A boy sits crumpled up into a marble table quietly groaning and hating life. Small sparks of purple electricity float around his body. With grave struggle and lots of determination, the boy tries to stand up. With Bambi-like legs, he finally manages to steady himself. With as much power as he can muster, he straightens himself out, only wincing a little as the sound of clicking bones come from his moving body.
Who would have thought that some measly electric shock would launch me across the room, well I say measly but it hurt like a bitch, my fingers are still tingly. Despite the fact I was put through pain and the world honestly makes me want to shove a fork in the toaster, I did notice something. This game is just like what that annoying blue screen said, it's a fantasy. This isn't just any fantasy world, no no it's a bloody cliche gamer fantasy world, that's how I got the skills. An old perverted laugh slid out of my mouth fufufu. If there is anything I know about fantasy world it's that the MC is always OP as hell and to get home I need to be OP as hell. Although I refuse to get a harem, I think I would rather get shocked again than get a harem.
Okay, the first thing you do in an MMO is create a character, so I would change my appearance and choose my race. "Oi oi god you send me to a fantasy world, but you take out two of the most crucial steps?". Quiet sniffles and the sound of a heart breaking came from the teenage boy."The one chance I had of being handsome has been taken from me". I will not sit idly by as a stupid being rules this world, with a motion so fast that even the gods eyes couldn't keep up I flick my wrist and flip off the sky. Wait don't I look more stupid flipping off my ceiling than the god does not knowing about the basics of MMOS?... You won this time old man.
Okay after the character customization you would be told the story of the world... I'm not even going to complain I always skip that shit anyway. Okay then finally the last mandatory thing for all players is to add your starting points to your character. Fufufu it's time to start my life as the OP MC. Filling my lungs with expectations and obviously oxygen whilst clearing my mind, I shout "STATUS"... nothing happens. "God you can't be serious right now, there is no way you didn't even add status right?". No, don't worry I must just have to active it some other way. Bringing my hand up I swish it in front of my face and speak the magical words of "Status"... nothing happens. I feel like Magikarp trying to use splash, I now understand your suffering and say a quiet prayer. Not giving up I clap my hands together using more force than what my body should be able to use whilst I state my desire "Status"... a blue box appeared.
Skill Gained- Distraction[LvL1] Using stupid antics the user can temporarily distract their opponent.
Feeling defeat wash over me I drop to my knees. My hands cup my mouth to muffle my screams of embarrassment. With my blushing face looking at the ceiling I once again start to complain at god, I have become so complaining since coming here ughhhh. "All I did was try my hardest at trying to understand this world, but in return for my effort, I got made fun of by the skills. I will not sit idly by as such a stupid being controls this world". Sniffles unconsciously escape from my mouth as I bathe in my own embarrassment all because I wanted to open my status. "OH COME ON YOU ONLY HAD TO THINK THE WORD STATUS!!" why did I clear my mind WHYYYYY.

