Hello everyone once more. Wolfpackersson09 here with another chapter of Ron Stoppable and the Game of Life. This is another semi-filler that will also start off on another quest. I was originally going to have them meet Zita here, but now I'm going to save that with the main dungeon next time. I'm not going to answer Reviews this time, but I will update you on the Harem Poll:

Tara-24
Kim-23
Bonnie-23
Monique-22
Yori-16
Shego-15
Jessica-8
Joss-6
Hope-5
Zita-5
Marcella-3
Crystal-2
Liz-0

Tara has pulled ahead of Kim and Bonnie by a single point, and Monique was slow to start but now is secure in third place. The love seems to be going down with Yori being in third, just above Shego. Poor Liz doesn't seem to be getting any love, or people are thinking one red-head is enough. Well, I hope you continue to enjoy, and look out for a couple of easter egg cameos.

You have rested in your bed.
HP and MP restored, all status abnormalities removed.

"Morning Rufus." Ron woke up and said to his pet. He was getting used to the notices when he woke up, and how quickly they disappeared.

"Morning." Rufus squeaked out as he yawned out and hoped in Ron's pocket, or would as soon as Ron got ready for the day. Ron got ready and Rufus was in his pocket without too much trouble. He needed a semi-normal day, or as normal as his own life can get. He left the house and headed for Kim's to get breakfast there, and then head to school with KP. Of course he then remembered something he should probably do before heading to Kim, in order to make sure that he was suspected of being weirder then normal. He first thought [Menu] to bring open the main menu and selected [Status].

"What to do with these extra points?" Ron thought aloud as he figured out what to do with the five points from the level up with the Boss Fight. He could make himself stronger, maybe impress the ladies more, or he could use the extra agility to get away from foes faster, but he decided that his [Wisdom] and [Faith] stats were a little lacking. He had more physical stats, but he could always use the extra boost in grades from [Wisdom], and he didn't want to have something bad happen to him, so he decided to bring his [Faith] and [Wisdom] up. With the added two for [Wisdom] and the three for [Faith] his stats now looked like this:

After feeling satisfied with his new stats, though a little considered with the fact that most of his stats were at unlucky thirteen, he headed off to meet with his best friend.

The Possible home was a normal place, despite the fact that it housed the smartest family in the world, or at least as far as Ron knew. The patriarch, James T. Possible Sr., was a good natured guy, and Ron saw him reading a newspaper at the breakfast table. Mr. Dr. P, as Ron called the man, had brown hair that was graying out from being around his mid thirties or so, and from dealing with the twin boys, James Possible Jr., also called Jim, and Timothy Possible Jr., better known as Tim. The mentioned twins were running around and looked scarily liked their father, brown hair brown eyes and decent build, but Jim was wearing red and Tim had a good deal of green on.

"Morning Ron, Kim's going to be down in just a minute. That puppet robot attack was completely unexpected." The voice of the matriarch, Anne Possible, said as she had some traditional breakfast going.

"Hello again Ron, you joining us for breakfast?" Mr. Possible asked as he took a sip of coffee while putting the paper down for a bit. If anyone didn't know any better, they would never have guessed that Kim's dad was a well known, if occasionally clumsy, rocket scientist, or her mother being one of the best neurosurgeons in America. Of course her brothers would also be the other off-factor wondering how would the most rambunctious pair of twins, that could hardly sit still for five seconds, could build some of the most amazing gadgets, besides Ron and Kim's mutual friend Wade.

'Now that I think about it, I never did tell Wade what was going on. I don't think he'd believe me anyway.' Ron thought as he did forget with all the craziness going on that was going on. Kim would never believe him unless she actually saw it happen, and Wade wasn't likely to believe him either. The technical member of Team Possible, who was never seen outside of a screen, was a nice guy, but he and Kim were on a similar thought process in terms of certain things. Sure Wade was a bit more open-minded then Kim, but that's beside the point.

"Hey Ron." The girl practically hugged him as soon as she came down, "I'm glad you're alright. Sorry folks, but we've got to get to school, this guy's already missed a day." Kim finished the hug and addressed her parents as she practically dragged Ron out the door in order to make sure they were there on time.

Ron sighed as he wasn't enjoying his day back in school. The reason why was...

