RE: Blazing Gamer Chapter 2: Journey's Beginning
Revised A/N: Fixed a plot hole of Blake saying Nathan didn't have aura, despite knowing he has a "semblance" before the crash. Fixed some grammatical errors and overused punctuation. Rewrote some sentences here and there. Enjoy the revised chapter!
Nathan shifted in his seat nervously, eyes glancing back and forth between the window and the girl currently sitting next to him. He figured he should at least try and strike up some kind of conversation.
"So, what is your name?"
"Wouldn't you like to know." The black haired girl replied dismissively, casually reading a book that Nate had no idea where she pulled it out from.
"o-kay." Nate sighed turning his head away towards the window, slightly shifting the blue sphere in his hands. He was just trying the be polite, was it so wrong to learn about the girl who helped remove the crates on him and followed him back to his train car? Those 5 words was the most she had spoken in a single sentence at him. He didn't really need her to say her name, as his ability automatically tells him. It just would be awkward if he suddenly said it if she didn't tell him in the first place. Nathan glanced one more time at Blake's status screen.

"Okay what the hell is up with the question marks?" He fumed silently. First his tutorial quest didn't tell him the class he would acquire, and now it's some special stat he doesn't have at all! Well if anything was a solace he did gain some goodies as he had finished Tutorial 2. Thankfully he didn't need to waste one of the Vulnerary uses as his Health replenished slowly out of combat.
With some messing around in his newly founded Options menu, he was able to display the level up screen differently so it would only show the stats that had actually increased instead of his complete stat page. He also changed how he views other people's stat pages, showing only their Level, Class, and Health at a cursory glance. On that note, he had gained that level he was promised in his Adventurer class.

'Oh goddamn it.' Nathan groaned internally, even he was not spared from the bad levels. At the very least though he always got a free stat point, which helped out immensely. Looking over his stats he decided to keep to his promise and increase Strength.
Strength increased by 1.
He shifted his attention towards the blue sphere in his hands, its glowing center was encased in what looked like a spherical cage. Accessing his Inventory and selecting it, he pressed Use which prompted a new window.
[Second Seal]
Powerful Seal imbued with the energy of a new class.
Learn the class Thief?
[Yes] [No]
Wait, learn? It didn't say change so does that mean he could control multiple classes? Nate grinned widely as the possibilities ran wild in his mind, being a Druid and then turning into a Dragon Lord would be absolutely amazing! He was broken out of his thoughts when Blake spoke up next to him.
"What is that thing?" She was curiously eyeing the giant blue ball that was in his hands .
Still slightly irked at her from before, Nate replied with the exact same thing she did before, "Wouldn't you like to know." Blake's eyes narrowed slightly before she had realized what he had done and simply turned back to her book after the short exchange. "What a good start to a friendship'" Nate thought, feeling only slightly guilty over replying that way to her. Leaving it alone he pressed Yes, excited at gaining a new class, only to promptly get cock blocked by another window.
Unable to gain new classes until Adventurer Class Lv. 5 achieved.
He sighed heavily and placed the Second Seal into his inventory, the blue ball vanishing out of his hands as he leaned back into his chair. He glanced over at Blake only to be met with her staring back at him, a raised eyebrow showing her confusion.
"What was that?" She gestured at the empty spot that the Second Seal had been in previously. It was then that Nate had realized that he had shown off his power in front of her. Well, not like he can lie about it now.
"I guess you could call it my special ability," Nathan said simply, which caused Blake's eyebrow to raise even further.
"So what, your Semblance is some kind of storage which you can take stuff out of and put back in?" Nate had not idea what she was talking about when it came to a 'Semblance' so he did the next best thing, nod his head and agree. He relaxed in his seat and closed his eyes, that whole fight with the robots and getting trapped under boxes had taken a lot out of him. She eyed him suspiciously but eventually went back to her book, muttering something under her breath. He sill needed to get her name but right now he just wanted to relax until the train met it's stopping point, wherever that was.
He just hoped that nothing else was going to mess up on this train ride...
What felt like only moments later, whatever higher power there was in this world decided to crush his hopes into a small ball and dunk it into the trash can where it belonged.
