Gamer of Magic
Well I didn't plan to write this but I just got hooked on the gamer comics and thought about putting it in a different setting. Then the final season of fairy tail came out so I was like what the hell, here goes nothing.
"Damn it, how did I get lost again" a young child yelled stomping his foot. "I have a literal floating map yet I have no idea on where to go".
To fully utilise the gamer map, one must first record the area so a map can be created and stored in the database
"I know that already stupid game, that's why I know I'm not going in circles" he yelled mumbled.

"Uhh… *grumble* so hungry" Natsu held his stomach as he continued walk through the forest. "If only I could get out of this forest or find… some… food" he blanked at the sight in front of him.
"Oink" a pig grunted like it was constipated old man.
"What is that?" Natsu mumbled as a text box appeared in front of him.
Ping
Through looking at something intensely, ability Observe has been learned
Observe Lvl 1

Natsu shook his head "well that's helpful, Observe".
Wild Pig
Level 4
"So it's double my level, right?" Natsu chuckled with a watery mouth. "That means it tastes double as well right?" he ran at the pig at full speed.
Ping
Due to actions the ability Charge has-
Natsu swiped away the notifications as he went in for the tackle. "O-oink" the pig squealed as it was forced off it's feet. "Ha take that, and a little bit of this, how about some of this… oh did I win with the tackle, oops".
Loot/Drops
+20 exp, +5 Jewels, 4 pig legs, low quality pig meat, 2 small wild pig tusks
"Wait jewels!" Natsu searched his inventory for the jewels. He found them but they were only the currency not actual stones "well that's crap, 5 jewels is so small I can't get anything with that amount". Natsu shook his head "anyway first I'm going to eat this pig then I'm getting out of this damn place". He prepped himself up with a determined look.
(Time skip)
To the outside world it had only been 2 weeks since that first pig but to Natsu, it felt like an eternity with nothing but rocks, trees and wild creatures. Although, despite all this there was one bit of good news…
Ping
Level 10 has been reached
-Magic options now available
-Trait: Unmagical, has been removed
"Finally, maybe now I can get some flying magic or something to get out of here" Natsu poked at the air as he opened the menu manually. "Ah the magic/skills tab" he tapped the tab as a floating message appeared.
Welcome to the magic/skills tab. Here you may begin to become a powerful mage and learn many magics. To unlock magic skill trees, please complete the magic's requirement and tap the wanted magic but be aware some magic requires skill points that are rewarded every ten levels, certain quests, or to be purchased/traded in the gamer shop. All magic is categized by level, such as: common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary. Then the magic will be categorized by type.
As a welcome to the magic/skills tab, one magic will be given to the player as a helping start with no requirements. Would you like to accept: Yes – No
Seeing the options, Natsu just tapped yes as a visual slot machine appeared with common, uncommon, rare, epic and legendary, all spinning. "Come on, give me something good" Natsu crossed his fingers as the slot machine slowed down and stopped on epic. "Bloody hell, it's an inch from legendary just move slightly" but to no avail the slot machine didn't move.
Randomizing magic selection progress… please wait…

"Yes" Natsu pumped his fist into the air. "Create Golem" the dirt and rocks started rising up turning into a humanoid shape. "Since it's permanent I can create one now and summon another one and then have full magic later, ahahaha" Natsu ranted to himself as the golem fully formed into a basic humanoid shape. "Observe"

"Interesting but… HOW DO I CONTROL IT, do I just ask it to punch a tree or something" Natsu huffed as the golem suddenly punched a tree, leaving the tree a quarter splintered. "Sweet" he jumped on top of his golems shoulders. "Onward my golem, march" he pointed dramatically in the direction he was originally going in.
(Time Skip)
It had been another 3 days but finally Natsu had made it, he was in a town. "I don't even care what town I'm in right now, I can finally talk to someone… I'M FREE OF THAT DAMN FOREST".
"-I'M FREE OF THAT STUPID FOREST"
Natsu blinked as he stopped celebrating his freedom of being lost in the forest and slowly clicked his head round to the side to see someone else do the same. "Um… hi"
"…Hi" the person in question stood in the same idiotic celebratory pose he did and only stood 5 meters away. The person who was presumable a girl around his age by looks anyway. She stood at 4'2 with scruffy shoulder length pink hair and emerald green eyes. The girl wore ragged shorts in a similar condition to mine and wrapped around her chest was a scaled white scarf in perfect condition.
The two blankly stared at each other before the girl run up to Natsu and grabbed him by the shoulders. "Where's Igneel, do you know where he is hiding?" the girl shook Natsu around.
"I don't know a Igneel, stop shaking me Nyoko!" his eyes widened as he accidently said her name as he read it of her hovering name. 'Please don't ask how I knew your name, it will make everything weird and, and… stuff' I begged silently.
Nyoko stepped back shaking slightly as hair shadowed her eyes "y-you… know…"
"No, no, no I'm not a creep or anything it's just that…" Natsu began as Nyoko's fists became on fire.
"You know where Igneel is don't you" Nyoko yelled breathing out a small amount of smoke.

