1 Ok, Wtf

*Yawn*

(You have slept in a bed, HP and CP fully restored)

Naruto absent-mindedly waved away the blue box and sat up in his bed

He began doing his morning routine, as usual, shower, breakfast, brush his teeth, put on his beautiful orange jacket alongside his goggles

What wasn't ordinary was what he saw when he looked in the mirror

Above his head, he could see (Uzumaki Naruto - Academy Student - Lvl 5) in a blue box

Naruto rubbed his eyes, but it was still there

''Huh?'' He rubbed his eyes again but it was still there

Naruto started to panic a little bit

He lifted his arm up to touch it but his hand just goes through it

-Is this some sort of genjutsu?-

Even with his constant sleeping during class, he at least remembered how to dispel a genjutsu

As such, he put his hands together ''Kai!''

.

.

.

But it was still there

So Naruto tried again ''Kai!''

It didn't go away.

-It's just a blue box, maybe it will go away on its own- Naruto decided in his mind as he moved to walk out of his apartment. Stepping outside onto his balcony, he stopped dead in his tracks when he saw blue boxes on every single person's head

Naruto decided to pinch himself ''Ow''

It wasn't a dream

''What the hell!'' He yelled, to the annoyance of everyone around him

(It seems you are confused, would you like to open the Help menu? Y/N)

-I'm hallucinating, hallucinating blue boxes appearing in front of me-

But he decides -Screw it- and tries to press Y, causing a much bigger blue box to appear in front of him

(Hello! You have been chosen to be The Gamer of this world!)

Utterly perplexed, Naruto keeps reading

(The Gamer is an ability that allows you to view life as if it were a video game!)

''What's a video game?'' Naruto asks out loud but doesn't get an answer. He does however get an answer when he read further

(Simply put, turns your life into text and numbers, allowing you to view your Lifeforce (Known as HP) as a number and other values such as your strength, speed, and luck)

Naruto began to understand the tiniest of bits

(To see your values, say 'Status' in your mind or out loud to view them)

-Wait, it can read my mind? Uh, Status?- A window popped up

-Hey! These clothes look good! And what's up with these question marks?- Naruto stubbornly thought

He tapped the ??? Ability

(???)

(Certain information is not known)

-Ook? That's weird- Naruto then tapped on Hideous clothing

(Hideous clothing)

Your clothing looks terrible and is in a bright color

-25% Stealth

-My jumpsuit is cool...- Naruto sulked

He then proceeded to tap on the Malnourished status effect

-Lies! Ramen is the food of the gods! But... I don't wanna be short either...Maybe one less-

Naruto was getting really pissed off at this thing, but before he could do anything

''Crap!'' Naruto yelled as he began rushing off, barely noticing the timer in the corner of his vision counting down from ten minutes

-9 minutes and 59 seconds later-

''Naruto Uzu-'' Iruka began but had to stop since

''HERE!'' Naruto yelled as he opened the door, panting

Iruka was surprised by the sudden appearance of Naruto

''And without a second to spare, sit down Naruto'' Iruka said to the blond

Naruto caught his breath and sat down, hearing a *ding* sound through his head alongside a window popping up

(Quest completed! Don't be late!)

Main quest: Accomplished, +100 EXP + 25 EXP (Title Bonus)

-What's EXP?- Naruto thought, confused, and went to scroll through the Help menu

(EXP, aka Experience Points, are needed to level up, leveling up giving you better values (aka stats))

Amount EXP needed for level up: 425

-So if I get that much uh, EXP, ill get stronger? Awesome!-

(For learning a simple concept, your INT has increased by one!)

.

.

.

Naruto was very pissed off -I'm not that dumb!- He yelled in his mind

-Whatever- He decides to keep reading the Help menu -Still expecting to wake up any second now...-

(Every person is given 10 values/stats, HP, CP, STR, END, VIT, DEX, INT, WIS, CHAR, and LUC)

HP is how much damage you can take before you become unconscious or die

CP is how much Chakra you have

STR (Strength) is your physical power and how heavy of a thing you can lift

END (Endurance) is your physical defense, more endurance means less damage taken and increased stamina.

VIT (Vitality) is how healthy you are and your lifespan (VIT only increases your lifespan, people with 0 VIT would still be able to live a human lifespan, but only if they are very very lucky since they wouldn't be able to take a hit at all). VIT and INT determine your chakra pool and potency. END and VIT determine your HP.

DEX (Dexterity) is how fast you move, your reflexes, and your reaction speed

INT (Intelligence) is your ability to memorize and learn information

WIS (Wisdom) is your common sense, your smart, and how well you can control your chakra

CHAR (Charisma) is your ability to rally or persuade others

LUC (Luck) is your chances in something such as gambling and loot

-That was a lot of information to process... will have to re-read it but *yawn* I think I'm gonna take a nap first- Naruto thought as he dozed off

(A/N Power stones, gimme)
