I had jumped over the zombie but slipped once I landed on the ground, falling face first to a corpse as I-
I snapped my eyes open, and I woke from the dream. Looking around I was in some kind of dark void, though for some strange reason I could see myself perfectly fine.
"You have been chosen", said a voice from my side.
Looking around I noticed for the first time the light, and I could see 「Him」.
At his waist there was a blood stained shroud, blood was soaked from his sides marking the many lashes that were certainly present on his back. On his feet and hands there were marks of nails being run through them, on his head there was a crown of thorns. I couldn't quite see his face or distinguish much of him, but it was clear who he was.
And I was terrified of the implications.
"I-I", I stammered, and couldn't talk further.
"Wash your sins in the 「baptism of fire」, where your true self will be tested. Do not fear, however, for I had not chosen if I didn't knew you were 「capable」."
Still terrified for my life, I nodded.
"Seek the 「corpse parts」 and save the world."
A bright light filled me, and I woke up once more.
[ ]Near the docks of a coastal city, and I could smell the 「oppression」 and 「hopelessness」 permeating the air (Hard mode)
[ ]「Fire」, fire everywhere. Buildings, people, the ground is on fire. A corrosive, 「evil」 feeling emanates from the flames. (Normal mode)
[ ]To a chilly forest of conifers. It's very cold compared with my country of origin, almost like it's 「winter」. (Easy mode)

I got no clue. Way too vague. Maybe Game of Thrones if winter is emphasized but it could easily be the forest from the the Red Trailer for RWBY.

1 - The Cold Forest, Part 1

From Zero to Hero!
The first thing I notice once waking up is the cold. I started shivering and opened my eyes, seeing myself being surrounded by a forest of conifers. While there was no snow, I felt like I was freezing. It was the end of summer back at home, but this is ridiculous. Where did I got dropped into?
Looking at myself I saw that I was wearing a t-shirt and some sweater pants and nothing more. There was nothing in my pockets and I wasn't even wearing any shoes.
Fan-fucking-tastic.

I walked and walked, using that old trick to find where east was by using the sun as a reference.
It was cold, too cold for my tropical sensibilities, and soon I started sneezing and chattering my teeth. I tried to get myself warm by rubbing my arms, but it wasn't enough for me to actually feel better. Still, I persevered.
~~O~~
I didn't knew exactly how long I was walking, only that by the position of the sun it was quite a bit. I think I will definitely catch a cold after this, and since I have no idea where I am that might prove itself lethal. There were other more immediate problems to take into account however.
First I was hungry, it was already quite a few hours since I had dinner and while it's not immediately fatal, it would be a major distraction to me. Second, I was thirsty but I think I can endure a couple of hours more without that being too bothersome. I was also shaking, both from the cold and the walking.
Of course, there was another problem that was much more pressing. Namely, I was being trailed by wolves.
They weren't doing much yet, probably thinking that attacking a larger foe is unwise, or it was some other hunting tactic I didn't knew off. Either way I was being trailed by wolves in a forest with no one nearby, no sign of roads or habitation as far as I could see.
~~O~~
I ran and ran and ran, until I turned around and kicked one of the wolves in the face as hard as I could, before doing my best to dodge another one coming after me, grabbing it at the neck and with as much strength and fury as I could muster I tried to snap his neck.
[size =1]*thump thump*[/size]
The sweet sound of bones cracking was simply wonderful, but sadly another wolf bit into my leg and I had to shake it off by blinding it with my hands, making the animal whimper in pain as it raw away. The last wolf I had avoided growled at me and I meet it's growl with one of my own, before it jumped at me. With a powerful punch I managed to hit it under the jaw and in an instant I was on top of it grabbing at it's neck, before once more snapping it.
Tired, bleeding, hungry and thirsty, only now I realized that I not only didn't panic at the sight of the wolves coming after me, but I fought without hesitation. My own demons and fears had been cast aside for that single, glorious moment.
If I weren't so fucking tired I would have whooped in joy.
~~O~~
Once more I continued my walk towards east, and couldn't find anyone or any sign of civilization. The adrenaline run that warmed me up earlier had already faded, and wounds were starting to hurt at this point.
I tripped on a loose rock, hitting the ground face first. I tried to stand up once more but I was too tired, mentally, at least.
... would this be how I die? In the middle of nowhere away from my family? Giving them the satisfaction of confirmation that I was merely a worthless failure.
Tears of pain started to run through my cheeks, as I slammed my fist on the ground in frustration.
"No...", I whispered, "I'm not going to die like this. Not after just arriving. I am capable, aren't I? Then let's see how capable I am! I, I'm not going to just roll over and die, do you hear me!" It was both an oath and a cry for help.
*thump thump*
Only a pack of wolves answered me.
"I have to... do something", I said as I started standing up, suddenly the cold, the fatigue, the injuries, the hunger and thirst coming all together to hammer at my determination. "I'm not going to die on the fucking tutorial!"
*THUMP THUMP*
A wolf came towards my throat and I grabbed it with my two hands, once more blinding the mutt before throwing it away as the next one came. A kick to it's face it was spinning away from me but another one had came from behind and bit into my good ankle, before another one bit into my arm. Quickly blinding the one on my arm before doing the same with the one on my leg, I rolled to avoid a last wolf coming at my family jewels.
"You need to do better than that!!!"
*THUMP THUMP*
A pair of ghostly arms appeared from my side, shuffling some kind of card deck before pulling one card. It was...

It's the card of The Sun.
Instantly I felt my surroundings start to warm, and the late evening/almost night sky became bright as if it was in the middle of the day. Up above me I saw a glowing yellow disk that reminded me of the sun, though much larger than what usually appears on the sky. Of course that's because it's much closer to me on the sky.
I had more or less an idea on what to do from now on, so I quickly turned tail and started to run. The rest of the wolves were about to start coming after me, but instead were caught in rays of light piercing them. Lasers instead of rays of plasma from the looks of it. I managed to down and kill all the following wolves, before I stopped running.
That was somewhat anti-climatic, but then again I was dealing with mere animals. Once more I looked up, and I was almost surprised by the fact that my eyes weren't burning with the light and heat, and looking more closely I could see that the ball of fire on the sky looked kind of... blurred? Shadowed?
Like it's entity is partway hidden by a curtain.
Still I breathed a sigh of relief at that. I had a suspicion that was my Stand, but not? I clearly remember the ghost arms shuffling a card deck before taking a card.
