Author's Note: Hello everyone, this is my first gamer Naruto fic. I know there are some good stories out there, some have been discarded while some are still in continuation. I am trying something a little different with this one. I will try to create some semblance of equality between speed of progression and avid details the reader preferably want. The story will progress at a swift pace while covering all the important details. I hope you like this story. Please READ AND REVIEW.

CHAPTER 1
Three beauties sat together in a throne room as they peered down on the mortal world, especially upon a small blonde boy who wistfully watched three other people. These were the three Goddesses, Kami, Yami and Shinigami who controlled and ruled over the world. They lived in a realm that be found by no mortal, only a divine and only if they themselves wish it.
"This is a complicated predicament" said one of the three women dressed in white robes. Her silvery white hair fell in gentle tresses while her serene violet eyes were unusually hard. She was Kami, the Goddesses of creation.
"Indeed, it will not bode well for the future if this continues." said another, her tone marred with disapproval and slight anger. She had luscious dark hair, glowing red eyes and was dressed in in a kimono which seemed to be made of ethereal shadows. She was Yami the goddess of darkness and destruction.
"I don't see the reason why that unfortunate soul has to be put through trials again and again. I mean how many avatars of his we have seen and they all went through different hardships. Even then your child of prophecy reigned supreme and brought peace to the land." Exclaimed the third goddess. She was violet haired and her eyes were the darkest black. She was Shinigami, the goddess of death.
"It actually depends on whose essence he carries." Kami answered as she tapped her chin thoughtfully.
"What do you mean?" Shinigami questioned as she looked curiously at her counterparts.
"What she means is that the presence of our essence basically determines his course of actions and his general demeanour. Of course he was created as a noble soul, a hero to be exact which essentially ensures his actions are always meant for well-being of the mortal realm but how he brings peace or the path he chooses is dependent on him." Yami explained as she showed the other two various avatars of Naruto. There were numerous personalities as she switched through them all. Naruto with rinnegan, Naruto with a glowing golden aura around him with 9 gudodama circling behind him, another Naruto wielding Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Naruto dressed in traditional hokage robes etc.
"The variations you see depend upon whose essence was predominant in him." Kami continued Yami's explanation. "If it was mine he turned out to be a loyal Konoha ninja mostly naïve and forgiving, the most gentle soul truly desiring peace and succeeding in his ventures by convincing his enemies to give up their wicked ways and reforming them. In Yami's case he was cold and indifferent adopting to the darkness surrounding him, getting his hands dirty whenever necessary. When your powers were dominant he was literally your avatar, decimating armies with no hesitations establishing his own empire and uniting the world under a single banner."
"Okay I get the gist but what is so special about this one?" Shinigami question as she looked at the other two expectantly.
"This time our essences manifested in perfect balance. He is the one with most potential." Yami answered.
"Not only that but this birth was supposed to be his reward. A loving family with sibling and a harem to boot." Kami sighed wistfully as she observed her favourite creation.
"Hmmm, that's good then. I mean finally something good happened, I was actually getting tired seeing the fox getting sealed in him and the consequences he had to face." Shinigami smirked a little but that smirk dropped on seeing Yami's dark expression.
"Yes everything was supposed to be dandy but it is not. This world is one of a kind so we failed to see this particular future. Since in this world Sarutobi Hiruzen sealed the Kyuubi in his twin sister, his parents are solely devoting their time to her ignoring Naruto." Yami growled out.
"And there is possibility that Naruto would be overlooked in favour of his sister by almost every person that played a crucial development in other universes." Kami acknowledged as she shook her head sadly. "This will not only hinder him in becoming a brilliant shinobi but it will break his heart."
"Okay so fix the problem then. What's the issue?" Shinigami raised an eyebrow at seemingly simple problem.
"It is not that simple. We can't directly influence the people. It will defeat the purpose of giving them free will." Answered Kami. "Also he is going through a crucial phase, if he stumbles at this point the results could be catastrophic."
"Give him some special power then." Shinigami suggested. "I mean something that would help him surpass all others. Since he doesn't have Kyuubi's chakra for backup, I can say for sure that he can become strong but nowhere near the level that is required of him."
"That's right, in the end he will have to Madara and if worst came to worst, Kaguya herself. He will be decimated quite easily even if he surpasses his father. Yondaime is no match for those monsters." Yami frowned as she thought for a possible solution.
