Ver 16

Meanwhile, while Heroman was dropping grand pianos on escaping criminals’ cars, The Stick pretending to be languishing in jail, and Hemo bleeding Pygg Bank wet with his blood and dry with its money, the Heudringottingenberger-und-Hzyepterzchwagenoftereich Police Headquarters Mecha is finally repaired. And just across the street, Ver is visited by his sister and her little kid. Normally Ver would be charmed with how technology in the form of a portable gaming device would keep his nephew happy, but the thing is interfering with his life support systems. His sister noticed the fluctuations with the Medical-o-gram-izer® and tried to tell his nephew to stop playing. Finally, because Ver felt his head throb, he spoke, which hurt quite a lot. He said “If you keep on playing video games, you will be like one.”

“POOF!”

They were all shocked when they saw the kid turn into an orc. A large, green, pixelated orc, just like his video game character. “Whoa!” the kid-orc said, and turned off his gaming device. He turned back into normal. “I guess I really must have been playing too much after all.” said the kid. “And I must have been thinking too much of your addiction to playing.” said the mother. “And I think I had too much sedatives today.” said Ver. And his body acted as if it ingested too much drugs, and Ver began to see clouds. Not the type that had a beautiful blue sky and brightly shining sun as the background, but the type that had normal vision, only very foggy. The nurses and the doctors began to rush to Ver to know what again is happening to him and advised his sister and nephew to go home.

Upon arriving home, the kid discovered the Ver-given superpower he had: to transform into any videogame character he was playing.

“This will be fun.”
