((Hello everyone and welcome to the 6th chapter of The Gamer: Jaune edition. I have to say I am speechless. You all are amazing and the amount of helpful and supportive reviews made me smile, which is why I updated another one of my stories early on Thursday. If you all haven't checked out my other new story: (RWBY plus (J)NPR and others React to:) than please do for my take on the reaction genre. Back to the topic at hand; I have taken all of your advice to heart and I will try to cut the skill lists short in the future. Also the winners for the vote from last chapter are: Force, Reflect, and Fly. Which is unfortunate. With Ki Jaune could have learned to FLY for free, but this will also be a teaching lesson for him; to think about his new energies and experiment with them. However I am not unkind. Since the max speed for fly in Kingdom Hearts is like 5 mph I will make it so when Jaune uses Ki to enhance his flight, he will be able to move much faster and coat himself in Ki to shield his eyes from the winds when he goes above 5 mph. Anyways onto the chapter shall we?))

Jaune having looked through the list of abilities decided to chose Force, Reflect, and Fly as his three skills for the last of the Tm's. He thinking 'SKILLS' and read through all of the ones he learned once the blue box popped up. Once he reached the newest additions he saw the white text say:

The young Arc was confused to how he could become faster if he used his KI energy. So being curious Jaune got off of his bed and changed into a dark yellow gym shirt and white gym shorts. The heir walked downstairs and put on his running shoes before going outside in the backyard of the Arc estate. He walking a good distance away from his house so his parents didn't see him experimenting with his powers. Eventually he made it to the beginning of the woods inside of the village and in his estate. It was far enough from home that no one would see and yet close enough for him not to get lost.
So naturally Jaune still curious as to how KI could make him fly faster sat down against the tree and closed his eyes. He focusing on his inner energies and trying to bring out his KI. Unfortunately his control of his Magic and KI weren't good enough to separate the two. On the plus side thanks to his skill: Chakra Control he was easily able to separate it from the other two which was progress as well as gaining himself experience. The sound of a notification from the game however made him open his eyes. He reading the white text on the new blue box and it saying:
(N!): From sitting down and closing your eyes in a calming environment while trying to focus on your inner energies you have gained the skill: Meditation.
The boy curious as to what the new skill did went back to his skill list and went all the down to where it sat below Fly. He reading:
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
Meditation: (Lvl: 1) A skill that grants the user the ability to concentrate on the inner energies of the body and use them separately or to combine them. Also allows the user to make their own SKILLS in deep meditation. Also meditating long enough grants the user's body the chance to Rest allowing for them to refill Mp, Chakra, and KI.
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
Jaune then noticed another notification pop up and say:
(N!): Meditation is not the only way to create your own SKILLS. It can happen randomly, by doing an action, combining SKILLS, doing it, and or by thinking of it enough.
Now armed with the knowledge that could make things easier for himself, the Arc heir closed his eyes once more and used ^Meditation^ to focus on his inner energies. While in the meditative state he chose the KI energy and made it flow throughout his body. The results were that he felt stronger, faster, and tougher. So he opened his eyes and focused more on KI. He saw a notification pop up and smirked as he read:
(N!): From focusing on your KI and enhancing your body with one of your inner energies you have acquired the SKILL: KI control.
The boy grinned at his achievement and stood up from his spot on the ground and against the tree. Jaune using the new SKILL he enhanced his body with the inner energy. He noticed that a fiery dark sapphire blue aura surrounded his body and cracked the ground as well as raising up some small rocks. Jaune felt even stronger before and curious as to how strong he was he turned around to a tree and punched the bark.
What he expected and what actually happened were two different things.
Jaune expected that when he punched the tree that it would leave a small mark in the wood or maybe a big dent at most.
But what actually happened was that his fist punched through it, like a rock going through wet paper. The size of the hole was about the size of a basketball which was big considering his fist was the size of a baseball.
The boy would have wondered why that happened if it wasn't for the fact that another notification from the game drew his attention. It saying:
(N!): Due to focusing your KI unconsciously into one thing you have learned the SKILL: KI/Chakra condensing.
Jaune now interested why his fist could blow a huge hole through solid wood checked his skill list and went to the newest skill. He reading:
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
KI/Chakra condensing: (Lvl: 1) An ability that grants the user to focus their KI/Chakra to a certain point and make it much stronger. The more KI/Chakra condensed the more powerful. It can also be used to make the skin less vulnerable and make it tougher than steel. Effect can only be used if the user puts more KI/Chakra into the attack. Cost: 300 KI/Chakra. Damage: STR + stat bonus and KI/Chakra modifier. Effects: Explode on Impact.
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
The young Arc now curious as to what his KI modifier was looked for it in the stat menu by thinking 'STATS' and saw that he also had a Chakra modifier, so he read both and they said:
KI modifier: (Lvl: MAX) When the body of the user is flooded with KI they gain a significant STAT boost to STR, STM, DEX, CON, RES, and AGI. (+9 to all listed STATS).
