[Jet's Narration]
Sometimes life is unusual, and I find this kinda funny.
Let me explain, my name is Jet Onyx, and up until now I've been a normal High-school Student and I'm a member of the JROTC. My only military experience are from Paintball games, Airsoft games, Military Strategy video games and some military theme massively multiplayer online-only open world role-playing third-person shooter video games.
My life completely changed when I woke up in a completely black area with a holographic blue screen in front of me.
[3rd POV]
Welcome, and congratulations, you have become The Gamer, you will wake up soon in a new, but perhaps familiar world, there you will meet new people and go on amazing adventures with friends.
'The Gamer... wait. I'm The Gamer!? Please tell me there are thought commands because I don't want to yell out my next attack to do it.' Jet thought when he read that.
Would you like to go through the tutorial? (New players are recommended to do so)
"Yes." Jet answered not even using sarcasm because The Gamer ability knows not sarcasm.
Let's begin with basic commands, Commands come in two varieties, Soft and Hard, Soft commands can be activated with thoughts or speech and touch, while hard command can only be activated through speech and touch. Please choose which form of commands you would like to use.
"Soft." Jet said almost instantly cause why use hard commands and risk causing everyone to think that he is crazy.
Now don't worry too much, Soft or Hard commands won't be activated if you use a keyword in the context of a sentence. To continue the tutorial think or say 'Next'
'Next' Jet thought deciding to test soft commands a bit.
Now, what's a game without a Menu of some kind, now open your menu by thinking or speaking Menu.
'Menu' Jet thought and a blue screen opened up with several options.
Status
Skills
Inventory
Quests
Let's start with your Status shall we?
'I wonder if this tutorial is rigid, Inventory.' Jet thought trying to test it.
Don't get cheeky on us, now. Experimenting with the system is certainly encouraged, but for now, let's complete the Tutorial first. Access the Status screen, please.
'So either it has backup routines for when a person deviates or it has a sense of humor. Status.' Jet thought.

This is your profile page. These numbers are critical to you, so learn this page well.
The following are explanations of the various statistics displayed on this page.
Level: This is your current Level. Levels are an average of the power of an individual the higher the level, the more powerful the character is. It is increased by earning
Experience Points (EXP). Leveling up increases your base HP and AP and will additionally provide 3 points to allocate to your stats as you wish.
Title: This is your current Title. Each title has various effects associated with it and are unlocked by meeting certain criteria.
Hit Points (HP): Hit Points are representative of how much damage your body can receive before falling. Damage taken reduces your current HP. If the bar drops to zero, you lose consciousness, whilst if more than twice your total HP is taken in damage, death is possible. For example, if you took more than 160 HP of damage right now, death could occur. HP can be recovered by eating, sleeping or using items.
Hit Point Regeneration (HPR): This is how fast you passively recover HP.
Stamina: This represent fatigue, this limits how far you can sprint or run for a limited period of time and great physical efforts like climbing a cord or a wall or doing moves that requires a lot of strength to be maintained during a long period of time
Stamina Regeneration (SR): This is how fast you passively recover Stamina.
Strength (STR): Strength determines how physically strong your body is. This corresponds to how hard a weapon can be swung or how much weight can be lifted. Your
inventory is also governed by this stat.
Agility (AGI): Agility determines the speed at which your body can move. Speed and reflexes are attributable to this stat.
Vitality (VIT): Vitality measures how tough you are. HP, HPR and resistance to illness are affected by this value.
Dexterity (DEX): Dexterity measures how well you can coordinate your body. Skills such as hand eye coordination or balance are directly affected by this stat.
Intelligence (INT): Intelligence determines how smart you are. The higher this stat is, the faster your learning rate and your maximum AP.
Wisdom (WIS): Wisdom is how well you utilize knowledge provided to you. This affects intuition and APR.
Luck (LUK): Luck is, well, luck. The higher this stat is, the more probable an outcome is in your favor.
Stat Points: This is the amount of points you currently have to allocate amongst your core stats.
Experience Points (EXP): This is representative of your progress between levels. Completing quests or training of skills increases this value.
Credits: This is the amount of money you currently hold.
Condition: This is your current state of being. It directly affects your current stats.
Hmm, your stats really don't look like anything spectacular, here let's give you 5 Stat points to alter your stats so you can stand out a bit more.
