Chapter 10

Tough Exo was in an alley beating up some punks “THIS WILL TEACH YOU TO FORCE A TOLL TO A MAN WHO’S RUNNING TO THE HOSPITAL TO SEE THE BIRTH OF HIS NEW KID!” She tied them up in their own chains to dumpster as her phone rang

 “High I.Q. Thank god for the web to allow people to set their own ring-tones. This is how we found our own tones to recognize who’s calling or texting us.”

Melody was grooving to the beat of DDR: Mario Mix, “I love this game! Why didn’t Nintendo made another like this for the Wii U or The Switch? I can imagine different Nintendo games having their own remixes!” Her phone rang as she paused “High I.Q.? He never calls at night."

Dark Speed was meditating in his room as his cell phone rang which made him open his eyes “Dark Speed wasn’t expecting calls at night.”

Large Harvest was making candles in the barn as his phone rang “Huh?”

Sharp Shooter was on the roof with a super soaker that she modified into a sniper gun. “Okay, Double S. In this soaker, you have enough puppy piss to soak an arrogant neighbor who took your BB gun after his jog.” She saw her neighbor coming back and blasted him as he screamed in disgust. “Target; soaked.” Her phone vibrated as she looked at it “Brainiac?

Fancy Looks was wearing a tank top and shorts, sweating like crazy as she was working out “Think smaller ass. Smaller gut. Thinner thighs!” She heard a knocking on her door “You’re not allow to enter Dad!”

“Nice guess but it’s mommy!”

“Come in.” The door opened as a woman named Beauty, with French Rose skin, Mint Green long luscious hair and Ochre eyes plus extremely voluptuous that makes a married guy be killed by his wife.

“Fancy sweetie, I know you always hate how your body develops but trying to change your body by force isn’t the way to make you feel better.”

Fancy look down “I don’t want people to stare at me and get pervy thoughts. I only think the sons of my dad’s friends only want me for my body.”

Beauty smile “Does Game Life like you for your body?” Fancy shook your head “Did Game said anything about your body?”

Fancy try to remember “He did said I’m perfect the way I am. I’m still me no matter what.”

“Then he’s a true and honest real friend who loves you as much as I do.”

Fancy blushed “Mom… you’re embarrassing me. I mean I know that I love him but how can I tell him that when my own dad bugs my own phone whenever I’m going to tell him?”

Beauty scowled “That man… I swear he’s too overprotective on our own daughter. Don’t worry, honey. I know that man turns off the bugging when you’re home but I’ll find a way for you and your arcade buddy, my little devil cake.”

Fancy smile as her phone rang “Huh? High I.Q. never calls at night.” Beauty grabbed it and took a peek

“Hmmm… High I.Q.? That smart friend of yours? It look like he send a video to you.”

Fancy grabbed a towel and wipe herself dry “Can you play it for me?”

Beauty play it as she watch to see and looked shocked as Fancy noticed her expression “Mom? What’s wrong?”

Beauty regain her focus “Uh… I think your friend is doing some fun in video editing.”

Fancy took a peek and saw Game Life vanished in the library. “Whoa… I didn’t know I.Q. was good at video editing?”

“Yes… I’m going out for a jog.

Fancy looked at her “Right now? But it’s 7PM. Dad finds out, he will freak if you leave without protection.”

Beauty smile “Before I married that man; I was a train boxer and punching me in the tits only piss me off.” She walked out while looking smug.

Fancy smile a bit “That is why you’re my inspiration.”

Beauty smile turned into a menacing glare “I hope that is the real Game Life.”

Back to the others (Remember the order from top to bottom)

“What the @#$%?”

“Huh?”

“Dark Speed is integrate.”

“Is that real?”

“Oh my bullets.”

Back at GL’s home
”Bored. Bored. Bored.” Game was laying on the coach saying the same thing as he was waiting for the Switch to charge completely since he forgot to charge it and his mom did text him not to play videogames once every 24 hours a month. “Of all the days she place it. I’m still wondering about my plans to learn my new powers.” He looked at the time “Maybe I should go out and train but I should go easy. I can use the new dungeons I can use.” He opened his stats and looked at the dungeon skill.

[Making Instant Dungeon (Active) LV 9 EXP: 22.19%] - A Skill to make an instant Dungeon. You can create a more powerful one by increasing your skill level.

“Hmmm… I plan to attack zombies with Salamander. Maybe I should try ghosts with Toxia and Azul to see their powers and moves and my slimes can earn some EXP for tougher enemies.” Game got up from the coach and walked out of his home to see if anyone was watching “I.D. Create: Ghosts, easy.” Everything went silent as he walked around the neighborhood to see unpleasant phantoms of humans that had stab wounds, gun shoots, slit throats or looked OD. Observe.”

