So I am doing this, if I'm honest I'm not sure if this will even make it to the site but if it does. Hey welcome to this story! I got tired of seeing all the stories where Gamer Jaune becomes a wizard, so this is a Gamer story about what happens when you don't focus on Wisdom and Intelligence and more on the other stats so hope you'll enjoy.

Post writing note: Okay I am sorry I do realize this is too rushed but I am currently unwilling to make it longer and more fleshed out so don't walk into this story expecting it to be the hottest thing out there cause it's not it just is what it is so here you go.

Post-post writing note: I got a beta reader and have now made this longer and more fleshed out, so we have a better beginning.

Jaune's POV

As I ducked under a swipe of a Beowolf, I pondered how I got into this near death situation.

'Well, I guess it happened about a week ago when I discovered my Semblance' I thought. It was pretty sudden, as in "a few seconds after my dad unlocked my Aura" sudden. The jerk didn't stop laughing from my jumpy reaction until I told him what the power said it would let me do.

Also, I do NOT scream like a girl!

Simply put, my semblance called itself "The Gamer", and it turned me and my life into an Action/Adventure/RPG game, which was pretty cool, but until ten minutes ago I wasn't really seeing the 'action' part!

Basically, after doing some small Quests in the form of chores and helping with errands, I foolishly decided to try to fight some Grimm. I'd gotten to level 3 from all the quests, since The Game seemed to love sprinkling EXP onto the most random crap. It had only seemed like natural progression that I move from labor to killing monsters like in other RPG games, especially since I was trying to become a Huntsman. It was supposed to be simple!

But APPARENTLY~, someone put this game on MASTER DIFFICULTY! Without telling me! I didn't even get a say in it! Nor a vote, or anything! Totally unfair!

Because of my distraction over the unfairness of the game's difficulty, the Beowolf I was getting pummeled by was able to get a free shot off on me. It swiped its claws across my chest, cutting through my hoodie and my skin underneath, which put me in excruciating pain, but I forced myself to to power through it.

'I can do this. I can do this! I CAN DO THI-'

"JAUNE!" I heard someone call out, and not even a second later the Beowolf was split in half, my father standing right next to me looking extremely worried. I was about to breath a sigh of relief when dad turned on me with a look of fury and worry.

"Son... what where you thinking?! Coming out here all by yourself, to fight Grimm no less! Do you not understand that you could have died?! Do you know how devastated all of us would have been had you died?! Well, what have you got to say for yourself?" He berated me, and who could really blame him? I was an idiot trying to come out here all by myself when I was such a low level. I wasn't exactly like most video games, they had trained their skills before going out to fight monsters, and some had parties to watch their backs. Me? I hadn't even really learned basic swordplay.

I looked down, ashamed and unable to meet his eyes as I spoke, "I was just trying to get some levels, and well~... things got a little out of hand, and..." I trailed off as I discovered just how interesting the ground can be. It wasn't until I felt a hand on my shoulder that I found myself able to look up, meeting my dad's eyes. I saw a look of understanding, but worry was still present in them.

"Jaune, I know what it's like to discover your semblance and want to try it out and see what it can do, I really do. However, even if your body is like a game character's, that doesn't make you invincible, I mean, what is your health at?" He asked seriously, and I looked down in shame again. I hadn't even kept track of my most important stat. My silence was answer enough, "Exactly, you nearly died. Do you know how devastated your Mother, Sisters, and myself would be if you had died?" he asked in a low voice. I still couldn't meet his eyes, in fact I was even less able to as his words hit me harder than that Beowolf had. I could almost feel HP dropping from the pain the thought brought me, but he was right. I had only thought of myself and the levels when coming out here, not the possible consequences of not being prepared. My dad was right, and I decided to look at my status window.

He was once again right, I had almost died and left my family in grief. I couldn't even think about it, but the truth was right in front of me. I looked over to my dad and said. "I'm sorry Dad. I was being selfish and I didn't think and I should ha-" I was cut off by him taking me into a hug.

"It's okay son. You survived, and as long as you learn from this experience and have gained things from it, it's not all doom and gloom." He comforted me, and to tell the truth he was right, I had gained things from it, "Just remember to be think about what you're doing more than just 'I need to play this level'." he added with a small laugh, and I laughed a little too.

I felt better already, probably from Gamer's Mind, and I swore to learn from this and be more prepared next time.

Not a moment after my internal promise, several notifications popped up.

Because you have learned from your mistakes and understood when one should listen to your elder, you have gained 2 Wisdom and 2 Intelligence.

