*Looks around the room seeing the dust and cobwebs*
Is this how long I left this story for? Huh. Well anyway as you can see I'm fully rebooting/remaking this story from the ground up. Anyway It's good to be back to this story, what's it been like 7 years? *Looks past the camera* 8? Reason was that My laptop needed a new battery so I was left outta the upload cycle.
Regardless I this story I didn't want to abandon due to so much hard work being put into it. Looking back on the writing I did all those years ago I was a mere rookie doing what he wanted, but now with some experience under my belt I can reboot it with proper a story line.
So eough outta my rambling
1-Menu: Press Start
Have you ever had one of those days where you just lose yourself in a game you play for so long, you actually feel as if you were there, and actually feel what the characters feel? They are many different rides waiting to be ridden, you engross so deep into it, and nothing else becomes relevant. The way I see it, there's two types of people. Those who prefer reality and don't seem really interested in games and just live one life. And then there's the gamers. They live many lives, whether it's being a war hero, sole survivor or a Demi God. The rides are endless.
Which person am I do you ask? Well it's simple. I'm a gamer and I'm proud of it. Nothing will tell me otherwise.
Now when I say I was a gamer, I was referring to either keyboard & mouse or a controller. What else would I refer to right? What if I told you that I was given something to play far more real than the VR tech we have these days.
Well as to how it came and happened to me…it wasn't the most pleasant experience, in my "Final Moments" I went into cardiac arrest and my world was cut, now keep in mind I wasn't over weight or anything but I wasn't the most fit. I wasn't sure if I died or I was rushed to hospital and now unconscious, I just don't know. I opened up my eyes and all I saw was a black void of…well, nothing. Until a holographic screen appeared in front of me.
Welcome, and Congratulations. You have given the chance to become 'The Gamer'.
'I've read several gamer fanfictions, so I think I have a pretty good idea on what might happen' 'But seriously!? I get greeted by this after pretty much kicking the bucket? Sheesh, dick move life. But I get the chance to have this power for a second chance, so silver lining I guess' I thought seeing both the pros and cons.
New players are recommended to go through the tutorial. Would you like to go to the tutorial?
"Yes please" I said.
So polite. There are different options regarding the commands. There are verbal and manual commands. Which would you prefer?
"Verbal commands" I replied.
Verbal commands come in to varieties, "Voice" and "Thought". They are passive and can be used anytime, you can change this in the options menu at any time. Now say or think menu.
'Menu' I though, people might think I've got a screw loose or something if I said this stuff aloud. Then screen then showed several different options.
Status
Inventory
Skills
Quests
Map [Unlocked during main questline]
Options
Now here's the Main Menu, this will show you where everything will be. Select the status screen and see where we stand shall we?
'Status' I thought.

'Lien? I think that's Remnants currency, looks like I'm going to the world of RWBY by the looks of it'.
Other than that you don't stand out as much do you? Here's 10 stat points that should help fix that.
'Ok let's see if I'm not mistaking, STR is my physical condition like damage output. HP is tied to my, END which is my defence and resistance. DEX is my agility, and movement speed etc. MP is mana, so it's magic damage output and resistance, which is tied to WIS. CHR is my speech and how I talk to people, I'm gonna need that. And last is my LUCK, it will affect all the above in some matter' I thought before moving my finger over the stats to apply the points to 'Ok I'll put 3 in STR, 3 DEX, 3 in CHR and 2 LUCK. That way I can take damage and be able to move with it, be able to hold a conversation and have luck on my side'. I thought before sliding the menu away and moving on.
Next up is the skills menu. Select the skills menu please.
'Skills'
Gamer's mind-Passive
Gamer's Body-Passive
Don't be too bummed out you'll get more of these as you progress, don't worry.
'These are pretty self-explanatory, the Gamer's mind allows me to keep calm in any situation. Whereas the Gamer's Body will gives me the body of a Video game character, meaning if I keep my HP I won't feel pain as much'. I analysed.
Now let's return to the Main menu.
'Return' I thought as the main menu showed up again. I wanted to see what I'll have in my inventory so I figured I'd go there next.
'Inventory' I thought.
This is your Inventory, the perfect Hammerspace for all items alike. It's pretty spacious right now, let's start filling it by adding a weapon to it. Take your pick.
Sword
Axe
Hammer
Staff
Scythe
Gauntlets
Knives
'I was always a sword person, without a doubt, Gauntlets I could have as a backup because you could never have too many weapons with this ability'.
Short Sword: Small and simple sword to use.
Long Sword: Long blade and little more difficult than the Short Sword.
Katana: Fast and nimble, good for quick strikes.
Rapier: Long and thin, excellent for thrusting and parrying attacks.
Great Sword: The ideal weapon for heavy hitting blows and able to cleave enemies in two.
'Well this is a no brainer, Great Sword'. With the applied command the weapon appeared in my inventory and pulled out the weapon from my Inventory.
"Observe" I said inspecting the weapon. When I did it had a white beam emitting from it like a weapon would in Borderlands.
Iron Great Sword
Nothing special but it's a classical way to split someone down the middle, or through the stomach.
Great swords require a lot of strength and dexterity to wield, but it's all worth it to do a ton of damage.
To your left is your equipment screen. It's not necessary to equip anything as of now, below that is your equipped weapons you'll be able to switch between for weapons at a time. Let's have a look at the last screen, the Quest screen.
'Return. Quests' I thought as it showed the highlighted quest.
Current Quests
"Working out the kinks" (In Progress)
'Working out the Kinks' I stated the quest as it showed the quest information.
Working out the Kinks
Main Objective: Complete the Tutorial
Reward-100 EXP
Bonus Objective-Rank up 4 Stats 3 times- +75 EXP
'Alright that's that. Turn in'. I thought.
Congratulations, you have completed the Tutorial, now prepare to wake up in a new world, Connor O'Brien…Good Luck ;)
Quest Complete-Working out the Kinks
LEVEL UP!
The screen then disappeared and everything went black.

Not much is changed here, except as to how things the way they are and restructured gaming system...sorta, still working on it but I got a good grasp on it regardless. Anyway the first 5 chapters of the reboot are now being uploaded as I type this AN. So be sure to let me know you're thoughts on the reboot.
Anyway don't let me keep you here there still several chapters to be read.
Cronus Prime Out!
