Fyr3Flyt3: Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Chapter 4 of Gamer Blue. I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 4: A Grand New World
"Hey Tori?"
"Yes?"
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"Where am I?" This was question that had been bugging me since I met Tori. Tori is obviously a human, or at very least human-like, so that means that there should be other humans or what she(?) was. That's another thing that's bothering me, I still don't know if Tori's a girl or not, I would assume yes, but we know what assuming does. But back to the human thing, that means that I'm either on Earth in a different dimension or an Earth-like planet out in the universe that has human-like residents.
Tori gave me a look like "Are you stupid or something?" "The Moonway Forest, ya silly."
Okay, going to have be more specific. "No, I meant what would you call the place Moonway Forest is located on?"
"An island?" Island, good to know.
"No, I mean where would Moonway Forest be located if we where to look at a map."
" Lumas Island." Lumas? Moonway? Sensing a moon theme here.
"And Lumas Island is where?"
Tori was getting a little confused at this point, asking "In the ocean?"
"And the ocean iiiiiiisssss?"
"On Earth."
.
.
.
"You know I'm not sure why I expected any other answer. Carry on leading."
"Okaaaaayyy." Tori turned around and began skipping down the path again.
Well. I guess that just means I'm on some alternate version of Earth. Kinda disappointed to be honest. Was really hoping for space travel and intragalactic colonization.

Holy shit. Guess fighting those wolves leveled me up. Time for a power up.

Good to see that my max health and mana went up, especially since I now know how to use my mana. Hmmm. Why do I know how to use mana?
Oh, well, question for later.
Now, what to pick, what to pick? I would like to up my strength and up my damage output, but seeing as it's been 20 minutes and I'm at 68/120 health, Vitality might be the way to go. Maybe Dexterity too. My dodging and reaction times were kind of shite.
With that, I dumped three points into VIT and two into DEX. Admittedly, I did feel a bit more invigorated and seemed just a tad hit slower. I love this power.
"Hey, hurry up slowpoke, we're almost to town." I looked up at Tori, who now stood on a small hill in front of me.
"Yeah, I'm coming, I'm coming, ya little sh-" Wow. Fucking astounding.
Now when Tori said that we would be heading for town on the island, I pictured a quaint little hamlet, not a bustling city. People flooded the streets, moving about in a central marketplace. Ambient music (not the style of music) rung throughout roads. Boats rocked in the port, fisherman bringing in their day's catch. The town stretched for a couple miles or so in every direction, slowly fading out into countryside
"Uh, Tori, what's all this?"
"Whatda you mean?"
I looked over at her (Mental Note: Observe how others refer to her/him) "You said that we were heading for town. This", I pointed out at the town, "is not a town."
"Well, it's called Celstia Town, so it's the town, now come on, I wanna get home for lunch." And with that, the little girl(?) skipped away down the path towards the town, with me trying to keep up with her without using [Tiger Leap].
25 Minutes Later
"Was it really *breath* necessary *breath* to run *breath* the whole way?" Tori had skipped all the way through the 'town' and into the countryside. Now we stood in front of a small cottage with fields filled with cows behind it. Smoke rose up from the chimney, meaning someone is home.
"If I didn't, it woulda been dark when we got here". She shivered as she said the word dark. Obviously someone's not a fan of nighttime darkness. "Now come one, I can smell Papa's cooking from out here."
*sniff-sniff* I could smell something nice from out here. Tori ran for the door, charging right through it yelling, "Papa, I brought home a friend!"
If this was an anime, I would've sweat dropped just now. Hypothetical anime physics aside, I walked in through the now open door. The house was very simple, a large main room with some furniture, a few closed doors I presumed led to bedrooms and a doorless doorway where Tori stood jumping up and down, holding someone's hand.
"C'mon, Papa, I want you to meet my new friend."
"Okay, Okay, don't pull ma arm off." Tori pulled in a middl-ish aged man wish shirt brown hair dressed in simple blue shirt and khaki shorts. He looked at me and I could see he had the same hazel colored eyes as Tori. He study me for a moment, probably wondering why Tori dragged a 15 year old in torn up clothes into his house, before smiling warmly.
"Hi," he reached out his hand for a shake, "I'm Ao Jei, but must people just call me Jei." Ao. Meaning the color blue in Japanese if I remember correctly. Noted.
"Nice to meet you, name's Dante." I said as shook his hand. Jei motioned for me to come into the kitchen. I walked in with Tori bouncing in behind me, the smell of barbecued meat wafting right into my face. My stomach growled loudly, which made me realize that I hadn't eaten all day.
