"Alright look, all I'm saying is Blake is the clear better option here."
"And I'm telling you that you're wrong, Velvet is way better than Blake. I mean come on! Rabbit girl over cat girl any day."
Slam!
"I know I did not just hear that bullshit come out of your mouth!"
So you might be wondering what the hell is happening, right? Well here's what happened.
It's a normal Wednesday, just finished the college semester, and I decided to hang with two friends I made during it.
We went over to funny enough, Blake's house, and Adam had gotten to talking about RWBY, nice anime that we all decided to watch a few weeks ago after a random thought I couldn't quite remember.
We were hooked, I was probably the least hooked if anything though, I just listened to the song "This Will Be the Day" on repeat ever since I first heard it.
Anyway, Blake and Adam were arguing over their favorite girl from the show, and Blake had obviously chosen Blake as his favorite. Adam had chosen Velvet because, and I quote, "Bunny girl = amazing sex."
I had to resist the urge to face palm when I first heard his argument but it was past 10 pm when we saw Velvet on screen the first time so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Though I was sure he looked at… different artworks of Velvet then he let on, I just couldn't prove it.
"Alright then, fuck it! ███ Who's better, Blake or Velvet?" Huh?
"Blake, could you repeat that?" Blake looked at me for a moment, his slight annoyance dying as he let out a confused hum.
"You going deaf ████? I asked who you think is better, Blake or Velvet?" Why can't I hear him say my name?
"I think it's over, brother."
"Really? Surprised he even lasted this long remembering." The two conversed in front of me, making me clutch my head as a sharp pain rang through my skull. "GAH! Why the fuck is everything spinning?!"
At that moment, Adam walked forward, in my eyes his body, distorted? It started becoming pitch black as Blake's began turning bright white behind him.
"Don't worry about anything ███, you just aren't able to comprehend us right now." Comprehend what exactly? "When you go back you'll understand, so go back. You can leave your memories and come back to the present."
When he finished speaking, he pushed a finger to my forehead, and then, everything went dark.
――――――――――――――――――――――

[You are one of the few chosen candidate across countless realities to inherit the Chaos Gacha]
Boom! Fireworks!
[As a chosen candidate, you are given three Gold Gacha Tickets to start you off on your journey. We at the Chaos Gacha, hope for your excellence and longevity.]
Blink.
"What the actual fuck." I said aloud, looking at the floating text box in front of my eyes as just about every cliche ran through my head as I felt my brain short-circuit after what just happened. Gacha? Okay cool, but what the hell just happened to me?
Blake and Adam were... I don't even know what they were! They couldn't be human, people don't suddenly turn into colors! As I contemplated what just happened, I suddenly felt the sensation I could only describe as cold water being dumped on my thoughts, calming me down almost immediately as I stared blankly at what I instinctively knew was nothing and everything all at once.
"Holy shit..." Past the floating text box that hadn't gone away from my vision, I could see what I thought were starts across an endless sky, but they moved like galaxies and what people assumed the universe and reality would move if we could actually see it.
Was I looking at multiple universes? I could be looking at realities but I would never know the answer to that question.
Focusing on the text box again, I sighed and decided to go through with the tickets to see what exactly was happening to me. "Well alright then almighty text box, use the tickets."
Rolling Random Gold Gacha...
An Elite Item!
[Hoarfrost Bow]
[Rarity: Elite]
Calamity Mod - A mystical bow made from the essence of the frozen castle that turns any arrow nocked to its string into one made of freezing mist which scales with the power of its wielder.
Uhm...
Holy shit? I never used a bow before in my life but that was cool at least. And I played Calamity but the few times I played Ranger I used mostly guns so I don't know this bow but cool.
Well let's go again then.
Rolling Random Gold Gacha...
A Rare Ability!
[Internet Access]
[Rarity: Rare]
You can access the internet of your local world through your mind and instantly look up any information inside it through it.
Well I don't need a phone to look things up, just hoping the world I'm in actually has internet, otherwise this is useless.
Last spin, please be good.
Rolling Random Gold Gacha...
An Uncommon Ability
[Holy Weapon]
Coats your armament in holy light, enhancing the power and quality of the weapon and making it deal extra damage to dark-aligned beings.
Guess I'll take it, every world usually has some kind of evil being so that's good, and it enhances the power of weapons as it is so neat.
Well I spun all 3 tickets, what happens now?
[Good Luck on your Endeavors, Myst Nix]
Myst Nix? Is that supposed to be my name?
Before I could verbally discuss my confusion, I felt my body get pulled through what I could only describe as a wormhole as I fell into a deep, dark hole before everything went dark.
――――――――――――――――――――――
Blink.
'Goddamnit, again?!' I bit back the instinctive curse that was about to leave my lips as I instead only mentally cursed instead, progress.
I glanced around my environment, I was in some kind of bookstore? Definitely seemed that way at least, a lot of books, old guy at a counter in the center of the building, and weird tube like things along the walls with colorful dust inside of them.
Wait, dust?
Before my thought could fully form, the door was kicked open by a tall man with bright orange hair. He wore a bowler hat atop his head which only partially concealed his hair. The man wore a red-lined white suit with long black pants and black shoes. He also had a gray scarf wrapped around his neck and black gloves with buckled sleeves.
I knew that man, recognized that man, except he was fictional, he should still be fictional. But I'm wide awake and can see him with my own two eyes.
Roman Torchwick, an antagonist in RWBY, and currently, a man standing just a few feet away from where I was with multiple men in black suits around him.
Holy shit, I'm in RWBY?!
――――――――――――――――――――――
A/N: Yes, a RWBY fic, yes I've been gone forever, and yes, I made another story. Go me. Anyway, I started this story because I've been getting obsessed with RWBY recently and I couldn't find many RWBY stories around that weren't made 3 years ago and haven't been touched since.
Here's hoping I can do well on this story as I am currently actually sitting down and watching RWBY for the first time. I know bits and pieces since I've heard of it but never actually watched it, hoping for the best.
Gacha system is made by Bronz_Deck, I take no credit in this system, it all goes to him. Go check him out if you haven't, he has really good stories.
