Oh, wow. I kinda want to write KHR Drabbles from all of this. XD

Tsuna sighed in his seat, staring at his phone with a dejected face.

“Man, I died again. This boss is too hard!”

Sighing once again, he checked his character revive at the capital city of Sofya. He clicked his tounge in frustration, checking his items once more before going to the blacksmith. It seems he couldn’t defeat Roshan with his character yet, so he would train his blacksmithing skills in the meantime.

But before that, he’d need materials.

After talking to the NPC, Tsuna went out and started asking other players for extra materials, which he obtained by buying from them. He then checked his blacksmithing skill - 86% which is not that bad.

“Tsu-kun, dinner is ready!”

Tsuna nearly dropped his phone in surprise. It was already 6? Really, he’d been playing that long?

“Coming!”

He teleported to his house inside the game and logged out.

- - -

“Yo!” “Good morning, Jyuudaime!”

Tsuna smiled and greeted the two. It was the summer holidays, and his guardians were all but scattered to different places due to training Reborn suggested one time. To his surprise, however, Reborn went away saying he had something to do, leaving Tsuna with no mentor, so he took the chance (really, this is a rare chance) and immersed himself with games.

Ah, right. Before Reborn came, Tsuna was already playing online games - mmorpg’s to be exact - since he gave up trying to study and it interests him. He played numerous games before, but now he’s playing a new game called Toram Online which was made by Asobimo.

He’s not the best at games though, but he seems to always pull through the challenges, so why not?

“Tsuna, you okay?”

The young Vongola blinked and smiled sheepishly. “Sorry, just thinking about something.”

This seemed to surprise the two. Gokudera put on his determined face and asked, “Is something bothering you, tenth? I’ll take care of it!”

“No, no! It’s nothing, Gokudera, really!”

“If tenth says so!”

Just then, his cellphone blinked indicating a notification.

- Maintenance at 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM JST (Japanese Standard Time) today! - New map to be explored! New monster and boss will be released! - Main quest will be updated! - Level cap will be raised from 80 to 85! - Fixing bugs about the inventory problem. - Adding new Gacha costumes!

Tsuna can’t help but to be excited. Asobimo seemed to be putting some good updates this time! He didn’t notice his guardians peeking from behind.

“Toram Online?”

“Hiiiieeeee!” Please don’t scare me like that!

"Maa, maa, that game seems interesting.” Takeshi said, fishing out his smartphone.

“Shut up, baseball freak! Sorry about this idiot, tenth!” said his storm guardian, also getting his phone from his pocket.

“Um, what are you guys doing?”

Gokudera beamed at him.

“We’re going to play with you from now on, tenth!”

- - -

As expected, the two we’re good at the game. Gokudera seemed to really liked the games mechanics - where he could pick his own skills and try to wear many costumes. Takeshi, on the other hand, was a casual player at most; where Gokudera was busy leveling his Alchemy skill, Takeshi would go and use the Mercenary system and would sometime hire another player - or Gokuder’s. Most of the time he would sit at Rakau Plains doing nothing, but he’s always with the other two when fighting a boss or completing a hard quest.

Gokudera picked a DPS (damage per second) mage, while Takeshi picked a dual-wielding swordsman. Tsuna himself was a DPS mage, but more of like a tanking-healing one since he really doesn’t like to die (this is why Gokudera’s second character was pure healer and would use it sometimes for support).

They progressed immensely by that time, and their main character were all above level 80 by the time the last two weeks of their summer started to roll.

It wasn’t until the next update for the incoming event happened that problems started to arise.

To begin with, Tsuna doesn’t spend money for in-game purchases, since gacha doesn’t really interest him - but this turned out to be a problem within the latest expansion when a bug targeted players without single purchase from the shop and rendered their currently weapons obsolete, which in turn raises millions of questions and anger from players around the world.

Asobimo released a statement, apologizing for the inconvenience and annound a full day maintenance the next day.

It was fine, really. But Gokudera wasn’t okay with it, so he sent out a full-blown letter demanding the company to fix everything within the day, which in turn they replied with more apologies and a promise they would fix it as soon as possible. They did this three days later, adding the new event, Summer Troubles, with limited time map dedicated for monster and a boss during the event as compensation.

Two days later the event was release - Tsuna was about to cry.

The game was fixed and everything, but another problen arose. The bug was removed but it affected the new map for the event significantly, making the monsters stronger and the boss even more so.