"Why not give him a powerful weapon? Like that shark guy had that weird sword or maybe even a zanpakuto." Shinigami proposed to her sisters.
"No, not a weapon," said Yami. "He will need his entire life consumed by the gift we give him. A weapon can be replaced and his reliance on it will not be fruitful. Also samehada has the drawback of turning its wielder into half shark, imagine a handsome guy like Naruto with looks of Kisame." Kami seemed to cringe at the very thought of Naruto looking like half fish.
"Then what shall we give him?" asked Kami.
"I have an idea and this power will be perfect for someone like him. He would be able to grow powerful very quickly as well as it will give us more leeway to prod him in the right direction." Shinigami's grin as she thought of this idea was particularly infectious. She then explained her idea to the other two. Slowly the three looked at each other and smiled. They lifted their right arms together and a ball of blue light formed which just as quickly as disappeared. The three closed their eyes and the image of Naruto sleeping in his bed appeared. They watched as the blue light entered his body. Naruto only gave a slight twitch as he continued to sleep peacefully. The power he had received will be shocking to say the least.
########################## Uzumaki Naruto Reloaded ########################
Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto yawned as he rose up from his bed and shook the cobwebs from his head. The blond then proceeded to wipe the crud from his eyes, waddled his way to t take a shower and brush his teeth like clockwork. Soon after finishing Naruto picked up his clothes that consisted of a small white t-shirt, underwear, and a pair of orange pants. Putting them on he began pondering what he should do today. His younger twin Narumi was to start her training today. His parents had told him that she needed more training to control the fox's chakra and hence they were starting with her early on. Meanwhile he should just enjoy and play around for his training will commence when he joins the academy. To be honest Naruto was a little miffed. After all they both just had to teach the basics, it wasn't as if the training constituted of something that dangerous.
He simply shook his head and gave out a tired sigh. Whether it was intentional or not his parents favoured his sister over him. In fact the whole village did. She was the hero who kept Kyuubi at bay while he was just plain simple Naruto. It wasn't that he was mistreated but sometimes a little bit of more affection and attention wouldn't hurt would it? He had yet to make friends of his age as most of the clan heirs led a rather secluded life, only occasionally coming out to play with others as they mostly kept to their clans. And even when they did most of their attention was focussed towards Narumi, after all she was the princess of the village. The parents of the clan heirs encouraged them to mingle with the popular kid. Well it wouldn't be a problem once he started the academy. Oh how wrong he was only time will tell. It was then he noticed a message that seemed to hang in the air in front of him.
[Welcome to the life of a gamer! Right now, you'll be learning how to live your life as a gamer. The gamer ability allows you to do anything that you could do in an actual game. Say continue to start the tutorial.]
"What. In. The. Living. HELL?!" The loud voice echoed throughout his room. Naruto's jaw dropped, his eyes were wide with disbelief and astonishment. He blinked in puzzlement rubbing his eyes in hope that the message being a figment of his imagination might just disappear.
'Okay it is still there. What to do? Well let's see what happens if I proceed with it.' With that thought Naruto murmured "Continue."
[Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto! Congratulations on receiving the power of a gamer. This power is one of the rarest to be granted to very special people and hence only you will be aware of its existence. That means you absolutely can't tell anyone about your gamer powers…Say continue if you accept this condition.]
"That's convenient. And what if it becomes necessary to inform someone? More importantly how will I interact with these messages in front of all the people?" Naruto questioned to the thin air seeking a response. He was not disappointed.
[If such a situation arises you will be notified beforehand, however be assured that such crisis would not befall upon you. This game will be fully functional open interaction RPG giving you unlimited choices to follow your path without any restrictions. Only a few particular life quests will be unavoidable. While you are interacting with the messages the world around you will seemingly pause.]
"Very well I accept continue." Naruto replied affirmatively.
[You have acquired 'The Gamer's Guide']
Do you wish to learn this?
[Y/N]
"Finally, some details!" Naruto muttered as he hit the 'Y' button. Much to his shock, the book dissolved into a blue light that rather looked like chakra. It swirled around h moment before vanishing, prompting another box/window to open.
[Congratulations! You have unlocked the Guide!]
To open the guide, merely think/say 'Guide'.
"Guide" Naruto said. A new window opened as the first one close automatically.
[Welcome to the Guide. Please select a topic from below to view.]
