This was the floating screen I woke up to today.
At first I thought I was tripping, or that the Russians bombed us with weed bombs or something.
But no.
This was, is my reality.
I was still thinking about it as I ate my breakfast, alone at my small table.
Yes, I lived alone, even though I was still a 15 year old high schooler, this was because while I was going to school in America, the rest of my family was back in Scotland. My parents just rented an apartment one day and shipped me off to America.
So far I've been here for 3 months, I still get a small monthly allowance from my parents and they call every now and then. But the calls are getting rarer and rarer.
Now I hardly speak to them, it's like they're not even my family.
But I didn't particularly mind.
Right now I was focused on the floating transparent blue screen floating around my vision.
As I grew more and more confused about my situation my phone started to vibrate in my pocket.
"Oh shit! I'm late for school!"
I devoured my breakfast in a record breaking 5 seconds and ran out my door, almost forgetting to lock it.
Then I ran down the flight of stairs in my hotel and out the door, alarming some other guests. Before they could ask anything though I was already out onto the street, dodging and weaving around the thousands of pedestrians as I sprinted full tint to my school.
Sadly I was too late for the bus, so I would have to sprint to the school, which wasn't that bad considering if I ran the entire trip it would only take me about 15 minutes.
Sure I'd be late but it's not like it'd kill me.
But after sprinting for 10 minutes a blue screen popped up in my vision with a ding.
Gained one agility
Hmm, okay then.... I should probably see a doctor for this problem or before I know it I'll be riding magical imaginary ponies around the city. And this city has enough nut jobs already.
Eventually I reached the glorious gates of my high school, but I was once again greeted with another blue screen, but this time it was different.
Skill learnt:
Dodge: lvl 1
allows user to dodge around people and projectiles with greater skill and ease.
Okay then, that happened. But this was starting to feel pretty cool for a hallucination, it's like I'm in a game!
I shook my head and walked into my school, trying to look as invisible as possible to all the people wandering around. Before long I reached my locker, but a few meters away from it some skinny nerd was getting forced into a locker by two big guys.
"Come on Wilbert! Get in the fucking locker, maybe you could jack off to your precious 'anime' there you freak!"
"Hehe, yeah get in there you weird ass!"
Dumb jocks are picking on some nerd again, I hope they'd do this near someone else's locker. I slowly walked over to my locker, trying to avoid the gazes of the nerd.
But soon one of the jocks saw the nerd staring at me and turned to me.
"Grab your shit and piss off geek."
The nerd once again looked at me, like I was the only hope he had, which I guess I was.
Fuck it.
Slowly I walked over to the trio.
Closer.... Closer...
One of the jocks raised an arm offensively, looking like he was about to break my jaw, but I just kept on walking.....
Straight to my locker.
I just grabbed my workbooks and left, leaving the poor nerd to his fate.
Hey, I'm just one guy! I'm bad at sports, I'm bad at school work, and bad at pretty much everything!
The only thing I've ever been remotely good at was video games, and that was only slightly above average. My KD ratio on call of duty is abysmal.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
I removed the nerd from my thoughts as I reached my class, looks like it's maths.
I peeked through the glass window to in the door, waited until the teacher was turned around and looking at the board, then I silently opened the door and crept over to an empty seat.
A few people noticed me, but they didn't really care so they just turned back to their books.
After successfully infiltrating the class I just opened my work book and pretending to write stuff in teacher turned around to explain whatever he wrote on the board, but he didn't notice my sudden appearance, his eyes just scanned over me, like I didn't even exist.
This was the kind of low profile I kept at school, almost invisible.
But what did notice me was a certain blue screen who diligently popped up into my vision. This time with a lengthy description.
Notice:
[You may be wondering, 'what the fuck are these little blue screens?' Well I'll answer that for you.
This is a unique ability that was randomly given to you by something somewhere, I don't know and you won't either so don't bother asking. Who am I? I am your own personal A.I, I somewhat came with your ability, like a little bundle of joy with your package.
Well anyway, this is a totally and utterly unique ability you have here, it gives you the ability to turn yourself into a game character, cool isn't it?
And no you are not dreaming, this is all real. I'll prove it by reading your thoughts, think of a number, Raven.]
Okay then, I'll give this little blue screen a piece of mind.

I know that your all angry at me for putting all my other stories on hiatus, but bear with me.
I am weak to my many, many temptations. And after reading a web toon called 'the gamer' I just couldn't resist writing a story on it.
It gnawed away at me for weeks, it was in my dreams, my thoughts, my everything.
What would I do if I got the gamer ability?
So here you have it, this is what I would do if I had the gamer ability. Hope you brought a spare pair of undies because we are in for a hell'ova ride my friends....
