Chapter 2-New Save
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-\/-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY or The Gamer. I only own the MC and his stats.
Knight: I have 2 extra files saved with all the extra info about the character to make this easier on myself. And I realized before starting this chapter that I'll have to also set up other characters, and the monsters. Let's say I have even more respect to other authors of Gamer Fanfictions than I had before. Another Gamer Fic for RWBY that I read that gave me a few ideas for this is RWBY: Mixed Data by poaling12. The "system admin" character, and something that will be introduced later, come from my inspiration from that story.

Obsidian looks at the system notification he got for the quest. Because it was still there, the binary in his vision wasn't going away.
"Hmm, I guess it won't drop me into the new world until I'm ready. Let's take a look at my weapons before I close the quest tab. Inventory!" He muters to himself before calling out the command.

-_-_-/\-_-_-
He reads over the items he has in his Inventory. The laptop just has a simple description, probably because it's just a simple Item without use in combat. His Broadsword and Rifles stats surprised him with the minimum/maximum damage system.
"Huh, is that factoring in Critical Hits? If not, then this could have some D&D mechanics to it. Maybe. Maybe the only mechanic from D&D is min to max damage." He states to himself as he notices that he has an option on his equip screen to equip 2 different weapons.
He equips both his weapons before closing out of the inventory tab. He suddenly feels a weight applied to his back, which he suspects it to be both his weapons as he doesn't see his sword applied to his waist. He pulls his DMR into his hands and makes sure it's loaded.
-_-_-\/-_-_-
Short Scoped DMR has been loaded.
Basic DMR Ammo -15(240-225)
-_-_-/\-_-_-
He nods to himself and holds the DMR before he closes the quest tab. As soon as he does that, the Binary around him and in his vision recedes back, revealing him to now be in a forest.
He looks around his location, quickly looking for hostiles before he climbs one of the trees as fast as he can. He struggles a bit, be he gets up into the tree.
-_-_-\/-_-_-
For climbing a tree with no visible hand holds until the top, you gain +1 to AGI and STR.
-_-_-/\-_-_-
He looks around more before catching a glimpse of something odd in the sky. When he looks up into the sky, he sees a very familiar. A shattered moon, shining bright in the night sky.
"So, I'm on Remnant now. This is going to be interesting." He whispers and he his there, aiming the DMR, ready for a fight.
-_-_-\/-_-_-
Bonus Objective for A Brand New Start has been completed. Complete main objective for reward.
Congratulations, the Map Menu unlocked.

"I'll check that out later. Time to fight." He says as he hears growling. He looks around and spots what is growling. 5 Beowolves.
-_-_-\/-_-_-
Beowolf Minor
Level: 5
HP: 2000/2000
-_-_-/\-_-_-
"Level 5, 2000 HP. Man, they're strong"
Obsidian shoots the closest Beowolf with a few bullets, hitting it's torso twice, and hitting its forelegs/forearms with the rest of the bullets.
The Beowolf roars in pain and looks around, catching sight of Obsidian as he stows the DMR and draws his sword.

Target Beowolf hit 5 times.

-_-_-/\-_-_-
He dismisses the boxes and jumps onto the ground, quickly running up to the Beowolf and starts attacking it. Each of his attacks dealing a constant 50 damage to the Beowolf.
He parries the attacks of the Beowolves when he can, but they still get Hits off on him. When he was first hit, he found out that he has his aura unlocked, which majorly helps him with tanking the damage.
-_-_-\/-_-_-
Name: Obsidian Shadows
HP: 500/680
MP: 1670/1670
AP: 1200/1670

-_-_-/\-_-_-
He dismisses the box again and decides to try something new. He charges energy into his sword as he tries to reposition himself so his plan can work. The tip of his sword glows, and because the Beowolves are charging at him, he doesn't have to move much.
"Blade Beam!" He calls out as he slashes his sword horizontally, sending an arc of energy at the wolves of Grimm. The arc slices through both of them, killing them instantly.
-_-_-\/-_-_-
Skill created Blade Beam

Obsidian looks around and relaxes, seeing nothing there. He smiles to himself before he is suddenly Surprised by a system notification.

Obsidian nods a bit and closes the box. He reloads the DMR, taking another 15 rounds out of his reserves, before he sheaths his sword and stows the DMR.
He walks around, looking for a path to lead him to civilization. As he walks, he notices it takes a while for him to regain HP and MP, but AP recovers a bit faster. Most likely because he may take more damage without AP.
When he finds a path, he gets another notification.

