New Story, Enjoy.
'I remember so called 'netizen' [an excessive user of the internet, especially a or one] fellows who loved games saying this. "How Great Would It Be If Life Was A Game!?"'
'"What If, I Have Levels Showing Above My Head, Gaining EXP. Points, And Set My Status As I Want?"'
'But, to tell you the truth, if you ask me, "How Great Would It Be If Life Was A Game?" I would answer, Exactly Like This.'
'"Nah, It Wouldn't Be Good At All."'
We cut to a 17 years old teenage boy with white hair, sitting in his high school class. Around him were other teens, notable ones being a young black teen with an afro, a young white teen with red hair, and a Latina in a lavender sweater. Above each of their heads, including the other teens in the classroom had words and numbers floating above their head.
{LV 9, Clyde McBride, Mystic Saint}
'My best friend since we were five. Smart and kind. Thanks to that, he doesn't have to worry about getting into any colleges. I heard it's some sort of special admission.'
{LV 11, Chandler McCain, Mystic of McCain Family}
'A rich prick and punk who does whatever he wants and can get away with it because he's rich.'
{Lv 17, Rolanda Anne Santiago, Spirit Flame Student}
'A girl who is... Complicated to explain. First she was my bully. Then she was my first girlfriend. We had our first kiss together. Then she moved away. Then she was a long distance girlfriend. Then she was a long distance friend. Then she moved back to Royal Woods. And now we're just friends.'
The young boy turned to look at himself in the window he sat next to. Closer inspection showed he was a white teen boy with gray eyes, white hair, and a lean figure with barely any muscle. He also had a slight overbite, but it wasn't noticeable. There was also a small pair of buck teeth peeking from under his upper lip. He wore an orange shirt, blue jeans, white shoes.
Above his head, there was also text.
{Lv 14, Lincoln Loud}
'I should probably give some context as to how this happened before Lance Info Dumps it all. He's still gonna in a couple paragraphs but it'll lessen the load of information. Let's go back to the beginning.' Lincoln thought to the readers.
-A Few Days Ago-
Lynn Loud Sr., father of 11 kids, half of which were adults now, was cutting up vegetables for a stew. A few seconds after he was done, he looked into the fridge and found he was missing something. "Lincoln! Can you go get some sausage from the store!?" The Loud Patriarch announced.
Upstairs the Loud House, the linen closet that was Lincoln's bedroom was now just an ordinary linen closet. The Oldest Loud's Lori, Leni, as well as Luan Loud, had moved out of the house. Luna Loud remained as her band had trouble becoming a hit as rock was hitting a low point in this day and age, as is the world of music, it's a cruel one.
Lisa and Lily stayed in their bedroom. Lola had her old room all to herself. Lana took up Lucy's spot with Lynn Jr in their bedroom. Lucy took Luna and Luan's bedroom for herself. Luna and Lincoln shared what was once Lori and Leni's bedroom. Inside Lincoln was doing homework and Luna was sleeping in his bed as her side of the room was a mess.
Suddenly, a blue screen appeared in front of Lincoln's face.
[A Quest Is Created]
Lincoln scratched his head in confusion. 'Did I fall asleep or is it one of Lisa's hologram projectors in the room right now?' Those were his first thoughts as he looked over the screen. 'A quest alert screen? Those usually only pop up in a video game, this is reality...'
[QUEST ALERT!]
[TASK FROM DAD: GO GET SOME TOFU!]
[THE GAMER'S DAD WANTS SAUSAGES FOR COOKING. LET'S BE QUICK AND GET HIM SOME SAUSAGES!]

[FAIL PENALTY:]
[NAGGING DAD]
[DECREASE OF DAD'S FAITH IN YOU]
'The hell is going on?' Lincoln thought to himself, his face clearly showing his confusion. Rubbing his eyes again to check if he was seeing things.
Then Lynn Sr.'s voice shouted again, "Lincoln!"
"I'm going!" Lincoln announced as he stood up. He walked downstairs and grabbed the cash his father left on the table for him to use. "Is sausage all you need?" Lincoln asked to be sure he didn't need to get anything else.
[Quest Item Obtained!]
"Pop ups for everything..." Lincoln muttered as he walked out of the store. Lincoln looked at people around him, above their heads were Levels and Names. Some even had titles. Lincoln managed to deduce that these were how strong these people were, their Power "Levels" so to speak.
The Levels were a broad term for how strong or skilled, he managed to find a good example on TV. A LV 25 Boxer facing off against a LV 23 Dude with huge muscles. The Levels could mean either a strong body or highly skilled, sometimes both.
Lincoln continued to look around and observe his surroundings to see what were the limits of this new power of his.
[Alert!]
This startled Lincoln as the screen had appeared right in his face.
[A New Skill Is Created By A Specific Action]
[Due To Continuous Observation, A New Skill {Analyze} Is Created. It Shows The Information Of The Gamer's Target!]
'A... Skill?' Lincoln thought as he used it on a woman's dog barking at him.
[Chihuahua]
[LV 9]
[HP: 700]
[MP: 100]
[A small dog. Feisty and violent toward any who are not its owner. Likes fighting cats and barking at strangers.]
[Current Action: Challenging "Bastardo perdedor de pelo blanco" to a fight.]
'My level is lower than a dog's... And if I didn't want to be sued I'd kick this damn mutt.' Lincoln glared at the chihuahua, knowing full well what that Spanish translated into. The Loud boy did the smart thing however walked away.
He got back home quickly by using shortcuts he and Clyde had found throughout the town over the years. Lincoln announced when he stepped through the front door, "I'm back." The Loud boy then stepped into the kitchen and gave his dad the sausages.
Lynn Sr. smiled as he took them. "Thanks son, keep the cash. A reward for getting them so fast."

