Hey all, the second one is up! Now I'm not gonna lie, the rebuilding of this story is gonna be a bit of a bitch but I hope it meets today's standards as I work on it. So Expect most of my time to be focusing on this story for a bit until I finish rebuilding it.

So with that outta the way.

Enjoy!

2-Level 1: GAME ON!

When I said I blacked out I really meant to say that I closed my eyes for roughly 5 seconds and then the world appeared around me. I looked around and saw that I was in the middle of a forest. Yea not the best way to start a game huh?

"You couldn't start off with a prologue or something?" I muttered to myself as I looked at my surroundings. Trees, trees and oh look…more trees. I'm gonna shut up now. 'Ok let's take a look at what we got here, options'. I thought as I figured I'd take a quick glance at what options there are.

Options

Volume

BGM

Help

"BGM? That wouldn't be the gaming music would it?" I checked it and saw that I was right. Not only that but I saw it was listing all the songs from my phone that I had back home. "Now this will be fun. There's nothing better than playing a game while listening to your favourite tunes". I chuckled to myself. "Now where the hell is the Kingdom of Vale at?"

New Quest added

[Looking for the locals]

You are deserted in the middle of a forest but not completely defenceless

Main Objective-Find Civilisation

Reward-300 EXP

Secondary Objective-Defeat an attacking enemy

Reward- +200 Lien

Bonus Objective- Take no damage + 125 Lien

'Jeeze money for days my right? Well, better get started'. I thought to myself before a waypoint appeared before me in my vision and logically followed it. As I made my way towards my destination, I thought about everything that will come my way. The Breach, Fall of Beacon, the cast getting scattered, Attack on Haven and the whole lot. Being able to stop it is unrealistic that's the truth but trying to control the initial damage is something I can strive towards.

'No only that the cryptic bastard Ozpin or Ozma or whoever the old prick likes to call himself will try to put me in his deck of cards or on his chess board or whatever. But I'm a completely different player all together'. I thought to myself. As I then began to pick up the pace.

I've been jogging for what seems like seemed like half an hour, and I didn't feel tired at all. I decided to take a little unneeded break.

Your constant jogging has increased your DEX by 1

"Well nothing like a little DEX increase every so often huh?" I said to myself.

Doing certain activities will increase certain skills, take some time to train and become stronger for future endeavours

"That's quite nifty". I muttered as I saw the notification. But I had the feeling I wasn't alone, as I heard the natural flora move around near me. I looked to my right and saw several Ursa appear blocking any means of escape. I pulled out my Great Sword and held it with two hands in a fighting stance.

"Let's see what you overgrown teddy bears have to offer, Observe". I said to no one in particular.

Strayed Adolescent Ursa X3

Level: 5

HP: 200/200

Status: Weak

"'Ok good thing they're no longer part of a pack or group of any kind, and should be able to go down. Even if I'm 3 levels lower than them. Plus I wanna get as much cash so I can get some better equipment later on'. The Ursa to my right lunged at me with a swipe but I dodged just in time, for everything to slow down for a second or two.

New skill has been developed- Focus (Active)

'Oh yea. Definitely checking that out in a minute'. I thought smugly before dragging the sword along the ground and swinging it upwards decapitating the Ursa's head, dealing 101 CRT-DMG. The body of the beast eventually fell to the ground lifelessly before starting to slowly disintegrate, I then turned my attention to the other two who were getting ready to avenge their comrade.

One attempted to go for a swipe like the last one did but everything went into Focus again. Instead of going for my attacker I went for his friend instead, catching it off guard and bringing the blade of my weapon down in its right arm severing it completely doing 55 DMG. It roared in pain and fell down on the grass.

I decided to put it out of its misery and kill it by severing the head. I spun around to face my final opponent as the Ursa mimicked my action. It stood on its two legs, to make itself look intimidating and roared at me. The Ursa stood on all fours and charged at me and tried to use its jaws as a weapon, only to be dodged and struck in the side. I ran up and sliced both back legs causing it to move to a crawl

"Man you don't go down easily like the other 2 did do ya, you Grimm are determined I'll give you that". I said to it with my Sword resting on my shoulder as I crouched in front of it as it was crawling to me. Not that it cared or anything. Seeing as it had enough, I stabbed in the skull by my sword, before falling limp and dyeing.

"Flawless victory I guess". I mused.

LEVEL UP!

New skills have been created

I looked at my Great Sword and smiled at how much damage I did. Something caught my eye and I saw it was emitting a yellow beam. I walked over and picked it up.

"Observe". I said.

25 Lien card

Currency used on Remnant, these appear in Electronic Card form. This card contains 25 Lien.

With that I stowed it away and picked up the other Lien from the other Ursa I beat adding up to 75 Lien all up. I opened the status screen and put a point in my luck. Better luck=better loot.

I checked the skills and decided to see their properties.

Focus-1/2 [Upgradable]

When dodging an attack at the right time, this skill will make everything seem like it's slowing down, but it's just you going at incredible speeds for the cost of some mana. Can be upgraded by reaching Level 12 and purchasing the upgrade in the store.

"In time I'll get there, in time". I muttered to myself as I then walked in the direction I was going and closed the screen with the flick of a wrist.

Quest complete [Looking for the Locals]

Rewards-300 EXP, 200 Lien

Bonus Reward-125 Lien

'A little jackpot never hurt anybody now did it? Now I need to upgrade my person and weapons'. I thought.

New Quest added

[Gearing up]

Now that you're in the Kingdom of Vale it's time to upgrade yourself so that you can stand out more.

Main Objectives

Upgrade & Name your Great Sword

Build a Secondary weapon

Buy new clothing

Buy 3 skill books 0/3

Reward-400 EXP, Skill Book

'Sweet, buy 3 skill books and get 1 free. And I got an idea on a secondary weapon'. I thought in preparation. As I walked around Vale and eventually found a blacksmith and asked if he could help me out in crafting my weapons. He said he would but as long I was the one making them.

I Named the Sword Thorn, with the Blade being able to open up and reveal the assault rifle which had a six rotary barrel to fit its size, the very same you'd find on a mini-gun. I changed the blade to Camarone green with a black hilt that had a lever that changed its mechashifting. After testing this weapon it is held much like the Heavy Bowgun in Monster Hunter in its gun form and the Sword form, it may be a bit heavy but with some more practice and familiarity it can use it like Devil Sword Dante from DMC5. Come to think of it seems similar in length to said sword upon closer inspection.

As for the Secondary, it was a Jackal Gun was named ANZAC in honour of my home nation's army corps, and had two modes, burst-fire and semi-auto. The blade was hidden inside the barrel, and is able to flip out like a pocket knife would, while still able to use the gun's firing system. The colour was an army green while the blade was a shiny silver. Now that I look at it, it kinda reminds me of Emerald's weapon in some way.

After I did so I found a clothing store and to be honest I spent a fair amount of time in there. But I was comfortable with a green sleeveless hoodie with a black trench coat.

I walked down the street and found an all too familiar store that caught my eye.

'Well, well, well. From Dust Till Dawn huh?' I thought smiling.
