Rewrite of the original chapter. I advise that all older readers read it.
Disclaimer: Now if you thought I owned RWBY then you, my dear friend are an idiot. Why the flying fuck of Jesus would I be here writing fanfiction about it if owned it?
Chapter 0: Life is fleeting.
"Damn! I'm so late! Mom is going to be extra worried." said a brown-skinned boy as he walked at a fast pace barely minding the people he nearly bumped into on his way home.
His name is D !0n B3$$3tt. He was a normal 14-year-old boy. He liked Anime and Manga. He lived with his mom his dad lived overseas. His sister moved in with her boyfriend so she wasn't exactly around pretty much leaving him alone as his mom worked a lot leaving him in the house by himself.
All by his lonesome. No one else.
But this story isn't about his life.
SSSSSKKKKRRRRTTTT!CRASH!
Well, his first life anyway.
"Pain….so…much….pain," he said as he crawled along the street. Flinching every time he felt a piece of metal from the truck sinking deeper into his chest.
What we really want to know about is his 2nd life.
(The void between realities)( D !0n POV)
You know when I was alive I was a Christian? You know the religion that thought there was only one supreme God and that as long as you did as his teachings told then you would be rewarded in death by going to paradise? I always thought I would go to heaven or probably purgatory. I was never a saint but I still wasn't an ass. More like a douche really. Well, it seems I ended up in the second thanks to truck-chan of all things. Seriously done in by the cliché' most authors use to kill their SI's? I feel so embarrassed.
Looking around my surroundings I am unsurprised to see a cold dark abyss with the only thing for miles is darkness and my dumbass(ass and dumbass are two different things damn it!).
YOU HAVE DIED!
Right to the point ain't it?
Greetings you lucky bastard! You have been chosen to wield the power of the [The Gamer]! Do you accept this power?
Y/N
What. The. Flying. Fuck?
Rereading the floating message a few times as well as touching the box confirms my suspicions.
This is real.
This is fucking real!
Huh.
You'd think I'd be more excited I mean I'm a 14-year-old boy. It's every kid's dream to have awesome superpowers like The Gamer even though I had to die to get mine. Though it's most likely [Gamer's Mind] at work. I remember it from the Gamer Web-comic being this instant-calm to think I would get this power of all things. Oh yeah, should probably answer the box.
My answer is yes of course.
Due to your death in your previous universe, Gaia has decided it was better if you start your adventure in a different universe. Until gaining a dimension-crossing ability, Gaia gets bored or the end of 'canon' you will be stuck there though you can still buy things through the Multiverse Gamer Shop or the MG Shop/MGS for short. You, however, have been given the choice of the world and on your point of entry. So Gamer, what is your choice?
[Worlds:
Bleach
Dragon Ball Z
One Piece
Fairy Tail
The World God Only Knows
Campione
Naruto
RWBY...
Devil May Cry...
Highschool DxD...
DC...
Marvel...
(list continues on)
I, of course, chose RWBY as it was the world that would push me to be strong but also it isn't that high on the cosmic scale so no dimension/universe busting enemies for me!...yet. Plus I wanted to beat the shit out of my most top 10 hated characters.
[Point of Entry]
{Reincarnation - You will be reborn weather as a canon character or a background one, either way, you will get a fresh start in life} - {Pros: Documents of your existence, 80% more relationship gains.
Con: 1). Until you have gained a dimension transport ability you will not have the energies such as Mana, Chakra, Ki, Nen or Reiatsu unless it is the signature energy of that universe. 2). Avatar Customization is random 3). Loss of access to 'Shop' until you reach a high level.}
{Self-Insert - You will be dropped into the world of your choice with the only differences of being the ones from the Avatar Customization screen} - {Pros: 1). Immediately gain the energies Mana, Chakra, Ki, and Reiatsu albeit all except Mana are locked. 2).Given the choice to customize your looks. 3). Immediate access to 'Shop'.
Con: 1).Relationship gain is normal. 2). No documents of existence causing immediate distrust of those who find out if told by anyone else other than the Gamer. 3). Dark creatures are naturally drawn to your stage presence. 4). Those with sensing abilities will be suspicious of you because of your connection to Gaia}
The reincarnation is tempting especially with the lesser cons but I think any family I'm in would be dysfunctional since I wouldn't be your average child plus with the Gamer power I'd have to put myself in danger numerous times to level up and I don't want to burden some poor couple like that.
So Self-Insert me, baby!
Picking self-insert causes it to go to what looks like a character creation screen from an RPG. Well better get this on with!
