Let's break the game

by ArnoldStroong

When you start a new game, you typically want to get as strong as possible quickly, even if that means grinding for days at a time. Well Fuck that, I'm lazy. Finding yourself in a new world with the gamer ability, well Getting strong means getting hurt at times. Well, If there was ever a game I got my hands on, I'd find a way to break it. And now I'm not doing It alone.

7. Chapter 7: TTIGMAKBALSP

Extry stuff at the bottom, such as Poll results.

Chapter 7: That time I got my ass kicked by a LV 60 paladin

Raven stood atop a mountain, Looking towards the lake in front of her.

'He has a good head start on me, but I can fly. I just need to be on the lookout for him. He doesn't have aura, so he shouldn't be a problem.' She nods and transforms, flying low through the trees.

'The fact that he sold an authentic beowulf claw as well, means that he found a way to actually get them off of a beowulf he killed. He's of so many uses to us right now, If one could make weapons out of Grimm Materials, we wouldn't have to worry about out of date weapons.' Raven perches on a branch, just on the edge of the water, scanning the surface of the lake. She spots some footprints, and flies over, finding that they stop after a while in the mud.

"Clever boy." Raven says aloud, quickly looking around to make sure nobody heard her. Satisfied that nobody did, she looks across the lake.

'He hid his tracks to make sure that nobody would follow him. I like that. He most likely swam across the lake to make it a shorter trip. Strong swimmer. That's about two and a half miles of lake to get across. I doubt he sunk, so He's got even more distance on me. I'll just keep tracking him.' Raven silently flies over the lake, and through more forest.

Out of a bush, an orange-haired girl pops out, looking at the raven that flew over the lake.

"I knew it. Renny! I heard a bird talk!"

Time in Dungeon: 9 hours

'I'm never coming back in here once I get out.' I say once I finish off a Greater Water elemental. I exhaustedly sit down, leaning against a cerulean pillar, Underdog resting on my shoulder.

You have Leveled up!

I glare at the screen and sigh. 'Put eighteen into WIS and two into DEX' I don't feel any different, however, as I'm exhausted.

"Hey, isn't SP what makes me tired? Its full right now, so why am I fucking tired?"

Check the top left of your vision

I sigh and look, finding a few words that came into vision.

Total Fatigue: 90/100

'Aight, what does this mean?'

Your total fatigue is the fatigue you gain over the course of time. You have been fighting for nine straight hours, taking about five minute breaks at the longest. This adds up to your Total fatigue before you need to sleep. SP is your stamina at any given moment.

'Ah. Why are you telling me this now and not when the tutorial was going on?'

Bombarding you with information at the beginning would mean you'd forget more faster. And it is only coming into play here.

I open my mouth to say something, but close it again, opting to close my eyes and rest for a while. I don't do so, however, as I see another blue box I didn't notice before. It reads:

For reaching level 100 in WIS your MP has been raised to 50,000! You have acquired the skill: [Wise Warrior] {Passive}

"Cool. Now I gained another PASSIVE FUCKING ABILITY!" I shout the last part in frustration, clawing my hands in the air. I mutter under my breath: "What does it do?"

[Wise Warrior]: When using more Technique-based attacks, ATK, Crit rate, and Parry time are increased.

I raise an eyebrow and look up, closing my eyes. 'That's not bad, actually. I doubt Yugai would be effective here, even though its a technique, Its the base technique, and I only know it because the system, so if I were to actually learn a new one, it could be beneficial to me.' I sit there, eyes closed and breathing softly.

For sleeping on an extremely uncomfortable surface, your Fatigue has decreased by 5, and your AP/MP/SP have been restored by 5%!

I open my eyes and purse my lips, getting up from my place beside the pillar. 'Alright then. Let's keep going.' I approach the door and pause, seeing a screen prompting me.

This is the final room, containing this dungeon's boss. Are you prepared to fight it?

I deadpan and say:

"Of Course I'm fucking ready. I don't want to spend any more time in here. It's a damn shame that I couldn't figure out how to use Enchant weapon, though. Eh, whatever It's time to be IMPULSIVE!" I yell, kicking the door. I don't succeed at all, however, as my ankle just crumples against the solid door.

