Harry woke up with a start and stared at the transparent blue box hovering above him. It was slightly above his center of his field a view.
You have slept in your bed. HP/MP fully restored.
Swipe either way to dispel this box.
"What?" Harry felt a weight on his chest. It was a book. He looked back up to the box and drew his finger across it. It slide briefly before vanishing.
Welcome to the Gamer's Life
You now have the Gamer Abilities.
Would you like to begin the tutorial?
Press your selection.
Yes/No
Harry was unsure if this was a hallucination, as he hadn't been outside of his cupboard in a few days. He shrugged and pressed Yes.
Text appeared on the pages of books. A pen appeared connected to the book.
Say Status and write down what information is given.
Boxes appeared under the text.
"Status." Harry whispered.
A blue box similar to the first appeared.

Harry quickly filled the boxes in. Once he was done the pen vanished.

You also have an title that grants some boosts in stats.
Titles are earned can provide stat boosts. Some are general stat boost while others may boost your stats against certain enemies or while doing certain tasks.
Suggested stat point distribution, Intelligence, Dexterity and Wisdom.
You may also save your points to distribute however you wish.
Harry looked at the book and then again at the screen. He poked the word Strength too see if anything would happen.
Strength: Bodily ability, Able to lift objects.
"Oh." Harry said before poking the rest.
Dexterity: Ability to move quickly and to dodge.
Constitution: How much health you have and how your immune system responds
Intelligence: Ability to pick up new skills and solve puzzles
Wisdom: Ability to make rational decisions and perceptiveness.

Harry nodded in understanding and the text moved on.
The first skill you will learn is Observe. Look at an object and say "Observe".
Harry looked at the spider in the corner. It was the biggest he had seen. "Observe."
Cardinal Spider (Tegenaria parietina)
HP: 10/10
MP: 0/0
The largest spider in the UK growing up to 14 cm. Though they are scary they are harmless.
"Huh, didn't know that." Harry jumped as he heard his aunt come down the stairs. He hid the book and swiped away the screen.
"Boy, your time is up. Make breakfast for us." She pulled the door open.
Make breakfast for you relatives in 20 minutes
Success: 20 xp
Fail: 5 xp and a beating.
Accept
Yes/No
Harry pushed yes. He had no choice in the matter, might as well get something out of it.
A timer appeared in the corner of his vision.
He quickly started on it. As the bacon and eggs were sizzling a box popped up.
Skill Created: Cooking
Welcome to Quests
You have accepted you first quest.
These are various tasks and objectives that you can perform.
Some are main quests that you cannot reject while others are optional side quests.
Harry flipped the eggs and put the toast into the toaster.
This is one way to get xp or experience points. Other ways are to perform tasks and to defeat enemies.
Harry swiped the boxes away, looked at the eggs and muttered. "Observe."
Fried Eggs
Tasty eggs that have been fried in a pan
+10 HP
Harry shook his head. This was so weird. He slid the eggs and bacon onto three plates. He doubted he would get anything from them.
When the toast popped up Harry took the Dursley's breakfast out to them.
Quest success!
20 xp gained.
Level up!
+2 Points earned.
Harry nodded as his uncle told him his chores for the day.
Harry started on them immediately.
Complete your chores!
Success: 20 xp, small dinner
Fail: 10 xp, no dinner
Skill created: Cleaning
Harry went through his day. Each time he started a new task, the same "Skill created" box would pop up and fade after a few seconds.
He would also get a very small amount of xp for each task. No more than 5 xp but when he figured out the math he would get at most 100 xp for the day.
Harry would also use Observe on everything and was pleasantly surprised when it leveled up.
Quest success
20 xp earned
Small Dinner earned
Harry frowned as his aunt called for him to make dinner.
"You can have some of the scraps." She said coldly.
Harry nodded before getting to work.
Once Harry was safely in his cupboard for the night he pulled the book back out. The text was different.
You now have an inventory where you can place objects. Say Item Screen.
"Item Screen." Harry was surprised when a box popped up with 28 smaller boxes in it.
This is your inventory. You can hold up to 28 items at a time though each item stacks up to 9999 times.
This also displays your equipment screen.
Harry saw small pictures in the equipment screen. His ratty t-shirt, pants and shoes looked even worse.
To use your inventory you can push any item into the screen.
Harry grabbed one of the few toys he had gotten over the years and pushed it into the box. The toy vanished and a small picture of the toy appeared in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
To equip a wearable item put it into the correct slot in the equipment screen.
Harry looked around for something else to wear. He found a slightly newer shirt and placed it onto the chest area of the person on the screen.
His old shirt transferred to his inventory while his new one appeared on him.
"Cool." Harry grinned. "What happens if I…" Harry took the old shirt and put it on the pants area.
Item cannot be worn in that slot.
"Oh." Harry's dreams of taking someone's underwear and wearing on his head were then dashed. He noticed some unusual slots. "What are those?" Harry poked the box near the person's hand. It enlarged the box to show six boxes, one was on the picture's wrist and one on each of the fingers. "I'm guessing bracelets and rings?"
You have completed the tutorial! There is much more to learn and discover!
"Oh, okay." Harry's mind swirled with what he learned. He did not sleep much that night.
So Harry has no memories of the future or of the various builds and he won't until the end of 4th year.
A guest accused me of not letting the story going anywhere because I would get bored and have Harry just switch builds.
And they're mostly right. I'll probably do that.
However, right now I'll be following from what I remember of the books. I haven't read the books in a while but I can easily get them.
I could also watch the movies… I got a box set of all 8 on DVD.
Well, see ya next time!
