The Gamer?! What the hell is that? This is too insane, this isn’t real life is it? I must be in some sort of dream state in a hospital somewhere, I nodded to myself vigorously.  I must be in a coma. If it’s a dream then I have to investigate this.  I looked towards the box in front of me and read it again. It said the bundle would be in my inventory. “Inventory? Wher-” I stopped myself as another box appeared in front of me, revealing the outline of a man and multiple boxes that were all blank, except for one. My surprise this time was even less, but still a lot, as already, that notification has sent my wits and intellect out of the window and into a different dimension.

I hesitantly moved my hand to touch the bundle, and my hand entered the screen. it was a weird feeling, like putting your hand in water yet it is still dry. The screen rippled like water, I could feel the bundle. It was cloth bag, woven around with strips of leather.

I grabbed it, and pulled it out. It was bigger than I thought. The size of a backpack, stuffed to its limit.I put it on the ground, and with cautious hands, untied the leather. What was in that bundle surprised me to say the least, in more ways than one, it was EXACTLY like a game bundle. in it was a book, with a simple green cover, vials of red liquid that looked like health potions, and a wooden sword and knife.

Whilst looking at the contents, my first thoughts was ‘well, this is anticlimactic’ then a frustrating feeling came over me and I shouted “This is not a Game! Why give me actual game bundle’s in real life?!” I sighed in annoyance, looked back to the items. The only thing that caught my interest at that moment was the book, i was hoping for at least a guide  for all this crazy shit happening around me. I picked it up, and began to read:

Introduction to your new Life! 

Hope filled my being, come on come on please explain all this to me!

The ability of The Gamer is exactly what it is, but wheres the fun in telling you all you need to know? All that this book can tell you The Gamer, is that you have to think that you ARE in a game, the fun is in discovery. Don’t you know that? 

And with that the book flashed in an explosion of light. I looked in shock at my now empty hands, before rage filled me “Fuck You! Get back here and tell me what the fuck is happening to me!” But then, I noticed another notification in front of me:

You have been sent on a quest to ‘discover’ what your ability really is. Rewards: Knowledge on your ability, 100 000 exp, and a random skill!

Quest? Oh great. Now there’s this sort of shit? I sighed again, calming myself down. ‘I have a feeling that all this crap will give me an unlimited amount of stress’ but now I have an understanding on the ability. I get quests, thats game-like, and it seems, after looking at the quest, that I can get ‘exp’ and ‘Skills’. I sit down on my bed, massaging my temples. I am not gonna enjoy anything anymore.
