High lend on a wall “Have you heard of Gaia’s Theory?”
Game Life’s eyes widen “Gaia’s Theory? The theory that proposes the Earth we’re on is alive? I heard it throughout novels and various videogames but since people have no proof about it, most of the world believes it’s a stupid theory.”
“Yes, that’s what they said but what if the theory is real? That magic is real, the supernatural and myths are real? That would make every disbelieve of the fantasies we dream and imagine are all real.”
Game Life was amazed “So if it’s all real then what about the abilities like telekinesis and mind-reading is real?”
She nodded “You have became an innate fighter. People born with special abilities. Gaia gives these innate fighters abilities of what they care for the most.”
Game Life tried to put two and two together and found the answer “So I have this power because…”
High Stocks looked at him with an annoyed look “It’s because of your Videogame addition that this happen to you, you addict.”
He looked pissed (“It’s not a crime to love videogames. I’m not doing anything illegal drugs. Why do people say that videogames create an addiction when it’s not killing you physically & mentally?”) He than remember something else “Hey wait a sec? What about your zombie harvest? Were you doing that to tame them into your personal canon fodders, sacrifice them for alchemy or selling them as you grind them up for resource materials?”
High Stocks looked embarrassed “The second one and I don’t know where do you get that idea?”
Game Life looked at her annoyed “Haven’t you watch anime, cartoons or read a light novel or manga? Man… you lived in spend time in reality too long.”
High Stocks snarled at him “I’m starting to think that I’ve spend too much of my time under my grandpa’s watch. I decide as the heir of the Róngyù yuēshù Guild, I decided to let you enter my home tomorrow after school with given permission.”
Game Life raise brow “Why the hell would I need permission? Can’t you just say I was invited?”
High Stocks looked nervous “My home as a protective space that will force those that are with the abyss to enter and be capture or slain.”
Game Life eyes widen “What the @#$%?! Does this happens to every guide in the world?”
High Stock place her arms behind her back “I’m afraid so. Other guilds do this for either power or money.”
Game Life sighed “Power leads to corruption and arrogance while money is the invention of greed. I can’t blame them for that nor believe that slavery is still a thing.”
High Stocks shrugged her shoulder and looked serious “There’s only one I want you to know. Fancy isn’t involve in this nor has knowledge of this.” She marched in front of Game Life “If you force her in this; I will have my entire clan to make sure you never see the light again. Never let her be part of the Abyss.”
‘Bloodthirst Detection Level increase by 3.’
Game Life wasn’t phased by her threat but was shock on the inside (“She really cares about Fancy.”) High Stocks walked away as she turned around.
“Be there at 4pm.” a screen appeared in front of him.
‘Task for the Heir of the Róngyù yuēshù Guild: Be at her home at 4PM!
Limit time: Be at 4PM
Rewards: 90000 EXP, Gain 10% of trust from the heir.
Fail Penalty: Earn enemy status to the Róngyù yuēshù Guild & a permanent separation from Fancy Looks by High Stocks.
He widen his eyes as High Stocks looked at him with a confused look “What are you looking at?”
Game Life looked up “A quest made by you and one question; I don’t even know where your house is?”
She looked annoyed “I’ll text you the directions and the pic of my house.” She walked away as Game Life looked at Fancy Looks. He looked around to see if anyone was around.
“Mini-map.” A small screen appeared to show the area of the Fancy’s home like in a RPG field, some color dots with symbols on them and one black dot were in the house and two outside on the porch (“My best guess is the black dot is Dark Speed. My subconscious must of made it since we all know he hate bright colors.”) No one was near Game Life & Fancy Life, he walked towards her and whisper in her ear “I’m sorry… I need to get stronger for you and my friends. Like Neku Sakurabu in TWEWY (The World Ends With You). And… I do have feelings for you but…” He started to cry “I’m scared that I’ll lose you like my parents. Please… keep away from me until I’m strong.” Game Life kissed her on the forehead as he walked away but didn’t know that someone was listening, a tear escape from Fancy’s eyes.
“Game…” Said Fancy as she started to cry.
The Next Day
Another day of school, another meaningless day of hearing those saying about the career you need to set your future. In Gym class; Rainbow Dash challenge Dark Speed to another meaningless race (To him, every challenge is meaningless since the purpose is to boost another’s ego) and lost again. “AAAUUUGGHH!!! How can I lose to that dark freak?!”
“Because he doesn’t do it for attention.” Answered Game Life as Dark Speed was writing in his book
“Dark Speed shall dub this new poem ‘The Fall of the Arrogant Rainbow’ by Dark Speed.” He waked away as Rainbow growled at him.