First thing skin. Just a little adjustment and BAM! Perfect, creamy tan skin! Second the hair. My extremely short black hair grew out to the middle of my back into a silky, smooth and black mane with blood red streaks and tips. It looked just like Son Goku in his Super Sayain 4 Form actually well except for the red tips. Just like how I always wrote the SI's in my stories. The third change was turning my eyes blood red with the final change being to change my build to a medium build to get rid of the slightly large stomach due to being lazy and not exercising.
Now that I'm done what next?
Now you must choose some primary weapons as well as custom clothes! You're an adventurer so you need to look the part!
It turns out I can take more than one weapon but there are no mechashifting ones so I guess that's why that is. I just chose two spears, two Bo staffs, two katana's, five ninja style Tantos like the ones ANBU's use in Naruto, two Wakizashi, two double-edged straight xiphoi, a large black scythe, a pair of Beretta 92FS 9mm pistols, a pair of revolvers, a Beretta DT 11 shotgun, a M40A3 sniper rifle, a circular shield similar to Captain America's and a pair of DMC Gilgamesh style gauntlets and greaves. I also picked up two shuriken and kunai holsters filled with 100 of each and long hooked chain that I wrapped around my chest kind of like the Ghost Rider.
For clothes, I got a pair of black jeans with red tribal markings that seemed to crawl up my legs. Over my feet were knee-length black combat boots with red tribal markings lining the sides. On my upper body was tight long sleeved muscle shirt that hugged my body with a face mask that reached the bridge of my nose and a leather biker jacket over it that had red tribal markings as well. I wore my gauntlets over my hands with my pistols put in the gun holsters attached to my belt that came with the pants and strapped my kunai holsters to each thigh while my shuriken holsters were attached to the back of my pants to my belt. The rest were in my [Inventory] which was an infinite pocket dimension I have access to so I can store things.
Now that you are mentally prepared as well as have the equipment it's time to explain how your Gamer system works!
HP - Your health. When you take damage it goes to your HP. If your HP goes to 0 then you will go unconscious while if it goes down further i.e. -1 then you will die.
SP - Your stamina. It's what you use to do passive abilities such as special combos.
[STR(Strength) - How much damage you can deal/how much you can lift etc.]
[CON(Constitution) - How tough you are and your body's ability to resist negative satus effect and magical attacks. 300 HP per points. It also governs Ki with you getting 300 Ki to your Ki pool per point]
[VIT(Vitality) - How fast you heal and your stamina as well as stamina regen. 150 Hp regen per min (out of battle) per point with 300 SP per point with 150 SP regen. Also increases Ki regeneration to 150 Ki Point (out of battle) per min. Since this stat also governs Chakra but is only half of the combination you will get 150 CP with WIS adding another 150 CP.]
[DEX(Dexterity) - How fast you can move, your accuracy, your flexibility and your perception which how 'fast' you can 'see' in laymen's terms]
[INT(Intelligence)- How much magic you have and how fast you can memorize information. 300Mp per point.]
[WIS(Wisdom) - How much magic you regenerate as well as how good you are at decision making.150Mp regen per min per point. Half of this stat also goes towards Chakra with you gaining 150 CP per point add to another 150 CP per VIT Point]
[LUK(Luck) - Good Luck plain and simple the more you have the more rare items you acquire and critical hits you land]
[AUR(Aura) - How much Aura you have, how much it regenerates and how dense it is. 300AP and 150AP regen (out of battle) per min per point.]
[REI(Reiryoku) - How much Reiatsu you have as well as how much you regenerate and how dense it is. 300 RP per point with 150 RP regen (out of battle) per point]
[Perks will be bought with perk points you get every 5 levels. You get 15 perk point at that time]
NOTE: Your in battle regen is 10% of your out battle regen. This was included so that you would not become a power hungry bastard.
Shit, this system is broken! But who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth?

'I can feel the mistrust already...Damnit!'
Skills:
[Gamers body-Lvl. Max-Passive](Toggle: On/Off)
Grants a body that allows for the user to live the real world like a game. You receive no physical damage from attacks only pain for a few seconds. After a sleep in a bed, you restore HP, MP and all status effects.
[Gamers Mind- Lvl. Max-Passive](Toggle: On/Off)
Allows the user to calmly and logically think things through. Allows peaceful state of mind. Immunity to ALL psychological status effects.
