So originally this was going to be a Rosario + Vampire fanfic about Tsukune gaining the power of the gamer but then I saw an AMV for star vs the forces of evil and I binged watched it.
Now I'm going to have to do a lot of world building to fit the gamer into this setting but I think I can do it but don't be surprised if things start popping off as this series has dimensional scissors so you have to expect crossovers to eventually happen.
I am having a rather hard time of figuring out a title for this particular story thus the tempt name of "Blue Screens" but that should be up for change.
Sorry if updating this chapter gives you an email but I was reading over the chapter and noticed a lot of small problems, and being the anal person that I am I needed to fix it.
[This is a disclaimer I do not own Star vs the Forces of Evil or anything else I write about.]
The birds are singing and the sun is shining on a quiet little house in the suburbs, all is right in this little scene at least it should be but a small teen is currently experiencing a rather odd situation.
[You have slept in a bed, HP and MP have fully recovered.]
The teen rubbed his eyes before looking up again but the odd little blue screen was still in front of him, normally he would be panicking by now but he was currently feeling an unnatural bout of calmness.
He reaches for the screen slowly as if not sure if he really wanted to touch it or not, on any other day he would have completely ignored it or go to a doctor and report his odd hallucinations but for some reason he felt unafraid of this strange screen as if it was just another part of him. His fingers brush against the screen and he could feel the cold plate of the thing but it soon faded away and he was left in his room without odd little boxes.
He stared at his fingers for a moment rubbing them briefly surely hallucinations don't have a physical aspect to them? But what did he know it's not like he was a doctor sure he knew a thing or two about first aid but he never encountered anything like this in his self- studies.
Sunlight blinds him for a second and he was suddenly reminded of what he was doing before the whole hallucination business, that thing being waking up so he got up and stretched to wake up and keep limber. He may not be the buffest kid around but he did regularly take karate lessons and while his muscle tone was not showing yet he was limber as hell.
After stretching he walked towards the bathroom in a relaxed manner as he was in no hurry school did not start for another three weeks. As he entered the room he stopped and looked at his reflection in stunned silence before he once again rubbed his eyes as if the motion will remove the blight of insanity in front of him.
He looked as he always did skinny with messy brown hair and brown eyes, no it was not his own appearance that was shocking him it was the glowing blue text on top of his head.
[The Gamer.]
(Marco Ubaldo Diaz Lv.1)
He tried to swipe away the strange hallucination but instead of meeting cold plate again his fingers just passed through the glowing text as if it was not there and considering that it was, in fact, a hallucination it was most likely not there.
After a few moments of futile swiping, he gave up and decided to go see a doctor later but he first needed a shower and to brush his teeth, the human mouth contains far too many germs and he was up for not losing any teeth.
As he was showering he contemplated his sudden bout of insanity, he did not feel insane but to be fair what insane person knew if they were insane? No, if he was insane he was sure he would not know it but so far his insanity was nothing too bad just some odd hallucinations but it could get worse so he decided he needed to tell his parents quickly.
*Ding*
The sharp bell sound awakens him from his musing but the sound was not the only thing as he was currently staring at another screen.
[Due to a well thought out decision you have gained a point of WIS.]
The strange screen confused him, why would his insanity applaud his decision calling it well thought out if this decision would lead him to curing him of said insanity? It did not make any sense to him but honestly when was insanity supposed to make sense? Another thing why was his mind so fixated on games? All of his hallucination were based off of games, sure he liked games he was a modern teen after all but he would have thought his obsession with martial arts would have been more important but no, his brain was throwing strange hallucinations on games.
Whatever it did not matter he was done with his shower so he could now go see his parents about being cured of his insanity. As he was leaving the shower he slipped on one of the tiles, of course, he would slip when he finally got over his fear of said thing happening he just stopped wearing that stupid helmet. With a meaty thud, his head hit the counter and he was blinded by pain for a moment but it faded quickly.
