I can't lie while I was writing the next chapter for Remnant of Magic this little thing popped into my head and now I can't stop thinking about it, so congratulations you get to experience more of my madness.
Jaune dies in another world as a Martyr he is reborn in Remnant with some cheat like abilities.
This was a brief overview, if you want more read the chapter xD.
[This is a disclaimer, I do not own Rwby or anything else I write about.]
War is never a very pleasant thing sometimes the reasons for fighting are even less pleasant for example here are some of the more insidious ones greed,pride and revenge. Still even though we all know that war is horrible we still manage to find ourselves fighting, but if we must fight please remember that everything is not always black and white most of the time we are all shades of grey.
Two figures clash in the ballroom of a gloomy castle one of the figures is a fair skinned man with innocent charming eyes and a glowing sword, the other figure is far more menacing with a slim pale figure and glowing red eyes. With a flourish of his blade the first man manages to push the demonic looking figure away, but he only manages to gain himself a few seconds before his enemy is upon him again.
The man blocks the phantom claws from tearing his throat out before he once again knocks his opponent away. "Give up Demon King, you can not win this fight!" The man yells his voice tinged in righteousness.
The Demon King only scoffs briefly before flying at the man and once again trying to tear at his throat. "You want me to give up Hero? If I do then what will happen? Surely you will behead me and march down these steps in victory, what happens to my people then!" The King's velvety voice rings out smoothly.
With a swing of his blade the Hero manages to cuts off the King's arm, before once again knocking his opponent away. "I was not offering you mercy Demon, I was just stating a fact, you can not defeat me as you are, the old sage Grimwald has sealed your greatest power and without your magic you are nothing Demon King." The Hero states with a sneer filled with venom.
"As for your so called people, they will be slaughtered in the name of our god." The response causes the Demon King to stop his movement and stare at the Hero in disgust.
"Sadly that was the answer I expected." With a resigned sigh the Demon King launches himself at the Hero once more but is launched into the air shattering the chandelier above. With a dazed look the Demon King falls to the ground only to be knocked into awareness when he feels a cold blade hovering over his throat.
The Hero just sneers at his weakened opponent. "Like I said Demon you are not my match, you have spent far too long practising your Demonic art's, it has left your body weak." The Hero says as he digs the blade into the Demon King's throat.
"Your nothing but a hypocrite Hero without that blade you would be as weak as a farm boy, Although I should expect nothing less from you Humans." With a sneer of his own the Demon King spits a blob of blood at the Hero
The Hero merely smiles before twirling the blade. "Ah the cursed sword Caliburn, it's such a wonderful blade, but enough is enough Demon, do you have any last words?" With a charming smile that would normally win anyone over the Hero mocks the Demon King.
"Just one word, Although I doubt you want to hear it." The Demon King responds brokenly clearly having given up.
The Hero smiles and moves his blade to decapitate the Demon."Wish." A single word uttered out of the Demon King's mouth it is filled with a massive amount of power, the word causes the Hero to jump away as the King's crimson Aura rages off of his body.
"Impossible! Grimwald sealed your Magic, there should be no way for you to use your spells!" The Hero yells in outrage as he shields himself with his blade.
"Ah my wayward student, he did do an impressive job with the seal but he did not think I would burn my entire soul for this one spell, after all this spell is the one thing I vowed to never teach." The Demon King responds in a tired voice.
"Wish the spell that can alter reality itself, normally the changes to reality can only be small ones but with the price of my soul I can change anything I want, so hear my words Hero, I Jaune the Crimson Clad King impact my one rule." Jaune's words cause the Hero to pale dramatically, still not given up the Hero charges the Crimson King.
"Violence is now forbidden, for those who maliciously and purposely break this clause let them burn in hell fire." With his rule in place Jaune collapses, the Hero burst into purple flames and turns into dust as the cursed blade clatters on the floor.
The Demon King stares at the blade as his vision starts to fade to black, without a single regret he closes his eyes and fades.
This should have been the end of the story for this King, so he was understandable confused when he awoke sitting in a chair in a unfamiliar room. The room consisted of two chairs and a checked floor, the walls and ceiling are nothing more than a void of darkness. In one of the chair's sit's the now dead King while the other chair holds a rather stunning beauty.
If one tried to describe her features they be stuck in a loop as they tried to list contradicting things, one moment a blonde another moment a raven haired girl the only thing consistent is her beauty.
Seeing no one else here the King questions the smiling woman. "Excuse me, do you know where I am? I could of sworn I died." The king questioned in hesitance clearly wary of her as she looks human.
She merely smiles as her appearance morphs yet again. "Well you're not wrong, you did in fact die Jaune. As for where you are, well your soul is being judged. So you could call this place the Judgement Hall if you want." The woman chirps out happily clearly excited.
The King just looks at the surrounding darkness and sighs."Ah I suppose it's far too late to be hopeful, so what's the verdict Judge? What manner of hell have I earned." Jaune states tiredly.
"Well I can't give you an exact judgement yet as we are still reviewing your life, I can guess that you would earn Hero treatment." The girl responds in happiness not in the least bit fazed from Jaune's tired tone.