[Gamer's Soul-Lvl. Max-Passive]
Allows the user the ability to attain multiple powers pertaining to the soul as well as an indestructible soul unable to be destroyed by any type of power unless the opponent is exponentially more powerful than the user.
I looked at the third skill. That never existed in the Gamer manga but it's probably because powers involving the soul was never added or mentioned. Hmmm...
Age locked? Does my age being locked mean that I'll never age past 14? Well, that's awesome though I can still die it means I can spend time training in a Time Dilation dungeon without repercussions. Thankfully Gamer's Mind and Body are working. New Name though?
Tapping on it opens up a keyboard type screen which is asking for a new name to be typed. I try to go back cause I, of course, like my name, as is but it seems that it's required. *sigh*
What should I pick though? If I'm going to have a new name then it has to at least be cool. Hmmm, how about….
[Name: Nefarious Izanagi
Error!* Name already picked by another gamer!
What that was part of my online ID handle! Who the fuck is using my name?
Your character you created is currently using it.
Ooooh…wait he's real?
Every piece fiction from your world fan made or otherwise is real in some other reality.
Huh, that means he could probably kick my ass with a blink. Okay. Need another name then. How about….
[Name: Alduin
Name accepted*
A cool/weird sounding name associated with a badass. I don't like stealing a name but I'm not really good at naming people or in this case myself so yeah…go team Alduin I guess.
[Now that you have finished preparing here is 1000 Lien, 1 Scroll and one free level for good luck!]
[You have leveled up! You now have 10 stat points to spend!]
Then suddenly my world went black.
~Remnant~ Forest outside of Vale~ (In the sky)
Waking in up falling who knows how high in the air is not what I expected to happen to me. Thanks to [Gamer's Mind] I was calm and able to think things through so I used my shield to absorb the damage coming from crashing through some trees so I could just duck and roll from the rest of the drop.
*crash!*
Dusting myself off and putting back my shield into my [Inventory] I look around to see a forest of familiar red leaved trees.
So this is my life now huh? Well better make the most of it!
Now all I need to do is to get to whatever the closest thing to civilized civilization is around-
[New Quest!]
[Reach civilization without dying a painful death to Grimm!]
[Time Limit: 2 days]
[Success: A safe place to gather information a.k.a knowledge on the timeline/state of affairs, 5000 Lien, 1 unknown Skill book and 1000 EXP]
[Failure: Death and if you survive you must retake the quest]
Okay, awesome! So which direction to take? Four dumplings in a pot one jump right... west!
Running towards west I make sure to examine everything as to so that nothing can sneak up on me.
Through a special action, you have gained the skill [Observe]!
Oh, I was wondering when I would get that skill. Lets-
I was suddenly tackled out of nowhere flying into a tree from the force of the attack. Dizziness was wiped away in mili-seconds thanks to [Gamer's Body].
Looking up I saw a young Beowulf in front of me. It was thankfully low leveled.
Beowulf
Level: 3
HP: 600
AP: N/A
STR: 10
VIT: 2
DEX: 12
INT: 4
WIS: 0
LUK: 5
Taking out one of my pistols I shoot at the Grimm but it dodges and lunges at me with it's impressive(to me) speed. I manage to jump out of the way but not without losing 100 HP to one of its claws scratched my face.
[Gamer's Body] takes care of it so fast if I couldn't see my HP bar I would think I wasn't hit.
Before the Beowulf could lung again I manage to shoot in one of its eyes and one of its ears earning me the [Firearm Proficiency] skill.
You have dealt -100HP damage!
I didn't waste a second as I summoned a katana from my [Inventory] and started slashing at the beast. I managed to land a slash on its face and chest further hindering its vision and giving it a large gash on its chest.
Dodging a backhand I stabbed it in the chest and drew my sword through its side, disorienting it with pain from the blow.
While the Beowulf is disoriented I use my one of my last three bullets on the other eye leveling up [Firearms Proficiency] to 3 while shooting its nose and trying but failing to hit its other ear. Oh well, I still got what I wanted.
[Severe Impairment]
Due to the impairment of targets senses the target's DEX is decreased by 80% while its strength has increased by 60% due to panic.
Left ear impaired!
Right ear partially impaired! (slightly defend)
Left eye impaired!
Right eye impaired!
Nose impaired!
Target has lost 300HP!
Putting back the pistol and sword I take out the spear and try to sneakily stab it in the back while it flailed about in pain and panic.
Due to special action, you have unlocked the skill [Stealth]!
'Thanks' I think absent-mindedly as I proceeded to use the blunt end to whack it in its stomach area making it gasp for breath then like a savage I proceeded to shove the spear down its throat.