*Ding*
*Ding*
*Ding*
Well they do say you hear bells when you hit your head hard but this was probably more hallucinations, the more important thing was why was he not feeling any pain surely a hit that hard would cause him a shit ton of pain but he was feeling fine, in fact, he felt sturdier than he did before. Another thing why was he not panicking? He took first aid he knows how bad of an injury he should have and normally he would be in a full blown panic attack but here he was calmly analyzing everything that was happening to him.
He looked over at the blue screens as he checked his head for blood and again he was confused over what he saw.
[Due to a nearly fatal hit you have gained a point of VIT.]
[Due to surviving by sheer dumb luck you have gained a point of LUK.]
[Due to special actions you have gained the skill Physical Damage Resistance.]
He looked at his hands for blood but there was none so he thought over what he just read, his hallucinations while odd were structured and based off things that were happening to him it was reactive as he only got one when he did something or when something happened to him. Did that make it dangerous? To be totally honest these glowing blue screens were starting to grow on him and he was feeling reluctant when the thought of them leaving came up but then again he was feeling that way ever since he saw them. He did not know why but these screens felt like his hair or hoodie, something that he could live without but something that was a part of him.
He shook his head to clear his thoughts, while they may not be dangerous now seeing things was never a good sign so he should deal with it.
*Ding*
Again another screen popped up this one at least had familiar text.
[Due to a well thought out decision you have gained a point of WIS.]
He quickly swiped the screen away and then got dressed so he could go talk to his parents about this. He made his way downstairs and looked around for said parents.
"Dad! Mom!" His voice rang out through the house and to his shame it briefly squeaked, why did he have to be going through puberty?
He waited a moment for a response before again yelling this time in a more questioning tone, they usually were awake by now. He walked towards the kitchen in search of them shouting a bit louder as he went. As he entered he noticed that his parents were not there but there was a note pinned on the fridge. He shouted again as he looked through the note but stopped as he read the contents of said note.
Marco!
Your mother and I had to go the hospital your uncle tripped in the shower. You should not let this set you back son, I know you just got over your fear of falling but your not your uncle Marco so relax. Oh and make sure to do your chores.
*Ding*
He ignored the screen as he laughed briefly at the situation as he needed to be at the hospital as well but not because he slipped in the shower. Now done with his brief moment of levity he looked over the new screen in curiosity.
[A quest has been created!]
That's strange what quest? He swiped the screen away in confusion but another one took its place instead.
[A Father's Faith.]
Your father trusts you to do your chores before he get's back do not disappoint him!
Wash the dishes 0/1
Take out the garbage 0/1
Clean your room 0/1
Reward: 100XP, Increased relation with your Dad, Loyalty Medal.
Penalty: Decreased relation with your Dad.
(Accept) (Decline)
[|||||||||||||||||]
He smiled at the strange window as he hit accept, he was planning on doing those things anyways he had a need for order in his life and all three of those things would have bugged him anyways. He also did not want to disappoint his father.
He stopped for a moment and thought normally he would try his best to avoid any dangerous situations but for some odd reason, this potential mental breakdown felt right to him. He was even postponing getting fixed by doing his chores and that scared him.
Maybe he should go down to the hospital sure it would take a little while on the bus but he could handle it he was a responsible four-teen-year old after all. He finally made up his mind on going but then a thought popped up in his head, what if he got worse on the bus? He was fine now but what if he started to wander in the wrong direction because he was seeing things? It would probably be safer to stay here until his parents got home if he did start to get worse at least his parents would be able to find him.
Nodding at his own logic he went to go start the dishes as long as he was here he might as well do his chores, they were going to bug him after all. He just started to run the dishes through some warm water when the rather familiar bell sound rang out.
*Ding*
Feeling rather nonplussed about the odd screen he looks it over as he continues to wash.
[Due to special actions you have gained the skill Wash Dishes.]
