Victory can prove bitter, especially when you're the only one alive to see it. With the world in chaos and everyone he ever loved dead, Jaune Arc makes a deal with the devil for one last chance to go back and change it all. But devils don't play by the same rules as humans, and Salem never did say how far back he'd go. Or how much deeper the war between her and Ozpin really went.

He didn't know the first thing about running a school, nor fixing a political disaster spanning all of Remnant. Hell, he didn't even know how to deal with the world-ending conspiracy in the background, let alone a former-headmaster-possessed child. Yet here he was, leading Beacon Academy into a new age of glory. Or ruin. Definitely a fair chance of the latter…

Story done with the permission of Coeur Al'Aran. Deciding to take a small break from reading Death March RWBY and JNPR browse the bookshelf to find something else to read. In their search, they find a book with a curious title.

Jaune had always dreamed of being a Hero, of being someone. But dreams were just that; for in the world of Remnant the Class you are born with determines your fate. Jaune was born a Blacksmith, and thus that was his destiny. But when a strange opportunity allows him to change that, can a simple Blacksmith become something more within the Beacon Academy for Heroes?

Kazuto Kirigaya is the Most Powerful Psychic in the world. Sadly, that's not helpful when all he wants is a normal, boring school life. Brocon sisters, childhood friends, transfer students, and teenage problems on top of it all... What's someone cursed to be the Main Character to do?

It's one thing to enter the world of heroes and villains, it's another thing entirely to find your way back out again. That's a bitter truth to swallow when you want no part of the life to begin with. A hasty decision from a young man with his back against the wall sends him down a path of which there is no return. OC main character.

The System awakes, and so does Jaune Arc. Of course, one is awakening from an eons long slumber and the other went to bed too late the night before and slept in far too long. The System adjusts to a methodology suitable for a teenage boy, and as such accidentally invokes the god-given right of living a video game. Jaune's in for a wild ride.

Getting thrown into a weird world and being turned into a devil. I can handle that. Being told that I am now a servant for the rest of my life? NOPE! I'll go my own way thank you very much

An Eroge-induced epiphany leads Hyoudou Issei down a path of hard work, excellence and extreme degrees of trauma suppression. Add to that a grumpy old dragon, an overpowered sacred gear, a frisky succubus and munchkin-worthy tactics that put the capital P in "Power Creep", and you've got yourself a nice mess. Oh, and there's also devils, and angels, and stuff. (Cover by Yutaku)

The world of Remnant is dominated by monsters in the woods and feudal kings ruling from palaces. Jaune Arc, the son of a lowly blacksmith, has been caught in the middle of this world. He yearns for the chance to become a knight, but his father forbids it. He only has one option left to him. Take his silver sword and carve a path through anybody who stands in his way.

Jaune Arc is a simple person, mainly wanting not to be eaten by Grimm when his father finally agrees to take him out on a patrol. That almost happens, and then he finds himself trapped in an ancient temple, unable to leave until 'Instructor' teaches him something he needs to get out of the mountain. Through that, he will find the Force. And the Force shall set him free.

"I never believed in fate. But, if this is why I'm here. I would do anything to keep it this way." Read as someone from our world is reincarnated in the world of anti-gravity boobs. Rated M just in case. SI-OC Fic.

When Jaune's friends turned on him upon finding out about his transcripts, he felt more lost than ever. By chance he happened upon a stand in Vale, and his life would change forevermore… "I'm not a Huntsman… I'm a Hero."

The average person can easily understand that when it comes to living in a crime-infested city like Brockton Bay where villains carve out their own personal fiefdoms, treating life like a game can get you killed. It's kind of ironic, then, that Greg Veder has always been far more serious about games than he ever has about life. (Worm/The Gamer AU)

Yeah, I got bored and decided to try my hand. I actually like it so far, so let's try this out. Try out the Gamer in a brand new flavor: Industrial and Steampunk. New stats and classes, new Level system, and new style altogether. T for safety. Fantasy and Steampunk. May be overwhelming at first.

With the body, powers, and Noble Phantasms of Achilles from Fate: Apocrypha after filling out a CYOA, SI is sent to Brockton Bay. What could go wrong, really? Tentatively rated T but may change to M. Updates when possible from 12 to 7 P.M PST(Unless stated otherwise).

