The Game Players

by GamePlayer64


Game Players 37

Game was still in a state of depression as Fancy and Relax were trying to cheer Game. “Now I know you didn’t mean to make Prank & Sea a part of The Abyss, but we have to protect them.” Said Fancy as Relax looked at them.

“Uh… I may not be an expert at these things, but are they both rookies?” She said as Fancy looked worried.

“True, but high-level rookies.” She said as Relax looked at Prank & Sea who were dancing on the UFO as Sea made her dolls tap-dance as they were tapping Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

“I guess imagination is their fuel.” Answered Relaxing as Game groaned.

“How come I did not remove them from my team?” Said Game “I made sure that the team up removes all non-members of The Game Players.” Explained Game as Fancy and Relax didn’t have the answer as Prank and Sea pulled out cards.

“We are Jr. Game Players!” Said Sea.

“Fancy’s mama made these for us because we want to become super heroes like our big brother!” Said Prank as Game’s eyes widen in shock as Fancy smacked her face.

“Mom…” she said as Game looked at them.

“Oh… crud…” He said as Fancy looked at the cards.

Prank Life; Jr. Member of the Game Players Club.
Sea Life; Jr. Member of the Game Players Club.

“Oh… Words cannot describe how something made of plastic could prevent 2 children from being removed from Game’s team. They farmed a lot of experience points from Game.” she said as Game looked at them.

“Like I said before; sis is gonna kill me.” Said Game as Prank and Sea turned to Game and looked depressed.

“Big brother…” said Sea.

“We’re sorry for not telling you the truth.” Said Prank.

“We wanted to be heroes.” Said Sea.

“Like you and the others. We want to be like you and help our friends.” Said Prank as Game and Fancy looked at each other and sighed. “We want to be… not useless.” He said as he and Sea cried, but Game rubbed their heads.

“You’re not useless.” Said Game. “Its… just that… your both my little siblings, the 1st time I felt like a big brother and… you 2 came into my life.” He said as they just looked at him since they were 5 and didn’t understand big words. “Uh… I just want to be a good big brother. I don’t want to see you 2 hurt, that’s all.” He said as they hugged him. Fancy and Relax smile at them, but Game sighed. “To be honest, I don’t know if it’s possible to remove Abyss Magic from another, but I believe there’s a way to seal it, like wearing a Magic Cape from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Be invisible in plain sight.” Said Game as Fancy looked curious as well as Relax.

“How?!” They both said.

“I asked your Dwarf Vivian Fancy, if there’s a metal that can hide another magic in plain sight. There is but she needs a fragment of it to find the ores, harvest them and create them.” Explain Game as they both like the idea but frown that they don’t have that metal. Relax realized something.

“My necklace…” She said as they turned to her. “My pendant sealed my curse and hid me! Maybe that’s the metal we’re looking for.” She said as pulled out her necklace and turned to Fancy who nodded.

“Monster Farm, Vivian.” She said as Vivian waved at them as Prank and Sea jump to Vivian and hugged her.

“She’s big!” Said Sea.

“She’s cool!” Said Prank as Vivian blushed for being complimented at Relax handed her the necklace.

“Can you find the ore like this?” Asked Fancy as Vivian felt it with her hand and nodded. She gave them a thumbs up as she went back to the MF as Game looked relax and looked at the twins.

“Now, since we have a way of finding the ore, we need to do some training.” He said as raised his hand “ID Create: None!” He yelled as the entire room turned into a plain field.

“Wow…” Said the twins and Relax.

“Yeah but before we start our training. I have some bad news for Relaxing.” He said as Relax looked worried. “Due to your curse, you can’t level up nor increase your stats.” He said as Fancy looked worried. 

“But… doesn’t Relaxing need those to get strong?” Asked Fancy as Relax looked scared.

“Yes… But it doesn’t mean she can’t learn from us.” Said Game “I have the [Training] skill and can transfer a skill to her and maybe you can too.” Said Game as Fancy nodded.

