Some comments: This is NOT a fic where Harry's life IS a game! This is a fic where Harry can learn, devlop and quantify his abilities like a Game character. There is NO 1) Gamer's Body 2) Gamer's Mind etc. As such, there is no "character creation"; the base stats are determined by birth and what he can develop are skills and perks.
Harry waited till Dinner was over and the matron left to her room. This was the time where most of the kids were left to their devices and thus the stronger ones would beat up or otherwise lord over the weaker and smaller kids. Well, tonight, he was going to show them who was really strong.
He confidently walked into the center of the common room and shouted to grab the attention of the other kids "Hey suckers, I think it is time you start worshiping me.". Naturally, his shout was met with laughter and scorn. Norris was one of the "big dogs" of St. Mary's. He was just 14, but he was over 1.7m tall and quite huge. His tag read "Norris, Mugle lvl 8, 480 HP". The other kids often whispered that he even had dealings with the local crime gang "The Al Capones". Norris started walking towards harry, cracking his own knuckles. "Look what we have here boys.. it's a joker!". The rest of the boys laughed, some nervously in fear of offending Norris and some others waiting eagerly to see how Norris would deal with that little brat.
Norris was amused and as such asked "So, little Hairy hairy fugly Potter thinks he can say something like that to my face? Well, I think it is time I taught you some manners brat. Haven't had a chance to beat you up for quite a long time.. now that I think about it."
Harry smirked "You know Norris, for the last two years I have trained my ass off for this day; this day when I show you why I am superior to you in every single way.". Norris: "You are starting to annoy me you little piece of shit. You trained? Ha what are you talking about? Do you think this is some kind of cartoon where you train and become stronger even though you are such a tiny little worm? This is life! Maybe if you had a gun, I would be scared, but I don't see anything on you, so prepare for some pain!". The other kids were waiting eagerly for the beatdown that was sure to follow. Some of the younger and weaker kids were thankful to Harry for pulling the attention of Norris, that meant they would not get beaten up tonight.
Norris slowly walked towards Harry in a menacing fashion and asked "Any last words?". Harry replied as if without a care "Have you seen Star Wars Norris?". Norris: "Star wars? Are you trying to distract me with movies? Fuck you, I am gonna just beat the fuck out of you now." Harry: "No no dear Norris, you see all I wanted to demonstrate to you, was my mastery of the force." Norris started laughing "Oh boy, this kid is really insane. Doesn't matter get wrecked bitch". Norris lunged at Harry throwing a punch. Harry threw his hand out in an imitation of the Darth Vader (his favorite character) and Norris was instantly knocked back and he flew and crashed into the wall as well as some other kids who were standing behind him. Wandless magic used for 120MP, Norris takes 100 HP damage and is stunned.
If one dropped a pin, it's sound would be heard in the silence that ensued. No one was really sure what happened. Did Harry just punch him back? Some of them were sure there was no contact between Harry and Norris. So what happened? They just could not comprehend what they saw. One kid started screaming. Of course, this was normal and the matron had long since sound proofed her own room. She didn't give a rat's ass about who bullied whom. All she wanted was to get her payment from the government.
Harry walked towards Norris and demanded "Hey Norris, is that all you weak clown?". The crowd gasped. Norris slowly opened his eyes "You.. bastard! I don't know what trick you used but I will make you pay!". He growled out the last word and dashed towards Harry. Harry simply made a choking gesture with his hand. Suddenly, Norris stopped his dash and started clutching his throat. "Now do you see why I am going to be your new boss?". Norris couldn't breathe, after about 30s of gasping he fell down unconscious. Harry could have killed him off with a bit more pressure but he had plans for Norris. 200MP used, Norris takes 350 HP damage and is KO. There was once again absolute silence in the room. Harry broke it "So, any one else want a piece of me? How about you Charlie? Or you Mr. I kick ass Davis?". Another kid Joe (Muggle lvl 7, 400 HP), from behind Harry, rushed him screaming "Aarggh you little punk, I am not scared of you. I will just kill you." He lunged for Harry with his switchblade knife preparing to kill the freak in front of him. Harry almost negligently waved his hand and Joe was sent flying into the cieling where his head made a big crash. Levitating the knife he held, Harry sent it flying at Joe's throat. 300 MP used, 200 HP Crush damage and 200 HP critical stab, Joe has been killed. At this point some were too shocked to do anything. Other kids were screaming till Harry shouted "Shut the fuck up! The next one to scream will be the next to die!". That resulted in another period of silence. "Now, listen up. From now on, I am your boss. You will obey everything I say. If you fail to listen to me. I will end your lifes no matter where you hide. My power let me kill you from wherever I want, whenever I want, got it?". Of course, he was bluffing, but not like they knew what his powers could do. For all they knew, he was just using the "Force" from Star Wars.
