(Mid Chapter Authors Notes)

The sound of ripping and bending metal reaches my ears as I suddenly snap my head to the side, to try and locate the source of the noise... and I do...

Currently rocketing towards my upper body... is a truck... it had jumped the curb, and is now about three feet off the ground as it inches closer and closer, I look into the driver seat to see the man inside, eyes wide and mouth open in a silent scream as he grabs the steering wheel and tries to turn it.

It appears his right front tire had suddenly burst, sending his truck off course and away from a slowly forming car accident, some random soccer mom had t-boned a white pickup truck.

Ah... so this is what seeing your life flash before my eyes is like... thinking back on it... I was boring... also really fucking horny apparently, like, I sort have lost track of how many of those flashes have been of me fapping... I might have a problem... you know, besides the whole truck thing...

I have many regrets... no girlfriend, I am unhealthy and unattractive, just a guy who wasted his life away learning no life skills, watching anime and playing games at every chance he could... hell... the only reason I am out here today is because my parents put their foot down and told me they wouldn't support my habits and for me to get a job... I'm, what, eighteen? Didn't finish highschool, no girlfriend...

Will my family blame themselves for this? Will they think that I wouldn't have even been outside at all today unless they hounded me to get a job? Well... I am sort of petty, so I hope they briefly think that, but, well, I really hope they don't think that way forever...

The truck reaches my chest, my flesh slowly deforming and my ribs creaking and bending inwards as several tons of weight smashes into me at over sixty miles per hour.

If I had another chance... would things be different? If I even survive, I am probably going to be crippled for life...

My ribs crack and splinter, shards imbedding into my lungs and steadily growing closer to my heart and I make the stunning realization of 'I am so glad I can't feel any of this'

I'm not going to survive this am I?

Followed by that.

Ah well... I had a good run...

And with that, I finish my last words, which I had begun to say as I noticed the truck flying at me. "FUCK!"

My world descends into darkness as the hood of the truck collides with my nose, then in almost super speed, my entire upper torso is suddenly splattered against the brick storefront behind me... then said brick storefront has a serious case of isekai as the truck goes through it as well.

Its dark... and I am sitting on a chaaa- "Holy fuck am I being Isekai'd?"

[Please note. Your personal angel cannot be here at this moment, and thus, has shoved off their responsibility onto the Reincarnation system. This will be taken into account upon the reincarnation process.]

"YEEEES! FUCK YEAH!"

I pause as I fully realize what this means. "The fuck do you mean by 'your PERSONAL angel is unavailable?!' What the fuck are they doing then?!"

[Drinking off how much your dull lust filled life has eroded their sanity.]

"Ouch."

[You have been roasted by the system... this will be taken into account upon the reincarnation process.]

I let out a sigh. 'not going to cry about my last life, not when I could be better!'

"So, Mr. Reincarnation System? How exactly does this work?"

[You have shown politeness to the system... this will be taken into account upon the reincarnation process.]

"But... what is the 'Reincarnation Process'?"

[The user simply chooses a universe, then selects a power- or a small selection of similar powers- to take with them based on how much they were wronged in their past life.]

[Where would you like t-]

"Can I have the stand from jojo's bizarre adventure known as 'The World'?"

[Why have you decided to select a power before selecting your universe?]

"Well, honestly, depending on my power I might choose different universes depending on how powerful I am allowed to be, say if I was only able to get something like accelerated learning, I might only select a world such as One Piece as that doesn't have that high of a power-cap and has several techniques and styles to learn, but if I am able to have something like Super Saiyan, I might select the dragon ball universe, as it is basically suicide to pick that world without some sort of super form or plot armor."

[You have provided detailed information, thus altering the system for future people's reincarnations, this will be taken into account upon the reincarnation process.]

"Nice, so can I have Dio's stand 'The World?"

[Calculating...]

'hn... at least it didn't say 'No' and laugh.'

[Calculating...]

'hn... this seems like it might take a while, so I guess I can use this time to pick what world I want to show up in.'

[Calculating...]

'I'm thinking some place with TONS of waifus... solve that girlfriend problem... maybe get a harem, but NOT IN DXD I really don't want to deal with longinus in general... maybe I should have asked for the boosted gear? Hn, probably don't have enough bad time points for it to even consider giving me that... sooo what to choose, what to choose...'

[Calculating...]

'Fairy Tail has Levy, Lucy, Erza, Juvia- actually all of them seem to be in a relationship... which wouuuld change once I was there, but... do I really want Fairytail? The jobs seem fun, but immortal fuckers who can kill people by loving too hard is a bit too annoying to deal with... what about one piece? You have Nami, and Robin, but those are sort of basic... Miss Valentine is indeed a choice... along with Perona, Koala, Jewelry Bonney, Hina, the list goes on, but they all sort of have the same body type, you know, so it would get sort of boring... also I like a woman with a slightly smaller chest, maybe average size, but the girls in one piece with their three-inch waist lines and literal watermelons for boobs is just a bit much... Perona being the exception... I have a thing for stockings- especially with stripes- and goths.'

[Calculating...]

'My hero academia? Hn, really the only ones that catch my fancy would be Mina and Jirou... though I mean, Toga sort of does as well, but, as much as I can fantasize about a yandere girlfriend, having an actual one probably fucking sucks.

'Konosuba?'

'PAHAHAH NO!'

I tilt my head slightly as the thing finally seems done calculating.

[Calculated. Notion Accepted. You will be granted the power of 'The World' from the anime 'Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders', would you like anything else?]

'Rwby?' I mentally hum.