"Alright class, your literature teacher has had an emergency so I'm substituting today." Came the voice of the very bane of Ron's existence. Steven Barkin, a well built former military man that's been on Ron's case and back since that one time he gave him a funny look, a look that only occurred once and Ron still wondered if it was in the 2nd or 3rd grade. Ron couldn't even leave class with the rest without Barkin giving him extra homework, and causing him to be late for a different class, which would only add to the trouble he was in. Now that he thought about it, with Barkin teaching, how did he even get this far in school in the first place? He didn't have long to contemplate as a note landed on his desk, and fortunately Barkin's back was turned.

Meet us ASAP after school, behind the Gym.
-Bonnie

Well, that certainly got his attention since Bonnie never really talked to him before, or at all before this whole thing started. He just wondered what was going to happen next.

"Are you paying attention Stoppable!?" Mr. Barkin got Ron out of his trance, and fortunately, for some reason, failed or ignored the note. This was good in Ron's opinion, even if he knew that the next likely thing out of Barkin's mouth was either a detention or extra homework. This is how it was, everyone else got three strikes before anything else, but for Ron it's 'you do extra homework because I say so' with Barkin. Ron just sighed and decided to take what Barkin's going to give him anyway.

While Ron was at school, Veronica Stoppable felt like she had forgotten something yesterday while enjoying her official day off. Even though workers had to repave roads, her work was easily away from the main fight with the [Puppet Master]. But the nagging feeling that she had forgotten something was still there.

'Hmm, what is it that I could've forgotten? I taught them a basic spell, gave them a taste of cooking, and showed them...oh.' She then remembered what she forgot that could've taken the rest of the day to show them, and they really needed to see it so they wouldn't go unprepared into a dungeon, if circumstances forced them to take cover into a dungeon or they went into one willingly. Oh well, she could use some more time with Ron, and today would a good day since they aren't scared out of their minds, even if [Gamer's Mind] prevented them from absolute panic. Now she had forgotten to show them that place and it was going to be necessary. Well, she might as well message Ron to let him know that she'll meet with him and his former party members there. She got out her phone and made sure to message Ron.

Ron wasn't sure what was going on as Bonnie managed to sneak away after cheer practice with the other girls, and Ron was surrounded. Jessica and Tara definitely didn't want to do anything rash, Hope was a bit more apathetic but curious, and Bonnie was the one that had basically shoved Ron towards the back of the wall and interrogated him like a bully. He did his best to answer questions, but he only knew as much as the girls did.

"Alright, so you're one-hundred percent sure that you aren't lying?" Bonnie asked with a glare in her eyes. She had checked out that her race was known for being intimidating or seductive, but part of that was because they had the blood of demons flowing through them and weren't fully demon.

"I'm telling the truth!" The blonde Felpier stated as he did his best to explain, "I only knew that mom was tough, but never enough to take down a monster like that with one blow! If I knew about this semi-genetic power, then I would've told you already or be exploring dungeons." Bonnie seemed pacified as she stepped back from Ron letting him relax a bit.

"Good. Because if you weren't, then you'd probably be saying 'good-bye' to any chances of there being a Ron jr. understand?" Ron nodded nervously with a gulp at the threat. But it still left them with the large question of 'what now?' looming over them. They had an unknown group trying to recruit Bonnie for some unknown reason, a power that lets them live like RPG characters, and the fact that they traveled through sewers to get away from a monster, that was taken down in one blow from Ron's mother. That still left them questioning what to do next with what they know, but that's when Ron's phone went off.

Ron, picking you and your friends/party up after school. There's a place I should've showed you yesterday.
-Mom

Well, it looks like they had more to see and know, but they weren't sure if they wanted more.

"I think we should go, and mainly because we might have a better chance in the future if we see what Mom wants." Ron commented and he was a little excited on what he was going to be shown. Tara definitely agreed whole-heartedly. Jessica was also on board, but that's mainly because she was sort of excited at the prospect of being a hero of some sort. Bonnie was sort of curious on what was going on, but still wasn't quite sure on some things. Hope was the only not sold just yet.

"Why? I think we should just forget what happened and move on with our lives. It's not like that guy is just going to come back right?" Even she noticed that she didn't sound convincing to even herself, and everyone else knew Hope was the most worried about this. Ron just sighed for a bit before answering.

