chapter2... prologue
In a Dark Void, a woman with long blue hair and purple eyes that seemed to glow was messing around with a Game console, trying to figure out how to play this game called 'Final Fantasy XV' since it seemed fun.
Just then a Blonde girl appeared in the void out of no where and looked around and laid eyes on the Bluenette woman tangled in a bunch of cords for a game console and a TV.
"You uh... need help?" she asked her, causing the Bluenette to violently turn towards her, she looks down before blushing, "Yes please..."
After about five minutes the Bluenette was playing the game and currently stabbing some scorpions to complete the first quest, the two in the void just chilled on the couch.
"So... where am I?" The blonde decided to ask while looking around, she couldn't spot anything other then the tv, console, couch and this woman.
"Ah, sorry, I got a bit caught up in this, allowing me to welcome you to the Void between worlds." She stares at the Bluenette before shrugging and eating some Pocky she got (from somewhere).
"Huh, so Void between worlds... what can be done in this place?" she asked, "Not a whole lot, I'm meant to send you to another world, but I'll be honest..."
"It's very lonely here..." The Blonde nods in understanding, it did seem pretty boring here.
"Hm... could you send me to this new world but somehow keep me connected here? so we can talk and hang out?" The Bluenette thinks for a moment before smiling and agreeing.
"Sure, I can do that, it may be painful though..." The Blonde just shrugs before an overwhelming pain covers her body.
After a couple minutes she is able to stand and see's something in front of her, it seemed to be a text box.
You've gained the Title [Ally of The Void].
Due to a Mixing of power, You've unlocked [The Gamer]
...
"Wat...?" She simply says while turning to the Bluenette, who looked surprised.
"That... Wasn't meant to happen..." she sighs before holding her hand out to shake, "Well, since you got the Gamer Ability I can tell you my name now, I'm Manus, Goddess of The In between and Magic." The Blonde shakes her hand while nodding, "Pleasure to meet you, Manus." she had a faint smile on her face.
"Well... I guess i can give you a quick tutorial on the Gamer Ability, and I'll even give you a reward at the end of it, how does that sound?" Manus stats before another panel appears in front of the Blonde.

Y/N
She presses the 'Y' button and looks at Manus, "How do I pick a 'Style of Gamer'?" Manus smiled before a menu popped up in front of The New Gamer.
Style of Gamer
Here you will have to choice how you want the gamer to act and react to the world around you, certain options will grant bonuses like double EXP, more stat points on level up, bonuses to certain skills, affinities, and much more!
EXP Requirement: [100 EXP x level to level up] - Grants no bonus
Type of Magic: [Normal] - Grants no Bonus
Reaction: [Normal] - Grants no Bonus
Damage type: [Heal bodily damage with HP] - Grants no Bonus
ID Type: [Normal] - Grant's No Bonus
She looks at the five options before her before going into the first one.
She changed it to be 1,000 EXP x level to level up, which gave a bonus of x2 stat points per level and a skill called 'Limit Break' which would allow her to break her limit on her stats for a short period of time.
She Selected Magecraft for her type of Magic, since it was the Type of Magic from the Nasuverse and she really liked all things from that, minus Gilgamesh, he can go suck Enkidu's dick... does Enkidu have a dick? doesn't matter...
Reaction was interesting, it was how often quest come up and when she'll gain skills from actions, making it more difficult gave more EXP but would make it harder to gain new skills through actions, on the other hand making them more common will half her EXP gain, so she decided to make it harder for herself since where is the fun in gaining a bunch of powers?
Damage type... she did nothing with it, she saw no need to as it worked fine before hand, and none of the options it gave were appealing.
ID Type was abit annoying, Normal was the whole ID Create and Escape skill like The Gamer Manwha had, There were two extra options, [No ID's, Monster's roam the land], and [ID Portal's].
The ID Portal's one was interesting, there'd be portal's only she could see and interact with, and stepping into them would take her to a Instant Dungeon to fight through and beat the boss, like normal RPG's where you can't create a Dungeon from nowhere (Stupid Jee-han).
The Appeal of that one was that it'd Double EXP gain, and if they multiplied off each other she'd get 4x EXP, if not and it Stack's it's still x3 EXP, which she didn't know if it applied to skills or not.
Which all the settings chosen, she glance at them one last time.
EXP Requirement: [1,000 EXP x level to level up] - x2 Stat points, Skill: [Limit Break]
Type of Magic: [Magecraft] - Gain Access to Nasuverse style of Magic
Reaction: [Less Often] - x2 EXP, Quest and Skill pop up's are less likely to appear
Damage type: [Heal bodily damage with HP] - Grants no Bonus
ID Type: [ID Portal's] - x2 EXP, Portal's leading to ID's form around the world Daily. (will tell you three closest ones)
Nodding to herself, she closes it before she gets a Notification get's a notification.
Objective 1: Pick Style of Gamer [Complete]
New Objective - Objective 2: Check out you're stats
She raises a brow before speaking, "Status." a panel appears in front of her
Name: ?
Level: 1 (0/1,000 EXP to next level)
Title: [Ally of The Void] - Permanent, [Free Slot]
Race: Human
HP: 100/100
HPR: 0 HP/m
MP: 0/0

