Chapter 2 – Game Life
[8 years later]
It had been eight years since the beginning of his new life/game.
In the beginning Harry couldn't see anything different from his first life and his second until the age of 5 when his aunt and uncle the first time round started to make him do the cooking and the cleaning for the family. Another thing that was different was the fact that he didn't sleep in the cupboard under the stairs which he was thankful for.
Currently he was walking home from his primary school in surrey. Once he was home, he went into his room and walked over to his table to start doing his homework then he saw on his table was a book that he had completely forgotten about; it was the manual for the game. As he put his bag down he picked up the book and opened it to see that there was the red button inside, so as told by the two guys in the grey room he pressed it and as they said the world froze around him, remembering what to do next was simple.
"Main Menu" Harry spoke with authority, as he finished speaking he found himself in the grey room once again. It was quieter than last time as he was about to speak again a loud voice broke the silence and that made Harry nearly jump out of his skin.
"FINALLY! Took you long enough" a voice yelled then mumbled the last part
As Harry spun around to see the person that yelled, his eyes nearly popped out of his skull when he saw a man wearing a black hoodie who had short spiked reddish brown hair and dark blue / green eyes
Once he got over his shock he yelled back in confusion "SHADOW what you doing here?"
Shadow sighed as he walked over to Harry and lead the young Harry off to a door "Skyline and I have been waiting for you since you chose to have a tutorial"
As they entered the room Harry saw that Skyline was still the same as before pale with blonde hair that reached to the back of his neck and dim blue eyes. When he saw Harry he speak "Welcome Harry, glad that you could join us"
"What do you mean?"
"Well Harry my Friend this is your tutorial" Shadow says coming up and wrapping an arm around Harry's shoulders.
"Tutorial?" Harry asks while thinking how it lead to this
"You really don't recall do you" Skyline says rubbing his temples. "You really need to be more perspective".
Harry looks at Skyline then Shadow "I still have no idea what you're talking about"
Skyline summons a chair and sits down while pondering what to say. "Well, when you had changed your settings, you said yes to the tutorial"
"So that's what we're going to do Harry" Shadow says giving no time for Harry to respond dragged him into another room.
The room changes into an old 1950's interrogation room complete with a table and chairs also it was in black and white colouring for the full feeling of the era.
"Take a seat Mister Potter" Shadow says on the other side of the table being0 suddenly serious. "Please tell me where you were the night of April 1st at 3pm?"
"Uh in the kitchen?" Harry says not only confused about the sudden change of room but also trying to answer his weird question.
"Hmm ok" Shadow summons his own seat facing Harry across the table
"Wait where did you get the glasses?" Harry says noticing the new piece spectacles on his face
"I will be the one to ask the questions Mr Potter!" Shadow said as he slammed his hand on the table readjusting his seat "now then, do you know how Dumbledore gets his eyes to sparkle" Shadow still says with a serious tone
As Harry is about to say no, he heard a breaking sound. He turns around only to see Skyline with a tick mark above his left eye "you were supposed to tell him what we are teaching him not questioning him under a microscope".
"Microscope? What microscope? I'm just yelling at him because I just want to know about dumbles twinkle. I want to know since it's not bloody natural." Shadow Confessed in confusion
Before Harry can blink he sees Skyline throwing Shadow through the wall with only an extra tick mark above his head.
"Come on Harry lets teach you about something else until his sanity returns" Skyline says as he walks past noticeably trying to calm down
They come back into the normal grey room and notice the door to the room they were in just moments ago looking destroyed and he saw a few destroyed heavy duty locks on the floor.
"Right then now let's try to actually learn something" Skyline says whilst thinking what to teach Harry.
"What's with the locks?" Harry asked in confusion since the locks look strong enough to keep even an elephant out.
"Shadow wanted to keep me out so I destroyed them to get into the room" He informed Harry in a tone that sounded like he was talking about the weather.
Harry was shock and then looked at the room wonders if Shadows still unconscious?
"So anyway I think it was best if we start with something simple such as how to level up."
"Ok"
"So like any normal game that involves a level system, your abilities are separated into diffident sections"
"Ok so what are my stats then?"
"Well let's take a look"
Click as Skyline clicked his fingers a board appeared out of thin air

"As you can see there are three main sections Stats, Skills and Perks, each section will be covered in turn" Skyline told Harry "now any questions?"