Because you have survived a near death encounter but by someone else helped you have gained 10 Vitality, minus 7 for not doing it on your own.

Because you have surpassed your limits to overcome an adversary, you have gained 5 Strength and 3 Dexterity.

Because you where fortunate enough to be saved right before you died, you have gained 4 Luck.

You did not level up because you were saved and did not defeat the opponent on your own.

No level up, but I still felt like a new person. I hugged my dad back, enjoying the comfort that he was giving, smiling as I did.

"Let's go home Dad, its been a long day and I just realized that I should train up my body some if I'm going to be a hero like in my games and in the storybooks." I paused, looking up at him, "Y'know, the heroes usually had masters they trained under, so... could you help me?" I asked, smiling at him hopefully.

He nodded with a wide grin, "I thought you'd never ask, son. Come on, let's get home." he we broke the hug, and he led the way as we both walked back to the house to get some food.

...(That Night)...

I sat in my bed, waiting for everyone to fall asleep. Once I was sure they were, I got out of my bed and quietly got onto the ground and started to do push ups. After all sleep is for the weak as they say. As I went I noticed that I got a skill for all this apparently.

Through a specific action you have earned a skill, the skill "Sneak" has been unlocked.

Huh, I guess trying to work out sneakily earned me the skill. Neat! I guess I can take a look at it to see what it's all about.

Sneak (Passive & Active) LV 1 EXP: 30.65%

The ability to remain hidden. Passively makes all movements 3% quieter. Actively makes all movements 10% quieter. All attacks made while actively sneaking and being undetected cause 2X the normal damage.

Active Cost 25 AP a second.

Wow that is really good, but man that active cost is a killer, I could only run it for about six seconds before I was out of AP, but I might as well just do it to grind it up.

So that is exactly what I did, I used the skill for as long as I could, then waited about thirty minutes before doing it again. Throughout that process, I kept working out.

I was determined to become so strong that no one could threaten my family or myself. I could still fondly remember the day I decided to become the strongest.

Flash Back Seven Years Ago.

My dad and I were walking in the woods near our house one day, just a casual stroll nothing too special. When suddenly, I had a thought that had never occurred to me before.

"Hey dad? How come you never wear armor or use a shield to protect you when you fight?" I asked him with a curious tone. His previously whimsical smile fractured and faded away, and he stared off to the distance for awhile, seeming to ponder upon it for a moment before he answered.

"To be honest son, it was just never my style. I always preferred unarmed combat, and all that heavy armor just slowed me down, it just never worked for me. So, one day, I decided that sometimes the best defense is overwhelming physical power. After all, if you can kill the thing that is threatening you before it can attack you, then you have no need to defend, do you?" He finished with a small smile, looking down at me, and I smiled back.

We resumed walking, and I began to think about it more. Overwhelming physical power, huh? Well, if that is the case, then I would become the most powerful of all!

Flash Back End.

Thus, here I am, working out until about six in the morning, and I finally decided it was time to go to bed for a bit. After I stopped and got up to my feet, the soreness in my arms already fading away, a window appeared in front of me, telling me what I had earned from this little endeavor of mine.

Through extensive working out and dedication you have gained 6 Strength.

Because you worked through the pain and the physical harm of your workout, you have gained 4 Vitality.

Skills have leveled through your training.

The skill Sneak has leveled up 9 times.

The skill Aura has leveled up 4 times

Cool! If I keep this up, I will be super strong in no time. I could easily become one of the most powerful Huntsman alive! I could probably surpass my dad, become even stronger and tougher than him, or anyone in the world! I thought it'd be really hard to do this, since getting stronger got harder the stronger you got, but it seemed like this would be really easy! Man, and I thought that Master Difficulty would come with a challenge!

Wait, what is this second box?

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Now that you have a Stat that has reached 25 or higher, it will now become significantly more difficult to raise stats through training. However, because you had a stat reach 25 without using a stat point, you have been awarded 10 stat points.

One of your stats has reached 25, you have been awarded equipment that is corresponding to that stat.

A "Claymore" has been added to your inventory.

... well crap!

"Well, I guess what they say is true: Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it." I whispered to myself before I decided to go to bed.

I knew that with the training my dad was probably able to put me through, it would be a looooong day.

Alright I know this is a short chapter and all that and i'm sorry but hey it happens I am also positive that I got a ton of grammatical things wrong but whatever it is what it is.

Stone out.

Player1 here, beta for this story, helping Stone out with his stuff. As mentioned in the first A/N, we're going to be going back through the first couple of chapters and fixing them up so it doesn't look like crap in the beginning and turn people off of the story.