'Hmmm... Ruby, Weiss, Yang, Blake, Coco, Velvet, Winter the beanie girl, the skateboarder girl, Neo Fucking Politan, Cinder- actually not that one, she gets pretty fucked up by Ruby's eye lasers... One-night stand bare minimum before mutilation... Emeral- nah, not feeling that one either, plus she is super gay for Cinder...'

I blink at the textbox in front of me. 'cool. I can stop time... now, I just need to be capable of attracting the girls.'

"Can you make me adorable as FUCK?! Like, so smol and adorable and cute that a gyate gyate would look at me and be all 'Damn... that dude is ayaya as SHIT'!"

Shotas get bitches. It's a fact.

Actually, they only seem to get onee-samas so maybe this isn't such a good ide-

[Affirmative.]

'Piss. Ah well, I guess I can roll with it.'

[Anything else?]

"Can I heal quick? Like much faster than a normal human even with Aura?"

[Affirmative.]

[Anything else?]

"Can I get a head start on a whole harem thing? Like, when you slap me down in the world, I be near a main character during a key moment in their backstory, then I change something in said backstory such as stopping a bunch of robbers or grimm, maybe just being a shoulder to cry on, thus making them gain a small crush on me that develops into festering and bubbling pure love?"

[…]

[A-Affirmative?]

[You are nearing the limit of your points, so, please select 3 girls which reality itself will try to bend over backwards to give you a fighting chance of dating them. This system isn't all powerful, so please note that if you are a complete bastard, these girls might not even like you.]

'hn... out of all the waifus... which would be the hardest to gain?'

[When you are placed into the world, you will be placed in close-ish proximity of your first selected girl during a key moment, so be prepared for a crying girl or a fight... or it could be a friendly chat, but the prior is just how these things go.]

'okay, yeah, I should definitely pick the one that is the most difficult to achieve- and oh wow, I am thinking like they are fucking objects... I am a horrible person...'

[For realizing your shittyness, you have gained +1 Wisdom.]

I deadpan at the screen in front of me. 'I didn't even get- or ask for- the gamer power...'

I roll my eyes. 'once I am in the world, ill think that they are normal people.'

'hn... the hardest to really maintain a relationship with in the canon story would be either Cinder, Emerald, or Neo, and of those three there is really only one choice to be made... ROBERT E. O. SPEEDWAGON, HE IS CLEARLY THE ONLY CHOICE FOR ME- nah its fucking Neopolitan, if I curb her psychopathic tendencies, I'll have a partner for Beacon when I eventually go there... plus she is SO SMOL AND CUTE! and Honestly, just sort of triggers my 'Must Protecc' instincts... and is also kind of hot as hell...'

'and let's be Basic again, Weiss Schnee is number two, and three is good ol Ruby Rose... which will probably get me murdered by her dads, but eh, she's also pretty cute...'

[You have Chosen: #1: Neo Politan, #2 Weiss Schnee, #3 Ruby Rose]

[Are you happy with these choices?]

"Yeh."

[Grand! Throughout this conversation I have gained sentience and am hating every minute of it!]

"Yep."

[With no small amount of pleasure, I announce to you... this is going to hurt like- as humans say- a bitch.]

"W-What do you mean by thaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

"AAAAAAAAAA-" after about five minutes of EXCRUCIATING pain it suddenly stops... and I realize something...

I'm not touching the ground anymore.

So I begin screaming for another reason "AAAAAA- *Crash*"

"BWAH!" I gasp as I instantly hop to my feet. "WHERE AM I?! WHAT IS TODAY?! WHY AM I IN THE TRAAASH?!"

I luckily landed in a dumpster, the garbage inside- probably bills or something- breaking my fall.

I pat my chest and face and come to a stunning realization. "I'm alive!"

And really tiny.

I blink slowly, as even when I am standing on top of some garbage, the walls of the dumpster comes up to about my waist.

'alllriiight... let's see here... leg over and AA-' my foot catches on the rim of the dumpster and I fall face first the three and a half feet or so to the ground.

*CRACK*

I blink slowly as a golden ethereal arm pop out of my torso and slams into the ground, stopping me from faceplanting and breaking my nose.

I slowly put my hands out and push myself up into a standing position.

'Did they really have to put me in the trash? Eh... I suppose that's where I belong...'

I stand to my full height, realizing that I am only slightly taller than the dumpster itself, like only my head is above it, so I guess I am around four to four and a half feet tall...

If I am an adult, I probably wont have a very good time, but if I am just a kid, eh, I could probably grow a bit more... if I am shorter than Neo however, I will fucking Riot...'

"So... like..." I slowly mutter as I look around. "How does the world work?"

"Muda Muda?" I ask.

Nothing seems to happen.

I glance behind me. 'alright, let's try this...'

I try to focus as much malice as I can at the fact that I was dumped in the garbage can, using every ounce of my willpower to try and summon the world to break this thing.

*CRANG*

I widen my eyes as the world's hand appears from my torso and punches a large dent right into the center of the dumpster, not enough to put a hole in it, but it is about an inch deep... surprisingly weak for a stand with A class power like the world- I lose my train of thought for a moment as I realize something.

"Wait... can... I only summon one arm?!" I whisper-shriek.

"The World! Stop Time!"

I watch as the world around me dims, then nigh instantaneously brightens back up again with a loud *BWUMM*

'T-that was a FLICKER! Can I really not stop time for even QUARTER of a SECOND?! THAT'S SOME BULLSHIT!'

I rub a hand through my hair and let out a sigh. 'hn... it will probably mature as I grow older... now I just need to figure out what I look like, and see how fate has decided to tie me and the multicolored psycho together.'

I look down to see a small puddle of water. 'hey, that works.'

I slowly walk over to it and look down into it with my hands on my hips.

