Life Is A Game ... Literally.

Chapter 1 - Magical.

Gon POV

"YES! HAHA I FINALLY DID IT!" I shout. "I HIT LEVEL 200 ONLY 3 OTHER PEOPLE IN THE WORLD HIT THAT LEVEL!" I yell again. The only odd thing is that when those people hit those levels they went missing. Killua Zoldyck, Kurapika Kurta, and Leorio Paladiknight. All went missing after hitting level 200. "I remember seeing it on the news.." I mumble.

"Congratulations, traveler!" Says the Retz, my assistant in the game. "You've officially accomplished hitting level 200! We shall now give you your prize!" She giggles. "Traveler, say your name out loud. First and Last to be more specific." Why the hell does the game need that? I think.

"Gon Freecss." I say as if it can hear me. It's just a game how could it? "Perfect! Gon Freecss." Retz, the AI writes something down. "What the hell. It could hear me!?" I say confused. The game never asked for permission to use my microphone. "Yes, we sure can!" She says in the same happy voice. This is getting fucking creepy... "Gon, please place your hands on the hand outlines provided on either side of the screen!" She says. The two hands appear. Am I really about to do this?

I get close to the screen and place my hands on there. "Now repeat after me! Gēmu e." I tilt my head. "Gēmu e?" "Wonderful! One last step, Gon! " It's still so odd to hear her say my name. I nod. "Close your eyes!" Why do I need to- Ugh fine whatever. I close my eyes and I swear I feel my body levitate. I open my eyes and I see I'm falling from the sky. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH" I scream.

WHAM!

I hit the ground. "I'm not dead..! I'm- I'M ALIVE!" I shout. "Haha, yes you are, Gon! Welcome to Labiteniya!" My eyes widen. I stare at Retz. "What..? No no no. I have a life. I still need to finish college! There's so much I haven't done in the real world!" Retz looks at me though she's an AI she looks concerned, she quickly changes it to the same happy attitude she had before.

"This is the 'real world', Gon! You can stay here forever, and have a care-free happy life!" She says. I stand up and begin to pace around. "I-I still haven't gotten a girlfriend! Or a good paying job, or a dog, or-" "Well, Gon. You can get all those here!" Retz replies and smiles. "But I want a real significant other. Not an AI." Retz tilts her head. "My, Gon. You can have a 'real' significant other here! There are other humans here." She replies.

Other humans? "You mean people like me?" I ask. "I sure do! Where do you think those three people went?" She asks. "I thought they died." She giggles. "Silly you, huh? They're all here. Killua Zoldyck, Kurapika Kurta, and Leorio Paladiknight!" She says calmly. I nod. "But, one last question, Retz." She nods. "Go right ahead." "How did I get here?" I ask fully interested.

"Well Gon, you got here by.."

"..Magic."