“And the items we collected can help.” Said Fancy “Maybe we ask Vivian can make an accessory that absorbs EXP and gives Relax more levels until it can transfer the levels into her until her curse is removed.” She said Relax looked happy to hear that.

“I would love that. I don’t want to perish instantly.” She said as Fancy and Game looked at each other as Game set up some training dummies as he backed away.

“Okay… Prank found his weapon; a slingshot which I have no problem with, and Sea’s weaponry are Dolls.” Explained Game as Relax looked confused as she noticed that one of the dolls was holding a switchblade and turned to her.

“(Creepy Toy Voice) Mama… Mama…” Relax gulped.

“Creepy…” She said as she examined the many items. “How do you guys managed to hold all this stuff?” She asked as Game and Fancy looked at each other.

“Well… to be honest, as [The Gamer] my powers are like a video game. Skills I need to learn has some requitements, an inventory that hold who knows how many stuff, along with weapons. I mean even my [Hyper Mode] was something I never thought be possible. I mean I unlocked it from a save file in a flash drive of a MMORPG game that is no longer online. It gave me my game avatar’s outfit and triple my stats.” Explained Game, Fancy remember something about [Hyper Mode] as well.

“Didn’t Tunes also unlock that skill? She became a mermaid with flowing water for hair while riding on her 1st Surfboard.” She explained while Game looked at her and nodded.

“It also turn her normal attacks, physical and magic into elemental attacks.” She explained as Game crossed his arms.

“Apparently it involves personal objects that meant great importance to a certain player, emotionally is transform into a [Hyper Mode] Skill with different effects. Our appearances will change and give a strong boost, but the reloading time takes days.” Explain Game.

“So we use is as an emergency, but I have to unlock mine, along with the others.” Said Tunes, Relax put some thought into it.

“So… it’s like Lego Ninjago? You must discover your true potential to gain [Hyper Mood]?” She said which made Game and Fancy looked at each other and nodded.

“Sure, let’s go with that.” They both said as Relax looked at her hands.

“I hope my [Hyper Mood] isn’t my curse.” She said which made Fancy scared, Game gulped. Prank and Sea looked at each other.

“What curse?” They both asked which made teens looked at each other.

“Uh… she turns into a werewolf.” Said Game to make it easier for them to understand.

“COOL!” Yelled Prank and Sea which made Relax a bit uneasy.

“Yeah… cool.” She said sadly.

“Like that old game where a man becomes a werewolf, dragon, bear and tiger.” Said Sea.

“We got a lot to work on.” Said Game while pacing around. “Until we find something for you to do, I should give you one of my skills.” He said while looking at his list of skills.

“How about healing Skills? No wait… I mean even when you’re getting good at healing, the higher tiers will require more MP.”

“What about the [Tame] skill?” Asked Fancy but she realized that even if she could, some monsters will act stubborn and refuse to fight. She recalls Game’s Kobold Merchant as they put some thought into it. Relax sat on the floor as Prank & Sea were playing with their Abyss toys. Prank had some life-size action figure guardians did some poses and punches while Sea had the porcelain dolls dancing. Relax try to think of something she could do and remember something she did with her aunt on her dad’s side of the family.

“Hey…” Game and Fancy looked at her “I could…” She paused and shook her head. “No, it’s a stupid idea.” Fancy place her hand on Relax’s shoulder.

“No. As a member, we allow any ideas.” She said as she pull Relax up.

“Well… I played my share of video games. Even mobile games and some of them have collecting resources to make stuff and create stuff out of it. Maybe… I could be a crafter?” She said, which made Game and Fancy looked at each other.

“Crafter?” They said which Prank and Sea think what they think it is.

“Like arts and crafts?” They asked.

“Sure, let’s go with that.” Said Relax.