Magic Circuit: ?
Affinity(s): ?
Origin: ?
STR: 0
END: 0
AGI: 0
MANA: 0
LUK:0
Points: 10
Money: $0
She looks at it, she was technically dead, but was still pretty insulted by the fact that all her stats were 0, so she decided to put some stats in.
STR: 3
END: 1
AGI: 2
MANA: 3
LUK: 1
Looked good to her for level one.
She checked her HP and see it went up by 50 points, must be the Endurance stat she gained.
She Look's at Manus and spoke up, "Why are there so many question mark's on my status?"
She smiles at the Blonde before speaking, "Well, since you don't know those pieces of information, they are marked out until you do know them, and since you are being sent to a new world, you will be 'inserted' into it, giving you a new name and appearance, but they will namely stay the same."
The Blonde nods in understanding, while not happy she cant know her own information, she'd deal with it later.
Objective 2: Check out you're stats [Complete]
New Objective - Objective 3: Open your Skills
She closes her Stat page for now and open her Skills.

- deals 10% HP to user for every minute in use
MP Cost: 100 MP to cast/10 MP per Minute to maintain
That last one... wasn't as good as She had hoped it would be... then again, if it was maxed out a 100% boost to a single stat can be incredibly useful...
That didn't even put the fact that it could be put onto more then one stat at higher levels!
And that skill, "Is that from the pain I went through to gain this?" a weak chuckle escaped Manus's mouth.
She sighs before closing it can starting the next objective.
Objective 3: Open your Skills [Complete]
New Objective - Objective 4: Check out your Inventory
She shrugs before opening her inventory, but a moment after she gets a notification.
Oh no! you don't seem to have any items, or even a weapon! Why don't we fix that?
Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster, Berserker, Assassin
'Hmm... i guess this would be a starting class select? Well, going with a standard class to get a good base to work off of in combat... Saber would be a good one 'agile and powerful melee warriors armed with swords' She thinks before selecting it.
Rolling Random Sword.
...
...
...
Sword Rolled, placing in Inventory now
That was weird, well let's see this sword then.
[Cross-Calibur - Rank: A+/A++]
Cross-Calibur: Twin Black Dragon Sword of Promised Victory, The Noble Phantasm of Mysterious Heroine X Alter, it takes the form of The Normal Excalibur but with a faint red glow around it's blade.
Damage: 500~1,000
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1~99
... WHO SAID HAVING 1 LUCK WOULD BE A BAD IDEA?!
Eh, it was probably just dumb luck, but at least she had a Noble Phantasm now, while not her own it was definitely going to be useful until such a time as she gets her own.
Objective 4: Check out your Inventory [Complete]
New Objective - Objective 5: Try out combat.
She pulls the Cross-Calibur from her inventory to her hand and gives it a good swing to test the weight of it, it was heavy, but she'd fix that with time by getting stronger.
She readies herself before a wolf seems to appear, and charges at her.
Wolf LV1
Wild Animal
And Slice, Dead... and No EXP.
"Oh, stupid me, the game hasn't really started yet, I'm still in the Tutorial..." she readies herself once more and sees four bear's charge at her, she dodges to the left and swings Cross-Calibur which cuts through it like butter, and carries the sword slice into another one before jumping back to avoid being hit.
