I do not own RWBY or The Gamer as both are property of their respective owners Roosterteeth and Sung San-Young.
I also do not own Mabinogi either, it's owned by Nexon and devCAT Studio.
Naruto is owned by Masashi Kishimoto.
For people confused about the location... then they're in something very similar to the Mabinogi Soul Stream.
They are at location because the OC introduced last chapter was mostly 'born' from various parts of
someplace similar to that game as a core...
As for most of the other questions they are mostly answered by either:
"Where do you find NPC characters from for The Gamer ability to use in the real world?"
or
"What does it mean to be The Gamer?"
The answer to the first question is: "A great deal of partial recycling from places with a similar system to the RWBY
world takes place." The characters are different enough from the original to claim that they're odd OC
rather than AU of the characters they are based on. And I can give them names befitting
of the fact that they were created by a multi-genre game combiner skill
It's why interaction on both sides of the equation was so... odd.
The answer to the second question is directly related to that:
Mabinogi runs on Keyword based conversation. He never talked about the subject directly,
So he kept getting default greeter responses in return.- The Gamer helped translate
from another game world's style to his own.
Remember, Jaune first thought he was the protagonist...
Or in other words, that he was the RPG Designated Hero who was just given The Call.
It is why he wondered about common RPG exploits rather than video game exploits as a whole.
RPG tutorials are free experience for doing things that you would probably do anyway.
If he was in an RPG since The Call Knows Where You Live,
it was his family that was in danger in the early game rather than him.
Which is why he was able to be only worried at the tutorial area looking like a arena rather than outright afraid.
He wondered about NG+ because MMORPG games tend not to have that feature,
and in MMORPG games it's more dangerous to be the character than the characters family.
Either way he needed to get stronger, but an MMORPG style protagonist generally didn't have to advance the storyline,
while an RPG style protagonist generally did have to eventually advance the storyline.
He then went on to do what RPG MC characters do during a tutorial.
See the limits of what you can do, and what you can get.
So when the greeter NPC wasn't responding to him, he tried one of the time honored methods of making them respond.
Get angry and press all the buttons. At which point he activated his power.
And took a Dating Sim type option;
hence her response afterwards ending up more confused than anything else, since that's how Dating Sim logic works
As his power took her true NPC status, as someone created for the tutorial by his power...
it tried to push her from her original game type, an MMORPG, to a Dating Sim.
Hence her responding first with 'flags' and then correcting herself with 'closeness' the actual system that The Gamer
uses.
Then she realized that neither was the point and tried to bring it back to her 'The Guide'
duties while ignoring what happened; which is what NPC's in MMORPG games in general do.
Jaune then acted like an RPG MC that may be about to land an Early Game Bad End when he saw her level.
But, since he couldn't think of a way to fight someone so many levels beyond him in an empty plane;
one that lacked even a handy Insurmountable Waist-Height Fence to exploit like mad...
He immediately attempted to resolve the conflict with conversation.
And since she was probably the one going to make him do The Call as 'The Guide',
he reassured her that he had no intention of refusing The Call.
That in fact his family had spent the last as long as the family could boast time being Heroes.
And that he was even the heir to that family and that he would help her.
The correct responses to make when the RPG quest giver can kill you or decide to give you another chance.
And added to that is how gamers shamelessly try to increase their reputation with the other side by boasting as much as possible,
while complimenting their opponents as much as they can. In RPG games it can give you better rewards.
And since Jaune has no intention of going far off into the extremely dangerous main story that he sees in his delusions...
every little bit of extra experience is worth it. Same as how in The Gamer the MC keeps stressing safety...
except done with Jaunes background instead.
Even more funny: He thinks that he is in a 1-99 RPG or a 1 to maybe 50 or 60 MMORPG.
But that is not the system he is in at all. Level has more to do with experience than it does with strength in The Gamer system.
And he just did more Dating Sim type activities. Including making her faint. He even got a title for it.