"OH DU VERDAMMTER SCHEIßKERL!" I shout out, hopping around on one foot, grabbing my ankle.

You have broken your ankle! Your AGI has been halved!

[Broken Ankle] has been nullified by [Gamer's Body]

Your AGI has been restored!

[Gamer's Body has leveled up!}

I hiss in the pain as it fades, and my ankle seemingly cracks back into place as if perfectly normal. I testingly put my foot down, finding it perfectly normal.

'Note to self, Don't kick down big ass doors possibly made of solid gold or some shit. God damn that hurt, even if it was just a second.' I shake my head and put both of my hands on the double doors, pushing them with all my might. Honestly, it felt like opening a big ass gate in Dark souls with how long it took and how the room seemed to shake with the sound alone.

Upon opening the doors, Light floods the room, as torches on each wall light up, revealing a giant circular room with an almost absurd amount of pillars. Each room prior had about six pillars each, with three on each side of the room, and were about two feet thick. This room, however, had around twenty-eight pillars, each being a foot thick. I ready Underdog and carefully walk in, not seeing anything yet.

'What's so special about this? How is it any different from the Deathstalker I killed earlier?' I almost jump out of my skin when I see a blue box pop up in front of me.

The Difference between a Boss and a Miniboss, is that Minibosses are limited to what they can do in the overworld, as to Bosses that are generally contained in dungeons, have almost free reign over what they can do, including certain abilities that typically only a 'Gamer' would have. One such example would be magic.

I nod and press forth, scanning the room. I don't find anything, however, as I find myself facing a wall. I turn around and the door closes, the room only being lit by the torches on the walls.

'Well isn't this jus-'

Sense Danger!

My eyes widen as I duck, narrowly missing a massive steel ball aimed for my head. I dive forward, readying myself with Underdog as the ball smashes clean through a pillar. I can't properly see the figure, however as it moves again, raising another massive object. I quickly dash backwards just as a massive object slams down on the ground, cracking the ground and even causing a small shockwave. The room begins to light up, revealing my assailant.

It was what one could only describe as a knight with Cerulean Nazgul armor, only without an opening in the helmet, just two slits for one to see out of. It wielded a massive spiked flail, at least four feet long and a shield almost its own size.

Sizing it up, it appeared to be a least nine feet tall, head to foot. Observe

High Water Temple Paladin

Title: High Worshiper of the water Goddess

LV: 60

HP: 100,000/ 100,000

Special Ability: Taunt. Taunt: if used, it has a 80% Chance to have all enemies in a 60 foot radius target the creature.

I open my mouth and say:

"Well I'll be damned. A red name." The highest level entity I fought in the dungeon was a level 45 Elemental, and that was only really a doozy because it took so damn long to kill it. This, however, is 15 levels above that, and it's more humanoid in nature, not to mention armor. I stand up straight and back up a little, as the Paladin raises its shield in a guard.

'Alright then, It has a massive health pool, as well as that armor, which I'm not sure will act as actual armor, or if it'll be just added to the HP. Either way, I need to be careful, since I have no idea exactly how I'll fare with something like a flail.'

I smack my lips quickly dash backwards, trying to put more space in between us. I take out my shurikens, holding each of them in my right hand. 'I haven't used these yet, but I'd say that ranged is a better way to go about this fight. Aim for the neck area and throw!' I threw the Shurikens, sinking directly into both the pillar beside the paladin and the ground just under the paladin's feet. It paused briefly, and advanced on me.

Unlocked skill: [Bladed throwing]

'Ah. I guess that explains my shitty aim.' I watch as the paladin raises its flail above its head and I raise my own sword, aimed for just under the ball of death, I catch the chain with my blade and widen my stance, the ball barely missing my head and hitting the Paladin right in the face with the steel ball. It isn't even fazed, however, as it bashes me with the shield. Knocked flat on my ass, I kip-up and am immediately met with the flail directly to my shoulder.

It struck with a surprising amount of force as I flew across the room and directly into a pillar.

AP: 40,000/42,000

"GAH! FUCK!"

