Hello if you're reading this Fan Fiction then I've caught your interest or at least the summary did. This is a short list of what you should know
This is a self-insert, there will be a mix of the gamer, payday the heist/ payday 2, it's an AU, Other games will be slightly mentioned, most weapons And weapons mods come off payday 2, It's a RWBY FanFic (no duh), I'm using the old skill tree for payday 2, some of the skills will be slightly modified
And last but certainly not least I do NOT own anything except my username and any original name I use. Everything else belongs to their respective owners.
Now on to the story.
So here I am on a typical day. I'm playing payday 2 with random people or friends, reading Fan Fiction, YouTube and around 6:30 pm I go for a late night jog.
However this time I don't look both ways before crossing, my earbuds are at max volume, and the driver is going way over the speed limit.
The driver hits me and doesn't even get out of the car to make sure if I'm alive. The road is cold and my last thought is "I regret nothing" and everything goes to black.
Congratulations, you have been chosen by the big man upstairs to become The Gamer, you'll wake up in a new, but familiar world. There you'll meet new and old friends. Together you'll pull off the biggest heists in history and go on a many amazing adventures.
It's time to get your PAYDAY too (A/N see what I did there)
"Alright so this is the afterlife, weird…..wait hold up did they just say I'm The Gamer now? That so fucking cool, but I'm dead."
To begin let's give you a new name.
First name:
Last name:
Alright, let's keep it simple.
First name Alex. Last name Mason.
New life might as well use the name of one of my favorite characters from call of duty before it became crap.
Your new name is Alex Mason.
Is this correct?
I said yes and another screen popped up.
Would you like a tutorial, Mr. Mason? (It is highly recommended)
"Sure, not like I have anything better."
"Very well. let's start with the commands. Commands come in two versions soft and hard, Soft commands can be activated by thought , speech or touch, Hard commands can only be activated by speech or touch.
Please make a selection Mr. Mason.
"Soft commands please." I went with soft since I didn't have to say inventory out loud every time I wanted to access it.
Now don't worry too much, Soft or Hard commands won't be activated if you use a keyword in the context of a sentence. To continue please say or think Next.
I thought next to see if the commands actually worked.
Now, let's take a look at your menu. Now access your menu by thinking or saying menu.
"Menu," I thought and a blue screen opened up along with nine other options.
Status
Skills
Inventory
Equipment
Quests
Relationship
Factions
Skill Tree
Let's start with your Status.
"I would, but I'm curious about that skill tree….skill tree," I thought
Come on buddy, work with me. The sooner we get this done the sooner you'll get to go to your new life.
"Seems this thing has a sense of humor…..might as well get on with this status please."

Condition: Normal
This is your profile. These numbers are extremely important, so it's advised that you learn them.
Now let's give you the rundown.
Level: This is your current level. This is the power average of an individual. The higher the level of a character the higher power they have. Level is increased by earning Experience points. Leveling up increases your HP and Aura and gives you two extra status points.
Reputation: This is your criminal standing. The higher it is the higher respect you have in the underworld. It's also unlocks contacts such as a weapon dealer, an armorer and so on.
Title: This is your current title. Titles can give many effects and are unlocked by meeting a certain criteria.
Hit points (HP): Hit points tell you how much damage you can take before falling.
Damage taken reduces your HP. Once you reach zero you'll go into bleed-out mode. Once you go into bleed-out mode you'll have thirty seconds to get medical attention or the injection before passing out. Once you pass out someone can finish the job. HP can be refilled by using medical items such painkillers, bandages, and so on or by sleeping or eating bits of food.
Armor: Once your aura is gone your armor will keep your HP from going down until it gets destroyed.
Aura: You first line of defense. It's your soul basically making a shield around you to keep you from getting seriously hurt. It also helps to speed up the process of recovering from wounds such as gunshots, broken bones, etc.
Aura Regeneration (AR): How fast your Aura can regenerate
Stamina: Determines how long you can run, climb or anything that requires a lot of strength to be maintained.
Stamina Regeneration (SR) Determines how fast you can recover Stamina.
Strength (STR): Determines how strong you are. It also affects how much damage a melee weapon does, how much you can lift, and how much you can carry in your inventory.
Perception (PER): Determines what you notice around your environment. As well as how accurate you are with all firearms.
Endurance (END): Factors how many hit points you have and how resistant you are to poisons, radiation, and disease.
Charisma (CHA): Determines how much influence you have in a conversation and how good your acting and lies are. Can also help when negotiating with people.
Intelligence (INT): Determines how smart you are. Higher INT means more EXP, faster learning rate, and a higher Aura.
Agility (AGI): Determines how fast your body can move. Affects how fast you can reload and how quick you are to react to danger.
Luck (LCK): Determines how lucky you are. Affects the drop of rare items and how well you do in gambling.
Stat points: points used to increase your S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
Skill points: Used in the skill tree to get rather exotic skills.
Experience points (EXP): represents your progress between levels. Is earned by killing mobs, completing quests or training your skills
Reputation points: Represents your progress between reputations. Is earned by doing legally questionable action.
Status: Represents the condition of your the body. It affects your S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
Now your stats aren't much, so here's five Stat points to help you out.
