A/TN: If you're new, this is a re-write to an old story, the premise and some events stay the same, though this is more fleshed out and better than the last story.

~Rey POV~
I suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded, my vision also disappeared and I'm left in the
darkness with my thoughts.
[Where... am i?]
My memories suddenly rushed into my mind.
My name, my family, my experiences...
My death.
I fell into the grand canyon because of an earthquake and... let's just say it was brutal.
[I-i died... What the heck?! how am I still conscious... Fuck this mess, *sigh* I'm still alive all the same at least.] Of course still being conscious at the very least is better than losing everything all together.
[Hello lost one, let me help you.] A deep voice that sounded weirdly familiar spoke out to me.
It sounded like it came from all directions and gave me a good spook [Uh, who are you exactly?]
[I go by many names, DIO, Yahweh, Savior, But the most popular one is God so please state me as you please mortal.]
[um... G-god? did I got into heaven?]
I crossed my fingers, wait... where are my fingers actually? I just feel like a floating shapeless blob in the air. 'That's weird, but there's god so I guess that's not important.'
[Nope.]
My hearth sank, I lost all hope easily, 'I hope hell isn't as bad as the bible says.' [So why did I got into hell?] I curiously asked.
[You didn't though? mortal, hell and heaven doesn't let anyone enter anymore, or at least I don't let non saints in anymore, you'll still be transmigrated however.]
[Transmigration? like an Isekai or something... God, am I going to have a system or at least a support of the same caliber?]
[Hmmm... so you're one of those perverted mortals that prefers a system, of course then... though I'll have to review your sins to see if there are any... 'Weird ones']
'Weird ones? what the heck is he talking about?' [... No way... I'm not like that I swear.]
Nope never ever, I'm not a pedo.
[I'll still check, though I believe you, but we can't let be too careful... especially for those people.]
Yep I agree... [Also where's your accent gone?]

After that whole ordeal I was sent to my favorite video game/anime "...RWBY... I can't believe I'm in this place."
God was very generous with his blessings and still gave me a system, though it's a non talking one, with some abilities from JJBA.
Because anything more powerful from that show was quote on quote 'Too overpowered.'
"Though, I should probably find any sort of shelter and check out my system."
First day of transmigrating is gonna be a blast!

"Not bad, maybe? I dunno." I still don't know what the numbers represents, if my physical strength is still the same and a bunch of other factors.
So after waking up I found out that I'm in a forest, and since this place is probably the last place I want to stay homeless, I searched a bit of the forest and found a small hole, big enough to fit me in and just stayed there.
"So... how am I supposed to survive? currently there's no factor that could make me get an advantage or at the very least have a fighting chance against Grimms."
Unless... I also have inventory.
"System, open inventory."

"With this... I might be able to do something."
A small gleam of hope showed itself.
'A chance, and that's all I need.'

Before leaving I studied the profile interface using the system's help feature, I also discovered a music and shop interface, but sadly no map, just a home feature.

(9:40am)

I started by going to a place where it's mostly Boarbatusks, since it's already a place I explored it didn't take me a while to find it again. So the reason for going after boarbatusks is because of their intelligence range and capabilities.
"A boar can't run up a tree afterall."
But it could probably crush it down...
So I took as many rocks as I can into my inventory and climbed on the thickest and sturdiest tree near the boarbatusk area.
"This... should probably strong enough to not prevent them making me fall off, also I think I have enough rocks... But eh, I'll just take some more just in case."
[Rock(1200)]
[Boulder(5)]
. . .
Then I implemented my plan into action.
"First step, negative emotions."
I thought to the time my best friend kissed my crush on Christmas Eve.

- - -
I attracted three boarbatusks to my location,
using my inventory I dropped fifty rocks for each of them though the damage done was not viable however I kept on making the rocks fall, "...Though the rocks are out of reach for my inventory to pick them back up, it didn't really matter since the boulders are my primary weapon for trapping."
"Time to bring out the big guns."
[Inventory: Boulder]
I made them fall onto the Boarbatusks as they desperately try to knock down the tree using Body roll.
Bad news, It worked...
"Oh, I'm in deep shit."
*Crash* The boulder killed one of the three boarbatusks, crushing it turning it to black dust.
. . .
*Crash* The tree fell and now... I'm fucked.
"Dammit!"
I tried to run away however the boarbatusks will clearly out speed me.*Sigh*
"I've got no choice..." A rat backed into a corner will strike back afterall.
[Inventory: Boulder]
*Crash*
I ran and tried to evade everytime they attacked, however I can only do much.
*Huff* *Huff*
I started to lose a bunch of my stamina as I desperately tried to make the boulders fall onto the Boarbatusks...
. . .
[+2 AGI]
[+4 VIT]
The cycled repeated until I eventually managed to kill one of the boarbatusks making me level up.
*Level Up*
- - -
[Level Up]
When leveling up the stats HP and AP go up, leveling up also makes the host/team mate regain all of their HP, AP, and STM/Stamina.
- - -
"Heh... I can't resist smiling."
Look how the tables have turned~
"Time to end this."
I distributed the status points and got ready,
ready for some payback.
[+3 AGI]
[+2 STR]
. . .
I ran towards the Boarbatusk and kept raining it down with boulders (Throwing it out of the inventory the taking it back in.)
It kept resisting however it did what you expected it to do, try to escape.
It was clearly outmatched by my boulder dropping method so it gave up trying to pursue me and tried to body roll away.
"I'm not letting you escape!"

"Hah... I'm sore all over... but I still have to walk back to base." It's too dangerous for me to stay here.
Today's hunt is a success!

I used the home feature to locate my base and for a good twenty minutes of stealth, I was able to return to base relatively safe.

I already ate some, especially while exploring,
though I was bored and had nothing to do anyway so I just kept exploring until it was sundown.
[+2 AGI]
[+1 VIT]
[Aura unlocked]
I went back home and avoided fighting though I was met with a boarbatusk, it was alone so I took care of it easily.
[Grimms killed 4/10]
. . .
When I was back at base I checked my status to see how much I improved in a day.

And I improved in a good place actually,
Seeing my stats go up just made my day way better.
"Hm... I should save my status points, since I could just train and have them go up so I don't need to spend it on those except when I really needed it."