“Hmmm…” think Game. “I mean, we normally collect our resources from instant dungeons, but it mostly involves slaying monsters.” He answered truthfully “But… one of my monsters is a living plant monster and whenever she swallow any seeds, she can create a duplicate of herself as a child while growing whatever flower, fruit or vegetable of the seed she ate where we can harvest food from her.” Explained Game.

“Except…” Said Fancy as they turn to her, “We can’t harvest meat from monsters. I mean it would be involve killing them, but we won’t do that kind of heartlessness.” She said sadly, since hunting monsters is the only way to get meat. 

“So… can you harvest mineral resources? Like Coal, Stones, Lead & Iron?” She asked as they shook their heads. She put some thought into it and snapped her fingers. “I GOT IT!” she yelled. “I could make resource point where we can get mineral ores!” She said happily. Game and Fancy liked the idea, but remember one flaw.

“But where it’s going to be?” Asked Fancy

“Any ID that has been ignored for too long, Scraps get made.” Said Game.

“Mom told us about them. What do they look like?” Asked Relax.

“Giant globs with teeth that attack their fellow scraps and eat them to gain stronger. The more they eat, they’ll turn into demons, escape to the real world, and kill people.” Said Fancy as they all looked worried.

“Even if you made an ID for collecting resources, mineral-theme Scraps might come to existence because of it.” Said Game. They all groan as they tried to think. Relax realized something and looked at Game.

“Wait, a minute? Tell me how you can have fruits, vegetables, and flowers again?” She asked.

“My monster, Seedling grows them from her head. She’s a living plant creature and Large’s Monster Farm, where his monsters live, is an actual farm.” He explained as she snapped her fingers.

“Then… I’ll make it in my monster farm!” She said proudly as Game stopped her.

“To get one, you need to tame a monster.” He said, which made her gulp in fear, but Game snapped his fingers. “I remember I gave Fancy’s mom a baby slime.” He said. Fancy looked at Game and nodded. “I got an idea, but first, give me your hands.” Said Game which surprised Relax, which made her blush.

“Uh… Game… I… don’t think…”

“It’s the only way I can give you a skill I know.” He explained.

“Oh… really?” She asked as Fancy raised her hand.

“I can vouch for him, even Dark Speed.” Relax looked a bit envious but grabbed Game’s hands.

“Doesn’t this feel a bit… uncomfortable when you do this?” She asked as Game nodded.

“The first time but when I get the skill’s level higher, it won’t require holding hands.” He explained “Now, let’s copy two skills to you.”

Training was successful
Game Life has taught skills [Tame] & [Blinding] to Relaxing Massage.

“Weird.” She said, Fancy nodded since it was weird.

“Okay… your curse prevents you from leveling up to increase your stats, but we don’t know if it prevents Tame Monsters level up?” Said Fancy.

“We better evaluate it but let’s try to practice the creating IDs and escaping them.” Said Game as they noticed the twins were sleeping. “After we take these 2 to bed.” He said as he and Fancy raise their hands in the air.

“ID Escape.”

10 Minutes Later
Game place both Prank & Sea in bed as he left the room and close the door slowly. “Okay… let’s get to practicing.” He said as they went to the forest since it’s the only place with privacy.

25 Minutes Later
“ID Escape!” Yelled Relax, she nearly fell backwards but Fancy and Game caught her before it happen. “Is it always this straining?” Game and Fancy nodded.

“It’s like a workout, without the mirrors, people in shorts and eye-catching sexiness.” Said Game which is true.

“Also, when we do this IDs, we lose some weight. I lost 3 sizes because of that. Also I collected something that all women with huge breasts will need, a bra that’s comfortable.” Said Fancy, Relax’s eyes widen as she turned to her.

“Please, tell me that it isn’t false information…” She said.

5 Minutes Later
Game was looking away as Relax was groping her chest. “Are you done groping yourself?” Asked Game annoyed.