-Introduction
-Attribute Points and Attributes
-Raising Stats
-Level
-Quests
-Flaws
-Skills
-Reputation
[Introduction]
[Almost uniformly, all aspects of 'The Gamer' are invoked verbally/mentally, as you have no doubt surmised by now. You have at several pages with information and abilities that y merely by saying the name of the page.
First, the Status Page. This displays several things; your Stats and Perks, your current Level and your current HP and CP, as well as your Flaws, Special Status, In currently equipped equipment.
Next is the 'Skills' page. This displays all the skills you have learned, as well as their current level, a small description of what they do and their effects.

The 'Flaws' page shows you all of the current flaws that you have, as well as their effects, negative or otherwise.
The 'Quests' page shows you all the quests you are currently undergoing, as well as the quests you have completed in the past.
Finally, the 'Reputation' page shows you your standing with various, people, Groups, Clans, Cities and Nations.]
"Well this was easy enough. Next is Attribute Points and Attributes." Naruto mentally commanded.
[Attribute Points and Attributes]
[Every time you Level Up, five Attribute Points are automatically generated, which you can then use to increase your own Attributes. Your Attributes are representations of your physical and mental abilities. For ordinary people, their Attribute Points are automatically distributed to their strongest areas a Level Up. A person who possesses 'The Gamer' however, can distribute their points themselves, thereby making themselves smarter/stronger/faster than an ordinary per of. Every 10 levels, the amount of points gained increases by 1. You earn 5 every time you level up and it will increase to 6 when you are level 10.]
Strength (STR): The Strength attribute determines the person's overall physical power. This attribute affects the amount of damage a person can inflict on another with Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, blunt objects. It also affects a person's ability to reduce damage when blocking and affects the amount of weight they can lift, or throw.
Vitality (VIT): The Vitality attribute determines the person's overall health. This attribute also affects a person's ability to regain health outside of combat and resist specials types of dam things such as poison, chakra draining, paralysis, burns, etc.
1 VIT = 25 HP
1 VIT = .5 HP REGEN
Dexterity (DEX): The Dexterity attribute determines the person's overall movement. This attribute affects a person's accuracy, evasion, speed, and ability to land critical strikes on an opponents' mind, and long range combat. Dexterity also plays a major role in pick pocking, stealth, use of weaponry and the ability to dual wielding weaponry properly.
Intelligence (INT): The Intelligence attribute determines the person's overall ability to think quickly and innovation. This attribute affects the strength of their chakra, how much they have, and they can recover their chakra out of battle. It also affects the strength of a person's natural affinity, ability on creating variations, and a technique's overall power.
1 INT = 25 CP
1 INT = .5 CP REGEN
Wisdom (WIS): The wisdom attribute determines the person's common sense, perception, and overall control of their chakra. It also affects their ability to learn, memorize, retain information, determines how smart they are. Wisdom also plays an important role in learning certain skills such as Genjutsu and Medical Ninjutsu as well as defending from mental attacks. For every 20 points of WIS the experience points gained increases by a %. In some cases WIS needs to be higher or lower for it to occur depending on the status they have.
Charisma (CHAR): This attribute determines your leadership, political skills and dealing with general public. It also affects how quickly you will gain/loose reputation among the masses. Higher charisma often results in greater rewards during some specific quests.
Luck (LUK): The Luck attribute determines the person's overall chance. Luck is unique compared to all the other attributes as it is capable of influencing anything from finding or looting items, winning money while gambling, to encounters and outstanding successes/failures (such as critical hits).
'Hmm well next two points are sort of self-explanatory so let's skip to quests…' Naruto pondered.
[Quests]
[Quests, sometimes called missions, are tasks given to players by others or appear spontaneously. Completing a quest or mission will result in rewards such as experience and money. Most quests can be accepted or declined while others are mandatory and most be complete in order to proceed. Sometimes a side quest will be giving alongside the main one, these are purely optional but completing them gives a boost of rewards. Some quests will allow you an unlimited amount of time to complete it while others need to be completed before a specific time and/or day or risk quest failure. A variation of a side quest known as hidden objectives will posted, what these objectives are you needed to figure out on your own. Completion of quests also boosts one's reputation with the affiliated village, person or faction by a certain amount though sometimes it can decrease the reputation of so such as an enemy village. Depending on the quest failure to complete it can result in penalties such as no rewards, negative reputation gain, lower experience points gained, crippling injury status, or even death.]
