Chapter 2: Life Situation
~Silva POV~
But first if my [The Gamer] ability has everything like a game does then… how about checking the Help or settings menu if it has one.
Not like I have anything to lose here.
Thinking of my choice I began to word out one word to help get the right way to see my Status or I guess the Gamer Functions.
"Help."
[Ding!]
Hearing a dinging sound I saw a blue transparent screen appeared as I began to read the contents inside my head seeing the possibilities given to me.
Guess I was correct to assume such.
[Help:
-In order to bring up your status you merely need to say "Status" or think it to appear, but no one is able to see it unless through a Party System.
-By doing certain things multiple times, [The Gamer] ability will eventually register it as a skill, then it can be level up and possibly even evolve. Some Skills get cheaper the more you level up be on a look out for them.
-The Party System allows you to form a party with other members granting them Mini-Gamer powers only accessing to Level Ups and choices of increasing their stats. Or you could change it for them.
-Health points/HP- an attribute that determines your health of course and once that hits zero then that means you're dead and end to your story.
-Magic points/MP- It is the magical power that each individual has within themselves that can be used if it is unlocked it can be used for offense, defense, healing, senses, traveling, and protection.
-Strength/STR- this one determines physical strength but also increases the physical amount of damage the player can give to the target.
-Agility/AGI- raises various stats to ensure one's survival. This stat is used to boost coordination, reflexes, movement speed, and chances of evading attacks.
-Vitality/VIT- the ability to tolerate attacks without dying the more increase this stat the more health the player gains by its recovery rate.
-Intelligent/INT- increasing the chances of storing valuable information and solving complex problems that involves faster spell casting. The higher the level the more likely to develop skills easier and the faster MP will regenerate.
-Senses/SEN- the ability to perceive and detect using your six senses of hearing, smell, taste, touch, vision and sixth sense.
-Luck/LUCK- increase odds of winning the game, random encounters, rarity drops, and rarer rewards. It also helps determine a person's fate with more luck than others.
-Exp: The experience you gain by defeating a foe or kill them off. All exp gained is based on the Level of the Enemy.
-Level Up: When you level up you will feel immediately rejuvenated and per each level gain 5 bonus stat points to distribute. Even if you lose a limb when you level up you will immediately be recovered to full health in top shape with nearly everything restored.
-Skills: Skill List Window is a voice command that brings up a window with list of all the skills he has learned. When the skill icon is selected it shows all the current information of that skill.
-Loot: This sitting allows the user to have his loot automatically stored on their person or in their personal private location where upon killing/defeating the enemy is sent to the User. AUTO LOOT [ON]. Do you wish to turn on Auto Loot [Y/N]?
…]
There are few more reading down, but I got the best of what's happening to my ability but for now I turned off the loot settings since I have no inventory which sucks but Being X said we would meet in a town.
And I have better things to do.
So basically, on how much I learn or how many tough battles I go through basically?
Not a bad concept and idea. At the very least though I won't be worrying much about my situation too much.
Still… What that being said though was certainly interesting saying we would meet in a town was his own words?
I have so many questions on how it knew or rather I should be prepared for it?
I mean I would want to ask more but I guess I should focus down on my current problems first before going down that rabbit hole.
Then that means it's time for the grind set for every man with an ability like this to train my body for what's to come.
Still, I wonder what that being is though?
Guess I'll find out if I survive first.
Better get to work.
Although getting stronger would be more ideal as well…
[Ding!]
[The Quest is created.]

Huh?
Blinking in confusion it seems like Being X have already set this up to begin with making sure I have some incentive to train for the points since any guess I made didn't increase my INT stats so far…
Meaning stat points would be vital right now and which ones to carefully invest in is what matters in the long run of this predicament.
Pausing at this it wasn't like I didn't have anything better to do and wasting energy as is would be bad enough although…
Turning around at the room ahead I see it's still the nighttime if the full moon is anything to go by with the dimly light up lights of the Light Lacrima is anything to go by…
Not like I have anything to do currently the best I could do in this situation is reserve energy along with getting strong in the process.
I admit my body isn't what one would call ideal considering I'm a bit over weight with little bit of fat and not like arguing is not going to solve my case.
Better see if those Stats points are worth it…
And I haven't had to do exercise but the bear minimum for years now I have to do this again?