'I bet it won't let me continue until I use those points, okay let me think. Strength will allow me to hit harder, Vitality will allow me to take more hits and resist illness, agility to move faster, Dexterity would allow me to move faster, Wisdom would increase my rate of which my AP regenerates, and Luck would be that factor that saves me a little time in various things.' Jet thought as he examine his stats.
[By calling upon your memory you have increased your INT by 1]
'Oh goody, free point! Let's see... I'll put 1 point into Luck every time, 2 points into DEX because I prefer to avoid damage than try to block it, 1 point into STR because that never hurt anybody, and my last point into VIT for safety.' Jet thought applying the stat points.
[Your careful planning on how to apply your stat point has increased your WIS by 1]
'Okay let's stop that right or else I'll be in this tutorial forever, because these things go up really fast early on.' Jet deadpanned when that happened.
[By understanding lower leveled stats rise faster you have increased your WIS by 1]
Jet felt his eye twitch.
Good, now I believe that a gamer like you knows about most of the things listed in this screen, if not refer to the manual available in the Help section that will be available after the tutorial ,now let's return to the menu.
'Good, I don't have to listen to the things I don't care that much about learning right now, Menu.' Jet thought.
Now let's go into the Skills menu.
"Skills." Jet said deciding to use his voice.
Gamer's Mind Level: Max
Description: the Ability to calm down during times of stress/adrenaline to make critical analysis/observation of current surroundings/events.
Gamer's Body Level: Max
Description: When taking damage, the body will receive a mild sense of pain, but will soon disappear, leaving only a decrease of the Health Bar or Aura Bar and no other physical remnants of damage taken.
Observe Level: 5
This is your skills list, while it may seem like you don't have very many now, you will gain many more within the coming months.
Now let's return to the menu
"Return." Jet said, then once the menu showed up. "Inventory please."
An empty screen appeared. So polite, this is your Inventory, perfect hammer space disguised as a backpack to store anything and everything you can horde, the backpack contains supplies to keep you alive for 72 hours ranging from food, water, ammunition even a gas mask, it's empty right now so let's get you something, take your pick.
A Weapon.
A Skill Book.
A Cookie.
A Drink.
"Oh choices... Okay the cookie would be nice, but a little impractical right now. So Weapon or Skill Book. Hmm... A new skill would be nice but I think I would prefer a weapon, that way I won't be limited if I get a situation skill." Jet said with that being said a pistol appeared in my inventory.
[Your careful consideration of the choices given to you has increased your WIS by 1]
Jet pulled out the pistol from his inventory, "Observe." Jet said focusing on the pistol and information appeared.
A Heckler & Koch HK45 Tactical (HK45T) with an extended threaded barrel for suppressors, high profile front and rear tritium illumination night sights and Streamlight TLR-2 laser/light combo. [Magazine Size: 10, Caliber: .45 ACP (11.43×23mm)]
(The HK45 was designed to meet requirements set forth in the U.S. Military Joint Combat Pistol program which had the purpose of arming the U.S. Military with a .45 ACP semi-automatic pistol instead of the 9mm M9 pistol. The Joint Combat Pistol program was suspended indefinitely in 2006, and the M9 pistol remains the standard issue handgun for the U.S. Military. The least the United States Naval Special Warfare Command adopt a model as the Mk 24 Mod 0 Combat Assault Pistol for Special Forces.)
To the left of your inventory is your Equipment screen, while it's not necessary to use it to alter your equipment, it can sometime be faster than what you've got equipped, now let's check out the last screen, your Quest screen.
"Return. Quest." Jet said returning to menu.

Tutorial
Jet Onyx woke up and found himself draped across a tree branch far above the ground.
"Come on couldn't you put me on the ground or something?" Jet muttered to himself as he readjusted himself so that he is leaning against the trunk.
[Intelligent System Analytic Computer is activated. All ISAC Systems are confirmed online.] ISAC's artificial voice reported.
Jet almost jumped when he heard that sound as the HUD activates itself and started to stream data on to his eye-ware, he could see his Health Bar, Aura Bar and his Stamina Bar on it.
[Pick up your highlighted primary weapon to begin weapons verification.] ISAC's artificial voice ordered.
