Chapter 1: Start
[You have woken up from sleeping on the floor in an alley. 10% of HP and MP restored.]
My mind was hazy. Where was I? Why was I in what amounted to a trash heap? And what the hell was with this blue box?
I reached out for it, and I noticed my arm. It was small, like that of a child.
"W-wha-" My hands reached for my throat. That was not my voice! What the hell was going on!
[Welcome, user, to your new life as a [Gamer]! In exchange for this great power, you have been transported to a new world! In this case, you are now in the world of [Berserk]! The world around you has been paused so to not make you seem crazier than normal.]
B-Berserk! Holy shit! I mean, it is my favorite manga, but I don't want to deal with-
…
I can't remember…
I can't fucking remember!
The most I remember of the series was that there was a man with black hair and a big sword named Guts, and the entire world was shit. Like, so dann corrupted that 9/10 your life started out or ended up so shitty you'd be lucky to kill yourself.
I took a deep breath and calmed down slightly. "I can work with this. I can probably work with this." I swiped the blue box.
[When you say [Status], you will be able to see your Character Sheet, which has all of your information and your skills. Go ahead.]
"Status?"

[Skills]
Gamer's Body - Lvl MAX

Gamer's Mind - Lvl MAX
Allows the user to calmly and logically think things through. Allows peaceful state of mind. Immunity to psychological status effect.
And I am now female. I am a little girl.. Fan-fucking-tastic. At least I can probably do magic. That's one of the only pluses I see so far. And why don't I have a name?
[It seems that you do not yet have a name. Please state your desired name.]
…
I feel as though this game is mocking me. Whatever. Now a name, hmm. Let's go with this one shall we?
[Are you sure you want to use the name [Morrigan]?]
Yes. I shall be a magic user named Morrigan. I was tempted to use Raven but that seemed too emo.
[Good job! Now as you can see, you have some Stat points that you can distribute. At the moment, all of your Stats are that of an average human of your age. Click on a Stat to know about it's basic function]
Str - Strength - How physically strong you are. Higher the Strength, the higher your melee damage will be.
Vit - Vitality - Your Vitality, stamina, or life force. For each point you put into it, you get an additional +50 HP
Dex - Dexterity - This is a measure of how fast and flexible you are. The higher the Dex, the more these are increased.
Int - Intelligence - How smart you are and how fast you can process information. Each point adds +100 to MP.
Wis - Wisdom - This shows how well you can think and your overall wisdom. Each point adds +2% to MP regeneration.
Luk - Luck - This mysterious force is a mystery in how it works, but it affects everything that you do.
Huh. Cool.
Now one of the questions is, should I save these and see if I can gain them on my own through hard work or if I need to spend them. I'll just save them if that's the case.
[For thinking logically and planning ahead, you have gained +1 to Int and Wis!]
…
This game is 100% mocking me.
I look through the skills and I'm not sure if I'm impressed. Sure, they're good skills to have, but I am- was pretty sure I was skilled in plenty of things. Unless this only counted combat specific skills? Eh, I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
[One way to increase your level is through the tried and true method of combat, where you get Exp depending on how difficult that enemy is. Another is through Quests. If you don't know what a Quest is, press Quest.]
I know what a fucking quest is, move on!
[Another perk of the [Gamer] ability is the power of the Inventory! From there, you can store and retrieve items as well as equip clothing! Go on and say Inventory.]
"Inventory."
A screen with boxes popped up, with a separate screen showing myself. Long black hair, pale af completion, and amber eyes that seemed to be constantly scowling. I looked almost anorexic, with my bones being visible in some places. I was wearing what appeared to be a potato sack with foot wrappings. I clicked on them.
Rubbish Tunic - Quality: Very Poor - A tunic that looks more suited to be in the trash than anywhere on a human being.
Durability 2/5
-50% rep with Nobles, Knights, Soldiers, Merchants, and Middle Class
+25% rep with Urchins
Rubbish Footwraps - Quality: Very Poor - Just some junk cloth used so your feet don't immediately freeze.
Durability 1/5
+5% cold resistance
+1 Dex
Well… I've got crappy stuff. Like, that's not even sarcasm, I'm at the bottom of the damn barrel here.
And I've got next to nothing in my actual inventory. 4 silver and 13 bronze is all of my money, and other than,that I've got a half eaten apple and stale bread. How stale? I could legitimately use it as a weapon.
[This is the end of the introduction to the basics of the [Gamer] power. Please enjoy your new life and power to the fullest! Time shall now continue.]
Haha! You've got a great sense of humor, game! 10/10, would sarcasm again.
All at once, I could hear muffled noises, not that they were covered up, but that I was too far away to even hear it to begin with. The smell also finally hit, and it was bad. Rotting garbage and wet animal and shit. What the literal fuck!
I covered my nose, trying my damndest not to outright vomit what little was probably in my stomach. It also didn't help that a rat decided to run over me.
But I didn't.
I may be stuck in this world, but it's essentially the dark ages, and not only am I probably smarter than almost the entire population, I've got potentially the best ability to survive here. I laughed a little to myself.
I will survive.