And since he is The Gamer rather than
The RPG Gamer,
The Dating Sim Gamer,
The Racing Game Gamer,
Or The Mystery Game Gamer,
It has consequences for him.
The poor Wrong Genre Savvy little boy.
Version 1: Had a third character 15 Levels higher so a certain someone was 20 Levels higher, had him survive by inheriting
some levels of his family martial arts and create a skill, but also made his first enemy, while leaving the plotline of the other NPC unresolved
and annoyed about her line being unresolved.
But seeing all the reviews that expressed confusion, I figured that I should tone down on the expansion of concepts.
Hopefully this version makes more sense; especially taking into account that the previous chapter
and this chapter were supposed to be 1 chapter.
I just ended up spending too long studying for tests on Sunday to finish the chapter on time.
And most of today I was busy actually taking the tests or getting ready for tomorrow.

Jaune Arc: The Accidental Hero
Chapter 2 Part 2
The Hero Is Then Beaten By A Food Item!
XXX
On a pure white platform void of all life.
An empty silent realm of nothing but whiteness extended out in all directions.
Two people exist.
One is a rather confused looking blonde boy named Jaune in a blue onesie.
The other is a currently unconscious white haired girl named Now in a black dress.
What do I do? wonders the boy frantically
She didn't look that unfriendly by the end of that.
I must have avoided that Bad End.
I also got pings; maybe I gained a Level?
And since she's most likely MY guide anyway; I probably won't have to fight her again.
I may have just been jumping to conclusions since this place looked like a battle arena.
Ah well... I'll bake her some cookies or something.
But first I should look at my oldest missed updates…

Closeness with Now Eiriota Prier 'dRias has decreased by 5 due to your threats.

"Hmm... why is the spacing changing?" I wonder vaguely.
Maybe it's special for 'inheritance' skills only?
...
But then again my inactive skill didn't have these lines... so what is it?
And I guess that answers my question on her being my Guide...
she started at too high a level of Friendly to not be predisposed to help me out.
..
.Anyway... did I actually use MP yet or not? In which case... does she count as a small animal or something?
..
.
...and moving on.

"What." I stare at the screen blankly with suddenly empty eyes.
"Wait a second..." I start as my eyes begin to sharpen.
Obviously under videogame logic the Heroes strength grows a lot faster than it would normally, and now I've
confirmed that defeating foes will give me experience...
But now I can't tell if I actually used Aura or not since leveling up could have replenished it for all I know…
Some game systems just restore HP/MP proportionate to the increase in those stats... while others do a full
restore… Which does this game system follow I wonder?
…
..
.
Still those 5 'pings' just now were most likely my level increasing. Along with something else?
But how did my stats increase by such weird numbers?
"I guess I should just look at my messages quickly then..?" I continue after the pause while still standing in the same
area as the nearly forgotten unconscious girl.
...

You've received the title 'Apprentice Lady-killer'
(Apprentice Lady-killer)
-Obtained by making a girl faint while under the 'small child' debuff.
-You have a special talent and interest in being a Dating Sim MC!
-Become a Lady-killer and feed that Harem!
5% attack/defense bonuses versus female opponents
10% additional attack/defense bonuses versus female opponents in social combat
+5 to all stats when fighting against women
Increased reputation gain with women by 10%
Decreased reputation gain with men by 20%
Increased sexual drive by 50%
Increased stamina by 20% when affected by increased sexual drive
Increased encounters with Grimm by 10%
Yeah... So now the game will reward me for bullying small girls from now on.
The old 'I can kill your family but then give you 40 stolen cakes and you'll still like me gig?'
Not something I want to do when I have sisters of my own...
But...it's free stats and I shouldn't be affected by sexual drive yet anyway.
Still I probably should never equip this title after I hit puberty.
After equipping the title I looked at the rest of the messages...
The second most important message was so simple that I almost missed it.
Due to your habit of making intelligent decisions, you gained 1 WIS.
