"Oh for the love of…! Again?!" Naruto sighed in mild exasperation.

He had just entered his apartment after his training session with Iruka-sensei when, much to his irritation, he had discovered yet another plastic bag of dog crap sitting amid the shattered glass of his living room window.

"Seriously? Twice in one day?" Naruto complained aloud, "Whoever is doing this has no imagination and way too much time on their hands."

Sighing heavily, the blond orphan made his way to the kitchen to get the unpleasant task of cleaning his living room up out of the way…again.

Naruto had no proof, but he suspected that whoever was responsible for the whole dog crap thing was the person who had been harassing him for years, ever since he moved into his apartment at the age of five. Broken windows, vandalised doors…one time he had even come home to his door busted down and his apartment wrecked.

The main problem was that he had no idea who was doing it. Any time this kind of thing happened, he was either at the Academy, out doing shopping or in his bed asleep.

"Now then…where's that book that the weird box/window thing was talking about?" Naruto muttered as he walked into his bedroom, "Ah-ha!"

There, upon a brand-new wooden table, was a thick book with the title 'The Gamer's Guide' emblazoned in elegant gold writing on the front cover.

People might call Naruto stupid, and it was true he wasn't the sharpest sword in the armoury, but it didn't take a genius to connect the dots here.

"So…this is the book the 'quest' wants me to read." Naruto said as he eyed the book and table suspiciously. Call him paranoid if you like, but books and tables don't generally appear from nowhere. The last time he had just accepted a situation at face value, it had been when he found a bowl of ramen freshly made in his kitchen one day when he woke up.

He had spent the next two days either sitting on the toilet or barfing his guts up, so once bitten, twice shy is Naruto's motto for strange, unexplained items appearing before him.

After staring at the book for a moment, Naruto gingerly reached out a hand and carefully picket it up, half-expecting it to blow up or something. What actually happened was that a box/window appeared, floating an inch or so above the surface of the book's cover. When he shook the book, the box/window stayed the same distance away from the cover without so much as wavering.

[You have acquired 'The Gamer's Guide']

Do you wish to learn this?

[Y/N]

"Finally, some answers!" Naruto muttered as he hit the 'Y' button. Much to his shock, the book dissolved into a blue light that rather looked like chakra. It swirled around him for a moment before vanishing, prompting another box/window to open.

[Congratulations! You have unlocked the Guide!]

To open the guide, merely say 'Guide' aloud.

"{Guide}" Naruto said. A new window opened as the first one close automatically.

[Welcome to the Guide. Please select a topic from below to view.]

- Introduction [Q]

-Attribute Points and Attributes

-Raising Stats

-Level

-Quests

-Flaws

-Skills

-Reputation

There were a couple more options beneath that, but Naruto ignored them as his eyes were drawn to the first option. Iruka-sensei had drummed it into him that the basics were the most important part of a shinobi's skill set, so he had to master those first before moving on to more advanced subjects.

Besides, the 'Introduction' button had a golden 'Q' sign next to it, so Naruto supposed that that indicated the 'Quest objective'.

Seating himself on his bed, the blond Academy Student hit the 'Introduction' button, making another window pop up immediately. Now maybe he'd get some answers.

[Greetings, Chosen Gamer of this world. If you are seeing this, then Gaia has chosen you to wield this power.]

"Who -or what- the hell is 'Gaya'?" Naruto wondered aloud before he read the next line, which answered his question…sort of.

[If you don't know who or what Gaia is, then read up about it in the Library. More specifically, read about the 'Gaia Theory'. That isn't really that important right now though. The most important fact for you to know is that you have been given an ability known as 'The Gamer'.]

"Great, now this damn box/window thing is giving me homework!" Naruto bemoaned. He got enough of that at the Academy!

['The Gamer' is a powerful ability, given only to those deemed worthy by Gaia. Across multiple parallel universes, realities and worlds, only a small handful of people are deemed worthy of holding this power, so consider yourself honoured.]

"Yeah, yeah, I get it; the damn box-power is strong." Naruto groused, "Now tell me what it can do!"

[OK, obligatory impressive speech, over. Now we get to the meat of the matter.

'The Gamer' has the ability to turn repeated actions into 'Skills'. It doesn't matter what you can do; fire lasers, swing swords, fly or whatever else. Anything can be turned into 'Skills'…even something as mundane as washing the dishes.]

"That's…really weird." Naruto sweatdropped as he read the last part. Washing dishes? Seriously? What the hell kind of weird-ass ability did he have?

[Almost uniformly, all aspects of 'The Gamer' are invoked verbally, as you have no doubt surmised by now. You have at several pages with information and abilities that you can invoke merely by saying the name of the page.

First, the Status Page. This displays several things; your Stats and Perks, your current Level and your current HP and MP/SP/CP, as well as your Flaws, Special Status, Inventory and currently equipped equipment.

Next is the 'Skills' page. This displays all the skills you have learned, as well as their current level, a small description of what they do and their effects.

The 'Perks' page shows you your current Perks and their effects.

The 'Flaws' page shows you all of the current flaws that you have, as well as their effects, negative or otherwise.

The 'Quests' page shows you all the quests you are currently undergoing, as well as the quests you have completed in the past.

Finally, the 'Reputation' page shows you your standing with various, people, Groups, Clans, Cities and Nations.]