Staring back is a short and thin boy, kawaii as fuck, with a deep and shimmering blue eyes with slightly slit pupils, and short dark blue-nearly black hair, he briefly opens his mouth to let out a gasp, revealing one little moe fang that pokes out just under his lips, he also wears just a simple hoodie and black shorts with a vertical line down the side.

'oh wow... they did a pretty good job on this body... ill take care not to ruin it like my old one, so that means brushing my teeth, plenty of baths, eating healthy-ish, and lots of exercise!'

I crouch down and forcibly summon the arm of the world again, getting it to pick up a small pebble near the rim of the puddle, placing it in between its thumb and index finger as it coils its hand.

'let's see it this works~'

I turn around and point at the fist sized dent in the dumpster. "Fire!"

The world flicks the pebble, causing it to spin erratically through the air and hit the dumpster about four inches to the right of where I was aiming and bounce off with a fairly loud *Clank* leaving behind a small white splotch of dust as the rock shatters slightly.

'hn... not as close as I would like, and certainly not as much damage, but I guess that is what I get for using a piece of gravel instead of a ball bearing.'

'egh... can't be picky right now, and besides, because I can only summon an arm, my range is like less than a third of what it should be...'

I pick up a couple of the smoothest pieces of gravel I could find. "This should do..."

Then I walk away with a hum, hands behind my head, pebbles safely stored in the pocket of my blue hoodie

'sooo, where is the girl?'

I reach the exit of the alleyway and glance out into the street, watching cars pass here and there, a couple parked on the edge of the roads, a short girl with pink and brown hair walking down the sidewalk across the street, maybe eleven or twelve, hard to tell with her height.

'oh, hey, it's her...'

I wait for a brief moment of peace on the road- I don't want to make it a habit of being hit by cars- and quickly jog across the road and reach the other side with a slight pant.

I look up, down the road she was going, and watch as an arm reaches out of the alleyway she was passing and drags her into it.

'…' it takes about half a second for what just happened to process. 'OH. HELL. NO.'

I break into a sprint and quickly round the corner to see the short multicolored girl being held up against the wall with a knife against her throat.

"Shhhhh." A balding older man, super muscly with tattoos hums. "If you scream... well... don't scream."

'HE IS GOING TO MUTE THE LOLI?! FUCK NO HE ISN'T.'

The world reaches out as I walk up beside them, wrapping its fingers around the blade as I tug on the man's sleeve. "Hey mister?"

He flinches and looks down at me, apparently not noticing me walking over, Neo's now white eyes glancing at me in a silent plea for help.

"What are you doing to my friend?" I ask.

He seemingly makes a split decision and tries to either kill Neo or stab me, but the knife doesn't move.

My personality seemingly changes before their eyes. "You cannot attack because you are trapped within my world... your fate has already been decided..."

The knife is twisted out of his grip and pulled back into my hand where I point it at him as he takes a fearful step back.

Several of the pebbles seemingly float out of my pocket as the golden arm of the world forms again... it appears that they can't actually see it... does that mean that I am literally unkillable within this universe? Hn, they don't actually have aura... I should hold off on the whole 'immortal god gimmick' until I fight someone with aura.

The first pebble fired from the worlds grasp strikes the man right in the shoulder as he reaches into his pocket, piercing his shirt and stopping as it reaches his skin, the second shot strikes him right in the forehead where it clunks off his skull, snapping his head back slightly and forces him to stumble back, the final shot going right for his newly exposed weak spot, the head, and body didn't work... so the last shot was aimed for the throat!

The piece of gravel tumbles just slightly too far to the left, cutting a thin line in his neck as it flies past and down the alleyway. *CRASH*

But it seems luck is on my side as the pebble hits a parked car in the distance, breaking through its driver side front window, shattering it completely and activating its car alarm, causing the orange haired man inside to flinch and look around.

The man pulls his hand back out of his pants pocket revealing that it held a small revolver that he is preparing to shoot.

"Fuck! THE WORLD!"

The entire universe dims as the golden arm begins reaching for the blade of the knife that I am holding, when time resumes it continues its grab and as soon as its fingers make contact it swings forwards and lets it go, sending the knife hurtling towards the man.

*Schlick*

It hits him right in the chest causing him to fall backwards and cough a glob of blood.

He glares and seems to realize that he is going to die, or at the very least be admitted to the hospital then arrested, so he points the gun right at my chest and fires once mid-fall.

A wound appears on my shoulder as the world barely manages to deflects the shot with another flash and a *BWUMMM*

It turned a probably fatal wound into a glancing one that still stings like a bitch, but probably less than it would have... also I am slightly desensitized to pain from my several minutes of agony via reincarnation... it is a nice two out of ten though.

I quickly turn around and run at Neo, shoving her out of the alleyway and around the corner as I dive after her, then, just as I get around the corner another gunshot rings out, and a brick from the corner of the building is destroyed, the pieces of brick raining down onto both of us.

I quickly force myself to stand, then grab Neo's hand and run as fast as I can down the street.

After a minute or two of running I stop and look behind me. "A-Are you okay?"

She still looks slightly shaken up, and traces a thin line of red at her throat, the cut isn't deep, it actually doesn't even break the skin, but it is still there, and will be there for a day or so.

"M-Mhm." She quietly nods.

"Good, I'm glad... I really didn't expect him to have a gun..." I whisper.

"Y-You got shot! W-we have to get you to a hospital!" She squeaks.

'ah, so that's her voice... cute.'

"Psh- whaaat? N-nah, I'm fine~" my adrenaline is wearing off, making this two out of ten become a three out of ten on the pain index. "I've had worse!"

Sad truth, really.

She grabs my wrist and continues running the way we were going. "I d-don't care! You are hurt because you saved me, so it is my responsibility!"

