Hello! I am here to tell you the results of that small poll.

Give the Omnitrix to Gwen: Got about two to three votes for this

Give the Omnitrix to Grandpa Max: one with a slight twist

Return the Omnitrix: About six votes

The one thing I saw and was interested by was the idea of giving Grandpa Max the Omnitrix in the meantime since he is the most responsible person.

I woke up to the Rustbucket shaking and turning lightly. We were moving pretty fast from what I could feel, I opened my tired eyes and saw a new type of notification.

You have slept in a bed, 100% to MP and HP and All negative status effects have been purged.

That was good to know, I slowly got up still feeling a little sore from that weird battle with the robot. If I am supposed to be a video game character why am I still hurt?

"Grandpa?" I tried to say, but it came out more as a raspy whisper.

The two things I noticed was that I was in some pain and that my right leg was completely fine, which is a major upgrade from being shattered into a billion pieces. I slowly turned on the bottom bunk and stood up shakily. I hobbled my way over to the passenger's seat. I tapped his shoulder lightly.

"What happened?" I asked.

Sue me, I was still curious to if this way real or if I was just insane and attacking a racoon. He flinched from the sudden contact but was otherwise unfazed.

"You decided to fight a giant metal robot and got yourself beat up. I saw that you ran off after about five minutes of walking." He replied.

"Are we going to a hospital?" I asked.

"No, you just have a few scratches and a light burn on the center of your chest." He told me.

"Yeah, just a few burns, but seriously, is there anyway I can fix that?" I questioned.

"We already applied aloe vera, you have nothing to worry about." He said.

Wow, I don't know if I should be freaked out that he was this prepared or happy that he was this prepared.

"Where are we going?" I inquired.

"We are stopping at the closet supermarket, I want to restock on food and well, just in case you decide to fight more robots, first aid supplies" He told me.

I decided to go back and see where Gwen was, she was on the top bunk sleeping soundly, I decided to open the blinds just to see what time it could've been, I don't want to bother Grandpa anymore. It was just inky blackness outside, I couldn't see anything, which either means we're in space or it is around midnight. Since Grandpa Max is occupied and Gwen is asleep maybe I can check out more of the system.

"Status." I whispered.

Buffs/Debuffs(?)

I noticed the small question mark next to Buffs and Debuffs, no harm in checking out what it's for. I pressed down on the question mark and a small menu popped up.

Debuff: Minor Arrogance: -1 WIS -1 INT

Buffs: None, you suck.

What? I am not that arrogant! I have no idea how to fix what the game thinks of me other than to curb my inflated sense of superiority, only problem is, I never thought I had that. Maybe if I get smarter then I'll understand.

Quest Alert!

Gain 10 points in INT or WIS within one day.

Bonus: Do both

Bonus Reward: One Special Skill

Penalty: None

Yes/No?

Why not? It's not like I have something better to do with my time.

"Yes." I whispered.

How could I go about doing this? I didn't bring anything useful for intelligence, but Gwen did! While this wasn't the most revolutionary thing it still gave me a small chuckle, I can mess with Gwen's stuff. I tiptoed my way over to the corner where our bags were left from just about two days ago. I started sifting through the pile of books Gwen had next to her bag in the corner. I found one interesting book among the giant pile, "A Guide to Modern Magic."

+1 WIS for choosing something in your field

I read it with great interest. The book became more and more intriguing to me the more I scanned over it. However weird it may seem I had a good feeling about it, something about it just seemed right. The basic idea of modern magic is using items you own or are wearing to conceal items to make it seem like you are using magic. When I was about halfway through I got the exact notification I was hoping for.

+1 INT for properly reading a book for the first time, you idiot.

If I keep up this pace I can get the intelligence in way less than the time. While I was reading over the book, I was just thinking about how to get wisdom easily, all I can think of is how whenever I, without thinking, make wise decisions, the best thing I could do is use my points. I just finished the book when a notification popped up.

Special Skill Created: Illusion Magic LVL 1 (0%)

This is the most common form of magic in the modern world, it relies heavily on long

shirts and slight of hand, but since you're THE GAMER you get a special skill instead.