The remaining points were pretty easy to understand and Naruto quickly went through them.
In the skill window he currently found only two skills.
[Passive Skills]
Gamer's Mind: Lv Max. Allows the user to calmly and logically think things through. Allows peaceful state of mind. Grants one an immunity to most psychological statuses, Genjutsu being the exception depending on the user's level and skill.
Gamer's Body: Lv Max. Grants a body that allows for the user to live the real world like a game. HP & CP are fully recovered after sleeping.
"Holy shit! These two abilities are hacks man. No wonder it is rarest of the gifts granted." He then whispered the voice command and proceeded to look through the Guide Book for anything interesting, "Ok, let's see what else we got here inventory!"
[Inventory Box]
[The inventory box, a personal space-time technique, is where the items you are currently holding go to when not in use. This allows you to store a near infinite amount of having to carry them on your person and hamper your movement with the excess weight. To place an item inside just press it on the screen and vice versa when you want.]
Note: Certain things cannot be placed in the inventory box such as a camp fire or living beings.
"That makes things easy," Naruto thought before moving on. The idea of not having to carry everything on him yet have everything he needed when he wanted it was a great thing to have. Though part of him thought it was a bit unfair to others Naruto immediately squashed that thought. He was a ninja in training damn it! Their whole lifestyle was about being unfair, fighting dirty and not caring if they weren't training to be samurai.
For thinking things through in a rational manner your WIS has gone up by 1!
"Okay that happened. Item Quality," he called out next.
[Item Quality]
[Simply put, item quality is a relative indicator of how good an item is compared to another. The quality indicator is most often seen with a rank beside the name of the item. There are six types of item qualities in the world.]
Note: The higher the quality the greater the requirements needed to use it properly before being able to master it, not in all cases, however.
Poor Quality: Items that are considered the worst of the worst and barely even worth using, seen as junk by many. Such items are made of shady materials, poor craftsmanship has rusted over or been worn down so badly that it can no longer be used properly.
Common Quality: These are common items of decent quality that many use every day. Most items that fit into this category are basic kunai, shuriken, and some other forms of weaponry.
Uncommon Quality: These are the uncommon items, not everyone has them but have frequent enough usage. Most items that fit into this category are sealing scrolls, weaponry and items that can be used for making other things such as clothing, medicine or weapons.
Rare Quality: These are the rare uncommon items. Items of this quality are either difficult or somewhat expensive to come by. Most usually grant a unique ability or a great stat booster for the user. These are made from materials that are difficult to acquire or buy, or require a great level of skill to create.
Epic Quality: These items are considered one of the rarest of the rare. Items of this quality are extremely difficult to come by and create, sometimes they can be considered one of irreplaceable. Items that can be considered a part of this category are some of the swords of the Seven Swordsmen or scrolls that contain dangerous or powerful A-S rank style.
Legendary Quality: These unique items are considered legendary in terms of power and one of a kind ability they possess or are capable of granting individuals or other items, many of these being one of a kind. Chances of coming across items of this quality are one million to one only those with incredible levels of luck are said to be able to find these. If you own one many lucky bastard. Items that are considered to fall under this category are masterpieces or items used by legendary and ancient craftsmen or figures such as the Rikudo S Nyūdō Masamune, Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama etc.
"Phew! That's covers everything. Now let's see that status thing. Status!" However instead of a screen that should have provided his details another message popped up.
[This option is available only after you have unlocked your chakra]

Accept? (Yes/No)
"Of course I accept! I have already studied the theory behind unlocking chakra, all I need is a good place to meditate." With that thought Naruto went to breakfast. After a healthy morning meal and a quick 'See you later' to his family he went straight to his favourite eatery to stock up on few cups of instant ramen. As he walked towards his destination taking in the various sights a message popped up. PING!
[By observing your surroundings you have created a skill!]
Observe Lv-1 (10%)

When Naruto reached Ichiraku's he used his Observe on Teuchi and Ayame.

"You alright there young lad?" Teuchi asked as he saw his dazed looked. "I hope you are not eyeing my daughter." Teuchi had made his tone slightly threatening when he was bopped on the head with a ladle courtesy of his irate daughter.