He asked one of the kids to wake up Norris. The other kid ran to do his bidding and got some water and poured it on Norris. He certainly did not want to piss off that force wielding monster. Norris woke up "Ugh.. what the fuck? Did I have a nightmare?.". "No no Norris, the nightmare has just begun. Now I will need your help in disposing off that body" Harry drawled out. Norris was confused "What body and... holy shit. You killed him? You tried to kill me! What are you?". Harry laughed.. a chilling laugh that send shivers down the spines of almost every kid there. "I am your worst nightmare. Now look into my eyes Norris." "100MP, Legimancy activated, reading thoughts." Harry was delighted at all the information he found. "Oh Norris, I know all your secrets. I know how you killed that old lady the last week for the Al Capones. I know they paid you 200£ for it. I know you think you have the money safely stashed in your toilet sink. I know your dreams of making it into the music industry and become a pop god like that prick Justin Beiber. I know you raped Susie from St. Alberts school. So you see, you can't hide anything from me and you don't want me telling the authorites of what you have done."
Norris became pale "How.. who told you? I have never told anyone of my dream .. you bastard what have you done?". "I told you, I am special. You are all beneath me and if you hope to live, follow me. I will help you achieve your dreams as long as you stay loyal to me. You have seen what I can do. I will take over the Capones! I will show them how to fear me. My powers are unstoppable.". Norris had a lot of pride, but he was not stupid like Joe. He realized that if he had to live, he better obey Harry ... for now at least. "Alright, you have shown to be strong enough for me to respect you. I will listen to you if you promise to get me what I want." Harry shook his head "No Norris, this is not a negotiation. This is a take over. If I feel generous, I will think about getting you something, otherwise I will just end you. You are not irreplaceable, just a tiny bit valuable. So, as a first task, get rid of Joe's body. Just looking at his ugly mug is making me angry. And you don't want me angry.. do you? Oh and this applies to all of you runts here! Help Norris with his task. From now on, I will sleep alone in the big bedroom. Disturb me, and you will pay with your life. GET IT?". Silence. "I will ask once again. If I hear no reply I am going to slaughter you all. GET IT?". "YES SIR" shouted all the other kids including Norris. "Then go! I am going for my beauty nap. And if you think you can hurt me in my sleep.. think again. My powers will automatically kill anyone who even opens the door to my new room".
Harry retired for the night into his room. He was not really scared of them revealing his powers. Nobody would believe them anyway. He was happy things went off according to plan. He really could not have killed them all if they tried to attack him altogether. He just had just 500MP left and if they had turned on him he would have to run away, but as he expected, humans were weak willed and selfish. If they had all tried to take him down, one of them might have died but the rest would have been able to get to him and possibly kill him. However, each of them were just trying to save their own skins and did nothing to help Joe or Norris.
As a result of your recent actions you have been awarded -10 to Alignment. Constant use of wandless magic on live opponents has led to Wandless +9. Level up! Pick a perk.
'Wow! That's almost the same level ups I got after half a year of practice. In guess using it on those muggles and maybe killing Joe really got me more skill exp. Now to chose an awesome perk! Let me see AVAILABLE PERKS'.
Telekinetic 0/5 or Pyrokinetic 0/5 or Electrokinetic progidy 0/5 (PL/5): Req. Accidental Magic 5/5 AND Wandless 40+10PL. Improved strength when using telekinesis (or pyrokinese/electrokinesis resp.) by factor of 80 PL%
Occlumens 1/5 (PL/5): req. wandless 10, Will 8. Improves resistance to mind reading by 5 per PL. At lvl 4/5 can construct fake thoughts/memories and thereby lie under truth potions.
Legimens 1/5 (PL/5): req. wandless 40, Will 10. Can perform eye contact based mind reading as if it was a spell with DC of PL*2. Using a wand improves the DC to 10+ PL*2.
Sneak 1/5 (PL/5):Req. Stealth 10PL. Reduces noise while sneaking. Improves sneak run speed. At PL=1, can sneak silently by moving very slowly (20% speed). At PL=5 can sneak at normal walk speed.
Magical sneak 1/5 (PL/5): Req Sneak PL. At PL=1, can sneak to avoid detection by smell, higher PLs reduce your magical "presence". PL=5 can sneak to be invisible to magical eyes. (Of course, if you are visible/in sight sneak is useless, but with an invisibility cloak you become invisible).
Sneaky spells (PL/5): Req Magical Sneak PL. Casting silent spells while sneaking blurs the spell making detection of spell origin harder. Of course, the target & allies are alerted and they can attack in your direction, but they can't pinpoint your location. (a wide area spell can still hit you.)
'Considering my main source of all magic damage and control was telekinetic attacks and considering how much they cost, I should certainly get stronger with that. Pyrokinesis seems cool too, but fire can just kill and what I want to do is intimidate and control. Sneaky spell would be usefull maybe later when I finally discover where to get a wand and cast stuff. So I will go for PICK TELEKINTEIC PRODIGY perk and FULL STATS'

Satisfied with his progress, Harry used some magic to create an "alarm ward" on his room for 100 MP. This would shock him awake if anyone attempted to enter his room. This was another skill that he had been practicing for the last year and was crucial to his takeover plans. After all, if he was killed while sleeping, it would be literally "GAME OVER" for him. The next few days would be interesting and he would test his abilities against the real world and the gang of Al Capone!
