Hey, my name James. Why am I currently making a log to myself for no apparent reason? Well it was do this or keep staring at all the mechanical shit and needles these people are about to put into me.

My story is a simple one. I've been a major gamer since I was seven, and by the age of 15 I was a relative expert at both computer and console gaming. So one day I was snooping around on the internet to find a new game to add to the chopping block when I stumbled across this article about a new technology that would send you into the computer. Of course, being a huge tech wiz (you can't spend most of your life using the system without getting skilled at it.) I was completely drawn to the idea. Then I found out that their was a contest for first spot in and immediately signed up.

One month of intense gaming later and I was ready for my copy of sword art online and a nerve gear console. Instead, I got a growing regret of not reading the blasted documents before I signed up.

"Soooo, will this hurt?" I ask, looking over the series of tiny machines that they will be putting all over his body.

The surgeon stopped for a moment and gave me a plastic smile. "Not one bit. We have enough pain killers to numb an elephant. You are perfectly safe." That was an obvious lie. I have defeated computers that could lie better.

Great. I am so going to die, all for being good video gamer. The guy with the needle walked over to my side and asked if I was ready to begin. "Let's get over with it." I say, clearing my head as if I was going into a fast paced game to sharpen my reaction speed.

"Ok, first we're inject the numbing agents. This will make you feel all fuzzy, and don't worry if you pass out. You won't remember what happened anyways." The needle went in, and I went out.

For once, I was so glad that I actually missed all the action. When I woke up there was blood all over the bed and pain riddled my body. Dear god, if this was dying, I pity each and every AI I had ever killed.

"Ah your awake." I look over my shoulder to find a shocked looking Doctor who was reading some lab results on his clipboard. "You can sit up now." I then notice that the restraints are no longer on. You know, why the hell am I still talking to myself? I live! Suck it, Schrodinger! This box no longer contains me!

(Changing point of view, please wait. Lol.)

James swung his legs off of the operation table, winching in pain. The doctor clapped in delight at the simple movement.

"Excellent, your body is still in working order! I was worried for a moment." James flinched, covering his ears from the pain. His head was pounding as if someone had hit him with a sledgehammer and the doctors loud voice wasn't helping.

"Give me the lowdown doc. Quietly please." James got to his feet and staggered over to the cushioned chair next to the desk, the tools they had used in the surgery still covered in his blood. The pain was great, but his wish to not be sitting in his blood was greater.

"Ok. The full length summary would take quite a while, and I get a feeling from the look your giving me that you don't care anyway. So I'll keep this short."

"At the base of your skull we installed a very complex devise that transmits your brain waves to the computer, making it so that if the devise is turned on you can physically manifest yourself into the desired program."

"In your spine we installed a nerve signal blocking system, so when you are online the actions you do their don't get repeated my your physical body. You get the joke?" James nodded, waving his hand. The list continued. James stopped paying attention to what the gadget was and focused more and more on what they would do. It was easy enough to remember where they all were since they were all near the back of his skull. In essence, it was a bunch of specially built machines that linked to form one extraordinary computer.

The digital thought converter, as the big brains called it, allowed him to get all the sensory information he can get from the real world in the game. Pretty much nerve gear without the helmet. And it ran on the energy his body produced normally too.

"That's all cool and all, but how do I turn it on?" James asked.

"It's thought activated. If there is wi-fi nearby, you can connect to whatever you want. If connection is broken, you should return to your body automatically." The doctor told him excitedly. "Imagine, with this we could start making medical cures for diseases through code, we could bring back function to paralyze bodies, we could get rid of the boarders between countries! We could make a whole new world, isn't that exciting?" James nodded. The pain was starting to die down, making him feel suddenly very tired.

"Shall we test it?" James asked, getting to his feet. The motion didn't hurt as bad as it did last time, so he took it that he was recovering. The doctor nodded vigorously before leading him out of the room.

"Wow." James said as he turned in a circle as they entered another room full of all the gaming equipment he could ever want. It ranged from the newest games of Xbox and PlayStation to the old classic of Nintendo 64.

The speaker over head clicked on, the scientists on the other end of a glass window calling in over their mike. "Choose whatever you want. If this test succeeds, we will continue on to marketing."

James carefully considered his options as if he was choosing his character build. Then the teenage part of him took control and he chose the computer. After a quick download and log in, James booted up his league of legends account and jumped right into a public match. The timer for the match counted down, James so excited he could explode.

BOOM! James went flying backwards as the computer exploded, crashing into the wall and collapsing in pain. That didn't stop him from covering up all the expensive gaming systems when sprinklers turned on and put the fire out. The sprinklers quickly turned off and he stood up, only to get sent flying again as a flash appeared were the computer and sometimes large, soft, and red shot out and hit him in the chest.

"Ahhahahaowwwww!" James cried out, his eyes tearing up with pain. Why did he ever compete in that contest if it hurt this bad? He reached up to massage the back of his head, only to stop when he didn't find the scars from his recent surgery. "Wha..." He broke off as he finally looked down. There, laying down on top of his beaten body, was an unconscious woman with fox ears and nine tails.

"Ahri?"

Hey guys, thanks for clicking on whatever link brought you to my story. I decided I wanted to play around with this idea off of a whim, so if I get some support I will continue on with it. Please comment below on what you thought, I will probably have a new chapter up by the end of the week.