'That fucking hurt! And the even 2,000 Damage!? This is already a totally different level than the last room!' I slide down the pillar and get on one knee, looking over the figure. I find a single spot towards its neck and nod, running directly towards the Paladin, Sword at my side. It doesn't show surprise or any other emotion behind its helmet as it raises its shield again, leaving some clearance below. I grit my teeth and slide. Sliding under the shield, I strike the Paladin right between the legs, and recover, Jumping up and striking just under the helmet, and above the neck armor.

CLANG!

'Well… That's not good.' I deadpan, the Paladin raising its shoulder and trapping my blade in its neck. It flails around for only a second, before it freezes, swinging its flail backwards, hitting me directly in the back.

AP: 39,584/42,000

'That didn't do a lot. Actually, he's more intelligent, I can tell. He's trying not to hurt himself. Good for me, but I'm still going to get whittled down. Think, how do I take someone down with this amount of armor. Cause Its not with a sword. He has thick armor, a shield, a flail, and probably chain mail under his armor. He's literally my antithesis. So I should...' I get an idea and let go of Underdog, grabbing under the chin of the helmet, pulling with every ounce of strength I have. Unfortunately for me, Its not enough to pull it free, since the Paladin drops his flail and reaches up, grabbing me by the throat, and tossing me across the room like a rag doll. I hit the floor a few times before I scoff, getting up and freezing.

'I left underdog there, didn't I?' As if to mockingly answer my question, the Paladin grabs my sword from the crick of his neck and waves it around, tossing it aside, as well as his shield.

'Is… If Fucking chivalry saves me, I'm going to be pissed.' The Paladin cracks its knuckles and starts waving its hands around. 'Is… He's moving like a waterbender, what's going on?'

Sense Danger!

I dash behind a pillar and peek around it. Its arms form and X releases, sending out a blade of water. I turn back around as a pillar beside me is rocked, with a deep groove in it. I look in awe as the wave blade passes by me, stopping at the wall.

'Okay, that's an AOE. That effects everywhere. Duly noted. Now about the fact that I've been disarmed.' I peek out, and find the Paladin menacingly walking towards me. Smack my lips and dash away, running towards my sword, when my face meets a translucent wall. I'm dazed for a moment and realize its a wall of water, suspending itself up.

'The shit? He's… A… Paladin… Okay, It makes sense now, He has magic as well as physical prowess. WHY DID I CHOOSE THE SHITTIEST CLASS POSSIBLE!? I LITERALLY REGRET ALL MY CHOICES AT THE START!' Its not untrue, Any other class, from reaper to a fucking cleric would fare better here. Why a cleric? Fucking SMITE. That's why. I shake my head, and look back to the paladin. It stretches out for a second, before sprinting full tilt towards me. I stare blankly at it for a moment, before dashing directly to the left, narrowly avoiding the massive armored figure. It smashes into a pillar, effectively cracking it. I waste no time in looking at it more, and sprint towards my sword.

[Sprint] Activated!

[Focused Strike] Activated!

I snatch up my blade and hold it at my side, still sprinting in a wide arc.

'Alright, Focused hasn't failed me before, so I hope you don't fail me now.' I scan the area, finding several different pillars a little closer than others, and nod, now watching the Paladin closely. It shakes itself off, and retrieves its weapon and shield, tracking me.

I'm circling around it as it tracks me, not even turning its body. Its head follows as I circle around the room, waiting for my opportunity. I grit my teeth and try to read it.

'It's covered everywhere, even the chinks in the armor. That means I just need a strike heavy enough to break through. So for the heaviest strike possible, I need speed and gravity on my side. If Dash can get me anywhere horizontally, there's nothing saying that a vertical dash isn't possible…' I dash diagonally in the air, kicking off of one pillar, and another, finally getting to the roof. I kick off and heave downwards.

The Paladin simply raises its shield, however, and bounces me off. Feeling the shock of my blade reverberate into my arm, I grit my teeth as I fall, trying to breathe.

MP: 29,080/30,000

'That went about as horribly as it could ha- GAHHFH!" I finish my thought as a single cry as the Paladin slams its Flail into my back, effectively cracking the ground and halving my aura.