Gaining a stat.
It means that with training I can grind my statistics upwards without using level ups.
This is like that games skill books... Save the points until you get to the later harder points and grind, grind, grind
instead. Luckily I didn't gain any levels previously; I would have already spent my points on getting
my DEX up high enough to run away, or dodge attacks when possible.
Don't get into a fight you can't win.
If you can't avoid that fight then dodge.
If you can't dodge then deflect.
If you can't deflect then block.
If you can't block then survive.
I never understood why Grandpa Juane said that until today...
My family practically specializes in being walking tanks or berserkers...
I bet the STR and VIT of my father is at least 3 digits!
But my family has almost zero dodging skills,
So when they meet something far stronger than them,
They just end up dead.
So I can still gain massive amounts of DEX and make him proud.
I also had an accompanying long explanation about how I was under the 'Small Child' persistent debuff,
which lowers all of my stats compared to what they should be.
So I really did gain 1 point in my physicals from the benefits of 'maturing earlier than expected for a child your age'
which also gave me some bonus experience for the accomplishment.
I may even get an early growth spurt if this continues-maybe I can still catch up to Lily and Arthuria...
Other than that, two of the remaining three messages were for level ups as expected.
But it was the last message that worried me the most.
Closeness with Now Eiriota Prier 'dRias has increased by 20 due to your flirting.
Currently at 105/100 Friendly.
Due to having increased because of continuous flirting, will upgrade to 5/500 Crush
rather than 5/500 Good Friend after the end of the Tutorial
So it's a counter measure against someone exploiting reputation gains through the Lady-killer line of titles...
You can't just flirt with everyone to increase how much they like you to get better deals...So even if I wanted to be a jerk,
I would get no benefit from that title from before anyway... Since I honestly can't tell from the way that the message is worded...
Whether or not it would have switched me to gaining 'Crush' status due to having gotten her over 100 friendly
from flirting or, having just flirted too many times with her.
Another message explained the limits of being in the tutorial.
No special attack skills until I reach that part of the tutorial.
No equipment other than my 'starting clothing' either.
Guess I wouldn't have been able to use my 'toy' baseball bat anyway.
Yeah... a smaller version of a real solid wood bat enhanced with Aura to be strong as steel by my father,
one of the top 10 strongest Hunters on the planet is a obviously a 'toy'.
And does this mean that my onesie along with my school uniform are starting clothing's?
...
..
Hmmm should I try it?
...
"Inventory"
...
..
.
"Looks like I really can take off my starting clothing and have nothing here instead."
Good to know.
Now I can camp this area for experience points even after my Onesie runs out of durability
I'm going to safely get every last experience point here that I can!
.
*ping*
After detecting overwhelming amount of blood thirst, you unlocked the skill "Detect Blood thirst"
Detect Blood thirst (Passive) Lv1: EXP 0.00%
A skill that detects any blood thirst directed towards the user.
It is an instinctive skill.
Detects Bloodlust within 30 meters of the user's location
It also alerts the user of it's origin.
Terror.
A complete lack of feeling in my body to move my legs…
A complete lack of thought to escape.
A complete lack of-
Then it lessens enough that I can
turn around and see
Dear Mom, your only son may not live to see tomorrow. Hope your doing well, Jaune.
Images of my final words speed through my mind
As I'm now in the presence of:
..
.
(Combat Teacher)
Lv 17 Dango Hachimitsu
..
.
Someone 13 levels higher than me; they may be as strong as a real Hunter!
Oh crap! O-
Then as I suddenly calm down out of nowhere…
I look at her again and suddenly feel a lot less weight…
"Why are you naked Ms. Hachimitsu?" I ask the obvious question.
"Why should I answer you pervert?" Spits out the teenaged girl who is as naked as the day she was born.
*ping*
*ping*
The pings reminds me of the situation that I'm in and…
"Now I know this looks bad Ms. Hachimitsu." I start. Really really bad in fact.
