Prologue

Anya blinked in confusion as she stared at the floating words in front of her. Waking up after being killed by her ex-girlfriend for breaking up with her… even though she was the bitch who cheated, not Anya. Anya knew she died; she felt every bit of the agonizing pain as she bled out on her floor. Anya knew there was no way to get help in time, she lived alone in a nice cabin in the woods that her grandfather had built for family vacations. It was impossible for someone to save her, so she had resigned herself to her death.

Waking up, however was not what she had expected.

Waking up in a room of nothing but darkness, instead of the pearly white gates that was preached at Anya her entire life was even less what she expected.

The glowing blood red floating words however…

What the Fuck?

Congratulations! you have been selected to become the host of the gamer. A superior cosmic entity who once in 6,000 years selects a host to gift powers beyond comprehension for their amusement. Please Create Your Character…

Gaping in disbelief at this insanity, Anya slapped her cheek, pinched herself and shut and opened her eyes. Nope, it was still there. Anya has heard about this before, but only in fanfictions. Some she even wrote herself before abandoning it when life got in the way. The Gamer is apparently an entity that would gift her the ability to live her life as a video game, mostly in another world or dimension. Deciding to get some information before she went ahead with this insanity, she tentatively spoke to the cosmic being.

"Excuse me, uh… Game?"

Somehow, she does not know how; but she could feel the being's amusement with her. Thankfully, it was not malicious amusement, but it was there, and she could feel it. Weird.

You may call me Game, or you may give me a name. We are connected after all.

Good to know, so like a symbiote? If one dies so does the other? Then that makes her feel safer already, especially if the Game is only awake once every 6,000 years it would not want her to die yet, right? Well again, Anya thought to herself as she tried to articulate her question before she decided to say screw it and just ask.

"Umm…okay? So Game, why…?"

Why me? What have I done that is so special as to have this opportunity? What is the catch? Why do you do this? What do you get out of this?"

Before she could ask out loud however, the Game shocked and spooked her by answering.

I chose you because you are neither a good person nor a bad person…for a human. you would at best be described as chaotic neutral, which is perfect for any candidate for being my host. Also, you are the descendent of four of my previous hosts, which means you are the most compatible human of them all. Other than your bloodline you have done nothing special to have this honor. The catch is you may not die until you are no longer entertaining to me. If you die, then I go into slumber until the next host, so we are indeed in a symbiotic relationship as you have guessed. What I get out of this is entertainment and the reason why I do this is because I am bored.

BORED?? Anya stared at the floating word incredulously. Studiously ignoring the fact that the cosmic entity can liberally read her mind and the frankly baffling response she received.

BORED.

Deciding that she did not want to know anymore, she needed to check one more thing before she proceeded. She figured why look a gift horse in the mouth. Anya is no longer dead, which is a plus. Anya can become powerful and travel to different dimension. Really what is there to complain about?

What indeed?

Ignoring the amused entity screwing with her, she stubbornly ignored the chuckling around her and asked her final question.

"So, is this going to be exactly like a video game?" Thinking of the many video games that she has played in her admittedly short life. In her 28 years of life, she has become the ultimate Nerd. Anime, Manga, Video games and Star Wars were her life. In fact, besides her various girlfriends, Anya's only interest was of the Nerd and Geek variety. Even her career as a Comic Book Shop owner was based on her Nerdy personality. So, the fact she would be able to not only live her life as a game, but be able to live in one of her favorite games ever? HELL YEAH! She thought gleefully, barely being able to resist rubbing her hands together and laugh evilly.

Exactly like a video game.

Finally letting loose of her restraint, she laughed like a hyena at the amazing opportunity before her. After a minute of laughter, she calmed down enough to realize that the game had joined her in her laughter. After calming down, she took a deep breath before telling the game to continue to character creation.

"Okay, Game. Proceed to Character Creation please."

Character Creation Initiated…

Choose Your Race:

Human, ?, ?, ? [LOCKED], [LOCKED], [LOCKED], [LOCKED],

"Guess, I'll choose a human. There is no way I am choosing any unknown race. Knowing my luck, it would be something lame like a goblin or something equally stupid. Besides with game logic, I would be able to change my race down the line, right?" Anya asked as she thought over the logistics of evolving her species and if it would be worth it. There is no doubt that there would be pros and cons to being a different race other than a human. But she has the time and patience before deciding to choose.

Correct.

Human Race Selected

+25 Increase to all STATS, +100 HP,

Now Choose Your Class

[WARRIOR], [ROGUE], [MAGE], [SUPPORT]

"Is that even a question?" Anya snarked, seriously why the hell would she choose support. Anya was no supporting character, she was no follower, she marched to her own drum and was in the action. So, Support was out, as was Rogue. Sure, it would be nice to have thieving skills and ranged skills would be nice, but she could earn those regardless of what class she chose. It would just be easier with a Rogue class. If Anya wanted easy, she would have stayed dead, not that she had a choice to stay dead, but it was the principle of it. So, between a warrior and a mage. Again, no matter if she were a Mage, she could still learn Warrior Skills. However, if she chose Warrior, she would not be able to learn Magic. So really it was a no brainer at this point. Magic for the Win!