I'm only Level 5? I went through all that pain and I'm only level 5? Then again I didn't even get a notification telling me I levelled up so I only presume I got to level 5 in my old world. I don't know what the average stat rates are in this world, but I feel like my Intelligence must be pretty good. What the hell is up with that 6 in strength, though, like I get that I don't lift bro, but come on 6 is too low. Okay, so I have 25 points I can allocate. My guess is that I get 5 skills point per level then. My goal is to go home and to do that I'm guessing I'm going to have to either use very strong magic or do a flash and run incredibly fast and open up a wormhole... I don't like running. So I will put 10 points in wisdom and bring it up to 22 and then 5 points in intelligence to bring it up to 55. After many attempts at trying to put in the points with my hands, I realised that I need to use my thoughts again...tehe. 50 intelligence my arse,
Okay back to stage one, restoring power. I walk back over to the circuit board with caution in every single step not wanting to get zapped up again. Making sure my hands weren't wet this time I flip the switch and once again nothing happened. I feel like nothing happening is becoming a common occurrence in my life. Without this power though none of the light in the house or the fridge/freezer or oven will work. I refuse to live without a proper way to cook my bacon,
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
So the main problem is that there is no power coming into my house anymore. Then I need to find a way to put electrical power in and I have just the way. What is the definition of Electrical Manipulation and within a second a pop-up appears.
Electrical Manipulation:
Allows the user to channel electricity through their body.
Allows the user to control electricity on the outside of their body.
Allows the user to channel Electricity into objects.
Fufufu doesn't this sound really OP? Okay to start with I should try and control the electricity. With a thought, Electrical Manipulation started and my body was coated in purple sparks of electricity once again. Then I checked my status and saw that my mana had dropped down to 140, so if my math is correct it consumes 5 mana to activate. I kept my status open for a minute ad realized my mana didn't drop anymore. Sweet it doesn't require me to feed it more mana.
Now I have to try and increase the power, Tensing my body the sparks started to get bright and brighter until eventually I was thrown to the floor spasming. I fainted for the second time today.
When I woke up it was pitch black inside the house. Ahh, it's finally night time. My body jumped up when suddenly I loud roar broke the silence that had been there throughout the whole day. Then the roar was followed by multiple wolf howls. "Ahh shit, I got some mobs to deal with tomorrow", with the fear of dealing with mobs my body shook while cold sweat formed on my brow. With new determination and with the plan on surviving tomorrow I decided to get back to training. In the corner of my vision, I noticed I had a little chat bubble. Not knowing what it was I sceptically willed it to open.

Sweet!. Though it disturbs me a bit to think that someone had been watching me to know what I did. At least I look less crazy knowing someone is actually listening when I yell. It's also nice to know that I get Exp from levelling up my skills. Okay, let us try something a little less risky this time. With a thought, Electrical manipulation activated and straight away I could tell that it was easier to control and it no longer felt like I had 100 bugs crawling over my body. Instead of just tensing my body to try and increase the power I decided to try and control the electricity to one point.
Focusing on the sparks I willed it to form on my hand in the shape of a ball. Slowly a ball of pulsing purple electricity formed on my hand it was about the size of a golf ball. I noticed that I couldn't really feel the sparks on my hand. I checked my status and notice that my mana had dropped to 137. I can't really tell how much mana it cost because I don't know how much mana I restored in my sleep. Stupid me not checking and just jumping right in. With a thought I tried to increase the size of the ball, it slowly expanded until it was about the same size of a tennis ball and then I stopped the thought and I noticed my mana dropped to 132.This probably means it cost me more mana to increase the strength of the manipulation too. Then I got a stream of pop-ups.

Fufufu. That should be good enough for Electrical Manipulation for now and I finally got an attack spell. A grin spread across my face as I think about those mobs tomorrow. I plan to save all my stat points until tomorrow and see what I need where when battling. Okay now, the last thing I need to do before going to bed. Making my way towards the circuit board I place my hand on it. With a thought, my Electrical Manipulation turns on depleting my mana down to 127. Then I start to channel the sparks inside the circuit board. My status screen still open I notice that my mana was rapidly dropping. I could feel my body becoming weak and I was loosing conscious. The lights began to flicker on when I had got 60 mana left. Fianlly the light stayed on permantly and I ripped my hand off the circuit board. Looking at my status I noticed I only had 40 mana left. The drowsiness was slightly depressed by the smile growing on my face as finally, I have the power back. Then the pop-ups came.

Is it just me or does this feel too easy, like granted I'm supposed to be the OP MC, but I feel I get to many skills. I'm probably just a talented prodigy, I eman I'm only 16 I'm at the right age. It's time to rest before I go out and slay some monsters. With my sleepy body I drag myself up the stairs into my bed quickly falling asleep reassured by the comfort of the lights. The whole time I had a contempt smile on my face.
Little did I know that the bright light would draw a little unwanted attnetion.
