Chapter 1
ReBirth to the world of Grimm
Beta By Myscorpian
Hello there everyone, my name is Jaune, Jaune Arc.
Tall, blonde, dorky? Yeah, you might not know me.
No, never mind that, I was just talking to myself. I need to talk to someone or I might go crazy from loneliness. Like, who am I even talking to? There's no one here.
Well whatever, long story short.
I am dead
That was the conclusion I came to after thinking about it for a while. It's hard to accept, not to mention illogical, but it's the only answer I can think of.
My head feels heavy and my memories are still fuzzy, but I'm sure that I'm already dead.
Now you might ask me why am I so sure that I'm death? It's simple, because I remember how I died.
I got skewered by my own sword, by my family heirloom, CroceaMors.
I don't know how or why, but the last thing I can remember was that I went to the cafeteria with Ruby, I remember that we were reading some old book before we went, but I can't remember what happened afterwards.
The other thing I can remember was my last moment. The moment when croceamors impaled itself into my chest, it went straight through my heart, cutting my flesh as if it was a butter. I can still remember the sensation when it happened.
There was no pain, CroceaMors was a really good sword, that much I can tell you. I didn't feel any pain when it pierced me, showing how sharp and lethal my family heirloom was to humans.
I'm sure I died almost instantly that time.
And before I knew it, I'm was here. Floating inside the darkness, all alone.
I don't know how many days it's been since I arrived here, maybe weeks, maybe months, or maybe just a few minutes. Time might not even exist in life after death after allowing .
Still, spending my time in this place with absolutely nothing can be really boring.
No, scratch that. It's the worst torture anyone can think about.
Why did I die?
What happened to my friends, are they safe?
And where am I going now?
I continue to float without any destination in this darkness.
Will I spend all eternity here? Alone? Or will I arrive in Heaven?
I keep asking, but no one answers me.
Well, I already did everything I could do, heaven or hell, I can only submit myself and pray for the best from now on.
I slowly closed my eyes, it doesn't feel that much different from when I have them open either way.
I'm really tired.
So let me sleep for a while.
Please tell me I can at least sleep through this.
But all of the sudden I could see a light.
It was a very bright light.
Maybe it was because I spent too much time in this darkness, but I think it was the brightest and warmest light I'd ever seen.
I can hear some voice from the other.
My body began to float to the light all by it self.
Is it Heaven? Am I finally allowed to go to Heaven?
So this is it…..
Good bye everyone… I hope I can meet you guys again in different life.
Day 1
I was awoken by the sounds of birds and the sensation of winds blowing on my body.
I tried to opened my eyes, but I couldn't do it.
I tried to move anypart of my body, but I only could only make some minor movements.
What happened? It feels like I just woke up from a horrible nightmare.
I can't remember what it was, but I know it was horrible.
My body feels really tired. And although I just woke up I feel really sleepy.
I can hear some voice, but it's not clear.
Seeing as I can't move, I decided to get back to sleep.
Day 2
I woke up to the sounds of birds like yesterday.
Struggling to move my body, I can feels that my movements are better than yesterday.
Still can't open my eyes though.
I spent the rest of my day trying to move, focusing all of my strength to my hands and legs.
After a day of hard work, I sleep like a brick that night.
Day 3
I opened my eyes to see nothing but darkness.
I was undoubtedly opening my eyes, but I still couldn't see anything! am I blind? Am I trapped in a very dark room?
I'm so gonna cry.
Wait a minute, I can see a light. It's not that I'm blind. Nor I'm in a dark place.
I was just surrounded by a blackbreathing wall.
Wait a minute…. it's breathing! Walls aren't supposed to breathe!
I tried to look closer
It's indeed breathing, I can even feel their breath. Then I noticed something else, the breathing wall is covered in fur!
I finally realized the black walls true form.
It's a Boarbatusk!
Realizing it was indeed a Grimm in front of me, I tried to get some distance, but my body is still not moving like I wanted. And then it hit me.
I'm completely surrounded, they're all huge! As tall as I am. And they're all sleeping!
…
Sleeping?
I looked around once more, they're all indeed sleeping.
I never saw or heard that Grimm could sleep before, so this is something new.