"You don't know my mom like I do. When she wants something she gets it, and no one stops her from getting or doing something that she wants when she really wants something." That sounded more convincing, and they agreed to go. Bonnie just didn't voice the fact that she wanted to check the place out and see what it was like. Hope wondered where her normal high school life went as she had no real choice in this case.

"So, what are we doing here?" Bonnie asked as Veronica took them to a place in Middleton that was out of the way, but still within the nicer areas of town. The kind of place that you're not likely to hang out, but not likely to get attacked by some punks, crooks, or worse.

"Just wait, and you'll see what I mean." The Stoppable matriarch said as she had to explain to Kim that Ron couldn't hang out with her that day. Kim was wondering what was going on, and didn't completely believe Ron's mother on the excuse, which she pulled off with something about a group project to make up for missing school or something along those lines, yet she deigned on the authority of Veronica Stoppable. Veronica looked at the wall for something and then pressed one of the bricks. The wall, like magic, opened up and revealed a hidden town, a town within a town.

"Whoa..." That was the only word that come to mind when Hope saw it, and not just her but everyone else as well. Many different individuals were walking around looking like they were in a steam-punk or science-fantasy world. People dressed like magicians, some carrying swords, and all of them were different races. Some were floating or flying with wings, some looked like they were 12 or 13, but had this air of experience, some with the same of the Felpier, and then there were some that were shorter then the rest by a margin with fur all over their bodies and a tail. Elves, and even normal Humans were talking discussing and shopping around for so many different things.

"Well, welcome to the other side of Middleton. [Gamer's Glamour] won't work here, but there's no need for it to work here anyway, and just so you know, this town is classified as a duneon, but it isn't." Veronica said as she led the group around. They noticed that there were many individuals that seemed to be living here. There were normal shops such as clothing stores, supermarkets, and places that looked normal, but there were also armories that carried weapons and armor as well as an Alchemist shop. The eldest led them to a place called Arc's Armory and entered.

"Welcome to Arc's Armory, I'm Ruby. Oh, Veronica, nice to see you again." Came the cheerful voice of a young woman, who had silver eyes, brown fur all over her body, a feline like tail that fluffed outwards at the tip, a pair of pointed ears, black hair that ended with red tips and a cheerful look in her eyes. Veronica just shook her head with happy nostalgia as she looked at the Dwarf.

"Nice to see you again Ruby, how's your husband?"

"Oh, he's out at the moment, I think I mentioned how I'd like to have some Mythril ore and he took off. I hope he's okay. Anyway, who are the new faces?" Ruby answered and asked as she looked at Ron and the others. They were new to her, and she pretty much knew most, if not all, the faces around town, or at least this side of Middleton.

"Oh, this is my son Ron and his friends, or at least classmates. They're new adventurers so I thought I'd show them around." Ruby blinked at Veronica's question for a bit, and then squealed out a bit.

"Oh, new customers! People come here all the time to buy or upgrade their weapons and armor! I'm Ruby Arc, and I've using the [Blacksmithing] skill for a long time now. Go ahead and look around for any weapon you like. I've got all sorts of weapons made, and I'm sure something will strike your fancy." Ron and the others did check out the store, and one sword caught Ron's eye. It was a mix between a katana and a great-sword, and it looked pretty cool and easy to handle, but then he noticed the price, and the currency.

"Um, what currency is this?" He had to ask since it was in a strange pricing that he never heard of. Ruby looked at him to answer the question.

"Oh, there's a type of currency we get called Yuld, any adventurer that comes in here pays with it. You probably didn't know about the currency conversion, which converts all currency you have into another type of currency, usually Yuld. Just use the [Currency Conversion] in the [Options] sub menu." Ron did just that and noticed that he had amassed about $175 and that turned into 175 Yuld. It worked very closely to the similarity of the penny per point for the Nintendo E-Shop. The sword was 300 Yuld, and he examined it.

Iron Greatblade
Atk-25
A single handed iron blade that was inspired by Auron's Katana. Simple and easy to use for even the most basic of swordsman that use two-handed blades.

"Shoot, I'll have to come back later for it." Ron's ears drooped as he noticed Bonnie looking at some other stuff as well, and she wasn't the only one. They did some window shopping, since they also wanted armor to go with the weapons, and bade goodbye to Ruby, who promised them that their first purchase would be half-off. Ron really wanted that sword, but Bonnie stopped him, reminding him that they would need decent armor to go with the sword, and everyone should pick based on what they preferred.

