Chapter 2 - Skills Ain't going grind them selfs

"Your home late. What happened?" George Stacy

"I dropped off Chiaki Nanami off at her house, after that I swung by Oscorp to help Dr.Carla with moving some of her samples. We were half way done when lightning hit and sent a power surge through the building. We were evacuated by some of security guards while Oscop goes through damage control and clean up. Dr.Carla said I would have the next 8 days off." Gwen Stacy

"Why didn't you just come straight home after dropping off your classmate? Didn't your internship start tomorrow?" George

Gwen shrugged "Ehh I was closer to Oscrop then home so I decided to check in with my mentor." 

"Well you could of least texted me you were going to be late. I was worried something might have happened to you." George

"Alright I'll text you next time I think I will be late coming home." Gwen grabbed a slice of pizza out of the fridge and zapped it in the microwave. "Hey dad were you or mom comic readers when you were kids?"

"No. When I was a kid I was more interested in radioplays the comic books, why ask?" George

"Oh Chi said my parents must of been big comic book nerds to name me Gwen Stacy after the comic version of Gwen Stacy from Spider-Man. I looked it up no comic called Spider-Man ever existed as far the internet is concerned. Well to be fair Chiaki didn't seem all there after lunch. My guess is that the video games have finally fried her brain." Gwen kept eating the leftover pizza

"Well I haven't heard of a comic called Spider-Man. Your mom just liked the name Gwendolyne. So what are your plans with the time you have off from your internship?" George 

"Reading, drumming, and I might hangout with my friends Chaiki, Jubilee, and Pearl if she isn't all over her boyfriend." Gwen

"I'll never know how you found that mall rat, much less befriended it." George snorted 

"Jubilee is a fine friend; she is also good on bass. Hey dad, do you know Officer Morales?" Gwen asked

"Jeff Morales, a good man, has a seven year old kid. Wh-" George Stacy was interrupted by the crackle of his radio. "Looks like I have to head out. Flint Marko just escaped and someone was found dead near the breakout. I love you and have a good night." 

"I love you too, dad." Gwen waved her dad goodbye. Gwen finished her food and went to her room. "Sometimes I wish I was out there helping my dad with the good fight." Gwen left to go to her room emptying out her backpack. A white and blue spider fell out with her books. Gwen failed the perception check and didn't see the spider crawl up her leg. "Owch." Gwen saw the large spider biting her thigh. She quickly caught the spider and put it in a jar. She jut put a few small holes in the lid when she started to feel ill. "Great, get home, talk to dad and fall pray to the spider that snuck in my bag. Well at least I'll go in comfort." Gwen passed out on her bed as her molecules got all rearranged.

Chiaki looks up at the ceiling of her new home. "Right so not a dream brought on by cramming for my next exam. Great, I'm in a very dangerous world with an ability that gives me random stuff from the world of videogames. And I only have 24 chances to get something that will let me not be totally useless when shit hits the fan." Chiaki rubs her eyes and looks at the digital clock. "Well let's deal with my basic needs then get down to business on grinding these skills."

"Seven AM the normal line up. I get up and eat the leftovers because I have yet to get cooking skills. After that I take a quick shower. Then use pot and brush my teeth then finally turn on some music and sit in my nice comfy chair. Now I read the books. And that completely kills my song of when will my life will begin. Wait is that movie even out yet? Nope, not out till November. I'm also fucking glad I don't have that long ass hair. Honestly I think she looked the best with the short hair Flynn Ridder gave her. Okay enough distractions let's get to reading these skill books."

So I started with the cooking skill book that started at 9 AM and finished at 5 PM to get to Cooking skill level 3. I took an hour break to use the bathroom and eat another slice of pizza. I didn't want the food to go bad okay. I also didn't want to waste time cooking. I next read the logic skill book and finished it at midnight. It was time to sleep again.

"Yeah, I'm still stuck in 2010. I don't have to be in a full rush to grind out all my skills… who am I kidding I need to keep pushing myself shit hits the fan all too soon. Tony gets back in two months and then he will tank his company stock price when he ditches military contracts. That's the best time to invest because he will bounce back and I'll make a pretty penny. But to do that I'll have to have the capital to invest with. And $3000 is barley diem in the bucket. I'll just have to use my skills to make the money I don't have yet. Well I guess I will need to make a few games to make cash. What is a relatively easy game to make that requires minimal programming and art skills to produce that will make a profit?"

The song Toreado March started playing making me tense the fuck up. 

"Five Nights at Freddy's. Yes, that's perfect. No wait that will only work if I can find popular influencers to play it and promote it. Let's check youtube. Pwedipie is 10,000,000 subs, Markipiller 5,000,000 subs, Jacksepticeye is at 3,000,000 subs, and Yogscast was at 2,500,000 subs. Okay not is big as I'm used to seeing them but I'll take it."