You have dealt -50HP Damage!
Critical hit!
You have dealt -80HP Damage!
Grabbing both its jaws I brought down its head to my level, stepped on the lower jaw taking out my spear with my left hand and then began to push up straining myself to accomplish this feat. I continued to push harder and harder as the Beowulf started to resist and tried to chomp me down. Deciding to stop playing I threw away my spear into my inventory and used my other arm helping me to stop from being chomped down.
'This was a bad idea. I forgot it has a strength of ten while I only have five.' I thought as I was deciding whether or not to use my stat points I gained before coming here.'
'No, I don't need to unnecessarily use them.' I thought as I pulled my right hand of the Beowulf jaws nearly causing me to buckle from the pressure of its strength as I took out my shotgun and shot it in its mouth, killing it.
[You have Leveled Up! You now have 20 stat points to spend!]
As it evaporated I put my shotgun back in my [Inventory] and exhaled a sigh of relief. Thank God that worked. I was worried there for a second. Need to remember that this is real life and not a game. While technically it's a game for me it's a game with no respawns. I died already let's not die again, shall we?
Noticing that the Grimm has done evaporating I look for any loot and for sure there it is. Two small purple crystals, 5 small red fangs and a wad of Lien cards. I just put them in my [Inventory] which tells me that was about 500 Lien. Huh, well I'll check the other items later when I'm out of danger.
Running back on the path I was going a minute ago I looked to the corner of my vision to see a flashing E-mail symbol which I mentally command to open.
[Firearm Proficiency] has gained 2 levels!
[Firearm Proficiency] -Lvl. 3/100- (Passive) MP Cost: N/A
Allows the gamer better knowledge and instinct on how to wield firearms to utmost efficiency.
Increases DEX by 0.5 every level
Current increase: 1.5 DEX
You have gained the skill [Spear Proficiency]!
[Spear Proficiency] -Lvl.1/100- (Passive) MP: N/A
Allows gamer better knowledge and instinct on how to use a spear and spear-like weapons at utmost efficiency.
Increases DEX by 0.5 every level
You have gained the skill [Running]!
[Running] -Lvl. 1/50- (Active) SP: 500 per min.
Due to pushing yourself in motion you are able to move faster.
Spd. 2kmph. x ( 1/2 DEX)
Current speed: 5kmph
I kept running sometimes using the skill [Observe] that allows me to pick up information from thin air. It leveled up 5 times giving me stats of people 30 levels higher than me as well as their perks. It didn't really cost much so I could spam it. [Running] also leveled up getting to level 10(25kmph) now only costs 400 SP.
Seeing something up ahead I look closer to see it's a fairly large village with a high wall. Running faster I tensed my leg muscles and jumped with all my might actually managing to make the jump. However, it seems I forgot to think of a landing strategy.
Not panicking thanks to [Gamers Mind] I rolled into a ball rolling on the ground for a while. When I finally stop I groan in pain for a few seconds even though it's already vanished.
Pushing myself up I stop as I feel a cold steel tip against my neck. Looking up I see a young blond woman holding a rapier towards the earlier mentioned spot.
"Uuuhhh...Hi? You wouldn't happen to know where I am do you?" I asked sheepishly as I tried to stay still so whoever she is doesn't kill me.
"You're in my backyard kid." she said as she pushed the sword a little deeper nearly cutting flesh but certainly making a small hole in my mask. Really lady I just got this outfit no need to be a bitch by damaging it!
Looking up at her name and title I promptly pale as white as a ghost.
Alexandria Arc
Mother of the Eight Crescent Moons
Lvl.?-?-?
'I should have put some saved stats point into Luck instead of saving them all.' I thought grumpily as the mother of my number one dude of 'who-I-would-want-as-my-best-friend' from western anime stared at me bewildered.
"Well? Got an answer or do I need to take to the police?" she asked again as I glared at the sky. Who the hell would take a kid to the cops for falling near their house?
"Eh, you know what fuck it, here it is," I said as I looked towards her with a serious while she was looking at me in anticipation.
"I fell out of the sky," I said deadpan.
END
UPDATE!: Yo, I know I said I was going to update a long time ago but apparently my laptop is beyond repair so I'm my dad said he's going buy me a new one but uuuuhh my dad is only going to get me a new one when summer comes around for 'reasons' (because you all know the thing parents do by holding things over you until you show them some good grades) so yeah I'm going to have to do the rest of the story on my phone so yeah. Oopsie?