“This is ridiculous!” Gokudera snapped when they were killed yet again. The event boss, Yselenica, was an archangel that had fallen during the Battle of Worlds - meaning the story where the world of the game was created. The boss information also stated that during his long time of being alone, Yselenica’s sadness turned into hate making the once kind angel into something sinister.

For starters, her level was 100 - the cap was still 85, so overpowering her by level is impossible. Additionally, she has an array of attacks where her magic removes every buffs/bonuses a player has - and also instantly killing the entire party upon hitting them. Also, most of her skills were AOE (area of effect), meaning almost all of her skills were wide-ranged, making it hard for tanks and melee fighter to attack; save for one skill.

This skill was a single line attack, but also one of the deadliest. It deals thousands of damage to a player and unless you’re a tank, you should be worried. That’s when another problem comes in - the boss likes to target magic casters - which were already vulnerable as they were. Tsuna’s character for one, is a pure INT meaning most of his skills were for dealing damage rather than protection like tankers does.

Takeshi, who was always acting as a tank, always die first - which is funny, since his character build isn’t really for tanking. He’s a swordsman, damn it. Takeshi’s character is just a proxy tank - which gave them another problem - they don’t have a proper tank. So one day, they’ve decided that Takeshi would make a proper tank.

Once they’ve successfully turned it to lvl 80 (with the help of exp buffing items), they came back to the new boss to challenge it again - in Nightmare mode (because Gokudera wouldn’t want to defeat it in easy mode). The animation starts, and the battle begins.

“Takeshi!”

The swordsman responded by running towards the boss, activating a skill to get it’s attention; Tsuna and Gokudera hitting it with spells in the background. Then they started counting. Bosses, specifically, have predetermined attacks - meaning their attacks were set to a certain order. But if an attack hits it with flinch, it would suddenly get randomized and then its nigh impossible to beat.

“AOE, dodge!”

They ran away from the red circle, almost hugging the edges of the map. After that they continued this for minutes, with Takeshi taking aggro of the monster and the two buffing him and healing.

Until Tsuna’s attack made the boss flinched.

“Shit!” he cursed, running away from the deadly single attack that was suddenly aimed at him. Just when we managed to get his HP down to 8%! He managed to escape, but then got hit by another surprise attack and died. “Oh, come on!” he said as he stared at his dead screen. NO, god dammit, they were going to finish this thing off!!

“Takeshi, continue holding her down, Gokudera, keep healing him. I’ll use my revive this time.”

“Got it!”

“Roger, tenth!”

Tsuna wait for another attack to finish, before reviving his character and running to the other direction. “Takeshi, take her to the other side of the map! I’m going to use my new combo!”

“What, now?!”

“It’s fine! Let’s just hope she’d die before we did!”

Takeshi laughed at this, but obeyed nonetheless. Gokudera gave Tsuna an ATK raising buff and nod at him gratefully. “Right, here I go!”

Tsuna clicked the skill button and his character released a couple of attacks, each one hitting stronger than the last - and one attack managed to hit her too hard and the boss suddenly turned to him. He released another combo this time, and screamed when an attack made a critical hit, dealing 83,674 damage - killing the boss.

“YEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! WE DID IT! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”

Beside him, his guardians were screaming as well. “Good job, Tsuna!”

“No, idiot, tenth is more than good! He’s amazing, the best!”

Just then, something hard hit Tsuna’s head and he screamed in pain. “Having fun, Dame-Tsuna?”

“Reborn, that hurt!”

Reborn’s aura went dark. “Oh?”

“Hieeeeee! Don’t shoot my cellphone, Reborn!!”

- - -

Ryohei was doing his EXTREME jog to Namimori when he saw the trio walking down the road. “Hey, how’s yo- AHHHHHHHHHH!!! WHAT EXTREMELY HAPPENED TO YOU GUYS?!”

Tsuna’s pale, thin face greeted him. Takeshi and Gokudera seemed to be in the same situation. A small, hollow laugh came from the young Vongola, creeping the Sun guardian.

“Reborn punished us.”

Well, he didn’t have anything to say to that.

- - - A/N: Hi, yes, I love games you see. I hoped I didn’t made this one very complex, as that would be detrimental for both of us. I hope you like thia though! The bit part about Yselenica is made up, but Toram Online is very much real and I love that game! Thank you for participating in the event! You can ask me anytime for questions or requests if you do have one! ^^

Tsuna fiddled nervously on his seat, eyes darting everywhere but the person at his front. He could see several of his classmates looking in his general direction - at her. Or rather, his crush.

