Hey guys welcome to my new story sorry for the long wait. I recently came across a REALLY interesting game one that has captured my heart with it's music and made me angry through the small inventory space this game is indeed… Moonlighter and I thought that these two mixing could be interesting I know it will probably be weird in the long run but who knows this for all the fun of it. I will be going into detail how I want to upload things and different Arcs of the story at the end till then WELCOME TO THE PROLOGUE.

Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY or Moonlighter both are owned by their own creators I recommend you check out either if you came here for the other.

It's been so quiet since he's been gone, he used to ramble on and on about the dungeon and it's everlasting beauty. I miss it so much, I crave for it to come back. It won't come back though everyone always said he wouldn't come back one of these days he countlessly proved them wrong. I realize I've been rambling in my mind at least it's keeping me sane. Maybe thinking back on some of the past will help me now so I don't do anything stupid hehe… I'll probably end up like usual anyway.

Flashback

"Now son I've got some bad news your mom and seven sisters will be going away for some time they'll write letters but they should be back by your eighteenth birthday." Jaune looked up at his father Isaac and gives him a raised eyebrow wondering why they left without saying goodbye. "Jaune my boy they had to leave quick not to miss their ride up to Vale while we stay in Rynoka and I teach you all about being a merchant." Jaune looks up at his father pouting. "My boy I know you want to be a hero but those dungeons are dangerous I'll still teach you with our broomstick so you can learn how to fight at least the golem dungeon when you take over but that's it." Jaune stares harder with his frown growing larger. "Look I know I go deep into Golem dungeon a lot but don't be angry at me I do it for our livelihood I don't make much and we both know it." Jaune frown disappeared and now remains an neutral expression then starts saying "Dad I know it looks bad sometimes but I want to be a hero and fight those monsters and make money for us we can't keep accepting help from Mr. Qrow all the time we owe him enough." Jaune looks up at his father with a look of determination written all over his face. Isaac looks down at his son and says "Now my boy heroes are so fancy and elegant but they're in it for the fighting and all but us merchants can either be in it for the money… Or you can be in it like your old man here and be in it for the mysteries. Now Jaune don't you want to find out about the dungeons like your pops here or do you want to be a fighting rootin tootin hero like Qrow." Jaune takes one hand and puts it on his chin debating the pros and cons and replies saying "Mr. Crow is cool and all but I wanna be like you dad since you're the best. You fight monsters and make money from everything you collect in our own shop and even though everyone thinks what you do is a bad idea you ALWAYS prove them wrong. Heroes are cool and all but I wanna be a merchant like you Dad." Isaac looks down at his son with a bright smile and replies saying "You make me so proud son now how about we grab that broomstick and make you the best merchant of our humble establishment the Arclighter.

Flashback End

Dad was everything I could of ever wanted. He was nice, He was caring, He did everything to make me strong as I am today.

*Knock* *Knock* The door open revealing a man with dark grey hair and beer in his right hand. Other than those key details the man also shows off his cross necklace, A giant sword with a red handle and on the blade with etched in markings, he also shows off a white dress shirt and black pants, Those red eyes are one of his defining features.

"Hey kid… You holding up in there?" Qrow looks down saddened. Isaac was Qrows best friend second only to Summer and Tai so this loss hurts him deeply though not as bad as the kid.

Jaune looks up at Qrow and replies "I'm not doing the best to be perfectly honest… I just miss him so much I just want the door to open up with a full backpack and the joy in his voice and yell to me about what he fought today and what he collected. He can't do that anymore though Qrow… He can't do it." Jaune just starts to tear up while Qrow walks up to the kid and starts to hug him. "It's gonna be all okay kid you can get through this and I'll hold your hand every step of the way until you can go on your own." "Qrow is right I need to continue for me and the town. They need a merchant so they can all make their own living." Qrow looks down at Jaune and says "Jaune I know you're only 17 since you aren't of age if you want I can take control of the shop but if you think you're ready open up the shop in around five days and I'll supply you with items to sell for free for three days remember I gotta make a living too you know punk." Qrow always had a way with words but it still makes me happy even if he does tease me.