He snorted at the strange screen, out of all the things he thought he could have gained a hallucination from, washing the dishes was not one of them. Why would he? What kind of game gave the character the special skill washing the dishes? Well, at least he knew his own brand of insanity had a sense of humor. As he was half-way through washing said dishes another screen popped up.
*Ding*
[Due to diligent use of the skill Wash Dishes, it has leveled.]
Again he snorted, he quickly finished washing the dishes oddly enough it went faster then he was used to, but maybe he was a bit distracted by the hallucinations?
He then moved on to throwing out the garbage, he almost expected another screen to pop-up proclaiming that he gained the skill trash disposal but nothing of the sort happened. He felt oddly disappointed for some reason.
Now only left with cleaning his room he went to said place, he kept his room fairly tidy usually as he was a bit of a neat freak but he was feeling particularly lazy this summer so he let it get a bit messy. It was still cleaner than your average teenage room but that was no excuse.
He entered his room and glanced around to see what was out of place, the room itself was nothing special with your standard setup of bed, desk and nick nacks. It only took him a few moments to get everything in order as it was not particularly messy in the first place. As soon as he finished putting away his last shirt another screen popped up in front of him.
*Ding*
[Congratulations you have completed the quest A Father's Faith, click here to claim your rewards!]
Feeling an odd sense of amusement he touched the screen, it was not going to go away by itself and it was going to bug him if it stayed floating there all day. With a flash of light, he was suddenly holding a sun shaped medal with the word familia carved into it.
*Ding*
*Ding*
*Ding*
He stared dumbfounded at the oddly warm medal in his hands, that only lasted a moment before a sudden bout of panic almost overwhelmed him. He was just starting to throw his hands in the air and run around like a chicken with its head cut off when he was greeted with a wave of calm again. The feeling of panic was still there it was just overwhelmed by calm, if he had to compare it he would say it was like trying to hear someone talk underwater.
With his new found calm he started to think through everything that has happened today and he could only draw one conclusion... He was not seeing things the screens were real and for some reason, his life was now a video game...
He once again threw his hands in the air in a panicked frenzy as that thought was pure lunacy, he had to be insane right? Again his emotions were muted in a wave of calm but it still did not stop him from thinking he might have been crazier than he thought. He closed his eyes and tried to count to ten to banish this insanity but those stupid screens remained in his vision even with his eyes closed so he went to wave them away but not before looking them over, he was anal like that.
[Rewards gained! 100XP, Increase relation, and a Loyalty Medal.]
[You have completed a loyalty quest! From now on you will not gain
increase relationship with Rafael Diaz.]
[You have leveled up!]
He leveled up? What the heck does that mean? If his life was truly a video game then leveling up should have made him stronger but he felt almost exactly the same, the only difference was he felt less tired and that could have been attributed to a sudden shot of adrenaline. Wait, the level up did not change anything but when he hit his head and gained a point of VIT he felt sturdier does that mean he really was in a video game?
The thoughts just kept bouncing around in his head and he could not come up with an explanation that made sense. He was either insane or he was in a video game which is insanity in itself, He needed more proof but how was he going to get that proof? With a normal game, he would have a menu to look through his stats and things but the only thing that popped up were these annoying windows the ones announcing to him that he gained a stat point or he leveled up his various skills.
Suddenly a blue screen flashed into existence the odd thing was it was not accompanied by the odd bell sound. He looked over the thing in confusion.
[Skills]
[Gamer's Body (MAX)]
[Gamer's Mind (MAX)]
[Physical Damage Resistance (Lv.1)]
[Wash Dishes(Lv.2)]
[||||||]
Did he bring that up? How the hell did he bring up a menu? Wait he just had to think through his actions, he was thinking about the annoying windows and what they told him was that it? Did he have to think some sort of keyword? If so what is it? He looked over the new screen while he thought about it but when he saw the name at the top of the menu he face palmed. Of course, the keyword was Skills, well he thought it was the word Skills but there was really only one way to test that. He flicked the screen away and thought of the word Skills and sure enough, the screen reappeared.