"But I promise you that you're mistaken about something here." I say while putting back on my starter clothing.
But she cuts me off moving so fast to Now's side that I barely see a thing.
Monty's Blood, Oum's Beard, Dust's Cradle, ****, ***, **, *-!
As I swear every single bad word I've ever heard in my head...
"No." the demon-it must be a real demon! whispers.
*ping*
"I'm going to cut it off." continues the monster radiating bloodlust.
*ping*
This is really going to suck
A handsome boy with messy blond hair and sea-blue eyes looks at me.
Despite being younger than me I can feel that he has a few muscles already through the adorable little pajamas that
he's wearing.
It didn't start this way... no rather when I first appeared he got angry…
Really angry…
Why was he so scary?
But he made up with me and he-
"Kyah!" a sound unintentionally leaks from my traitorous mouth.
I can't even think about what he did right now.
No no no no no! I can't think of him like that! I'm just here as a guide so he wouldn't want me anyway.
Then I suddenly remember what else he said in a rush.
'it's not like you could choose what physical features you would be born with.'
'you could choose what physical features you would be born with.'
'you choose what physical features you would be born with.'
'you choose physical features to be born with.'
I just wanted to be have bigger breasts.
As Mari I had no development at all.
As Eiry I was just a tiny little fairy so what little development I had was obscured by how I was like 20 centimeters tall.
So while I was being reborn... I just decided to make them bigger,
and since Ranald was so cool I wanted to be able to use weapons like that...
I didn't think that those two desires would split me into two parts!
Or that the separate experiences of both Nao and as Eiry would combine me into the form that was more liked.
Nao had gotten so used to her size that she didn't even notice how large she was!
It's just not fair…
I helped so many people as Eiry but... they all…
Then when I finally meet someone nice that doesn't just like my chest-or rather he even seems to dislike it!
I went and gave him such a horrible first impression of me.
Still I wonder where he is?
Since I'm still in this area... he should be here right?
"Uh... Hello? " I question. "Are you alright Master Arc?" I continue.
*bang* And then I hear a loud sound in the distance.
"Maybe I should go that way?" I pondered seriously.
And so I cheerfully took a stroll towards all the loud noises.
…
..
.
What I find 5 minutes later is amazing.
That boy from before is fighting.
Despite the fact that he hasn't gone over active combat skills yet-I should know since I'm the one who has to tell him
about those skills before turning him over to Dango... with him being unable to have a single attack skill...
At and most he should only have masteries!
Yet he is fighting Dango.
Someone who by the very nature of how the tutorial makes us 10 and 15 levels higher than him, someone who should be
complet-far weaker than me; and as for Dango?
She should be able to crush him in a single blow.
In fact, he is bleeding and wounded, so he obviously took blows too far above his level and so took real damage
beyond what even his current Gamer's Body could handle.
Especially since the tutorial can only be activated within two days of activating The Gamer power.
So he shouldn't have had the time to gain many skill level ups or increase his stats much if at all.
Yet he's able to fight a fully equip-
No... wait?
"Umm... I am sorry to interrupt your spar but," I start out slowly.
"Dango, why you are naked?" I finish off in slight confusion.
…
..
.
"Still haven't gotten to that portion of the tutorial and all that." Shrugs Dango.
"Anyway, I'll be with you after I kill the perverted little imp." says Dango sounding completely serious.
"N-no! Tha-It was just a misunderstanding." I try to placate Dango
He's only a kid anyway. He probably was just being nice when he said that either way.
"He was trying to do stuff with you!" Shouts Dango while pointing an accusing finger at the boy.
"Stuff?" I tilt my head at her.
"Stuff is stuff is stuff!" She explains at me again.
"Um... If it's alright with you, then I would be more than happy to explain while Ms. Hachimitsu is unable to." a calm
and polite voice steps in.
"Ah... that would be find Mas-Mr. Arc." I smiled at politely at him.
