《The Games That Bind Us》Chapter 5 - The difference between powered and overpowered

Advertisement

If one were to enter my room right at this moment, the first thing you would think is, that is one expensive looking door handle. then you would be thinking what the hell happened here? A amazing strong handsome man was lying face buried half way into the ground and a Evil succubus standing on his head with anger in her eyes holding a TV remote and a console controller?

well let me tell you how I got in that predicament, hopefully while I explain my HP does not reach 0. You see, The Headmaster left use some games in our room, all of them 2 player VS fighting games. and that is where it all began.

"I want to play this one, no wait, THIS ONE!!!" Kate said while choosing the game, I let her choose knowing the result either way, Even if I try and fail someone new to games cant beat someone who lives his life as a game. Or so I thought.

We insert the chosen game and sit back and get ready to play, we both pick out characters and look at the move sets. then it shows a 2D stage with out chosen character on the stage facing each other. I was a Ninja character with a few moves that let me warp behind my opponent and back stab/slash, Kate was a female character who had a few damage bonuses and combo attacks. with the stage set we begin.

I go for a high kick but she skilfully ducks and then uses a combo. before my health is gone I use a combo breaker and then go to back stab, she must have known because she was ready and evades my attack while using a dive kick on my face. KO is displayed on the screen... I'm not sure what hurt more, the fact Kate was now laughing at me, or the fact I could not do anything, and I am the gamer while she is a beginner. is this what they call beginners luck?

"Wow, that was fun, you know for a gamer I would have thought you would be good at... I don't know, GAMES maybe?" she said in a joking voice still laughing. strange, I have not been feeling much killing intent from her for a while now. I am worried but when she laughs she looks... Cute?

"Rematch?" I ask while looking at the blue box in front of my face.

[A Skill Has Been Created Through A special Action: Gaming. Gaming allows you to play games, the higher the skill level the better at games you become]

"Ok but if it is anything like last time you wont win. HA!" Kate said with pride looking down on me.

The next match starts and we play as the same character. and then but a moment later I am using My characters finisher combo and it is done... Kate looked on in shock. the tables have turned, you may be skilled but not as skilled as me... or my skills?

"REMATCH" Kate screamed so loud I think the headmaster could hear from his office. And on top of that my detect bloodlust was just activated by kate. wow it was just one match...

(38 matches later)

"GRAAAAAAAA" Kate screamed at another loss. that makes 39 consecutive losses. I almost feel sorry for her before I start feeling sorry for me.

"How?" Kate asks with enough bloodlust that it could kill a pigeon.

After the first match I developed a gaming Skill that let me play games. the skill has since levelled up 9 times" I answer honestly really wishing I did not...

"You..." Kate said as a dark aura appeared around her.

[Detect Bloodlust has evolved so you can now see the bloodlust as requirements have been met: Have someone be so angry with you their aura Physically shows it, this allows you to see the reason behind the bloodlust]

"I know what you may be thinking, do I kill him or torture him? but the best option for the both of us would be just accept that what's done is done and..." I was rudly interrupted and punched across the floor and she walked over slowly, I begin to crawl away towards the door however it was to late, she grabbed my head and buried it into the ground and stood on it.

"Any last words?" Kate asks with anger?

"Mumumumuohgo" Muffled noises because my head was in the ground. to this she lifts my head out of the ground and waits for my last words.

"I said Like hell im dying that easily" as I say that I break out of her grip and bolt out of the door running very fast

"so what did you do this time?" Ruby asks like she came out of nowhere? yep that is one weird power she has. I now see her as just an average girl. black hair that drops to her shoulders and a face that isn't hard to look at but nothing to much either. however her power at the top of its effect was not really her so I cant expect that face. and with the title heart breaker I wonder if that is her heart included?

"I Played a few matches in a game against Kate and lost the first time before getting 39 consecutive wins thanks to my ability. Nice chatting however I got to go" I say getting ready to run faster

"TO LATE" Kate says while punching me out of the building. i grab on to the outside and climb down. then look on in fear as she shows the reason behind her title.

[The Phoenix Of The Sky]

[Level ???]

[Kate White]

She had wings of FIRE!!! cool if it wasn't used against me. all I know is this is going to hurt.

while returning to the room I look at the new blue boxes.

[A Skill Has Been Created Through A Special Action: Fire Resistance. allowing you to take less damage caused by fire. take 5 damage less per second from fire or burn Debuffs]

[A Skill Has Been Created Through A Special Action: Fire Magic. allows you to use fire magic]

the second skills description was the most helpful... however I think The first skill will reach max level before the second hist level 2. my ability makes it slightly possible to survive this. I wonder. is my ability to powerful? or not powerful enough? sometimes it makes me to strong like the 39 consecutive wins however sometimes not strong enough. as my health keeps getting down to 1 HP. no wait, this time I am on 2 HP. must be a new record. ow wait I forgot something VERY IMPORTANT

"Ok, so why is there only one bed?" I ask looking at the sleeping room. in the room there is 1 huge bed... so... urm... Probably should have waited until I had some health before asking such a dangerous question to Kate.

"one bed? that cant be right?" Kate enters the room as well

"Ok so there is only one bed..." Kate says observing the situation

we look at each other. and as I start to detect a small amount of bloodlust I walk into the main room and make my self comfy on the sofa. I my not need sleep However it recovers all my health and Mana so I can keep my health and Mana at full for the start of an new day.

"Wait are you sure, it will be hard to get to sleep" Kate says almost worried about me.

"I don't need sleep anyway, even when I do I don't dream so the only reason I do it to fully recover my health and Mana" I say honestly, hoping this resolves the situation.

"you don't need sleep? that has to be a Lie. Even father has to rest sometimes" She says comparing me to the Headmaster... THAT MONSTER CAN SLEEP??? I thought he just had infinite energy since the day he pooped into existence and started haunting the nightmares of little kids

"No, you rest while I remain here. it is simple and resolves the situation without me getting my health dropped to near 0. There is nothing to worry about" I say while sending calming Mana at her and a huge burst.

[A Skill has been Created Through A Special Action: Sleep Wave. Puts relaxed and exhausted targets to sleep]

I quickly move to catch her and then gently put her in the bed, then walk out the room

"good night" I say just before the door shuts.

"AWWW. you were not supposed to do that, there was one bed for a reason." the headmaster whispered into my ear. what is with people and appearing out of nowhere,

"Let me help" he said while hitting me on the back of the head leaving me knocked out.everything went dark. OK that settles it, The Headmaster is over powered, Kate is powered? and I am stuck in the gap between powered and over powered. right now remaining with conscious thought is something I call sleep, even when sleeping all I get is this, darkness and conscious thought. Guess I just wait until wake up, wonder what he meant by "Let me help out" and "you were not supposed to do that"? All questions for another time, I have to get busy thinking about better ways to level up and fast. maybe weighted training gear?
