The Blazing Gamer Prologue.

This begins the first chapter in my first ever fanfiction. I just hope to give readers a good reading experience as this story progresses. This is just the Prologue, with the chapter only being slightly RWBY related, so feel free to skip over it, and read something else, if that is what you want.

He blinked.

He blinked again.

It was the third time that his brain had finally registered through his green eyes where he actually was, a black void stretched out endlessly, with him in a wooden chair, a transparent blue screen, glowing slightly, in his face with one word, "INITIALIZING". A bar below the word was slowly filling towards completion, what it was loading, he had no idea.

In fact, he had no idea what had just happened in the past, what, twenty to thirty minutes? Where was he? What had happened that would put him in this void? His head hurt as memories began rushing back to the forefront of his mind.

"Come on Nathan!"

His eyes scanned the roadway as his friend shouted, wary of any cars in the normally busy intersection right next to his house. Today was Friday, which meant staying up till 3 in the morning playing games and sleeping till the afternoon. All he had to do was cross the street to get to his friend's house. How hard could that be? The traffic was light at best, few cars had been passing through, which had been rare on normal days.

Letting the last car that was close pass, Nathan made a mad dash towards the other side of the street. He almost didn't hear the sudden crash occur. Turning his head, Nate saw a Semi-Truck swerving to avoid hitting an SUV that had pulled out impatiently, they still crashed together, but didn't seem to kill anyone. But, the cargo trailer snapped off under the intense turn, the force sending it flying.

Frozen to his spot, the last thing Nathan saw was the trailer flying towards him, hitting his body head on.

His breathing hitched, then it started getting faster. He had died, and yet he was still alive, why? He had started to hyperventilate when- he sudden felt okay, no panic, nothing. One look at the Blue screen prompted the answer to his unspoken question.

Partial Download complete, [Gamer's Mind] Activated!

Nate didn't know if a mystical power that automatically repressed his emotions like that was a good thing, but it was better than having some kind of panic attack he supposed. What ever this "thing" was, it had just brought him back to life, that, or he is currently hallucinating, and he was in fact in a coma, possibly never to recover. To be fair, he didn't know which one was scarier to him.

Broken out of his musings, the screen had changed once again.

Might as well ride this crazy train, wonder where I'll be going. Nate thought dismissively, he was going to be taken on the "New Journey" whether he was ready or not. Sitting back in his chair he crossed his arms as a Countdown appeared on the Screen. When the timer had hit 1, Nathan felt a weightlessness and a bright flash nearly blinded him as he felt like he was moving within the void. He could just barely catch the final message on the Blue Screen.

Good Luck!

I'm going to need it. Nate thought before darkness filled his vision and he passed out.

Nathan awoke to the sounds of a train on a railroad track, thankfully he was on the train, and not randomly thrown onto the tracks themselves. He would have shot up in shock if this new "Gamer's Mind" hadn't activated again. Instead, he inspected where he was.

The train car he was in was mostly empty, with what few people in the car listening to something on their earbuds, or sleeping. He was sitting in the back, second from last row with no one sitting next to him or across the way. Staring out the window, a blood red forest stretched out from his view, being frequently broken up by red mountains shooting up out of the ground. It was honestly one of the most incredible sights Nate has seen, for a first view of this "New" world, it was honestly stunning!

Snapping back to reality, Nate patted himself down, making sure everything about him was actually alright, he didn't automatically assume this "Gamer" ability would not fix him, but it was better to be safe than sorry. He noted how he was still wearing the clothes he had before he died, a black and red hoodie, a white shirt, and green Cargo Pants.

Running a hand through his Brownish hair, he sighed deeply, finding his voice. Let it be recorded in history as the first words Nathan spoke in this new, unfamiliar world.

"What the Hell."

A/N: With those first words, they end the prologue of this new story. I hope you have enjoyed this first chapter, and constructive criticism is certainly welcomed. I shall hope to update this story regularly, although it may change as school continues.