"Um….what does it mean by Magical Alignment"
"Magical Alignment is what side your magical power is leaning towards since some perks have extra abilities if your magic goes one way or the other, as you can see its neutral at the moment don't worry it will be covered more later"
"Alright"
"Now there are 7 different stats that effect your overall standing they are Magic, Wisdom, Attack, Defence, Charisma, Courage and Cunning", "each one is pretty much self-explanatory, also remember this, that when you level up you can upgrade your Skills each level, your Stats every Even Numbered level and the Perks can be gained every Three Levels"
"Ok but how will I upgrade my Skills and Stats?"
"Well that's simple you get 5 points to spend on the stats and 5 points to spend on the skills, Simple see"
As Skyline finished the door to the room opened and Shadow walked in, clicking his neck and yawning as if he had just work up from a nap.
"Ahhh that was a great nap" Shadow finishes with a yawn
"About time you woke up, we are getting to your part of the tutorial" Skyline said as he patted his friends back trying to keep him awake.
"OW stop it" Shadow says waking up "damn it can't you let me wake up on my own"
"You can wake up on your own when you're not wasting other people's time" Skyline finishes and summons a few chairs.
"Yeah yeah" Shadow mumbled as he lay down on a sofa he had summoned "Troublesome Blonde"
"OI! Don't fall back to sleep"
"Fine Fine….ok Harry next we're going to talk about Skills and Perks since their the two things I know the most about in the game" once he finished speaking he sat back up and looked Harry in the eye
"Ok" Harry nodded whilst wondering how Shadow looked more tried then before.
"Right, the skills are based on 12 different subjects all but three are subjects at Hogwarts such as Potions, Charms and Runes. Following so far?"
"Yes I am but what are the three that aren't a subject? And why are they based on subjects at Hogwarts?"
"In order of asking, the three are Flying, Magical Knowledge and Mind Magic, and we know that Flying is taught to first years but that's about it." Shadow informed Harry before he could ask the next question on his lips about flying. "We based them on the lessons at Hogwarts since we believed that it would be easier for you to understand. Now before we move on to perks, is there any questions?"
"Only one, will my stats and skills need to be a certain level for anything?"
"Yes they will but mainly for the perks as well as how well you do in class"
"Perks are different things that affect the game in world, I'm going to use a few perks to make my point alright"
"Ok"
Clear throat "alright the first one I'm going to show you is the Lady Killer Perk"
Click
Next to Shadow a small board that had writing slowly forming on the board. It read

"As you can see this perk works on four different levels the first level allows you to sway normal woman like your classmates or a shop assistant. The next level works on strict women like Professor McGonagall and Mrs Weasley, the third level works on crazy women who are fanatical to other like Bellatrix LaStrange and finally the last level works on women who have Veela blood in their veins like Fleur. Also this isn't the full information for it since you'll need to see how to unlock the other levels. So any questions for this perk? "
"Not really. It pretty much easy to understand" Harry answered whilst thinking how useful the perk could be in life.
"Next is a perk you already have the Parseltongue perk. Now any questions before I move on?"
"Why do I already have that perk?"
"You were born with it that's why but it's only at level 1"

Click
The board next to Shadow changed the writing now read
"This is one of my personal inputs as well as allows me to introduce Magical Alignment perks, you with me so far" Shadow questioned Harry.
Harry nodded as he was letting the information sink in most of it was easy to understand
"Level 1 allows you to control small to medium sized inanimate objects such as chairs, tables etc., Level 2 allows you to control large objects like cars, buses etc. also it allows you to control the bodies of weak-willed people it allows you to move them against they will but they know what they are doing, Level 3 you can use the puppet strings as a weapon and your control increase to middle level of people like Hermiore, Level 4 you can control Strong-Willed like Dumbledore and Snape and you can move objects that are made of a huge mass like buildings, statues etc." Shadow took a deep breath "alright now we begin with the Magical Alignment. The Alignment can be in three different directions it can be more Light, Neutral and Dark. Light is if you do more good deeds no easy shit like help an old lady across the road or safe a cat from a tree but more stuff like save someone's life, Neutral is normal basically going through life doing the bare minimum or doing enough good and bad deeds to make everything even out and lastly is Dark is the opposite of Light were you do more evil deeds like killing an innocent person." Here Shadow paused and looked at Harry with a serious look "Remember Harry this famous phase The Road to Hell is paved with Good Intentions"
Harry nodded since he knew that something good to one is bad to another.
