Mystique Gamer Ch2
4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey February 5, 1991
Why on earth do they hate me so much? Wonders Harry Potter after a beating from his Uncle Vernon when he hears that his teacher's hair has turned blue, although he doesn't even know what happened.
In the dark of his closet, lying on a dirty quilt, with only his thoughts as a distraction to the pain.
Why did my parents leave me here? He knew, of course, that his parents were alive, he sometimes heard his Aunt Petunia complain about how his mother and father abandoned him in front of their door and didn't even ask if she wanted to take care of him.
So for as long as he can remember, he has been treated as a slave, making food for them, which he can only eat sometimes and so he grew up skinny, doing chores like cleaning the house, gardening, etc.
He just wanted to be treated well by his family, with care and love, but he knows this is impossible, after all, when has he ever had anything he wanted?
Just a way to escape, that's all he wanted now.
And with these dreams in his mind he falls into unconscious sleep.
The Day After
Waking up in the darkness of his closet he wonders if his uncle hit him too hard on the head.
HP and MP restored to 100% by sleeping
I think I'm finally going crazy, why the hell would I have a blue screen floating in front of me?
[Welcome, you have been chosen as the bearer of the Gamer System]
[Please say 'Status' to continue]
... What the fuck is going on?
Well, it doesn't hurt to try "Status".
Then a statistics sheet appears in front of him:
Ping!
Name: Harry James Potter
Age: 10
Class: Wizard
Title: The Gamer
Level: 1 [0/100]
HP : 50/50 (100/100) [Regen 2,5 per minute]
MP: 200/200 [Regen 10 per minute]
STR: 5 (2,5)
DEX: 5 (2,5)
VIT: 5 (2,5)
INT: 5
WIS: 5
CHA: 5 (2,5)
LCK: 5
Points: 0
Malnourished: reduces all physical attributes by 50%, can be removed with healthy eating and exercise
HP: VITX20
MP: INTX40
HP Regen: VITSTR/2 per min
MP Regen: WISX2 per min
"Yeah, apparently I've gone crazy, I see illusions as if my life is a game, all that's missing now is my skills..." he stops before completing his sentence because another screen has appeared in front of him.
Ping!
[Skills]
Gamer's Mind(Max): Allows the user to calmly and logically think things through, allows peaceful state of mind, immunity to psychological status effects and attacks.
Gamer's Body(Max): Grants a body that allows for the user to live real life like a game.
Observe: Provides information on target.
Well, i guess Gamer's Mind explains why i'm not top panicked.
What do the atributos mean?
Ping!
STR: physical strength level
DEX: level of agility, physical dexterity, speed, reflexes
VIT: level of stamina, health, endurance
INT: intelligence level, memory, learning ability, mana capacity
WIS: wisdom level, planning, mana regeneration
CHA: level of charisma, appearance, persuasion, seduction and fascination
LUCK: increase reward of loot from dead enemies
So basically if I increase these stats it would make me stronger? This... this could be exactly what I need to escape from here, to live my life freely, but what I don't understand is the MP and the Mage class, does that mean the magic is real? But my uncles told me that... of course, they lied to me, so the MP would be my magical capacity, like fuel to make magic?
Ping! By making a correct deduction you get 1 INT and WIS.
So I guess I am right? Checking my stats I see that I actually increased my INT and WIS by 1 point, I don't feel like I got smarter but I guess I just don't notice any change and I guess an increase of just 1 doesn't change that much.
Maybe I can increase STR, DEX and VIT with physical exercises without applying any points, INT and WIS I think I can increase by studying, planning and anything that involves the use of intellect, CHA I am not sure how to increase but maybe the best way is to dress better, or even physical attributes can impact CHA stats since it is reduced along with STR, DEX and VIT and LCK I think the only way might be by applying points.
Ping! For thinking and planning how to increase your attributes you get 1 INT and WIS.
Sweet.
BUM, BUM
"Boy, get out of there and go make breakfast" said the rough voice of his Uncle Vernon knocking on his closet door.
Ping!
Mission Acquired
Objective: Prepare breakfast for your uncles
Reward: 10XP
Then I can earn xp by receiving missions. That's great, what else I have here to do is quests.