In Art, Tough was beating her painting to give it life by painting a pig in a officer of the law’s uniform bugging people. “This is how I see the law in my view.”
Rarity however was disgusted “Darling, you can’t do that.”
Tough Exo looked annoyed “The assignment was to paint how you see in the world through your eyes. I’m painting how I see our law enforcements in my neighbourhood.”
Rarity scuff as she focus her painting.
Game Life was painting the Nintendo 64 Logo in neon paint in 4square art “I’m your friend and I say I won’t make a problem in your work, that isn’t illegal.”
Tough smirk “I won’t go that far. I’ll just insult anyone who loses to me. (Laughing)”
Lunch, The Game Players, High I.Q. was reading, Sweet Tunes was grooving to music and Sharp Shooter was cross-stitching were eating at their table as Game Life noticed something wrong “Where’s Fancy Looks?”
Tough Exo was drinking a liter of cola “I think she’s with Fluttershy? She said she needed to be away since you know who will constantly harass us without her monkeys.”
Game Life looked around to see her eating a salad while looking glum “But…”
“Incoming… The Bitch Queen.” Announce Dark Speed as they all looked to see Sunset Shimmer.
“Nice to meet the gaming nerds.” She said smugly as they groaned annoyed except Dark Speed
“What’s the point of bothering us? There’s nothing to gain and a complete waste of time for both sides?” answered High I.Q.
“I have to make sure that there are no rebels.” She said with a scowl which bugged them
“Dark Speed, can you get rid of her before I stabbed her eyes out?” asked Sharp Shooter which made Sunset backed away
“You wouldn’t dare!” She snarled at them.
Dark Speed pulled out his book and opened it “This one is Dark Speed’s longest one. 6 pages with no breaks.”
Sunset covered her ears and fled as Dark Speed Closed his book
“They always flee away in fear of hearing your stories, in a dark way.” Said Large Harvest.
He gave a OK sign as Sweet Tunes took her headphones off “What’s the point of having the Fall Formal when Sunset Shimmer is the only one running? I mean collected enough signatures to cancel is if one is participating. But no… it’s a school tradition and it has to happen.” She slammed her head on the table “This place blows for being a slave to a tradition that will happen next week.”
They nodded as Game Life looked annoyed (“I just don’t understand? How can Sunset be at LV 33?! And what’s with that ‘Former Student of Princess Celestia’ title? Principal Celestia is not royal.”) Game Life shook his head (“And why is Fancy Looks staying away from me?”) Game sighed as he took a bite at his burger.
Music Class, The Music Teacher allowed Sweet Tunes to allow to play a song that involves a positive and happy feeling, even if its poison to Dark Speed.
“Dark Speed will respect the game that involve a Yoshi that was colored in the opposite bright colors but please… let Dark Speed wear earplugs.” He begged.
“I’m afraid not, Mr. Dark. Its a must unless you want to hear it again?” said the teacher which made Dark slammed his head on his desk.
“If Dark Speed die; spread Dark Speed’s ashes on a festival of positive emotions and say in Dark Speed’s will; Dark Speed’s ashes are cursed and trying to cheer Dark Speed’s spirit will only make it worse.” Said Dark Speed who looked at High I.Q. who replied with a thumbs-up.
History Class, Sharp Shooter easily passed a pop quiz when the teacher was taking a nap. Applejack was going bonkers and noticed Sharp Shooter done “Can you ‘elp me a smidgen?” She whispered to Sharp Shooter. She refused which made Applejack unhappy“Please… I need a good grade for Granny Smith to let me ‘ave a raise.” She rubbed her fingers and thumb together was Applejack snarled “Fine… 10 bucks.” She showed her answers and a note ‘make one mistake to avoid suspensions.’
Game Life was writing which was easy for some reason (“Maybe the increase of my wisdom and intelligence made this happen?” Hmm… if my intelligence was even higher… College would be a snap.”)
School ended at 2:45 and Sunset Shimmer was examining the statue “Weirdo.” said Game Life as he was the last one to leave and got a text ‘This is the way to my house. Don’t be late’ He groaned as he noticed Fancy Looks. “Hey Fancy!” He ran next to her “Are you excited for when I get enough cash for the Switch?”
She looked at him and nodded sadly “Yeah… I need to get home.”
Game Life looked worried “You okay? You were feeling blue through the whole day and I’m worried.”
Fancy looked at Game Life with a snarl “NOW you’re worried?!” she scared him a bit “I’m just having a bad day. I need some space, please and… searching for a moment I need.” Fancy walked away as Game Life watch her going home.
“Fancy…” He looked away “Why do I feel so guilty? … Oh… I want to but…” Game sighed sadly and left the school area.