"Dad he is just a kid." Ayame reproached him as she smiled at Naruto in reassurance.
"Just kidding Ayame. So lad what is your name?" Teuchi asked.
Oh I am Naruto, Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto. Pleased to meet you." Naruto grinned as he introduced himself.
'Hokage's kid eh?' Teuchi thought. "So Naruto what brings you here to our humble establishment?"
"Well mom told me that you had the best ramen in the fire country so I couldn't help but come and see it for myself." Naruto enthusiastically.
"Ha-ha well that's for sure." Teuchi boasted.
"So order up Naruto-kun." Ayame smiled at her little customer.
"I will start with Miso ramen and pack me a pork ramen for later." Came the reply from the blonde.
"Very well I will start the preparations." Ayame whisked away towards the back of the stall leaving Teuchi and Naruto to their own.
"You started training yet kid?" Teuchi enquired.
"Not yet. Actually after the meal I was going to look for a secluded place to unlock my chakra." Naruto replied sheepishly.
"Huh why don't you do it at you home compound?" Teuchi questioned as he knew hokage compound was big enough for that.
"Uh umm….you see mom and dad are starting Narumi's training today so they told me they would start my training later when I join the academy." Naruto's eyes were downcast and his voice laced with disappointment.
Teuchi frowned at this as he mumbled to himself favouritism by parents when he was struck with a brilliant idea. "Say Naruto I know of a person who could help you with this exercise."
"Really? Would he actually help me?"
"Yes he will. You see I was about to go and make a delivery to him but then I thought of something that will kill two birds with one stone." Teuchi raised a hand to stop Naruto from interrupting as he continued. "If you are willing to take this delivery to him, I will write him a note telling him to help you. How does that sound?"
"You got yourself a deal old man." Naruto was almost skipping on his seat.
"Very well. His name is Kosuke Maruboshi and you will find him on the Hokage Mountain in that grove." Teuchi began writing a note as Ayame placed a steaming bowl of miso ramen in front of Naruto. As soon as the words were uttered by Teuchi a message popped up.

'Well this is convenient.' Naruto took in his updated quest. He accepted the quest while nodding in affirmative to Teuchi's instructions.

20 minutes later Naruto was huffing and puffing as he climbed the steep slopes of Hokage mountain to reach his destination.
Due to strenuous activity your STR has increased by 1

'Well at least I am benefitting from this trek. It's a shame I can't see my stats, but they must be pretty lousy if this much activity results in their increase.' Naruto thought as he dragged himself towards his destination.
On reaching the grove he found an old man wearing a straw hat sitting underneath the shade of a particularly big tree. Naruto used 'Observe' on him.
[Status Window]
Name: Kosuke Maruboshi
Job: Ninja

Title: The Eternal Gennin
Specialization: ?
'The Eternal Gennin huh…..I will keep this in mind for later. 'Approaching him cautiously he spoke, "Hey mister, are you Kosuke Maruboshi-san?"
"Yes, that would be me lad. From your looks I can say for sure you are Yondaime-sama's son right?" Kosuke questioned with a gentle smile.
"Yeah he is my father. By the way here you are." Naruto handed him the packed lunch and the note Teuchi had given him.
"Oh thank you so much for bringing me my lunch. And what is this?" Kosuke read the note and eyed Naruto curiously. "You need help in unlocking your chakra?"
"Yes please. I was going to do it on my own but Teuchi-san warned me that it could be dangerous. He said you will be able to guide me through the process." Naruto responded in a respectful manner.
Kosuke frowned slightly, 'What is wrong with this scenario? Why are his parents not helping him for the task? Let's not go there lest I unearth something unpleasant.' He let out a soft sigh before speaking, "Before we get there, tell me do you know what chakra is?"
"Umm, it's a combination of physical and spiritual energy of a person that a ninja is able to use." Naruto answered remembering what he had read earlier.
"Simple yet correct. Chakra is essentially the life force that is comprised of two energies: - First is the Physical energy or Yang part of one's chakra. It is built up over time through training one's body vigorously in many ways and increases as the person grows physically through each and every cell of one's body and accumulated by our body as the stamina that we use to do our daily jobs in lives. It can be increased through training, stimulants and exercise. Second is the Spiritual energy or Yin part of one's chakra. It is built over time through training one's mind vigorously in many ways and increases as the person grows mentally. It is through one's consciousness and builds up over time with the experience a person's mind gains. It can be increased through studying, meditation, and experience. When these two energies are moulded in perfect harmony that is when chakra is created." Naruto listened with rapt attention as Kosuke explained the details to him.