Explosions rocked the train car yet again, but instead of it being far away like the previous one had this sounded like it was right under him. Quickly forgetting how tired he still felt Nate checked outside the window next to him only to realize that they were falling, the train had derailed and the entire thing was now plummeting to the ground! "They put explosives on the tracks itself!?" Blake exclaimed, death gripping her book in response to the explosion.
That was the last thing Nathan heard before he was launched from his seat. His head slammed on the metallic roof harshly, making him pass out immediately.
Nathan awoke to a pounding headache and pain, lots of pain. He was able to work through the headache enough to call up his status screen.
[Status]
Name: Nathan Bellew
Class: Adventurer
Lv. 3 EXP: 0
Health: 2/20
He disregarded the rest of the screen due to how low his health was. He quickly tried to get up only for pain to shoot out from his left side. After the pain slowly went down he twisted himself to see what was causing him that much agony. A short piece of rebar was protruding out of his side about 3 inches, blood pooling down onto the ground. Nate's immediate thought was to take out this piece of metal, but thought against it due to not knowing how deep it truly went and if ripping it out would kill him. His mind wandered to the vulnerary that he had gotten for completing Tutorial 2, that should be able to heal him enough to get the rebar out. Quickly calling up his inventory, he selected Vulnerary. Selecting Use, an error message appeared.
Cannot use vulnerary to heal if foreign bodies are protruding from the user.
Do you still wish to summon the Vulnerary?
[Yes] [No]
Selecting No, he laid his head back onto the metal floor, taking several deep breaths. He readjusted himself slowly so he could get a good grip on the rebar. He really hoped this would not tear him up when it came out. Gripping the rebar with both hands, he had decided to do a countdown then try to tear it out.
"Alright, on one. Three, two, ON- AHH!" He screamed in pain as he pulled on the metal. What was only a few seconds felt like an eternity as his peripheral vision was starting to go black. With a sickening squelch, the piece of rebar was free, he quickly threw it to the side and called up his inventory again. Selecting Use didn't prompt the error message again and a small-sized yellow vial appeared in his hand. Quickly popping the cork, Nathan chugged the contents inside. He disregarded the cherry cough medicine flavor in favor of getting it down quickly and healing him.
"Ah, fuck me." Nate breathed out with a sigh of relief. The pain had begun to vanish almost completely as the hole in his side had begun to close. It now seemed like there never was a gaping hole in the first place, but he was still sore. Checking his health showed that the vulnerary had healed ten points of his total pool of twenty. He decided to save the other two uses for later, since he wasn't in actual combat he should regain health. Nate slowly got up and looked at his surroundings, the train car he was in was on its side, with windows from the top pouring sunlight into the car itself.
He tried to ignore the fact that his stomach had felt queasy when the smell of copper hit his nose, he tried even harder to keep the bile from escaping his throat as he realized that bodies were littered about on the floor. Large blood splatters had meant they died from the impact of the train hitting the ground. Nate felt extremely light headed, the world spinning until his' Gamer's Mind ability had snapped him back to reality. He needed to escape from the train car and check for any other survivors.
Nathan looked towards the door that he had gone out previously, intent on opening it, but instead noticed a piece of black cloth hanging down from the chair that was next to his own. He slowly took the cloth before placing it within his inventory. "This must have been the bow Blake had, since I don't see her anywhere in here she must have escaped, she would want this back." He turned his attention back to the door he was trying to go through, climbing onto the second row of seats he was able to get a grip on the door handle without falling back down.
Both doors leading outside turned out to be busted, lodged in the frame itself and would not budge when he tried to open them. The only way out it seemed was through the windows at the top, he climbed towards the top of the fourth row of seats, thankfully he didn't need to jump up to the third row because the middle lane was short. Climbing up, Nate noticed one of the windows was already busted open, "Must have been Blake." Grabbing the window frame, he climbed out and stood up to look out upon a forest that was not like the one he was in previously.
Instead of a red forest with mountains dotting the landscape this one was thankfully more normal, with a sea of green greeting him and no mountains to be sighted in the least. It was then that chills ran down his spine as he felt several pairs of eyes on him, he saw nothing in his vicinity other than a group of other people further down the tracks but they were not looking at him. Something was out in that forest, something dangerous, and he did not want to wait around to find out what it was. Nate quickly climbed down and hastily moved towards the group of survivors.
