"Have to say, didn't expect him to save George. Nice chapter, maybe a small error in Dario and Lisa's health. Said 1000 when I think you meant to say 100. Other than that, nice chapter. Interesting plot compared to the original. Very much a fan."
…Shit, I'll update it.
ThyOneWhoStrang:
"KEEP GOING PLEASE"
Now the question is, will I actually be able to continue to write this fic? That's the one thing I'm worried about since there's probably going to be a point where I'm stuck on a certain part.
…Let's just see how it plays out.
Josh b:
"Love this idea who is he reincarnated as or oc"
No one really, just an OC/SI. Well… technically pseudo-SI into Nick Rye from Far Cry 5.
Bah, who cares.
Lisa lead us (while I was carrying Jonathan, she was carrying George.) into her house, she settled us in and luckily she had some milk to feed Jonathan with. Convenient.
She only had one bed, but she was fine with sleeping on the floor. She laid down George onto the bed while I fed Jonathan with some milk. But there wasn't much milk, and I knew I had to get some.
Problem was, I didn't have any money and I really didn't wanted to ask Lisa for any money. I mean right now it's not as bad as the Depression Era, but Lisa seemed pretty poor.
…Hmm. Gotta steal I suppose.
[Quest alert!]
[Feed Jonathan]
Looks like we're running out of milk for baby Jonathan, go get some.
Rewards: [Stealth] skill, Milk, 1000 XP.
Fuck, least I had a clear goal for now. But where am I going to get milk though? The city that Lisa did lead us does seem pretty lively, but I'm not sure where they sell milk however.
But before I do anything risky, I still need to go over my arsenal and stuff. I did check some stuff in the introduction but I haven't got used to everything. What do 'Gamers' usually say to open up their menu?
Oh wait. "Menu."

Now I have my charisma at its normal level, but how do I take off The Introvert title? Wait…
Hmm… Oh… Looks like I got to be an extrovert. Great, I wasn't really much of a talker but I'm not a fan of having this title either.
Damnit. Maybe I really should've gotten into socializing, no matter. I exited my stats and decided to check my inventory.
In front of me showed me a 10x10 grid, and one square had Dario's Knife in it. Wait a minute, didn't I put it in my pocket?
I put my hands in both of my pocket but the knife wasn't there at all! I guess my pockets work as a inventory too? I swiped the inventory away and checked my questions.

2 quests, alright. I need to focus on getting milk now whether I steal it or pickpocket money to get it. I told Lisa that I was 'going to go for a walk' as I exited Lisa's house.
Now, the milk. It was still nighttime so people were probably asleep, but I didn't have any flashlight or at least any light source of some sort so it would be hard to see through the dark.
I wasn't great before this, and I sure as hell isn't now.
I decided to walk around randomly until I found some kind of food store, took me a couple minutes but I eventually found a dairy shop. Great!
I crouched and sneaked to the dairy shop ready to steal some milk, the owner seemed to be asleep since he was out in the front and was snoring very loudly. So I doubt he would wake up.
I sneaked into the store and took about 3 bottles of milk, and then bolted out of fear that the owner was going to wake up, I'm just praying that the owner didn't wake up.
[Took 3 glass bottles of milk.]
['Get Some Milk' has been finished! You have been given [Stealth] skill, 3 bottles of milk, and 1000 XP.]
[Skill: Stealth]
[Level: 1]
[5% less noise made when crouch walking and 5% faster crouch walk.]
I kept running until I made it to Lisa's house and then immediately closed the door behind me. Looks like Lisa went to sleep since she was on the floor snoring. Jonathan was asleep too!
I placed the 3 bottles of milk under George's bed, and then I went to sleep. G'day.
[You've slept on the floor.]
[HP restored to 500.]
…
BAH! Better than nothing, but I wonder what was up with my MP when I checked my stats from the day before? It was at 0 and I didn't understand why. Didn't [Hamon Prodigy] give me +1000 MP at the start?
…Maybe I need to unlock [Hamon] first, but I think I'll give it a try somewhere else. For now, I stood up from the floor. Lisa was still sleeping, Jonathan was sleeping, and even George was still unconscious.
Christ, it's been like a few days already. Screw it, you know what? I'm going to wake up George. I walked up to George's bed and then softly slapped him on the face a few times.
"…Mm… Who… is it?"
I crossed my arms. "Finally woke up, eh? I had to slap you on the face a few times just so that I can wake you up. Don't worry, it wasn't hard."
"…Oh! You must be the one who saved me!"
"Actually, there's been a misunderstanding that I just wanted to clear up. I didn't actually save you, I saw you and all the other guys on the ground. Some guy tried to steal your ring, but I managed to fend him off."
['Mistaken Savior' title has been removed from telling the truth.]
Cool, least I don't have anything subtracted anymore.
