Stronger, smarter Jaune, skilled fighter, still goofy and dense like cannon but with some tweaks here and there, has almost all the devil powers of Sparda family (and maybe some elements from the DMC remake. Key word being maybe), Jaune x harem (except for Nora, she's Ren's problem *chuckles evilly*)

Action, humor, romance, and more

I owe nothing.

Chapter1: Meet the Hero

Welcome to Remnant; a world of peace, advanced technology, and life. Though it wasn't always like this.

When man first appeared in the world there was nothing, nothing but the dirt that they walked on. Then man began to evolve, not in the physical sense mind you, but more in that they learned to use creativity and ingenuity, the greatest of all tools. Unfortunately, man was not the only thing roaming around.

Demons of the Underworld also wanted this world for their own. Two of the strongest of said demons were the Princess of Darkness Mundus; and the evil witch known as Salem, with her army of evil beast known simply as, the creatures of Grimm.

Things were looking bad for mankind, even when they worked together with the strange half human half animals called Faunus to increase their dwindling numbers.

However, just as it looked like the end was near and the people of Remnant were done for, two miracles happened. The first was that one demon on the same level as Mundus (if not stronger) saw the wrong in what his kind was doing and decided to take up his sword and fight his own race. The name of this demon, was Sparda. The second miracles occurred when Sparda showed man and Faunus the unique mineral called Dust and how to call upon its magical properties.

With their hope and courage returned the people were able to push back the demons and Sparda was able to seal them all away using his own power as a lock.

Well, almost all of them. Turns out Salem managed to avoid her brethren's fate and continue fighting with the aid of her Grimm. This proved to be a problem for her however because the Grimm derive their strength from negative emotions. Which you could probably guess that do to man being filled with more hope and confidence than ever before made that supply of strength to the Grimm nearly depleted. Sadly, Salem managed to escape and go into hiding near the end of the war. Not that it mattered any longer. Man had learned that it doesn't matter what the odds are. What does matter is if you have the will to fight on no matter what.

Now, you might be wondering at this point, "what happened to Sparda?" Well you see, after sealing the gates of Hell along with his most off holis power, he ended up becoming a demon trapped in human form and wandered the Earth for centuries. Eventually, he met a young beautiful woman named Eva, fell in love, got married, and had two Sons Named Dante, and Vergil.

For a while the family lived in peace, but then life took a turn for the worst. Some of Mundus's servants managed to find a way back to Earth and seek vengeance on Sparda by killing him out of belief that he would be easy to slay sense most of his demonic power was sealed. Even though they managed to finally end The Dark Knight, he managed to take a fare amount of his assassins with him.

Those who remained then proceeded to try killing Sparda's family out of fear of what his sons would become. They would have succeeded to if it weren't for Eva putting up a fight of her own long enough to let her sons escape. Sadly, she too met the same fate as her love. In the end it didn't matter, because she knew that her sons were safe and that's all a mother could ask for.

Years later, Sparda's younger son Dante became an impressive (not perfect mind you) demon hunter. He faced many challenges, including a battle against his own twin brother Vergil, who chose the path of power and vengeance. Vergil was so determined to gain power that he almost undid the seal his father made to separate the Underworld from the mortal world just so he could get his father's sword, which held his dormant power. Luckily Dante was able to not only beat his brother but also manage to acquire his father's sword without letting all Hell loose on Remnant.

A few years after that happened, Mundus had managed to find his way back in the mortal realm and would have destroyed it too if it weren't for Dante being able to seal him back into Hell using the now unlocked power of his father, and his own pure will. Dante would then go back to hunting demons, and beat them all till the day he died. And that is the legacy of the Sparda bloodline…until now that is.

(Present day)

Somewhere around the outskirts of Vale, our story takes place in the woods. Everything seems peaceful at first, until the roars of Grimm and gun fire can be heard. Moments later a human figure leaps out of the woods with three different types of Grimm behind the figure. One was a bear like beast with a black body and bone like armor known as an Ersa, and two werewolf looking beast of similar design called Beowolves. The figure that the Grimm seemed to have it out for was revealed to be a young Caucasian man around 17, 6ft 1 with a lean muscle build, dark blue eyes, and white hair with silver tips. For clothing and equipment he had black boots, black and dark grey baggy cargo pants, black hooey with dark grey chest plate over it, red jacket over that with dark grey shoulder pads, both hands covered by a black glove with dark grey plates on the back of the palms, and in his left hand is a 6ft long, 1ft wide, single edge broad sword with two magnums on each flat side of the sword but with ammo clips on top the guns, and a trigger on the handle.

Figure's Pov:

Yep, another typical day for me; wake up, ate breakfast, did chores alongside my sisters, then went out to train in my combat skills. Today however was a change in pace do to the fact that while doing my routine these Grimm came crashing out of the woods looking to cause havoc. My dad was away on assignment as a Huntsman so it was up to me to take charge and protect my family.

So I told my sister's to head back into the house while I lured the Grimm away from home. Once they did as I said, I began to use the gun components of my sword to draw their attention towards me and made a bee line for the woods.

So that's how I ended up at this point. Out in the middle of a clearing in the woods surrounded by three Grimm and all I could say was, "so who wants to go first?" Five seconds later one of the Beowolves made a leap at me, and ended up with multiple gun shots through its body courtesy of me. Within moments it began to fade into black smoke. The other one tried getting revenge by coming at me with a direct slash which I managed to flick away and was just about to slice him when the Ersa came charging in and I had to jump out of the way. They tried attacking me again but I just kept jumping out of their reach with a smile on my face, but then I switched to using long range fighting and shot the Ersa in the eye causing it to be out of the fight long enough for me to go one on one with the Beowolf.

