After being kidnapped and thrown into a VRMMORPG, 17-year-old Suzuki Mato must find the line between his real and in-game personalities before it kills him. ***** Following the death of his popular online persona, seventeen-year-old Suzuki Mato decides it's time to retire from professional VR gaming. However, his plans are abruptly cut short when he's kidnapped from his high school and forced to be a guinea pig for Genaco Gaming, the world's largest esports and entertainment company. Armed with nothing but his wit and a new online persona, he's thrown headfirst into the virtual reality of "Live No Evil," a VRMMORPG littered with overpowered bosses, secretive NPCs, and backstabbing gods. His mission? Find a way to conquer this new world and get back at the company that took over his life, all while avoiding 'Parallel' -- a condition that would make it impossible to separate his real and virtual personalities. Because in a world obsessed with VR gaming, Parallel means death, and Suzuki just doesn't have time for that...

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY. Rooster Teeth does. I only own my character and the events I put into the arcs. -AU- In the Kindom of Vale, Warren Shnee is king. He was happy until his wife, Crystal Schnee, bore him two kids. One was born 8 years before the other, they named her Winter. The other was also a girl, Weiss Schnee. Until one day when Warren's wife comes home with yet another baby in her arms. Unlike the other two, Warren is happy about this baby. It's a boy, nearly the same age as Weiss. Rei Schnee, Crystal decided. Rei was constantly over-shadowed by Weiss, not because he was less skilled but because he was far more shy. He didn't like revealing his fencing skills unless Winter was there, and when she wasn't he was sloppy. He rarely spoke to anyone outside of his normal routine, he barely made any attempt at conversation. Despite that, Rei doesn't mind his life. Actually, he enjoys it. He loves that his older sister, Winter, constantly praises him in front of their father. It helps his shyness somewhat. He loves the solitude he gets every now and then, locking himself in his room with his books until his mother calls him. But what if something happens when his mother is no longer there? What happens if his father blames him? What happens if he runs from his previous life?
