An explosion.

Thousands of Gunshots all around me.

People dying.

Grimm dying.

Pain.

My girlfriend's are fighting too.

What do I feel?

...

...

...

I FEEL EXHILARATING!

I slashed another in half with my blade and shot one coming at my left with my assault rifle. I ducked under a wild paw and slashed with my blade again, killing another Grimm.

I stopped fighting and weaved my way through the chaos to my first one.

"**** what are you doing?" She yelled to be heard. I grinned and pulled her in for a kiss. She became still and her eyes widened before they slowly shut.

All the blood and gore around us slowed.

I let go of her and weaved around to my second one.

"TAKE THAT GRIMM!" She yelled. I tapped her on the shoulder. She turned to face me. I mashed our lips together. She was shocked for a second before she pulled me closer and closed her eyes. "Naughty boy." I slipped out of her grasp and slid through the murder and mayhem to my third one.

It was pretty easy to keep up with her, despite the fact that she was moving so fast.

"****? What are you-?" She began. I pushed my lips against hers. She was briefly shocked before she began kissing passionately back. Her hand stroked my chin. Sliding out of her embrace, I charged through as the fighting got thinner, to the point where I could barge the Grimm out of the way toward my fourth and final gir!friend.

"****! Get back out-!" She began before I forced her lips against mine. She attempted to struggle out but I held firm and eventually she pushed back slightly. I let go of her and she glared at me, hatefully and lovingly. I grinned innocently and ran back into the fighting,already slashing and shooting.

I ducked and weaved and slashed and shot but the hordes seemed endless. I looked up and saw a Bullhead falling toward me. it collided and I flew away from the battlefield, having a branch forced into me that ended up breaking. I coughed up blood and grinned despite the situation. I broke the branch out of me and fell to the floor.

I checked my health bar.

1/?

So close. How did I lose so much HP?

1 HP means a coma to me.

I looked at the thinning battlefield.

We were going to win it seemed.

But at what cost?

Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Maybe, in my final waking moments, I should tell you my story.

Well, here's how it goes...

Start...

I jolted awake.

White. White. More white.

I got to my feet and looked around in a sort of calm panic.

Your cool headedness has steeled your resolve! Your INT has increased to 11!

...

Uh... The fuck?

Hang on, game interface, actions that improve my stats. I read this in a fanfic. Have I become The Gamer?

Everytning went black.

I woke up and got to my feet.

I looked around the alleyway I found myself in.

I walked out and saw the shop.

Dust 'til Dawn
