It only took a moment for everything to go back to normal after I hit the Y on the blue screen.

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING THE GAME.
YOU ARE NOW THE ONE AND ONLY GAMER!

Luck has increased due to getting a peek at your future.
Wisdom and Intelligence has increased due to making an intelligent decision with the information available.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO THROUGH THE CHARACTER CREATION SCREEN AND TUTORIAL?

Y / N

Did I say normal?

I sighed as I hit the Y. I did not expect this to be how I started my birthday… or any day for that matter.

Then I was hit with some massive vertigo and was forced to hold my stomach and head as I closed my eyes. As soon as it came, it was gone, and as I slowly opened my eyes, I noticed I was no longer in my bed any longer. Instead, I was in a large black void, with a full length mirror before me.

And why was I in my skivvies?

WELCOME TO THE CHARACTER CREATION SCREEN!

AS THIS IS YOUR FIRST PLAYTHROUGH MOST FEATURES ARE LOCKED SO AS TO NOT DRASTICALLY CHANGE YOUR CURRENT PLACE IN THE WORLD. ALL FEATURES WILL BE UNLOCKED UPON NEW GAME OR NEW GAME PLUS.

Wonder if that meant that I was immortal? Since I could apparently 'play' through my life more than once.

Wisdom has increased for correctly extrapolating extra information from that which is available.

Good to know… I wish I knew more about games to know what that meant…

Wow… I am REALLY pathetic… I was hoping to be a bit better. Hell, ANY BIT better than THAT! I mean, SERIUOSLY!? With the points I earned earlier, that means I had before this, 1 Wisdom, and 9 Intelligence, which, despite being my highest stat… aside from that weird luck, is still below average. WAS I MENTALLY CHALLENGED OR SOMETHING!?

Wisdom has increased for correctly extrapolating extra information from that which is available.

…I hate you… Is this one of those, Ignorance is bliss situations? Where it would have been better to just stay stupid and ignorant?

NO! Remember, remain stupid, you die giving birth to an immortal pedophile's child, who ends up with a dog… Do I REALLY want to be with a man-thing that will raise my child to fall in love with a dog!? FUCK THAT! I REFUSE!

Wisdom and Intelligence has increased due to making an intelligent decision with the information available.

Not going to complain, if the universe wants to make me smarter for not being stupid, go the fuck ahead… does increased Wisdom and Intelligence make me more of a 'potty mouth' as mom would say? Or is it just the combination of the increased stats and the knowledge of my situation?

Wisdom has increased for correctly extrapolating extra information from that which is available.

Good to know… although, seriously? Smarter and wiser people tend to curse more? That's kinda stupid.

Wisdom and Intelligence has increased due to making an intelligent decision with the information available.

…Mom will probably be angry if I go around cursing all the time now, or even accidently. So I will have to be careful from now on when around her.

Wisdom and Intelligence has increased due to making an intelligent decision with the information available.

This is nice… even if it does mean that I was so stupid that even things that SHOULD have been common sense give me points towards my Wisdom and Intelligence…

Oh my god… does that mean that I actually DIDN'T know that before this? That I would have gone right ahead and cursed around Renee and gotten in trouble like an idiot!?

Wisdom has increased for correctly extrapolating extra information from that which is available.

…I would simultaneously slam my head into my desk as well as thank you profusely for the opportunity to avoid a life of stupidity and immaturity that would be cut brutally short in a brutally bloody and painful way. Seeing as how I am in a black void with only a mirror in front of me, I will just thank you profusely.

Wisdom and Intelligence has increased due to making an intelligent decision with the information available.

I got on my knees and started thanking the universe profusely.

All Stats increased due to proper understanding of your situation and action towards your patron.

PATRON REVEALS NAME AS ELCHULUS.
(Being called it, you, and universe gets boring and aggravating after a while, no?)

I love you Elchulus, although it is kind a creepy that you are able to read my mind and control me and the universe to such an extent.

Strength and Endurance increased because Reality is my bitch, and through me, your bitch as well.

I am going to focus on my stats now.

