“You guys are getting stronger. I also see that the Slime trio’s levels are max.” They looked surprised as looked at each other until a screen appeared in front of him.

Your Slimes have reached max level! Would you like your Slimes to Evolve? YES? NO?

“EVOLVE?!” The monsters looked at him and wonder why he screamed “It says that Blueberry, Cherry & Honeydew can evolve!” The Slimes looked at each other

“Evolve?” Asked Blueberry

“We can do that?” said Cheery.

“Will… it… hurt?” Asked Honeydew.

Game Life looked at bit worried “If it dies; I’ll cancel it but it’s your choice my little pals.” They looked at each other and nodded

“We trust you boss!”

Game nodded and pressed yes as they glowed in a bright light as they grew a bit bigger but were humanoid-shape children but their slime goo-like is still their skin. Game covered his eyes “I see you three haven’t taken any damage.”

They looked at each other and cheered at they felt a bit stronger as Game checked their stats

Game looked at them “You guys can return to your original forms but I think you guys need some clothes that’s water-proof. Swimsuits for little kids is most appropriated for them but I think you should head back to the Monster Farm.” He opened a portal “Take some meat for you guys until I call you all again and I’ll get the three of you some clothes.” They jumped happily as they grabbed some meat and went back in the MF (Monster Farm). Azul & Toxia looked at the feathers

“May we take these feathers sir?” asked Azul

“We believe that we can create a pillow from it if you allow us to keep it?” Said Toxia.

Game nodded “Sure. Just promise me you’ll make me one when we collected more feathers.” She bowed to Game Life as she and Azul slither to the portal as it vanished. He collected his loot and tossed it in his Inventory. “It’s a good thing I toss my backpack in there. I think I had enough of here. Escape.” The sky shattered as Game Life headed home.

Back at his house, Game found a note on the table. ‘Be home late, order dinner or cook dinner. Love Mother.’ Game sighed as he order some steam dumplings, Shrimp & Broccoli and 4 egg rolls. He completed his homework in 10 minutes while waiting for his dinner. “I am pasting this shit easily. Is this Gamer power a God Cheat against education? BIG TIME AND LOVING IT!!!” Game relax on the coach “I nearly forgot to check my stats.” A screen appeared along with new screens that he didn’t check.

“Nice and to learn the magic of darkness!” He pulled out Summoning Darkness book

This is a Skill Book. [Summoning Darkness Book]
Would you like to learn this skill? [Yes] [No]

Game pressed yes and it turned into dark energy as it enter Game’s brain. “That was creepy but awesome in games. I wonder if summoning an element is similar to Golden Sun? Man… I love that game but I wish that Cliffhanger would end already and make the 4th for the 3DS or possibly the Switch!” A screen appeared before him which was the same thing but with addition news.

“Hmm… I got enough time till my dinner so… Enter Empty I.D.” Everything when silent as he looked outside to see no one, not even birds. “Now to set up a circle. It’s a good think Mama Sweet Meds has some chalk from my youth. Oh how I miss drawing Gameboys.” Game drew a large circle, another circle near it and a star that touches the where the points are touching the outer circle. “There now.” Game shut his eyes and focus his energy. (“Powers of Mana inside of me.”) He place his hand on the circle as it glowed bright “I, Game Life, Now summon thee by the ancient contract. I wish for thy arrival whole wholeheartedly. COME FORTH! FIRE SPIRIT, SALAMANDER!”

A bright flash happen on the circle as a ball of fire appeared as it started to form into humanoid-shape. As a boy with orange skin, yellow eyes, in a red karate outfit and his hair was fire instead of hair. Game saw that the spirit was small as a bouncy ball (“Is this tiny kid… the fire spirit?”)

“Me. Here. You. Summoner.”

“Whoa! I can hear your thoughts.” The Fire Spirit looked up at Game Life.

“Why did you call me?”

Game cleared his throat “Here is the word by the immemorial contract. My true name is Game Life. I give you my true name. Please give me your name.”

The Fire Spirit looked at him as Game Life felt a blast of memories as he close his eyes, felt the energy of magma and heat (“Where the hell am I? This memory… it isn’t human nor animal’s.”) He was pushed upwards to the sky to see lands of earth and massive body of water. (“Ah… so that where I was. I was in the core of the Earth. The fiery heart of the Earth and memory of Fire.”) Game Life continue to see the memories of Fire as he saw himself. (Is that my body?”) His body looked like it was made from lava (“Why am I made from lava?”) Just as he wonder why, he felt a massive amount of pain (AAAAGGGGGHHHH!!! IT HURTS!!! IT’S LIKE MY BODY IS BEING SET A BLAZE!!!”) The Fire Spirit walked on his hand as the flames were blown away as Game was back into his body (“The pain as disappear and joy and relaxation has come. This must be the signification of the soul.”)

