DISCLAMER: I DO NOT OWN TDG and THE GAMER
Chapter 1
It all started when I was sitting in the class. Shen Xiu, our teacher is teaching about the ranking of cultivator.
I suddenly notice something appeared on her head.
Sister of the Patriarch of Sacred Family
Lv26 Shen Xiu
I rubbed my eyes but the words on her head didn't disappear. Then I look at my other classmates, I can also see their Name and this Lv with a number, I didn't know what does it means. While I was looking at the surrounding I saw a two words that floating at the two individuals.
Reincarnated Perosn
L2 Nie Li
Daughter of the City Lord
Lv8 Ye Ziyun
'What?! That mysterious girl was the daughter of the City Lord? But that not important right now, that guy, the word that floating on his head is really suspicious. Did he really reincarnate? Is he a person from the past. Maybe I can ask a help from him if he is a good person.'
After thinking for a while, I look at the top, to look if I too have something floating above my head.
The Gamer
Lv5 Du Ze
'What a stranger word. Gamer, did it mean a player of a game? Is this a game? Or maybe I'm inside of someone's illusion. But who will do such a thing inside the school? Is it the Dark Guild? Not possible because the higher ups of the school are really strong. But why is that word saying I'm a 'gamer', I always worked hard, dreaming to enhance my families lives, I can only play with the other kids for a short time when I was small.'
My thought is broken by Teacher Shen Xiu's voice.
"I hope each and every one of you have self-awareness and have a degree of manners. Commoners will always remain as commoners. It's impossible for you to become an Aristocratic family, so do not dream of rising up to becoming a phoenix. Even within nobility, they have a strict difference of levels which can never be exceeded."
When I heard her word, I really got angry, but I can't disrespect her. She may get angry at me and make my already suffering family live more difficult lives. I just clenched my fist to calm myself, strangely enough I calmed down really fast.
Then someone questioned Teacher Shen Xiu, it's the Reincarnated person, Nie Li. They talked back to each other loudly. The dying hope to become stronger is reignited by his word when he said that the sole Legend Rank expert in the city is a commoner from birth.
They made a bet at each other, in two months Nie Li said that he will reach Bronze Rank, betting that he will get out of the school if he fails while challenging Shen Xiu that she will quit being a teacher if he succeeds.
Nie Li punished by Shen Xiu after their squabble, he will be standing behind the class while Shen Xiu is teaching. This guy worth my respect, even if he is reincarnated or not I don't care anymore, he stands for us commoners even he is an aristocrat. I will treat him as my brother from now on.
I too stand at the back of the class, I decided to follow him for a while and see if really a good person. I will be just careful and will not ask him about the word that float above his head.
Then another aristocrat kid follow us, Lu Piao, after him followed 3 other commoners students. While standing, Nie Li and Lu Piao start talking to each other about a girl, Ye Ziyun, looks like Lu Piao didn't know about her identity.
"You two should stop wasting time thinking about girls, we only have two months before the exam. We should train hard to get a good result."
"Who said that I'm wasting time thinking about girls?! I always train hard, I only think about girls for a half-day!"
'Did I really make a good decision following these two fools? I should warn Nie Li about Ye Ziyun's identity, but I need to do it indirectly. It will be a problem if he asked me how did I know her identity.'
"Nie Li, I recommended for you to give up, we should focus on our training"
"Don't worry, I'm well aware of the things that I want to do and they will definitely be accomplished!"
He sounds confident. Did he know about her identity? Maybe he really can do what he wants, with that word above his head. He must be a knowledgeable person from the past, or maybe a strong expert that died before the Dark Age.
"Fine, no matter what you do, we will always support you!"
"Du Ze, Lu Piao, I will let the both of you become the strongest demon spiritist!"
Strongest. Can I really become stronger, even if I can't if he can help me improve my families lives, that would be enough.
"Forget it, I only have a red soul realm. With the support of my family's elixir becoming a fighter wouldn't be an issue, but becoming a demon spiritist is seriously too hard!"
This guy named Lu Piao is a lazy one huh, should I convince Nie Li to kick this guy out from the group? But they look close. Maybe I should encourage him first.
"What's the use of becoming a fighter? The higher you climb, the harder it is to train and a fighter of same rank can't be the match of an equally ranked demon spiritist. In the battlefield, a legend rank fighter isn't even worth a black gold demon spiritist. You must know that demon spiritualists are powerful combat forces!"
