Fyr3Flyt3: Sup Ladies and Gents and welcome to my brand new chapter of Gamer Blue. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 3: Kombat Training

I scrolled around the weapons list for a minute, glancing at all the possible options. I didn't know where I was or what kind of enemy's I would be facing, but I got a general idea of what it might be. I mean, you can't really fight giant alien robots with a flintlock pistol. All the weapons seemed to be either based on a martial art or was an 18th century style firearm.

Twin Kusarigama Chosen

Oh baby, I am going to love this place. I know, I could have chosen any other weapon I from the list. Guns, knives, spears, staves, sheilds. Hell, there was a sword so long, it would have made Cloud jealous in there, but a kusarigama just felt right, ya know? Its like a pair of scythes you can swing around on chains.

A new box formed showing a picture of two kusarigama, smooth steel blade with a black pole. Next to the picture were options and sliders for Color, Blade Width, Blade Length, Custom Art, Name, Blade Type, Stem Length, etc. A grin found its way to splitting my face as I cracked my knuckles. Time to go to work.

Five Minutes Later

I pressed down on the [Done] button, causing bright light to wrap around my arms and hands. The light vanished, revealing black chains wrapped tightly around both my arms, connected to my weapon. The stems were solid gray, connected to the chain by a metal loop on a rounded end. Thick black lines waved up to the point were the blade melded with the stem. The blade was simple, smooth as a river stone, shining in the noon sun. It covered the top, hooking both forward and back, allowing for attacks when the blades turned around.

"Moonfang."

Yes, that's the name I gave my weapon. It's pretty awesome and appropriate seeing as the blade was white and reflected light well. I dropped them, letting some of the chains unravel with a weird effect. Instead of unwrapping from around my arms, the chains just seemed to get longer, never moving on my arms.

"Oh, I wonder how far they go?" I pulled back my arm and chucked the right kursarigama as far as I could, spinning end over end. It landed not far from the forest entrance. "Not a bad throw if I do say so myself. Now," I started," how do I get it back? Its got to retract some- Whoa!" As soon as I said 'retract' the chain started started to be sucked into the others on my arm until the blade itself flew into my arm and disappeared in a flash, leaving me with just chains wrapped arm.

"Huh," I glanced at my right scythe inquisitively, "[Retract]" Lo and behold, the scythe flew into the chains and disappeared like its twin. I swung my wrist in circle, like I was unwrapping the chains, and out came the scythes into my open hands, before retracting them again. I studied the chains for a bit when a message box popped up.

Now that you have finished your weapon, please proceed to the dungeon area [Moonway Forest] to start the Combat tutorial.

Blue-green arrows popped up in midair, leading down the path into the forest entrance. It seemed like a short walk, maybe ten minutes at the most but I was itching to start fighting. I started on the boring trek when I had an idea. I whipped the blades out and flung them both toward the entrance, making it about halfway there. I jumped up and yelled, "[Retract]". The chains retracted towards the scythes instead of towards me, pulling me through the air. I flew until the blades came out of the ground and I tumbled to the Earth.

I stood up and got ready for another go, throwing the blades again, this time landing a little left of the entrance. "[Retract]." I could get used to this type of travel, quick and easy. I flew through the air towards the forest, right into a tree.

"Awesome, now I just need to level it up more." I ran down the pathway, getting a message of how I had entered Moonway Forest. I lept up and yelled," [Tiger Leap]", before soaring through the air.

10 Minutes Later

I really think I was getting the hang of this [Tiger Leap]. I'd only been doing it for a couple minutes now and I didn't even need to land anymore to continue. That and I leveled it up so I could go another five yards. I was making some pretty good time to where ever I was going. The arrows had just been pointing straight, never deviating from the beaten path. As I thought this, the arrows suddenly turned left into the thicker woods. Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

When I got near the turn I hooked the blades into a nearby tree, changing direction and slipping in between the trees. I rolled through the thicket, hitting a lot of bushes with a lot of sharp branches. I eventually stopped in a small clearing, staring up at a box with my HP in it.