"Hero treatment, you must be watching someone else's memories. I am the Demon King, I'm no hero!" Jaune spits out the word hero as if the word was poison.
The woman just continues to smile. "Good is good, it does not matter what your race is king. While you lived you did not judge upon race, you saved everyone you could." The woman's statement managed to calm the irate Demon.
Her expression briefly flickers in surprise before falling back into a smile. "Ah it appears I made a mistake, you did not earn Hero treatment." Her serene voice rings out, this new information did not really surprise the King.
Seeing Jaune's lack of reaction the woman pouts briefly before her eyes fill with mischief. "It's true that you did not earn Hero status, no you earned Martyr status." She giggles as she finishes her sentence.
The stunned look on Jaune's face causes her to laugh even harder before she calms down. "You are so fun to tease young King, but enough of that it's time for the next step in reincarnation." She states with a musical lilt, Jaune tries to respond but a screen suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Normally a person being reincarnated does not do enough good deeds to earn preferential treatment but you are one of the rare exceptions. Now before you stands a screen with a list of abilities or traits you can buy any of those using Karma points." The judge drones on clearly not as enthusiastic about this part.
The Demon King merely stares at the screen in confusion for a couple of moment but a soft cough from the woman knocks him out of his stupor. Feeling curious the King examines the list of abilities in front of him.
[Karma Shop!][Current point tally: 1000KP]
Absorb.
Acquire.
Alleviate.
Align.
Antagonize.
Apply.
Attest.
[ ]
The list went on and on with thousands of abilities but it was just names so feeling a little reckless the dead King picked a ability that sounded strong, only to jump in shock as the screen changed.
[Karma Shop!][Current point tally: 1000KP]
Destruction. {Cost 300 KP}
This unlocks the Destruction branch of
Magic upon start up.
[Purchase] [Go Back To List]
[ ]
Seeing the new information the King quickly hit the go back button, as he now knew that he could gain more information from the list by simply clicking on one of the abilities. "I know this is a rather odd question to ask, but how long do I have to choose my abilities?" Jaune questions in hesitance clearly not expecting an answer from his Judge.
The woman just smiles at Jaune before answering. "You can have as long as you want, you are dead after all, you have nothing but time at the moment." Her clear answer shocks the Demonic King but he merely nods.
Seeing no need to make a rash decision Jaune looks through every single ability, days must of past but he did not feel tired or hungry it must of been a perk of being dead still with that much time he managed to finally select the abilities that he wanted.
[Karma Shop!][Current point tally: 1000KP]
Recycle{Cost 500 KP}
This ability allows the user to retain
memories from their previous life,
additionally this ability takes all the skills
the user knows and Recycles them.
[Purchase] [Go Back To List]
[ ]
Interestingly enough as soon as Jaune read the description of this ability he knew that he had to spend the five hundred points to get it after all this ability allowed Jaune to remain the person he was, so with little to no hesitance Jaune pushes the purchase button of course nothing magical happened.
Blushing Jaune goes to purchase his next ability.
[Karma Shop!][Current point tally: 500KP ]
Re-Route{Cost 500 KP}
This ability converts all of the user's
current Magic pool to create a system
that will boost their training potential
immensely.
[Purchase] [Go Back To List]
[ ]
This choice was a bit harder to make as there was hundreds of abilities that sounded extremely overpowered but Jaune eventually chose Re-Route, the ability itself sounded a bit vague for his tastes but he considered the fact that he was already overpowered in his old realm and with his memories he could reach the same state it was just a matter of time and this ability claimed to boost training potential. So feeling satisfied with his decision Jaune clicks the purchase button, this time something does happen he feels drained and powerless as if he just spent the entirety of his magic supply. Jaune wants to just sleep but the screen changed again.
[Karma Shop!][Current point tally: 0KP]
Congratulations! You spent all of your
Karma Points, have fun in your new life!
[Reincarnate]
[ ]
Seeing the new screen the woman brings up her own and checks something. "Oh my, I must say you have rather odd tastes, although I can see why you picked those ones. I wonder do you truly understand what Re-Route does?"The woman grins in mischief clearly hiding something.
"You are going to be a interesting one to watch, so don't disappoint me King." The woman states with her serene smile.
Jaune just smiles helplessly before pushing the reincarnate button, again nothing magical happens but the urge to sleep becomes a lot more prominent. The woman slowly approaches Jaune smiling the whole way once in front of him she takes his hand and kisses it softly. "A small gift for my champion, now go fight a new battle young King." She comments softly, her voice is the last thing Jaune remembers as he drifts into nothingness once more.
Jaune regains awareness again but he is greeted with cold, it's rather odd Jaune was sure he felt colder before but this particular cold causes him to let out a startled whine. "Oh look at him Jackie, doesn't he look just like me." A deep and smooth tone startles Jaune which stops his whining temporarily.
Jaune tries to find where the voice came from but several screens pop up in front of him.

Jaune tries to read each window but his vision is blurry, his self imposed mission is disturbed by a warm feeling surrounding him. "Atlas, I think I finally decided on a name. We will name him Jaune after your great grandmother." A weak and soft voice state's right next to Jaune's face.