Nate was passing by a train car connector when he saw movement out of the corner of his eye, turning quickly he had found it wasn't some monster but Blake who was checking her weapon and didn't seem to notice him. Summoning the black ribbon he decided to break the silence and return it.
"I think you dropped this back in the train." Blake jumped slightly and quickly turned towards him, causing him to tense slightly in case she tried to take a swing at him but she visible relaxed instead. She gave him a shocked look, completely ignoring both what he said and the ribbon in his hands.
"I thought you were dead!? The last time I saw you was after the train crashed, you were impaled and in a big pool of blood! How did you survive that?" Nathan simply summoned another vulnerary into his other hand and showed her the vial.
"Well, this little vial holds a kind of potion, it was able to completely close that gaping hole I had in my side believe it or not. I don't know exactly what it is made of though, my parent's gave it to me before I left my town. Didn't expect it to save my life like that." Nathan lied. Despite what he little he's seen of this world, he did not expect telling her of his powers, and how he got them, to go over too well. "I have two now, including this one, which I'm going to save for an emergency. Now that your question is out of the way I would appreciate it if you could take this ribbon back, something tells me we do not have a whole lot of time before whatever is out there comes to try and kill us."
Blake practically ripped the bow out of his hands, seemingly embarrassed, and quickly tied it into her hair. Nathan turned around and stared into the forest, he could occasionally see a shadow or two dart across which only increased his nervousness. When she was done they met up with the small group of survivors who were looking over a map. They seemed surprised to see the duo, probably because they thought there was not any more survivors. They got caught up on the situation by the train conductor, how he survived baffled Nathan because they would normally be at the front which must have impacted first but he introduced himself regardless.
"The name's Reynold, glad to see that more people survived." Reynold pointed down onto the map, which showed a trail that lead up to some kind of big city named Vale, "this path is our best option to get to civilization since it's the closest to our location. It is still quite far though and by now the Grimm know we are here. It would be okay if we had a huntsman here but none were on the train and I highly doubt that many here can fight, or even have had their Aura unlocked." Reynold held up what seemed to be some kind of phone, it had some kind of holographic screen connected to solid white ends. "I did manage to get a call through into Vale, they are preparing a rescue party but we are going to have to set off anyways, if we stay here we're dead."
Nate shifted the sheath on his back slightly, "Well if we can we should head out immediately, you can fight can't you Reynold?" Reynold picked up a type of assault rifle and loaded it, grinning back at Nate.
"Only a truly crazy person would not have some type of protection when working with the Schnee Dust Company. It's just a gun though, so don't expect any kind of close range combat from me." Nate had several questions about what the hell a company does with dust and what Aura was. He decided to keep it to himself though, better to figure that out when his life currently wasn't on the line.
The group itself was relatively small, not including them three there was five people, which was less then the amount of people in the train car Nate woke up in he realized. "Since the group is so small it should be easy to protect, Blake and I will be leading the group. Since you only have a gun Reynold you will need to stay back and provide assistance from a distance, this will also allow for one of us to keep an eye on the group just incase some Grimm try and ambush them." Both Blake and Reynold agreed with Nate's strategy, the former slightly surprised at him volunteering her. He was equally surprised at himself for making a plan on the spot. Reynold walked towards the civilians and gathered them up, telling them that it was time to move out.
Nathan looked away when a notification sound rang in his head, turning his attention to the new window that popped up.
[New Quest!]
[Journey's Beginnings]
A dangerous train crash has left you and others inside hostile territory, a safe haven can be reached but you must fight to get to it.
Objective: Survive long enough to rendezvous with the rescue party while protecting the group of survivors.
Rewards upon Completion: 500 Lien, access to the city Vale, ?
Side Objective: ?
Accept?
[Yes] [No]
There was no need for it to tell what happens if he failed this quest. Nathan cursed under his breath as another question mark appeared, not knowing what the reward could be slightly infuriated him. It could also mean however, that he could gain another class from this journey or gain enough experience to be able to accept the thief class he could not learn earlier. Nate pressed yes and turned back to the group. They had packed up and were ready for the journey to Vale. Taking out his Iron Sword from its sheath, he joined Blake and Reynold at the front of the group.
