《The Legendary Gamer》The Legendary Gamer - Chapter 1 (Am I OP?)
Advertisement
Greg looked at the window in front of his eyes, not sure what to think about it. Something deep down told him that this would change his life, but how he did not know how these changes would affect him personally. He could tell one thing though, his parents were both hiding something; at the very least his father was hiding something, his side of the family constantly seemed to think that he was less than them because of something. He investigated the window carefully, seeing it semi-transparent with a strangely ghost like text made Gregory wonder about it. This was like a notification in a game, did this mean there was also a tutorial regarding this new skill like games often have? He looked at the skill box one more time to see if he would find anything new about it.
An addiction to games and your two families lineage's have given you a unique ability. You are no longer the sum of their parts, but greater. You are a "LEGENDARY GAMER."
He thought the dismiss to see if that would work to remove the window from his sight and smiled when it did. Seems I can figure out the ability with relative ease, probably due to my current gaming knowledge and skills. He thought the word tutorial, and a message came up in front of him. This could help, but I am not sure if I really need it. He looked at the message in front of him.
Commence tutorial? Upon commencement, only completion will prevent new messages from appearing. There is no way to turn of the tutorial, but it can be begun at any time, and will only go over new information.YESNO
It seems that it would be better to do what I can without the tutorial before beginning, as there are no drawbacks to starting later and I save myself unnecessary instructions by doing what I can without it first. Not to mention time, which is the most limited resource of all. He thought "NO" to the screen, and it vanished before his eyes. Seems everything is mentally controlled. It seems strange though that it would have buttons like this when it is mentally controlled. I wonder if there are certain requirements for the mental control. He then thought "Status Menu." and a screen popped up in front of him showing a full set of information on his status.
NAMEGREGORY NEAL FROSTCLASS/CLASSESTHE LEGENDARY GAMER, LEGENDARY GREAT SAGE, LEGENDARY LUCK MASTERTITLENOVICELEVEL1HEALTH90/90MANA3200/3200STAMINA150/150STR12VIT9AGI15INT160WIS190LUK517
Gregory's jaw nearly dropped to the floor upon viewing the status menu, which explained a few things but left more questions than answers. Well, explains why my father's family expected so much of me, I must be a super genius by conventional standards. I would be anyways if I tried anything but video games when I was at home. I bet my father's entire family is made up of legendary great sages, but what does that even mean? On the other hand, I should check my mother's status, if I can anyways. I bet she has some part of this too, which would mean the legendary luck master. As he finished thinking he thought about description on the two classes he guessed his parents had handed down to him, and realized that both were extremely powerful. The legendary great sage did not set any numbers in particular, but mentioned giving massive intelligence and wisdom, combining to mean incredibly powerful active and passive spells. It also mentioned that it would passively raise them extra based upon actions, which meant they would be easier to train for their value than other stats. Legendary luck master was very unique though, saying that it could only be passed down to one linear descendant, and that it added the cumulative base luck of every past bearer.

I have been blessed it seems, but at the same time, I have a bad feeling that I will be in much more danger due to this awakening of mine. I feel like there is incalculable danger around every corner, and that it will lead me to a quick death even with the skills I have. The only benefit seems to be that I am very low leveled and should be able to sneak under the radar until I have leveled up a few times. He then thought to open the skill list, which launched a new window next to the status menu. He also thought to open descriptions for each skill, as none had them currently open.
SKILLGAMER'S GIFTPASSIVEThis skill grants the user a game-like interface and unique benefits to the different status'. As the world is your game, and your body the character, your mind is on a different plane and is immune to mental assaults and status effects.LEVEL = MAXCOST = N/ASKILLREVEALACTIVEUsing this skill reveals the information around you, the higher the level, the more you discover.

