I feel something poke my cheek.
"Sean... wake up... please..." June Quietly says as she pokes my cheek again.
I slowly open one of my eyes and wait for the blurriness to go away as I look to the clock.
5:26
"it's... 5 am June... why aren't you asleep?" I quietly ask as I close my eye again.
"I uh... couldn't sleep..." She admits.
"You had another bad dream... didn't you?" I ask as I look into her deep blue eyes.
"Yes..." She quietly says as she looks down.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I ask her as I sit up and pat the space beside me.
"Mhmm..." She sniffles as she nods and sits down beside me.
For a while now, June had been having bad dreams, it probably had something to do with her maiden powers... I not a fucking scientist alright! but in the past year it seemed to slow down or stop...
She is quiet for about 10 uncomfortable seconds.
"So, uh..." I begin.
"You..." Is all she says to begin with. "The dream was about y-you... d-dying..."
"Well, then how did I die then?" I ask, actually curious as to what could kill me in her mind.
"You were standing in front of two people, a short girl with blond hair, wearing a red dress, then a slightly taller girl with white hair and a black dress... then you just started... v-v-vomiting blood... you fell to your hands and knees, b-blood pouring out of your nose..." She whimpers out, tears threatening to cascade down her face. "T-t-then the blond haired b-bitch walked over to you and s-stabbed you through your back with a spear..."
Tears actually start sliding down her face.
"Shhhh..." I say as I pat her back "It's okay... that didn't really happen... it was just a dream... and even if it wasn't I would be fine..."
"H-huh?" She mumbles, completely confused.
"Well, you see June..." I start as I look her in the eyes... her red puffy wet eyes. "as I am now, that wouldn't actually kill me..."
"W-what?" She asks.
"My semblance would keep me alive..." I say as I curl up into a ball and lay my head back on my pillow.
"Y-your semblance?" She asks.
"Yep... As long as my hp doesn't reach 0 I would still be alive... so technically my head could be removed from my body and as long as I have a single hit point left... I would still live..." I say closing one of my eyes.
"H-hit point?" June asks, again in total confusion, Tilting her head to the side at a 15-degree angle.
"It wouldn't be pleasant of course... but I would still be able to walk it off after my health goes back to max..." I say as I close my other eye and attempt to go back to sleep. "Goodnight June..."
"it's okay June..." She whispers to herself. "He won't die that easily... it was just a dream... not a reality... so no need to be sad or scared because of it- wait..."
She gasps. "No... don't tell me... that your semblance actually makes you a game-character..."
"I won't tell you... but that still doesn't stop it from being true..." I quietly call out as I try slightly harder to go to sleep.
"How?!" She asks. "How did you get such an overpowered ability... don't you get stronger for just existing... and being a half vampire don't you live for like 200 years or something?!"
"300 to 700 years..." I sigh as I get up again. 'no real point in even trying to get more sleep I guess... school starts in just over 2 hours so It won't be much more than a nap anyway I guess...'
"300 to 700- oh... I can see why... you would be saddened by... your family..." June says, getting slightly distracted from her dream.
"But you literally have UNLIMITED power!" She exclaims as she leaps to her feet and points a finger at my face.
'you are lucky we are in some of those 'solo apartment' things, where it is just a single small two-story building with no-one owning the bottom floor...'
"Oh! Yesterday before Yang showed up, you told me that you 'were checking to see if you can find a way to make your family live longer' so, did you find a way with your mythical gamer search bar?" She asks.
"Yes... though it is a little unconventional... and I don't really know if I SHOULD do that... if I am going to be 100% honest..." I say as I get up and walk to the kitchen.
"What is it?" She sarcastically asks. "Is it turning them into some kind of golem or something?"
"Nope, but you are right about the 'turning them into something' bit." I say from the kitchen as I get a Sprite from the fridge.
"Oh... you can turn people into vampires... can't you?" She quietly asks, slightly stunned.
"Half vampires, but yes..." I say as I take a sip of my Sprite and sit down beside her, tossing my pillow over to one of the other chairs.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Awkward silences am I right?" I say trying to break the tension.
"What does being a half vampire gain again?" She asks.
"you aren't seriously thinking about becoming one, are you?" I ask.
"Maaaaybe..." She sighs. "It would allow you to not be so lonely, even if it was only just me you turned into a half vampire."
"You do realize that it is a 1 in TEN THOUSAND chance, right?" I ask her. "So, I would have to bite your neck... ten THOUSAND times on average... or maybe less because of my higher luck stat..."