“I’m sorry but… I never felt such smoothness and I dropped some cups. I can see my toes a bit.” Said Relax happily. “Tell me if there’s more of these, marvelous bras?” She asked.

“I can get them after we done some more training.” Said Fancy as they both went with Game into an ID (Game’s Magic ID, Easy Mode).

“Okay… Finding a monster is the easy part but trying to tame a monster is the hard part.” Said Game “You’ll be like the main character in the ZHP: Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman & The Guided Fate Paradox. A forever Level 1 Player until we removed that curse.” He said which they see monsters that were walking around.

“So which one do you want?” Asked Fancy, Relax looked around and noticed a small bull.

“Oh… it’s so cute!” She yelled “I’m taming that one!” She said as Fancy cheered for her as she charged at the bull “BIND!” She yelled as she fired a Mana Net on the bull as it roared in anger as it tried to escape.

“Do it quickly!” Yelled Fancy, Game looked at monster, he looked shocked while Relax charged at it and used a policeman’s baton as a club.

Police Baton, Strength: 10 High Durability, Lightweight - A club that can cause serious injury if not death used by law enforcement.

“Wait!”

“TAME!” She yelled as she hit the monster as hard as she could, it stood there as the bind spell vanished and the bull looked at her.

“Moo.”

Tame Successful

“I did it!” She cheered, Fancy hugged her while Game looked at her new monster.

“Yeah… you tamed a minotaur child.” He said which shock both girls as they looked at monster to see it was wearing an old roman tunic with a woolen belt that was tied around her waists despite having abs and muscles.

“Uh-oh…” They both said while Game checked on its stats.

New Skill is created by taming a monster
[Monster Farm (Passive) LV 1 EXP: 0%] This private personal Non-dungeon is where you can store your monsters you tame and only you can open this personal area, anywhere you are. You can send food and training equipment to strengthen your monsters stats and ease their hunger.

“Oh dear…” Said Relax as her new monster looked at her.

“We better test if your monsters can gain levers?” Said Fancy as Game when to capture some with his Bind skill. Game dragged the captured monsters to them.

“Here, use this.” Said Game as he gave Relax’s monster a metal bat. She looked a bit frighten but Relax patted her on the shoulder.

“He’s our friend, Rina.” She said as Rina the Minotaur grabbed it and started bashing the monsters. She continued hitting them as they all vanished and left nothing.

“Do they all vanish?” Asked Relax.

“Yes, but after what your mom said about scraps. If we don’t clean IDs that have ignored too long… demons will be brought to live.” Said Game, they turn to Rina. “Also, try making the [Observation] Skill.” He said as Relax focus and looked at Rina.

‘A new skill is created with a specific action,’ [Observation] is created.

[Observation (Passive) LV 1 EXP. 50%] - Reveals target information.

Relax smiled and looked at Rina.

Rina LV6

“She gains a level!” She said happily while Game and Fancy sighed.

“Well, it looks like your curse did not affect tame monsters.” Said Fancy.

“Let’s check out your Monster Farm.” Said Game. Relax nodded as she yelled it out.

“Monster Farm!” A portal appeared as she and Rina enter it. Fancy followed them but slammed into the portal like she walked into a wall.

“Ow…

“We need Relax’s permission.” Said Game. “Like when you and the others needed my permission.” He said as a screen appeared.

Permission to enter: Granted

“Now we can enter her MF.” Said Game, Fancy groan.

“Forgot about that. Given for all the stuff we went through.” She said as they enter Relax’s MF.

Relax’s MF
They enter the MF to discover an empty field of land with a beach and gigantic mountains surrounding the plain. “Whoa…” they said as they saw Rina was eating the grass.

“She’s hungry.” Said Relax as she petted her. “I found some things about my MF. Despite the design of the area, this is where I wish to create a collection for resources.” She said as she pointed at a mountain. “I will create a mine there and make it like those mobile games. You build buildings where you can create some in-game resources to make something out of them.” She said as Fancy looked at Relax.