It looked me in the eye for a few moments, nothing making a sound. Then it charged at me with one clawed hand stretched out to hit me, but when the claws were inches from my face I vanished into thin air. The Beowolf looked around in confusion, and then I whistled loud enough for it to hear me and look up just in time to see my sword come down on its head and going through the rest of its body. I stood there a few moments mentally patting myself on the back when suddenly I swiftly turned around and at point blank range fired bullets into the Ersa as it tried to jump me. "And that is why you don't mess with Jaune Arc," I say with a confident smile on my face just as the local Huntsmen showed up only to look at the scene with impressed looks plastered on their faces.

Normal POV:

After slaying the Grimm Jaune was escorted home where he suffered the barrage of hugs and tears of joy his sister's and mom gave him as soon as they saw him.

After they all let go of Jaune they all turn in the direction of a car pulling into the drive way and a man who looked like an older version of Jaune with blond hair run up to all of them and also pulled Jaune into a hug.

"You alright son, your mother called me as I was driving home from my mission and told me what was happened and I tried to drive back here as soon as possible to try and help. I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner everyone." The man expressed with regret in his voice near the end of his speech.

Jaune put his hand on the man's shoulder and said, "Come on Dad, none of us knew this would happen. Besides, I'd say I handled it pretty well," finished Jaune with a smile on his face.

The Arc family spent the rest of the day celebrating and congregating Jaune on his first Grimm slaying.

Later that night Jaune was seen in his room tossing and turning in his sleep until he jolted awake breathing heavily. After taking in a few breaths Jaune looked down at his right arm which was wrapped up in bandages up to his elbow before balling his fist up while holding onto a red gem shard around his neck. He then got out of bed to go get a drink of water to calm his nerves.

However, as Jaune got closer to the kitchen he heard the voices of his mother, father, and someone else talking.

"So situations like this have started happening more and more as of late?" Asked Jaune's father while his wife came to the table and set down a pot of coffee, pored some into a cup, then took her seat next to her husband.

The third member of the conversation, who was a revealed as a man in his 30s-40s with grey hair, green business suit, a pair of dark tinted glasses, and a cane at his side took the offered cup of coffee before answering Mr. Arc's question.

"Not by much; but enough to where I and some of my fellow colleagues are starting to feel uneasy… well more uneasy than we already feel on a day to day basis as Huntsmen and Huntswomen," finished the man before taking a sip of the coffee.

Jaune was so focused on what the adults were talking about that he didn't realize he was ease dropping until he stepped on a creaky part of the wood floor which caught his and the adults attention. Jaune then stepped out into the light for everyone to see him while he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry for interrupting; just wanted to get some water to calm my nerves," said Jaune with a frown.

"Still having nightmares hun?" asked Jaune's mom with concern seeing as her son has been having nightmares for a while now. She and her husband were very worried for Jaune and wanted to do whatever they could do to help, but Jaune just tells them he'll be ok.

"Anyway son, let me introduce you to our guest," said Mr. Arc after a few moments of awkward silence, then remembered their guest and his second reason for being here other than bad news regarding the Grimm.

The man stood up, took a small bow, and said, "Greetings Jaune Arc. My name is Professor Ozpin." Afterwords the now introduced Ozpin took another sip of his Coffee.

Jaune took on a surprised look before asking, "Ozpin, as in the head master of Beacon Academy!?"

Ozpin took another sip of his favorite drink before responded with, "The very same. And I've come here in hopes of meeting you young man. Your previous mentor gave quite the generous recommendation for you to join my school and even gave a report on your skills. Your parents even told me you managed to take out three Grimm on your own before help could arrive."

Jaune was left both speechless and happy that the Beacon Headmaster wanted to have Jaune attend his school. Until he suddenly developed a nervous look on his face and looked at his rapped up arm.

"I also know about you more 'unique' capabilities Jaune," said Ozpin, resulting in Jaune looking at him in shock and fear before the Professor added, "And I want you to understand that I'm the sort of person who believes that any power can be used to do the right thing; Even if others might see it as evil. I'm not expecting an answer now; you have six months before the semester starts. Just call the phone number that I gave your parents and let me know." With his peace said Ozpin said his goodbyes and thank you for the coffee, then left.

For the rest of the night, Jaune laid in his bed contemplating what to do about the offer. On one hand it would be traveling into unknown territory, away from his family, and possible being made an outcast if anyone found out his secret. On the other hand, he could receive new training in fields he had yet to gain experience in such as team work. And who knows he might even make new friends (and maybe even get a date). And even if he still doesn't necessarily get those ideal relationships, the training would still increase his chances of becoming the kind of hero he always wanted to be; the ones who stand up for the good, and rain hell down on the bad. After a week of thinking it over, the choice had been made.

Six Months later

Jaune stood before his family, duffle bag over his back with all his essentials. To say he was nervous was an understatement. This would be Jaune's first time leaving home for an extended period of time; but this was a journey he had to take. "Well… wish me luck I guess," Jaune tried to joke before his whole family ganged up on him in a family hug. After saying goodbye to everyone, our young hero turned around and began to walk towards the airship. "No turning back," Jaune told himself before getting on the craft that will take him to Beacon; his new home for the next four years. And where his life (with both good and bad times involved in it) will began.

Well this is my first story. Hope you all like it. I plan to do better with the next one so please understand this is a beta for me. If you have any suggestions for the future ill be more than glad to hear them. Till then.