"Does that mean even the civilians have chakra?" Naruto asked as he tried to comprehend the complexity of the explanation.
"Chakra is found in everyone, whether it be civilian or ninja. The moment a person runs completely out of chakra dies." Kosuke smiled as he looked at the Naruto's intrigued face. 'This boy, his intelligence far surpasses that of his peers.' His smiling visage was replaced by a serious demeanour as he said the next part. "This is why you must always be careful and not use chakra carelessly. Near exhaustion of chakra is equally as dangerous as exhausting it completely and is called chakra exhaustion. This is not taken care of properly can also lead to fatal outcomes. If a person is low on chakra he/she should rest, eat and sleep until he recovers safely."
"Okay, I got it." Naruto nodded in affirmative.
"Now you will begin with a little warmup to get some energy circulation within your body. Run some laps around this grove." Kosuke ordered.
"Okay."
########################## Uzumaki Naruto Reloaded ########################
The warmup, if it could be called as such left Naruto completely exhausted. Kosuke made Naruto do several laps which were followed by push-ups, sit-ups and a few other body conditioning exercises. Naruto was angry, annoyed and ready to vent his frustration out on his instructor. Only the appearance of message by the game calmed him down.
Due to strenuous activity your STR has increased by 1
Due to strenuous activity your VIT has increased by 1
Due to strenuous activity your DEX has increased by 1
'Well at least something came out of it.' Naruto grumbled as he took in Kosuke's amused expression.
"Hmmm, you actually managed to complete the routine." Kosuke mused as a smile graced his features. 'And this was actually a good exercise by old academy standards. This boy truly has frightening potential'
"I am glad you are amused by this." Naruto scowled as he lay on the ground.
"Don't be like that. I am impressed by your physical capability. No one follows this routine now a days but it is really helpful. A combination of physical and mental conditioning before getting a feel of your dormant chakra strengthens your chakra pathways as compared to brute forcing the unlocking." Kosuke explained his reasons to Naruto who let out a deep breath.
"Okay now what old man?" Naruto turned towards his instructor.
"Now sit in the lotus position and try to meditate. Imagine energy from the centre of your body trickling to your limbs and brain. When you get a feeling that you are submerged in something, it can be cool or warm then get to the centre of that energy and pull."
Naruto followed the instructions and soon found himself in a trance like state. It felt so good that after sometime when he lost touch of the outside world and then focused inwardly on the feeling and kept looking for the energy source. He didn't know for how long but suddenly he felt a warm pull and saw a small blue light in the darkness of his mind as he pulled on the energy and felt new energy course through his veins. Dense purple chakra erupted from his body as it swirled around him and the ground under him cracked and pebbles rose in the air, turning to dust as they came in contact with his chakra as it swirled around him wildly. Naruto smirked as he felt the energy, it was so powerful. There was no way that it wasn't chakra, so this was what it felt like. He liked it, it felt like a part of him had been found that was hidden away. Kosuke stood up in shock as he felt the density of Naruto's chakra and the amounts he was releasing. In just thirty seconds he had released a low genin's reserves worth of chakra and was still going.
'Amazing! Such powerful and dense chakra, I haven't felt such ungodly density in one's chakra ever since…' his thoughts trailed off.
Naruto's chakra receded and his eyes opened as he smiled widely and tried to stand up. His legs felt a little wobbly "So how was it old man?" A familiar 'ping' was followed by a notification which almost made Naruto lose his composure and holler around in joy.

"Sure, just let me get my bearings." Naruto grinned.
"You know, if you need any tips in future you are most welcome to seek me out. Though I am not an expert, I have picked up a lot of things in my life." Kosuke gave a slight smile to the blonde who was now watching him with slightly wide eyes.
"Thanks a lot old man." Naruto joyfully replied.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: So how was it guys? I have tried to give this story a different touch as compared to other gamer stories, though some of the gamer concepts have been inspired by Uzumaki Naruto: Dawn of Gamer by Legend of Kyuubi. There will be differences, quite a lot of them but I liked the way he explained all gamer components. So please read and review…looking forward to your constructive criticism and ideas for improving this fic….ciao