"Now Puppetry has a Dark Perk it similar to the control power but it allows you have complete control over them in their Mind and Body. Now we move on to the last perk I wish to tell you about before Skyline take over to talk to you"
Click
The board next to Shadow changed the writing now read
Technomancy
Underneath the title was an image of a cartoony Harry surrounded with scrap metal and tools
[Level 1 – allows electronics to work within magic areas]
[Level 2 – allow user to make automatons and can understand technologies with a single touch]
[Level 3 – allows user understand technologies on a more in-depth level + allows user to create larger automatons]
[Level 4 – allows the user to become a living weapon]
"This perk was something that Skyline came up with its called Technomancy. The First level allows electronics to work around magic; the second level allows you to create Automatons and can understand technologies at a basic level with a single touch such as phones and household appliances. Level 3 allows you to understand technologies on a more in-depth level, like how it is made, the parts needed, how it can be used. It also works on weaponry like guns, tanks etc. the final ability of this level is that you can make create larger automatons which we call Golems to make things easier also the Final level allows you to become a weapon such as you can remove your hand and make the underneath a Gatling-Gun but to do this you need to know the weapon at its core"
Once they were done Shadow snapped his fingers again and called Skyline back in to the room.
"Alright Skyline it's your turn." Shadow spoke to Skyline
Skyline nodded and turned to Harry
"Now then, let's talk about basic controls" Skyline says walking to Harry and grabbing the sign.
Skyline squashed and stretches the board and then lets it bounce back up into a bigger board "ahh that's better" Skyline says as he summons two more chairs.
"If this is about walking or breathing I know how to do that already" Harry says looking up at the board and causing Skyline to deadpan.
"We may not look smart but bloody hell Harry give us some credit" Skyline says trying get to the topic at hand. "Anyway back to controls, since you know how to 'walk and breath', I'm gonna teach you how to gain experience."
Harry looks up at the board noticing multiple images.
"Now as you can see you can gain experience through knowledge and duelling" Skyline says creating an orb in his hands.
"How come I have to gain experience through knowledge?" Harry says trying to figure out how to gain experience.
Shadow steps in and says "That is because you're going to school not going to war"
"Ok" Harry says sitting back down in his seat "hey wait what's with the orb?"
Shadow walks over and grabs some crisps out of the orb
"Hey leave my crisps alone" Skyline says moving the orb out Shadows grasp.
Shadow then turns to Harry and handed him the pack of crisps from his hand "He's hungry, so he summoned food for himself. And don't ask about why it's an orb."
Harry bites into one "salt and vinegar?"
"Yeah why not" Skyline says as he walks over closing the orb. "Anyway back to the basics"
"But really anything you do will give you experience, like cooking or studying and duelling. The ones that tend to give off the most experience is studying and duelling."
"So you better be a good shot" Shadow told Harry whilst pulling a pizza slice from a triangle he made appear like the orb
Skyline sighs before saying "that's really it about the basic controls so Shadow you wanna take over here?"
"Alright, I think it's time you levelled up" Shadow told Harry
"Alright, but how do I do that?"
"Well on the main board with your stats on at the bottom it says you are to click level up"
Harry walked over to the board and saw the button, before Harry could press it Skylines voice broke the quiet atmosphere
"Remember that once you finished levelling up you can't change any of your Stats, Skills or Perks. So choose wisely" Skyline informed Harry in serious voice
Harry's stats now read like this

As Harry finished upgrading his stats he waved to Shadow and Skyline as he exited the main menu. He found himself re-entering his bedroom from the grey world he shakes his whole body like a Wet dog and says "man I hate teleporting no matter what form it is." Harry sits down and closes the book causing the menu to disappear, "what to do now?"
He looks around the room and sees his unfinished math book gaining only a sweat drop on the back of his head and sighs. "Crap I forgot about math" Harry says making no effort to move.
He stands up and looks at the clock on his wall and notices the clock being only a few seconds ahead of when he left to the grey room. "Are the batteries empty?" as he saw his digital clock was still moving so the batteries weren't empty. Soon his stomach growled so he decided to grab something to eat. As he made his way to the kitchen Harry made himself a sandwich and grabbed an apple.
After he came back to his room he sat down at his desk again turning on his iPod. After a minute of deciding the songs he presses shuffle whilst grabbing his homework "this is going to take some time" Harry says grabbing a pencil while listening to the opening of Monster by Skillet.
