Casper High School

Mr. Lancer stopped his lecture and turned to the opening door, fully knowing who it was. "Mr. Fenton, so glad you joined us." Danny Fenton was late again, which was no surprise to him and the rest of the class.

The black-haired young man rubbed the back of his neck in nervousness. He averted his gaze from the usual classroom stares to his teacher. "Sorry, Mr. Lancer. I woke up late. Again."

"I hope you spend these late nights studying instead," Lancer replied dryly before sighing. "While I appreciate your effort in the makeup exam, I still expect you to be punctual." He pointed at the boy. "Being late won't benefit you in life."

"It won't happen again," assured Danny.

Mr. Lancer shook his head. "You've said that many times before, and like always, we shall see. Please take your seat so that we may continue today's lesson."

"Yes, sir." Danny nodded, quickly making his way next to Sam and Tucker and pulling out his book. Danny started thinking about his new powers again a few minutes into the lesson. 'No one else can see the screens. So...' "Status," he whispered. A small blue window appeared in front of him.

It was still hard for Danny to believe that this was happening to him. He noticed that his HP was still recovering. 'Now that I think about it, I don't feel any pain.' Danny pressed his fingers against his body for any cuts or bruises and found nothing. 'I know that I heal fast, but not that fast. Maybe it's something else?' Thinking back to his fight earlier, he remembered a window regarding a new skill, Observe. 'Does that mean I have more skills?' Taking a chance, Danny whispered again. "Skills." A new window appeared next to his Status window.

Danny's eyes widened at the list of skills. While surprising, it was shorter than he expected. Reading the names of his first two skills, he immediately connected them to his title, The Gamer. 'Gamer's Body? Considering that I have a health bar now, maybe that has something to do with my healing.'