"Yes Uncle Vernon" accepting the mission and coming out of the closet I start thinking of a way to have time to train my stats, the only obstacle being the Dursleys, possibly if I do the tasks faster and am more proactive they can give me some free time? I think my current priority is to get rid of my undernourished state, this could be a problem in the future if it continues like this.
But how will I get food to get rid of my malnourished status? If the Dursleys catch me stealing, I'll get the worst beating of my life, I remember that in games there are compartments to store things, inventory I think is the name, and as soon as I say so, a rectangular screen appears in front of me with small square compartments.
[Inventory]
A feature of the game that allows you to store objects, the capacity of the inventory is 10xLevel.
Current capacity: 0/10
Perfect, with this I can store food without them discovering anything, they spend a lot of food after all, they shouldn't even notice.
Does the inventory keep the food fresh too? I need to test it later.
Starting to cook breakfast which is bacon and eggs full of oil, which is exactly how Vernon and Dudley like it, I hope they die of heart attacks from the things they eat, I hear a notification from the system.
Ping!
Skill unlocked:
Cooking LV(19): Efficiency with which you prepare meals.
Increases the speed of food preparation by 38%
Increases the nutritional efficiency of food by 19%
How convenient, so maybe if I do an action over and over again I can create a skill for it?
Ping! By thinking about and discovering a system resource you get 1 INT and WIS
Sweet.
When I finish cooking, I get another system message.
[Skill Leveled Up: Cooking(Lv20)]
Putting the eggs and bacon on the plates I take them to the kitchen and serve them to the table.
Ping!
Mission completed
Objective: Prepare breakfast for your uncles
Reward: 10XP
Checking my stats I look at the XP bar on my level.
Level: 1 (10/100)
Great, if I keep getting quests like this I can get to level 2 in no time.
Wanting to test one of my skills I use 'Observe' on my uncles:
Petunia Dursley née Evans
Level: 19
HP: 530/530
MP: 0
Thoughts about you - hate, jealousy, disdain
REP - -50
Vernon Dursley
Leve:l 23
HP: 460/460
MP: 0
Thoughts about you - hate, disdain, dislike, fear, disgust
REP - -70
Why does Vernon have less HP than Petunia? I think it must be because of his VIT, with all the fatty food he eats, it could be that his VIT is lower than Aunt Petunia's.
Also, what would REP be?
Ping!
Reputation(REP) is a gauge of the intensity of someone's feelings towards you, the scale is as follows:
-100 Absolute Hate
-75 Anger
-50 Disdain
-25 Annoyed
0 Neutral
25 Friendly
50 Likes
75 Loves
100 Loves absolutely
Well, fuck you guys too.
"Aunt Petunia, can I go do the gardening now and have some free time after I'm done?
She looks at me with disdain and answers "Okay, just don't go wandering around during this time.
Ping!
Mission Acquired
Objective: Do the gardening early so that you have some free time to train.
Reward: 10XP, Free time
"Thank you"'whore' and I leave for the garden to complete the mission.
Karma is a bitch, and it will come down on you with the force of a truck, just wait, when I get stronger, you will eat out of my hand.
Ping!
Mission Acquired
Objective: Get stronger and make the Dursleys submit to you
Reward: 10000XP, Obedience of the Dursleys
Obedience(OBE) is a gauge of how much people are willing to follow your words.
Well, well, that will be very interesting
1 hour later
Ping! For putting effort into gardening you get 2 STR and VIT
Apparently I was right, if I push myself physically, my physical attributes go up, and I believe that the higher the statistic is, the harder it will be to increase the attribute through training.
Ping! By a correct deduction you get 1 INT and WIS
Well, I guess that confirms it.
Going into the house after finishing with the garden I'll talk to my aunt.
"Aunt Petunia, I have finished with the garden" I said
She nods disdainfully "Well, you can go loafing or whatever, just don't irritate me and don't set anything on fire.
Bitch, but... fire eh, since apparently I have magic it gives me some ideas.
"Thank you Aunt Petunia" really, thanks for the idea.
Ping!
Mission completed
Objective: Do the gardening early so that you have some free time to train.
Reward: 10XP, Free time
I go to my closet and pull out some food there that I put in my inventory while making breakfast when the Dursleys weren't looking.