"J-just tell me the perks and disadvantages of being like you, ya little shit." She sighs as she leans her head back on the couch.
I sigh once "I'll start with the disadvantages, using actual percentages because my semblance gives it to me..."
I take a deep breath before beginning. "You take times 1.5 damage from fire and times 2 damage from attacks based on light... you sunburn easily and even glancing at the sun is literal AGONY... and... that's actually about all I can think of at the moment- oh wait, I think your eye color would change to be like my own, or at the very least, your pupils will become silted and glow slightly at night..."
"Those... aren't too bad actually..." She says as she taps her chin in thought.
"The fire damage and the laser damage stack... so if you got shot by a laser rifle using a fire dust crystal as ammunition you would take times 3 damage... still... nothing compared to vampires though... if they still exist that is... a vampire, if my calculations are correct, would take TIMES 8 damage from a fire dust laser rifle..." I add on.
"Still not too bad if the perks of being a half vampire are huge..." She counters. "Now, the perks..."
"You see 10 times better at night than a normal human, you can smell things twice as well as a normal human... and you can hear three times as well as a normal human... You might unlock my kind of magic... keep in mind, I said MIGHT, not 100%… and you gain several special abilities... I have 6 currently unlocked, but I might gain more in the future..." I list off.
"What are your special abilities?" She asks.
"I am 20% resistant to electricity and cold, I can summon mist where I can feel people inside, basically telling me where they are, and what they are doing... limiting their vision while increasing my own... then I a +20% buff to Strength and Dexterity and for the purposes of spell damage, a +20% buff to Int at night or in a place of TOTAL darkness..." I continue.
"Of course, you get stronger at night..." June comments. "and now I know why you bite your ice-cream like a freaking psycho..."
"When I hit with punches, kicks, or any other part of my body, I can add half of the damage I deal onto my own Aura, then if they have magic take the same amount of that as well... then I have a bat form... which is self-explanatory, then finally, spells using shadows, creating shadows, or doing anything with shadows cost 50% less, then they deal an extra 25% damage..."
"Whelp... I have decided... make me a vam-" June begins.
"No..." I deny almost immediately.
[Nah man, you should totally do it... it would set up a perfect love story and I can write a fanfiction about it or something]
My eye twitches slightly
"What? Why?" June asks.
"I'm not giving you this curse..." I quietly state as I take another sip from my drink.
"But, it isn't a curse... I would be getting tons of stuff to counterbalance the disadvantages..." She says.
"If you became a half vampire... you would have to watch all of your friends slowly age and die as you stay young... you would have to do this three to seven times June... you would have to watch the friends you make, the lovers you loved... all die... and that isn't something I want you to go through..." I solemnly state. "and if people actually figure out what you are, vampires in literature and movies are normally classified as 'horrible creatures made of darkness' and other grand things like that... so no, I don't want to give you this curse..."
I sigh once. "I'm going to get ready for school... this conversation is getting pretty depressing..."
I sit down at my chair, setting my bag behind me and covering my mouth as I yawn.
"Hey Sean..." Ruby quietly welcomes me.
"Hey Ruby, hey Tulip..." I greet back as I prop my head up with one of my hands.
"Sean... you look kind of tired..." Tulip states.
"I got up early and did a bit of early morning training... nothing too spectacular just a bit of strength training..."
[Pffft... 'just a bit' you increased your Str by 10... that is A LOT actually... you are now slightly over half way to you Str 50 skill...]
I look up to the clock. 7:30
'true...'
"Hmm... I wonder what we are going to do today..." I ask mostly myself.
"I hope we kill Grimm today!" Tulip exclaims as she pulls out a small packet of M&Ms
"…"
"…"
"You have a bit of a problem..." Ruby finally says.
"Yeah..." I agree.
"What?" Tulip asks. "I don't eat M&Ms THAAAT often..."
[She is either a master of comedy... or she seriously doesn't think that spending almost every moment in her life thinking of ways to murderize grimm is bad...]
'I'm leaning towards number 2...'
After a while of generic talking, Qrow finally entered the room, he walked over to his desk and basically slammed his face into it. Then we hear a muffled call "Table 7 and Table 4... fight or something... I really don't care about what you do right now..."
"…"
[Ah... that's just grand...]
Tulip and Ruby get up and walk to the center of the arena, me following shortly behind... we meet... a fucking tall lanky 6-foot tall butler, a small child that looks like some kind of Mavis Vermilion rip-off... and a blind cat-girl...
[and I thought your team was strange...]