She blocks an attack (Barely) and slices it down the middle, and suddenly her body felt a surge of energy.
her sword started to glow a brighter red before becoming a blade of energy, and out the other end of the handle another blade of energy, much like Darth Maul's Lightsaber...
Or MHX Alter's Noble Phantasm Activating...
A mass of energy flows out from her and she charges forward towards the last beast, "Cross...CALIBUR!" and swings with one true strike, a cross of energy forms and disintegrates the bear before the blade returned to normal.
Objective 5: Try out combat [Complete]
New Objective - Objective 6: Talk to Manus
Deciding to put the Sword away in her equip slot to use it quickly if needed, she turned to Manus and smiled slightly.
"You did a great job today, you even managed to activate a Noble Phantasm and your Magic Circuits, why don't you take a look?
She glances at a few notifications that seemed to have appeared.
Cross-Calibur has deemed you worthy to wield it, Noble Phantasm Stat unlocked (N.P: 5)
You have completed the Bonus Objective: Activate Magic Circuits without Manus's help
You have completed the Hidden Objective: Activate Noble Phantasm.
...
"Oh boy..."
"Yeah, you are about to get a serious power up..." Manus stats, confusing her, so Manus continues, "well, that EXP from the mission is the base scaled up to the 1,000 EXP needed, with your x4 EXP, with all objectives completed, is going to give you quite a few levels."

"Manus..."
"Yeah?"
"Thats 4,500 EXP in total, right?"
"Yep."
"And times by four is 18,000 EXP, right?"
"Uh-huh."
"So I will get 5 levels, with 3,000 EXP to spare, half way to level 7?"
"Yep."
...
"Fuck it." She hits the 'Y',
You've leveled up!
You've leveled up!
You've leveled up!

...
"Manus, what does the stat have to be to be E-Rank?"
"100."
...
"By the Root..."
"Yeah, it's kind of over powered..."
"no kidding..."
She decides to check her inventory, four books were in her inventory, one with a name and the other three named 'Blank Skill Book.'
she decided to grab the one that was named and look at it.
Would you like to use 'Determine Affinity and Origin'?
Y/N
Just pressing 'Y' without caring.
Congratulations, You have determined your Affinities and Origins
Affnities: Sword, Energy
Origins: Sword, Energy
You've gained: Incarnation: Sword, and Incarnation: Energy
...
"Manus, do I give the blank ones to you for you to change them to the ones i want?"
"Yep."
She pulls the three books out of her inventory and hands them to Manus, "Just take them and give me Unlimited Blade works, and if possible a version for my Energy Incarnation" after a few flashes of light she takes the books backs and use them.

She looks confused and taps onto her Magic Circuits, wondering why they were so bad in quality...
Magic Circuits are a pseudo-nervous system that spreads itself through the human body and what qualifies a person to be a magus Their normal functions are to act as paths that convert life force into magical energy, but humans learned how to control it and use it to perform mysteries.

"Ah... That explains that... probably to make it so i have to train in order to do the bigger stuff..." she says uncaringly, before her vision fades to white...
Next time on Fate of a Gamer
"I'm burning this place to the ground before I leave..."
"I See you have made it to my lair Human."
"Huh... so that's what it feels like to Forc- Whoa!"