Wisdom and Intelligence has increased due to making an intelligent decision with the information available.

I really am not going to complain, after finding out just how much I fail at life, both present and future, I have no pride left. I will take any free stats happily.

Wisdom and Intelligence has increased due to making an intelligent decision with the information available.

Okay, my stats are now.

Seeing as how most of my stats are average or almost there, except my Agility.. which explains why I am so clumsy that I can trip on air… I wi—

Agility has increased due to Elchulus feeling pity for you.

I now have average Agility… I don't care if it was pity, I am finally a normal human being. I would kiss you if you were before me Elchulus.

All Stats increased due to proper understanding of your situation and action towards your patron.

I haven't started my new life as The Gamer, and already it was the greatest decision I have ever, and probably will ever make. Thank you again for not letting me reject the option so quickly and foolishly.

All Stats increased due to proper understanding of your situation and action towards your patron.

Now then, what to focus on since I am finally a normal young teen. Well, considering that the world is a LOT more dangerous than I thought it was, it would probably be wise to either increase my combat capabilities, or my abilities to evade running into deadly situations.

Wisdom and Intelligence has increased due to making an intelligent decision with the information available.

The question is which one… or should I take both? Damn it, being smarter and wiser means nothing if the amount of information I had prior to this is still nearly non-existant. I have no idea what to do to face any such situation, much less supernatural ones.

Wisdom has increased for realizing a truth of the world.

The only things I know about such things are from cartoon shows, a couple of movies and a book here or there… not that any of them are real…

I smacked myself. Reality is my bitch now, thanks to you, was it not, Elchulus?

All Stats increased due to proper understanding of your situation and action towards your patron.

Well then, according to the few movies and books, the most important thing is going to be my speed, since if I cannot win by a quick strike to a vital point, slowly cutting them down works to. Or I can just run away.

Wisdom and Intelligence has increased due to making an intelligent decision with the information available.

Well, there we go, even Elch, seems to agree. So I quickly proceeded to put all ten points into Agility.

As soon as I hit ACCEPT I was once again hit by some vertigo, although not as strong as before. No what hit me hard this time was pain. I literally felt as my muscles seemed to contract and expand, over and over again. Tearing and healing, as if I had gone through several marathons non-stop in the span of the few minutes I was on the floor there. The slight vertigo didn't compare to that kind of pain. There was even some sharp burning in my eyes for a brief period of time.

Thankfully, it ended. Not that I wanted to get up immediately afterwards, but I was eventually forced to do so, and boy was I shocked.

The 13 year old Bella who stared back at me from the mirror was not the one I was used to. The one I was used to looked pretty average, if on the thin side, with pale skin and no noticeable female shape. The one staring back at me was slightly toned overall with particularly toned legs, and showed more female proportions than I had before with a slightly tanned color on my originally pale skin. She looked like I would have if I had been a more physically active, and out in the sun, with a healthy diet.

I just keep getting more reasons to hate myself from thirty minutes ago who tried to reject this gift, and want to kiss you Elch.

All Stats increased due to proper understanding of your situation and action towards your patron.

NOW THAT WE HAVE DECIDED YOUR STARTING STATS, LET US PROCEED TO YOUR AVAIABLE PERKS.
(Perks are special abilities that boost your abilities beyond your skills and stats. Or make gaining/improving skills easier.)

GREED (1/10)
Get 10% more loot from defeated foes.

LADY KILLER
Do 50% more damage to females. (This applies to all facets of combat. Mortal and otherwise.)

BLACK WIDOW
Do 50% more damage to males. (This applies to all facets of combat. Mortal and otherwise.)

THICK SKIN (1/5)
Take 10% less damage from physical attacks.

SWIFT (1/10)
Increases overall movement speed and reaction speed by 15%.

PINK MUSCLES (1/10)
Get the best of both muscle colors, increase physical damage, physical defense, health, and stamina by 5%.

HAWK EYED (1/10)
Increase range of eyesight to 100 meters. Better peripheral and kinetic vision.

