America but when he was in middle school, his parents had to move to Japan due to their new jobs. He was reasonably in a good shape. He used to attend a local self defense academy since last few years and very recently he stopped going there due to the overload of education. He had sparkling green eyes, brown hair and mostly sported caucasian features. Fifteen days ago, on a fateful night, He came to learn about the existence of parallel dimensions. Not only that, He was a superhero in every dimension apart from this one. He also got to learn about the awe inspiring scientific wonder called omnitrix which allowed it's bearer to transform into any alien species he/she desired to. He even got to wield it for one time and actually save the day.

Like an actual superhero. That was awesome.

When everything else seemed to be over, And his good heroic versions were vaporized , He jumped in like a badass, Put the awesome alien tech on his wrist, Travelled through time and alternative universes , wrestled against his evil versions of ...himself and defeated a highly dangerous intergalactic war lord. That was surely a life changing experience and after that Ben couldn't claim to be the same person ever again.

However despite all that, Ben still felt bored. Nothing could match the excitement he felt while wearing that watch and transforming into aliens. Ben didn't have a lot of people who he could call close friends. It wasn't like he was anti social or something like that. Well, most likely it seemed that everyone around him were busy with their lives and had no time to form actual attachments. Besides he always felt like an outsider, even though people were mostly nice to him on surface level, he has never been included in any sort of group. It was sort of frustrating though and seemed like ever since he had arrived to Japan, He has been bashing his head against sort of glass ceiling, unable break through despite his best efforts. Being foreign did little to help him in the friends category. As a transfer student he carried the moniker of trouble maker with him, People always expected him to prove that he was nice and respectful towards their environment, without giving him the same sort of respect in return. Some mean spirited classmates often whispered thing behind his back, criticizing him for his choices, the way he addressed people, the way he dressed...but Ben didn't care. He knew better to let himself be bothered by them.

"Damn, They never manage to match up to the hype." Stretching out his limbs, Ben let out yawn. He hoped that this new game would be more exciting and would give him at least a week's worth of entertainment. However that turned out to be just a cheap rip off of the original one with a few added dungeons and worthless OCs. Totally not worth his money. Signing off from the computer screen, Ben turned it off. His eyes drifted towards the room's window, Sun was still shining through his curtains. Scratching the back of his head lazily, He started making his way towards downstairs from his room. He was quickly graced by the sight of Sandra Tennyson, Who had been working diligently in the kitchen.

"Mom." Ben called out from the stairs, turning his head towards the kitchen " I am going out to take a stroll!"

The blonde woman gave him a slight stare of observation, " Okay, but make sure to come home before night." She conclude with warm smile and went back to chopping the vegetables. "And your mom would be really sad if anything bad happened to you, Do you understand young man?" Sandra gave a sickeningly sweet smile, All while pointing out her knife towards Ben.

"Umm...Don't worry Mom...I am not going anywhere far from here." Ben remarked with a sheepish grin.

"Good. I will be making a nice fish for you and Carl today." Sandra smiled at him, All while humming a song which Ben didn't bother to recognize. Ben stared at his mother for a moment, finding it a bit weird that she had been chopping vegetables with the same knife she had been recently pointing in his direction. Before Ben could leave though. Something extremely weird happened. A blue glowing box akin to that of what he witnessed in RPGs, started hovering above her mother's head.

Housewife of Tennyson Household

Lvl:12

Name: Sandra Tennyson

Ben shook his head multiple times. Damn! He was definitely seeing things today. Perhaps it was a very bad idea to watch the entire sumo slammer marathon last night. He waved his hands in front of the blue box but they didn't cause any disturbance.

"That's blasphemy!" Ben cursed under his breath. This must be some sort of delusion. There was no other explanation to come up with. After placing a tight slap on his own cheek, Ben immediately dashed towards the door. Perhaps all he needed was some fresh air. Before he could exit through the main door, He was stopped by none other than his own mother. Ben dumbfounded as he saw a big golden question mark hovering over her head.

"Can you buy the groceries for tomorrow?" Sandra asked with a kind smile, " And you can keep the change."

