Ch2: Talk with inner beast.
Sleep is a respite from living. Living through dreams which can not bring any consequences to real life is a beauty. No other person can see or feel to be able to judge us. Each dream differs from other. Sometimes little nightmares makes us act a little desperate. Other times we find ourselves in creative situations which we may not think of on a regular day. And then wake up to start a day - fresh and new.
I love sleeping. I love being lazy. Though I try to not let people know about it. But now, whenever I try to sleep as Gaara -
WARNING: If Gamer sleeps, sealed beast would try to possess the body.
appears before me.
Having a sealed beast inside of me is as discomfiting as how disorienting it is for me to be in a body that is not my own. And it doesn't just stop there. I shift back to other body for 24 hrs and then return back. I had always been slow to uptake. In unfamiliar situations, I am like a deer before headlights. And with this constant changes, it be a long time before I am comfortable with this situation. But thankfully Gamer Mind skill is allowing me to grow through this life and work on the mini quests both as Harry and Gaara.
The feature of Gamer power that I am making much use is inventory. And what do I store in inventory that is of monumental help to me? Well it's food. As Gaara, food is provided to me without any problems. Though after my insertion into this world, I did demand for more food. Then I would smuggle about one-fourth of the portion into inventory and eat that when I am Harry. I would have to say Gaara or it might be jinchuurikis eat much more than normal people. In anime, Naruto did eat lot of ramen. Though I don't remember any filler episode of Gaara showing special interest in food. But by comparing the food I eat as Gaara and as Harry, I can tell Gaara eats about thrice the amount of Harry. But as Gaara, I also have daily shinobi training regime.
Do my gamer power allow me live without food. I don't know. I didn't check, nor do I want to. But can I live without sleep? It seems I can. But personally, I want to sleep. At least I can sleep as Harry is allowing me to have little peace of mind.
I did also conclude that gamer mind is successfully protecting my mind from evil influence of both the Shukaku and Voldy's soul piece. Of course, there is Mother's Protection blessing I have that protects me physically and mentally as Gaara and Harry, respectively. But I don't want to depend upon them. In fact, I want to talk with Shukaku about the truth. And how Akatsuki will try to collect all of us - either the jinchuurikis or free tailed beast- to make Juubi. But I also distinctly remember that, Ichibi was considered a little childish. Not only that, Shukaku had been imprisoned by Sand for more than a century. I do hope Gamer skill can protect me from any mental assaults. But then again, first I have to succeed in meeting the Beast itself. Though I haven't entered the mindscape yet, my related skill is quickly growing. I do get a feeling that jinchuurikis are faster to learn to enter mindscape than others.