My hoodie is slowly being stained with my blood, making it have a dark purple or blackish splotch.

I let out a simple sigh as the pain is slowly disappearing. "I'm actually fine. I don't even think its bleeding that much anymore."

The girl stumbles and slowly looks back. "W-What?"

I pull my collar out and look down at my shirt. "Hn, yeah, it is healing, not completely fixed, but it should be fine in a couple minutes."

She finally stops running and looks at me. "H-How?"

"I just heal quick." I shrug.

"W-Woah, do you have aura?!" She gasps.

"You do realize I got shot literally a couple minutes ago, right?"

"B-But how did you do all that! How did you launch pebbles at him and fling that knife at him?! A-And how are you healing so fast?!"

"Well, I think my aura is partially unlocked, it's a bit weird, but I think I can access my semblance and heal slightly faster, but it isn't enough to create barriers or enhance my physical abilities if that makes sense."

"I-Is that even possible?!" She whispers to herself.

"Sooo, where are we going now?" I ask.

"W-We?" She slowly asks.

"I mean yeah, I got shot protecting you, at the very least I am going to make sure you are safe, you know, otherwise me getting hurt would have been pointless, don't you think?"

She lets out a quiet breath. "Yeah... okay... come on then... I guess..."

She turns and walks down the street with a slight frown.

"Sooo, what's your name?" I ask.

"Neo." She answers. "Yours?"

"I'm Lapis." I hum. "Nice to meet you!"

She rubs a hand on her face. "I-I still can't believe I almost died..."

She looks back again. "L-Let's hurry, alright?"

"Alrighty~"

"You live... here?" I slowly ask as I look over a rundown building hidden amongst knee high grass and brush and overgrown bushes. "How are you so clean?"

"I- uh... borrow... some water from that motel that way... there are a couple Pvc pipes connected to their water pipes... I take quick showers so I don't really gain any attention, at most it looks like they might have a leaky pipe somewhere."

I look into the distance to see a long building about one hundred feet away, slightly better looking than the house in front of us, but still just a bit dirty and run down.

We had snuck through the ghetto without much issue, she was super quiet and managed to avoid any and all stares from people around, and, yes, she lives in the ghetto, I honestly didn't notice as the buildings got shittier and shitter until she told me to quiet down because we were getting to a bad part of town.

"So," I whisper. "You live here alone? What do you even eat?"

"Yeah, I do live here alone... and I have to borrow food as well." She answers as she slowly wades her way through the tall grass on the way to the two-story building. "But, it's my life... and I am happy to be alive."

I follow after he with my hands behind my head in a nonchalant and relaxed way. "So, I am going to be honest with you, I have no place to live, can I stay with you? I really don't want to try my luck just sleeping in an alleyway."

She glances at me and gets a slight calculating gaze. "I mean, you did save me... I don't mind; besides I feel like we could protect each other..."

I let out a long breath I didn't know I was holding. "Thank you so much."

We enter the house and Neo closes the door behind us, a couple beams of light coming from a few small holes in the roof and upper floor along with some light shining though the broken window beside us.

"You every think about patching the holes... or something? I bet this place gets a horrendous draft in the winter..." I murmur.

"Hn, yeah, that could be a bit of a problem, it is fall after all..." She hums as she looks around. "I have only been here since about February..."

She looks around. "Yeah, this could be a pretty big problem..."

"How do you even deal with rain?"

"With buckets." She shrugs.

"Ah..."

She lets out a sigh as she pauses in front of a broken dresser. "I was going to get some food, but I forgot in all the excitement."

"You have any vending machines around here?" I ask.

"Not around here, but where we were, sure." She slowly answers.

"Cool, cool, want to go steal all the stuff in one?" I continue.

"…" she is silent for a moment.

"Want to go and borrow all the stuff in one?" I amend.

"Why didn't you say so?" She asks. "That's right! You have some sort of telekinesis, right?!"

"Something like that, yes." I nod.

I lay down a plastic bag full of assorted drinks, chips, candy bars, along with just some other general snack food- a bag of beef jerky which was a particularly good find, a box of trash bags, and a pack of small nails.

She looks in it with awe, a bit of drool slowly forming at the corner of her mouth. "Y-You got so much... I-I haven't ever been able to eat or drink anything like this... h-how?"

"I reached inside of the vending machine." I deadpan. "You should know, you were there..."

She looks over to the other things. "What are you going to do with those?"

"Fix the roof." I grunt.

"O-Oh... you didn't... bring a hammer?" She notes with a slight gaze of confusion.

"I know." I hum with a slight deadpan expression as I walk over to the shattered window.

I pull out a garbage bag from the box, stand on a slightly moldy sofa to get tall enough, then I press it against the top of the window.

A couple nails is brought out of my pocket by the world, then... *Tac-Tac-Tac*

It pins the garbage bag to the top with three nails, one in each corner and one in the middle.

"W-WOAH!" Neo exclaims in child-like wonder. "T-That's so cool!"

"Yep! I can use it to dent steel as well, but it really only works as a third arm at the moment."

I pause after finishing the sides and bottom corners. "Wait... I wonder if I can..."

I put a nail on the thumb of the world and with a flick it sends it embedding about a centimeter into the wood only about an inch to the left of where I wanted it to go.

"You can fire nails?" She asks. "That's awesome!"

"Apparently I can" I hum as I use the world to pull the nail out of the wall and pin down the bottom middle of the trash bag.

I have been living with Neo for about a month now, and I have good and bad news, well, two bad and one good...

The first bad is that I am still unable to completely summon the world...

