章 1: Chapter 1 - A Strange Accident
[Author's Note:
Welcome to my new story. For those wondering, no, this does not mean I'm canceling the duel academy story. I just had a lot of ideas for this one and started writing them as well. I hope you enjoy]
===============================
"Come on…" Micro growled as he tinkered with his machine.
The 15 year old boy was always tinkering with some form of machine in his basement lab. His black, neon blue striped hair was slick with sweat. He blinked the salty liquid from his blue eyes as some slipped behind his glasses. He had his blue button up shirt undone revealing a white undershirt, and his black jeans went down to his matching black sneakers.
"One….last...wire…" He fitted another wire in place and closed the panel. His latest invention looked a bit like a cage with screens between the bars that was hooked up to his game system. In the middle hanging down above a strange treadmill like stand on a wire was a visor. Micro grinned at his latest creation. It all started when he and his friends were playing a video game.
A Week Ago
"Oh come on!" Spike said. "There's no way you could've beaten me that easily!" The green haired boy was complaining about how Micro just sent his Mii Fighter flying off the map.
"Hey no need to be upset Spike," said Sugar, a boy with red and white peppermint swirl styled hair. "Here, have some chocolate." Just when the boy was handing his friend a candy bar, Marth on screen got the smash ball and critical hit Kirby off the map for game. "...Not cool man."
"Sorry," Micro cracked up. "All's fair in Smash Bros war." The friends laughed as they set up the next game.
"You ever wonder what it would be like to actually be in the game?" Sugar asked as he picked Greninja.
"You mean like those VR machines?" Spike responded.
"Kinda but I mean more realistic. Something where you actually perform the movements. If you see an attack coming you can slide out of the way or something like that."
"Well, that does sound fun, but I doubt it can happen. I bet even Micro here wouldn't be able to pull something like that off." Micro chuckled at that, but inside he was thinking about how to make that possible.
(Present Day)
"Well," he said drying his head of sweat with a towel. "Time to test this out."
He opened the door to the cage and made his way toward the center before grabbing his helmet. He slowly lowered it on to his head and flipped the switch on the side. Suddenly, the screens all started to flick on and the world around Micro turned black for a moment before stat screens started popping up around him. With a grin Micro chose the default option and was surprised that the stats looked different from when he normally played the game.
"Huh...I'll have to look into that."
After confirming the stats, he found himself in a castle, a sword in hand. Micro looked down at his hand and was shocked to find he actually felt the metal in his hand. With a slight gulp, he raised the blade and set it against his hand. He lightly squeezed the blade enough to normally break skin. No blood came out. He felt no pain whatsoever. To quickly check that he was truly ok he raised his hand to his lips and licked where he "cut". No blood.
"YES!" He managed to get the visor to stimulate feeling but not pain. Micro began walking around a bit, the "treadmill" beneath him following his movement and speed. "That goes to show you never underestimate what I can do."
Micro couldn't help but jump up in celebration, which turned out to not be such a good idea. When he came down on the treadmill, his foot landed awkwardly causing him to tumble down like a ton of bricks, pulling his visor down off the cords.
"AAAHHHHH!!!!" Micro cried in pain as the helmet sparked and cracked off his head as he hit the ground. The screens all went dark as Micro groaned on the floor.
A few minutes later he managed to pull himself off the ground.
"Ok...note to self...create more stable platform for game chamber."
"Micro," his mother's voice came from upstairs. "Are you ok down there?"
"Yes mom," he called back. "Just tripped."
"Well it's time for a break. Your friends are here. And no more games today! You spent enough time inside this past week!" Micro rolled his eyes and pulled himself up. That was when he saw the blue screen in front of him.

"What the heck?" Micro said.
"MICRO!" his mom shouted. The quest screen began flashing. Micro realized that whatever was happening, his time for choosing was almost out. He quickly hit yes as he bolted from the basement.
"Hey man," Spike said as Micro opened the door. He was wearing his typical jeans with an unzipped purple hoodie over a green shirt while their other friend, Sugar wore a red jacket over a white muscle shirt and red pants. "What do you want to do today?"
"Um…" Micro couldn't think straight. "I...I'm not sure." He looked above his friend's heads.
Sugar Rush
(Sweet Tooth Heir)
Lv5
Spike Drago
(Draco Kin)
Lv20
"Well," Sugar said. "We could always go to the new Fun Zone. They opened it up just last week and I've been dying to head there." Spike agreed and Micro just smiled and nodded, hopping on his bike to follow the others.
'Levels...Quests...what on earth does that mean? And my friends…' he looks up at their titles and levels. 'Sweet Tooth Heir makes sense since he is set to take control of his family's candy company, but what does Draco Kin mean? And why is his level four times Sugar's?' He had to stop himself from crashing his bike as two screens popped up in front of him.
Skill Created!
Biking (LV 1)
The ability to use a bike. Skill and speed is that of an casual biker.
Ping!
Due to biking workout, you have gained 1 VIT.
Micro swiped away the screens. Whatever was going on he couldn't read them and bike at the same time.
Micro and his friends arrived at the Fun Zone and locked their bikes to the bike rack outside. Micro excused himself to the restroom and once making sure he was the only one inside he locked the door and stood in front of the mirror. Above his own head, he saw...
Micro Chip
(The Gamer)
Lv5
"So I'm labeled now to huh?" He took a deep breath to settle his nerves. It wouldn't due to start ranting and raving about this sort of thing only to be locked up in a padded room.
Ping!
For your calm and rational thinking, you've gained 1 WIS!
Micro stared at the text box before him remembering some of the screens that popped up while he was biking.
'So...this comes with stats? Like a…' His eyes shot toward the title below his name. 'Like a game.'
"Stats," he said aloud. Suddenly a new screen appeared before him.
Micro Chip
Lv5
HP(150/150)
MP(Locked)
STR 8
VIT 6
DEX 12
INT 30
WIS 13
LUK 3
CHA 7
'MP must be Magic Points, but it's locked for some reason. Strength, Vitality, Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, Luck, and I guess Charm or Charisma?" Micro looked over his stats and nodded. "These are the same as what appeared when I started the game at home. My INT is extremely high compared to my other stats, but that's probably because of all my studies."
Ping!
For your logical thinking, you've gained 1 WIS!
"And apparently I can grow my stats through different actions. Well...I guess I have no choice but to admit it…My life is a game." He took another deep breath before he realized something. "I should be panicking more. There is no way I should be able to stay this calm in this type of situation. Something about this must be keeping me calm…"
On a whim, he decided to try something else.
"Skills!" A box with windows popped up with other symbols inside. The biking skill was there, but next to it were two others, as well as a few boxes that seemed covered in shadows. Micro ignored those for now and looked at the other two that he could read.
Gamer's Mind (LV MAX)
Allows one to keep calm and think things through no matter the situation.
Gamer's Body (LV MAX)
Allows the user to live their life like a video game. They will take no physical damage, instead will only take damage to their HP.
"Well that explains how calm I feel." He decided he spent enough time in the restroom. He had to get back to his friends before they started to worry. The rest of this could be figured out later
