Shit this is the fastest I've seen reviews pour in… then again I am writing a somewhat popular story type in a popular part of the site and not another crossover.

Lloyd: Uh… are you gonna talk with yourself or are you trying to build up to something?

PC: Huh? What are you- *Finally notices camera recording* OH SH- Ahem, Hello everyone I am- Ah fuck it I've already screwed the opening up.

Anyway, for you readers to understand that chapters will not be coming out as frequently as this one did, mainly because I'm going to have to create a metric shit ton of content that fills in the gap between episodes.

Enjoy the chapter people


*I'm in Remnant.*

When I say I 'Blacked out' it was more I just blinked…

And found myself draped across a tree branch like I was a towel.

"Come on couldn't you put me on the ground or something?" I muttered to myself as I readjusted myself so that while I was still in the tree I was leaning against the trunk.

"Okay I have two options here, stay in the tree and familiarize myself with my Gamer ability, or jump out of the tree and yolo my way to civilization. I think I'll take a moment to familiarize myself with this, I should be safe from anything that might attack me up here… unless it's a fucking bird." I said to myself.

[By choosing to stay in a safe location and study what you can do your WIS has increased by 1]

"Thank you I don't care." I said throwing the screen to the left with my left hand, "Menu, Status"

[Wes Verdant]

[Luck: 6]

[Stat Points: 5]

[Exp: 50/200]

[Money: 0 ?]

[Condition: Normal]

"Okay can I get my Exp and Condition moved closer to my level, this i just annoying right now?"

I muttered, I put my finger on 'Exp' and tested a hunch, I dragged Exp to just below level and then did the same with condition.

"YES! I can drag and drop!" I cheered.

[By experimenting with your status screen you've increased your INT by 1]

"Fuck off… And since I leveled I'm going to put 1 point into Luck now, I'm not going to focus on that stat but it is nice to have chance not completely against me." I said putting the point into the stat. After that I tapped on my name and a new screen opened up.

[Wes Verdant]

[Age: 17]

[Race: Human, Caucasian]

[Gender: Male]

[Blood type: AB]

[Family: Mother- Samantha Verdant, Father- Sampson Verdant, Sister- Vie Verdant]

It even had a portrait of me.

I had pale blue eyes, mid length black hair parted slightly on the left going right, I also had a black long sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and finally a pair of brown hiking boots on.

"Yeah… I need a new outfit." I said, new world new outfit after all.

"Return." I said returning to my status screen, then I tapped on 'titles'

[Titles]

[Title bestow bonuses to certain attributes based on which you have equipped.]

[Current title: The Gamer- No Bonus]

[Available Unlocked Titles]

[The Gamer- No Bonus]

[Available Locked titles]

[Nutcracker -(Effect Locked)- Hit 25 different enemies in the crotch]

"Okay, I'm so gonna get that Title, at least I'll have a bonus effect, too bad I can't see the effect now, I'll probably get more hints to unlock titles as I progress." I said smirking, Nutcracker, where did that even come from?

"Menu." I said and stared at the screen for a moment, "Anything else I want to check on?" I asked myself, that's when I noticed something.

[Status]

[Skills]

[Inventory]

[Quests]

[Options]

"Huh, Options are new." I said, 'Options'

[Options]

[Volume]

[BGM]

Help

"Hah, I mute mute out annoying and boring lectures, though that'd probably be a bad idea, BGM." I said

[BGM]

[Soundtrack empty]

"I think I'll leave that part empty for now, I want to know what I may have to face before I add fitting music." I said, "Close." I added afterwards, closing all screens.

"Welp, time to find civilization." I said about to jump out of the tree.

[New Quest added]

[[Lost]]

[- You've woken up in a forest with no idea where you are and equipped with only a pair of Kukri.]

[Mission: Find Civilization]

[Reward: 300 exp, 300 local currency]

[Bonus: Defeat an attacking enemy- +200 local currency.]