Sigh…
Unless I want to be shanked or killed better to keep my bitching to a minimum unless I want to die by someone in this world. At the very least it will give me some time and understanding where exactly I landed in this world.
Lacrima was a dead giveaway for me but even then, I feel like it's something I should know about meaning its past knowledge in a sense but for the life of me can't figure out because it feels…
Old to me.
Perhaps doing that Daily Quest would jog my memory up on the matter right away.
////
"Huff…"
…
"Huff…"
…
"Huff…"
…
"Sigh…"
Breathing out a sigh from my state I decided to stop at the moment to have an exact feel for my body resting up seeing any changes to me. And despite me feeling tired my body still shows the signs of being tired, with the sweat as evidence is still being produced off my body.
Guess the skill <GAMER'S PATH> is quite literal when it says life as a game.
Interesting…

It's just as I thought…
Even with the amount of exercise I do my stats nor experience haven't increased in the slightest despite me working my ass off.
From the looks of things doing some minimum physical exercise seems to have no additional benefits so far so the only way I can gain more is by doing the daily quest to get stronger instead of gaining them gradually huh…
At least I know for sure I can get stronger by adding more in the future but for now though this is what I can amount to in getting stronger which is sad but what can I do about it.
And even more so I found out more of my predicament after I took my time to investigate the base of the abandoned home belonging to these factions calling themselves the Avatar and no, I figured out they do not relate to the Avatar the Last Air Bender.
But more so the lines of magic than chi here.
Which is something considering I collected any money they have which confirms a few things for myself to know that being in Jewels.
And the only few worlds I know that uses Jewels as currency are those who live in the world of Fairy Tail Earthland which honestly the name was a dead giveaway.
But then again, I was occupied by the fact I was stuck here in a new world along with finding a horde of suicidal cultist didn't really prioritize my thoughts in order considering Being X sent me here by choice or accident which doesn't leave a lot of promise of getting to know guy when I do meet him in town.
Still having money is a necessity in society and if looting from dead corpse won't be needing cash where they're going anyway.
Regardless though I did manage to surprise enough know their language I didn't know if I would have any issues or rather, I would gain a skill that allowed me to translate to another language or because of my abilities as [THE GAMER].
I have enough cash to leave as I don't know how much I have is actually worth I decided it was best I stay around at least till I finish up my daily quest to have this talk with God or Being X to be certain.
"Whew…"
Finishing up the rest of the training I began to see the fruits of my effort paid in full.

I purposely added 2 of my stat points into STR while add 1 to LUCK to have a better chance in the future but I can certainly feel the effects occurring on my body.
Ah…
Yes…
I feel the power!
Seeing a small glow appeared around me I see the difference and can tell it.
Feeling my muscles on my body I began to see them grow even if it's only for a little bit. No rather condensed would be the word.
Luck on the other hand I don't really feel as much as I would hope but maybe I haven't met the right criteria or feeling of how to proceed on increasing my stats.
*THUD*
Ow…
Laying down on the ground feeling sore I decided to sleep up for the night and mentally begin trying to think of a way to unlock my MP bar for someone from another world. Because if I don't then I'm a dead man waiting to be killed.
When I check on the rewards the two other one's I decided to take reward number 3 to see if it's anything worthwhile.
[Ding!]
[You picked Reward #3!]
[You gained a stick!]
*Pop*
Making a popping sound seeing a stick fall out in front of me I only scowled talking to myself about this, "You have got to be kidding me? A stick? Seriously? I could literally get anyone one of them outside!"
….
For now, nap time is calling to me instead of dealing with this bullshit.
"Zzzz…"
Like that I slept knocked out.
Chapter 3: MP Bar Unlocked
~Silva POV~
"Ah…"
Taking the moment to collect myself as I seem to wake myself up rather a bit early in the morning seeing the sun is still out I gaze at the dimly night turning into day as I stretch my body out.
Feeling out of shape since I never thought I would have to do exercise again after so long from doing them…
I just want to be lazy and lay on my bed and call it a night but nooo…
Survival needs are a must at this moment. If not, then I die right here in this creepy cultist home.
Sigh…
I shook those thoughts away for the time being as I needed a place to stay after yesterday's events getting my thoughts and figuring out a way to unlock my MP since I can't exactly unlock it normally here because I don't have those Origins here.
