Fyr3Flyt3: This is an idea that popped into my head in the shower. Do my best thinking in there. Don't know what it is.

Chapter 1: New Game

"Gomu Gomu no...Ougon Rifle!"

"That's right, smash that god bastard!" I yelled, as I watched that bastard Eneru proceed to get his face smashed in, during the final battle of the Skypeia arc. At about 1:34 at night.

I might have a problem, but I don't care. One Piece is one of, it not the, greatest anime/manga I have ever watched/read. A grand adventure of a rubbery teenager following his dream of becoming the King of the Pirates with his friends to the end of the world. It freaking inspiring, ya know. Tonight I had decided to go on a binge of the pre-timeskip arc, arcs that I had skipped over before.

I had started watching One Piece by catching an episode on Toonami, the episode right before the Straw Hats arrive at Water 7, were they meet Aokiji. From there I progressed to watch episodes online starting from the reunion on Saobody after the timeskip. Since then, I had become an One Piece addict.

"DANTE!" I jumped out of my desk chair and rolled to the floor on all fours, like a puma. Standing in my bedroom doorway was my mother wearing a red nightgown, hair wrapped in cheetah print cloth, and an angry look on her face. Uh-oh

"Yes?" I answered meekly, fully knowing why she's mad.

"Why are you still up? It is 1 o'clock at night, and I told you to go to bed at 12."

"Actually you didn't and it's more 1:30ish"

She gave me a look that just screamed ''Stop being a smart-ass'. I smiled at her, "Goodnight."

"Go to bed." She walked back down the hallway to her room and shut her door. Sighing, I shut my door and turned off my light. I stared at the laptop for a minute. I was basically done with all the parts I hadn't watched, but I also wasn't tired in the slightest. I brought the laptop over to my bed, going to MangaPanda to see if there was anything to read. I scrolled down a bit until I saw 'The Gamer' and clicked on it.

I had been reading 'The Gamer' for little while now. I liked the concept of gaining the powers that game characters have in real life and how Han Jee Han handled getting thrown into a world of magic surprisingly well. I would've had a panic attack.

*Ping*

A text box popped on my screen reading:

Would you like to start a new game?

[Yes] or [No]

Okay, weird. The rest of the scree was pitch black except for the glowing green text box, no exit button to be found.

"Ugh. It's probably just some stupid ad for a game or something", I whispered to myself, "fine, I'll click your stupid ad." Which I did. Dumbest thing I ever did.

The text box disappeared, before my entire screen went bright white, shining in my eyes blinding me as I felt myself drift into unconsciousness.

"Ahhh!" I shot up from laying down. I quickly did a full body check: arms, legs, head, fingers, toes, crotch.

Don't give me that look, with friends like mine, you don't know what they could do to you. And they know how to get into my house. Then, I noticed something. I wasn't in my house. I was on a hill, covered in tall, yellow grass, sitting under a tree. The grass went for what seemed to be forever until it met a thick forest. I noticed a path leading from the forest through the grass until it reached where I sat. Very few cloud were in the sky and not a living thing in sight. From the sun's location, I estimated it to be early morning, about 8:00 A.M.

Whoa, how did I just do all that? I never pay that much attention to detail, to ADD for that noise. I stood up, dusting off my clothes, when I noticed they weren't the clothes I was wearing before.

I am noticing a lot today, aren't I? Instead of the t-shirt and boxer I had been wearing previously, I had on a black jacket with a white shirt underneath, jeans and navy blue shoes I don't remember owning. Which I guess is better than t-shirt and boxers, but I didn't exactly appreciate someone switching my clothes, cause I wasn't wearing boxers anymore, now I'm in boxer breifs. The actual fuck.

"Well", I said, cracking my knuckles, "better find out were the hell I am."

*Ping*

"No way." I slowly turned around in horror to see a floating green text box.

Hello, Chosen of Gaia, You have been bestowed the power of: The Gamer.

'Fuck me.'

That is the eend of chapter 1 of Gamer Blues. I know it was short, but there wasn't that much for this first chapter. Chapter 2, "Gaming for Dummies", should be up soon if not immediately after this one. Here's a quick preview:

"GODDAMN IT!"

Doesn't sound like it's going well. So until next time, thanks for reading.