*Ding*
He was briefly distracted by an additional screen popping up but the contents were something he was familiar with already.
[Due to a successful deduction you have gained a point of WIS.]
He gained another point of WIS but he really did not feel different, how does one feel when they are wiser? He briefly contemplated that thought before he shelved it, he could come back to that later but his new skill window was his main priority. He had four skills two of which he knew of while the others were either new or were already there. The thing is a name and level of a skill was not really that helpful, in an RPG you are usually capable of reading your skills but he can't figure out how. He thought about how to read the skills before he face palmed again, he clicked on the skill icons and sure enough, the skill description popped up.
[Gamer's Body (MAX)]
Grants the user a body that allows them to live their life as if they were in a video game.
[||||||||||||||||||||]
Well, that was incredibly vague what did that even mean? There were so many possibilities with that one sentence but he would need to test each one to know for sure due to the vague description. Feeling satisfied with his thoughts, for now, he moved onto the next one.
[Gamer's Mind (MAX)]
Allows the user to calmly and logically think things through.
Allows peaceful state of mind.
Immunity to psychological ailments.
[||||||||||||||||||||]
This one was less vague but deeply concerning, this ability was affecting his mind. Is that why he was feeling sudden bouts of calm? He thought over his actions of the day and sure enough, he was acting different, but not in a bad way he still felt the same just with a layer of calm on top, still, it was a disturbing thought. Feeling a bit more down about this whole experience he clicked on the next one.
[Physical Damage Resistance (Lv.1)]
The body of the user is now resistant to all forms of physical damage.
Total resistance: 1%
[||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||]
That was cool he was now able to shave off one percent of physical damage taken, at least he thought so. Resistance worked differently in a lot of games like D&D, for example, resistance there meant you would take half damage that would knock him down to half a percentage. It could also be running on a different system the whole thing was filled with endless possibilities, the main thing is that it is a good skill to have. Feeling better about the whole thing he clicked on his last skill which would probably be his most useless one.
[Wash Dishes (Lv.2)]
The user of this skill knows the in's and out's of washing dishes, they will be faster at cleaning them.
15% increase in washing speed.
[|||||||||||||||||||]
Yeah, that skill was useless, it's only use is for when he had chores to do and it's not like washing the dishes took that long. Still, it was a skill and he was not going to complain about it he may not be able to use it often but when he does have to, at least he has it. He again paused in thought when did he start thinking this was all real, a few moments earlier he was in a full blown panic over whether or not he was sane but now here he stands fully believing his life was a game.
Of course, he does not want to be insane but why was he so trusting of this madness? He had no proof that any of this was real.
Proof yeah proof was what he needed but how is he supposed to get it? Since skills worked as a keyword then there has to be other keywords, right? If that is the case then what would work? Menu was off the table that did nothing, stats did not work either which was rather odd. Honestly, he was running out of options here. A new screen blurs into existence, and he quickly looked it over.
[Options]
[Sound]
[Controlls]
[Game Play]
[||||||||]
Having learned from the previous menu he looked at the top and saw what word was needed, now that he thought about it options was a pretty obvious one. The question now is what do these options do, if his life is a game how does this affect things? Well he was not going to learn anything if he just stood here so he clicked the first one.
[Sound]
[BGM](Off)
[Music Level] []
[Sound effects][||||||||||||||||||||]
[Voice] [||||||||||||||||||||]
[||||||||]
Well, he really should have guessed what this was with a name like sound. Still, he was rather curious about his background music so he clicked it and suddenly a bright cheery Mariachi song was playing. Well, that's racist and admittedly appropriate he would be the first one to admit that his home looked like a stereotype. He paused in thought was this his proof? He could have sworn he never heard this song before and now he was hearing it, but he could have just forgotten about it and now his brain was recalling it in some odd attempt to comfort him.