"…Ah, I see. My apologies, but do you know what happened to my wife?"
"She was hit pretty bad from the crash, I don't think even the best doctors could even save her from such injuries. Your son's okay though, if you were about to ask by the way. But I couldn't recover your wife's body, it was a bit too much weight."
"…I suppose this was fate. But I would like to thank you for taking care of me while I was unconscious including my son. If it wasn't for you, I'd bet we would be in a worse condition right now. Do you perhaps have any family which I could give payment to in exchange for your kindness?"
"I-"
…No, I don't. My family's back in the real world, I can't get them back.
"…No. My parents are gone, I don't know any other relatives. I'm just a homeless orphan, that's all."
George's eyes widened for a second, before it went into a somber and sad shape.
"My condolences, but I still have to repay you for what you have done for us." George then put his finger on his chin for a moment, thinking.
"…I would like to adopt you as Jonathan's step brother."
"What? Wouldn't this be TOO much? I-"
"Nonsense. You have treated me and my son to such kindness, defended us from a thief, and even fed Jonathan while I was unconscious. So I must repay you."
"…Then, fine. Sure. It's a bit jarring though."
George smiled from my acceptance.
"…But I do have a question, how will you and your son get back home? Since your driver's dead from the crash and I doubt wherever you live is close right now to walk to."
"You are correct, going on foot to our mansion will be much of a journey But my servants usually send out drivers to find me once I go missing for at least a day. I need to take a look outside the house if you wouldn't mind." George stood up from the bed, walked to the door, and opened it.
George looked around the place he was at for a minute before looking back at me. "I recognize this city, We seem to be in York. This is one of the cities that my other drivers shall find me at. I believe it would be best to patiently wait for now for the drivers. Would you perhaps have any milk to feed Jonathan?"
I pointed towards the 3 bottle of milk that were under the bed. "Yeah, there's some milk under the bed that I had on me. Don't worry, they're perfectly fine."
"Thank you, err… what was your name again? My apologies."
"Nick Rye, you?"
"My name is George Joestar of the Joestar Family. Welcome to the family, Nick Joestar."
"That I am, Sir."
"No need for the formalities, you may call me dad or father if you would like."
"…I think I'll stick with Sir for now."
"As you wish."
"I think I'll go for a walk for now, my legs are getting a bit stiff."
"I'll take care of Jonathan, thank you again."
"You're welcome."
I walked out of the house as I stretched my arms and legs. It sure did feel pretty stiff. I quickly ran out of town and went to a nearby forest.
Now, it was time to check my [Hamon].
[Quest alert!]
[Unlocking Hamon]
Hamon, cool sun power with healing and shit. Now all you gotta do is unlock it!
Rewards: [Hamon] skill, +1 skill point to all stats, and a health refill.
Shit, no XP or just cool stuff. At least I'll get a health refill and Hamon. But what do I exactly have to do though?
In the 4th episode in Phantom Blood, that Zeppeli guy just poked into Jonathan's lungs pretty badly. But that's what unlocked Jonathan's hamon.
"That's right. Squeeze every bit of air out of your lungs."
I closed my right hand into a fist shape while having my ring finger out, ready to poke into the middle… of my lungs. Well, at least I think that's where Zeppeli poked into.
I then quickly 'poked' myself into the middle of my lungs with my hand with ALL my strength, and…
I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOING TO BE THAT BAD! I EVEN HAD 15 STR!
[Damage inflicted onto yourself! -5 HP.]
I gasped for air as I was starting to panic a little, but then I could feel something warm in my body. Something yellow was coming off of my torso.
I started to breathe a bit normally, and I could feel the Hamon coursing through my body!
['Unlock Hamon' has been finished! You have unlocked [Hamon] skill, given a skill point to all stats, and a health refill!]
[HP: 1000/1000]
[MP: 2500/2500]
Alright! Now I've got Hamon, and NOW I have my MP. So how does this exactly work?
[Skill: Hamon]
The [Hamon] (also known as The Ripple) is an energy which is similar to the Sun's rays. The human body can manifest this energy through controlled breathing which produces ripples of energy propagating from the bloodstream to the rest of the body
[Hamon] can be used for many uses whether it be Combat, Medical, or even Utility purposes. [Hamon] can also be used on objects in certain ways.
[Level: 1]
[5% increased proficient use of [Hamon] and 1% less MP used.]
[Passives: Slow regeneration and 10% damage buff when [Hamon] is active.]
[Moves: N/A]
Nice, but now I needed to learn moves? At least I had passive regeneration if I had Hamon. But let me try actually USING it.
Kuuuuuuoooooooh….
As I started to concentrate on breathing in and out, yellow sparks started to come off of my body unlike how I unlocked it. Interesting.
I decided to return home, time went rather quicker than I expected. I'm just hoping one of George's driver came by now.
Whatever.