AP: 19,750/42,000

HP: 3,750/4,000

'Ah. Fuck me.' I try to get up as the Paladin fucking punts me across the room. I let go of Underdog, and fly around, hitting the opposite wall. I struggle to breathe as I get on my hands and knees, trying to re-center myself. The paladin swings its chain around a little as it lets go of its shield, and places its hand on the ball of the flail.

Listen closely if you want to survive.

I blink twice as the box blinks away, and I take its advice, listening to the room intently. I hear water drip, and a soft whisper say:

"citereh siht evomer ot em wolla rehtom raed"

As think this, the Paladin's ball lit up, as it picked up the shield and heaved the flail backwards.

"That's… Oh shit!" I narrowly dodge a pillar of water, which crushed everything in its way, originating from the ball of the flail.

'Is… That was magic, and not just any magic, He enchanted his weapon to Smite my ass! What language is that, though? I doubt he'll say it again, so I need to focus on it. Citereh. I have absolutely no Idea what the hell that is, or if that's even a language.' I dash behind a pillar and check my SP.

SP: 480/950

'Fuck. Okay, this has already taken a lot out of me. I take another couple of heavy hits and my aura is gone, then He gets free crits all day. If that was actually magic, then I need to figure out how to use it, and what exactly that incantation is. I just need to get my swo-' I peek around the pillar and see the Paladin picking up Underdog and sheathing it in his own sheathe, which was empty.

'Or he can have it. It looks like a fucking dagger on him anyways. Well what the hell am I going to do. I could try to use my Shurikens, but They aren't reliable right now. My sword is gone, and I still don't know how to use magic. I… I'm out of ideas.' I peek again, finding that the Paladin is wasting no time in trying to bait me out, and is charging directly towards the pillar I'm behind, raising the flail above its head. I make a small squeaking sound and dive out from the pillar, getting hit by some rubble as the flail passes cleanly through it. I recover, but not before getting shield bashed again. I'm dazed for only a moment as its immediately followed up by the flail smashing me in the side.

Once again, I'm sent flying across the room and into another pillar.

AP: 10,000/42,000

'Okay, I need to End this, quick. Think of what he said: citereh siht evomer ot em wolla rehtom raed. That literally means nothing to me! Its fucking Satanic talk… Its…. Magic, Satanic.. I got it! I just… FUCK IT!" I yell, getting off the pillar. The Paladin starts running at me, full-tilt, and raises its flail.

"I can't believe I forgot about this!" I quickly open my inventory, and grab what I'm looking for.

Common Sword: Common, Common

A common sword, often used by travelers to get from town to town.

+10 ATK

'The irony of the first person who tried to kill me, saving my life.' I run my hand along the blade, from bottom to top and mutter:

"kaerb fed edalb tnahcne."

The blade glows orange, and seems to shine, as I can feel the blade become slightly heavier.

[Enchant Weapon] DEF Breaker magic. -100 MP

I open my eyes and nearly jump at how close the paladin is, and am about to jump when it slams its shield into the ground, a red glow outlining it.

Taunted!

[Gamer's Mind] Could not Negate!

My vision goes red, as I take a firm stance, and hold the sword to my head, blade pointed directly at the shield charging me. I dash forward, and pierce directly through the shield. A loud CLANG can be heard through the room, as well as a grinding of metal on metal, as I flip up, feet on the shield, and slide the blade right out of the cracked hole, and heave, slicing right through the armor on the neck, barely nicking the "flesh."

Skill Learned: [Shield Breaker]

The paladin is obviously surprised as it drops its shield, attempting to grab me. I lean forward, and pull the blade out, grabbing Underdog from out of the Paladin's Sheath.

"This is mine!" I say, flipping Underdog in my left hand as I take the other blade, and hack at its back. Its mostly ineffective, however, as I'm rewarded with sparks, and a backhand to the face. I'm only pushed back a little, though, as I stand back up on my feet, and switch hands.

New Sword style learned!

I ignore the box for now, as I cross the blades together.

"kaerb fed edalb tnahcne" I slide the two against one another as they both become orange.

'Good to know that works. Now, I do believe its time to get myself some reckoning.' I approach the Paladin as it tosses its shield aside, now useless. It grabs the flail with two hands, swinging horizontally.

