Chapter 0: What Just Happened?

"Yo dude, wake up!" A voice called out, while a hand shook my shoulder to rouse me from my slumber. I opened my eyes to see one of the other club members, Alex if I remember properly, was standing next to my seat.

"It's time man, we're here!" He exclaimed before walking away, probably getting off the bus. I shook my head, rubbing my eyes to clear the crusts, before grabbing my bag from the rack above me and following.

I guess I should tell you who I am huh? My name is Bond, James Bond. Nah I'm just kidding. My real name is Ryan Smith. I'm just a normal college student who is a member of the local anime club. The club has a mandatory trip to the annual anime convention every year. At first, I really enjoyed the trip. But over the period of four years that I have been trying for a PhD, it got old quick. Now I just go in and try to find an empty table and chair at the food court and chill.

Back at the current point, I stepped off of the bus and put my hand in front of my eyes to help dim the light somewhat. My eyes are extremely sensitive to light, so my pupils change even quicker than normal. My eyes also had three colors. They matched, but instead of being a solid color, they were a deep storm cloud gray with flecks of neon yellow and blue.

Sighing, I ran a tanned hand through my dark red hair before stretching to pop my back, letting me stand at my full height of 6'4", which I'm told is rather tall for a physically fit 24 year old man.

I quickly made my way to the food court. Buying a hamburger, I made my way over to an empty table and pulled out my laptop. I had brought it with me so that I could pass the time quickly. I figured that if I just sat here and read some MLP fanfics I could avoid the-

What? *sigh* Yes, I said MLP. Yes, I am a brony. Not really a big one though, most of what I know about the show comes from reading fanfiction, if not all of it. So yeah, I'm not sure if that even counts.

Anyways, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, I had thought that simply sitting here and reading while eating my lunch, I wouldn't be bothered. Boy was I wrong.

"Hey there!"

I will admit that I jumped slightly from the female voice that addressed me. I had been so wrapped up in what I was doing, that I had become oblivious to the world around me. That seems to happen quite a bit actually. Anyway, I looked up and saw a girl dressed as Yoruichi Shihoin. Her costume was spot on, even had the...ummm...endowment.

Yes I am a virgin. Kinda hard to find a girl who really worked with me, you know. I mean I've dated in the past but even so, none of it ever panned out past the second date, so we always parted ways.

Anyway, I wound up blushing extremely hard and having to make a large effort to keep my eyes on the girl's face.

"So what are you doing over here by yourself handsome?" She asked, making me blush even harder before she laughed, "Looks like I still got it! Anyway, What are you doing over here?"

"Uh...Umm...Well I'm just waiting out the field trip. It's mandatory, but I really just wanted to sit at home and read." I managed to stammer out.

"Well now, where's the fun in that?" She asked once more, before putting a hand on my shoulder and leaning into my ear. "Try something new, you might like it." She added before leaning back, winking at me, then patting my leg. She then turned and walked off, leaving me blushing and scratching my head in confusion.

"Something new, what could she have meant by-" I began before hearing a crinkling sound from my pocket. Reaching in, I pulled out a folded note. I opened it up to see that it said:

Try tier 5 @:

It also had a series of numbers, which I quickly recognized and blushed crazily at. Deciding to ignore it for now, I put in the link and found it rather interesting when I read the rules.

Why not? I figured mentally, before choosing my powers.

And wouldn't you know it, on my first choice the internet decided to try and flip me the bird.

Lust Empowerment. Really? When I'm already all hot and bothered! Definitely re-rolling that one. Stupid sexy cosplayer...

Anyway, what else will I get?

Well after re-rolls, I think I wound up in a really good position. Quintessence Force, Inner Beast, Dragon Aura, Weapon Transformation, heck, I even managed to get Flash Step. All in all, not bad.

I had, at that point, decided to try and walk around a bit. I wound up stumbling upon a booth with a variety of scarily accurate props.

"Hello Stranger!" The vendor said. He was dressed as The Merchant from Resident Evil 4.

"Hey." I replied as I began browsing. It didn't take but a few minutes for something to catch my eye. It was a small dragon statue, a western style dragon at that. Colored in a vibrant orange with deep blue spines and black claws. The statue was more like a figurine, it could fit into the palm of my hand, but it was so detailed that I could easily picture it moving and breathing fire.

"Say, how much for this dragon figurine?" I asked the vendor.

"Ah, so it seems that little Masamune has found her place. She's not from anywhere specific, so I've had her for a long time. Because of that, you can take her home for a mere five dollars."

Five bucks?! For something so detailed?!? I'm shocked! Also, Masamune? Oh well, who am I to turn down a good deal. So with that in mind, I quickly puled out my wallet, gave him the bills, and walked out.

Big. Mistake.

Not even five steps out the door and I'm feeling woozy. Oh crap. Now I know why I felt the situation was familiar!