"Hey kid I have some news though the mayor told me that some people are starting projects to get into this town but need a bit of support in money one of them is my friend Taiyang. While he's getting some money to move in my two nieces are going to be moving in to my place maybe they can help out in town or they can work here. I don't know if you want the help or not but they'll be coming in three days you got that and no flirtin with em ya hear?" Jaune just goes red for a second and looks at Qrow and replies "W-Why would you say that I don't even know them yet!" Qrow just chuckles and pats Jaune and the head and replies "Never change Jaune. Either way I have a job to do so I'll be back later though don't do anything reckless while I'm gone that'll piss me off you know."

Jaune looks at the retreating Qrow and his thoughts return of the past sadly those thoughts return to a grim memory.

Flashback

Jaune was cleaning the shop while thinking of all the things his Father will tell him about today. He can't wait to hear about all the adventures his Father has everyday. He just can't wait!

*Ring* *Ring* Jaune looks over to see the door open and a saddened look on his Father and red puffy eyes. Jaune runs over to his Father and asks "Dad what's wrong why do you look so sad?" Isaac looks down to his son and hugs him while he starts to cry "J-Jaune I'm sorry but I don't think I can tell you a story today s-something really b-bad happened today at w-work." Jaune looks up at his Dad and asks "What happened Dad." Isaac looks down at Jaune dreading to tell him what happened but caves and says "Do you remember Miss. Rose Jaune?" Jaune's face turns a bit confused and replies "Yeah. Why?" Jaune looks at his Father's face dreading the answer to the question while his mind adds his own answers. "Jaune Miss. Rose has disappeared after she was confirmed to have fought the Forest Guardian." You could hear the sound of a pin dropping in the room if Isaac wasn't crying. Jaune's face was unreadable for a flat second than it started to quickly become pain stricken. Summer to Jaune was like an aunt he never had. Whenever she came here for the dungeons she would tell him stories or play spar with him to train the young lad. Now though she's gone and she won't be coming back as the way of the dungeons were. Isaac and Jaune spent the rest of the night hugging each other while crying.

Flashback End

"I need to do this now I have to avenge Dad and do what he always dreamed of doing." Jaune grabs his broom and goes outside with a look that radiated pain and determination. "I'll avenge Miss Rose by downing the creature that beat her even if I'm nowhere close to her level." Jaune walks to the dungeons awaiting close to his village little does he know Qrow is watching close by. Jaune is now standing in front of the Golem Dungeon with a fierce and powerful look in his eyes. "I'M COMING FOR YOU GUARDIANS TO UNLOCK THE FINAL DOOR OF RYNOKAS DUNGEONS!"

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of Arclighter so with that done I'd love any criticism for any help along the way of making this from finish to end I do plan on finishing it because I do love RWBY and Moonlighter a whole lot and if you don't know what moonlighter is you should watch or play it.

To be honest I got hooked quickly but I haven't beaten the Forest Guardian yet I know I'm a terrible person for not beating the game THEN doing this but I couldn't help myself from starting but we aren't that close to the Forest Dungeon yet so no worries. If later in the story I learn of new plot that changes things I'll go and rewrite things but until then the story goes how I want it to go.

I'll be doing the story in Arcs from area to area though for now we're just in the Prologue Arc hopefully y'all are okay with that but it might be slow but I have to get everything finished before we can head on into the first dungeon.

I'll probably take a few weeks for a break to plan things out between each Arc but I might do it faster just depends on how much free time I have at the time.

Polls are most likely a thing I'll be doing with this story either it be a romantic interest I'll do or be it a questing partner.

I will be changing the world up a bit so I'll list some things below that will be changed but it might change in a different way than it is down below later on so don't quote me.

-Not only one person can go in a dungeon at a time. That means that say Jaune can have a part of three MAX.

-Grimm don't really show up I'll be using in game enemies.

-This still has RWBY in it so I might add Aura but I doubt I will though I most likely will keep Dust so certain people can be added to the town for helping with weapon or armor upgrades stuff like that.

-I might add a leveling system like !Gamer AU but that's up for debate I feel it would help with stats and relationship areas. I know in Moonlight there aren't levels but I might do it since it's fanfiction and people write weird things.

I don't know how long this story will be but above 50k would be really nice for me tbh. I would like longer though

So that's all for today expect a new chapter next week maybe. I won't specify a day but I need to drill a schedule into my mind so for now expect next week. Anyway have a good night or good day no matter where you are see y'all later :D.