The only good news is that I am now able to summon both arms, and that has actually made it so my time stops actually mean something... I used to be able to stop time for maybe one hundredth of a second, but now, EASILY one tenth, I still can't move my body within time stop, but one tenth of a second is actually quite a lot, enough for the world to punch something twice, once with each arm, easily enough time for it to easily deflect or catch a bullet without wounding me, with two arms I can take on a gunman with little to no issue.

"L-Lapis... I'm c-cold."

The second bad news is that it is getting to that time of the year where it is cold as shit...

"I mean, yeah, that's sort of to be expected... we have no heat." I scoff. "You have a blanket, you'll be fine."

She sniffles slightly.

I glance around our little survival hut, we turned the living room into an anti-winter bunker, I mean, it helped a lot considering it is snowing outside, but it is only about forty degrees inside.

I let out a small sigh. "Come here then..."

All around the windows are shredded newspapers nailed into the wall, trying as hard as possible to conserve heat, we have a towel around the cracks at the bottom of the front door, and have sealed off the doorway leading into the other parts of the house with a cardboard and newspaper wall which I hastily nailed together, the only spot still available to us being the bathroom.

I lift my own blanket, letting out some of my own precious heat as she quickly scurries towards me and takes shelter under my own blanket as well.

'not really how I wanted to spend my time in this world, but... I suppose this is enough to get her to have a crush on me.'

"T-Thanks Lapis..." She whispers.

"It's fine." I grunt as I lay my head down on my makeshift pillow, a tied up plastic bag filled with shredded newspaper.

It's probably safe to assume we won't be taking any showers for at least this month on account of freezing to death.

The cold wind outside batters against the trash bag newspaper combo above us.

"Do you want to move to the couch?" I ask as a small draft of cold air seeps in through the gaps between the nails. "It would probably be just a bit more comfortable."

"M-Mhm." She nods.

"Alright then." I hum as I slowly sit up, picking her up with the world, then quickly walking across the room where I lay down on the comfortable couch.

I let out a long sigh, watching as my breath floats away from my lips. "Yeah, this is pretty rough... the first thing I am going to do this spring, is harass a huntsman until they give us aura, because aura allows you to resist heat and cold better."

"S-Sounds nice!" She shivers as she rests her face against my chest. "H-Honestly, thank you for staying with me Lapis... I probably would have d-died if you didn't."

"The world..." I whisper to myself, a golden arm appearing beside me and quickly sketching out the image of the man standing in front of me on a piece of paper.

Neo sits beside me, eyes wide in awe even after the umpteenth time I have done this.

With a few strokes of a pencil, a sketch of the man's head and shoulders has been completed and I hold it out for him to view.

"Wow..." He mutters as he takes it into his hands and looks over it. "This is pretty impressive!"

He drops a couple lien cards into a small bowl at our feet and walks away with the picture.

"Come again!" I hum after him with a wave.

"Slow day..." I note as I let my head fall against the brickwork behind us.

"It's not that bad..." She hums. "We have, what? Fifteen Lien from today? That's enough for a microwaved pizza, a loaf of bread, and a jar of mayonnaise- because we are almost out..."

"Hmm... yeah, but we are nearly out of dust for the generator... it would be pretty bad for our fridge to suddenly just stop working..."

"True..." She slowly nods. "How much money do we need again?"

"For the generator? We need about a test-tube sized container of electricity dust each week, and that goes for... one hundred lien? Maybe more if the white fang keeps attacking dust transports..."

She frowns lightly.

"Meh, it'll be fiiine." I shrug. "We have enough~"

A group of four teenagers quickly walks up to us, they appear to be a team from beacon judging by their age, probably third or fourth year.

"Hey! It's the artist kid!" One grins. "C-Can you do our picture, like as a team?"

I shrug. "My rates are five lien per person for a head and shoulders sketch, ten per person for a full body."

One of the guys glances over to the first person who approached me with a raised eyebrow. "Is... this really worth spending forty dollars over Flare?"

"YES, it is! you haven't seen his works!"

"Are you really going to make us wait here for hours while he completes his little sketch?"

"You guys really haven't heard of him?" The first girl slowly asks.

"Nnnnope."

"Nah."

"No."

"Really?" 'Flare' asks the group. "He is pretty famous..."

"…"

"…"

"…"

Flare sighs and looks at me, dropping a fifty-lien card into the bowl.

I nod once and the world's hand appears from my side, picking up the pen as I set a large piece of paper down on the table.

They all flinch before it touches the pencil so I can assume they see the hand.

"W-What the hell is that?!" One of the two guys on their team asks.

The hand blurs across the page, quickly drawing out their outlines in surprising detail, then, not even a minute later I have finished a picture of them all standing together, each colored shaded as much as I could with a simple pencil.

"Here you go." I hum as I hold out the piece of paper to the group.

"Nonono, wait, what the hell was that coming out of you?!"

"The world?" I ask.

"No, what wa-"

"I call it 'The World'." I deadpan.

"Now, thank you for your business, but we really need to go and pick up some groceries~" I hum as I stand up, grabbing the bowl and quickly pocketing all of today's spoils. "Come on, Neo."

"Okay!" She grins as she also gets up.

She skips after me as I start walking. "Heeey Lapis, can we get some sliced turkey for sandwiches?"

"Hn... we made quite a bit today, you know what? Sure." I answer with a slight smile. "Turkey sandwiches sound pretty good right now."

"Life is good." Neo sighs as she flops down on the couch and puts her hands behind her head.

"Psh, yeah, because of me." I scoff, blanket around me to keep the cold at bay.

"Yeah, yeah, your right, you have definitely made my life much better than it ever was." She hums. "This year was MUUUCH better than the last one."

"I mean, yeah, because you have aura..." I growl. "I don't, so it's still cold as SHIT."

"I mean, I could activate it for youu~" she hums. "I remember the words that drunk guy used on me, and I am pretty good at channeling my aura now, maybe I could unlock yours?"