(“My name. Salamander. Me am Salamander. Are you Game Life?”)

Game opened his eyes as he looked down at Salamander. “Yes, I am Game Life.”

(“I like you. Game Life, do you like me?”)

“Yep, I like you too.”

Salamander’s eyes glowed (“We are one by the immemorial contract.”)

“We share our souls as one.

(“I’m Salamander.”)

“I’m Game Life.”

Energy from Game Life and energy from Salamander started to merge together.

(“Till our souls meet the end.”)

“We will be together forever.”

A bright flash happen as Salamander was life-size

“Call me often, okay? Call me a lot!” Said Salamander

“Okay I will.”

Salamander smile as he vanished

Game fell to the ground as he breath heavily “If that takes a lot of strength to make a contract then I better make a contract with darkness next time.” Game got up and wobble a bit as he looked up “Escape.” everything shattered as he heard a doorbell. “Time to eat.” He opened his inventory and pull out $35 as he walked towards the door to see the delivery woman. “That will be $23.66.” I gave her $35 “Keep the change and a $5 tip.” She smile “Thanks Gamer King.” She handed him the meal and he waved goodbye. Game ate his dinner and wonder about what to do about his Salamander. “Maybe I should practice with him in the Zombie I.D. I can’t wait to use a double Flamethrower from my hands. Now to play some tunes."

Meanwhile in High I.Q.’s home
High I.Q. Was in his room on his computer as his door opened “Identify yourself.”

“It’s just me, MCP.”

High I.Q. Turned around on his chair to see a teal-skinned teen wearing glasses that were dark tinned along with eye shields, emerald hair and Bloodstone-color eyes on a wheelchair with a potion with a skull and cross bones picture on a card attached to a Trilby.

“Death Alchemist... Hello brother.”

“Don’t hello me. I just came to get my crap.” He pulled stuff out from his bag

High I.Q. Turned looked at his brother “I apologize for my cruel expression but I was wondering if you would reconsider on joining ‘The Game Players’ Guild in the MMORPG. We would like to a Master Thief in our party that we know and trust.”

D.A. Looked at him and sighed “I told you, I don’t go outside anymore because of the lost of my legs. I even stop going to CHS until there’s Handicap ways for me. There is nothing in your party that can change my mind.”

“We have a Nintendo Switch.”

“I accept the invitation.”

H.I.Q. Smiled “I can finally have some time with my brother.”

D.A. Gave a sad frown “I can see that some permanent changes to family can lead to separations in family and companions. Not even talking about it can help.” Said H.I.Q.

“Time is a rough progress to heal wounds to one’s psyche. There are no shortcuts to healing; not even power beyond science that can make a difference. If it did exist, it is nothing more than a selfish ideal for good and happiness without learning the negative consequences when you achieve them. Your friend Dark Speed always blogs the negative effects of dreams and ideals coming true.”

H.I.Q. Nodded since it’s true about him. “I can see that. Now to hack the school security system, again.”

D.A. Rolled to him “I fail to see why you do this?”

“To laugh at teachers and students who do the most idiotic things while no one is watching.”

D.A. Smirked “Show me some.”

They were watching recorded videos of the teachers; Vice-Principal Luna was singing Habanero from Carmen, Coach Spitfire was doing ballet, CMC were competing in a Belching Contest.

H.I.Q & D.A. Were laughing loudly at what they watch “I can see why you enjoy it.”

“Yes… and let’s see our Gamer King doing his time in detention.”

D.A. Raise his brow “Your Demon Overlord Leader was in detention? May I ask why?”

“He pushed the Bitch Queen, Sunset Shimmer into a trashcan.”

D.A. Smiled “And I though I piss her off when I return to school or Tough Exo gave her an atomic wedgie.”

“That is a 87.10% probability.”

D.A. Watched the video and notice something odd “Wait! Go back to where Game Life was walking around the book rows!”

H.I.Q. Rewind that part and set it in slow motion to witness Game Life vanishing in thin air. “That is highly impossible! There is nothing on this planet can make humans vanish and this was no system glitch!” H.I.Q. Was going crazy as D.A. Stopped him.

“If you can’t solve the problem by mind; try to search for the solution from the source.”

“Game Life.” Said H.I.Q. As he looked at that video.
