DAY ONE
Hana Yamazuki woke up, just like any other day, that is, tired and sore from the previous day's run. Just like every other day, she pulled herself out of bed, groaning as every muscle in her body protested the action. She assembled her clothes and trooped into the bathroom, taking a quick shower without even glancing at the mirror. She stepped from the shower 10 minutes later, feeling refreshed as the hot water had soothed her sore muscles. She gently wiped the steam from the mirror and began doing her hair, just to stop when she noticed a small tag above her head, reading <The Gamer> Hana Yamazuki LV: 1. She blinked several times, but got back to work doing her hair, deciding that it was probably nothing more than a day-dream made reality by her immense fatigue. She got her stuff together and trooped off to school, after going to visit and her parents and noticing her parents featured similar tags reading Oriana Yamazuki LV 1, Minato Yamazuki LV 2. She was curious as to why her father's number was 2, however she chalked that up to her hallucination getting more detailed. The day proceeded as normal, ending with a Cross Country practice that was every bit as exhausting and excruciating as the previous day.
DAY TWO
Hana woke up, again dragging herself out of bed and following the same routine as the previous day, however she was concerned when she found the name above her head hadn't vanished. It was then that she realized that "LV" probably stood for "LEVEL", since this was quite obviously a readout from a video game. However, beyond that she hadn't made any insights into it. So, she again drug herself down to breakfast and out to school. In school, she noted that practically everyone was level one, except for her content that she was being excused from school the following day as a reward for her great performance in the previous cross country team, having decided that the class co-captain of the cross country team, who was level two. She was a bit upset that she was only level one, since she was a better runner than him. However, she headed home, would be mostly useless anyway.
DAY THREE
Hana's internal clock refused to let her wake up later than 6:30 on a school day, and so she groaned and drug herself out of bed. She took a shower as normal, however that level indicator and name tag still hovered over her head. So, since her parents had to go to work, she decided to spend the day at home experimenting with this. First, she fixed herself a quick breakfast then she immediately went to work. Hana was a smart girl, so she immediately reasoned that if she were like a game character, she must have things like skills right? Therefore, since she also lacked a real "HUD", it stood to reason that voice commands would be the way to access these menus.
She started by reciting various menus that were common for an MMORPG game, getting immediate result from her first word, Status. A window was brought up, showing her HP, her MP, which she assumed to mean Mana Points, and some various stats. She noted that her Intelligence, Vitality and Strength were fairly high, with her other stats being fairly average, excluding her luck which seemed fairly low. She grumbled lightly at that, insisting to herself that she wasn't THAT unlucky, however she moved on. She had to try several more commands before opening another menu, her friends list. It listed those she counted as her friends, however it only showed their names and their status I.E that they were alive.
She then opened opened her Quest Journal, though at the moment it was empty. For now, she just shrugged and decided to experiment more with that at a later date. She closed the menu, and then opened her talents. She was surprised to find she had a fairly high fisticuffs skill, along with crafting, were fairly high, with Melee Weapons following close behind. She decided that this was most likely because of her father's training, after all he'd taught his daughter a whole bunch of what he knew. She decided to experiment with talents, particularly her crafting, later. She then opened her Skills, just to find two that seemed to relate to her current situation, and was surprised to find her Intelligence and Dexterity had a +1 Boost. Did gaining this power actually make her more flexible and smart? She had noticed that both school and practice had been ever so slightly easier, so she put it down to that
Then, she opened the obvious window that she had been saving for last. She opened her inventory, just to find it was empty. She immediately noticed a Yen counter, which read a depressing 0, at the bottom of the window. There were multiple rows of empty white boxes, likely representing empty inventory slots, and then there was also a black silhouette of herself, and she noted slots also came out of that, with two larger ones at the bottom. The areas representing her underwear, shirt, pants, and shoes were all filled with the running gear she currently wore, and surprisingly enough an item description consisting of her thoughts on the clothing.
She then decided to experiment, first with the yen counter. She grabbed her wallet and opened it, revealing 30,000 Yen (30$). She pushed the money into, literally, the inventory window and noticed that the counter went up. Then, she grabbed a baseball cap that read "US ARMY", a gift from her dad, and put it on her head. She watched as it appeared on the slot on her head, nodding in satisfaction at having discovered this. She then took off the cap and pushed it into the inventory, finding it vanished from her hand and appeared in the slot. Tapping it again, she found the hat materialized in her hand. Having an idea, she shoved it back into the inventory and then drug it from it's slot to the slot on her head, jumping back in shock when the cap simply materialized on her head. She shook her head and experimentally drug ALL her clothing into slots. Standing there, shivering in her exposedness, she then reversed the process to find that all the items of clothing instantly materialized in their proper places.
Deciding to test this further, she shoved a few items into the inventory. A purse, the hat, a complete change clothes, her backpack and a hoodie. She then strode from her house, out into the streets. Looking around, she found that just as before, everyone had a level indicator, and once again, they were almost all level one. She found herself investigating this phenomena in the only way she knew how, since it hadn't occurred to her to use her laptop. She went to the nearest internet cafe and scoured the internet for more data, only to come up short. Cussing under her breath at her luck, she left the cafe and leaned against the wall outside, mumbling to herself "The Gamer huh? I wonder what caused all this."