"Alright, five points. Let's see. I let's add a point to my lowest stats which endurance and charisma. Then add two points to strength to increase my inventory capacity. Then the last point to precipitation so I'm better at shooting
[Thanks to careful planning your INT went up by 1]
"OK a free point, but I get the feeling I'm going to get a lot of those since I'm a low level."
[Thanks to your understanding of lower levels your INT went up by 1]
"This is the kind of crap I was talking about," I said slightly annoyed.
Since you played video games I have the feeling I don't have to explain everything on the menu.
"Oh thank god. I thought it was going to be one of those tutorials where it drags on forever."
Now let's move onto the skills menu.
"Skills," I said deciding to use the voice command.
Gamer's Mind Level: MAX
Description: You no longer panic during high times of stress and it becomes easier to make critical decisions in high-situations.
Gamer's Body Level: Max
Description: When damaged you only feel the pain for a few seconds. Allows most wounds to disappear. Depending the severity of the wound determines how long it takes to disappear. Some wounds will leave a scar if it's damaging enough
Observation level: 4
Description: Allows you to collect information on people and objects. Can also help you spot details invisible to other people
Bleed out Level: Max
Description: Allows you to make a final stand when you're out of HP
Note: Please be aware you can only go into bleed out THREE times before passing out. Can be recharged when you use a medic bag, sleep, or get medical attention
Don't be sad that you only have a small bit of skills. You'll get more over time.
Now let's return to the menu.
"Menu," I said and once it came up."Skill tree."
This is your skill tree. The only way to obtain the skills here is through skill points, but the only way to obtain those is through leveling up your reputation.
Let's give you the rundown
Mastermind: The Mastermind is a manipulative leader who excels in situational control.
The Enforcer: The Enforcer is a violent criminal, usually employed by crime syndicates to do jobs no one else can.
The Technician: The Technician is an expert in the practical application of criminal science, enjoying anything that goes BOOM!
The Ghost: The Ghost is a stealth artist, capable of Grand theft without force or violence.
The Fugitive: The Fugitive is a survivor, always on the run and an expert at hiding from the law.
Now I'll throw you a bone and give you three skill points free of charge.
"Alright. Let's see. Unlocking The Mastermind gives me a medical bag so that's a must. The Enforcer gives me an ammo bag so again that's a must. The Technician give me two explosive charges. Tempting, but I'll see what the others give me. The Ghost gives me one EMC. Not really useful, so no. The Fugitive gives me four first aid kits, but if I remember correctly they don't recharge my bleed out. So guess I'm going with the explosives.
[Thanks to careful planning your INT went up by 1]
[Your items can be found in your Inventory. Along with other things as well. So please go there now]
I said "Inventory" and my inventory opened up
Inventory
Black T-Shirt (1)
Grey hoodie (1)
Black pants (1)
Black Running shoes (1)
Hockey Heat mask (1)
Light ballistic vest (1)
Frag grenades (1)
Medical Bag (1)
Ammo Bag (1)
Trip mines (2)
Chimano 88 pistol (1)
AMCAR Rifle (1)
Locomotive 12G Shotgun (1)
Brass knuckles (1)
Injection (3)
Samsung Galaxy (1)
"That's some pretty good stuff, but those guns are where the worst in Payday 2. Well gotta start with something i suppose, but what's the injection?" I thought
[This is your inventory. It will be disguised as a bag to avoid people asking questions and as for the Injection well….Payday 2 logic, so just roll with it. As for the medical bag, ammo bag, and explosives (including the grenades)every time they're used they will replenish every 24 hours]
"So basically the injection will give me some of my health back after someone injects it into me after i go into bleed out mode...yep payday 2 logic" i said after reading that
[so this concludes the tutorial, but here's some side notes]
[1-You're going to the RWBY universe...have fun]
[2- You'll be a few weeks into RWBY]
[3-Relationships go from zero hearts to five hearts]
[4- Faction marked you from idolized to vilified and anything in between….just think of Fallout New Vegas]
[5- Crime. Net will give you contracts and Contacts]
[6- It's an AU so somethings are not the same]
[7- Equipment allows you to put stuff on easily and quickly, So get your guns and clothes on]
I said "Equipment" and a screen came up. The screen had a human body with the labels Top, over shirt, armor, bottoms, shoes, you get the point.
Next to that were the weapon slots. There were five slots. There was the primary weapon, secondary weapon, sidearm, melee weapon, and throw-able.
I proceed to equip the black T-shirt, then the black hoodie, followed by the black pants and black running shoes
After the clothes i equipped my weapons. The AM CAR was the primary, Locomotive was the secondary, Chimano 88 was my sidearm, brass knuckles were the melee and the grenades were the throwables.
I looked at myself and thought "Not bad, but where are my weapons stashed?"
I looked at my bag and saw the AMCAR and the Locomotive strapped to the bag while somehow a holster got onto my leg and the pistol was in it.
After that a screen came up right in my face, it's not even funny how close it was to me
[This is the end for now, enjoy your new life. Get a girl, make history and most important of all DON'T DIE AGAIN also have fun….BYE!]
(A/N Hope you enjoyed the first chapter and I will hopefully have the second chapter up soon. So please review, follow, favorite, and with that being said Rabbit out!)