"No need to become a legend rank fighter, if I can become a gold rank fighter I'd be satisfied!"
Is there really no medicine for this guy laziness?
"Having red soul realm, so what? I'm also only a red soul realm."
Yeah, this guy have red soul realm too, but he really is confident to reach bronze rank in two months. Did he have some secrets method to quickly breakthrough bronze rank? I should probe him carefully.
"Nie Li, do you have a method that can refine soul force to become a demon spiritualist faster?"
"Just listen to me, as long as you two didn't give up I can make you two a demon spiritualist in no time"
So he really does have a method. I just need to work hard and don't give up he said. Me giving up will never happen, after they fed me and keep me alive even they already have a problem keeping their self alive they still didn't abandoned me.
"Give up? NEVER!"
"Will it be troublesome?"
"Not troublesome. We just need money"
'What? Money? Now where will I get that, even eating for me is already a problem.'
"If it can be solved by money then it's really easy. How much do you need? I have saved up two thousand demon spirits coin. If I can really become a demon spiritualist, then I can afford to use it all."
'That's really a lot, I can buy the others some food to it for a few days with that amount.'
"What can two thousand demon spirit coins do? Of course it's not enough. You'll need at least millions of demon spirit coins, or even tens of millions of demon spirit coins!"
I almost fainted when I heard what Nie Li said. But something caught my attention; it's a floating blue box with some word written on it.
[Quest: Pride of the Poor – prove to Shen Xiu that even a commoner student like you can rise to the top with enough determination
Reward: 50000 EXP, 15 Status Points, Your family will be proud of you
Failure: The Gamer will going to find a new host, Your family hopes on you will decrease]
[Will you accept it? Yes No]
'Quest? It must be some kind of mission, I don't know what the benefits of reward except my family. I should choose no, I don't know what is the gamer, but I can't let my family become depress. I should I choose it? Can I touch it?'
When my hand is about to touch the No box, another box suddenly appeared again.
[If you choose Yes, you will receive a guide that will answer your question]
'It's making me choose yes, maybe, just maybe it really can help me. I guess I can somehow make my family happy even if I fail on the future. It just said that it will be decreased and not that they will permanently see me as a failure. Okay you win.'
I touch the Yes box.
[Quest has been accepted.]
{What will be your question?}
A voice rang inside my head, I can't identify if is a man or woman. When I was about to voice out my question the voice resounded again inside my head.
{You just need to ask through your thought. Don't let the other's know about the 'The Gamer'}
'What is the 'The Gamer''
{A power that can help you to become stronger}
'How?'
{I should just guide you. If you keep asking question maybe it will take years for me to finish answering your questions. Say 'Status' inside your mind}
'Status' I follow what did the voice said and another box appear.

]
{Lv is like the representation of your cultivation, you can by training or killing demon beast, but for me you will benefit more by training than killing which is faster. The HP is your life in numerical form, the MP is needed if you gained some useful skill. The STR,VIT,DEX,INT,WIS,LUK is already understandable by its name you can increase it while training, that's why I said it more beneficial for you to train than to kill demon beast. The statu point can be distrusted to your STR,VIT,DEX,INT,WIS,LUK. You can gain 5 status points every level.}
{Every 10 level is a realm so if you reach lvl 10 then congratulation you're a Bronze Rank Demon Spirtualist and every even number is a star.}
{Now say skill}
'Skill'
[Skills:
Gamer's Mind
Gamer's Body]
{Here you can see some of your skill that you gained}
{Now Inventory}
'Inventory'
A box appeared again it was divided into two. In the left there is a 3x4 boxes with my body behind it. Two of the boxes in the middle have the clothes that I'm currently wearing. At the right side there is a 4x4 boxes, one of the boxes have some box like thing in it.
{At the left side you can see yourself and what you're currently wearing at the other side is like a interspatial ring but infinite, it means endless.}
{You should open the gift later. It can help you, just think that you want a place that can help you cultivate faster}
{Another is party invite. You don't have to try now, I'll explain it to you. Just say party invite then look at the person or say the person's name. They temporarily can access their status and distributed their unused status, also can level up faster that way.}
{Now I'm done explaining things to you, I'm going. You just have been chosen so that's why you have this power or ability you call it what you like. Why the power manifest like this is because this the best way it can help you}
{So bye now. Take care Du Ze}
After saying that the voice never resounded or speak to me again. My thought got broken, again, by the ring of the bell. The class is over and Nie Li said that he will take us somewhere to make money.