Bad Now; we haven't gone over weapons yet so I've yet to make a contract to be able to call myself his weapon so I
shouldn't call him Master Arc yet.
"Hmm? You don't need to call me Mr. Arc. Please just call me Jaune." reassures M-Jaune with a sunny smile.
...
..
.
"You remember my story about how I am the proud heir of a family extraordinary Heroes correct?" Starts Jaune
"I do..?" I say. I just didn't like thinking about it; he made that embarrassing oath to me while reveal-saying that.
"Yes well what happened here was simple." He started out.
"When I first arrived here I noticed this place looked similar to a battle arena. So after you fainted... I just wondered
what type of arena foe I would classify you under." He explained.
"Since you are so cute, I decided it must have been a small animal." He-ahh.. but that?
"I then thought that it may have been inappropriate, you were 10 levels higher than I am after all." He continued
saying it so naturally.
10 levels means nothing to him...
"So then I saw a silly image in my head the future me as a Hero. Having vanquished some terrifying beast."
even after fighting her he is still…
"And having ended up fighting past the point where all my armor broke. Something which is quite normal in my family.
And so I took off my armor to get the feel of things and... well Ms. Hachimitsu thought I was going to molest you... And so she naturally... THIS."
He explains as if it's completely normal for this to have happened while shrugging his shoulders.
"Ah.. still I am sorry to have caused more trouble for you." Regardless of how little effect it had on him.. to have to
fight Dango is a bit…
"It's not a problem at all. I gained a lot of levels today so I should actually be thanking you." He notes while smiling
at me in that almost Holy fashion he did previously…
He really reminds me of THAT man when he does that.
"Levels?" I question.
"Ah, well because you fainted or rather since I made you faint... it somehow counted as combat so..." He starts to
explain looking a bit sheepish.
"So you gained levels from defeating me in combat then?" I ask rather calmly if I do say myself.
I'm so pathetic... I fainted for no reason and did so badly that I gave him experience.
"Yes. That is the case." He nods his head at me in agreement.
…
..Oh no we're falling into a bad silence... Maybe I should compliment his fight?
"But even so it is truly amazing that you were able to match Dango on the field of battle. She should still be over 10
levels higher than you regardless of the experience you got against me right?" I try to explain to him how big a feat
what he did was.
"Ah.. I think it was 13 levels; I was level 4 afterword's you see." He says naturally.
"Also I believe that because I 'took down' such a higher ranked foe, I ended up gaining a title that gives me increased
attack and defense against female opponents by 5%, as well as +5 to all stats when fighting against women. So
that's like 6 extra levels of bonus stats, combined with an extra 1 from the 5%? So it really was only 2
levels difference." He says it swiftly and calmly like it really is just that simple.
"B-but... you should not have any high level masteries yet. Or any active combat skills. Or anything really!" I once
more try to bring us back to how amazing it is for him to have done that.
"Hmm... was it something like 'Basic Arc Martial Art Technique: The Shield?" Jaune suddenly interjects.
"Huh? I suppose so?" I say while slightly taken back.
"Ah.. then I think I may know what happened." he starts.
'Mastery of the skill Basic Arc Martial Art Technique: The Shield upgrades based on previous experience in
the ability.' he continues.
Wait...
"Was one of the messages that I received, same with Intimidate and Killing Intent-two very important abilities to
keep my sisters from running wild completely, even the ones who are completely beyond me in battle sense," he says
while shrugging
That's….
"And learning martial arts was a good way to protect my sisters in the present, and helped build a foundation so I
would be able to help them out in the future." While saying something that should be impossible.
"Umm... I do not know how to say this but... youshouldn'tbeinheritinganyskillever!" I get it out as fast as I can to try
to avoid sounding like I doubt him.
…
..
.
"Well. I did." He says as if this complete defiance of how The Gamer works is normal for him.