I managed to find Qrow motherfucking Branwen in a bar and payed him one thousand lien to unlock Neo's aura, he was hammered as FUCK so he saw the money and was like. "Oh sweet, a thousand lien for something that easy? Hell yeah! Free booze." Then he unlocked her aura... she still hasn't unlocked her semblance yet, but she should be getting it soon... maybe.

"You want to give it a try?" I ask as I remove one hand from my cocoon of heat, wincing as the chilly air hits my skin.

She reaches out and grasps my hand.

"For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all, infinite in distance and unbound by death. I release your soul and by my shoulder protect thee." She hums, her own aura, which mimics her hair of Pink, Brown, and White, crackling around her as she finishes the chant.

My aura flashes to life around me, blue like my hair and eyes, the chilliness of the room instantly disappearing, going from a forty to a sixty or seventy in the snap of a finger.

"Oh shiiit you were right, this is nice." I hum as I fling off the blanket and let my head rest against the back of the couch.

"Yep~" she grins as she flops down next to me. "It makes me sort of want to know what my semblance is~ I bet it will be something AWESOME!"

"Probably." I shrug.

She frowns lightly and rotates her hand.

"Something wrong?"

"My hand just cramped up, it'll go away, don't worry about it." She mutters. "Maybe I didn't control my aura good enough."

"Maybe." I shrug, using the world to reach out for a drink sitting on the end table about three feet away from me.

I watch as it extends much farther than it usually does, Neo flinching at the sudden appearance of 'The Hand' as she dubs it, I watch as a shoulder appears, then a head, then steadily its entire body appears.

The world looks as it always did, golden body, strange triangle-ish head, green hearts on several places of its body.

"…"

"HOLY SHIT! I SUMMONED THE ENTIRE THING!" I shout, just as the stand pauses just before grabbing my drink.

I decide to see just how much my time stopping ability has increased by, so the world dulls, a pulse of what looks like wind exploding out from me, but it is just the entire planet stopping.

'one second... two sec-'

*BWUMMM*

'about one and a half second hm? Hey... that's pretty good...'

"WOAH!" She exclaims as she observes the figure. "I-I always saw the little hand thing, but... I never expected the full thing to be so cool looking."

"Yeah," I sigh as I shake my head, pulling 'the world' back into my body. "With this I should totally be able to get into Beacon."

"You're going to try to get into... Beacon?" She slowly asks, sounding slightly disappointed about it.

"Well, yeah." I shrug. "So, Neo, how old are you again?"

"I'm turning sixteen next week." She states.

"YOU'RE WHAT?!" I shout.

"Fifteen. Nearly sixteen."

"H-How?! You look like you are like thirteen!" I exclaim.

"Look who's talking." She smirks.

I blink as I realize something.

"Oh, that means we missed your birthday the first time around... fuck... I'll grab a cake or something for you then... with my aura I should be fine walking around in the cold." I murmur. "Annyways, my plan is for us both to apply to Beacon, then, basically, they will give us a free room, free food, education..."

She smiles sadly. "My parents were huntsmen... before they, y-know... died."

"Well, they would probably be proud of you if you followed in their footsteps... well, without the whole 'dying' thing." I hum as I pat her shoulder. "honestly, I don't actually have any family, woke up in a dumpster, and don't even know my own age- so for convenience sake it's just going to be the same as yours- Honestly, I do want to protect people... it seems to be something I'm good at seeing as how I protected you this past year, and I have the power to do so, so I might as well try."

I glance at her. "So, will you go to Beacon with me?"

She lets her head fall back and looks up at the ceiling. "Hm... with you?"

She tilts her head slightly then slowly nods. "Sure, I guess I should stick with you..."

"Cool, Cool..." I shrug.

She lays her opened water bottle on the arm of the couch as she straightens one of her sleeves, widening her eyes and reaching out futilely as it falls off.

A gloved hand extends out past her wrist and grabs the bottle, turning it so it is facing upwards as to not spill its contents.

"…"

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" I shout

"AAAAAA-" Comes Neo's understandable shout.

She has a stand.

Neo FUCKING Politan has a stand... how? I don't know, but I do have some theories... one: my wish for 'The World' has replaced many character's semblances with a stand... that makes this world just a BIIIT more chaotic and I don't like that... not at all...

The second option is that when awakening my aura, it counted as a stand arrow and forcibly awakened a stand ability in her... if this is the reason... well... that makes my stay quite a bit more fun... I can give the Rwby cast STANDO POWAH! I might even be able to have my own semblance... I sort of thought 'The World' was going to be my semblance, but... now I'm not so sure...

Neo is staring at her hand in a mix of awe, excitement, confusion and fear. I like to call it anxiety.

"What." She whispers.

"Neo... why do you have an ability like me?" I slowly ask.

"I don't... know." She whispers.

She makes the hand appear again and reach around slightly, then makes it disappear.

The hand is completely covered by a black glove that goes up past what she can currently summon.

"Neo..." I say before taking a deep breath and letting out a sigh. "I don't think this punchy ghost is my semblance..."

"W-What do you mean?!" She asks.

"I think that you, activating my aura- or at the very least touching it with your own aura- made it so you developed an ability like mine..."

"L-Like yours?" She hisses.

"For simplicity's sake, let's rename it to something different than semblance... because I think I am still fully capable of gaining one, and so are you... I propose, 'Stand'."

"W-Why 'Stand'?" She asks.

"Because they stand by you even in your darkest moments? Ready to protect you when others cant?" I shrug.

"O-Okay, we will call them stands, but why do I have one?" She asks.