Finishing eating, I start thinking about the idea Aunt Petunia gave me, making fire...who wouldn't want to do something so cool? But I don't think I should try to do something like that now, I can't even feel any magic in me, much less use it to create fire, I know I have magic only because of the system.
How would I manipulate my magic? Well first I have to feel it, maybe if I meditate? I heard that some people meditate to expand their senses, maybe that will help me feel my magic?
Trying to get comfortable in my closet, I close my eyes and try to feel something, people say that by clouding one of your senses you enhance the others, in the middle of the darkness that I see with my eyes closed I try to feel something, anything, I focus on my heart rate, my body temperature, calming my mind, I start to feel something, I don't know exactly what it is but... it's warm and comforting.
A feeling long forgotten, but I still remember it, like a hug or a kiss on the forehead, it is just a wave of very pleasant euphoria, hearing a notification from the system I open my eyes to see my new achievement.
Ping!
New skill unlocked
Meditation(Lv3)50MP/min: Enters a meditative state where it expands your senses while calming them
Passively increases INT and WIS by 1.5%.
Smiling from ear to ear I dispatch the notification.
Checking my PM I start thinking.
MP: 78/360
So meditating uses MP? Well, I don't use MP on anything else for now and I think the more the meditation skill levels up, less MP it should cost.
And maybe from a certain skill level I can feel my magic even better so that I can manipulate my magic, like moving it through my body, to other limbs and so on, a long way until I actually do magic, but I still get there.
Going outside the house I start to exercise, push-ups, sit-ups, and run around the neighborhood, while running I can feel myself running out of energy, my physical stats are very poor, I get tired very easily, but if I do this every day it can get easier, I can wake up very early every day so I can start exercising before the Dursleys wake up, so I don't have any problems.
After a while I see that some time has passed and when I get home I look at the notifications that I was ignoring while running with my ramblings.
Ping! For physically pushing yourself you get 2 STR and VIT, 3 DEX.
I can feel now, even if it is very small, an increase in my energy, and I can feel that I have grown a few muscles too, although I am still very lean.
And I feel that I have grown too, I was around 3'9 now I think I am at 4 or 4'1.
I am sure that growing like this is not normal, maybe the system boosts my progress?
Not that I am complaining, I hate being short.
Ping! For getting physically fitter (even if it's almost nothing) you get 1 CHA
Twitching my right eye I think the system might be mocking me, I sigh, it's not wrong though.
Upon entering the house I start preparing the Durleys' lunch with great glee making the food just the way they like it, greasy, still with my hopes of them dropping dead from heart failure.
After I finish cooking lunch and eat my visibly small portion, I start to do the chores that Aunt Petunia tells me to do.
At the end of the day I have gained 50 XP.
At night, when the Dursleys are sleeping I go in with a plan in mind to hold on to the kitchen and fill my inventory without it being apparent that I have taken anything.
Walking quietly through the house without trying to make too much noise I almost jump at the system notification.
Ping!
New skill unlocked
Sneak(Lv1) Allows you to sneak and go unnoticed
Reduces the chance of getting caught by 2.5%
Useful.
When I get to the kitchen I stock up on food in the 10 slots of my inventory and go back to my closet.
Well, I believe that if I make this to eat properly every day, in a short time I can remove the state of malnutrition.
For now I will keep my relationship with the Dursleys as it is so that they don't suspect anything, but as soon as I get strong enough, I will subdue the Dursleys and make them pay for the hell they put me through.
Not that I am mean for that, it is just paying the same coin, they mistreated me, so they should get the same in double, I don't want to be like them, hurt someone just because I can, but on the contrary, what I want is for them to suffer the consequences for what they did.
Well, plans for the future, as I finish eating one of the foods I picked up, I lay on my quilt thinking that maybe, after all I can live my life well, I just need to be patient.
N: Well, I can really have fun writing this story, by the way, I will concentrate more on Harry exploring his powers, both as a wizard and a gamer, his relationships with other people and in the future maybe politics, because I want him to change the world, but wizards live in the middle ages so they don't like change, he will want to change things by politics and not by brute force, because otherwise he would just be seen as any other bad person, he will need to change the system from the inside.
And many may think it is abnormal for a 10 tear old to have such colorful thoughts, but well, kids in his situation kind of grow up faster mentally, that's my excuse.
