R(emnant)PG
Now, my life is hardly interesting. I watch anime, play video games and do schoolwork if I have time. If you told me that I'd be sucked into one of my favourite shows with the powers of an RPG character, I'd laugh it off and step away from you. I mean, It sound crazy right? So, imagine my reaction to waking up in a void with a text box in front of me.
[Welcome! Please enter your name.] The box said in a light yellow text box, written in dark blue. I stood there for a moment, bewildered to say the least before I decided to play along with this weird dream/hallucination.
"Rex Camello." I said. Was that really my voice, so laid back and confident? A new text box showed up instantly after my words.
[Nice to meet you, Rex Camello! You're about to become The Gamer in a world of Bloody evolution. Would you like a quick tutorial first? ]
[Y/N]
"I've read enough fanfics and web comics to tell where this is going." I sighed "All right, let's do this tutorial!"
[Good choice! By the way, your fore knowledge of The Gamer and your situation increases your WIS by 1]
"Good, stack those stats. So, what's first?" I asked cautiously.
[How about you start by selecting a command type? Hard commands require manual activation whereas Soft commands can be activated by speech or even thought!]
"Soft commands then." I said without a hint of hesitation. I'd rather not see what a fictional asylum looks like, thank you very much.
[Excellent choice, sir. Now start by opening your status. You should have an idea what to do here.]
"Status" I said. A large box appeared in front of me.
[Name: Rex Camello ]
[Level 1]
[Title: The Gamer (No Bonus)]
[HP:50 ]
[MP:45 ]
[STR: 7 ]
[DEX: 5 ]
[INT: 5 ]
[WIS: 6 ]
[VIT: 4 ]
[LUK: 9]
[EXP: 0/100]
[Lien: 0]
[Status: Surprisingly calm]
"Well, that currency tells me where I'm headed now." I said to myself. A few boxes appeared almost immediately after.
[You got a Skill! Observe]
[Observe LV 1 Exp: 00.00%]
[Allows the user to analyse the world around them.]
[Your careful observation increases your INT by 1]
"Neat! Now I can... Look at stuff. Not as cool as I thought" I muttered.
[Let's move on, Shall we? Check your skills.]
That wasn't what I had in mind though. "How about I check my Inventory first?" I asked, hoping to check if my phone was still in my pocket.
[Not just yet. This tutorial is set up to be as efficient as possible. Skills first, iPhone later. ] was the response I got.
"Fine. Skills." I grumbled, as a list appeared in front of me.
[Observe LV 1 Exp 00.00%]
[Gamers' Body LV MAX]
[ The gamer doesn't need food or sleep, nor can they be affected by attacks aside from HP damage, so no broken bones or bleeding]
[Gamers' Mind LV MAX]
[The gamer can remain calm and calculated in any scenario, regardless of the user's true feelings.]
I read the descriptions of each skill carefully. If I remember right, I can unlock new skills by just performing certain actions or using a Skill Book.
[Your careful use of your memory increases your INT by 1]
"Wait a sec, what do these stats do?" I enquired with a hint of annoyance at not having asked that sooner.
[Good question. Your inquisitive nature increases you WIS by 1. Anyway, STR is how hard you hit, VIT affects HPand HP regen. DEX is how fast and agile you are, INT is not just your brains, but also increases MP and MP based damage. WIS increases your MP regen and LUK just helps everything.] The screen helpfully informed me.
"OK, that's good. Now I have an idea on what to do once I level up." I thought to myself. "So, inventory now?" I asked with an impatient tone.
[Of course. Here's your inventory. It's not got much so let's be generous and give you a gift?]
[A weapon.]
[Two Skill Books]
[A Cookie.]
"Why's the last option even there? Let's go for the skill books. I'll make a weapon when I get into the world but getting skills is gonna be harder.I reasoned. Two books appeared in my inventory with my iPhone 6.
"I'll use those once I'm in the world." I thought.
"Can we wrap this up now?" I called out.
[With pleasure. All you have to do is check your Quest section. It tells you all your missions, what you get for completing them and any other bits of related info.
"Ok then. Quests." I thought, choosing to test the thought commands. A new screen appeared, showing some more details on the quests.
[Current Quest(s)]
["The Gamers' guide for Noobs"]
[Main objective: Finish the tutorial]
[Reward: +1 level, 50 Lien]
[Secondary objective: Attempt to defy the system. (Don't do that.)-100 Lien, 5 Stat Points]
"Well, I've done all that. Now what?" I thought aloud.
[Well Done, You've beaten the Tutorial. It's time for you to enter a new world. See you later!]

That's the last thing I recall before blacking out

Thanks for taking time out of your day to read my brand new Gamer story, reader! I'd read a few of these before, namely The Verdant Gamer and RWBY: Godplayer, so I figured I'd give it a go. Tell me what you think!
Sincerely,
Lord Terronus