"Well I guess I have no choice" Natsu crossed his arms in defence as Nyoko punched me with a flaming fist. "Golem, attack" a fist bigger than his head punched Nyoko in the gut sending her tumbling back on the floor. 'I knew making one in advance was for good measure but still' he narrowed his eyes as Nyoko grinned as she stood up like nothing happened. 'She's level 14, that's 4 levels above me and is strong enough to hit me for 23 Hp'
"I don't know what that is but nothing can stand up to a fire dragon" Nyoko boasted taking a deep breath. "Fire Dragon Roar" a small torrent of fire blasted the golem from Nyoko's mouth leaving a trail of smoke. "Told ya so" Nyoko put her hands on her hips and laughed triumphantly.
"Yeah, I agree that your fire is amazingly hot" Natsu praised as he clung on to the golem's back to use it as a body shield. "But my golem is still here" he jumped off the golem. 'Holy crap, the golem lost 167 hp from that, if I got hit directly I'm going to lose' Natsu's eyes trailed up to her name. '450 hp, that's not fair, I can't win in a fight like this yet, I've not grinded my actual skills enough yet since a magic skill that is level one will hardly do anything'.
"Fire Dragon Iron Fist" Nyoko charged towards me with her fist cocked back. As on cue, my golem also ran forward mirroring Nyoko's action as they collided, fist against fist. The dragon slayer stumbled a couple steps back as she reeled back her bruised hand, the golem on the other hand crumbled into pebbles and dirt.
'I can't win a fight but it's a mandatory quest' Natsu hummed in thought. "Hey Nyoko, that was amazing nobody has defeated my golem as easily, you really are strong and amazing you know" he smiled.
"Only now you realise the power of these flames" she punched her palm with a grin.
"And it is nice to fight a strong opponent but I'm not looking for a fight right now" Natsu clicked his tongue. "Tell you what, how about we talk about what this is all about over some food" he winked.

Ping
Charm failed: for an individual to have a chance of being charmed, they must at least know the difference between genders
Nyoko ran at Natsu at full speed and leaped at him. Natsu blinked unable to get out of the way as Nyoko tackled him to the ground. "Sure I would love to get some food" Nyoko hovered over him with stars in her eyes.

Natsu grinned at the quest completion "let's see if we can find a restaurant around here, I can't be bothered cooking myself".
"Uhh… what's a westront? Is it the food we're eating?" Nyoko pulled him up off the ground.
"It's called restaurant" he dusted himself off. "You'll see eventually but first come with me" Natsu grabbed her hand and pulled her along. 'Gamer map, show me the way' he thought to himself.
(1 hour later)
"Oh dear god" Natsu shivered as sauce hit his left cheek. 'With all the money I got from grinding beforehand, first I bought us clothes so we weren't kicked out of the restaurant, second I'm paying for the mountain of food before me and now I'm getting smacked in the face by the same food' he sighed. 'Well it's not all bad, my reputation with Nyoko is at 1250 out of 5000 which means she at least views me as a friend'.
"…So yeah, Igneel was the only one that raised me and is like my only family, you know" Nyoko chewed out through her food.
'Uhh if we eat together again I'm going to have to teach her manners, even if it has negative consequences' a bone bounced off his forehead. 'Oh well, Magic' seeing Nyoko too deep in her pile of food to make any interactions, Natsu opened his gamer screen.