These boarbatusk are also different from the ones I know. They're clearly boarbatusk from their black fur. But they don't have bone platting shielding their body, nor they have their tusks which is really weird. All boarbatusk have tusks. It's in their name! and the older the boarbatusk the bigger their tusks.
Judging from their size they must be really old. The fact that they don't have their bone platting and tusks was really weird.
Either way, I need to get out from here as fast as I can. I recognized that I'm in a cave. I didn't't know how I got in here or why, but I know that I need to get out fast.
But I'm really thirsty right now, it's been 3 days since I regained consciousness and I haven't had a drink ever since. Dehydration is serious business. They said that human can go for a week without food, but we can't survive without a drink for more than three days.
I saw a fountain in the corner of the cave and crawled to it. The Grimm were all still sleeping, I guess it's okay to take a drink first.
As I lower my head to drink, it hit me.
Instead of my image in the water, all I can see is a boarbatusk looking back at me.
I immediately turned around to see if the Grimmhave woken up yet. But there's none. They're still fast asleep, nor is there a Grimm besides me.
I was the only one who's awake in this place.
It can't be, can it?
I looked back to the fountain reflection again and tried to touch my face and the image of the boarbatusk in the fountain also touched it's face.
I tried sticking out my tongue and winked. The image followed my movements without even a lag.
It hit me really hard. I tried to find any other explanation to the phenomenon but there's none.
No no no! it's impossible, there's no way it's happening. But there's no other explanation.
I look at my hand and I find it replaced with a hoof
I have to accept the reality.
That Boarbatusk is me!
I let out a girly shriek and fainted on the spot.
Well, at least that part doesn't change.
Day 4
I'm trying to think calmly.
I tried, but it's really hard to think normally in this absurd situation.
Especially with all the baby boarbatusk around me have woken up started to play with each other.
The more I think, the more my head hurts.
This morning, a couple of older boarbatusk came and fed us with some sweet liquid.
I don't know what it is, but it's kinda tasty and filled our body with energy. Too much energy actually, the piglets around me have been running around non stop ever since they drank that liquid.
Was it blood? But blood wasn't supposed to be sweet. Or maybe it's just my Grimmtongue that made it taste sweet.
Maybe that's why Grimm kill humans, because they want to drink their blood?
Well, better stay away from humans then, I don't want to kill them when I'm hungry. I was a human after all.
Seeing as this is not a dream, I guess I might as well give up and live on as a Grimm.
But why a boarbatusk? Arguably one of the weakest and least dangerous Grimm out there.
Is it because I was always blindly charging forward? Or is it because I was weak.
I couldn't find the answer.
Why can't I be a beowolves instead? They look cool! They stand and can act like a human, at least it'll be much more easier for me.
I could only accept reality, no matter how absurd it is.
With nothing else to do, I wanted to try looking outside, but the older boarbatusk told us to not leave the cave just yet.
The day went by quickly after that as I ended up playing around with the other boarbatusk. They're still babies, so they're still kinda cute and nice.
That night, We were told by the older Grimm to sleep early today before they leave. They said that we must save our energy since we will be starting to help with food gathering tomorrow.
In a couple of days the piglets wouldstart working, the Grimm lifestyle is harsh.
Following the older Grimm's order, I laid up on the make shift bed I made from a pile of leaves.
But as expected from kids.
Although we were told to sleep early, the piglets are still full of energy so they began to play again.
Looking around, I can see that the piglets have made their own groups. Either a small group of a pair to a large group of eight.
There's quite a few groupshere since there's around 30 of us in here. With two big groups.
The first big group is staying In the corner of the cave, There's two middle sized male piglets which are surrounded by six female piglets. If I had to describe them as a human,then they'd look like a school celebrity surrounded by his fans.
The second big group is staying inthe other corner, they're a group of thefour biggest piglets in our generation. They kinda remind me of Cardin and his gang, so they might turn into a bullies later on.
And me? Well, There's a couple of lonerswhoaren't involved in any groups, and I'mone of them.
I sighed, and rolled over in my leaf bed.
"I wonder what's my status here..."
It's not that I have been accepting my fate as a Grimm completely, but if I have to live as a Grimm at least I want to live my second life to the fullest. But at this point, the future looks grim. No pun intended.
Out of nowhere, a status screen like from a game appeared in front of me.