There is another experiment he could do, he muted all sound options and looked around. The world seemed the same but it was dead silent he could not even hear himself breathing, to test it a little more he picked up a book and dropped it. The book hit the ground and no sound was produced, that's his proof, right? Surely even mad men can not selectively deafen themselves, at least he thought so what did he know he was just a fourteen year old. He quickly put all the sound options back to default as he did not want to stay deaf but he did leave BGM on as it was interesting at the very least.
Since he was now sure his life was now a video game for whatever odd reason he dispelled the current window and brought up the options menu again. Now back at the options screen, he clicked on the next one.
[Controlls]
[Intent-based](Off)
[Voice command](On)
[Thought command](On)
[Keywords](Default)
[|||||||||||]
Jackpot, the last one is what he has been looking for but the others are interesting as well. Voice command and thought command made sense to him as it was clearly telling him that he could interact with the screens using thought or vocal words, intent was a bit trickier but he figured it meant that he could only interact with menu's using voice or thought commands when he was trying to but considering it was off at the moment it did not matter. He quickly hit keywords as he wanted to know what other words worked.
[Keywords]
[Inventory](Default)
[Map](Default)
[Options](Default)
[Party](Default)
[Quests](Default)
[Status](Default)
[Skills](Default)
[|||||||||||||]
Perfect he now knew all the words, Inventory was super interesting did that mean he had a hammer-space or was it just a list of the things he was carrying. The Map was a bit dull in comparison he could look up a map on his phone anytime he wanted. Options he skipped over because he already knew about it but Party was something new did that mean he could invite others to play this game or did they have to have this ability as well for him to invite them. Status was probably what he was looking for regarding his stats, he would have never guessed that word as most games just use stats. He already knew about Skills so it did not matter, but it looked like he could change the word that brought up each menu but he decided against it as it would only lead to more confusion.
He was tempted to bring up the new menu's he found but he only had one last thing left on the options screen so he brought it up.
[Game-Play]
[Auto-Enter Dungeons](On)
[HUD](Off)
[Mini-Map](Off)
[Play-Style](First-Person)
[Subtitles](Off)
[|||||||||||]
There were dungeons in real life? Why would this be set to on, who wanted to auto-enter dungeons? That shit is dangerous he turned off that option real quick.
*Ding*
Great, what did he do this time?
[Due to making a wise decision you have gained a point of WIS.]
Wow, they were really handing out those WIS points, there treating them as if they are pieces of candy. Whatever a bonus point for him is always good.
He looked over the HUD option for a second before he decided to turn it on, he could always turn it off if he did not like it. As he turned on the option a red and a blue bar appeared in his vision, other than that nothing showed up so he left it on as he assumed the bars were for his HP and MP and knowing what those were constantly was important.
The next thing was Mini-Map, he said that he could always look up a map on his phone earlier, but having a mini-map in a game was a completely different thing so he turned it on. A small gray circle appeared just above the bars, he concentrated on it for a moment and it expanded to show him a map of his surroundings with odd little icons appearing randomly, he is going to have to check on those later. Once he stopped concentrating about the map it faded back into a gray dot, that was useful.
The next thing was Play-Style but he really did not want to touch that with a ten-foot pole as he liked how everything was now. He did not want to experience life in third-person.
The last option was Subtitles, he thought about it but he honestly thought it would become annoying quickly if he turned it on so he left it be.
Now done with all the option menu's he moved on to the new keywords he found, so with a brief thought, the inventory screen popped up.
[Inventory]

Sweet it looked like he really did have a hammer space and there was also a small portrait of himself with several boxes slapped all over his body, that must be equipment as he could see his red hoodie and jeans were currently in their various boxes. He tested it to make sure he really had a hammer space by putting his backpack in and sure enough, it disappeared and a box with a picture of his backpack appeared in the inventory screen.
He dismissed the screen and thought about what to bring up next, the Map seemed kind of useless to bring up as he could just look at the mini-map and the Party screen seemed useless for now as he had no one to play with. So he brought up the Quests screen.
