Chapter 1
Welcome to the GAME, soul. You are one of the lucky(unlucky?) souls chosen for this extraordinary journey!
”What the actual f_u_c_k!?”
I stared at the screen in front of me with disbelief, ”F_u_c_k, and here I thought psychedelics wouldn't mess anymore with my sanity…” I muttered and shook my head trying to expel the invader with little success.
No, this isn't any effect from any psychedelics puny mortal.
”Who is the idiot that drugged me now then? I thought I told those f_u_c_kers I was done with all that shit” I muttered out still trying to not give the screen in front of me any thought.
It was then I saw the room I was in.. which isn't my usual sleeping abode, instead of my own bedroom, here it was clinically clean, with an almost rich institutional feeling, everything almost snow white. So white it almost blinded me.
”Where the f_u_c_k am I?” Came out from me and I heard my creeping panic and increasing anger in that tone.
In an illusion, your current position isn't important now.
”F_u_c_k you mean? I want to know where the f_u_c_k-
A wave of calmness and a comforting feeling enveloped me -” am….Okay”.
So let's get down to business, You have been chosen to be a Gamer
Do You Accept?
[YES][NO]
I still just looked at the screen calmly with disbelief, me? A Gamer? A loud snort could be heard reverberating through the room.
”HAHAHA, that name is so f_u_c_k_i_n_g cringe I can't eve…..” I cut off myself laughing.
But it seemed like the Game didn't really care and let me laugh for some time.
”So I'm going to be a Gamer? Like those Manwhas and all those smut fanfictions going around?” I asked when I was done laughing.
Close enough.
”Well you guys should work with changing that name, but anyway I guess I accept”, I said with amus_e_m_e_nt and the scenery immediately changed.
Now I was in a room that had some resemblance to my own, it was old and…spartan, what can I say? I don't buy that much shit, nowadays I'm just content with the shit I already have.
”So what's this place?” I asked out aloud.
Your new apartment, or how it will look like.
”What's wrong with my own?” I asked the screen.
Wrong verse.
”And what does that mean?” I asked with some trepidation slowly creeping up before it was squashed by the wave of comfort and calmness.
Well, You died.
”Wha..” But I instantly was cut out by my own anger and grief by what that statement meant.
My family, friends, everything is gone and started rapidly spiraling out of control with all my feelings, anger, grief, every feeling you could imagine.
And I stayed like that for some immeasurable time, just going through my feelings, my life and all that came up, thoughts, d_e_s_i_r_es, all. Until I was done, okay with my life, content how it played out, or Nah not content really. That's kind of hard with the realization that you died at 21 by doing stupid shit you thought you had stopped with 2 years prior.
But even so, I got to the point where I was okay with how my life played out, I have come to terms with it, how there isn't really something I can do about it to change it, I'm dead, or... Was dead and got a second chance it seems like, by something that has been fictional from my perspective, but that's still a second chance, and I will be damned if I throw it away.
Because with the power *Chuckle* of the *Chuckle* Game.. ”Look wait I f_u_c_k_i_n_g cant hahaha”
Oh, you are back, feeling better?
I took some time to compose myself ”Yeah I'm good now..” a pause.
”Just a small question, why didn't you make me calm with that calmly comforting thingy you used earlier?” I asked.
Earlier and other runs with the Game have shown that confronting one's past and not hiding it away can be beneficial.
”Oh okay, I can see that” I mumbled out.
”Soooo… There's other Gamers and all that?”
”Multiverse?”
Yes, the Multiverse theory is true to a point, and there exist countless others in the Omniverse.
”Oooh” and I stopped asking the Game for some time to mull over that answer.
”So are every ”Game” like you?”
The simple answer is no, there exist countless different versions with their own different quirks and gimmicks.
”Cool”, I simply said, and left it at that, or not ”Something special with you then?” Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href=”/book/my-self-insert-stash_15819206506160005/my-si-stash-71---a-gamer's-story-of-betatesting-by-cernunnus-(multicross)_51140525197152358”>/book/my-self-insert-stash_15819206506160005/my-si-stash-71---a-gamer's-story-of-betatesting-by-cernunnus-(multicross)_51140525197152358</a> for visiting.
That will be your responsibility to explore, but I can say that I'm in the Beta phase right now.
If a screen with some text could look smug this one would be that right now.
”So I'm a beta tester?”
”Ooh”.
Yeah.
”Sooo… When will we begin?”
Well, do you want your starting stuff now?
”Aren't I able to make my character, choose a starting world and all that good stuff?” I asked questionably.
You and your background is already chosen and prepared but can be altered a bit before we begin, and it will be your responsibility to figure out which world you will be in.
”Well, that's sucks”.
No, it will be fine, your background will borrow and/or remake some of your old ones, and you will be a cool handcrafted character done by the Creator.
”As long as I'm male I'm fine then” I signed.
Passive Skills added:
[Gamers Body[LVL MAX]]: Your body is somewhat based on games and takes some inspiration from different ones.
[Gamers Mind[LVL MAX]]:[ON/OFF]: Can be toggled on for the classic calm sociopathic Gamer fell. Though resistance against mental attacks and really negative status effects, e.g insanity, are on the whole time.
