"Shit!" I yelled as I awoke. I opened my eyes, what I first saw was the blinding sun. The waves moving back and forth calmly at the shore. The scenery was relaxing, if not for my present predicament. I was lost.
Sitting at the sand, I contemplated my sorry situation. "I don't know where the fuck I am".
"Oh man.. why do I feel like I lost weight?"
What sick bastard would kidnap a guy and just leave him on a what seems to be a deserted island.
"KuWOOOHHH!!!" a loud screech from what sounded like a bird
"ROAAGGHHHRRRR!!!" That... doesn't need any explaining.
I blanched "So not a deserted island, though an island with god knows what dangerous animals are in it." I said facing the obviously virgin forest.
It looks like I would die sooner than later eh. Well shiet.
[DING!]
A blue box appeared in front of me.
Is this what I think it is?
I tried to touch the box that looks too much like an AR panel in front of me.
[BEEP!]
I stared at the blue box, making sure I reread that at least 3 times.
"Fuck! My life got cut short!?? Damn. I hope Mom and Dad are fine... shit." I said to no one while rubbing my aching head.
We were a standard nuclear family, fairly close, got into fights, you know, normal family stuff.
"Damn, I never got to say goodbye."
Tears started to form from my eyes.
[BEEP]
My tears seemingly went back up to their tear ducts.
"Those bastards..." I said as a vein appeared on my head
I breathed "Hooo.... Inner peace... must find silver linings"
One Piece eh?... No more being constrained by societal norms, being free as I want to be, doing whatever shit I want.
I might even meet Luffy! Do I join his crew?... *Inner Fangirl Screming*
What the hell am I thinking, I have the gamer power, I could pretty much do whatever the hell I want.
I could even create my own crew, the question should be "should I shoot for the seat of the Pirate King?"
I stood up, wiped off sand from my shorts. I didn't have any footwear, I had only my now dirty white shirt and dirty black shorts on. Basic shit.
"Time to grab this new life by the balls, kek"
"Status"
[BEEP]
"Oh~ I have a new name? Gustav huh? Not really what I would choose but it sounds badass enough"
...
"What the fuck!? I'm fifteen again?? That does explain why I feel light as shit"
Okay, I still don't know where I am, but since this is One Piece, and this might be a prehistoric island. With The Gamer power, I might just survive this. Granted, I don't have the broken ability of creating Instant Dungeons, but I'll make do with what I have.
"Skills"
Everything seems to be in working order.
I started to walk inside the islan~
"OW!"
A stone pricked my foot, I forgot I didn't have any footwear to protect my virgin feet.
[DING!]
"Whoa."
I clicked the box and another blue box replaced it.
[BEEP]
Come to poppa! I'll make sure to abuse the hell out of this. Hehehehe.
I clicked away the blue box.
I took another step~ "OW!!" How many rocks are here!?
[BEEP]
I changed my mnd, I'm gonna hate this.
Moving on, I moved towards the forest, avoiding the pesky rocks and the thorny bushes. I spent half an hour walking, maybe this forest isn't so dangerous after all...
Madam Fate seemed to have heard me, because I believe I have spoken too soon.
What greeted me shocked me to my core.
It was a blue ape. As large as King Kong from the movies, he was feeding from a large bird.
"Are those the ones I heard earlier?" I nearly pissed my shorts if not for the Gamer's Mind doing its best to calm me.
I hid at the nearby tree.
An idea appeared on my mind, maybe Observe would work on this beast.
[DING!]
Fuck you!, Not the time!, I swatted away the blue box.
"Observe" I said looking at bootleg King Kong.
[DING!]
"I know! I know get to the Observe already!" I said to myself while clicking not only this box, but also the skill description away.
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
[BEEP]
"Shit! This is Rusukaina!? What was bootleg ROB thinking!? Dropping me at an island that has inhabitants that can kill me with just a look. Fuck!"
As if hearing my thinking, the blue ape stopped his meal and gazed at my general direction. I quickly hid at the tree, making myself as small as possible.