'ah... he already increased his stats with Aura... well... this is going to be... maybe a challenge...'
He is the 6-foot tall Caucasian butler... and by butler, I mean he is actually wearing a buler uniform, his black hair tied up behind him in a small ponytail. He has black pupils and black irises, giving his eyes a 'black orb in a sea of white' feel...
To his left is a girl without pupils, only irises and sclera, with long blond wavy hair...
'she is literally just Mavis Vermilion... isn't she...'
She is wearing a blue jacket, white collar undershirt, red ribbon tie, black pantyhose and soft shoes.

"Heyo!" Crystal exclaims. "We are gonna beat you up now!"
"Ok..." I blankly state.
"I have studied your moves and developed a strategy that can't possibly fail!" Crystal exclaims as she points a finger at me in dramatic fashion.
"Neat..." Tulip adds in.
"I... uh... you didn't tell me the plan..." Eldriana quietly says.
"it's fine... the plan is pretty self-explanatory anyway..." Crystal whispers to her blind friend.
"Begin..." Qrow mumbles from his desk.
"Walter!" Crystal exclaims "Do the thing!"
"Right, madam" he says as he raises his hands toward us.
I immediately feel danger so I leap back a couple of feet and watch as about 4 wires tangle around where I had once been.
"W-AAAH!" Ruby exclaims in panic as I hear two thumps.
I glance over to Ruby and Tulip... to see that they had already been tied up and are laying on the floor.
"W-what?" Ruby asks from the floor.
"That is so unfair!" Tulip wines.
"You guys seriously couldn't last more than five seconds!?" I exclaim mostly to myself.
"D-don't worry Sean... you got this..." Ruby encourages me from her position on the floor.
I avoid another set of strings, some almost catching my arm. 'damn... these 20-pound weights are slowing me down more than I thought they would... fuck it... I'm using my aura to deal with this...'

"If you think you can beat us, I think you will come up a little... Short..." Crystal puns.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
We are all quiet for a moment.
"NOOOOOOOOO~" Ruby cries.
"Was that seriously the best you could do?" Tulip asks.
"Hey! If he gets mad he might make mistakes!" Crystal defends.
"Miss... I do think it would have just been better to call him short instead of 'punning' at him..." Walter says as he looks over to her. "Even though it was my idea to get him mad... I think you probably could have executed it better..."
"I personally thought it was pretty funny..." Eldriana mumbles.
"See!" Crystal exclaims as she points at Eldriana. "Also, it's more insulting to make fun of his height with a pun..."
'…'
[holy shit that is a lot of rage...]
I flip over the katana sheath so the blade is pointing down
They all seem to sense a dark presence at the same time and look, or in Eldriana's case, turn to me.
"H-his eyes are pretty scary right now..." Crystal mumbles.
I disappear from their view, or at least it seems like I do.
Walter's eyes widen as he seems to be the only one to realize what I am doing and where I am. He retracts his strings from his gloves and starts to create a barrier in front of him, releasing Ruby and Tulip.
*Swish*
I appear behind him with my blade drawn, then I turn around and punch him in the back, knocking him forward. His wires react and knock nightfall out of my hands and into the air.
I disappear once more and appear in front of Crystal, punching her in the stomach.
"Guh!" She gasps as she gets flung backwards, stopping just before she gets flung out of the arena.
Vital Hit (*2 Damage)
*Swish*
Vital Hit (*2 Damage)
"Agh!" Walter exclaims as his wires fall into pieces and he gets knocked to the side of the arena.

"The tall butler kid is out..." Qrow mumbles from his face-down state on the desk.
"Don't worry!" Eldriana shouts as she leaps into the air for a downward slash with a short sword. "I got this!"
I catch the blade in my hand, basically talking all of the damage but looking completely badass while doing it.

"Other kid is out..." Qrow announces
I let go of her throat and disappear again, reappearing over by Crystal, who had begun to slowly step away from me.
"Meep-" She gasps as my fist impacts her face and sends her tumbling a few feet.

"And that is the end of this combat..." Qrow announces, still faceplanted on his desk.
I take a deep breath and breathe out.

'how did he see any of that?'
[Magic, Sean, he used magic...]
I walk over to my sword and pull it out of the floor with some minor difficulty, then sheath it and walk over to my desk... and pull a Qrow and lay my head down.
'I think this is going to become a theme...'
[What is?]
'People making comments about my height and me kicking the shit out of them...'
[Probably...]
'well... I can't really say that it ISN'T fun...'
Hiya! Its meeee FLAAAME and welcome to the endsegment of another chapter of the remnant gamer!
(Haha I am super fucking tired as I write this end bit minutes before posting...)
Shout out to that one person who read all of the chapters and posted a review on... every single one... that is fun... I guess... (You are still sadistic tho)
Here! Have some guest reviews:
Anonymous:
"Chapter 25, A.K.A. 'The part where the Level 100 guy attempts to explain his powers to the Level 10 guy.'
Spammable teleportation would actually be really powerful, and that's not taking the possibility of tele-fragging into consideration. Can he, though? Because that would be hilarious."
.
Answer 1: Yep...
Answer to question 2: Don't expect a good answer for this cause... like I said... really fuckin tired... and I don't want to do something that seems like a good idea to my tired ass mind, but is actually a bad choice... so... No?
.
Huh... he was the only guest review... oh well I guess... see you in the next chapter~
The future... is in the past... ONWARDS, Aoshima!
(I really need to fix this fucking sleep schedule...)