HP: 90/100

"Could be worse." I sat up off the ground, coming face to face with a gray dog. Of course I reacted like any person would. "Ahhhhhahahahahahahahhahhhhhhhhhh!"

I did a sitting back rolled into a fighting stance, kursarigama held out, ready for attacking. I glanced around to see there wasn't just one dog, there were three, all the size of a motorcycle, all growling at me. They had sharp yellow teeth and matted fur, hungry looks in their eyes. Wolves.

*Ping*

"Bitchin! [Observe]!"

Gray Wolf Lvl. 4

HP: 45/45

Vicious hounds who defend their territory with intense ferocity, they often fight in packs of 3 to 5 to take down stronger enemies. Has long fangs for tearing flesh and sharp claws to hold on to and shred prey.

The wolves moved closer to me as I talked, thick slobber dripping down their muzzles. The lead one crouched its legs, bringing its muscles taut, ready to pounce.

Welcome to Combat Training!

The message appeared before being dissipated as the wolf lunged through, towards my throat. I fell backwards, barely dodging the massive wolfand clumsily rolled on the ground, stumbling onto my feet.

*Ping*

Tip:

Dodging is a tried and true defensive strategy used since the dawn of man as a simple evasion tactic. Dodging is connected with Dexterity, meaning the higher Dexterity, the more efficient and graceful your dodges are.

"Would've made Piccolo proud." I said as the wolf came charging back for another attack, snarling furiously. This time I was prepared for the attack, holding the flats of the blades to my chest, rolling sideways as he went for my throat again.

Effective and elegant dodging has increased DEX by 1

I wasn't exactly focusing on the message as the wolf charged for the third time. Not a bright one, this wolf. I decided to for a more offensive stratagem this time. When wolf went for the leap, I raised my scythe, slashing down on its head, piercing its skull. Its corpse tumbled to the ground before bursting into turquoise pixels, like the SAO death animation.

Critical Strike!

I looked up at the sky, searching for the source of disembodied announcer. Apparently, it calls out my kills, just like Halo. "Wonder if I can get a Killtacular?" While I was pondering this profound question, the other wolves decided that they didn't like that I just murder their leader. They both ran at me going in a pincer movement. They stopped a little bit in front of me, breaking off in either direction, forming a circle, trapping me.

"Clever little bastards, aren't cha?" I tried to watch both wolves at the same time, but they were moving to fast. One lunged at my right side, biting into my leg. "SONOVABITCH!" I immediately started hacking at bastard when the other pounced onto my shoulder bringing me down. They clawed at my arms and legs, dropping my health more and more.

HP: 85/100

'Damn it! I have to think of something, anything!'

80/100

I couldn't focus with the intense waves of pain rippling through my body. I could feel their fangs and claws ripping my apart.

70/100

I was going to die in the tutorial like a scrub.

60/100

I couldn't move my arms to use the kursarigama.

50/100

I was out of ideas, out of weapons, out of time.

40/100

Wait, had an idea! I focused as hard as I could on my center, that warm feeling inside, and sent outward.

"[MANA SHOCK]"

A green wave of energy burst out of my body, throwing Wolf 1 and 2 away from me, out of sight, followed by bright turquoise flashes of light, signaling their deaths. I lay there, breath ragged, probably bleeding all over the place, when...

*HONK*

A large banner appeared over my body reading: Congratulations!. I could vaguely hear the sound of airhorns blaring. I hate this fucking game. I laid there, just a wee tired after almost dying.

I had almost died. Not even against a boss fight-esque enemy, but in the tutorial. Interrupting my wallowing in my own failure, was whistling. Which meant someone was passing by on the path! Or it was a bird.

"Help." I groaned out as loudly as I could. "Anyone out there?"

The bushes started to rustle before parting and showing the weirdest dressed kid I've ever seen. He or she, (I really couldn't tell, I'm just glad they're human), was wearing a long green tunic with a bunch of weird embroidery on it. They had brown hair that reached about to the shoulder blade. Kid stared at me, hazel eyes wide and shiny. They rushed over to me.