Utility Skills added:
[Observe[LVL?]]:[Cost:5 Mana]: Lets you get a basic description of something or someone.
I hastily read through all the things I got, and with the context I have from earlier, by which I mean reading fanfics and Manhwas/Mangas based on the Gamer stuff I quickly understood some of it.
”So what's different with the skills from the usual gamey shit?” I asked.
I don't appreciate your tone. And no that's your responsibility to figure out.
”Ah sorry old habits die hard I guess, it's just how I grew up speaking, no disrespect from my side” I chuckled sheepishly.
”And why is it my responsibility to figure out?”
Statistics show that letting the player know everything about the Game takes away enjoyment from the experience.
I rolled my eyes ”I'm not asking for much mate, just some basic info, but I guess I can see it from your perspective”.
Some more questions before we go to the next point?
”Hmmm… Well, why is everything in English? I mean EVERYTHING, even my thoughts. I would rather have it all in Swedish there I can at least have proper grammar in my thoughts”.
The Creator changed English to the Standard so here we are.
”Can I change it?”
The Standard? No.
”Well shit”.
Yeah, but that's why we have you as a beta tester so we can improve upon things and then give a better experience.
”...”
Anyways… Here you go.

”...”
”Did you just copy/paste that from somewhere, I feel like it's pretty... Umm, not unique?”
*Scoff* As I would do something like that.
I just rolled my eyes at that.
So want to load some skills and perks/traits from your old life?
”Wouldn't that interfere with that all-mighty handcrafted new me you have done?”
No, that body is a clean slate…. at least for now.
”Okay okay tune down with the ominous shit, I was just messing with you… And yes please, I would like to have some of my ”old” stuff as skills and all that, thank you”.
Here you go!
Perks/Traits added:
[L_u_s_tful]: You are a horny f_u_c_k.
[Arbitrary]: You have a natural calling for making some random decisions(most often bad) and the like, just stay away from gambling, or don't, it can either make or break you.
[Short Tempered]: You get angry easily.
[Controlled Body Language]: You have it easy to hide your true feelings on the matter.
”First of all.. Fair... Secondly, why is that a trait? Or why do I even have that? I know I like gambling but I wouldn't call my decision-making arbitrary.”-
Viking Line?
”OOh F_u_c_k you”.
No thanks.
I just shook my head at that, ”Short temper I get and that body shit too, tho will traits and perks force me to make decisions? I haven't really gotten that from everything I've read”.
It depends on the version of the Game, but here no, it will though make you more inclined to make a decision based upon your personality traits and/or perks.
Traits here will not force you to make a decision but will make it hard to do the opposite of it, e.g you have the trait [L_u_s_tful] and a milf asks you for s_e_x, well it's pretty easy to accept that but quite hard to just go away.
”Okay thanks, any more perks or traits then?”
Well no, this is mostly what your personality was based around.
”Oh, but no humorous trait or something like that? I was the clown in my friends group after all”
You used humor to hide just what you really felt though.
”...”
Moving on... skills then?
”Wait wait, just a quick question, what's the difference between traits and perks?”
A trait is generally something innate, while a perk is something you earn, learn and/or obtain.
”Okay, so skills now?”
Passive Skills added:
[Martial Arts[LVL 20/100]]:[Subskill: Muay Thai(Novice)Western Boxing(Apprentice)Glíma(Apprentice)]: You know how to fight unarmed.
[Ranged Weaponry[LVL 57/100]]:[Subskill: Small Arms(Journeyman)Bow(Novice)]: You know which way to point the weapon and maybe hit the target, and you have some knowledge to maintain the weapon you use.
Misc. Skills added:
[Housework[LVL 47/100]]: The skill is self-explanatory.
[Cooking/Baking[LVL 21/100]]: You can cook, the thing you cook or bake will get easier to make and with better taste with higher levels.
[Salesman[LVL 24/100]]: The skill shows your experience and knowledge in selling and convincing people to buy what you sell.
[Animal Hunting[LVL 24/100]]: You have experience in animal hunting and other things related to hunting e.g. tracking. But the question is: is hunting humans the same?
[Language Master[LVL ?]]:[Subskills: English(Apprentice)Swedish(Expert)German(Journeyman)]: The skill in language...
”That… wasn't so many mate, I think I do have some more ”skills”, but a question, why aren't those misc spells under passives?”
Is it cleaner this way, or do you want a Heavy industry skill, and then work in an industry in your second chance in life?
”Yeah, No thanks, I guess it's cleaner this way without a hundred different skills, but what about my second question?”
Same thing really, the Creator didn't want the most used categories cluttered with spells early on in the playthrough.
”Okay, and what are those subskills?”
Some skills have subskills, which usually represents some unique or some other knowledge or prowess in the stated area.
Novice, Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, and Master are the different tiers of subskills.
Subskills don't have levels.
”Ooh well that's nice to know, but who is this Creator you are speaking of?”
The Creator of me.
”I got that but nothing more you could tell me about this Creator?”
…
I snorted at that but then moved on, ”Well next step then?”
Do you want to load achievements from your past life?
”Achievements? What would that give me now? Stats or something?”
It will give you Stats or Perks from some milestones you reached in your last life.
”Well I guess it couldn't hurt, so yeah I accept”.
Good.