'Well… it's a start.' I thought jumping out of the tree and landing on my feet

[Your show of agility for landing on your feet has increased your DEX by 1]

'Woohoo!' I thought in cheer before picking a random direction and began jogging

[]

[You constant Jog has increased your VIT by 1]

'My Vitality went up from that? I was expecting my Strength to go up.' I thought as a stopped in the forest to take a figurative breather, 'Well I wasn't really growing my leg muscles that much at the speed I was jogging, but I did jog for a long time so that must contribute to my endurance.' I thought.

Then I snapped my fingers, "That's it, Strength will increase when I try to grow my muscles while simply perform an exercise for an extended period of time." I said in realization.

[Your understanding of Stat growth has increased your INT by 1]

'Get out of here.' I thought throwing the screen aside, that's when a chill went down my spine.

[A new Skill has been Developed]

[Detect Bloodlust (Passive)]

"Oh shit." I said pulling out both my Kukri and looking around, that's when I heard a growl from behind me.

So naturally I spun around and stared down my opponent.

It was a Beowolf, I repeat, A fucking Beowolf from RWBY.

"Well I know where I am now, Observe" I said to myself as the Grimm sized me up.

[Stray Beowolf- Lvl 5]

[HP 100/100 AP 0/0 MP 0/0]

'Stray, that means it's alone, granted it's three levels high than mine, but that means nothing to me right now' I said holding my Kukri forward instead of backhanded.

The Beowolf lunged at me with it's arms overhead to slam down on me, fortunately I stepped back to avoid the strike and then quickly stabbed it in the side, dealing apparently 20 damage

'This could go fast or slow, depends on how this Beowolf acts.

The Beowolf stood up holding it's injury and roared right in my face, big mistake.

Because I have a Title to unlock.

I kicked my leg up and my foot found the Beowolf's crotch, dealing 10 damage, causing it to yelp and fall over, and leaving it with the 'stunned' effect.

I went around behind the Grimm and stabbed a Kukri into it's back and pulled back, lifting the Beowolf up before kicking it back down, tearing my Kukri free. That dealt 100 damage!?

[You have created a New Skill]

[Backstab (Active)]

'Check that out later' I thought.

The Beowolf shakily got back up and before I could let it recover I swung on of my Kukri as hard as I could towards it's head, cutting it clean off.

The Beowolf's body stood there for a minute after the head fell off before it fell over.

[You've gained a Level]

[New Skills have been created]

[Blade Proficiency]

[Dual Wield Proficiency]

I stared at the Beowolf' dissolving body for a moment before looking at my Kukri, "Damn that effective." I said looking at the Beowolf once laid, and saw a small card.

"Observe." I said picking up the card

[50 Lien Card]

[Lein in the currency of Remnant, they tend to appear most commonly in electronic card form. This card happens to contain 50 Lien]

[Your Observe Skill has Leveled up]

"Well that's convenient." I said putting the card in my inventory, increasing the money I had to 50, then I pulled up my status screen and put in my point of luck, then I noticed something new

[Wes Verdant]

[Condition: Normal]

[Level: 3]

[Exp: 35/300]

[HP: 127/127]

[HPR: 1.3/min]

[AP 0/0]

[APR 0/min]

[MP: 110/110]

[MPR: 1.25/min]

[Str: 6]

[Vit: 7]

[Dex: 8]

[Int: 8]

[Wis: 10]

[Luck: 8]

[Stat Points: 8]

[Lien: 50]

"I have an Aura Point meter now." I said before closing all screens with a flick of my hand and continued on my path.

[]

[Quest complete [Lost]]

[You have reached the city of Vale]

[Rewards +300 Exp, +300 Lien]

[Bonus Objective complete, +200 Lien]

[You've gained a level]

'Thank you time to put in that Luck point.' I thought doing so.

'Okay I need to upgrade my weapons, I need to get Skill books to add some variety to my movesets, and I need new clothes.' I thought

[A new Quest has been added]

[[Getting set up]]

[You've reached Vale, now it's time to upgrade yourself from what you've got right now.]