Ghosts LV 6 - 9

Spirits of the deceased that lost their lives through crime and violence. Though lost it’s physical body, it gains mystical powers for its lost.

“What I wouldn’t give to have the Poltergust 3000 right about now.” The ghost were floating slowly towards him as he looked pissed off and remember what he did “Oh right. Easy mode. Make enemies slow and weak. Blueberry, Cherry, Honeydew, Toxia and Azul.” A portal opened as all 5 monsters came out

“Hi boss!” Said the Slime de Trio

“Greetings boss.” Said Toxia and Azul

“Hey! Now attention!” They got in line “We are going to train a bit. This Ghost I.D. is on easy so I can see your skills. Remember this is an easy place so don’t get disappointed about them being weak. Oh! Before I forget, Toxia. I see you don’t have a weapon.

Toxia gave a bow “Yes boss. Do you have one for me if you mind me asking?”

Game open his inventory and pulled out his metal bat “Will this do?”

Toxia looked at it and was marveled by it along with Azul “It’s a metal club but it feels lightweight!” She was a ghost and smacked it as it vanished “It also give massive damage to enemies! Boss! What is this weapon called?”

Game looked confused at them “It’s a metal bat.” he said

They looked at it “But it doesn’t look like a bat.”

Game smacked himself on the head (“I guess creatures made from I.D.s don’t know common tools or items that aren’t medieval or ancient times.”) “It’s not an animal. It’s called a bat… as a nickname to a smaller club.”

They were amazed as Game looked embarrassed “I swear this night couldn’t get any weirder.”

Before he could say anything he was grabbed by the neck by one hand “*GAHHH!!!*”

“BOSS!” His monsters yelled as they tried to move

“Stay where you are or he dies!” yelled the assailant but Game know that voice

“Miss Beauty?”

The assailant dropped him as Game saw his HP was already at 5. (“MY HP!!!”) He turned around to see Fancy Looks’ mom Beauty in a female Spartan outfit with a large cleavage but he quickly looked away and shielded his eyes did saw her LV

<???>
LV??? Beauty

“MISS BEAUTY!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING?!?!?!?!”

She looked at him “Answer my question! WHERE IS THE REAL GAME LIFE?!?!?!”

“Not again! I’ve been through this shit! I AM the real Game Life! I lost my parents when I was 6! I’ve been friends with Fancy Looks for 11 years and I burned up a $1000 dollar bill that cost Fancy her right eye! And I always think she’s hotter then her mom!”

Beauty looked shock and blushed “I never thought I heard that until my 70’s. You think she’s hotter then me? Gamey… you pervert of a teen.”

Game lowered his head “Don’t judge me. I develop feeling for her for so long, she’s a Birth of Venus to me.”

Miss Beauty smirked “I am hoping you become my son-in-law but that aside. I want answers young man.”

“Right… after I heal myself and you meet my tame monsters.” Game walked away as she looked at his monsters who looked angry at her “She’s my friend’s mom who thought I was an imposter. HEAL.’

He glowed a bight green as they calm down a bit as Beauty bowed

“I’m very sorry that I attack Gamey. I thought he wasn’t the Gamey I knew. I hope you can accept my apology. My name is Beauty, mother of Fancy Looks who your boss and her are in a unstable relationship, no thanks to my idiot husband who I love.”

“HEY!” They looked at each other as the Slime de Trio walked towards her

“I’m Blueberry!”

“I am Cherry.”

“My name… is… Honeydew.”

They looked at her as she blushed (“They're SO CUTE!!!”)

Azul and Toxia stood their “I am Azul the Blue Lizardman.

“And I am Toxia, a Lamia.” she hissed at her.

“I was wondering how Gamey got in the Abyss?”

“Gaia gave me this power.” They looked to see Game Life all healed up as Beauty was surprised

“That was quick. I thought it would take 40 minutes, not 1.”

Game looked a bit nervous “Well… My powers are a bit unique. ‘I am The Gamer.’”

“Gamer? So that what High Stocks reported about.”

Game looked surprised “Don’t tell me The Cheapskate knows me?”

Beauty shook her head “He’s on a business trip and won’t be back for 3 weeks.”

Game sighed in relief “If he knew then he got a reason to keep me away from Fancy.”

Beauty walked towards him and place her hands on his shoulders “Gamey… I knew I can trust you but with this… I need to know more about your new powers.”

