Chapter 17

The hours passed and soon it was the afternoon of the next day, Jack and Emmet hadn't stopped playing games for hours on end.

With both of them being vampires, they didn't tire at all and could play through the games as much as they wanted.

Sadly it was time, Emmet had to go to high school.

"No way, you're leaving me alone, how could you!" Jack said as he pointed his finger at Emmet as if he was the traitor of the millennia.

"I'm sorry my brother in arms but I must go to the battlefield," Emmet said as he gave a mock salute to Jack.

Jack nodded sadly and watched Emmet head toward the door.

"Well i guess ill just finish Devil May Cry on my own" Jack mumbled, knowing full well it was Emmet's favorite game and that he could hear his low-voiced mumble.

Emmet turned around quickly as if his head had snapped.

"What are you talking about, no I don't allow it," Emmet said as he basically stopped his way to the cd on the floor and grabbed it, put it in its case, and started heading outside whilst he held the game in his hands.

"Hey, that's not fair," Jack said with a faux annoyed tone.

"What's not fair is not playing it with me," Emmet said and then went ahead and slammed the door behind him.

"Damn, weeb," Jack said and turned back to the consoles.

"Alright, I guess I'll just do a Pokemon speedrun whilst he's gone," Jack said as he grabbed the Nintendo DS and lay down on the bed.

At that moment something unexpected happened.

[ Ding ]

[ System has issued a Quest ]

[ Beat Pokemon Fire Red on the Nintendo DS ]

[ Requirement: Beat it before Emmet comes back from HighSchool ]

[ Reward: VideoGamer Skill Unlocked ]

[ Failure: None ]

'I can recieve quests?' Jack thought shocked as he quickly sat back up on the bed.

'It's just a useless quest but that opens up so many possibilities, what if I get a quest that increases my Charisma? That would be a life saver' Jack thought as he imagined all the possibilities and quickly got up from his bed and took the Fire Red Pokemon cartridge from the floor.

Putting it into the Nintendo DS, the game quickly turned on and Jack focused on trying to speedrun the game.

'I have about eight hours, if I do this without stopping at all, I should be able to beat the game' Jack thought and then started skipping every piece of dialogue.

The time quickly passed as he got engrossed in playing the game.

Esme had even come inside the room to see what he had been doing inside here all night and day long but had just closed the door once more when she saw Jack's focused look.

With a small chuckle, she walked back down the stairs to do whatever she did all day, Jack honestly had no idea what the woman did.

Finally, After hours of playing nonstop, Jack was in the championship battle.

There was only one Pokemon on the other side and he was about to win when he heard the sounds of car engines.

The Cullens had come back from high school.

'No god damn it, I'm not going to lose my first quest' Jack thought as he concentrated harder on the game.

Pokemon was a turned-based game however so no matter how much you wanted it to pass faster there was just no way. In a sense, you couldn't really 'lock in' in Pokemon games.

Hearing the doors of the cars open and Emmet's laughter as he got out of what Jack presumed was his Jeep only furthered Jacks's motivation.

Finally, the battle was done.

Jack had won and the ending credits scene was passing by.

He had become one, A real Pokemon champion.

Getting up on his feet, Jack released a loud shout of pure joy and quickly said.

"Quest"

A panel appeared before him quickly.

[ Quest ]

[ Beat Pokemon Fire Red on the Nintendo DS ]

[ Quest Finished ]

[ Claim Rewards ]

Quickly with no hesitation at all, Jack clicked on the calim rewards button.

[ Rewards are being given ]

[ 1% 10% 53% 76% 98% 100% ]

[ Ding ]

[ User has unlocked VideoGamer Skill ]

[ Skills tab has been unlocked fully ]

'Skills tab?' Jack's eyes shined simply at the thought of the skills tab.

Quickly he mumbled the words out.

"Skills"

Another panel appeared before him, the same color as all other panels. a blue holographic panel.

[ Skills ]

[ Vampire Observation ] [ Level 1 ]

[ VideoGamer ] [ Level 1 ]

Quickly Jack's eyes scanned over the two names in the skill tab.

'Vampire Observation is probably the evolved version of my Observation skill that I got after turning into a vampire' Jack thought and then concentrated on the second skill.

Thinking it might work, Jack thought about clicking on the VideoGamer skill.

And it did in fact work as a smaller panel appeared before him telling him information about the skill.

[ Skill Name: VideoGamer ]

[ The user's ability to play Video Games efficiently, this skill increases the user skill and technique of playing video games by a certain percentage based on this level ]

[ Skill Level: 1 ]

[ Boost: 10% Increase in Video Gaming Proficiency]

'Thats useless isnt it?' Jack thought as he stared at the skill but then his mind quickly froze.

'Wait isn't my entire life a damned video game now?' Jack thought quickly and then shook his head dejectedly.

I'll have to see if I can increase my skill level without playing any actual video games to prove that it also works on my ability as a whole. If it does then that's a pretty damn busted skill' Jack thought and then turned his head as he saw Emmet enter the room.

"You're still playing games?" Emmet asked shocked but then a large smile appeared on his expression.

"From now on, you're the only brother I have," Emmet said seriously.