'I guess this is a secret Phase two. If I'm lucky I can use Underdog to pierce right through the armor. I just need to get close, since he's swinging it wildly, I doubt he's got more than a grapple or two.' I switch hands, holding Underdog in my Right, as I get low, and dash directly forward, and Sprint immediately afterwards, Zooming right at the Paladin. I push off the ground, and leap over the flail. Doing a frontflip, I bring both blades over my head, and strike at both shoulderblades. Underdog, cuts straight through the armor, and deep into the Paladin itself, while the other blade barely makes a crack in the armor. I slide the blades off and land on my feet directly behind the Paladin. I roll forward as the flail sweeps right behind me. Looking back, the paladin's left arm is limp, while the right holds the flail. Looking in the helmet, I can barely outline a red glow right where the eyes should be.

I take a step back and raise my swords.

'Okay, I don't really know how to use two swords at once. I… Oh. I remember one combo, and I hate myself for knowing… The things you do to entertain a six year old.'

I dash in, leading with left to right slash, with Underdog, I follow up with an uppercut slash, performing a full spin in the air.

"I-"

I land, and strike left and right, with both blades, getting low and spinning again, striking with both swords from left to right again. Jumping, I perform an X- slash with both swords leading downwards, and once I land, I jump again, doing the inverse.

"Fucking-"

Doing a buzzsaw slice, I fall down on the Paladin, effectively slicing the Armor. I land, and heave upwards with my right blade, slicing deep where I cut the armor. I leap forward and jab with my left sword.

"Hate-"

I finish off, with jumping backwards, and dashing and jumping forwards, leading with Underdog.

"KIRITO!" I lunge with all my might, effectively stabbing through the paladin, it going limp. I pull out Underdog, and scream.

"FUCK KIRITO!" I fall to my knees, putting my head on the ground. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHAAAAA!"

You have learned a combo Skill! [Starburst Stream] Cost: 1,000 MP

'I hate myself with every fiber of my being for using this.'

Water Temple Paladin

HP: 1/100,000

I scramble to get up, but am too late as it grabs me by the throat, lifting me in the air. Choking me, Its eyes are completely red now, glowing from out of the helmet. It slams me in the ground so hard, I bounce off the hard surface. Before I can do anything, it brings its leg up and stomps on me, cracking the surface even more. I let go of both of my swords, and struggle to breathe. It raises its leg once more, and is about to stomp, when I reach out and almost cut my finger on a small, sharp object. My eyes widen as I grab it and hurl it at the Paladin.

It strikes true, as it narrowly enters the crack in the Paladin's armor, and bounces out almost harmlessly.

The paladin struggles for a moment, freezing up completely, before a ton of water spills out from the armor, and it falls, sopping wet.

I groan aloud, and retrieve my shuriken, placing it back in my belt. I lay flat out on the floor and chuckle.

"That could have gone worse."

AP: 5,000/42,000

SP: 130/950

"Yeah. Much worse."

You have cleared the [Low Mid tier] Water Dungeon!

+5,000 XP

You have leveled up!

For beating the Dungeon, you have acquired [Blade of water] Sword style tome!

Sub-title: Bane of water.

I stare at the screens for a moment and say:

"Is… Is that it? That's all I got from clearing this hellhole?"

You have earned a plethora of skills to use when in combat, as well as two new sword techniques. If you ask me, That's pretty good.

I sit straight up, and groan.

Total Fatigue: 99/100

"You've got to be shitting me."

Dungeon boss defeated! Returning you to the Overworld…

I open my mouth and say:

"Thank christ."

'FUCK YOU, SYSTEM!' I think immediately afterwards, as I'm nearly drowning under the surface of a lake. I burst out, and swam a short while to the shore, crawling up onto it. I stand straight up, take a few steps and collapse, leaning up against a tree. I look around for a second and realize its sunset, with the sky being a beautiful orange and purple.

"Hey, at least its pretty, and I'm alive. I'm just going to nap now." I close my eyes and lean back, although uncomfortable, I'm able to fall asleep, without a worry in the world.

For now, at least.

That… That's just unsettling.

*A couple months ago, I was playing DND and my group did this exact thing. I forgot to mention this last chapter, but Real-life bryzan kicked the door and broke his ankle on a solid gold door, and the rest of us couldn't find out how to get into the dungeon when it was just a push door. Yeah, we're smart.

