Quick author notes;
Being an author is about as hard as I was expecting. I severely overestimated my creativity.
Chapter 5
The voice has been silent for a while now. Disappointment. It refuses to respond to the Grimm. Perhaps it is merely inactive? The Grimm has found many a human inactive and prime for the kill – no resistance and barely a sound.
'I'm still not sure what it is you're trying to say.' It speaks once again.
'And maybe it's due to our new-found link, but I get the sense you're annoyed with me.' Not quite, but close enough it supposes.
'Well you're right to be. I shouldn't be sulking! So what if the system Is bugged to shit? So what if I'm rooming with a Grimm?'
The Grimm isn't sure what the voice is ranting about, but it is entertaining to listen to. Like watching a human get mauled by a small fur – no effort, high reward.
'I'm a motherfucking Human! Ain't no God, Grimm, or magical bitch, is gonna stop me! I am an unstoppable force of nature! Literally evolved to survive anything nature can throw at me!'
The voice thinks itself a Human? Both interesting and saddening. Poor voice, so delusional as to think Humans superior to The Grimms' own brethren. God… that tolls a bell of hollow familiarity.
The crack of a branch snapping pieces the silence. Followed by the thud of a small body dropping around 20 meters.
Surprise - 'Holy shit! Wait, is that a kid?'
Both Grimm and Soul react with startlement, followed by curiosity. And then realisation hit them both, with varying results. The Grimm was quick to tear into its' prey. Its' pesky aura, despite tanking most of the fall, providing resistance to The Grimms' claws. The Soul was, in lack of any physical methods of interference, screaming for The Grimm to stop – crying out in futility as it realises just how real this shit is, and just how fucked this world is. The screaming and tearing is only interrupted by a cheerful ding.

'Oh go fuck yourself system. And open a support ticket while you're at it.'
Soul hates to admit it, but the system is right. Up to this point he's been acting like some overpowered shonen protagonist getting his knob slobbered – where the fuck did that expression come from? Nevermind – when he's only level 1. that, and his system is bugged to hell. He needs to get his priorities straight.
First things first – either escape or control his Grimm host.
'Hey, buddy' interest
'You want to' Jesus Christ 'hunt humans right?' Agreement
'Well you can't do that if you're dead. And I know how to keep you alive. So, it makes sense to listen to me, right?' Consideration, agreement
→You deceived a being of Grimm! Your [Intelligence] has increased by 1!←
Honestly unsure if that's an insult or not.
'We need to get out of here, so, I guess I'll try to learn earth magic' interest
This shouldn't be too hard. Just gotta throw around some mana and inject it into the earth… maybe.
A blue ethereal wind begins to waft out of the Grimm and into the surrounding dirt.
-20mp
Oh wow, that's a rush. And now to mould the mana.
The dirt begins shifting, ever so slightly, and a small dusting of dirt now covers the ground in front of The Grimm. Interest, wonder, excitement