[Main objectives]

[Upgrade and name your Kukri]

[Create a Primary Weapon]

[Buy 5 Skill books- 0/5]

[Buy some new Clothes]

[Reward: +400 Exp +1 Skillbook]

'Another Level and a Bonus Skill book, nice.' I thought

After a minute of standing around like an idiot I sat down at a bench and pulled out my Kukri, with their sheaths on, and stared at them trying to figure out how to make them into a melee/gun weapon worthy of RWBY.

'What to do, what to do…' I thought looking at the Kukri.

It'll have to be small seeing as knive don't hold much space within them, so single handed, narrowing it down to Pistols or SMG's.

'Eh, let's keep it simple, a pair of semi-automatic Kukri Pistols… I really need to name these.' I thought getting up and started to walk in a random direction hoing to find some kind of blacksmith's.

'Kukri are nice, and while will also be pistols soon I'm left with very limited melee range, so I need a melee weapon with a fair range…' I thought.

That's when I remembered something I loved to pull in any game I play, Deception.

'I think I'll have a weapon that can easily trick people into thinking otherwise… A Snake Sword! A sword that gives the appearance of a short weapon but can extend into a very long whip-like weapon, granted it's hard to learn how to use a whip… but dad did kinda teach me how, freakin' lion tamer.' I thought.

I was honestly expecting a pop-up saying my WIS increased, 'I guess my Wisdom is getting harder to increase already, mainly because the stat's getting moderately higher.' I thought.

[Your understanding of the stat leveling system has increased you WIS by 1]

'Dammit.' I thought.

[]

I did eventually find a blacksmith, and I did explain to him that I'd like to upgrade my Kukri and create a Snakesword, he allowed it so long as I helped him create them

My new Kukri now have a thicker guard that folds the blade back to allow me to use the weapons as guns, other than that they looked the same. I re-named the blades the Luna and Sol, seeing as we had to remake the blades to be more durable, one turned light blue because of the metal while the other became light orange.

My Snakesword, in it's standard form, had a somewhat segmented looking blade that measured three feet long with each segment being three inches long, resulting in twelve segments that are shaped like arrows, it's hilt is green and mechanical looking and has a rectangular guard starting at the blade's guard and finishing at the very end of the hilt, protecting my fingers.

However it can't be a Snakesword if it can't extend like a whip, with a twitch of a trigger the blade segments connected by a wire, becoming a seven foot long whip of blades. I named it Serpent Fang, sorry but Gamer abilities don't come with creative naming powers

[You have gained a new Skill]

[Metalworking]

'That's nice, I can work more on that later with help from Ruby' I thought before looking at the Bear Faunus Blacksmith.

"Is there somewhere I can practice using these?" I asked.

[]

After spending a few minutes in the back of the Blacksmiths I had received two new skills, Whip Proficiency and Gunslinging, a couple of basic 'How good are you with this weapon?' skills.

"Okay that's weapons check, now what else do I need, right, Skill books and Clothes." I said to myself as I wandered through the street's.

I only stopped because Someone opened a door and hit me in the face.

[A new Skill has been developed]

[Physical Endurance]

'I was wondering where that damn thing was.' I thought stumbling back as a very familiar woman walked out of the building.

"You alright?" Blake Belladonna asked.

"I'm fine, just need to keep my eye's open more." I said, 'Observe' I thought.

[Blake Belladonna]

[[Hidden Faunus] Lvl 18]

[HP 700/700 AP 180/180 MP 160/160]

'Just had to do that. And Fuck that's high.' I thought as Blake walked away.

I just then remembered I had a Skill I needed to check, 'Menu, Skills, Backstab' I thought

[Backstab (Active) cost- 10 MP]

[An attack aimed for the opponent's spine to deal heavy damage, but can be easily avoided if the enemy is aware of your tactic, deals extra damage if the target is unable to move.]