Game looked at her and nodded “I hope this will help. Invite Beauty.” A screen appeared before Beauty as her eyes widen.

“What?”

5 minutes later

Game & Beauty were watching his monsters were slaying ghosts that were floating and being slain. The Slimes new skill ‘Shapeshift’ work to their advantage. They can mold their hands into a knife, battle axe or mace.

“I am amaze by their powers.”

“I know. I never seen Azul and Toxia’s magical skills nor my Slime de Trio new forms.”

Beauty looked at him “New forms?” Game opened a screen to show Miss Beauty “I found this before I came out to train.

[Enemy Book] - An Encyclopedic of Enemies The Gamer Fought.

He pressed it to show them how they looked like before as blobs of slimes.

“This was them before I gave them Slime Cores.” He showed a new pic of them looked like adorable toys. “This was them before they evolve.” Miss Beauty was shocked

“So the info was true! You can make anything real.” Game looked nervous

“Yeah… don’t tell the Major Pain-in-the-ass. He’ll will turn me into a resource.”

Beauty made a cross on her chess “I won’t but you’ll have to cut me in on how much you make.”

Game looked unhappy “Is money the main reason for the Abyss?”

She looked at him and gave a sad smile “I’m afraid so Gamey. It was how Wealthy Mind and I made our fortune.”

“As co-managers of the company that sells spellbooks, weapons and slaves that High Stocks talked about?”

“Did she said that?” He nodded “Not exactly. We’re actually co-manager of our family guide that sells anything worth a ton of money and capture criminals as slaves to make them suffer for trying to kidnap my baby.”

Game backed away “I literally can’t see you like the lady I know.”

She smirked “I know but this is who I am in the Abyss,”

“Okay. I’ll sell you the pelts of the beast monsters I slain with my Tamed monsters at a Beast I.D.”

She looked curious “Let me see one of them.” Game was about to opened his inventory-

“BOSS!” They were surprised to see Blueberry holding a small marble. “I got this when I defeated a ghost! I want you to have it!” Blueberry handed to Game Life

“Observe.”

Ghost Marble (Small) - Energy of a spirit turned solid. Little energy inside it. When gather 50 of them; you can create a orb that can summon a Phantom Warrior.

“I am now regretting that I set this I.D. on easy.”

“Easy? What do you mean easy?” Asked Miss Beauty

“I uh… made this dungeon. I put it on easy for the Slimes when they evolve in the afternoon and the others to see their skills.”

“Uh… huh.”

“And in some videogames; the easier the battles, the less EXP and very common loot you earn.”

“Amazing… and these become real whenever you create or enter a Private Space?”

“Yes Ma’am.”

“I can see how High Stocks’ family earned two hundred thousand dollars for what you gave them.”

Game’s eyes widen “TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND?!?! I got 5500 for that!!! I’VE BEEN RIPPED OFF!!!”

Beauty looked at him and hugged him as he was being smothered by a H-Cup rack. “Calm down Gamey.”

Game calmed down as he was red in the face “I… needed a… hug… but…”

“It’s okay. I won’t tell Fancy.”

“I’ve been cheated and it wasn’t a video game championships.”

“Need another hug?” She ask which made him get a massive chill in his spine

“NO I AM GOOD!” She smiled and patted him on the head. “I really hate arrogant rich people who ripped people off.”

“There there. I’ll buy from you but I’ll examine it myself.”

Game looked at her and nodded “Okay since I trust you a lot and you would make a great Godmother.”

She looked surprised and smile “Thank you.”

“Okay everyone! Come back!” They others came back while carrying something in their hands/claws.

“Boss we got some marbles!” Said Cherry

“And… some green… ghost slime… in bottles” Said Honeydew.

“Along with this boss.” Said Toxia as she handed a creepy ghost design staff.

“And this ring.” Said Azul as he was holding a ring.

“Huh? Observe.” as he looked at the loot

“Whoa.” as his subconscious was above him ("I have a way to see Fancy and make out with her when we're a couple")

“What is it dear.” asked Miss Beauty.

“This equipment. I never thought I get items like this buy chance. Unless…” He looked at Miss Beauty “It’s you Miss Beauty.”

“Excuse me?”

“When you join my party, your stats gave the party a mega boost in drop items.”

Miss Beauty wonder and smile “I hope you don’t mind me helping you time from time.”

Game looked worried “I guess if you don’t rip me off.”

She laughed “Gamey… I never rip you off. You’re the only boy that made my daughter happy and pisses my husband's arrogant ass.”

He smiled a bit as a screen appeared in front to them.

WARNING!!! DUNGEON BOSS IS APPEARING!”