I had the whole night to figure out how to unlock my MP first. What I need now is the strength to build a foundation and gather knowledge in the process.
Now then…
How the heck do I do it?
That's the question of how I should even go about it.
Not exactly well versed in the theme of magic and even trying it into reality but…
Well…
[THE GAMER] ability must have already known I would unlock it somehow. Think man think clearly without the usual mechanics of Gamer Body I need to experience all of this the hard way to grow stronger.
So think what perks I do have being transmigrated into a whole new world.
Now how would a guy like me use magic? The back track here is how would one describe the magic that should help me how to determine to unlock my own.
Wait…
Maybe I'm thinking about this the wrong way…
Trying to remember some bits and pieces of how the Gamer Han Jian actually unlocked his ability to use Mana or his MP bar exactly?
Think…
Oh!
From what I am remembering his actions opened his hand and concentrated his fingers on releasing the energy flowing out of his hand and by that point [THE GAMER] abilities helped locked into it.
Glancing at my hands I couldn't help but smirk at the idea since while the Help menu said that humans could learn magic by different means I just have to figure out the alternatives for myself to use magic.
At least it's not impossible for me to attempt these at least thanks to my biology for that matter and from what the Gamer ability said it's possible for ME to do it. All that I really need is how to proceed to make it work.
And who says that being a massive Anime Manga or Webtoon nerd doesn't have it's perks when it comes to survival in this day and age?
Ha!
I laugh at them!
Ahem…
Anyway returning to the subject at hand though.
Whew…
Releasing a breath out I began to do the exact same steps I have done as did Han did in the original Webtoons trying to release my energy by constantly releasing it from my hand to unlock my MP bar.
I'm releasing energy…
I'm releasing energy…
I'm releasing energy…
I'm releasing energy…
Hmm…
Maybe this isn't enough to activate it or unlock it…
Wait…
*Smack*
Smacking my hand like an idiot I forgot while Earthland may be a magic-filled place with the air having Ethernano that doesn't mean I can use it at the get-go and my logic behind it was flawed from the start.
The only reason why Han Jian was able to do it was because of Gaia's existence allowing people gifted like him to be able to wield magic, however…
My case isn't like that at all because there is no God like that to help me out here. So, I would need to do an alternative.
No…
Pausing a bit maybe my way of thinking is incorrect here since I'm trying to focus on my hand then what about my body instead then?
Long shot I know but it's not like I have anything concrete to work on here. Hell, who knows if this would even work but at the very least though I can say I tried this off the list if it doesn't work.
Maybe imagining my body as a whole like a functioning organ would work in order to allow the Mana or Ethernano in this case a type of supernatural energy that exists in the atmosphere and can be found basically everywhere.
When magic is being processed, a person's innate attitude will charge the mana particles to their specific 'element', which briefly manifests as a formless spell-form before taking the shape of the spell chosen.
When a person casts magic, they will experience brief physical and mental fatigue which results in sudden weakness if they are not used to expelling magic or if they are overcast beyond their capacity.
However, since Mana is practically everywhere here, I would assume safely that the Mana or the Ethernano in this case would fill in to substitute my fuel for my body acting like an Origin. At least coming to my magic issue…
Hmm…
Instead of imagining my body what about simply imagining my soul instead and letting it act like a portal through which mana/Ethernano passes from the inside of my body and out into my surroundings?
But in more basic terms a tap of MP or magic in this case.
Magic Power here is the life energy that dwells inside of a living being from birth which is synonymous with the soul, making it the opposite of mana, which is a magical energy that exists in the environment.
It varies from person to person in terms of quantity and size which represents the lifespan of an individual. Much like how an Origin is created for them to use.
The soul could also act as a vessel of sorts for storing mana/ethernano that flows through the soul from the environment, so having a large capacity is especially beneficial to those who can use magic.
In a sense maybe I would get from this explanation with my own logic. Using my Soul, I can have access to my Mana and use it to channel throughout the body.
By subconsciously using mana and letting it flow through their body, they imbue themselves with magic-like properties, such as enhanced speed, agility, reflexes, strength, and possibly healing.