"Don't come here... Don't come here... Don't come here..." I began reciting the mantra quietly.
But life doesn't really go according to the way you want it. The blue ape stood up.
[DING]
[BEEP]
Blood drained from my face as I stared at the blue box of doom.
...
..
...
"ROARRGGHHHHHRRR!!!" The ape ran to my direction.
How did I know?
Well, if a giant ape started running at your direction, you'd hear the motherfucker.
"FUCK!" I started running away from the ape too.
"RRROARRGGHHHHHRRR!!!" Another roar came from the infernal beast.
I didn't want to look back. I ran like a Jamaican sprinter who's hungry for fried chicken.
"SHIIEEEETTT!!!!"
[DING!]
[DING!]
[DING!]
"Not the time! Fuck!"
I quickly swatted the boxes away and ran for my life
A giant hand suddenly grabs me from behind as I desperately struggle for sweet freedom.
"Oh no! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!"
"Fuck you! Lemme down!" I said as I use my freed arm to strike the ape's hand.
[-3 HP]
"Oww!" Damn, that is one thick hide.
[BEEP]
As I said not the time!
The ape's hand rotates and now I'm facing the blasted ape.
The ape was staring me down while breathing down on my face.
I admit, without that Gamer's Mind, I would've passed out by now.
"ROARRGGHHHHHRRR!!!" The beast roars at my face.
[BEEP]
"Why do I even bother"
Sorry bootleg ROB, seems like my life would be done in faster this time hahah
"GROAAAARRGGGHHHH!!"
Another roar came from behind the ape.
The beast in front of me pales. Like when "Usopp knows he fucked up" pales.
Then suddenly a shadow appears over us both. Next thing I knew the beast in front of me loses his head.
[DING]
[DING]
[DING]
[DING]...
Countless notifications rang at my head yet I disregarded them all. Focusing on the entity that saved me from certain death.
As the beast that held me begin to drop, I stared at the being that ate the giant ape's head. It was a giant tiger, at least twice as large than bootleg Kong.
When the hand that held me dropped to the ground, I didn't wait for the tiger to finish his meal, I started running again. Hoping that the beast won't turn his attention on me, I didn't look back.
I ran until I cannot anymore. Only stopping when my legs were cramping.
I hid at a nearby foliage, making sure that there was nothing that was chasing me.
I was dead tired, my eyelids heavy yet pushed myself further, looking for a suitable hiding place. My heart was beating like crazy.
There's a small cave ahead, there were many notifications that rang, I didn't pay attention to them, I only wanted to rest, and that cave seems to be it.
When I reached the cave, I plopped down and not missing a minute, I was off to dreamland.
When I opened my eyes, a blue box appeared in front of me.
[BEEP]
So that wasn't a dream, thought it was. Damn.
I sighed, complaining would not do any good, Still, I'm not really in a good position right now.
There was a bell icon at the top right of my vision, and a number 85 inscripted on top of it. Not having anything better to do, I sat up and clicked the bell icon.
[BEEP]
Whoaa... I stared at the notification list.
I... Leveled up??
Granted, not all of it were level notifications, there were 4 notifications on agility, spirit, luck, strength +1s, still, that's a boatload of levels I just got. How?
Could it be?
When I hit that infernal beast, I had contribution on its kill reward? But leveling up 81 times... How high leveled was that beast?
"Status"
[BEEP]
Niceee... looks like my survivability in this island went up from -20 to 60%.
Wondering where to put in my stats, I clicked help.
[BEEP]
Not really what I would say helpful, meh. I closed the box. I remember from my kidnapper's message that there was a perks section and I should check that out, maybe there's useful shit there.
"Perks"
[BEEP]
Whoa... That's a long ass list...
It would take me some time to finish reading this.
grumblleeee~~ a sound came from my stomach
Oh dang, I'm hungry, I never really got something to eat after waking up here, but where should I get food?