"Um, is there a store that sells or teaches magic?" Tara asked, and Veronica smiled and took them elsewhere.

Tara gazed at the crystals and rods that were on display at the shop. Weiss' Wonders was the name of the magic shop, and Weiss Schnee was the owner, and founder, despite coming from a long line of magicians herself.

"If you see anything you like, please ask me." The snowy white haired woman spoke as she watched Tara look at the mystical robes and the magic rods, some of which were quite powerful and had magic effects. Then there was the Dust Crystals, magic stones that contained the essences of spells for easy learning. Tara had a discussion while looking around with Weiss asking about magic, learning that a magic skill was created based on the magic itself, and that Dust Crystals were an instant use resource, often filled with offensive powers.

"Now, you have to remember that there's a number of magic types that are usually defined by color." Weiss spoke as Tara listened carefully, with her wanting to know more. Ron and the others also listened as well, interested in the possibility of learning magic to some degree as well, "They are generally referred to as White, Black, Time, Blue, and Summon. All magic can be divided into those categories. White focuses on healing, purification, and support, Black is generally used for offense, but also affects physical things, Time is typically used for support, but it can hurt as well, Blue is derived from certain monster skills, and Summon is the most powerful of all, but the hardest to use." The explanation was vague, but it gave enough for Tara, Ron, and Jessica to try. They figured they would need something to heal with, in case they didn't have potions or such, and they were met with a soothing light that drained some of their magic.

New skill has been created:
[White Magic Lv-1, Ex-0]
Use the power of magic to heal and purify allies from abnormal conditions or injuries. Higher levels means more powerful magic.

[Cure Lv-1, Ex-0]
A basic example of white magic. Heals a small amount of HP or injuries on others.

Bonnie figured that she would wait before creating a spell, since her race seemed to be more natural to [Black Magic] as a skill. They couldn't really buy anything, and figured that they would either need to go back to the sewers to get more money, if the dungeon was still there or not, or they needed to find other ways to get money to get supplied if they could.

"Oh, there's one other reason I wanted to bring you kids here." Veronica got there attention once more and they were curious.

"What the hell happened here!?" Veronica almost shouted as she showed the group a house in the area. It was a fairly basic house, but Veronica was angry for some reason. There was a note on the door that had a bunch of legal jargon that basically said: due to this house having no person living here, it has been deemed open for sale. In addition, it shall be restored to the most basic furnishings until further notice.

"Um, what's wrong?" Ron, as best he could, carefully asked while being used as a human, or rather Felpier, shield in front of the irate older Flepier.

"This house is my house when I lived here! Before I retired from adventuring, and I'm going to let you live here, since it would be yours if you bought it from me or in the event I die. Whoever thought that they could just take my stuff without even asking is going to regret it, especially since I already paid the place off years ago!" There was fire in her eyes and she was ready to pitch a fit and go ballistic on the legal jerks who took someone else's property without any confirmation that it was not owned.

"Okay, so what do we do now?" Bonnie asked still looking at the woman, and Veronica decided on something.

"I'm going to sort this legal mess out and as quickly as possible while you kids take this Yuld and get a hotel room and some dinner. I'm not leaving this area until I get my house back and then some!" She declared and definitely needed something to do, but first... "You'll need this."

Veronica Stoppable has offered you:
[Middleton Adventure Ally] Map Data.
Accept: Y/N

This was shown as they hit the Y option on the window, and a map of the town showed up. It was pretty big, and still hidden from the rest of Middleton.

"What about our parents?" Jessica asked, knowing that her family would be worried if she didn't let them know what was going on, and she didn't want to disappoint them.

"Tell them you were invited to a sleepover, and that you should be back tomorrow. It might take me all day tomorrow, and I didn't want to spend the second to last day of my vacation going through legal red tape for my own property. I'll let my husband know that Ron and I are going to be busy as well. I'll get the appointment fixed at least, and I still have the Deed to this place in my [Inventory]. Just meet me at the Velvet Room, and the map will tell you where everything is, like a search engine." Veronica said before she took off. Ron and the girls shrugged as they started to do as she said, let their families know that they were going to a last-minute sleepover and would be back tomorrow. It was getting late, and they needed to think about things, but for now, they headed to the Velvet Room hotel to check in before doing or trying anything else.