New Magic
Knowing his sole magic, Natsu skipped the first option and clicked the second option but a message appeared. To make use of this option, please have one magic at the max level before advancing the magic to the next form. Moving down one another message appeared, To make use of this option, please have to max level magics that you wish to combine into one. 'Well that's interesting… but disappointing, anyway if I can learn some new magic to protect my weaknesses I could probably win some fights' Natsu glimpsed at Nyoko to make sure she was still eating. He clicked the new magic tab as a larger notification appear.
Ping
New magic can be learnt but note only two magic can be learned at one time. To learn an extra magic either, max level a magic or put a magic on pause but be aware that magic on pause can't level up. Alternatively, a third magic can be learnt manually without the gamer functions however, experience for learning manually is cut by 50%. Also be aware some magic has skill/quest requirements to acquire and/or need to be purchased with perk points
'Makes sense or I would be holding millions of different magic' Natsu pondered as he pushed the message to the side

Uncommon Magic (Locked until level 15)

Path Magic (Depending on your choices in life whether you were a dark, light or neutral mage, certain magic can be unlocked)
'I should wait until level 15, it's only 5 levels away' with a mental thought, all the menu's closed and the sight of Nyoko nearly finishing her food came into a clear view. 'I shouldn't bother with the other magic right now, it will be too long to wait but that being said, how long does it take to master magic'.
"Hey Natsee" Nyoko patted her comically full belly.
"It's Natsu, Nyokee" Natsu dead panned. 'With her I can't tell if she actually forgot how to pronounce my name or is messing with me'.
Nyoko pouted as she slammed her palms on the table and leaned over. "I was going to ask if you wanted to travel with me but…" she crossed her arms. "Now I'm not so sure" she turned her head in a huff.

'Holy shit that's some fucked up quest but from what it looks like, doing a light choice gives you little rewards with practically no consequence but the dark choice gives a large reward with high consequences, then there is the neutral choice which is the middle of both'. Natsu narrowed his eyes 'I know what it has to be for me to become strong'. He sighed in her direction "Nyoko, did you really think that I would team up with you for this dream of yours… unless you want to be besties". Natsu finished it off with a wink.
"R-Really you want to be besties as in best friends" Nyoko jumped over the table and sat next to him. "Oh this is going to be so fun, we can fight, train, eat and sleep while we look for Igneel" Nyoko squealed excitedly. Chuckling at her excitement, Nyoko huffed at Natsu "what's so funny". He shook his head and pulled her into a hug without a word.

'So charm does work sometimes maybe I could grind it along with my other skills, stats are just as important as levels after all' Natsu hummed.
"Hey excuse me, I want some more food over her" Nyoko waved over a waitress while Natsu's eyes bulged out of his skull.
"Yes, what can I get you?" the waitress smiled.
"Everything again" Nyoko jumped in her seat. "Also…" Nyoko squirmed. "Where's the potty" the waitress pointed in the direction with a sweat drop as Nyoko rushed off.
"So…" Natsu turned to the waitress. "How is someone so beautiful stuck here as a waitress and not a model" he tried with all his hardest might to make his face like a lost puppy.
The waitress blinked blankly "Aww aren't you the cutest little thing". She pinched his cheek gently "aren't you a little young to be picking up girls?"
Natsu cocked his head to the side "but I've not tried to lift you up". She giggled at the innocent comment "do you want me to pick you up?"
"Maybe when you're older little man" the waitress leaned down and kissed Natsu's forehead then gave his hair a ruffle before walking away.
(Time skip)
As Nyoko got back and stuffed her face full of food. Natsu walked around the restaurant talking with the staff since there was no other customers at this time, Nyoko didn't even notice with food in front of her. Luckily for Natsu the owner took a liking to him as his feigned innocence got him trapped in a cycle of hugs and teasing, but at least he got a 10% discount on the food which was enough so he could actually afford it. On another note, the charm skill had increased a bit.
Charm (lvl 27)
The combination of using your appearance and personality to get someone infatuated with you or to simply like you better. 18% chance of charming a friend, 11% chance of charming a neutral individual, 5.5% chance of charming an enemy.
Note: while under the age of 10, Adults have a far large chance of being charmed by cuteness. Adults +50% increased charm rate.
"Hey Natsu, come on stop spacing out" Nyoko grabbed his hand. "Let's go, we have to find Igneel" she dragged him along, right back into the forest.
Chapter end
Well I hope you guys at least enjoyed this and if you guys did enjoy it, I'll continue it.
On another note, I was wondering what path you want Natsu and Nyoko going down. If you want him going down the Light path then he will most likely join Fairy Tail, going down the Dark path then he will join a dark guild presumably one of the top 3, or the Neutral path where he will either become an independent mage or join a guild such as phantom lord or sabretooth. The choice is yours and will decide the selection of people that can become pairings.