With one last look at the map, they begun their journey into the Grimm infested Forest.
Ever since they had set out onto the path Nate always felt a pair of eyes on him which did nothing but make him even more tense. He kept his own pair of eyes into the tree lines just waiting for a Grimm, whatever they were, to pop out at any moment. The journey had been going good so far but they knew they were in constant danger. Nate's grip on his Iron Sword could not have been tighter, Blake and Reynold were the same as well, constantly scanning everywhere.
Nate almost didn't even react in time as a black mass shot towards him at high speeds.
Throwing himself backwards, Nate has caught his first glimpse at the creature known as a Grimm. It had looked like a wolf, but stood up on two legs instead. Its fur was pitch black with what seemed like bone protruding out of its arms and back, both in spines and plate shapes with its entire head covered with bone as well. Its beady red eyes bore into his own with an animosity that sent a shiver down his spine. He instantly called up its stat screen.
[Young Beowolf]

Nathan almost chuckled at this Beowolf's stats because how just how weak it was, other than its speed stat it was an absolutely pitiful monster. He began to walk forward with his Iron Sword in front of him when Blake abruptly grabbed his shoulder.
"Wait. We don't know where the rest of its pack is, we need to protect the civilians remember?" Nate sent her a confused look before glancing back into the trees on his right. If he strained his ears hard enough he could hear multiple sounds, almost like a stampede. He locked eyes with Blake who gave him a nod confirming his suspicions. He quickly turned to the civilians, shouting.
"EVERYONE BACK AWAY TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PATH NOW!"
Beowolfs exploded out of the forest, vast in number and barreling towards them. It was at that moment that Nate realized just why they were so deadly for being so weak in the first place, they overcame their weakness by sheer numbers. A skilled enough person could take out multiple of them sure but they would get tired from fighting eventually. One of the Beowolfs launched itself at Nathan, its jaw opening wide in an attempt to bite off his head. Nate ducked his head down, and quickly stabbed upwards when it had got close and catching the blade into its stomach. He didn't account for the Beowolf's weight and was dragged along with the momentum of the body sailing over him, flipping over it and landing on top of the Beowolf with his feet back on the ground. He tore out the blade and plunged it back in the Grimm's chest, killing it. He did not expect for the body to start evaporating at all, but there were more pressing matters to focus on right now.
Blake had seemed to take out Beowolfs by herself without too much trouble so Nate focused his attention on the ones attacking Reynold and the civilians. Nathan rushed the nearest Beowolf, who had taken shots from Reynold's rifle, a quick check of it's health had been lowered to eight. One quick swipe with his sword had killed it without trouble. He managed to kill three more weakened ones before any of the healthy ones decided to target him. He slashed one away as another sliced his back, quickly checking his health showed it had only brought it down by a measly two. With a large grin, Nate launched himself into a small group of Beowolfs, giving quick slashes and taking them in return. He cut another Beowolf down when a distinct jingle played in his head.
[Level Up!]

Nate quickly put the stat into defense, another claw dug into his leg while he was distracted, dropping his health down by one. Cursing for letting one get to close, he gave a overhanded swing, lodging his weapon between two boney plates. He was removing the sword from the now dead Beowolf when he heard a scream from the civilian group. Somehow a Beowolf snuck past both him and Reynold and was attacking a civilian on the ground! He quickly rushed forward and impaled the Beowolf on his sword, before tearing it out and in a wide slash cut off its head.
With that any remaining Beowolfs suddenly retreated back into the forest line, only leaving the bodies that were not evaporated yet. Nathan was breathing heavily as he realized just how much that fight had taken out of him. He quickly turned to check on the civilian with Reynold and Blake coming up behind him. The civilian, who Nate learned was named Jack, had his lower arm completely ripped open down to the bone. He didn't need anyone to tell him that if Jack did not get treated soon, he was definitely going to bleed out and die. He felt Blake's eyes on him as he internally debated on whether or not to hand over a vulnerary. Nathan did not know who he was at all, and there was still a chance that he would die even if he did get healing. On the other hand, he was debating over the life of a human being for the use of one of his vulneraries. He nearly slapped himself just for thinking like that, summoning the vulnerary from his inventory.