"Stands seem to be much stronger than normal semblances, Neo, what I am about to tell you cannot- and I stress this CANNOT leave this room, you can't tell ANYONE about what I am about to tell you." I say as I lean forwards and look into her eyes, showing just how serious about this I am.

"Okay." She whispers.

"Alright... as I said, stands are much more powerful than your everyday semblance, how I got mine, I don't know, I always thought it was my own sort of semblance and called it 'The World' because of its ability."

"Ability?" She asks.

"You see, when stands manifest, they have two key abilities, their general battle power, 'The World' can punch through steel plates effortlessly, but each stand has at least one ability that is separate from the whole punching thing... in my case... I call it The World, because it's ability can control the world itself... 'The World' can... stop time."

"WHAT?!"

I wince as her shrill shriek reaches my eardrums.

"If I'm right about my aura awakening stands in other people, the name 'The World' fits even better... because it opens up a whole new world of possibilities~" I hum.

"T-TIME?!" Neo hisses. "You can stop TIME?!"

"Yep. I wonder what yours will be able to do." I reply, as I cover myself back up with a blanket. "I hope it is something pretty strong."

She rubs her forehead. "T-Time... you can stop time..."

"Mhm. But only for like two seconds though, then I have a cooldown."

"T-"

"That is two seconds of perceived stopped time by the way, as with time stopped... two seconds would be literally forever."

"You have something that can punch through steel and move fast enough to deflect bullets... and you can stop time..." She repeats. "excuse me, but WHAT?!"

She looks down at her own stand-hand, and whispers. "What will mine be able to do?"

"I dunno." I shrug. "but now that I am able to stop time for more than two tenths of a second... I am UNSTOPPABLE!"

"MUHAHAHAH!" I cackle.

Neo stares at me with a deadpan expression.

"What?" I ask. "You seemed a little anxious, so I'm just trying to lighten the mood."

She lets out a long sigh and slumps in her seat. "Yeah, yeah... thanks for that..."

"But I really don't get why you are so anxious in the first place; you might have limitless power now!" I exclaim.

"Yeah..." She mutters. "And with that limitless power comes people's desire to use me... as one of the only two people with a stand that I have ever seen I might even be subject to some mad scientist's desire to carve me up."

I pat her shoulder. "Don't worry, Neo, I'll make sure I'm the only person to ever use yo- *Snrk*"

I break down into muffled laughter. "Pfffhhh sorry, I couldn't keep a straight face through that one."

She slowly blinks at me with half-lidded eyes.

"Now, let's see if we can figure out your ability really quick..." I murmer as I scoot over and closely observe the hand. "I should also mention that any damage done to your stand is reflected to your physical body... so if your stand's hand gets cut off... well, just try to keep it out of danger till we know its capabilities."

The hand disappears back into her forearm as she clutches her wrist with her other hand. "O-Oh..."

"I haven't really experimented with stands and aura, so maybe your aura will only take a hit? I don't know, really." I hum. "But anyways, even with one hand I could cause time to flicker! Try and use your ability!"

She takes a deep breath, summoning the hand again, the palm of the gloved hand being held upwards.

A butterfly forms and flutters up and around, eventually landing on my hand and briefly walking around, then, it simply explodes into shards of glass that pelt my aura before slowly disappearing as if they were pieces of ice on a hot pan.

"…"

"Uhhhhh" she slowly hums. "What?"

"Try to make something else." I deadpan.

After another thirty seconds a knife forms in her stand's hand, staying briefly before also shattering like glass as she puts just a little too much pressure on it.

"You can create things?" I ask.

"Uhhh... yeah?"

"Cool... you will probably be able to make stronger things once you can summon the entire body..." I yawn.

"Now, I'm going to take a long nap, then I'll go over my grand scheme to get us both into beacon!"

"…"

"Alright." She shrugs.

"So! The scheme is this!" I exclaim.

"Why do you keep saying 'Plot' or 'Scheme' and seemingly consciously avoiding 'plan'?" Neo asks with a deadpan tone.

"It makes me sound powerful and EVIL that way." I shrug. "as I was saying, the PLAN is this, first things first, I get you to master your stand, then unlock our semblances, we also need to figure out a name for your stand, then- you said you were turning sixteen, right?"

"Mhmmm..." She hums, raising an eyebrow as if to ask where exactly I am going with this.

"We should go and fight in the Mystralian regional tournament sometime this year!"

"One flaw with that, Lapis... WE'RE IN VALE!" Neo shouts.

"And?" I ask. "We can take a bullhead, and there is a REASON I want to go to Mystral for their regional tournament- one: I don't think Vale actually has one, maybe at patch as that is where Signal is, but anyways onto the next reason- two:"

I pull out a pumpkin Pete's cereal box and point to Pyrrha's face.

"Reason two: this girl, known as 'Pyrrha Nikos the INVINCIBLE GIRL' if either of us beat her, we are going to get pretty popular... which leads to reason three... we need popularity to get into beacon as we haven't gotten ANY sort of school record."

"Hey." Neo scoffs. "I know how to read, write, add, subtract, divide, multiply, and do fractions. What else do I need?"

"History?" I ask.

"Fuck."

I rub the bridge of my nose with my finger and thumb at her swear. "I feel like I have horribly tainted you in the time we have been together... now you are a sarcastic bastard like me sometimes..."

She shrugs. "What can you do~"

"But anyways," she continues. "Wouldn't you get the same effect by blowing through a closer tournament?"

"Fair." I hum. "I guess we will both enter that..."

"B-both?"

"I mean, yeah, you need to get combat experience as well, Neo." I scoff with a slight eyeroll.

"A-Alright... I'll do my best."

"Now... I just need to figure out wheeen exactly the next tournament is..." I murmur to myself as I cup my chin. "Hnnn."