So you find yourself in an environment considered hostile even on a world full of monsters. What do you do? Try to survive, of course. And if you manage to do that? Well, then things can change...

Left in a new world with hardly an explanation for his arrival, the only thing left for him to do was to keep walking forward one step at a time for those watching behind him.

Just your everyday RWBY fanfic. Or is it? When 10 year old Jaune Arc is feeling down, he is kidnapped by a older man who resembles him and even has the exact same name. He ends up training under his kidnapper for 6 years before he is able to return home. Now 17 year old Jaune Arc finds himself in another predicament. He now has a time traveling daughter.

When the Fourth Hokage called upon the Shinigami, he unknowingly reopened the connection to Soul Society. Decades later, the Shinobi are ready to enter the ranks of the Gotei 13. How will the Shinigami react to the warriors of the Elemental Nations? Could a certain knucklehead be next in line for Yamamoto's chair? AU

...Was it really a coincidence that they were all reincarnated to the same world at the same time? AU where Arturia was reborn as a Malfoy, Rin a Potter, Shirou a Weasley and Archer...as his twin.

You know, you think getting launched into grimm infested forest would be the craziest thing that would happen to someone. But this blue screen telling me life was a game said otherwise. I don't know what to believe anymore, but I'll tell you one thing. I always did like playing a Paladin.

"The world of Remnant?" Jaune said holding the case in his hand. He looked up at Sun who grinned and gestured for him to keep reading. He rolled his eyes and looked back down at the case. "The world of Remnant is a sandbox-oriented massively multiplayer online role-playing game." He looked back at Sun. "Why do I get he feeling you want me to play this with you?"

Well I died... and was reborn. In my favorite anime no less. I also have a gamer ability using the SAO system. With my abilities I will protect the one I love and save everyone I can

He refused to believe in reincarnation, but that was long ago, in another life, in a distinct universe. Sent in a world where the strong survives, and the weak perish, made his skin crawl. Luckily, he knows this world—he knows the board, and he knows the pieces.Time to make a move [Self Insert].

Bell Cranel's "Grandfather" did a good job in convincing his impressionable grandson to become an Adventurer, one might say he did too good of a job. When a random Stray Dungeon rises into existence just a few leagues away from the whitehaired child's home the day after his "Grandfather" passes from the world, Bell sees no better way to honor the man's legacy than to delve into it.

When the Dursleys die in a car crash, Dumbledore is left with a quandary as to where to place the Boy-Who-Lived. That is, until he remembers another relative of Lily's: a cousin in Japan. Rated M just be safe.

When the first of mankind came together to battle against the creatures of Grimm, the strongest of humanity wielded a golden sword unlike any other and cut down the darkness. But that was in the pass and since then the weapon had been left, forgotten, no one able to wield it since its original owner passed, until now. Competent Jaune,OOC, First Story, Enjoy

Y'know, I never realized how much the phrase about life giving you lemons resonated with me until all of this malarkey happened. I should be dead. Instead, I was dropped into the world of Pokémon, turned into a nine-year-old that looked nothing like I used to. To not take advantage of this supernatural opportunity was just stupid, however. And so, I became a trainer. OC-SI

When a boy wakes up in the world of Naruto with no memory of the past, foggy memories of the future, and a convenient Gamer-like ability so what's he to do? The only option is to get stronger and move forward. SI-ish. Mainly OC. Kind of AU. Plans for crossovers in the future. Please leave reviews! (I'll create a separate sequel to this story in the future.)

Reuploaded, since the admins decided to take it down for no good reason, I'll give a new summary for it later.

Forced to admit that Crocea Mors didn't feel right in his hands—no matter how he held it—Jaune Arc struggled to overcome this obstacle through the insane idea that Aura could become more than just the armor that protected him. Barriers broke as he pushed past the limits of what Aura was capable of, creating and forging his very own weapons from the manifestation of his soul.

Past and future, a beginning and an end, a story of two souls wandering within a new world.

Slight AU, slightly grey Naruto. The Hokage and ANBU commander watched Naruto's use of shadow clones that night. Through guilt tripping of the Hokage, the commander gains the newly graduated Naruto for his forces. Join Naruto as he becomes Team Ro's fourth member and what it means for the plot of Naruto. Slow updates.