[Quests]
[A Father's Faith](Completed)
[||||||||||]
Yeah, it looked like what he thought it might look like. He really had nothing to do here so he moved on to the one he was most excited about and brought up the Status screen.

Wow, he really did have a stat screen but without knowing what is standard he could not really know if his current stats were normal or not. His highest stats were WIS and LUK, he briefly wondered why his LUK was so high but being gifted with a reality bending ability was probably really lucky, the WIS made sense even if he wanted to not admit it, so far he gained points by making smart decision or by solving a mystery and well he spent a lot of his time avoiding danger which could be considered smart.
It looked like he had points to add to his current stats but until he learned where he was lacking he avoided it, for now, he could also grind out stats as his constant WIS pop-ups showed. The question is what actions increase the stats for STR he could probably lift weights but what about DEX running or maybe acrobatics? VIT was increased by toughening up as shown by him gaining a point when he hit his head. Int was probably increased by expanding his knowledge pool while WIS was probably increased by solving puzzles or planning things out. LUK was a bit tricky but he could probably increase by gambling not that he needed it by the looks of it.
*Ding*
Now knowing what he knows he probably gained a point of WIS for a reasonable deduction.
[Due to a well thought out deduction you have gained a point of WIS]
He totally called it! Now, what stats should he increase? INT is probably the best option as a modern society really does need smart people, but if he increased his STR and DEX he could become really good at sports... maybe he could even catch Jackie's attention, although she really did not seem the type to fuss over jocks. With an increase in DEX and STR, he could finally beat up that smug Jeremy...God that was really tempting.
Who was he kidding he wanted to increase his physical stats because he wanted an awesome body, he always imagined himself with sweet abs. The question now is what is the best way to train physically? He initially tried to think up several convoluted methods of training like weighted clothes and giant rocks chained together and then pulled but even he knew that he was not at that level. No, he decided to do what any modern teenager would do, He googled it.
After half an hour of research, he found a training plan that seemed easy but people were raving online about. 100 Push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and a 10km run every day! He could always add onto the plan if it turned out too easy. He might as well start now so he changed his clothes using his new handy dandy inventory and started his push-ups.
"1...2...3...4" He continued to push his body up and down quietly breathing out evenly, he may not be buff but he does take Karate.
"12...13...14...15...16" It was starting to get hard but he should be able to pull through.
"22...23...25...I mean 24 shit!...Now it's 25." He was almost at his limit but he still did not get a point.
'26...27...28...29...30." His arms were shaking at this point and his breathing was becoming irregular but he still did not get a point.
"31..." He could not do it anymore it was too much. He collapsed and just laid down for a moment as he let his shaky arms rest. He was kind of disappointed as he did not even reach the halfway mark but that went to show you how good of a training plan this was.
After about three minutes of rest he felt completely fine, which was odd but after a moment of thought, he got it. A video game character does not tire from a physical activity they could repeat an action over and over again it would just take a loading screen for them and his loading screen was three minutes of rest.
So now feeling right as rain he went back to his push-ups, he got up to fifty before he heard the familiar bell ring.
*Ding*
[Due to the pushing of your muscles you have gained a point of STR.]
Sweet that was what he wanted, he even felt stronger but he did not really notice any differences body wise. Wait most video game characters look the same no matter how much stat points they have in STR, does that mean he will never be ripped!? His brief panic attack was swallowed by a wave of calm and he relaxed, it was just one point he can start the panic game again when he had an increase of at least ten so another nine to go.
He finished up the push-ups without rest thanks to the extra point of STR but he did not gain a point so he moved onto the next exercise sit-ups! He was just on his twenty-fifth one when the bell he was waiting for rang.
*Ding*
[Due to the pushing of your muscles you have gained a point of STR.]
Again sweet, he was not really expecting a different stat to pop up but it was still nice to see it. Again he finished the rest with no pop-ups which basically told him the higher his base stat was the harder it would be to raise it through training activities.
