A retry of a RWBY fic but this time, it'll be different.
Enjoy!
A young man lies dead on the ground in a small pool of his blood, he had died due to someone murdering him since they had won rare JRPG game that wasn't going to be released to the public for 2 years. His soul popped out from his body and disappeared out of thin air instead of going to Heaven or Hell.
In an area outside Time and Space...
The soul then teleported in an area filled with darkness, it was released and it then formed into the young man who was asleep. The young man's eyes fluttered open as he looked around, he looked around the darkness fear.
"Wher-where am i?" The young man asked full of fear
A menu then appeared in front of him, it reminded him of the menu's from Final Fantasy V.
"It's okay, your outside Time and Space with me. A menu that helps brings people into another universe, and you have died unfortunately." The menu explained
"WHAT!" The young man yelled in shock
"Yes it is true, you have died and over a video game no less. But i want to help another universe with a deal." The menu wrote
The young man looked at him in thought, he knew that this could end badly. Especially if he were to be sent into a dangerous world, that could end very badly. He then came to the conclusion of asking questions about the deal.
"Okay, what is this deal?" The young man asked
"That you will be reborn into a new world with special powers, and you'll have to defeat and special threat." The menu explained
"What special powers?" The young man asked
"The powers of video games, and any of your choosing within three genres combined with sub genres of said games." The menu said
"Alright, and what do i have to fight?" the young man asked
"An evil witch named Salem." The menu said
The young man figuratively stepped back in shock, he was going the RWBY universe. He seemed pretty hyped, now he save Pyrrha from Cinder.
"This... is.. GOING TO BE AWESOME!" The young man yelled
"Yes, yes of course. Now choose your genres, that might help a bit." The menu said
The menu caused a bunch of choices to appear on it, the young looked at his options for a bit. The young man then looked down in thought, what would be the best genres to choose from. He then snapped his fingers and looked up at the god.
"I'll choose the RPG, puzzle, and reaction based gaming genres." The young man said
"A wise choice choosing the puzzle and reaction based, but why RPG though?" The menu asked
"I feel like that may help me more than most other genres, plus i do have to keep an eye on strength and other things." The young man explained
"Well, what kind of RPG mechanics do you want for it?" The menu asked
"I feel like the leveling up system from Skyrim and Fallout is good, and i'll take some other stuff from the Persona series and Final Fantasy except the XIII series because that was a terrible game." The young man said
"Okay, i'll leave the rest of your design to you." The menu wrote
It then disappeared, a model then appeared afterwards. The young man look around the model, he then saw a menu of his choices. After a small while, he based on himself. He had brown hair, blue eyes, some red and black glasses on, and some minor faded scars around some parts of his body on the exact places as his old one. A menu popped up asking if he was okay with this design and he tapped yes. The menu then asked for his name and where he would appear, and his race. The young man then choose his name.
Aaron Thompson
He decided he was going to appear four minutes before Yang had arrived at Raven's old home, Aaron knew his age would be around Ruby's technically speaking at this time. His body started to fade from the darkness that was the area outside of Time and Space, he closed his eyes and waited to arrive. He then remembered that he selected to be a Wolf Faunus.
(Aaron's P.O.V.)
My body then appeared right in front of the entrance of Raven's old house which is in a wild forest area, i got up and looked around as my new wolf ears perked up. i then saw a menu pop up.
[Welcome to the world of RWBY, first off you need to choose the type of weapons you'll be using.]
It then gave me a wide list of choices, i then put it down to about five choices.
(Weapons)
[One handed sword: You can use a one handed sword and another item, both at once]
[Two handed sword: You can only use one sword with no other items held]
[Gun sword: A sword that is also a gun]
[Sword and shield: You can attack and block with ease]
[Custom: Blaze your own trail]
I looked at the custom option, do i want to be a trailblazer? HELL YEAH I DO, WHY WOULDN'T I!? I then tapped custom, i was then asked to select my two classes. i was meet again met with a wide variety of choices, i put it down to ten choices.
(Classes)
[Red Mage: Can use Black and White magic]
[Warrior: A person with plenty of strength and defense]
[Ninja: An agile and strong person]
[Berserker: A person who relies on heavy hits and critical strikes]
[Thief: An agile person who can steal without getting caught]
[Mystic Knight: A person who can enchant their and others weapons in battle]
[Sharpshooter: A person who is the best shot around]
[Phantom user: A person who uses their will as a way of fighting]
[Paladin: A noble hero who never kills and lets none die]
[Dark Knight: A dangerous killer who uses magic at the cost of health]
I looked at carefully in thought, i knew i would need to keep a balance on power and other things. If i am tough but less agile that could bring trouble, but if i was too agile then i'll never win a fight in a smaller amount of time. I decided on taking the Red Mage and Thief, i need to use a sword while remaining out of trouble. I was then asked to select two bonus items, it was only four though but i guess i shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
(Bonus item)
[Hackers gauntlet: A legendary item that can not only hack anything but also can hold more items]
[Healing amulet: Healing faster at the cost of magic]
[The Infinite Sack: A small sack with infinite space, it can also be combine with a pocket related outfit]
[The Mask of Fear: Makes anyone fear you, even gods will fall before you]
I looked at the last one with slight anger, i need more friends not less. I chose the Hackers gauntlet and the infinite sack, i need the inventory. I was met with a message.
[Let's get on with the tutorial or not, your choice.]
[Yes or no?]
I decided to take the tutorial, i'll need it for the future. I then gain a sheet of paper, i then read it.
[INV: Accesses inventory or if you have the hacker gauntlet you can open it there.]
[Stats: Accesses Stats same with the gauntlet]
[Social: Accesses social standing with people and their links]
[Info: Allows you to check information you've learned, can be accessed with gauntlet]
[Map: Accesses map, gauntlet can be used]

I looked at the last one, it's nice to know that things are good enough to have that option. I try to look at my skills, i then realize i need to think the word.
'Skills' I thought
[Passively Active]
[Gamers Mind (Max LVL): Allows you to see through tricks, and remain calm in the worst of situations]
[Gamers Body (Max LVL): Take no actual physical damage at certain points in your life until your powerful enough to survive, feel pain for 4 seconds, resting allows you to recover all HP, MP, AP, and all status effects which remains a constant]
[Always Active]
[Observe (LVL 1 0.00%): A skill that is what it is, really don't need to explain here]
[Night Vision (Max LVL): Being able to see in the night, and be the night]
[Enhance Hearing (Max LVL): You can hear the trees.. oh yeah and other things]
Umm, what was that last one about. I should look at my stats, that should help a bit.
'Stats' I thought
[Name: Aaron Thompson]
[LVL: 1 Race: Faunus]
[HP: 150/150, +1 regeneration every minute]
[AP: 0/0, +0 regeneration every minute]
[MP: 100/100, +2 regeneration every minute]
[Lien: 0, +0 pay grade]
[EXP: 0.00%]
[STR: 5]
[DEF: 5]
[SPD: 5]
[DEX: 5]
[INT:5]
[TP: 5]
[CP: 5]
[GP: 5]
[Points stored: 40]
Huh, that's nice. I guess i should assign those points evenly, so that way things work out well. I assigned them evenly, and now i have a total of 100. Ten for each area, that way i can still be the same i was when i started. That's when i heard some footsteps stop behind me, i turn behind me and i see.. oh no.
That's it for the first chapter, i hope you enjoyed this chapter. I decided to make this out of impulse, and idealism of gaming. Please don't hate this, i really tried.
I'll see you guys in the Fandom.
