Chapter 1-4 (exceptional

Utah Urban

I sighed as I walked next to the floating creature.

”So...name....I know your name.”

I sighed.

”But I need a name too, something with a U would be ideal... has to be allative, something that rolls off the tongue. Utah.”

I paused, the creature didn't speak.

”Well I think it's a decent name but maybe something else? United? Urban? Utah Urban... sounds alright.”

I rolled my eyes as I heard a rustle in the bushes, the beowolves roared.

”Suspicious minds, you got this?”

The stand moved, ripping the beowolves apart with its hands. The things moved fast but it wasn't muda fast, I took a breath and flew into the air and froze as if anchored to the ground. I used the mobility to try to keep out of the way as my stand took care of the actual fighting. Was it brave? Hell no but I was tired, hungry and irritable. Just three of them... I landed on the ground.

”So I do appreciate the 'second chance at life' thing and, f_u_c_k, this beats Worm. But the clothing?”

I shivered.

”Who the hell decided it was a good idea to purposefully put a bunch of holes into an outfit! I mean I'm thankful to not be dropped here completely n_a_k_e_d but did they have to give me this outfit? I mean I could handle Speedwagon's outfit and Jotaro's outfit was awesome. I'd even take Dio's outfit, and I look horrible in yellow, at least it would be warm.”

I continued to walk onwards.

”A new outfit. First thing we do when I can afford it, a new outfit.”

”I'm not kidding, this outfit is terrible. I mean you can't possibly think that a criminal would wear this and expect to be taken seriously. Even Italian gangsters would say this looks horrible.”

I smiled as I saw a community, the people looked at me and grimaced at my outfit.

”Um, son? What happened to your clothes?”

I bit down on my lip and cried.

”Grim killed my parents.”

There were looks of sympathy. I knew what world I was on, I just needed to find out where I was and when I was. Once I did that, I would be all right.

Chapter 2

Utah Urban

Asbec

It's a small rural farming and logging village that also does some mining.

It's large enough to be sustainable, rich enough to afford a few hunters. There are maybe 50,000 people here, tops, with most of them near the mountain.

”Thanks, Utah.”

It's a stepping stone for me, a place to learn about what I'm dealing with, get some lien and figure out what I can do.

”You're welcome, um.”

”Of course.”

The mine foreman gives me some money, it's maybe half what an actual engineer would get to fix equipment but it gives me money. So what have I figured out? I'm a f_u_c_k_i_n_g child again, I have no family ans no friends but I have powers. I have an aura and I know how to use it, My semblance gives me the power to fly, I have a stand and I just get how the tech works here. That last part is important because being able to fix things gives you the ability to earn money.

I took the lien and flew over to the bank where I took out enough to pay rent on my shack. Old man Henderson was odd but he let me use the fully furnished playhouse he had built with his son before he moved out. As for education Remnant let people test out because all hands were needed and I was more useful fixing stuff around town than in the one room schoolhouse. I knocked on the door and the man looked out, I put the money into his hands.

”Rent.”

”Hmm. Good.”

He counted the money and shut the door. With that done, I went out into the forest to hunt grim. It was a simple life, get up fix things around town and collect money, eat, go fight grim, mostly the wolves. People didn't stop me, I was an orphan and people had to care about their own families. The attitude tended to be that if I came back alive that was great, it I killed grim great there was less grim but If I died... well it's not like I was family.

And I have been doing this and surviving for what... 3 months now? I should be fine. I flew over fast, going through the trees with minds following me, and I saw the wolves ahead.

”Strike!”

They never knew what hit them, and then I heard a bell-like click in my head. I decided to fly back to town, it was getting dark and I wanted to figure out what was going on. When I got to my shack I cooked up some mixed can vegetables and took deep breaths. While my food finished cooking I sat down and closed my eyes.

I saw a book with two names, mine and Minds. I also saw white chess pieces.

”King, Queen, Bishop, Knight, rook, Pawn.”

I looked up the information, all of them had costs associated with them and abilities.

The king could increase an attribute by 9 times and had 13 improvement slots. A queen could increase an attribute by 28 and had 11 improvement slots, a bishop could increase an attribute by 14 times and had 7 slots. A knight could increase an attribute by 9 times and had 5 slots, a rook could increase an attribute by 15 times but only had 3 slots and a pawn could only double an attribute and only had 2 slots.

I had a maximum of 1 king, 1 queen, 2 bishops, 2 knights, 2 rooks 8 permanent pawns and 8 temporary ones. The temps could be lent out for 24 hours before the powers vanished but once I gave out or used a piece that was it, I couldn't get another.

My food smelled bad, and I looked up special abilities.

I looked at the list. It seemed that in order to get anything it would cost grim. Having killed 400 of them I could now buy a pawn, temporary or permanent.

Pawns cost 400 dead grim to buy, rooks cost 1800 dead grim, knights 1500 dead grim, bishops 2100 dead grim, a queen cost 3900 dead grim, and a king cost 2200 dead grim. Increasing attributes also cost dead grim, buying slots cost dead grim. Essentially, in order to get power, I had to go out and fight grim. I steadied myself. What did I want? Remnant was over all just a shitty world In general but what it did have was smoking hot women.

Waifus as it were....

I looked at the map, I didn't know where I was in time but I knew where Patch was... I would tell people I wanted to become a hunter to avenge my family. Lots of people had that story, what was one more? Now all I had to do was get there.

I put my first grim points into the king piece and started my journey, remembering the moto: first the money, then the power, then the women.

Chapter 3

Utah

800 questions, four sections of 200 questions, and seven hours to complete the test. It cost me 50 lien to take this test and I waited nervously. The proctor came out, looked at me as if appraising me, and then frowned at my outfit.

”What happened?”