Ben raised an eyebrow, curious about how this would go. After all his past experiences kinda made him a lot more braver in regards of weird things. "Let's see how this goes." A blue window popped up in front of him

A Quest had been created

There was a "?" in the right corner and arrow in the left corner. Without wasting any further moment, Ben pressed the arrow.

Quest Alert

Mother Problem

Your Mother trusted you to carry out the simple task of buying food for tomorrow and to come back before sun will set

Completion Reward: 400 Exp, Increased Closeness from your mother

Completion Failure: Decrease reputation with your parents. Nagging Mom, Decrease of Mom's faith in you

Ben shrugged, He had no idea what the hell was going on. But he decided to roll with it. He had enough faith in himself that he wasn't going crazy. However there was no other way to prove what he was experiencing right now.

"Alright Mom, I would do it for you." Ben replied with a bright grin. Quickly touching the yes button in the blue window.

Sandra smiled and fondly ruffled Ben's brown unruly hair. The sensation of her hands moving between his hair was enough to prove that he wasn't dreaming.

"Here." She handed him over the money and the paper which had a list of groceries he needed to buy. " Don't lose the money and be careful on your way to the store."

"I will Mom, Don't worry about me." Ben replied and quickly exited through the door.

...cccccccc...ccccccccc...

Rest of the walk was pretty quite affair and Ben moved a lot more slower than he generally did. He was quite astonished to see level markers above everyone's head. Most children were at level 1 and adults ranged from 10 to 15. Those who seemed closer to seventeen or eighteen were either policeman or firefighters , Though the ones he encountered were in an extremely good shape so he couldn't take that information entirely into consideration . However during this time he encountered a few individuals with "?" over their heads. What did that mean? He wasn't allowed see their levels? Or it was so much high from his own that he couldn't get a reading out of them.

A special skill had been created through a special act.

Ben blinked in surprise once again. Those windows and numbers...they weren't leaving him alone...no matter how much he tried. Sighing in defeat he tapped onto the blue box which popped up in front of him. The moment he did that...another one appeared in it's place

Through continuous observation, a skill to find the target's information, 'Observe' Lv.1 had been created

Ben gawked at the new pop up in orange. What the hell was that? He should be freaking out by now and rush to a mental hospital but he was standing here, acting like this was another Wednesday. Ben was completely surprised at his newfound calm demeanor. He looked around himself, continuing to notice the various pop up boxes which kept appearing one after another. He blinked when he realized that he completely forgot to take notice of the countdown timer which appeared in the corner of his sight. It seemingly floated in mid air, just like the blue pop up boxes and began to countdown from two hours.

Much to his dismay another window popped up.

[Observe]'s level has risen by one.

"Those things can get a level up too. Damn, this just keeps getting weirder and weirder." Ben facepalmed. Another blue window popped up infront of him.

Observe (Active) LV 2 EXP: 0.00% MP: 5

Description: Knowledge is power. With the right information, you can turn any adverse situation in your favor. A skill to observe object and being that allow the user to quickly gather information. The higher the level, the greater the data obtained. The greater the amount of knowledge and insight the user has, the more information displayed.

Ben dumbfounded once again. He had no idea what was going on but it appeared that he gained some sort of skill. That can't be bad. So he can create new skills out of nowhere and level them up. Similar to the video games he used to play. The young Tennyson wouldn't deny anything that had been offered to him. However a message suddenly appeared, quickly killing his excitement.

By thinking in a logical and concise manner, your WIS went up by one.

A tick mark grew over Ben's head after reading this,. whoever was doing that to him was starting to piss him off but he didn't get much time to ponder about that.

Sub Quest Alert

Don't be late: Arrive to Grocery store on time.

You have twenty minutes to arrive to class before you're late.

Completion Award: 100 Exp. Thirty percent added bonus in the reward of main quest and a surprise event before the end of main quest.

Completion Failure: 29 Exp. No extra perks added in the main quest reward.

Yes-No

"What the...Damn , Give me a moment!" Ben shouted before quickly tapping on to yes. He began sprinting towards the store with as much speed as he could possibly muster. He accidentally ended up knocking into some bystanders but he didn't pay much attention to it. His eyes were solely focused onto the small timer which began to countdown in his peripheral vision.

