YM778.TV Chapter 1 - A Game?
Charlus woke up. He went out of the house. He looked up and saw a huge star. Huge enough that it almost blinded him. He shielded his eyes. When he looked up again, he did not find anything odd. But he felt something strange happened.
Charlus shrugged and went back into his house. He had better things to do. Like getting to school. It was the start of school after the winter vacation and Charlus didn\'t want to be late on his first day.
If he was, his mother would know and she would kill him. His mother stayed with him most of the time but decided that he could live by himself since he entered the senior year of high school at the beginning of the year. So she went to live with his father who was in Europe. So he was stuck in the States.
Charlus grabbed a pair of bread and smeared some jam. He finished that and a glass of juice.
[Satiation Level 100%]
"What the hell?!"
Charlus was so surprised he dropped the jar in his hand. In front of him was a white box with this written on it. The jar shattered and one of the pieces of glass pierced through his pant.
"Ow!"

"HP?"
A window suddenly appeared in front of Charlus.

Charlus\' curiosity was peaked and he closely examined the window in front of him. He poked it but his finger went right through it.
"Its just like a game. Wait, if its like a game, do I have a level or something?"
"Status!"
A similar but bigger looking bar appeared in front of Charlus.

"Wow!"
Charlus suddenly remembered he needed to be somewhere.
"Oh Shit! School!"
Charlus raced out of the house. He was in a single floor independent house that was seemingly in the middle of nowhere. The school was only a mile away though. Charlus had a scooter so he got there in a few minutes.
However, by the time he got to his classroom, half the class was finished.
"I\'m sorry I am late Mr Smith. I promise it won\'t happen again."
"Why is it that I can\'t accept this as a reason for you being half-an-hour late to my class Mr Black?"
"Cause it isn\'t one?"
Mr Smith raised his eyebrows. Charlus nervously though of an excuse. Suddenly he remembered the pain in his leg.
"I broke a jar in my house so I took some time tending to my injury Sir."
Charlus pointed to his pant which had a blood stain on it.
"Fine. Don\'t be late next time. Go and sit."
Charlus sat in the end with a grin on his face. He was relieved that he was excused. he didn\'t want to get into trouble.
Charlus tried to pay attention but it was Math. When one had an option between Math and anything else in the world except Physics, that person would take the latter option. Instead of listening to Mr Smith, Charlus started exploring the phenomenon he discovered that morning.

Charlus was relieved that he wasn\'t that far from his classmates. As far as he knew, levels were an accurate representation to some extent of one\'s strength. He was only one or two levels away from the majority of his classmates.
"Mr Black! Could you please solve this problem?"
Mr Smith called out to Charlus. Charlus looked at his teacher. There was a trigonometry problem on the board. Charlus barely knew trigonometry and had no idea on how to solve the problem. He was planning on standing up and saying that he didn\'t know when another hand stood up, saving him.