POLYGLOT
Learn languages twice as fast. (Anything defined as a language counts. Regardless of whether it can only be spoken, written, or signed.)

NATURAL GENIUS
Gain 25% more XP from all facets.

GENIUS OF HARD WORK
All skills improve 50% faster when in use.

Okay… pretty much ALL of these are combat perks… if all physical perks, but I should get one of the last three… although a few of the combat ones are generally good as well, regardless of fighting or not.

After considering it a bit, I selected NATURAL GENIUS, considering it would reap the most rewards over time by getting it from the beginning, and unlike GENIUS OF HARD WORK it would be easier to utilize, particularly any combat skills, since I really don't want nor could explain getting into any such situation as a 13-year-old.

Wisdom and Intelligence has increased due to making an intelligent decision with the information available.

LET US LOOK AT YOUR AVAILABLE SKILLS, AND SKILLS YOU CAN UNLOCK!
(Skills are separated by Passive, those that work all the time, and Active, those that only work while you activate them. Skills encompass everything, from fighting styles and super techniques, to your language and Sudoku skills, or even cleaning dishes.)

GAMER'S MIND (MAX) [PASSIVE]
As the Gamer, you hold unimaginable powers, and we can't have that fall into others hands. Your mind is protected from all forms of attack and coercion or control. Drugs meant to weaken your mind will be immediately countered leaving you clear headed. Reduces overwhelming emotions to manageable levels. Prevents shock. You can still be convinced if they have a silver tongue, or due to outside influences like a hostage. Has a direct connection to Elchulus.

First, THE FUCK!? I can understand and am thankful that I can no longer be brainwashed or something, but what the fuck do they expect me to run into!? Although this does explain why I have been reacting so acceptable to this situation, even before my increased stats and considering that without this power, my world still has apparent immortals and babies that rip through your stomach and ribs.

Also since you can apparently see, hear and fuck with everything, does that last line even have to be there?

NEW TITLE RECEIVED: SMARTASS
Let's you point out the obvious to others without them feeling stupid or like you are an asshole. Only effective while title is equipped, at all other times, people will react negatively to you being an asshole smartass.

Really?

SMARTASS LEVEL UP
SMARTASS LEVEL UP

Oh fuck you! CAN TITLE'S EVEN LEVEL UP!?

Wisdom has increased for correctly extrapolating extra information from that which is available.

…let's just get on to my next skill.

GAMER'S BODY (MAX) [PASSIVE]
You are a game character, so any changes to your stats and the like will immediately affect you. You recover all health, mana, stamina and status effects after resting in bed. Lost limbs and the like will be recovered after rest, but scars will be created for all injuries requiring them, and will remain barring special procedures, perks, skills or items. Vital areas are still vital, damage to said areas will be calculated differently, and loss of head will be considered an instant death, unless certain perks, skills or items are in effect at the time.

…I… I don't even know what to say to that. Whereas I am happy that I can apparently recover from anything overnight, including apparently fatal damage… the fact that the description goes out of its way to point out that I will be receiving scars and have to actively avoid death… doesn't really lift my spirits for the rest of my life… FUCK! I WAS A NORMAL PRE-TEEN!

…yeah I can't even honestly fight that, since my 'normal' life would have ended in a most ABNORMAL way… Does that mean I was just that fricking blind? To not see all the crap that is actually going around me? Or was it my fucking horrible Wisdom that didn't allow me to realize what may have been obvious? Nah, otherwise the rest of the world would know, they aren't all mentally retarded like I used to be… Are they?

…maybe I should have gotten the HAWK EYE perk.

Also, what is it with me putting down my past self? That was me not even an hour ago!?

... she was pretty stupid and weak though… I look back at my slightly toned and tanned body… yeah, I can make fun of my past self. Even if this all turns out a dream, I now have a goal after all.

THOSE TWO SKILLS WERE ALL THAT YOU HAVE. YOU HAD NO PREVIOUS SKILLS TO SPEAK OF THAT COULD BE TRANSLATED INTO THE GAME!