"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" The voice was still high pitched and melodic, so I was leaning towards girl, but that would be assuming and we all know what that does.

"Obviously not. I am bleeding everywhere." I could barely hear my own voice when I wastalking, making me wonder how the hell this kid heard me.

"No you're not."

"What?" I looked at a bite I felt on my arm to see that the kid was right no blood. Must've been the Gamer's Body.

"Do you want me to go get help?"

I was about to answer when I thought of something. If I was living like a video game character, then maybe I could heal like one.

"No. No, don't do that, but I have a question."

"Yes?"

"Do you have any food?" The kid gave me the most confused look.

"Wha?"

"Do you have any food?"

"Ummmm," the kid turn around and seemed to be digging in a bag of sorts before pulling out a sandwich, "here I have this." I grabbed from the kid and sniffed it.

"Is this baloney?"

"Yes."

"Goddamit." I muttered before shoving the sandwich in my mouth. "Oh God, it's so gross." I frickin' hate baloney. Either way though, I was slowly feeling better as I ate. A box popped up with my health.

HP: 60/100

Probably would have been more if it was an entire turkey. I sat up, shaking off any dirt on me. I saw my clothes were all torn up, mostly my jacket. I stood up, my legs shaking like a sapling in the wind. I looked over at the kid, giving my thanks.

"Your welcome Mr..."

"Clark, Dante Clark."

"Mr. Dante" The kid gave me a sunny little smile, the one only little kids can give that just makes you smile.

"So, kid-"

"Tori." That would have been a point in the girl section, but I've met a guy named Tori before. Kind of an asshole, that guy.

"So, Tori, you must live somewhere near this forest right."

"Oh yeah, my village is just back down the Moonway." Tori pointed excitedly towards the path. "I can take you there if you want."

"Sure." I'd let the little kid lead me into the village and maybe see if her, (still trying to figure that out) parents had some more food and a little info about my location. What could go wrong.

Fyr3Flyt3: A lot things. A lot things could go wrong and hopefully will. Let me start by apologizing for how long this took to come out, I know I said a couple days, but in my defense I was working on another story I really wanted to get out. It's called Black Dawn, it's an OC One Piece story, check out.

Shameless plug aside, I also was probably just being lazy so sorry about that. I'd also like to thank everyone who followed and favourited this story. The first two chapters have had a total of over 400 views and got added to two communities. I had no idea this would be so popular, it was just an idea I had in the shower, so thanks and I hope you continue to read.

Now before I answer reviews, I'd like to say that there will be no official time table for the updates cause I'm bad at doing things within a certain time frame, I'm a procrastinater.

Now to the reviews

DarkLord98: Good to see someone else making a Gamer Self-Insert FF. But I can't help but wonder, what kind of weapon will Dante have. And judging by the egypt comment, I'm guessing he's in Alabasta.

A: I'm glad that your glad that I'm writing this. This chapter should answer that whole weapons question and just going to say this, no he's not in Alabasta. BF, Egypt is just a phrase my mother used to describe being in the middle of nowhere.

BrotherDeath: Interesing beginning, let's see what you'll do with it.

Only one real Question:
Will it be like now, many small chapters or will the later chapter be longer?

A: Thanks, love your name, and yeah they'll probably get longer over time. Some will pprobably be short just because they are. It all depends.

Zarlann: The only lame thing is the additional Stats.

A: Yeah, I got rid of those, they didn't feel right afterwards.

Guest: Not bad. Your chapters need more substance to them. Not necessarily longer just more of something. Your main character is a little too bipolar in this chapter.

A: Thanks. They will be getting more substantial as time goes on. Trust me bipolarism is the least of Dante's problems. Note: is bipolarism a word?

Dedicated4Reading: Great! More?

A: Thanks! Yeah!

Well, that's is for now, if you have any questions or comments PM me or leave a review, the next chapter will be out hopefully sooner, but until then, Bye.