SKILLLUCKY FINDPASSIVEIncreases the chance to find top quality gear for the creature hunted equal to 1%/10 LUK. This chance applies to all top quality item drops from the hunted creature. This can apply to as many drops as the top quality list contains. Also applies to lower drop qualities multiplying by 2 for every level down as long as the item is not obtained. Once an item is obtained, luck will be based off the stat alone.LEVEL = MAXCOST = N/A
SKILLICE ELEMENTAL MASTERY[INTERMEDIATE]PASSIVEFamily ties or great skill are the only ways to obtain this ability. It grants the ability to learn all ice spells, and use spells of the intermediate level or lower with a 10X power boost.LEVEL = 1COST = N/A

Non-elemental magics casted by the user are 10X more powerful if at the Intermediate level or below. Also allows the user to channel and control the mana in their body for use in creating and altering spells, so long as the capacity to perform the created spell is there.LEVEL = 1COST = N/A
SKILLMARTIAL ARTS MASTERY[BEGINNER]PASSIVEThe user is capable of learning martial arts easily, but can only become skilled to an average degree in any martial arts they learn. Speed and fluidity of martial arts increase with skill.LEVEL = 3COST = N/A
Viewing this list was almost as shocking to him as was the status menu, as it contained some very powerful abilities. The only problem for him was not knowing how to use any of the passive skills to his benefit, since he had only guesses at how to do anything. Thinking "close all," the two windows before him closed and he gave a brief smile knowing that he could handle this for now. Gregory knew that he had to learn how to use all of the passive skills, and create at least some combat magic skills since those would be his greatest weapons. First though, he decided to head downstairs and see if he could use the reveal skill to show his mother's stats. Running down the stairs, he went to the kitchen to test the one skill he knew he could use. He looked at his mother and thought "reveal" it showed her stats, many of them around the 10-15 range, with the exception of luck. It was off the charts, reaching all the way up to 502. It also revealed that she had the legendary luck master class underneath her name. I thought so, mom is nowhere near normal. At least not by the way a normal person would consider it, this would however explain why she never seemed to get ill or hurt herself in the kitchen like so many others he had seen working in a kitchen.
Before heading upstairs, Gregory grabbed a plate and put one of the lobster that had been prepared for dinner on it. He brought it upstairs with him to prevent his mother from asking why he came downstairs for no apparent reason. I will need to work on training some skills, but I have no idea where I can do that, or how I should do it. If I do them out in the open, somebody is sure to find out. Doing them in the house though would lead to mom find out, and that is almost worse yet. Perhaps the game system can generate a dungeon or training grounds for me to use. That will need to wait for tomorrow though, tonight I need to rest and think on what these new skills and powers will mean for me. Tomorrow, I will definitely train and discover just what I am capable of. Perhaps I will even activate the tutorial to see what it can do for me. He thought only about his day of training tomorrow, not at all thinking about the games he had been so previously obsessed with and enamored by. He knew that the next day was a Saturday and it meant a full day of training his new found abilities, abilities that left his games in the dust.

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend

Synopsis: George Young used to play Dream World, the world's most popular VRMMO...until he was betrayed by his own guild member. He was just a less-than-mediocre player, but he held valuable items. Players from all over came and PKed him for those precious items, and eventually, he lost everything. He's now a miserable old bum, living a stale day, one after another, unenthused with the life around him. But one day, he stumbles into a Youtube video where a strange man claims to have made the greatest VRMMO ever: Second World. Reluctant, he decides to try this new game. Upon entering the game, he discovers that there are many things that set it apart from the VRMMOs he's played. While many players find it incredibly boring after their first day of playing, he remains determined. And so, headstrong, he plays through this strange, new game. The question now remains: Will George redeem himself in this 'Second World'? But more importantly: What kind of journey will this 'Second World' take him on?

Thank you for understanding. About Chapter Releases: Chapters should be about 2,000 - 3,000+ words (on average). Patreon: I would love to be doing this full-time. If I can support myself through writing, I'll be writing full-time. So, if you enjoy Second World and would like to support it, pledge your support at my Patreon.
