New fanfic, with Waifus from Gacha games.
////////////////////
On a morning like any other, after finishing my usual gaming session at 4 a.m. I was going to sleep until 8 a.m. when I would enter my next gaming session, half asleep, but before that, my phone rang a notification.
When I checked that I saw that an app that I didn't know had been installed on my phone, I thought that it was a game that I had pre-registered and that I had forgotten, not something rare, I picked up and dropped many different Gacha games.
The game was called New Eden, and when I clicked on the app icon, the first thing I saw was a quiz.
Q: Do you like Gacha games?
'What is this, an attempt to gain private information?'
I stared at my phone screen for a few moments and decided I was too sleepy to care, so I answered honestly.
'Yes.'
Q: Do you want to save the world or destroy it?
Wow, I think the answer to that changes week to week, but in the context of a game, saving the world means staying with your waifus, most of the time, so the answer is that.
' I want to save what's worth saving '
Q: Why do you play Gacha games?
What kind of question is that? Two Gacha games can be completely different from each other, but there's one thing all successful games have in common.
' For the Waifus of course, I want to collect as many as I can!!! '
Meta is something that for me has never come before my favorite Waifus, not once, everything is about the Waifus.
After answering the last question, my phone screen went white, and then a message appeared.
' Thank you for answering our questions honestly, before you begin your journey with your Waifus, please read the terms and conditions. '
Yes, sure, I checked all the boxes that appeared and then hit the button, I agree, then a data download started, so I threw my phone on the bed, and I gave in to my sleepiness, or that was the idea.
After that normal sequence of events, I expected to wake up in my bed, but when I opened my eyes, I was in a deserted area with the sun shining on me.
???: Oh, you finally wake up, hurry up, there's a long journey ahead of you.
Confused by the situation, when I heard a voice near me, I looked around desperately, but I didn't see anyone.
???: Oh, look down here.
I looked down at my phone, which was the source of the mysterious voice.
'Hello? Who are you?'
???: I'm your guide for this journey you've chosen, you can call me Eris.
'What? You're talking about that questionnaire?'
Eris: Well, what else? I think we should start with the basics.
'Wait, I don't agree with any of this.'
Eris: pero? todo eso estaba en los términos y condiciones.
' urgh you, nobody reads the terms and conditions of anything. '
Eris: Well, how is that my fault! I told you to read them.
*Gyyaahh*
While I was having an argument with my phone, a small, sandy-skinned creature appeared, It had a short sword covered in blood, and its mouth was salivating as if it wanted to eat me whole.
Eris: Looks like we'll have to move on to the combat tutorial.
'Oh, fuck that.'
Feeling that my butt was on the line, I ran in the opposite direction of the creature, two monsters came out of the sand, but I was able to dodge them, then I climbed a large dead tree with surprising agility, and when I saw that they could not follow me I breathed a sigh of relief.
Eris: What are you doing? You're supposed to fight.
' You're crazy, I don't do that in real life, only in video games... listen, there's no way back to my world. '
Eris: no this is a one-way trip.
' You can't do something, even if it's just for a while, I have a couple of things to do on the other side, as soon as that's done, I'll be back here. '
Eris: I'm sorry, I don't have that kind of power, but you don't have to worry about that, If you had read the terms and conditions, you would know that your pending business has already been taken care of.
'Could you explain that?'
Eris: Your old body was not fit to fulfill this mission, so your consciousness was transported to your new body, not very different in appearance but with much more potential, your old body is moving on autopilot, so to speak, when your to-dos are done it will just stop moving.
Well, it's true that I climbed this tree too easily, if my pending business has been completed, it doesn't matter if I am in this world or the next.
' So, you are my guide, what kind of help are you going to give me?
Eris: You're finally cooperating, but aren't you going to take care of those monsters first?
' I'll wait for them to tire themselves out trying to climb, and then I'll attack.'
Eris: Cold, but these monsters have done horrible things, and I have no compassion for them.
'Are you an inhabitant of this world?'
Eris: No, but I've been watching over this world for a long time, but let's not talk about me, as your guide I am the bridge between you and the multidimensional Gacha, which will give you the power to save this world but first I have to register your name as a Gacha user, You can use your old name or a new one.
The keyboard on my phone I appreciate on my screen and I started to think, I always use game characters that I like as a username as a lucky ritual and although this was not the same it was better not to break the tradition, I chose a name from the last game I was playing, Matthew, Matt for friends.
As I typed my new name, my phone turned into a blue energy sphere with three rings of light with letters I couldn't understand engraved on them, that was my guide's new form.
Eris: Okay, let's start with the basic explanation.