Jet then noticed a weapon highlighted in orange hanging on to the tree by a hook through it's sling.
"Observe." Jet said focusing on the weapon and information appeared.
Heckler & Koch MP5 MLI with threaded muzzle and RIS foregrip.
(The Heckler & Koch Maschinenpistole 5, literally meaning Submachine gun 5 is a 9mm submachine gun of German design, developed in the 1960s by a team of engineers from the German small arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch (H&K) and is one of the most widely used submachine guns in the world, having been adopted by 40 nations and numerous military, law enforcement, intelligence, and security organizations. The Heckler & Koch MP5 MLI (Mid Life Improvement) is an upgraded version of MP5 revealed in late 2013. It is fitted with a tri-rail foregrip, a quick-release-optic mount, an MP5F stock standard, and now comes in the new RAL8000 (Yellow-Brown) color scheme.)
Jet stop his observations and pick up the MP5 and started to get a feel of the weapon, then he noticed he could see the current ammo of the weapon which is 30 rounds in the magazine and 390 rounds of ammunition in reserve.
[Weapon test initialized. Open fire at the highlighted targets.] ISAC's artificial voice ordered.
Jet look up and finally noticed wooden targets hanged on trees at various rages only 2 are highlighted. Carefully he took aim and fired a burst, the recoil causing some of the shots to miss, after taking a better grip to handle the recoil he fired another burst this time all the shots landed on their targets on the center.
[Primary weapon test initialized. Open fire at the highlighted targets.] ISAC's artificial voice ordered. [Switch to your sidearm to begin weapons verification.] ISAC's artificial voice added.
Jet pull out the HK45T from his drop leg holster and check the chamber for a round, then he noticed he could see the current ammo of the weapon which is 10 rounds in the magazine and infinite rounds of ammunition in reserve, which means it's a weak gun against stronger enemies.
[Weapon test initialized. Open fire at the highlighted targets.] ISAC's artificial voice ordered.
Jet took aim again and this time he noticed that the highlighted parts of the targets are it's tights, shoulders and center mass. Carefully he took aim and fired a few shots, the recoil causing some of the shots to miss the shoulders and tights while perfectly hitting the center mass, after taking a better grip to handle the recoil he fired a few more shot this time all the shots landed on the targets on the shoulders and tights.
Jet holstered his sidearm before his Smart Watch from Tom Clancy's The Division started beeping signalling a call. When he accepted the call a box appears on lower right corner and a Sound wave box appear.
{Welcome abroad agent. This is William Shepard, Vale Kingdom Section Commander of The Division. You have been activated because our intelligence has confirmed the existence of a new threat that is unlike any we have seen before, this organization has the ability to carry out attacks anywhere in the world, they are highly lethal and indiscriminate of age and race, the potential for the loss of innocence lives and psychological terror is substantial and cannot be ignore. They are the very definition of an unknown quantity. Our only action is to meet force, with force. Now ISAC has updated me your status. Now proceed to the nearest civilization and connect to the Division Network and find your way to Vale to join Beacon Academy, your transcripts has been sent in advance with other agents.} William explained to Jet.
"Great." Jet muttered as he check what's on him, he saw the drop leg holster and a military backpack with the Division Go-Bag Computer-Beacon.
"Ok." Jet mused as he decided to check his status, "Menu, Status." Jet open the menu and status on his Smart Watch.

"Okay can I get my EXP and Condition moved closer to my level, this i just annoying right now?" Jet muttered as he put a finger on 'EXP' and tested a hunch and dragged EXP to just below level and then did the same with Condition.
"YES!" Jet cheered when he suddenly got another ping.

'Well… it's a start.' Jet thought as he jump out of the tree and landing on his feet like a gymnastic.
[Your show of agility for landing on your feet has increased your DEX by 1]
'Yippee ki-yay!' Jet thought sarcastically before picking a random direction and began jogging with his MP5 at the ready, unbeknownst to him a Raven was watching him before flying off.
[No POV]
The camera zooms out of Jet's location and into a massive map of Remnant where more Gamers appeared and are moving towards the closes Civilization.
On the background is the Division Network chatter with various players reporting in when they reach Civilization.
What do you think of this story?
This is a request from my friend and I was inspired by some RWBY fanfictions so I thought why not.
So please Read and Review so I could make a better story.