“How can you create them?” She asked. Game put some thought and asked for help. From his Gamer system.

“How can you create a building to create resources?” Asked Game which got Relax and Fancy’s attention as it showed them.

‘To build a building to create resources, you must craft 30 different blueprints until you can create a resource building. (Alone)’

“Oh…” They all said.

“I have to make 30 different blueprints by myself?!” Said Relax, Game put some thought into it.

“We should start small on the blueprints. Like making something out of clay and glass working.” He said, which got their attention. “We could make the equipment for you, make some clay and about the glass.”

“We’ll have to ask Exo for any bottles after we sanitize them.” Said Fancy, Game and Fancy nodded as they made a link to their farms to Relax’s Farm.

Later that night
Game was cooking dinner as Fancy & Relax set the table. “I wonder how the others will react to the twins being new Game Players?” Asked Game.

“Badly.” Said Fancy.

“Sharp has the brain of a genius for being 8 but she makes up for it with her military experience.” Said Game as Relax looked at them.

“Does she use…”

“Guns, rocket launchers, grenades, C4, you name it. Whatever she can use, she is a force to be fears” Explained Game.

“While having the needs of an 8-year-old.” Finished Fancy. Relax looked worried.

“Will the others like me?” She asked.

“Yes, they will bestie.” Said Fancy “I mean, you met them last time and they like you.” Relax smiled.

“Just be wary of Exo, IQ, Death, & Gamble. They’re the perverts of the Guild.” Fancy said.

“You’ll be seeing mostly nude magazines from them.” Said Game “Also with posters of sexy male & female video game and anime characters.” Relax didn’t like hearing that. “Learn to live with it because not everyone doesn’t have love lust.”

“Just one promise. I won’t be wearing revealing clothes or showing cleavage.” She said unhappily, Game pour some meat, rice and vegetables in each plate as Prank & Sea came in to eat.

In the Basement
Fancy was with Relax who was molding some things with clay, in their underwear.

Through the past actions though years of hard work The Skill [Crafting] has been made.

[Crafting (Active) LV50 EXP: 1.21%] – A building skill. The higher your level, the better goods you can make. Required Blueprints: Unknown

The skill [Crafting] has awaken other skills

[Pottery (Active) LV40 EXP: 28.19%] – A building skill in clay. The higher your level, the better your clay sculptures are created.

[Glass Art (Active) LV5 EXP: 38.10%] – A Building skill in glass. The higher your level, the better your glass art are created.

“I can’t believe you’ve been making arts & crafts for years.” Said Fancy.

“It was a hobby of mine when I was 6.” Explained Relax “I always love the artwork made from many kinds of style. My favorite was mostly tilework. Like making a orcas jumping over the sea or for Game, an 8-bit Mario. Along with playing Mario Paint on the SNES, even though it was expensive.” She said, as she made a clay sculpture of the Game Players’ monsters. “Thanks for letting me use them as my models.”

“You’re welcome. Just don’t accept any requests from our guild’s perverts.” Said Fancy.

“Deal. Besides… Your friend in the black clothes, scares me.” She said as Fancy patted her back.

“He’s scares everyone.” Relax started making figures of the Game Players as she finished making a figure of Game Life.

“He’s… a nice guy.” Said Relax, Fancy nodded as the door slammed opened as Prank and Sea were running in their underwear away from Game Life.

“YOU BOTH ARE TAKING A BATH!!!”

“NEVER!!!” They screamed as all three of them ran out of the basement. Fancy & Relax were embarrassed that Game charged in the basement.

“I… think I was once a bit stubborn in taking a bath.” Said Relax. 

“I wasn’t.” Said Fancy which made her smile “And if I didn’t learn to be stubborn from Game and the others, I would have been like my neighbors.” She said as they laugh though the night while Game has Prank and Sea in the bathtub.

“Ugh… I am going to hate myself as an adult.” He said.