"Here, drink this, it should help out with your wound." Jack looked at him hesitantly before he took the vial with his still intact hand before downing it in one go. Almost immediately the torn up arm began to repair itself, tendons grew and reconnected, flesh beginning to fill in quickly. It did not close completely though, just enough that a majority of the damage was healed. Another jingle played in his head and another message popped up.
[Side Objective Complete!]
'If civilian is injured, heal them with a vulnerary.'
Granted 50 Experience.
'Ten more experience and I can finally use the thief class!' Nate thought cheerfully. Jack was about to say something to him before a loud roar sounded off from the area where the previous Beowolfs retreated to. Another Beowolf appeared, but this one was way different than the ones they had faced previously. This one was larger, with more bone-like plates covering it, the spines much larger as well. He was about to bring up its stat page before two quick shots from Reynold's rifle had distracted him. Another normal Beowolf collapsed by his feet, trying to ambush them from behind. It was still alive, which was remedied when Nate quickly plunged his Iron Sword into its neck. He cheekily grinned as it had pushed him to exactly one hundred experience.
[Level Up!]
Tutorial finished, gained automatic promotion to Lord Class
Choose between three different Lord Classes
Sword Lord: Uses Swords only until promotion
Lance Lord: Uses Lances until promotion
Axe Lord: Uses Axes until promotion
Tutorial finished, free stat point now gained every two levels.
Nathan thought hard about which version he should choose, he wasn't that far in with using swords to lose out in using a different weapon type. Axes were the strongest but also had the worst accuracy, while lances themselves were perfect all-rounders in terms of accuracy and might. He decided to go for the middle ground and chose Lance Lord. He had wanted to hit harder but not sacrifice to much in terms of accuracy, no use in being more powerful if you couldn't hit anything. He also had the thief class to use if he ever needed to use swords. Lightning struck the ground right next to Nathan, it then stuck continuously as a bright light radiated from himself. When it died down Nathan's outfit had changed significantly. He was wearing a blue tunic that fell down to just above his knees, white pants, large blue boots, and a large red and blue cloak wrapped around him as a weight was placed onto his back, that being his new weapon. A navy blue chest plate formed, placing itself on top of his tunic.

Grabbing the metallic shaft, Nathan withdrew his new lance and inspected it, it looked more like a halberd instead of a normal spear. A dragon head was etched into the silver head of the lance, with it's tail wrapping around halfway down the lance, two small, scaled wings branched out about two inches below the lance head.
[Dragon Spear]
Effective Against Beasts and Heavily Armored Opponents.
Lance - Prf Range - 1 Weight - 7
Might - 9 Hit - 85 Crit - 10

Nathan felt absolutely amazing, armed with a new and powerful lance and a huge power up through the promotion. He did not have enough time to truly comprehend all the changes though as the big Beowolf charged at the group. Nate was ready to move and face the Grimm before a familiar power swelled up inside of him and his body seemed to move of its own accord. Twirling the lance with one hand, he launched himself into the air bringing the lance back before swinging downward as he got into the Beowolfs range, he slammed it into the Beowolf's head before bringing it back and impaling the Beowolf's abdomen. He had a wide grin on his face until a message popped up on his combat log, this time in the color red.
[Critical!]
Nathan dealt 0 damage to Alpha Beowolf
'oh...fuck.' Nathan cursed internally before the Beowolf smacked him backwards with a single strike, the claws impaling through his armor into his chest. He could feel his ribs crack from the force as he was thrown back across the path back to the group. He collapsed in a heap, bleeding heavily, causing concerned shouts from the entire group. He checked his health to see it had dropped down all the way to one single point remaining. He painfully raised his head to analyze what the hell he was dealing with.

'We are no match for that thing, we have to get out of here now!' Nathan thought while he shakenly rose to his feet, his ears ringing. He did not have the chance to voice his concern to the group before the Alpha charged once again at them. Nathan gripped his lance weakly, as did Blake and Reynold to their weapons, even if they were no match for it they could buy time for the civilians to escape. It was all for naught as something intercepted the Alpha before it reached them, all he heard was a slicing noise and the Alpha went flying before landing on its feet, growling at the new threat. That was when the person turned and spoke to the group.