Kirito and friends were planning to watch Kanzaki Elsa's concert until a mysterious hooded man appeared on screen with an earth shattering annoucement. On that same day, Karen and her friends were at Elsa's concert live. His announcement will shake the foundations of the world of SAO. "Welcome to the show everyone!"

I have lived the life of being called a criminal, a killer, a manipulator to my enemies. But, towards allies, I'm a hero, a savior, a comrade. The choices I would never make before I was known as Enma Nikos. Now? I'm no longer him, and will become someone better or worse and only time could tell.

Reborn as the twin brother to Peter Quill, Nathan goes his own way because, as awesome as the Marvel universe is, he wants to live his second chance to the fullest. Too bad everything wants to kill him. [Rated M for language and violence. Citrus is undecided.]

Reincarnation, I read about it once, or rather, I have the memories of reading about it once. It's a strange experience to be born with another set of memories. But these memories taught me much, and they have showed me the true nature of the world that I now live in, and I promise to use the gift they gave to its fullest potential: [Self Insert/Oc] [Reincarnation] [CYOA]

Life isn't always fair. Sometimes it feels like the world is targeting you. In the end some people are dealt a bad hand in life while others are dealt a winning hand. Other times a dimension hopping Troll deals you a hand that will change your life forever.

Team RWBY were just minding their own business, relaxing in their dorm when suddenly they're plucked out of their time and space along with Professors Goodwitch and Ozpin. The six of them are told to watch alternate realities of Jaune Arc by a mysterious man... who seems to really like books. Inspired by animegamer98's Into the Arc-hive.

Jaune Arc wanted to be a huntsman and he can achieve that dream now that he's gonna study at Beacon Academy. But in one ironic twist of fate, as he chucked up the contents of his breakfast in a trashcan his memories of his past life came back to him. How will Jaune live his life at Beacon now that he remembers who he was? The one and only Maid of Orléans; Jeanne d'Arc

Everyone but Jaune Arc failed the initiation. Ozpin was speechless. He knew the boy's transcripts were fake, indulged the act, but never foresaw this outcome. Now the numbers were skewed, and a team wasn't possible. Exploiting his forgery would backfire. No, he reluctantly folded the hand Fate bestowed upon him. The Arc must explore Beacon Academy alone.

There's only one way Chaos can full-fill his wish and that is by sending him back in time to do everything again. But not without a request. Chaos wants Percy to bring his adventure to a happy end. But not just an Happy end but an Happy ending for everyone.

No one really knows what happens when your die... well, Jordan figured it out when he passed on, and awoke in the familiar world of RWBY... only now he was Jaune Arc? Now join him as he sets out to change the fate of the world of Remnant, and to change destiny itself to save those he can now call his friends. (Jaune/Pyrrha, Harem?)

Jaune always wanted to emulate the heroes of old, and especially his grandfather, uncle and eldest sister who had encouraged him to take his dream to Beacon. What he did not realize was how big of a change he would make the moment he laid his hands on some armaments. Canon AU based on story challenge by dracohalo117, Jaune slightly OC. Rated T for a reason.

Following the defeat of Kayaba, a glitch in the system imprisons Kirito to a long and dark existence. When freedom is in his grasp, he finds himself in the era of warriors who wield chakra.

Jaune Arc's life takes a turn for the worse before he can ever join Beacon. His dreams of becoming a huntsman almost dashed, his aspirations for the future almost shattered, Jaune finally faces the reality of his situation. He will never become a hunter... without this one pill that suddenly turns a mere human into something... greater. (Jaune on NZT)

A man wakes up to find himself inside the world of Naruto experiencing it via a video game. Forced to fight to survive, he sets upon a path of self-discovery, whether to save this world or destroy it. Self Insert. Finished, finally.

Ilya likes to play video games, and in the time she has remaining, Shirou is more than willing to play the new VR game with her. But when they are trapped inside the game, [Sword Art Online], they determine something even more distressing: Kayaba Akihiko is definitely a Magus.

He didn't know the first thing about teaching, Hell, he didn't even know the first thing about fighting! A shame then, that his forged documents painted the picture of an accomplished and skilled warrior. Now he's trapped teaching students his own age how to be hunters, when he doesn't even know himself!