SINCE I FEEL SO BAD ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU SUCKED, HERE IS A COUPLE OF FREEBIES!

You make me alternate from 'Must not kill screen, it is giving me power and skills.' to 'I love you!', even if it is true… Oh my god!

YES?

Do not get angry that it is a dick. It gave me a way to survive. It is a good dick… Urgh… why did mom have to give me the talk last week after she heard me use those words… now I just want to stay away from crap like that.

And YOU! I just realized that you're the reason I am turning into a crazy person!

Wisdom has increased for realizing a truth of the world.

Seriously!? Turning me crazy is a universal truth!?

Urgh… Whatever, let us look at the two skills you have so graciously granted me.

All Stats increased due to proper understanding of your situation and action towards your patron.

…it is because of things like that, that I really can't hate you, even when I realize that my bi-polar reactions are all because of things like this…

OBSERVE (1/100) [ACTIVE 0.0%]
It lets you gain information about the target of observation. Higher levels give more information.

This is in answer to my blind comment, isn't it? I appreciate the skill!

GOD'S INTUITION (1/100) [PASSIVE 0.0%]
Your gut feeling, replaced by Elchulus telling you that there is a problem. So pay attention to it! At the beginning, you will only hear when Elchulus 'screams' at you. Higher levels confer more understanding of the 'feelings' as well as the ability to hear even the little 'whispers' warning you of something.

…okay, these pokes at my inability to notice things are getting kind of aggravating…. Although I still thank you for them, as they are too good for me to say otherwise. I mean seriously? My gut feelings will now be 100% trustworthy, since it is YOU sending me them… although how would I understand the feeling? AND WAIT! You can literally MESSAGE ME DIRECTLY WHATEVER THE HELL YOU FEEL LIKE! WHY WOULD YOU MAKE IT A SUPER VAGUE 'FEELING'!?

IT WOULD BE BORING IF I DID EVERYTHING FOR YOU. I ALREADY GAVE YOU A LOT OF FREEBIES AND STILL PLAN A FEW MORE, SINCE YOU REALLY WERE PATHETIC, AND THIS IS THE TUTORIAL. AFTERWARDS, ALTHOUGH YOU CAN TALK TO ME, DO NOT EXPECT A RESPONSE. THE FACT THAT I WILL CONTINUE TO ASSIST YOU THROUGH A MODIFIED SKILL SHOWS JUST HOW MUCH I AM GOING OUT OF MY WAY TO HELP YOU. SERIOUSLY, HOW MANY PRIMORDIAL GODS DO YOU KNOW OF? HOW MANY WOULD ACTIVELY HELP SOMEONE? MUCH LESS A MORTAL, OF WHICH EVEN REGULAR SPECIES, MUCH LESS LESSER GODS OR THOSE BEYOND, THINK LESS OF? I HAVE LITERALLY BROKEN REALITY TO GIVE YOU YOUR ABILITY, AND WILL CONTINUE LOOKING OVER YOU IN A MORE EFFECTIVE WAY THAN ANY 'GUARDIAN ANGEL'.

…I was honestly shocked. I literally have no words, and barely any thoughts to comprehend this… I was not well read prior to this, and I don't have much of a base to help me, but the increased stats did help me figure some things out… aside from the fact that I need to scour the internet later for everything that I can.

I already realized Elchulus was powerful, his comments of making Reality his bitch pretty much cemented that… I guess I didn't really UNDERSTAND that until he stopped playing around and said it like it is… I had a being powerful enough, that he predates all of the other gods and possibly the universe itself… And he has not only created a power that grants me a fraction of his strength over the universe itself, it will allow me to grow quicker and stronger than ever, to escape my horrendous fate of marrying and copulating with a sick, demented, rich, narcissistic, egomaniacal, immortal pedophile… he is saying he will be ACTIVELY looking out for me…

I just sat there for a bit, as I let my much higher WIS and INT allowed me to process that… even with my Gamer's Mind muting my feeling quite a bit, once I TRULY realized the implication of my new abilities and patron guardian god… well, as I said, I needed a moment.
