Chapter 1: The Machine of a Dream

 

Daniel Edwards arrived at his uncle's house. Sleep was nagging at his mind as he knocked on the front door of the English house. Stupid jetlag, he thought miserably. The door opened to reveal a man in his thirties. His hair was dyed blue and he wore goggles on his forehead. His labcoat was covered in stains.

Despite his jetlag, Dan had to grin. “Still one for appearances, eh, Uncle?” He asked.

“Always with the jokes,” his uncle laughed. He moved out of the way so that his nephew could come in. “I've been working on a new invention. It still needs to be tested…” he said knowingly.

Dan perked his head up a little. “What is it?” he asked.

“Let's go downstairs so that I can show you,” his uncle replied. He led his nephew down the stairs to a large machine. The contraption was covered in monitors. Dan spotted a keyboard and a few buttons. “This is my invention!” his uncle stated proudly.

“So what is it?” Daniel questioned, giving the machine a lookover.

“I call it the Fantasy Transfer Module, but I'm working on some new names,” he replied.

Daniel rolled his eyes. “Fantastic, but what does it do?!” he asked getting aggravated.

“It allows you to put yourself in any game, show, movie, or book!” he exclaimed.

Some would have doubted him. Heck, most would have questioned his sanity, but Daniel knew better. His uncle was one of the best inventors that he knew. If anyone could do what his uncle claimed, it was his uncle.

“The first thing that you have to do is make profiles for the things that you would wish to be in,” his uncle explained.

Daniel sat down at the chair in front of the keyboard.

“First select a few games that you would like to try,” he instructed. Daniel typed in a few titles. “Now start making your profiles,” he said.

As Daniel worked on the profiles, his uncle began to explain how the machine worked. “When you enter the game, the machine will fill your mind with memories that you character should have had, if he had been in the game,” he started. “This is to help you interact with people.”

“And… Done!” his nephew said excitedly.

“Good now stand on that platform,” he instructed pointing at the platform in question. Daniel walked towards it and stepped onto it.

“What will you try first?” his uncle asked.

“Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance,” He said.

“There is another feature on here,” His uncle stated. “These games, movies, etc. are like other worlds. This machine will allow you to appear when, before, or after it takes place. Which would you like?”
“After it takes place,” Dan stated grinning. His uncle pressed a few things on the keyboard. After a moment, he pressed a large green button on the side. Dan's vision went black.

Well that's the end of chapter one. The chapters will range from short to long. I should be updating very often, if possible. Tell me how you like the beginning idea so far. R&R