*Ding*
What the heck, what did he get this time?
[Due to an accurate assessment you have gained a point of WIS.]
Well, any stat except WIS as they seem to be giving them out like their out of style. Shrugging he moved on to his next exercise which of course was squats, as he was finishing his seventy-fifth one he gained another point.
*Ding*
[Due to the pushing of your muscles you have gained a point of STR.]
Again finishing the last squat did not net him a point but he shelved it for now as he spent an hour working out and he still had to do the stupid run, which sucks because he was starving... well he thought he should be he did not really feel any different but he had not eaten anything all day.
Shrugging at the thought he put on his sneakers and left the house for a jog, he was about half-way through it when the sound rang out again.
*Ding*
[By performing a special action you have gained the skill Running.]
Well, he was expecting a stat gain but a skill was welcome, he brought up the skill menu and looked through the new gain.
[Running (Lv.1)]
Since the dawn of the human race, it's people have been capable of running but only a master can run really fast.
Passively increase speed by 10%.
Actively increase speed by 20%
Active cost 50MP/MIN.
[|||||||||||||||]
That's cool he got his first active skill, the question is how does he activate it? Well, thinking about a menu's name allowed them to be called out so maybe he had to do the same? Well here goes nothing, running!
He felt a drain from his very being before he noticed his feet glowing blue as he increased in speed, that would be really inconvenient if he accidentally activated an ability so he turned on Intent-Based. He got another seven minutes of running before he collapsed on the floor suddenly, he was a little confused because he felt fine a moment ago but then he remembered his MP it must have emptied. Just to be sure he checked his stat page.

Yup he ran out of MP and now he can't move, he paused for a second in thought before he mentally slapped himself he can see his MP at all times with his HUD on but he was ignoring it he even brought up his stat page instead of looking at the stupid thing, he has to get used to actively checking the damned thing.
After a minute of waiting his MP increased by nine points and he was able to move again, after a brief moment of contemplation he realized that meant he recovered MP at a rate of about 2.6%. He was going to get up but then he heard a skateboard come down the street, it stopped in front of him and he froze because there was only one person in echo creek that was a skater.
"Marco? Are you alright?" The familiar tone checks the final box on his list, he knows exactly who is in front of him.
"Heeeey Jackie...I'm fine, I just fell while jogging..." He felt his face go scarlet as he tried to relax but with her right, in front of him he was having trouble.
"Jogging? Cool. Well, if you don't need help I'll be on my way." She started to skate down the street and he wanted to say anything to keep the conversation going but he just clammed up.
After a few minutes of his face in the grass he got up sure that she was gone, he was going to have to work on that if he wanted to snag her heart he knew that but it was hard especially with all his insecurities. He took a deep breath and calmed his beating heart, he may not be happy with himself now but with this ability, he could become someone that could win her heart. With that determination in mind, he continued his jog this time without the running ability active.
After his jog he made his way home and took a shower, he had the rest of the day to do things but for now, he just wanted to eat.

I thought that in this series having a gamer would be ridiculously OP but then I remembered that there is an embodiment of space and time and he lost to Toffee and Moon is strong as well.
Wow, this chapter took three days to write but I had fun the entire time so that was cool. Still, over 6k words is a record for me. I know this chapter was filled with a lot of Marco doubting his sanity but I always thought it weird that people just accepted that their life was now a video game, I personally would think I was insane, I would think it was awesome but I would still doubt my sanity.
The next chapter is going to be grinding so boring, things are not really going to pick up till star get's there so sorry about that. But I should get there pretty fast or I might throw in a random arc before that happens.
The pairing...Well I want to go with Starco because they are adorable but I could be influenced to change my mind, so I will leave it as is for now with hints of Starco here and there.
I don't really expect this story to be particularly popular but I'm doing this more for me as this idea has been haunting me since I saw the show.