Naturally, these boosts aren't as strong as I would hope but are nonetheless capable of allowing people to react to incoming blows with inhuman speed, delivering sword slashes with inhuman precision from awkward angles, jumping very high in the air, and dashing at almost lightning-fast reflexes.
At least I hope so anyway have to be optimistic here.
Which in some cases is similar to how Magic Power is used here in Fairy Tail can be here? At least it's not impossible for me to attempt these at least.
Smiling a bit as I glanced around the area a bit with a renewed vigor in my body, I talked to myself with hope in my voice, "Right. It's better than nothing hopefully and I do fit the criteria thinking of a way to do it right? The only way to know is to try multiple times to get it down. Not like I have much to do."
No time than the present to try right.
What do I have to lose right?
Now time to focus on my soul to see if I have it or not…
Getting to sit down crossways I began to focus the flow of my mana.
….
Ok, then Silva try visualizing the flow of mana within me acting according to my will…
…
Hot…
This is new…
I…
I… sense a burning sensation through…
Is this my soul allowing the Ethernano/Mana to pass through… it hurts?
No.
Keep focus…
Now… channel the mana…
The soul that acts as a portal… no.
A gate… imagine it.
A gate within the center of my body….
Then the burning hot sensation of my mana circulating my body…
Don't let it go over bored.
Keep a nice steady of my Gate like don't let the heat overflow...
If I do I feel like I would be in more incredible pain.
But in short terms though… go Boom, boom.
Focus is key.
Burning.
That's what it feels like going through my whole body.
Burning sensation traveling through my very core… Hot.
Just have to maintain this for the time being despite the pain.
Doing this will give me an edge even if I can cast one incantation spell. I'll do more in the future but for now, this is my only path with nothing on me to go on.
I will not die here that easily not without a way to defend or fight back.
Now just focus and do it.
And what came next is great news as I saw the notifications pop up.
I couldn't help but smile at this with pride on my face seeing it happen.
[Through specific continuous use of channeling Mana from you're Gate into your body using the Ethernano from the atmosphere you have unlocked the MP Bar!]
Bingo.
Now this is what I'm talking about now.
[Ding!]
[Due to unlocking your MP through your Gate channeling the Mana (Ethernano) in the air a skill has been created to manipulate it!]
[Skill: <Mana Manipulation> has been learned!]
Perfect!
But I can't lose focus just yet as I need to hone this skill of mine first before anything else. Practice is key. Now I just got to keep on training to get better use out of my mana coursing through my body.
/////
"Whew…"
Feeling the sense of relief fall over me as I had my Mana flow over my whole body was certainly something to behold.
Especially since I didn't think it would work but thank god that it did as I began to see my new skills at work but is draining at times.
But if I didn't, I wouldn't get this kick-ass skill in the process.
-----
<Mana Manipulation> (Active) Lv.3/100 Exp: 21%
MP Cost: Varies
Description: Magical entities are able to control mana. They can harness this type of energy from not only their own selves but also the ambiance, since everything that exists possesses vitality, as aforesaid. Rare users can create new mana from nothing. Allowing the user to manipulate their own mana, lets the user gain better control of their mana, allowing them to use it for whatever purpose they need, once skilled enough to manipulate.
-----
Nice.
These skills could really prove to come in handy in a fight especially against future enemies despite how weak I am it's best to get some weapons to rely on if the going gets tough.
Still cost me a lot of MP to simply use but it has been very helpful in training my body as well as gaining some closure me being able to use Mana in Fairy Tail without any Origins which is a welcome to me.
Now using it in combat would be the hard part.
Breathing in and out I began to rest up letting my MP be restored now that I realized that I'm probably still weak in the grand scheme of things but first I would need some time to collect myself on what to do now that I have my MP unlocked.
I have the time and resources to last me a while before I run out. I also need a place to practice in private without getting anyone's attention.
It's Gorod time.
Sigh…
I'm really going to miss some Vanoss videos as well as other famous YouTubers bless thy Blood God for the true king Techno Blade.
Very sad times it is.
But for now, I need to move on and focus on my own survival better get to work then.
After all, practice is what makes it perfect for someone like me since I can't gain strength the normal way then getting perfect control of my own skills would just be as important for me in the long run.
Everything takes its time for how long I don't know but at the very least I can be damn sure to try and surpass the people in this world and enjoy my life here to the fullest.
Till then it's time for the grind.
