Welcome to my Gamer rewrite. Hopefully, this will turn out better than the last one. Last time, I felt like I rushed things and I didn't explain what the story was really about and it felt like it was mostly a fate/grand order story which it wasn't. So now I'm going to explain what I intend to do from the start. Enjoy!
Chapter 1
I opened my eyes and found myself in a strange place. I was standing on a large circular platform, that seemed to be made of illuminating stained-glass. The thing I found most surreal was an image of myself, apparently sleeping on the stained-glass.
"Well, this looks familiar." I said, incredulously. This place I found myself in resembled the Dive to the Heart from the Kingdom Hearts series.. The station was mostly red, the sleeping image of me held a Kingdom Key Keyblade (A/N Red blade, gold rainguard, black guard, brown handle and red keychain.) the four orbs next to the sleeping image of me contained an image of me and my three best friends Ernie, Amelia and Carter. The orbs that went around the station had crowns. A green pasture with trees also decorated the bottom part of the station.
Suddenly a menu screen popped up in front of me, which startled me a little.
[Congratulations, you've been chosen to be one of the lucky few to receive the title and powers of The Gamer!]
Okay, this is exciting! I said, with a smile on my face. I really love that Webtoon.
[We'll start the tutorial. First, it is not necessary to vocalize your abilities or touch the Window. You can just think it. Go ahead, try it out.]
'Menu.' I thought.

"Awesome, looks like I have a pretty wide selection." I said, looking at the various options.
[Good, now check your stats.]
'Stats.' I thought.

I nodded."I'm only Level One. Why am I not surprised?"
[I should explain how your stats work. I'm sure you've figured it out already but I have to be sure. HP stands for Hit Points, EP stands for Energy Points. HP is your health gauge if your HP drops to zero you will die.]
[Now EP is, of course, the energy you have. You need EP to utilize most skills. Depending on what skills you use, your energy can take the form of Ki, Magic, Psychic Energy or whatever type of energy you want.]
"So, the skills I use will determine the type of energy." I said. Basically if I use a ki skill, I'll use ki energy or If I use a magic skill, I'll use magic energy. Wow, If I play my cards right I'll be able to learn almost every ability out there.
[Strength is your physical strength and determines how much damage your physical attacks inflict.]
[Durability is your physical durability. The higher your durability is, the less physical damage you take from enemies.]
[Speed determines how fast you are.]
[Boosting your intelligence increases the damage done by energy attacks as well as make you smarter.]
[Resistance deals with your energy resistance. You'll be able to withstand energy attacks as you increase this stat. You'll also be able to resist status effects.]
[luck determines how often good things happen to you in battle or in everyday life.]
[Every time you level up your stats will have a chance to increase by 1 up to 5, but there's also a chance some stats won't increase at all. Finally, when you level up you will gain 5 stat points you can spend on the stats of your choice.]
[This pretty much covers your stats. Let's move on to skills. Open your Skills menu.]
'Skills." I thought

"I already have five skills, good!" I was expecting Gamer's Mind and Body but not the other three. I thought I would acquire them later on.
[I take it you already know what these skills are. Good. As you already know you'll learn new skills by performing special actions or by obtaining Skill Books. You can also learn skills in the Skill Shop tab. You can purchase them with currency you earn on your journey.]
"A Skill Shop? I'll have to check that out later."
[This is the end of the tutorial. Get ready for transport and good luck.]