"That's impossible." Dango who had been quiet so far started,
"That is completely impossible. The tutorial only works for a Gamer who has had the skill for less than two days. The
only way for you to have gotten a skill up is for you to have read a skill book and have trained it from level 1 in this
time." Decisively Dango in a cold and angry voice.
"Not for me it isn't." Jaune says to Dango seriously.
"I'm the only heir of an over 3 millennium year old family that has produced countless Heroes, from the start of the
family all the way to it's end." Jaune who somehow calmly proclaims something else strange as fact.
"And let me let you in on a little secret, something that I and many other Arc's have come to the conclusion of." He
says as he slowly starts walking up to Dango.
"The Arc family will live forever." He calmly states.
"I rather be first in a village than second in the city. Glory is it's own reward. To learn a second language is to
gain a second soul." He speaks as if in a trance.
"To name just a few of the quotes that my family has once said." He smiles in a slightly sheepish manner.
"But my favorite is my namesakes words." he says with brightening eyes.
"Whether in forest dark or bright lit field, I stand by my families oath to fight, even with my dying breath I deny all
those who worship evil's might, I will not falter from the light!" He says as his eyes begin to glow.
"Who are you to say what I can and cannot do? I've been on the losing side of a conflict far more times than you
have on the winning side. Challenge me again and I'll show you how an Arc fights and dies." And then his Aura glows
bright white, and suddenly all of his wounds start to heal.
"I'll see you two later." Jaune says calmly as he turns his back to Dango as his wounds continue to heal.
"Right now I don't think I should be here." Just as his wounds finish healing…
"So I'll be back in a week once we all had a chance to cool off." And with that he just disappears
It seems he figured out he had to unclick the tutorial button to get out of here..
Soon we'll disappear from this place as well.
But before that I have to convince Dango to at least give him credit for learning all the essentials of combat
.
I don't want them to fight when they see each other again.
"Dango I-"
I had on my Onesie, something my mother insisted I had for warmth.
It was made from cotton canvas, the toughest non-dust reinforced fabric known to man; it is
waterproof, friction resistant, and slightly repels all weak attacks with it's amazing anti-snag power! In addition to
that, it was reinforced through Aura use by my father, making it good enough to repel minor bullets...
As a special option it even has some flame resistance!
It probably would be good enough equipment to actually hunt in; probably the point my father was trying to make.
'Always be ready, don't even take a bath if you're uncertain, a real man can do anything he puts his mind to Jaune;
remember that.' or some other bull that didn't save the rest of our family.
It's even in our legendary history-
'sixty seven times great grandson' means that it's only been around 70 generations total since my family has been
around. Even taking 3000 rather than over 3000... 3000 divided by 70 is... ummm 4 times 7 is 28.. but 5 times 7 is
already 35 so somewhere a bit over 40!
Sound like a lot?
three fourths of my direct ancestors weren't high class Heroes, and at many points the family was
in hiding in complete safety! More like the majority of the fighters of the family died in their teens to early 20's
By that measure I'm already half dead!
And if I live to 60, I'll have beaten like 90% of the family throughout history.
Still even with that absurd equipment...
Even though she was naked...
That was close.
That was really close.
That was you-only-had-4-HP-left close.
I bet even fighting someone 5 levels higher than me will be frightening for a while...
Still I know what to do…
"Grind. Grind and grind some more huh?" I smile briefly before grimacing as I remember something unpleasant.
In order to survive that fight... I had to spend all 10 of my points wisely.
The Shield martial arts sub-style exponentially toughens one up.
It is a style meant to allow someone gain and then enhance incredible endurance;
enough to take on entire armies of weaker foes.
A master of the style will gain the invincible body of Heracles,
the only man who ever fought the God of all Grimm in one on one combat and survived.
…
..
.
Legends at their finest huh?
If he was so strong... the master of not just all of the Arc styles;
but rather the originator of the style that all of the Arc styles were supposed to have been created as weakened remnants of…
Well I suppose it's the same like the world being a mere remnant as itself…
The original style was probably really great, but converted into video game terms it would probably need like 500 base points in every single statistic to
use or something equally stupid.