Ben barely managed to slid into the store with twenty seconds left

You have barely managed to reach in time. Mission accomplished.

Completion Awarded: 100 Exp and you may have the surprise encounter before the ending of main quest.

Ben didn't have much time to pay attention to the hovering messages. He was busy huffing and puffing due to sprinting on most of his way while arriving here. Granted he recovered very quickly but that was damn exhausting. Once he gathered his bearings, Ben quickly accepted all the messages. He was surprised at reading about the encounter but decided not to pay much attention to it. Besides it wasn't like he would get to know anything beforehand. He would get to know what the event is once it actually occurs.

He had dealt with evil versions of himself, A vicious Cthulhu look a like who wanted to take over the world and rescuing his good versions across the space and time. There wasn't much out there which could faze him.

Except the fact that he could live the real life like a video game. That was a huge shocker no matter how you look at it.

Needless to say, from now on, boredom was the last thing he will be worrying about in his life.

...ccccccccc...ccccccccc...

Finishing the grocery pretty quickly, Ben exited the market area. Nothing eventful happened on his way back. Except probably a few weird stares when Ben was playing around the imaginary screens , Most likely trying to swipe the life bar out of his sight. Either this whole video game abilities was a gift from God or he couldn't handle the shock of the last adventure he had and completely went delusional. The latter wasn't too far from what he was feeling right now. Once he started thinking about the entire ordeal, He wondered. If this was actually something like a video games. What about his own status? It can't be just quests and experience.

Then it occurred to him that if this was a game he should be able to access some sort of command prompt, similar to how he could access his life bar and quests. But the question was that how he could access that.

By thinking in a logical and concise manner, You managed to increase your WIS by 1

Ben frowned at hearing that but instead of paying attention to it, He focused on more pressing matters. "Profile." Ben tried first, "Menu, Load, Title, Save, Pause... Status...

Once the last word left Ben's mouth a huge orange pop up window opened infront of him.

Someday he would change the world, For better or worse.

Ben narrowed down his eyes in front of the screen. His statistics didn't appear to be super awesome, however at the same time, They weren't completely awful too. For starters, It wasn't that bad. And he at least seemed somewhat above average from what he could gather. To get a little bit more information about it, Ben pressed the ? symbol which was placed in the corner of his Status window. Instantly several small boxes appeared in black with yellow-ish writing pointing out to each area of the Status window. A brief explanation about what they actually meant. Well, It wouldn't hurt to at least know what they meant in here. In general Ben knew what those meant. Every single person who ever played an RPG had heard about them but it wouldn't hurt to spare another glance at them.

Besides he had frigging thirty six points to spare, That was awesome!

Ben heard from his Grandfather Maxwell Tennyson that, Human beings are gifted in some ways by the creator. In rare occasions, They are able to display superpowers when unexpected trouble arise. And sometimes they could even defy the very course of nature itself.

The key points being " In rare occasions" and "sometimes"

But, That didn't do jackshit about explaining Ben's current situation.

This has a massive impact on your overall ability to control your MP more effectively. How much EXP you gain after accomplishing quests also depend a little bit on this attribute.

Titles: There are many titles available in this game and their gains vary from one another. Most of the times, They are beneficial.

Ben couldn't help but sigh. Processing through all that information was surely going to give him a huge head ache. Ben closed the menu, placed the grocery bag along with the charge money and swiftly started making his way towards his home. After all, He needed to get there before timer hit zero. However unbeknownst to him, An arduous task was about to fall in his hands and once it happened...His life would never be the same afterwards.

A Ben 10 Gamer fic, We have a lot of unusual scenarios in this crossover section. Azmuth being a Dragon God, Ben turning into a Woman, Ben being childhood friends with Rias and the list goes on and on. So, The idea about him being The Gamer isn't that far fetched . Especially in a universe like DxD and I am pretty sure most of us know about the Gamer Manhawa and that series' mechanics. If you don't, Then please check it out on Internet. It's a very solid series. If Naruto, Harry Potter and Issei Hyoudou can be written with Gamer abilities, Then why not Ben 10?

What do you say friends? I hope you like it :)
