This story was inspired by Percy Jackson The Dark Gamer by nutsofthechest.
Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto.
Warning! There will be coarse language, gore, and much more... If it's not your cup of tea, please do not read on. Otherwise…
Note: Although this is in the Naruto section, very little will be from the actual Naruto-verse. Mainly reincarnated characters and skills will returning from his previous life.
Enjoy!
Day 3
He was running for his life.
He had apparently stumbled upon a wolf's den on accident while searching for a place to rest.
'This sucks... Maybe I could fight the fucker?'
Taking a quick glance at the information above the wolf's head told him otherwise.
Wolf
LVL 14
"Nope." As a LVL 2, he really didn't stand a chance, so he kept running.
Day 4
He was still running. How fucking long was this dumb ass going to follow him? He was getting tired.
Day 5
Naruto peeked over his left shoulder.
"Fucking finally. Stupid shitty wolf."
He collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily. He had been running for nearly two days straight. While he had done so before during his time as a Shinobi, running for days on end as a 6 year old was fucking difficult. He allowed himself a quick 10 minute breather before activating [Stealth] and setting off once more. He didn't want to risk the wolf finding him or some shit like that.
Day 14
Naruto sat under the shade of a tree as he reflected upon the last two weeks.
He had stealthily walked nearly nonstop for two weeks. Only taking small breaks to eat and drink. And he had found nearly nothing new, barring the whole wolf situation.
And in those past two weeks he felt it. The loneliness. It was terrible. He had no one to share with. No one to talk with. For a boisterous person like himself it was depressing. Even his Gamer's Mind didn't stop the effects...
On the bright side, his [Observe] skill had leveled up 19 times.
[Observe] LVL: 20
Mana Cost: None
{Saying or thinking Observe will allow you to see a brief description of an object or being. More information will become available as you level up this skill. As of now you can see a brief description, the HP and the MP of the target.}
He had also inadvertently created a new skill called [Run].
[Run] LVL: 12
Mana Cost: 14 MP / min
{You can Run! Good Job.
Passively boosts movement speed by 12%.
Actively boosts movement speed by 24%}
It was pretty cool. Right now it might not be very powerful, but imagine what it would be like when he reached Master, or Grandmaster.
For the most part though, the two weeks he had spent on Planet Maximus so far were uneventful. He didn't want to put too much effort into creating skills or working out for fear of a repeat wolf incident. Shudder. Thus he mainly stuck to using [Observe], [Stealth], and [Run].
Day 28
Another two weeks had passed. Naruto was starting to think that this forest was never ending. Either that or it was just fucking massive compared to Konoha's forests…
Oh… Maybe it was because he was so small…
Ping!
Due to realizing a basic fact, you have gained
+ 1 INT = 42
Good Job Dumb-Dumb!
'Yeah fuck you too game.'
He didn't complain though. He would endure, just like back in Konoha. The loneliness, the fear, the depression, they wouldn't bring him down. So what he was trapped on a random planet? He would find a way off it. So what he had lost all of his friends? He would make new ones, and he believed that his old ones still lived. So what his life was in danger every second of every minute? Fuck it! No matter what, he was Uzumaki fucking Naruto ~dattebayo! He always would be. And Uzumaki Naruto never gave up!
Ping!
Due to immense emotions and willpower you have gained a new Trait! Please note that this is very rare, and will not occur often.
[Endless Determination]
{You have vowed to never give up. To never give in. This is your Nindo. Your creed.
Passively influences people around you. You are an inspiration to all. The paragon of determination and willpower. People will be more friendly to you because of this.}
'Well that's cool, I suppose. Makes it easier to make friends.'
Day 35
It had been five weeks since Naruto had awoken on this planet. Still, he had found no one. He was bored of wandering, and was starting to think that this planet didn't even have other sentient creatures on it. It was this thought that finally made him stop running. Taking a look around, he found himself in a location that would be suitable for a long term camp. It was a decent sized clearing, with a small lake in the middle, and an even smaller island in the middle of the lake. The forests were about 25 yards back from the lake's shore.
Nodding once to himself, he decided that this would be the place he would call home, and so he set about gathering up the things he would need for his new home. As he turned back to the forest to gather the materials, he couldn't help but feel like he was being watched. It was faint, nearly non existent, but it was there.
Not willing to tip off whoever or whatever it was, he continued on towards the treeline. When he made it back into the treeline, he crouched and reached for one of the many sticks littering the forest floor. He used this motion to take a quick peek behind him. There was nothing there.
Naruto shook his head. He needed to make his camp and rest. His mind was playing tricks on him again.
Day 37
It had only taken two days to set up a basic shelter and camp. A small tent like structure made from dead tree branches served as his roof. Then he had laid out bunches of this soft, fluffy fiber which he had found around the forest for bedding.
The fluff came from a plant not dissimilar to a cotton plant-'let's just call then cotton plants for ease of mind. Only having much more fluffy material produced than a normal cotton plant. Now that he thought about it, it was actually kind of strange. None of the other cotton plants he had seen around the forest had produced nearly as much.
'Oh well. Best not to look a gift horse in the mouth.'
He had also created a small camp fire area, a log to sit on and stones in a circle to contain the fire. To light the fire, he had re-created a technique from his past life. It was a simple fire-starter jutsu, which he had adapted to use with mana.
[Lighter] LVL: 2
Mana Cost: 9 MP / use
{Use your mana to create a few sparks that appear from the tip of your finger. Useful for starting small fires.}
It was nearly night time again, and Naruto settles down in his new home to go over his new Gamer powers. He had gained something called a [UI] or [User Interface] which basically modified his vision to include a small red bar down in the bottom left as well as a small blue bar. They held numbers in them and represented his HP and MP.
There was also a small map in the top right corner of his vision. It didn't really display much at this point, just his position in relation to trees and such. But he assumed it would display allies and enemies later on. If he ever found any that is.
Also over the course of the five weeks he had increased his STR, DEX, and VIT a lot.
"Stats"
Name: Naruto Uzumaki
Title: The Gamer
Age: 6 years
Race: Human…?
LVL: 2
EXP: 50/200
HP: 31

MP Regen: 7.5 MP / min
STR: 18
DEX: 25
VIT: 21
INT: 42

His DEX had increased the most due to his constant attempts to control his movements. It takes a helluva lot of concentraion and agility to place your feet in spots that won't make noise when you He wanted to regain his former grace and agility he had in his past life. It would take a helluva long time, but he would do it.