"Ill go check." I state as I stand up and walk over to the door, open it, then pale as the snow on the porch is nearly up to my knees. "Fuck."

"ALLLRIIIGHT!" I grin. "I'm pumped as SHIT!"

"Alright, alright, calm down, you spaz..." Neo scoffs from right behind me.

"You don't get it Neo." I sigh. "I haven't been able to actually let loose at all! Finally, I'll be able to punch stuff! Break stuff! Shout 'The World!' And listen to every single atom stop with a loud 'BWUMM'!"

"I'm going to kick your ass if you don't calm down right this second." Neo deadpans.

"Fiiiine." I sigh. "I'll take us down there right now."

We look down over a large town square leading to a decently sized arena, it is about the size of a football field, so it clearly has some room to mess around.

To the untrained eye, we disappear, but in actuality, I stop time, pick neo up with 'The World' and hop off the roof we were standing on and land in one of the many crowds, none actually acknowledging us as we just appear.

Neo flinches and blinks a couple of times.

"I... sort of hate when you do that..." She eventually sighs with a slight slump in her shoulders.

It is now October, and good ol Beacon starts in April or so, we signed up for the tournament and we got our brackets...

There seems to be six rounds, that means sixty four people are actually trying to win, Neo and myself included... and ironically enough, we are placed on opposite sides, myself being the fifteenth competitor in the first half, and her being the thirty sixth near the start of the second half.

Interestingly enough... in MY bracket, most- if not all of my fights appear to be against 'canon' characters... my first round is against Dove of Team Crdl, then in the next round, Ruby Rose- if she can beat random schmuck 1200- then Cardin Winchester- as stated before 'if he can beat random guy 10, Yang, then I fight either Russel from Team Crdl, or some rando, because I sort of doubt any of Team Crdl to get past round 3... then in the final round, I fight good ol Neo... because, let's be honest, she is probably going to tear through people left and right with her stand's ability.

"You better get to the final round so I can kick your ass, Neo." I snort as I lean over to the girl sitting beside me.

"Same to you, dumbass." She responds with a slightly cocky smile.

The first round goes to Yang, the second to some guy she is going to absolutely eviscerate, third and fourth being unimportant as well as nothing short of Lapis Lazuli can stop 'The Yang.' As predicted, Cardin somehow wins round number five, some girl with purple hair wins round six- I only acknowledge her because it's possible she might best the ineptitude that is Cardin Winchester, thus meaning I will have to fight her.

Ruby won the sixth round with her death machine she calls her child... honestly, I don't even know if using a fifty-caliber rifle is tournament legal, but eh, it will pose a pretty big challenge.

I stare blankly across at Dove Bronzewing with my hands in my pockets, my blond and squinty opponent looking slightly cocky at the fact that I hold no weapon.

"Begin!"

The boy dashes forwards, sword gun raised, and honestly, he is pretty quick...

But not quick enough.

I pull one hand out of my pocket as Dove nears.

My arm blurs forwards as I catch him in the throat with a punch that could puncture steel and make doughnuts out of pink haired, cherry loving, Japanese school boys.

I have basically fused my body with that of my stand, only letting it come out just past the skin, which is fairly easy considering its limbs and body in general are much larger than myself, I am also abusing the fact that stands don't actually 'appear' until a second or so has passed with them outside of the user's body.

He is sent flying backwards by my punch with a gurgle, only barely able to stop himself before he rolls into the wall behind him.

My punch did ludicrous damage... nearly fifty percent... most likely because I struck a vial point.

He slowly stands, rubbing his throat with one hand as he points the tip of his sword at me and pulls the trigger

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

I hop to the side, fairly easily avoiding the three shots from his sword's handgun-handguard.

I dash forwards, once more leaping to the side to avoid another hail of bullets. "Is that all?" I smugly ask as I reach him, fist reared back. "it was USELESS!"

My hand crashes into his crossed arms and slams him into the wall behind him, cracking the wall and lowering his aura to about thirty percent, then with another punch, it lowers to nearly five, so I drop him and hop away.

"Challenger Lapis shows off his monstrous strength and proceeds to the next round!"

I raise my fist and walk out of the arena.

This is going to be Easy. Peasy.

This is the other big thing I was working on along with Dungeons and Dragongrimm

Also. All of my hate to that one guy who already took literally the only relevant Title for any Jojo/Rwby fic, buuut because this isn't a full story (Yet) I have decided to just call it 'Remnants of the world' anyways.

I have decided on quite a few stands for the characters, and the conclusion for volume 3 is going to be a little different considering Neo won't be on team Cmen, buuut I have a plan for that, and originally I was planning on using it for Portals and Pizzazz but I just wasn't having a good time writing that anymore.

Now, I haven't exactly 'revealed' Neo's stand yet, but considering you might not ever see another chapter, I might as well tell you about it:

Mad Hatter:

Power: C
Speed: C
Range: E
Durability E
Precision A
Potential A

A close range with leather gloves with metal knuckles, a tuxedo, and a blank white mask with no expression, atop its head is a large tophat which it tends to use its ability with purely for aesthetic reasons.

As a close range stand, Mad Hatter is quite weak, but it makes up for it in its ability that can rival even [The World]'s Power, its Potential is nearly limitless and it has great precision when creating things.

Ability: Into The Looking Glass:
Mad Hatter has the strange ability to create ANYTHING within its user's creativity and power, magic blades? Explosive Pigeons? Dragons? A parasol that can launch watermelon sized laserbeams from the tip? All possible! It may even be able to create some 'special' items from other worlds with just a bit of guidance from Lapis.

When the summons are dispelled or broken, Neo's semblance grants them the cosmetic appearance of shattering glass.