[Name].

He almost blushed at the mere thought of her name. The ever kind, beautiful and happy [Name]. She was one of the few that treats him nicely and equal as everyone else. Sometimes, she also saves him from the bullies that manage to get a hold of him. Well, before Gokudera came anyway.

Speaking of Gokudera..

The guy was doing weird signs and looking pretty much an idiot by flailing his arms about, but Tsuna knew what he was doing - atleast who he was pointing to anyway. He could see Takeshi smiling and giving him a wink as well, mouthing ‘Good luck!’ while at it. Tsuna fiddles in his seat nervously, glancing back and forth to his crush and the letter safely tucked in his bag.

It was Valentine’s day, and Tsuna barely mustered up his confidence into writing a letter for his crush.. What more of giving it to her? He should’ve just really put it in her locker..

Then he remembered the amount of letters he saw at her locker this morning.. Nevermind.

The bell rings.

Oh God.

Before he could stand up however, there was a big wave of people who came out of nowhere, crashing to him. He squeaked in surprise and lost his balance, aware of the panicked screams from his friends. Falling on the floor, Tsuna ducked his head barely avoiding the swarm of people left and right.

He failed to notice his bag being snatched by someone.

- - -

Tsuna was seconds away from bawling his eyes out.

His bag was missing! They looked everywhere but couldn’t find his bag. Takeshi and Gokudera had already asked most of their classmates and some of the people as well, but not a single soul had seen his bag.

Not only his notes and books were there, but he was really really worried about his love letter. What if someone saw it? What if they tease him about it? What if they showed it to the public and humiliate him? Or use it to blackmail him? Oh, the possibilities!! Just of thinking about makes him sweat profusely and whimper in fear.

Together they’ve been looking around the compound (what if they throw it or hide it on the trees?), not caring about lunch anymore, but their efforts had been futile until now. Tsuna gave a worried glance at the big clock, noting they have only 10 minutes left before lunch break ends.

He was about to cower into another bush when a familiar voice woke him from his thoughts.

“Sawada-san!”

[Name] was running towards him. Wait, that doesn’t sound right. He took a deep breathe and closed his eyes, pretty sure hallucinating with the lack of food in his system, but turned pale when he opened them. She was still there, looking at him with confusion.

“Are you okay, Sawada-san? Do you want me to take you to the clinic?”

He let out an unexpected squeak and she giggled. Tsuna looked around, noting that Yamamoto and Gokudera were missing. Giving the girl in front of him a nervous smile, the future mafia don was already killing himself at the back of his mind.

“H-Hello, [Name]-san.”

Tsuna promptly got a heart attack when his classmate handed him an oh-so-familiar object they’d been trying to find for the last hour.

“Sorry I didn’t give you this sooner. You were hard to find so.. I barely saved it from the people earlier, so here!” And handed him a red bean bread.

He was sure his face was red as tomato by now. “T-Thank you. Y-You really don’t have to give me anything. I-I’m sorry too!”

[Name] giggled again and shook her head. Ah, she’s like an angel.. “It’s okay! See you at the classroom, Sawada-san!” before waving him goodbye.

Wait, no! This is his chance now!

“W-wait!”

“Yes?”

Tsuna almost slapped himself from stuttering, but collected himself and stared at her, resolve burning in his eyes. He rummaged in his bag, pulling out a white envelope and using both hands he handed it to her. Tsuna saw that [Name] is blushing as well, and that made him feel a bit relaxed and less nervous.

“I..”

She was fiddling the letter and giving him a shy look. Is he going to get dumped? Without even reading his letter? Does she not like him? Oh my god did she hate him after all?

“I have something for you as well.”

Oh no oh no oh no- “Wait, what?”

[Name] hands him a small pouch of sweets, before giving him a kiss on his cheeks and running away.

He stands there awkwardly for atleast a minute, before realization started to dawn on him.

She likes him. His crush liked him back.

SHE LIKES ME BACK!!! ASDFSHSLALLSJWISHSHSHHS-

…

When Takeshi and Gokudera came back from the bathroom to ask some bullies if they found Tsuna’s bag, they didn’t expect what they saw.

The future mafia don of the Vongola was hugging some tree with an adorable, stupid smile on his face.
