Upon waking up I found myself absolutely terrified.
Terrified because I didn't know where I was. I woke up in a bed that is not mine.
In a body that is not mine. I found myself in a strange shack, but there was no one in it.
There was no huslte and bustle of a city outside even though I saw several other houses though the windows.
I opened the door and took a few steps outside.
This didn't look like a city.. More like a small village.
"Hello?!" I called out. "Is anybody there?"
I didn't get any responses. It was eerily silent.
It was dark and the light of the moon was the only light that lit the path.
Wait the moon?
I looked up and terror filled my heart..
It was shattered.
The fuck?
A flash of light pulled me out of my shock and a piece of paper fell on my face. Pulling it away I read it.. And the dread in my gut intensified.
Your currently in remnant. You have one power. A Tinker power, inspired by tinker of fiction. However you have to choose which setting you want from any fiction that you know. Be careful though.. You cannot take a new setting for a week so choose wisely.
I felt a tiny bit of relief as I began to feel it.
It was there in the back of my mind, it was like a superposition. Unable to settle down into any single focus.
Waiting.
Waiting for my decision.
This place was likely abandoned.
But now that I was here the grim would likely sense me.
However since I was a single person. There wouldn't much..
Still.
What I needed was to pick a setting.
I had to be careful which one I picked it from though...very careful...
Before I chose a setting I first needed to see what resources I had.
So then I went. One by one, checking each building.
They were mostly empty homes and I even found on with a cellar willed with all kinds of alcohol.
Then there was a Forge... I assume a black Smith was there from the blade and a few tools that were left. It had a forge that ran on dust. This place must have evacuated quickly because there was a lot of dust.
Red burn dust in the Forge...
There were a few other stores, and I was quite lucky to find an electronics store and a grocery store.
Though there was a huge amount of mold in the section where the forest food was as they were abandoned.
Food sealed in cans and MREs were still likely edible.
I also found a well with a hand pump, it was in fairly good working order.
However, a lot of the houses had damage on several Places with a hole in the wall and claw marks here and there.
They looked really old.
This place hadn't been lived in for a long time.
I also found a small farm through the soil was hard and the final place of importance was the largest building. It didn't look like most houses.
It also had few turrets on its roof that were completely mangled and at the Centre of this little settlement.
Perhaps a City hall? No this was a little village... So a Village hall?
Either way, it looked important and it was also the most damaged.
Removing the debris that blocked the entrance I entered.
Skeletons...
There were skeletons here.
They didn't evacuate...
There were so many skeletons.
People who hadn't been able to escape had been trapped here.
It was all I could do not to throw up, but for now, I need to find what resources this place might have.
I did find things that I guessed were Scrolls. But when I tried to access them they only displayed a Battery low image before snapping shut.
Well so much for that.
I began to look through the documents I could find and eventually I found something.
This village was a village made of just Faunus.
Faunus that couldn't take the discrimination from others and made there little own haven far out from any other Kingdom. Menagerie was an insult to them so they made this place...
It lasted for 15 years before the Grimm slowly overwhelmed them. They had grown within the fifteen years, becoming a thriving Faunus community but the huge number of Faunus meant that meant more Grimm were attracted.
Eventually, even their defences couldn't hold out.
Their wall broke.
There guards defeated.
They had all died together huddling together in the centre of the village, this town hall fighting to their last breath.
They didn't bother calling for help because they knew none would come.
After all, why would any kingdom send their own huntsman so far out? Especially for a town filled with just Faunus?
I closed the Journal.
Whoever had written this documented everything that happened here. But there was no name.
It was then I decided.
Once I was able to make this place secure.
I was going to take every single Faunus who wanted to leave the humans with me, and fuck of into space, perhaps take the humans who know not to be an asshole just because someone looks a bit different. Perhaps find another world and conolise it. A place where they can live their life happily.
Let Ozpin and Salem and the rest of the assholes continue their war.
With my mind made up, I finally decided on what my first specialization would be.
RWBY
After all, if I didn't understand how the things here worked that would be pretty strange.
Not to mention I would be able to repair the turrets on the walls and perhaps install new ones.
Cracking my knuckles, I selected it. And a wealth of knowledge opened up within my mind...