They saw swarms of ghost were merging together into a giant specter with the faces of people screaming on its skin.

“Holy Chaos Emeralds! Observe!”

Legion Ghost LV 27

HP: 8000 MP 6000

The aggregate of spirits filled with vengeance. It appears when there is a large-scale massacre of ghosts. It’s magical strength is increased by the merging of the spirits and is able to steal the soul of the living.

“Oh… How many ghosts you all slain?”

“140.” (Blueberry)

“135.” (Cherry)

“145.” (Honeydew)

“240.” (Azul)

“225.” (Toxia)

“Crappy new educational television. It’s here because you guys killed too many ghosts!” They lowered their heads “But this is a first to me, so this isn’t your fault.” The raise their head and look happy. “Now let’s kill this bastard!”

“No.” said Miss Beauty. They looked at her and were confused “I will handle this myself. This is my act of trust but I might need a weapon Gamey if you have one?”

Game opened his inventory and pull out a machete “I hope you don’t destroy this. I don’t want to pay a lot of cash for a weapon which may alert some cops.” Game handed it to Miss Beauty as she smile

“I won’t lose that easily. Have it back.” She ran faster than Dark Speed when he’s not trying at all and jumped high to the Legion Ghost’s gut and punched it as it fell to the ground. She landed on the face as she clutch her hand on the machete as it glowed in energy as she dropped down to give it the final blow in the head as it vanished

“Whoa…” Game and his monsters said as Game Life earn EXP as his monsters earn some level ups. They ran to where she was smile

“That was an amazing! I needed a real workout.”

Game saw something shining as he walked towards it to see a stack of cash, 6 small bottles of red liquid and a book.

“Gamey.”

“Yes.”

“Is that money?”

“I think so.” A awkward breeze pass them as he picked it up “In games, enemy opponents in RPGs dropped cash but these weaker monsters never dropped coins or a dollar or two. Do you think this is real?”

He handed the stack to her and hear it as she flipped it. “I can’t tell but I think the bank should see this.” she handed back to him as he pocket it.

“Now the bottles.”

The Lowest Grade of Recovery Potion, Level: Easy x6 - A low class potion. Drinking this will recover 200 HP Immediately. It taste like Fruit Punch.

“OH. MY. GOD.” Which Miss Beauty looked surprised and wonder about what he was surprised about

“What is it Gamey?”

“These are Recovery potions!” Her eyes widen as she grabbed one

“Recovery Potions?! There so expensive, they costs $10,000 for one! How much does it heal?!”

“200 HP.” He grabbed 3 of them and handed to her “Here you go.” Which surprised her

“You’re giving these to me?”

“I’ll see about them and check to see if I can get more about them. Plus you help me for ”

She smiled as she rubbed her cheek on one of them.

Game looked at the book

Magic Draining - Level: Rare. This skill will allow the caster to steal the magical energy of another. Use on the undead to steal their life- force and transfer it to Mana. It is also possible to transfer Mana into another ally and life force to another.

“AMAZING!!!” Game yelled as Miss Beauty nearly dropped her potions.

“What’s wrong Gamey?!” Game showed her a book

“It’s a skill book! A spellbook that will allow me to absorb others’ life force.”

She was amazed at the book. “Let me have it. I’ll make a copy out of it.”

“Okay.” He looked at the time it’s 8PM. “It’s getting late. I’m going home.”

“Have a good night, Gamey.” She walked away as Game looked at the loot but remember something important

"Miss Beauty!"

"Yes?"

"Does Fancy know the Abyss?"

She stopped and looked down "No... I am trying not to get her involved." She clutch her fist as it glowed ominously "They are bastards who would dare to steal from our guild even would be stupid enough to kidnap my daughter for power. We syphon her powers without hurting her in anyway to keep her safe. Hunters never capture people with no supernatural powers but they always come here and I capture them with no regrets as I make them suffer."

Game backed away from her "I swear your Lock-up as a female." She looked at him

"Excuse me?"

"Never mind. I'll keep her away from the Abyss but one day; she'll know and refuse to leave."

Miss Beauty closed her eyes "I know and I hope you protect her."

"I will." She walked away with potions in her arms as Game looked at his monsters. "Now let’s go home guys.” Game’s monsters cheered as a portal opened “Good night. (He opened his inventory and took out 8 (Large) Wild Beast Meat) Take these with you as a reward.”

“THANKS BOSS!” They said as they entered the portal.

“Now to clean this mess up.” He opened his inventory and dropped everything in it. “I should try to combine the marbles into an orb but I’m going to bed. Escape.” The sky shattered as he went home.