(AN: This is a work of fanfiction so I'm allowed to fudge the sub counts and starting date for these youtube channels. Only Pwedipie and Yogscast were active in 2010. Markipliler wouldn't start posting till 2011 and Jacksepticeye didn't start till November of 2012.)

"Okay so FNAF 1 is a glorified slide show. It's 12 rooms with X amount of different slides. You only really deal with 4 enemies with a rng roll of getting Golden Freddy unless your on custom night and enter 1987 for the difficulty then Golden Freddy automatically gets you and crashes your game. Each Ai will get a movement opportunity every 4 seconds. The Ai will roll a d20 if the number meets or is under the Ai level that Ai will move. You have a limited power supply if you run out of before 5 AM your guaranteed to lose. Your only way of defending yourself is using the doors at the right times to stop Bonnie, Foxy, Chicka, or Freddy from getting inside. Each night increases how fast power is drained capping at 1% every 3 seconds in night 5. Each night lasts 8 minutes 55 seconds. There are 7 losing states that require a jumpscare animation and the animation for winning by getting to 6AM. There is a up to 3 star competition rank if you finished 20/20/20/20 mode. I think I will add a trailer for FANF 2 if anyone manages to beat 20/20/20/20 mode. FANF 2 is almost the same as FNAF 1 in terms of Ai movement. Power supply is limited to a flash light and the only other thing to worry about is the Puppet with the music box. There are the FNAF 2 Mini Games but it is pretty much the same game as FANF 1. I'm not going to do the whole series. I'm putting a hard stop at FNAF 6."

"I have other harder games to make. This world doesn't have Toby Fox so Undertale and Deltarune are fair games to make. Portal 1, 2, stories of Mel, Tag, and 3. The Stanley Parable and Balatro. There are other games I could also do but that's plenty to keep me busy till Ultron. The level 10 Indie Game job is nuts. The ability to make a triple A game every three months as a solo dev is just plain crazy. Not as broken as some game maker systems where you just use you memories of a game to make a full ready player one game in hours and no one has to buy new tech to play it because it just works. God I spent my whole morning doing outlines for game making when I have yet to grind the skills that would allow me to make the games in the first place."

I spent the next 7 hours getting my handiness skill to level 3. Yeah no if something breaks I'm going to be the one to fix it. I ain't calling any tech support. I decided to buy more the next two skill books for cooking, logic, and handiness. I also bought most of the recipe books. I didn't have §12,000 for the Ambrosia recipe. In total I spent § 8052 leaving me with § 8600. After spending all that cash I decided to pass out on my bed.

June 30, 2010

I woke up to see a moodlet staring me in the face.

Stir Crazy: -15 Mood lasts for 1 Hour after leaving home. Sims should leave the house frequently for sanity's sake. Shake well with a community marinade for best results.

I feel called out. You know what fine.. Fine I'll go to the Library to keep grinding my skills. It dose fulfill one of my current wishes. I double checked my Lifetime happiness/wishes tab. 

Lifetime Happiens Points: 12587

Lifetime Happiens Reward Shop: Open

Wishes

Wish 1 [Go to the Library ]

Wish 2 [Become Good Friends with Gwen Stacy]

Wish 3 [Learn About Sarah Walker's Real Job]

Wish 4 [Finish 5 Books 1/5]

After making some good waffles. I ran out of pizza yesterday. I took my car to Library. Yeah 350 LPH for going to a building with lots of books. When I went in a moodlet caught my eye.

Power Study: That quiet library atmosphere makes reading, studying, and working so much more efficient!

I started with the only martial arts skill book. That only took me 3 hours to finish and get to level 3 of martial arts. My eye twitched when I finished read the book. 

"I could have come here this whole time and gotten through these books so much faster!"

"SHHH. Please be quite young, miss this is a Library not a coffee shop." Stated the librarian who looked a lot like Rupert Giles from Buffy

"Young miss, young miss. I'm twen- seventeen. Do you see these curves I have. Do I look like a little girl who is just on her way to grandmother's house?"

"I'm sorry young madam, but please keep your outburst to a minimum." librarian

"I'm sorry I will try to keep quite."

I found myself more out of the way corner. To sit down and read another skill book. Charisma level 3 complete. This is the highest I can go in this skill without more friends. Charisma has a big social requirement to max out. 10 friends and 25 Relationships. Level 4 Requires 2 friends and 4 relationships. "Any Witch Waves, onto my last book for the day." 

I pulled out Cooking Skill Volume 2. That took me 6 hours but I was finally level 6 with my cooking skills. It was 8 PM when I left the library. I would of stayed longer to try grinding out another skill book but my other needs were telling me to go home and take care of myself. After a bath and another meal I went to sleep.

July 1, 2010

I woke up refreshed only to see two text messages waiting for me. Frist was from Shara Walker letting me know she would be over at 9 AM to check in. Second one was Gwen Stacy asking if I wanted to meet up and hangout at the mall at noon. I texted Gwen back sure if my case worker was done with me before noon. It would be a okay day to stop with the studying for a bit.