..
.
Still I'm getting off track: Had I been able to put all 10 of my points into VIT alone, I would have been able to grind my other skills normally…
But I wasn't for one reason and one reason alone.
Without a substantial boost to my strength….
I just plain wouldn't have been able to do any damage even to her naked body.
Her base defense was nearly as high as my defense with proper equipment would be.
So I put in 4 points into STR, 2 into DEX, and 4 into VIT…
And even then... only careful observation saved me.
Her hands twitched as if she wanted to reach towards equipment that she didn't have,
and she made seals as if she were going to summon something;
so it was pretty obvious that she fought using Dust and weaponry rather than Aura and martial arts.
Her martial arts technique was quick and seemed to be based on entrapment.. But she appeared to only be so-so in it.
She probably relied on her special skills to actually fight.
Or to put in another way...
Had I gotten to the point in the tutorial where she would have been my combat teacher as her title says... I would
have died in a single blow regardless of what I did to prepare beforehand. So had I actually killed that girl, and
presumably gotten the pass to go to the next teacher... I would have died; Impossible Second Fight Bad End most likely.
Still it's fine.
I know her type. Since she's an assassin, as long as she doesn't KNOW she can beat me...
I should be alright, especially since she seems a bit on the stupid side.
The truly dangerous one is Now.
She has Dango wrapped up around her finger and controls her so casually.
She kept trying to steer the conversation towards my combat skills.
I actually revealed quite a bit about the reasons I
was able to barely stay alive against Dango because she seemed so nice.
..
.
She is obviously a master manipulator.
And she kept trying to call me a Masochist too!
But I'm on to your game now.
.
I will re-fight Dango in her naked form in a week.
I'll bring her to the brink of death, something I know I could do regardless of the skills interference in my life.
Then if she still tries to attack me...
We will see.
..
.
I will then retake the tutorial with Now.
And will keep watch on her intently.
I'll learn all of her skills...
And even though she'll still be 10 levels higher than me...
I'll be able to take her on directly even if she has equipment on her.
...
..
.
And as long as I keep a close eye on her during the tutorial…
I'll never need to see them again...
..
.
Even though... fighting the two of them was kind of fu-
"Fruit! I should go eat some fruit!" I shout forcefully as I stand up.
And just as I took a bite from the apple from the basket on the dining room table…
*ping*
"Geh.." And so I start to choke.
*ping*
"Khargh.." It's stuck.
*ping*
"Gah..." Running out of air
*ping*
*ping*
"..." And as I fade I can practically hear it...
...
..
.
"He he... I'm helping~"
The pings that sent Jaune into a sleep

Guess who was lucky enough to not make his first enemy,
but in exchange has no free grinding of the tutorial grounds,
as well as got a useless special item that won't help him in combat.
And who still doesn't know that he is NOT a RPG Protagonist, but rather has power over all games.
Who doesn't know why it is impossible for him to have inherited skills.
Who still has to find out that the beginner's training weapon that he misled into thinking he actually wants to be a Hero,
...is going to be with him until he stops being a beginner.
And since he put her in a low Level of 'Crush' she can optionally stay around (or be sad enough if you decline that her
all of her friends try to kill you).
And who is still banned from the Library for yelling out in the first chapter while studying...
And since he's keeping The Gamer a secret from his family... he'll have to find alternate means to get stronger now.
Plus while his Aura will keep him from actually dying now that he's unconscious,
He won't get a good nights sleep and so not know about the whole 'sleeping restore' effect.
All while having that -20% Rep. Gain from men, also having hidden effects on the starting Rep. of men.
Which is even more funny than the increase to bases effect on women, of which he has many very close to him to be
affected by.
Please tell me if something else is unclear.
While I'll have less time to write during mid-term week, I can at least read all of your concerns and try to explain more if necessary.