CHAKRA modifier: (Lvl: MAX) When the body of the user is flooded with CHAKRA they gain a significant STAT boost to all STATS. (+5 to all STATS).
The boy was shocked and happy that both energies were diverse and helped his body. Chakra it seemed also focused on the mind while KI seemed to only change his body. However to compensate for the lack of influence on the mind KI seemed to make up for it in large amounts of raw strength, power, and speed.
He was confident that one day he would become the Hero this world deserved. That he could stop the racism, the violence, the Grimm, and bandits. All thanks to the power he obtained from Xodia, The King of Everything. That was the name and title his ability The Gamer had said for the God who granted him the power he now had if he remembered right.
Anyways, Jaune was sure that one day he would change everything, but for now?
He had to train.
So the young boy decided to make a training regimen for himself. He would start with basic stretching to make his body more flexible and warmed up for the exercises he had planned. Next were what he saw his father who trained some of his huntress sisters do: Push ups and Sit ups. Since he heard his father tell his sisters that working out in a gym before 14 was a bad idea since it hindered growth in height, and instead recommended regular exercises until their bodies were more developed Jaune planned to do the same. For now Jaune would do 20 push ups and sit ups every day. Next was running. The boy heard that running was a good way to build up stamina and muscle in the legs which were the strongest of the body due to gravity of remnant.
Which lead to a good idea: Use the Force SKILL to add a bit of weight to his body while working out so that once the weight was removed he would become faster, but he had to be careful since too much weight would hinder his growth. So Jaune lent down and touched his shirt and his shoes. He using ^Force^ and then adding the effects of Sloth to them. He figured that would mean he would become slower as a result.
The boy was correct in assumption and infant was slower when walking or moving. So with a grin Jaune began his training regimen; doing push ups, sit ups, and running in laps around the backyard of his house's estate. The walls of the estate, the forest tree line, and the house's back had made the back yard shaped into a circle shape. When measured it would equal around one mile.
...
3 Weeks later Jaune had grown in level as well as in muscle due to the constant use of Force, exercising, and eating a healthy diet for growing. The boy eating many portions for muscle, drinking milk for his bones, and of course using KI to enhance his body after each workout so he did't feel quite as sore. Overall he had gained 4 Gamer levels due to his grinding, 12 Ap, 8 levels in Force, and 16 levels in KI. 8 for condensing and 8 for KI control. Also due to the level ups in Gamer he had gained larger Mp, KI, and Chakra reserves. The amount each energy increased was the same. Each gaining 100 per level; meaning now Mp is at 5400, KI is at 900, and Chakra is at 1400. Plus with the types of workouts he was doing it had increased his STR, CON, RES, STM, and DEX. His stamina now sitting at 1200, his while his STATS had all gained 5.
Of course this was what he wanted. So once the 3rd week ended, he switched to Chakra enhancing his body so he could level it's control. So now that it was the start of another week he went into the backyard and went to the edge of the forest once more.
Jaune wanted to try sticking to surfaces using Chakra and this would be the best place to practice.
So he used ^Chakra Control^ and put the energy into his hands and feet. The boy then began climbing the tree upwards. Once he reached the top, he would begin climbing back down the same way. The thought process for this was if he had 4 different areas were Chakra was then it would mean 4 times amount of control required to stick and 4 times the amount of Chakra. So by that math Jaune thought he would gain levels quickly in Chakra Control while also hopefully boosting the amount of Gamer levels he gained by 4.
Unfortunately while the game gave him good Exp for it, his idea wasn't correct. Climbing with 4 limbs with energy apparently was too easy for the game to give him the amount he wanted. So instead once he got onto the ground he tried only putting Chakra to his two feet and running up the bark.
Now THAT was harder.
Too much Chakra and he would be literally blown off the wood. While too little would mean slipping off. It also didn't hurt that when he used his hands and feet in the angle from before that he was accidentally enhancing his fingers and foot with enough energy to pierce through the wood and cheating his way to the top by using the indents he made to climb easier.
The new way didn't allow him to cheat and was actually giving a lot of exp to Chakra Control since it was the correct way to train it.
It didn't however stop him from switching back to the original way either since Chakra condensing was being leveled up as well as control.
Now his training regimen was 50 push ups, sit ups, 4 laps around the estate, and 10 tree climbs in each lap. This would go on for the next three weeks. Jaune would also not stop using ^Force^ and choosing Sloth effect to make him slower. In fact he never took off Force from his training clothes and only added it to his feet, legs, arms, and torso. His whole body would be sluggish, but when he took off the effect he would be much faster and stronger than before.
He had no doubt in his mind that he would become a Hero with these powers and any others he would acquire one day.
((And that is all for today. I hope you all enjoyed. Please leave a review and any helpful advice to make the story better is appreciated.