"All right kiddos, time for you to get aboard the one way express airship to safety." A man said with a small, lopsided grin. His grey spiky hair moved slightly in the blasts of air coming from somewhere. He wore a simple grey dress shirt and black pants. His dull red eyes contrasted well with his large red cloak. He wielded some kind of mechanical long sword. He gestured up towards the air and Nate's ears stopped ringing enough for him to pick up the sound of rotor blades, looking up he could see some kind of 4 winged aircraft set itself down on the ground before a loading platform descended from the back. The civilians began to run towards the airship, Reynold took one of Nate's arms and helped quickly walk him to the airship, with Blake on the lookout in case any more Beowolfs attempted to ambush them.
Nate collapsed into a row of seats, pain shooting out from his chest. The last thing he remembered before passing out was seeing the man from before running back into the airship, allowing him to call up the man's stat screen and learn the name Qrow.
Nathan had awoken to the sounds of a frequent beeping and an entirely white room, a hospital room he realized. He slowly sat himself up in the bed and saw that he had several bandages wrapped around his chest and a small tube stuck into one of his arms. He almost tried to get up before he heard the door opening revealing both a grey haired man and a blonde woman.
"Well it looks like your up early, that's a good sign," The man held out a glass a water, "Here, being out cold for a day would make anybody dehydrated." Nathan took the glass with both hands before taking a small sip, then quickly draining it after realizing how thirsty he actually was. He sat down the glass on the bed stand and thanked the man before he continued.
"I am headmaster Ozpin, and this is my assistant Glynda Goodwitch," The woman gave a simple hello before Ozpin continued talking, "and you are somewhat of an enigma Nathan Bellew. When you were administered to the hospital we had checked up on who you were but we ran into a problem, you did not have any kind of identification, no birth certificate, no enrollment into schools. We only really learned your name from the other survivors of the train accident. Just who are you?"
Despite drinking the water Nathan's throat went back to being dry. He honestly had no idea what to tell him, lying was definitely off the table, he felt like they would know he was even if they did not do a background check. Ozpin however spoke up before he could actually say anything.
"Well, I shall not push the issue, everybody has their secrets, and it would be hypocritical of me if I forced you to spill yours. However that is not all we had came here to talk about."
Ozpin locked eyes with Nathan, "We wish for you to join Beacon Academy." This earned a shocked outcry from both Nathan and Glynda but Ozpin silenced them with a simple hand raise. "Now Glynda, we talked about this, Qrow had told us that even without Aura he was a competent fighter. He was also the reason the rescue group found them so fast, what with that blinding light. I feel like he will be an, "interesting" addition to the new school year," He turned back to Nathan before continuing, "Of course it includes a room on the campus and a form of ID for you. Although again, that is up to you, we shall not pressure you into it."
Nathan didn't truly have to think too hard about this proposal. He still had very little idea of where he was, and even less of an idea of what he was going to do after he was released from the hospital. This man was offering him a chance to learn and a place to room in, and having nothing else to do he would be a fool to turn him down. He coughed a few times due to his dry throat before meeting Ozpin's eyes with his own.
"I accept your proposal." Ozpin's smirk grew just a little, "Well then, we shall leave you to your recovery, the new school year starts next week, this," Ozpin handed Nate a type of device similar to the one Reynold had back at the train crash, " is a scroll, it will show you directions to the landing pad where you will board a airship to the school. It has other uses but we'll allow you to mess around with it, just don't break it of course." He chuckled before walking back to the doorway, "Now we shall take our leave, we wish you a good rest, come along then Glynda." Glynda followed Ozpin towards the door, but stopped in the doorway, sending a stern glare towards Nate.
"I will be sending you the list of rules at Beacon Academy, Ozpin might have taken a liking towards you but I will not tolerate rule breakers of any kind, understood?" The glare alone sent chills along his spine worse than the Grimm did. "Yes ma'am!" He squeaked out, Glynda accepted the answer and walked out of the room. He sighed slowly before a familiar jingle sounded in his head.

'So the offer to join the academy was the secret reward.' He concluded, only slightly disappointed it wasn't a new class like he thought. He turned his head to stare out the window, looking at a small portion of the city that he remembered was called Vale.
"An interesting school year, huh?"
Blazing Gamer Ch.2 end.