Jei simply laughed as he laid out three plates and began putting on strips of barbecued meat on them. "Here," he put the plates on a small table in the center of the room, "you sound hungry."
"Oh, uh, thanks." I sat down and began eating. And by eating, I mean I began shoving the meat down my throat.
.
.
Okay, that sounded way better in my head.
Anywho, I could tell Tori and Jei were staring at me, but you don't eat for about 13 hours and tell me you had fucking table manners. After a minute of devouring the meat (Really need to work on my phrasing), I apologized to Jei for my manners.
"Oh, it's no problem. Trust me, Tori is much worse about her manners." Her? Her! Yes! Finally some conformation. Little girl's more androgynous than kid Crocodile.
"Papa!"
"Well, it's true." At that, I couldn't help but laugh, mostly at the adorable little pout Tori was doing, her cheeks all puffed out.
"So, Dante, what brings you into my home?"
"I was wondering when you were going to ask that. You see-"
"He was attacked by wolves in the forest! And he was all beat up when I found him, so I saved him with my sandwich and brought him here." Jei looked me, eyebrows raised, as if asking if Tori's succinct, and accurate, summary of our meeting was true.
"Yep. That's about it in a nutshell. That and I have nowhere else to go."
"Why's that?"
Hmm, how to put this. 'Oh, I'm from a different, and apparently shittier, version of your Earth.' I tell him that and he might call the nice men in white to come take me to the padded fun camp.
"I'm not from around here."
"Ahhh, so you're a traveler."
"You could say that."
"Yeah, Celstia Town gets tons of travelers and merchants since we're in prime location for sea travel." Sea travel? So, no planes, just boats. I can live with that.
Then Tori jumped in, "So where are you from?"
"Ummmmm, well, I don't really know where I am, so where I'm from a bit hard to explain."
"Well maybe I can help with that, I am a cartographer." Jei got up and went over to one of the drawers and pulled out a crinkly old map. He splayed it out on the table. It looked like an old fashioned map, made by hand with a pen. He began by pointing at the northern end of the map. "So, are you from up north or out west, or are you from a different Blue."
Blue.
Blue.
BLUE.
I'm sorry, what? He cannot mean what I think he means.
"I'm sorry, what do you mean by Blue?" Jei gave me a very confused look.
"You know, the 4 Blues, North, West, South, and East, the one we're in right now."
Sweet Sassafrasing Sugar Cubes, I'm in the East Blue.
Home to the Gol D. Roger, Portagas D. Ace, Sabo, Nami, the swordsman Roronoa Zoro, the Great God Ussop, and future Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy.
My God, I'm in the world of One Piece.
Bitchin'
Fyr3Flyt3: Oh, boy. I owe every one of you an apology. 3 months of not single chapter. I'm the worst. Life's just been Hell lately. But now, I'm hoping to get back to writing again, so sorry for that hiatus. I'm surprised I didn't get a message or some about. Either y'all are really nice or you don't care as much as I think you do. I'll pretend it's the first.
Anyway, Dante has finally figured out what gender Tori is. Also the One Piece world thing. The story will start picking up about now, but don't expect any familiar faces for a while longer.
Next Chapter, I will start putting Dante's Stats and Skills at the end of the chapter if he doesn't check them both during the chapter.
Also, this chapter is the start of what I like to call the Blue Verse Arc.
Now for reviews:
gamerlover41592:
This has potential
Fyr3Flyt3: And I shall try to live, uhh, write up to it.
Alucard-Masters:
...awesome...this will be the second of this particular crossover/self-insert that i read and from what i've seen from the first chapter it may just be better than the first one i read. thus i shall continue on with a smile a mile wide awaiting the chaos that is sure to ensue!
ya know. i myself would totally go thorugh all the weapons until i found a pair of scythes. why? cus by the point i'll truely need to use em i'll be able to modify them into something similar to what ruby rose or margret moonlight uses
gah! three chapters is nowhere near enough for someone like me to read X_X i seriously can't wait for more! its an interesting story that manages to keep the attention of the reader and flows brilliantly! a grand story my friend!
Fyr3Flyt3: Aw, shucks, I'm glad that you liked it. I'm still honestly surprised that people like this story so much. I'll try my hardest not to let y'all down.
Now for a Small preview of next chapter, Mirror Moon:
"Oh shit, that would bad."
Until next time, bye!
Fun Note: I found another person doing a The Gmaer Self-insert called Gamer Blues. I didn't bother to read it, but when I glanced at it it looked cool, so maybe check it, idonknow. This does however prove though that the title of this story is great. Right?
