"Life" the RP

It was just the day after Life had been released, and already Nick was close to beating it. He had chosen the Easy difficulty, since he wanted to see what he was up against in challenge mode. Just yesterday he had put on the required suit with the helmet that seemed over-sized. He had made it to the final boss after 14 hours of straight playing. What the game advertised was true! He had actually forgotten that he was playing a video game! He made his character look almost exactly like him, except he added a few touches, he made his character slightly more muscular and wear a brown cloak. He even managed to get his favorite steampunk goggles into the game! He couldn't believe it, sure the game was expensive, but it was worth it!

He watched as he walked up to the flight of stairs in a seemingly pitch black room. He could see what was most likely his character's love interest in the middle. of the spiral staircase that had a mysterious blue glow that radiated from rare crystals that weren't so rare in this part of the game. The steps were large, big enough for a giant, he had to climb each step. He could almost feel the physical exhaustion in his muscles. He gave a sigh of relief and success as he climbed up the last step. He stood up and drank a endurance potion, he could tell a boss was coming based on how the background was set up. He smirked, he was prepared for this. His gauntlet with claws was jam packed with electricity that was formed through magic. He could summon thunder and lightning at will and he could claw-hook himself around rooms like he was Link in Legend of Zelda!

He approached the shape in the middle, cautiously. Something was going to happen, he knew it. He looked up to see only darkness with no light, to the sides, more darkness. He took more cautious steps towards the center, to the girl. He began to forget that this was a game once more, and began to ran towards the girl, giddy with excitement for finally being able to save her! That was when pillars of rock fell from the sky, a monstrous roar echoed from the black ceiling. Nick panicked, he shot blindly with his lightning into the moving shape in the sky. That was when it happened.

The world suddenly froze, Nick was unable to move as well. He witnessed the graphics grow worse at an alarming rate until there was nothing, but blurs. He wished he could scream and clutch his head and throw the headphones off as a high pitched noise was emitted into his ears. He struggled to move, but soon found himself in a long spasm as electricity shot through his body. He found himself once again in the real world, except he couldn't move still and he was falling over. He hit the floor with a loud thud, and blacked out. He was found by his neighbors only hours later, they had found it strange when he wasn't hooting and hollering over winning battles and loosing games. He was rushed to the hospital, and the news came and did a report. The company claimed that it must have been the system he was using. They couldn't have been more wrong.

Nick woke, he found himself in a field. A peaceful one, except it seemed like trees were flickering and he could see numbers flicker in the sky if he stared at it long enough. He sat up and looked around, forest all around except one way. The one way that wasn't forest was a village. He felt something on his shoulders and looked to see a cloak on him. He was also suddenly more muscular and there was a strange device on his hand. His eyes widened, how did he get there? Where was he? What happened and why was he his character in Life!?