Get to LVL 5 for a unique skill!

The Rustbucket lurched forward a few minutes later, I held on to my seat so I wouldn't get launched. I heard a crash to my right.

"Ack!" Gwen yelped.

While Gwen was still whining about the fall I chucked the book she had back over to the pile.

"Ben! What did you just throw?" She questioned me.

"Sumo Slammer action figure." I nervously said.

"Okay, nerd." She replied.

I was really nervous to see if she was awake enough to realize I would never throw my action figures, they're limited edition! I looked over to the front of the Rustbucket and saw Grandpa Max just getting ready to leave.

"Hey, Grandpa," I said, "Can I go explore the city?"

"Sure, Ben," He replied, "Just stay safe."

I was happy I got the go ahead but was a bit confused when he walked off talking about how he was going to stop someone from shedding skin, whatever that means. I quickly made my way out of the Rustbucket and I sprinted my way over to a bookstore that would've been a two block trip, if I had knew where it was.

+1 AGI for running for an extended period of time

When I had finally stopped I was sweaty, annoyed, and happy, if I have to suffer then at least I can get something out of it. I decided since I just wanted to quickly get that point and get out of here before anyone saw me I just chose a random book about rocks or something. I had to sit there reading for at the very least two hours, I had gotten the first one after an hour and a half of reading and I had already started reading for the second one but it takes this long? I was able to finish the first book in the collection and I had to get to about a fifth of the way through the second one.

+1 INT for reading through two books worth of content.

Now that the whole intelligence thing is handled I can either figure out how to gain wisdom in an easy way or I can just spend my points.

"Quest Menu."

Thank god that worked, I did not have the time to search for that command. A small scroll themed menu appeared with one quest on the menu.

Gain 10 points in INT or WIS within one day.

Bonus: Do both

Time left: 18:23

I could try to get the wisdom but, there is no way grandpa would let me stay out for that long. Whatever, screw it, I put all of my points into wisdom.

Are you sure about that?

Yes/No

"Of course!" I yelled, that got me some dirty looks for screaming on the street. I ran back to the Rustbucket and reopened the quest menu.

Gain 10 points in INT or WIS within one day.

Bonus: Do both

Reward: One Special Skill

Bonus Reward: One Special Skill

Penalty: None

Finish this quest?

Yes/No

I focused on the 'yes' option and got my prizes.

For gaining 10 WIS you got a skill: Observe LVL 1 (0%)

This is used to identify friends and enemies

10 MP to observe someone

For gaining 10 INT you got a skill: Magic Tracking LVL 1 (0%)

You can use someone's items to track them to a certain location.

For the first time since I got this power I felt an actual change, I knew I should tell Grandpa Max about the weird Galvanic carrier I found. I walked my way back to the Rustbucket.

"Grandpa, are you here?" I yelled.

"Yeah, Ben, what's wrong?" Grandpa asked.

"I need to talk to you." I told him.

"About what?" He questioned.

"I found this weird thing in the woods." I said.

"And what would that be?" He inquired.

"Just hear me out about this," I started, "I found a carrying device."

"What do you mean, carrying device?" Grandpa Max questioned.

"I mean this" I said.

I walked over to my backpack and pretended to pull out the carrying sphere from my backpack and showed it to him.

"Do you have any idea what this is?" He yelled.

"I just knew it was important and I should have showed it to you." I replied.

"Give it to me, Ben." He ordered me.

"Are you sure grandpa?" I started, "It's no trouble for me to keep it for now."

"Just hand it over for now, it's dangerous for you to have it." He told me.

I decided that I should hand it over for now, I have no idea what it is and he seems to, for some reason, have a perfect idea of what it is. I was unsure of why he knew though, I decided to use Observe on him.

Buffs/Debuffs(?)

Why is there a question mark next to Plumber? Whatever, no harm in checking it out.

The Plumber:

A secret organization dealing in alien threats, attacks, and peace dealings. They are meant to protect the Earth, they use high-tech gadgets exclusive to their profession.

+10% Damage to laser-based attacks

"Grandpa, we need to talk." I said.

Sorry, I wanted to just end it here with that little line from the end of season one.
