The Beginning
Chapter 1
Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I own nothing , this is purely a fanfic for enjoyment. Cross-over from various games , books, anime, manga, and movies. The familiar characters you see here belongs to their respected authors and owners.
The gamer, a recent manga I have recently been addicted too. Somehow the theme where life becomes a game is appealing to me. One can only dream to have that kind of ability, but alas it is merely a wish. Where are my manners, my name is Zed, an eighteen year old collage student and somewhat of an otaku, I have black hair, brown eyes and 5'6 in height. I have a lean build with a bit of fat due to my lazy nature. I am a fan of games especially Rpg, over the years, my love for games took root in fantasy manga and novels.
These stories are a world on itself, I even tried my hand at writing fanfiction. One would assume with my vast knowledge of game resources and fantasy novels that writing a story is easy, I tell you it's not. Writing a story is a new world in itself, stories are fickle and almost the good ideas are already posted out there but nonetheless I feel like writing my stories even if they're not popular. Now enough about little old me, and let's get on with the story.
One night when a shooting star twinkled in the sky, I made a wish to be in the gamer manga with the gamer ability. It's a silly wish I know, but one can only dream, with that thought in mind, I slept in my bed.
The next morning I woke up in a different bed. I was confused with my situation when I saw a blinking screen in front of me. Curiosity got the better of me and I clicked on it, a sudden window screen appeared in front of me which shocked me. It took 5 minutes to calm down before I began to see the message in front of me.
Congratulations!
Your wish has been granted.
Your wish entails that you will be transported in 'The gamer universe'. Along with your gamer skill, we took upon ourselves to give you an apartment which is paid for the month and we also decided to give you the knowledge to understand and speak korean, that's right your in Korea.
Have a nice day.
It was a very strange message, but it was certainly informative. I decided to give it a try and accessed my stats and skills to see if it was true.

"Hmm, I wonder if I will meet Han Jee-han or Shin Sul-ill, nah, hopefully not." I thought.
Now one might think I'm all set, but I do fall into the dominion of Gia and anything that I use that will affect the world in a huge way and goodbye Zed. I also have to avoid abyss inhabitants such as human trafficking and kidnapping ability users for their energy, maybe I bit off more than I can chew.
From what I can remember, Illusion barriers can be monitored, so I have to be careful if I don't want to get bagged and tagged. Luckily I have some money provided for me, so I took my wallet and searched for a weapon store.
Did I mention that finding a weapon store is like finding a needle in a haystack?. I searched for 5 hours, I was about to give up when I heard a bunch of teens mentioned an authentic weapon store around the corner. I eagerly went to the store and browsed all their weapons. I was browsing so intently that I received a 'ping' sound.

Through continuous observation, a skill to find the target's information, [Observe], was created.

After my delicious meal, I decided to meditate for a while and then I went sleep. I slept like a log and woke up early for some major training.

My world turned to normal and the once destroyed place was now back to normal, really convenient too, that damage would have attracted unwanted attention. After my day of training, I went home and took a bath. I then cooked for dinner and did some Zen meditation for its calming effect, then went to sleep.
The next day, I went to the park and try my hand at zombies. The zombies were really nasty buggers, but with my masterful luring and unleashing my spinning compressed mana sphere, I leveled up pretty nicely. I hit the one hour mark and I am now level 3.

"Oh, big target ahoy." I said as I threw some spinning compressed mana sphere through the big target.
I only managed to throw two spinning compressed mana sphere skills which were six spheres in total and all of the damage were all critical. Unfortunately it barely give a dent so I was forced to withdrawed. That Legion Zombie is sure ugly, if you know what I mean.
"Huff, huff, huff, WTF was that!, I know the manga made it look nice, but man that shit is scary." I said panting.
After resting for a couple of minutes, I finally calmed down. After cutting out my losses I decided to use the ID escape and go home to take a bath, eat then sleep.

The next day I woke with my sore body and forced my self to do my daily morning routine and necessities including a bath, morning exercise and breakfast. After finishing my morning habbit, I decided to explore the city.
Unfortunately, my plan came to an unlucky snag as I was spotted by a police near a school and assumed that I was a student there where I strongly denied.
Unluckily for me, the same entity that sent me here got my papers done at ******** school without my knowledge. On the the bright side, my school uniform and school supplies were handed down to me, the down side is that I got saddled up with Han Jee Han's class.
"Okay class we have a new student today."
"Hello my name is Zed, please take care of me."
"Okay, you may sit beside Han Jee Han." Said the teacher.
I headed up to my new seat and made with Han Jee Han, a young man in his late teens with dark brown hair and brown eyes. He was surprisingly easily to get along with our similar hobbies with rpg games. I listened to the lessons which was lucky for me that I am familiar with it. Time passed quickly and the day was over.

As I broke out of my Illusion barrier someone saw me and said. "You!, what organization are from!."
I recognized the figure as one of my classmate, Shin Sun-il, the spiky green haired teen and the Chunbumoon's heir. I stuttered a bit, but composed myself and said "What organization?, I'm your your classmate and nope, don't belong to any organization."
"Really now?, your still not getting away, we are going to the Chunbumoon's headquarters for interrogation." Said Shin Sun-il as he dragged me away.