Mage Class Selected

Choose Specialty

[NECROMANCY], [ILLUSIONIST], [SUMMONER], [ELEMENTALIST],

Hmm, that is a tough one, Anya frowned as she thought over her choices. While it would be awesome to become a Necromancer and have dominion over the dead, she needed to think about the pros and cons of it. The pros would be control over the dead, possible ability for resurrection and immortality and if she were ever in a zombie apocalypse a horde of creatures to command. The cons would be the stigma that always comes with being a Necromancer. Being shunned or worse hunted by fellow mages and any light aligned factions. Making living beings uncomfortable with her and since she is a very social person, that would be a hard pass. Besides, this is just her starting specialty, assuming she will be able to expand her specialties later when she masters one?

You will be able to learn more than one class specialty as you master your chosen class specialty and unlock more.

Then that settles it then, Necromancy is out. While it would be awesome to create Illusions to trick people, she could just as easily create skills such as acting and use her brain to trick people. It would be a great way to not only level up using a skill as useful as Acting, but it would be a great way to make money and gain a reputation. Also, depending on the world she was in, she could use her fame from acting if she has any as a shield or to make connections. So, with that in mind, Anya would only need to use any skills and powers from Illusionist for battle. Which she could also use anything from the other three classes for. With that in mind, the most useful classes she could be, would be the Summoner and Elemental. With Summon, she could summon other creatures to fight for her, but again she likes to be in the action. So even summoning others to fight as a distraction would bother her down the line. Especially if she became too dependent on others fighting for her. Anya does not want to become Rias Gremory after all. For some reason that sent the game into a fit of laughter that she studiously ignores. Anya had a feeling that thought would bite her in the ass sooner or later. But whatever!

Ignoring the laughing entity, Anya decided on the Elementalist Class. Because let's face it there is no class more diversified than an elemental. With the many branches from Pyrokinesis to the ever-awesome Chronokinesis. Seriously being able light her foes on fire or being able to control time is epic!

Elemental Class Specialty Chosen

+500 MP, +10%MP REGEN

Choose Your Class Subspecialty

[Pyrokinesis] [Hydrokinesis], Cryokinesis], [Atmokinesis], [Geokinesis], [Umbrakinesis], [Photokinesis], [Chronokinesis]

Note: Only the first three are unlocked. You may unlock the others only after all of the first three have been unlocked. Wouldn't want to make this easy for you after all.

Damn! There goes choosing that epic Chronokenisis. Oh, well that makes sense, after all if Anya could control time so early in the game, she would freeze time outside a certain area to train and be so OP when she proceeded to wreck canon in the world, she was in that there would be no challenge. So that is acceptable.

I am so glad you agree.

Anya gave the Game a snort for his, its, her? Sarcasm.

Rude

"Well then make it easier on me and just tell me what I should call you!" Giving the dark space an exasperated look. The Game huffed before answering, the voice clearly telling her it was pouting.

I am a woman, and I am NOT pouting!

"Sure, then if you are a woman, I will just call you Chaos and you were so pouting."

Ignoring the childish entity, Anya moved on with thinking of her choices.

Choosing pyromancy would be the obvious choice, not only would having the power of fire under her control, but many beings have a weakness for fire. Also, if her fire could be evolved to something like holy or unholy flames, then that would handle the seriously dangerous creatures that normal fire would not work on. On the other hand, despite the pros, there is one glaring con. Having this power comes with the very real risk and almost guaranteed certainty that she will become a pyromaniac at best and a sadistic pyromaniac at worst. But compared to the other two powers, such as ice and weather manipulation. Fire seems the most useful.

Besides Anya would be able to still master the other two classes eventually if she wants to reach her goals of having control over time. Mind as well master these abilities in order.

Wise Choice.

"Well," Anya blinked owlishly at the list of perks, traits, and weaknesses she has to choose from. "They are all rather awesome actually, I don't see any of the weaknesses as a bad thing. Except maybe suspicious and jealousy." Taking a moment to think about it, Anya had to conclude that until she knew which world she would be dropped in, she would need to choose based on what she felt would help her regardless of where she went. So, with that in mind, she knew she should focus on perks that would double her XP to help her level up faster. Besides, the quicker I level up the faster I could buy a perk, Anya smirked at how easy this would be. Anya knew that after the tutorial period and after she leveled up to a certain point it would be harder, assuming game logic applies here.

It does

Then that means she would really have to work for her perks at that point. So, with that in mind, she chose Epic Magic and Silver Tongue. As much as she would like to have the Eidetic and Photographic Mind Perk, she needs to think about the possibility that she would need to bullshit her way through any situation ASAP. Anya has no idea if she will arrive midway through canon of whatever world she is in or if she starts as a baby, reincarnation style. So, with that in mind, being able to deceive others into thinking she is a prodigy child if she is reborn or able to talk others into believing she has decided to change if she is dropped in mid-canon. Either way, she plans on eventually buying that perk later.

As for Magic, having 1000 MP is awesome for a beginner. Not to mention more powerful spells and having reduced cost for her spells would make becoming a master of her class easier. The weaknesses are of no concern because even when she was alive, she was a greedy person. Hell, she was a paranoid person as well, so in a way she is the same person she was before and therefore should be able to control her greed and paranoia. Anya will wait until she finds out where she will start before even thinking about her next perk. Besides according to Chaos, there will be new perks available that might be better than these. There is no rush.
