Authors Note: I have not written many stories on here and what I do currently have posted is terrible old clique works I made as an angsty teenager, I have not made many stories in a while but decided to get back into it as I desperatly need to flex some creativity and add a little getaway for my mind. Helpfull critisism is appreciated (as I said haven't written anything in a long time, probably close to a year or two) flames will be deleted and ignored or possibly reposted and shared in some manner that will amuse me to mock in the future. I'm playing with a story line I've come across before but as I have no idea who started it I shall just say to that individual(s?) thank you for the inspiration. Sadly I acknowledge that this work will likely have very AU characters, I don't feel I have enough experience with writing to fully capture each unique character that Masashi Mishimoto has given us but will do my current best to make them as close as I can. I have no Beta reader and will likely end up re-writing this at some point when my writing improves if I feel I wish to keep it (which is why I have not taken down the other Posted stories as I may at some point want to re-vist them and fix them... drastically).
Disclaimer: This is fanfiction people if anyone had any serious notion that on I am somehow making any profit whatsoever on this work they are delusional. That being said Naruto the Manga was originaly created the Writer/Illustrator Masashi Kishimoto and is listed on wikipedia to be published by Shueisha in the magazine Weekly Shounen Jump. I do not own any rights to Naruto, and am not making any profits from this work.

Chapter One
[Message: "Congratulations! You have been specially granted the opportunity to become "The Gamer" this prestigious position was granted to you by a "Higher Power" please press [Accept] to open the tutorial."]
Uzumaki Naruto twitched as he glared at the image in front of him, a strange message had appeared in the lightly glowing orange box when he had tried to leave his apartment this morning. Originally it had seemed really cool (though if you asked him anything with the colour orange was magnificent and cool), however the issue he was having with it was that for some weird and suspicious reason he couldn't seem to leave without touching it. Hell he couldn't even decline it as there was no other option than to press accept, he had originally thought this was some strange Genjutsu someone was using to get revenge on him for a prank he pulled recently. That idea was soon discarded however as there seemed to be no benefit to such an idea when he was locked inside his apartment and no one could witness his ridicule. Hesitantly he reached out and slowly touched his hand to the word [Accept], a ping sounded as the box disappeared and a new one took it's place.

The boy did not take long to think about it as he had pretty much decided to go along with it and hopefully he'd find out if this was all some weird dream or elaborate prank when he was finished, he touched his hand to the word [Accept].

"What the hell is exactly is E.X.P. and W.I.S.?" Naruto muttered as the window disappeared again, they seemed to close on their own a second or two after he had finished reading them. Seeing no other boxes popping into existence he went to the door to see if he could leave yet, only to once again be met with a window appearing.
[Message: You may not leave your apartment until you have unlocked the necessary requirements.]
"Well what are the necessary requirements then?" he asked frustrated.
[Message: Complete the necessary quests to meet the requirements if you wish to leave.]
"Well what if I don't want to leave huh? Have you thought of that? What if i wanna stay in THIS ROOM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!" he shouted.
[Message: If you do not wish to leave the room until you die you will be prompted by numerous quests as you starve until you are dead, once you are dead whatever awaits you in the afterlife is confidential and cannot be disclosed until you meet the necessary requirements.]
"What are the necessary requirements for that?"
[Message: Death.]
He glared unimpressed at the box, "Fine. Whatever, what do I have to do to get to my next quest thing again?"
[Message: For not paying attention to the tutorial and retaining the information necessary you must now repeat the quest [Step One], please pay attention next time.]
"ARGHH!" he growled jumping at the box only to go through it "JUST DIE ALREADY YOU DAMN WEIRD GENJUSTU THING!"
[Message: That was pointless the boxes of text are intangible so attacking them is useless.]
[For acting irrationally you have been deducted one WIS point.]