Okay, I'm here to bring you a daily dose of cringe. I apologize for this being a little late, but Christmas and shit. Yeah

I hope you all know that I really had to shit on Kirito a little, I mean, You had to have seen it coming… Right?

Now, A few things I should probably address, one being the issue with Raven. Don't worry, we'll meet her soon enough, You'll see. And with teams.

I actually had a team planned out from the beginning, before this poll, and it only makes it even more interesting to see the results. And NO Bryzan will not stick himself in JNPR or RWBY. He's going to be on his own team.

Lastly, The issue with magic.

I know that Magic is a wondrous thing and all, not to mention its literally in the storyline of RWBY, but hear me out-

Magic systems are Janky. Look at any two shows that portray magic in them, and you'll see what I mean. There is no solid way to portray magic. There's two systems when it comes to magic: Soft system, and a Hard system.

A good example would be Avatar the last airbender, and Harry potter.

In Avatar, Bending is something considered Magic, bending the elements. What you can bend is based on your knowledge of the marial art its based off on. In Avatar, there are constant ways of learning new techniques, metalbending, lavabending, energy bending. Its for the most part, endless.

Now for Harry potter, Magic is a completely hard system. You say a word with a wand and magic occurs. You can't make up a new spell, since Waving a wand and saying random sounds won't yield you any results.

Now I know you're thinking: "Arnold, what's this got to do with RWBY?" That's where My point lies, I don't know where RWBY's Magic system lies. They stick out their hands and magic happens. Literally.

Now one might think back to ozpin saying his magic was nearly gone, and this brings another problem:

If Salem's end goal is to get the Maiden's powers from Cinder in the end. (More about that in future chapters) If Two people's magic energies were to be fused into one, and that were enough to rule the entirety of the world, exactly how strong is one human? This brings another problem with Gods! They're literally nothing special from their creations, who if two of them teamed up, could rule a planet as what was basically a god. But then the gods pull some bullshit "I'm a god, lol." So magic doesn't apply to them!

Don't even get me started on the one Magic fight we get in the show, which is Cinder VS Raven. We see earlier that Cinder does a giant FUCK YOU LASER that kills Ozpin. Why not do that later? Why not use that against raven or Raven do that against Cinder? But NOO they have to use giant fucking fire and ice swords to duel each other with. Not to mention the end of that fight, where Raven freezes Cinder from a distance. Why not do that earlier?I understand its an epic fight, and its awesome, but if you can do something like that at the start, just do it! Its not out of character for raven to do so.

Its frustrating, and I have little intention of dabbling into magic. We'll get some, of course, but Still, I fucking hate how magic is portrayed here.

I understand that I sound like I'm bitching about things that don't make sense here, and quite frankly I am. But I'm not flaming the show itself for being shitty or whatnot. I'm just a little frustrated with how little has been explained about one of the more important aspects of the show. Y'know apart from silver eyes, but that's intentionally kept a secret.

Anyways, my rant is over.

So poll results are in, and I'm excited to see them. So without further ado, Drum roll please!

Ruby 4

Yang 1

Weiss 1

Blake 6

Velvet 6

Coco 2

Vernal 3

Neo 6

Malachite twins (Yes, both of them) 9!

Reese Chloris 1

Neon Katt 1

I… I'm a little surprised! I expected Either Velvet or Neo to come in first, with neo being the lead, but I guess not! Either way, I feel like I can have some fun with the Malachites, since I have a lot of free reign with their characters, seeing as we don't see them much.

Also, Tristan Mabey, I like how you think, a man of true culture.

So The Malachites are our winners! I'm looking forward to this, since it seems like it could be fun.

One little detail I forgot to mention previously; Underdog is a Broadsword, not a Katana or a shortsword. Just thought I'd clarify.

Second, The cover art is Genji from Overwatch as "The Swordsman"

Its where I got the name of the outfit.

So I think that's it! Sorry again that this is a bit late.

I hope you all had a merry Christmas and have a happy new year.

(As a Side note, My parents unknowingly got me a smut book for Christmas… I'm Seventeen. Thanks guys.)
