"Pink's" POV
My eyes open to find a white roof with a dark wooden outline looking back. After a few moments of just staring, wondering what the fuck just happened, I realize i'm laying down on something, it feels soft, so my assumption is it's a bed. I get up, always staying alert in case someone or something appears. Looking around, I notice him laying in the bed as well, still unconscious. The one I must always protect, no matter what it costs me, or him. He...gets upset with me a lot nowadays...I wish things could be like they were in the years after my creation...
Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, and to better focus on the here and now. I notice we are in what appears to be a normal bedroom, though strangely...familiar. Looking ahead, I can see a desk in front of the bed with a chair and what appears to be a desktop computer, though before i can analyze more, a light blue screen, similar to the one from earlier, appears in front of me.
Welcome to The Gamer.
Would you like to start the Tutorial?
YES. no.
Looking back to my creator, I can tell he's out like a light, I might as well learn as much as i can about this...new circumstance...before it can bring harm. Besides, it's not like i have anything better to do with my life right now.
I press the "Yes" button, causing the screen to dissapear out of existance and be replaced with a new screen, this one light blue on TARDIS blue.
New Quest Acquired: New Game Plus (At that, I raise a curious eyebrow, knowing full well what it means.)
Objective: Complete the Tutorial
Rewards: +2 INT, +1 WIS, 10 STAT Points, 3 Gacha tokens, Increased Understanding of the Gamer System
Hello, and Welcome to The Gamer. This system will allow you, and others you party with, utilizing points to increase your attributes and, by extension, your physical and mental skills. To start with, say or think "Stats."
"Seems easy enough, Stats." The moment i finish the word, a screen of dark pink on light pink appears, me subconsciously confirming it seems to be able to read minds, having appeared using some of my favorite colors.

Alias: Pinks, Diana, The Rude Pink One (I let out a half-amused scoff at that)
Title: None
Species: Human?
Level: 1 (0%)
EXP: 0
HP: 100/100
DEX: 15
STR: 13
VIT: 11
INT: 17
CHA: 9
WIS: 16
LCK: 10
Available points: 0
Overall, my stats are about what I expected, i can be a bit...vulgar with my language. Though, what gives me pause is my species, a...human? But I'm not real, not in the conventional sense anyway. I'm able to control my shock as the facts line up, it makes sense. There has been a strange weight on me since I awoke, pulling me to the ground, perhaps this is what gravity feels like?
Pushing the interesting thought aside, I continue with the tutorial.
This is your Stat Screen, here you will be able to look at your level and any of your stats, as well as increase them utilizing "Skill points." You are currently at Level 1. Once you gain enough EXP, your LV will increase, increasing your HP, as well as filling it to 100%.
Each stat corresponds to a physical or mental trait of your body, showcasing your skill and natural ability with it.
Dex (Dexterity): How skillfully you are with your hands, having a high level would grant many skills, such as painting, as well as pickpocketing.
Str (Strength): How much physical force can your muscles generate, having a high level would make CQC attacks devastating, as well as helping with more mundane things, like if you need to move a couch.
Vit/Con (Vitality/Constitution): How much damage can your body take and still function, as well as your resistance to illness, both natural and poison. Having a high level would make you very difficult to knock unconscious, much less kill, as well as making things like the common cold last at most a few hours.
Int (Intelligence): How much knowledge you hold, the more knowledge you have the more plans and strategies you can make, as well as more general knowledge, have a high level here and you wont be failing any quiz's any time soon.
Cha (Charisma): How approachable you are, as well as how threatening or kind you look, having a high or low Charisma can greatly change how others see you, for good or ill.
Wis (Wisdom): Where Int is how much knowledge you hold, Wisdom is how well you can use that knowledge, choosing if it's a good idea to attack or defend, and other things like that.
Lck (Luck): Self-explanatory, does the Universe hate you or love you, 10 is true neutral Luck.
Once you have gained Skill points you can use them to increase these as you wish.
Next comes the inventory.
I see another screen open, this one showcasing what looks like a grid.
This is your inventory, you can store whatever you would like in here within reason, as your Level gains, so too shall the space of your inventory.
As you go to different worlds a learn new skills, new parts of the System shall be unlocked, till then, have fun!
I exit out of the stat screen, only to have another screen appear before me, titled "Congratulations!"
You have been gifted the skill "Gamer's Mind"
You have been gifted the skill "Gamer's Body"
You have been gifted the skill "Observe"
Gamer's Mind (Level: MAX) You are a Gamer; therefore, you have the headspace of one too. You are able to stay calm and collected in stressful situations, able to think logically through it. Also grants a natural Psychic immunity.
Gamer's Body (Level: Max) You are a Gamer; therefore, you have the body of one too. Any lost body will instantly grow back after an encounter, instead, your life is measure in HP, with damage decreasing the gauge instead of causing permanent injury. Note: if your HP reaches 0 you WILL die.
Observe (Level: MAX) Through continued observation, you are able to find information on anyone and anything. Note: beings with levels 100 times your own or more simply have "?"
Your Int has increased by 2, Int is now 19.
Your Wis has increased by 1, Wis is now 17.
You have gained 10 skill points.
You have gained 3 Gacha Tokens.
Looking at my new skill points, I immediately decide to put 5 into Int, raising it to 24. I decide the other should be split between Cha, Lck, and Vit, what can I say, I prefer things be close to equal.
Cha: 11
Lck: 11
Vit: 13
The tutorial having finished, for the moment at least, I cast my gaze to him, and decide to use Observe, both to test it out and to see where he stands.

Strange, his stats seem so...basic. Maybe something to do with what happened to the system after that...ghost?...wisp...thing attacked us. The window was saying error, perhaps his data was corrupted.
That thought immediately worry's me, making me run to his side as fast as i can. He's still breathing obviously, heartrate is normal, and no temp. In any case, there's nothing i can do but sit down and wait for him to wake up.
