Welcome to the game
I stared at the text box that floated in front of my vision, briefly, I wondered if I'm going crazy

' I must be going crazy,' was the first thought to ripple through my mind.
Strangely enough, I was not disturbed by the weird floating text box that appeared in my field of vision.
Curiously I glanced at my sister who was seated next to me. "are you seeing this?" I asked with no small amount of disbelief. "the only thing I see is someone who's going to be late for school if you don't leave! now shoo! get going before you wake the other children." She snapped as she tossed my school bag at me.
Exiting our Pondok I quickly searched for any strangers walking within earshot, finding none I decided to errm converse with the text boxes.
"Hi! My name is Mazwi Madiba, what are you exactly?"
I'm the game'
'okay that wasn't helpful at all,' I thought

'well that isn't peculiar at all,' I thought as I looked at my status screen, I had nothing under the skills list and the inventory, a space used for storage? was empty. I signed as I massaged my head, I cannot deal with this right now I decided. how do I make this go away? 'begone? Disappear? Dismiss'
I let out a relieved breath as whatever that was went away
'time for 10 hours of school'
16:20
only twenty minutes left until I leave hell *cough* I mean school as if my day wasn't strange enough the date today was July 4, 2010! So not only was I going crazy but I was also stuck in the past which was crazy because I was still 13 if was truly in past I should be 8! I leaned over to the person next to me, "hey max you doing anything after school? I have to tell you something that happened this morning, it was freaky."
"Can't man I have to pick up my sister from the creche, mom is working late maybe next time?" signing in disappointment I let him go as the bell rang, determined to discover just what this gamer is I headed to the nearest park which thankfully was abandoned.
'gamer you still there?' Silence, groaning I brought up the status screen again, my eyes were immediately drawn to homo magi. This makes no sense homo magi are fictional beings born with the ability to cast spells using their magic or in other cases, tomes, artifacts, or items are used to double the amount of magic they possess.
'If that's the case then..' I closed my eyes as I concentrated on trying to find... something inside me. Until I found a spark? that's how I could explain it as soon as I found it I felt a wave of energy flowing through me, grinning I opened my eyes to see new floating texts awaiting me

I whistled a tune as I entered the house, full of vigor and energy.
"Hello family," My mother was instantly upon me,
"Where have you been? it's late!" sheepishly I rubbed the back of my head,
"I had too much homework so I decided to stay late at school and finish it,"
"Dish up and eat, there's not much left anyway." She commanded
I happily served myself food, I crammed myself in between my mother and sister on the sofa in front of the TV and started plotting what I could do with all this power. I might be the most powerful men eeerm boy in the world I could-