'Holy shit, no wonder that did so much damage to the Beowolf.' I thought surprised. Nutshot + Backstab = Extreme damage.

'Now I really want the Nutcracker title.' I thought evilly. I looked at the building BLake just left from and saw it was Tucson's Book Trade, 'Convenience for the win!'

[]

"Welcome to Tucson's Book Trade, home to every book under the sun. How can I help you?" Tucson asked.

"Just browsing." I said, I wasn't lying.

'Okay let's see…' I said browsing books, unitl I found one I really needed

'Basics of Aura' I grabbed that book.

[This Skill Book Teaches the ability 'Aura']

[Would you like to use this Skill book?]

'No.' I thought as I continued to browse books.

'Aha, these will be useful.' I thought taking book's titled, 'Manipulation of Fire Dust' 'Manipulation of Ice Dust', 'Manipulation of Wind Dust', and 'Manipulation of Earth Dust'

Tucson didn't really ask any questions as I paid for the books and left.

I learned the Abilities Aura (Which gave me a fair 40 AP with an APR of 1/min) Fireball, Earth Spike, Gust, and Freeze (The later four all have a MP cost of 20 unless I use Dust, which halves the cost of it all.)

"Okay I have Aura, a standard variety of Spells and 12 stat points… I should take a moment to doll a few out." I said to myself opening my status menu

'I'm pretty sure leveling up is boosting my HP and MP standard because I don't understand that at all.' I thought to myself as I entered the clothing store next door.

[]

I have no idea how long I spent in there but I did make a few purchases I liked, mainly the White long sleeved shirt I now had under a forest green trench coat, and seeing as this clothing store also doubled in selling armor I bought some metal shin guards to go on my jeans.

I also bought a second, identical outfit that I slid into my inventory when no one was looking.

[Quest Complete]

[[Getting Set up]]

[Reward: +400 Exp +Skill Book-Summon Undine]

'I'll take a look at those later, just going to add my Luck point now' I thought looking over at a convenience store, 'Food always makes fair healing supplies' I thought with a shrug and walked in.

While I was picking up a few granola bars I saw a tub of corn starch and a stack of newspaper, things that my brain instantly recognised as Mask making supplies.

'Dust infused with clothes give the wearer unique abilities, or sometimes an excuse as to how they can use powers they don't normally have. Masks plus Dust equals… an unpredictability advantage!' I thought grabbing the tub and a few newspaper.

[Your understanding of the effects of Dust infusion has increased your INT by 1]

'GO AWAY!'

[]

"And I'm back down to 50 Lien... " I deadpanned staring at my Status, more specifically my money.

"Maybe I can buy some Dust, or maybe a Magazine that boost's my skill in something." I said to myself as I walked toward a specific shop while the sun was going down.

From Dust 'Till Dawn


Okay people I think I'm going to stop there, now like I said before these chapters will not pop up every single day, a little over a week at most is how long these will take.

Lloyd: Also if anybody want's to complain on how the Stats don't seem to ever make sense, be honest with us, how many readers out there fully understand stat growth in video games, because for most of it stat growth is completely random in our eyes, sure you can tell a mage is going to get more points in magic based abilities and similar things but otherwise most people can't very well figure this kind of stuff out.

PC: Now as you can see Wes is going to use Dust Masks in this story for various effects, some offer stat boosts, others offer abilities when equipped, he won't use some of them too often, but when he doe he will be dangerous, especially with a few.

Now as to why Wes put's a stat point into Luck every level, it's because I do something similar.

You see in RPG's where I get multiple points to boost my stats I add a point to Luck as often as possible because Luck is the one factor in games I CAN'T stand, it's the one factor that ALWAYS causes me to die, especially in Pokemon games (I can't tell you how many times I lost to Champions in that series because they got a lucky critical hit in at the one moment they need to pull through)

Marie: Well, goodbye everyone, we'll see you… sometime… soon? I hope.