"Shadow Skin? Huh, wouldn't have expected that to have been a reward for finding out my location before… okay, it actually does make sense. If it's what I think it is, it'll allow be to take a few less hits from Grimm." He says, making the decision to deal more with his inventory once he gets to a safe place away from the Grimm.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-\/-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Obsidian found a town at the end of the path, and he decided to rent out a Hotel room for a few days, which costed him 100 Lien. Not to expensive, but he also asked for only a room, and the smallest room available.
After sitting down in the room, he decides to open up his menu first, and was surprised to see that it had more options, both unlocked and in total.

Another notification box pops up in front of the menu screen, giving in info for what happened to the Menu.
-_-_-\/-_-_-
An Update occurred as you were dealing with those big bad wolves out there. Don't worry, it didn't affect much. It was just a Minor UI update. You now have access to a separate Quests page to make it easier to check how your quests are. You also have a new page that will be locked until the correct conditions are met. Because of the Update, the DLC/Updates page has been unlocked. There are currently no DLC ready for use for you, as you haven't reached Beacon yet. Have a good day!
-_-_-/\-_-_-
Obsidian thinks a bit before opening the Quests page. He sees it is divided into Main, Side, Misc, Gear, and Event Quests. Going through the sections, he finds all except Main are empty, and Main has his first quest labeled with Complete.
After checking that out, he opens his inventory to check out the new items he gained, other then the Skill books
-_-_-\/-_-_-

"Hmm, I'm gonna make the assumption that the potions are a lower quality, with how much AP, MP, and HP people tend to have." He looks over their looks. The HP potion looks red in both the Inventory screen, as well as in his hands. The MP potion looks green in both locations as well. The AP potion surprises him though. It looks white in the Inventory, but it looks the same color as his AP bar while it's in his hand. Setting it down on his bed, the potion returns to white.
"So, it reacts to Aura as well with healing aura. Could it be that this can show who has aura and who doesn't?" He places the potions back and changes the screen out to be his stat screen.

Taking a look at his stats, he thinks about where to a lot the points.
"Ok, my INT and WIS are much higher then everything else. AGI and STR are 1 away from 10. RES and LUK are 2 away from 10." He thinks a bit more before smiling.
He puts 1 SP into both AGI and STR, 2 points into RES, LUK, and CHA. Finally, he places 4 points into END, putting it on par with his INT and WIS.

He smiles a bit at his decision before he used both the skill books he gained from the quest. The knowledge of the books literally flows into him as if he was the Skyrim Dragonborn at a word wall.
As he recovers from the sudden gain of knowledge, a few more notifications pop up. He lets them stay there for a bit before he decides to read them.
-_-_-\/-_-_-
Skill Instant Dungeon Create/Escape has been acquired
ID Create/Escape(Active)

You can now access sub dimensions called Instant Dungeons. The types of dungeons and how they work will be acquired as the level increases. Along with being able to access them, you can also escape then as long as there are no active hostiles anywhere near you.

You use your soul to turn yourself into a shadow with shape. For every use of this skill, you take no damage from attacks
Duration: 6 seconds.
Cost: 150 AP
Cool Down: 30 Seconds
-_-_-/\-_-_-
His eyes widen at the cost of Shadow Skin, it's duration, and the fact that it had the flavor text from the rule book as well.
Obsidian decides to, even if he might not need to anyway, go to sleep. He goes to sleep quite quickly, and he imagines that he could gain a selective sleeping skill that gives him the benefits of a full rest with any amount of time.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-\/-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Obsidian wakes up exactly upon sunrise. He stretches before noticing the gamer text boxes in front of him.
-_-_-\/-_-_-

-Cannot Refuse-
-_-_-/\-_-_-
"Soul bound quality?" He questions, and the a new box appears, closing the previous ones. He doesn't notice the new map, or the map name change.
-_-_-\/-_-_-
Soul Bound
An item with this quality has infinite durability, and acts as an enchanted weapon for purposed of bypassing damage reduction abilities. Only the creator of a Soul Bound weapon can use it to its full capabilities. The Min/Max damage is 1.5x stronger to the creator and there can be more abilities on the weapon
-_-_-/\-_-_-
Obsidian grins at the Soul Bound qualities effect. He suddenly realizes that he gained the map for Patch, meaning that he is on Patch.
"I wonder when in the story line I am. Hopefully not to early. I think I would do a lot to help with the canon events." He says to himself before he takes a look at the map for Patch.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-\/-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Knight: Starting out in Patch, gaining a few updates to the UI, gaining a powerful ability that he may not use often, and the possibility of meeting up with the canon characters. What shall happen to Obsidian? Also, I used the update as a way to justify changing the UI I had set up in the previous chapter. Hopefully, I'll be able to fine tune the UI situation soon. I will definitely use the final UI style in another Gamer Fic if I decide to make another after this one. Hope you enjoyed Richie/Obsidian getting his bearings in his new world.