"I'll be upstairs." Lincoln replied. As he walked upstairs Lynn Jr. was walking down, twirling a metal bat as she did.
Lynn had stagnated in the height department, only coming up to just above Lucy but under everyone older than the Gothic Loud. She still had her long brown hair in her normal ponytail, no makeup, and had the strongest figure of all the Louds, a mix of lean, athletic, and muscular builds, she was dead last in the bust and butt size to her sisters, however. She wore a white with red stripes top under a red jacket with the number one on the back, red shorts with white stripes, and black cleated shoes.
Due to her lack of awareness she hit Lincoln's knee with her metal bat. "Ow!" The Loud boy yelped as the sporty Loud looked at him.
"Oh, jeez! Sorry, Lincoln!" Lynn apologized as she held onto Lincoln's shoulder to keep him from falling.
Something strange happened soon after. After the hit occurred, the pain almost immediately vanished, Lincoln felt no more pain in his knee. "Uhh... No problem." Lynn quickly made her way downstairs and out the front door. Before she disappeared behind the door, Lincoln saw text above her head.
{LV 32, Lynn Loud Junior, Spirit Flame Fighter}
'Level 32? How'd she get that high?' Lincoln thought as he returned to his room. Luna wasn't there anymore so he was free to study his strange ability. Lincoln sat down and looked at the Level Up Screen that's been up since he leveled up. It was pretty standard looking.
"All I've seen until now is the level up screen and the skill creation screen..." Lincoln muttered to himself as he did his homework, he had a quick thought. "If this was a game, there would be a menu button on the screen, but this is real life. Is it voice recognition? ..." Lincoln looked at the pen in his hand before he spoke, "Analyze." A screen popped up soon after he spoke.
[Ink Pen]
[An Ordinary Pen Filled With Black Ink]
"Looks like it is." Lincoln muttered before saying, "Status Screen." A win

Lincoln observed his status screen, putting his Status Points into his Power, making it 18, Strength, putting it at 16, Intelligence, making it 20. "Okay... Now I just need to figure out what this is. Items..." Nothing happened. "Looks like vagueness doesn't work. "Item Screen."
As soon as the Loud boy said that a screen showing a silhouette of a person with empty squares on the head and hands, pictures of his shirt, pants, underwear, socks, and shoes filled slots corresponding to where they were located. "Skill Screen."

"That explains why I've been so calm about all this..." Lincoln muttered, he had noticed how calm he's been about this since he discovered it.
"Kids! Dinner! Lincoln, go get Lynn and Luna! They left a little earlier!" Lynn Sr. announced from the first floor.
[A Quest Is Created]
Sighing deeply, Lincoln stood up from his chair, accepting the quest and walking out the door. "Try to get back before dinner gets cold."
As Lincoln walked toward the park, the one place he knew Lynn would be. Most likely practicing her swings. As Lincoln continued down the street, he heard something, or rather, he heard nothing. Everything had gone dead quiet. A few minutes before, it was the lunch rush, cars and people everywhere, but now, Lincoln stood solely alone on the sidewalk. "Where'd everybody go?" Lincoln muttered as he looked around, there was not a person nor car in sight.
Lincoln shook his head, no explanation would explain why things have gone dead silent. "I better head back..." Lincoln muttered as he began walking backwards.
He didn't have the time to ponder this as he suddenly found himself face to face with a man in front of him. He wore a black suit and tie with black dress shoes. He had a black goatee, black hair that was slicked back, and light skin. The man was a few inches taller than Lincoln, and was very strong looking.
"Hmmm... Strange... How did you get in here..." The man seemed to observe Lincoln for a moment before looking at a building next to them. Where he proceeded leaped 5 stories straight into the air! No wind up or prep!
Leaving a confused Lincoln, until a massive explosion knocked him on his back. Something had blown straight through the side of a building and then Luna walked through.
Luna was the same height as Lincoln, had the same purple eyeshadow, short brown hair in a spiky pixie cut with the left side shaved, she has a beautiful pear-shaped, curvy figure with a huge chest, hips and had the biggest rear end of the older loud sisters, she also possesses a lot of rock style tattoos all over her body. She was wearing a black sleeveless leather jacket, a purple shirt with a menacing skull, two white belts, stretchy black pants with flames on the side, and purple rockstar boots.
{LV ?, Luna Loud, ?}
'Analyze.' Lincoln thought, his Gamer's Spirit calmed him down as his heart rate spiked.

'The hell is with all the Question Marks!? And what the hell is a Black Dragon's Soul thing and why does Luna have it?!' Lincoln thought in a panic as he ran behind a building. Before running behind a few more after recalling the explosion.
"First, you attack me. Then you run away after I kill your stupid dogs! You are really getting on my nerves asshole!" Luna roared, showing clear signs of rage.
Lincoln was baffled, this was Luna? His normally chill sister, the one who is normally the calmest of the Loud sisters?! "Apologies, something... Came up. I'm still interested in the Black Dragon's Soul you have."
Luna was silent for a moment before her veins bulged and she tilted her head. Her eyes became black with white pupils.
"You are really good at pissing me off, you know that?" Luna said through gritted teeth. Suddenly a black aura of lightning formed around Luna. Lincoln's Gamer Spirit had to calm him down as a loose bolt struck a light pole and melted it into goop.
