Desperate for admission into Beacon, Jaune strikes a deal with the God of Darkness for a supreme ability. A gift like The Gamer requires significant sacrifice, however, and Jaune's lifespan bears the burden. With a broken ability but only 5 days left to live, postsecondary education becomes the least of his worries…

Yang just wanted to be a better friend to Jaune and help cheer him up, but one thing led to another. That one night together was all it took for them to see a different side of each other. Sides seldom seen... but they're still just friends. Yang is definitely not noticing the dork more and Jaune is certainly not falling for another girl. It's just some clean release. Nothing more.

Yang decides to help Jaune tackle his motion sickness head on and takes him out on an airship joyride. However, when they crash onto an island in the south Mistralian Sea and are left stranded, they'll only have each other to rely on; if they don't kill each other first. Cover by mrk50

Yang Xiao-Long didn't think she'd spend a night out consoling JNPR's resident knight when she left her dorm but, while talking about his problems, Jaune lets it slip that he knows about Pyrrha's feelings and doesn't reciprocate. He doesn't want to make things awkward by rejecting her outright so a plan is hatched. If he's off the market, she'll move on. If only it were that simple.

What if Yang was raised by Raven? What if Blake never left the White Fang? What if Weiss never decided to become a huntress? What if Ruby didn't get into Beacon early? Welcome to a world of new solutions, where everything is the same expect what really matters.

One day, a young student of Signal Academy receives a package from home, containing the journal of a long dead relative. But what is Jaune Arc going to do with said journal, and how will it change not only his world, but that of those around him?

Jaune Arc had failed in his dream to become a huntsman countless times, but a chance encounter sets him on a path meant for the old and the weary. His dream at stake, there is nothing left but going forward, slowly sinking into a world unlike anything he thought possible, all while learning just what his dream means.

Jaune's seven sisters are possessed by the swords passed down the Arc family lineage and it is now up to him to save them.

He didn't know the first thing about teaching, Hell, he didn't even know the first thing about fighting! A shame then, that his forged documents painted the picture of an accomplished and skilled warrior. Now he's trapped teaching students his own age how to be hunters, when he doesn't even know himself!
