That was a close fucking call, I look back at where the man was and see his signals fading away into the distance. Guess he needed to bring his wife to a hospital and now I know where town is if I need to purchase provisions or start interacting with canon. Then again I have no idea the exact extend of an average huntsman and that shotgun blast alone nearly blew my brain out.
I can't keep hunting like this, if I run into an alpha beowolf or worse, an ursa major than I would not have enough strength to attempt fleeing. That cave looks comfy, I'll hide in there until nightfall before grinding for some materials. Like how huntsmen and huntresses have their weapons, I'm going to need some decent armor to face off against bullets and explosives.
{Patch, elsewhere, 3rd pov}
Jacob White has been sitting anxiously right outside to the ER room for the past few hours. Not long ago, he has been hunting the usual small games such as ducks and rabbits for dinner when he suddenly got an urgent message on his scroll. It was from one of his neighbor saying that his daughter and wife is missing and just then he also heard an explosion not far from him.
He prayed to the gods that it wasn't his family but as luck has it, that was exactly what it was. When he arrived at spot, he found his wife nearly bleeding out on a flower bed with his daughter inches away from one large beowolf. He may have been a retired huntsman but that doesn't me he's rusty. A well placed shot from Bucktooth(his shotgun) sent the beast packing.
Luckily, his daughter bandaged the wounds on Lily's wrist and the doctor said she would be able to make a full recovery within a month. Just as he is beginning to get lost in his thoughts again, a firm arm grips his shoulder and shakes him out of his stupor. It was one of his old friend, Taiyang Xiao Long, he has come along with his wife Summer Rose to comfort him.
"You look really out of it pal, where's the old feisty lion in you?" Taiyang asks as he sit down next to Jacob.
"Heh, you know damn well that I'm retired. But can you blame me though, you'd be the same if Summer was the one in there". Jacob sighs sadly glancing absentmindedly at the ceiling.
"Maybe these will cheer you up, freshly baked chocolate chips cookies. You had no idea how hard it is to hide these away from Ruby." Summer says as she passes Jacob a small paper bag of delicious pastry.
"Thanks Summer, to be honest Ruby reminds me of my younger days when I didn't take fitness into consideration" Jacob replies while munching on a cookie.
"How could we forget that time when you got a sugar high and start dancing while making out with a practice dummy inside the principal's office?" Taiyang starts chuckling along Summer.
"*cough* *cough* Out of everything out there, that's the thing you remember me by?" Jacob asks while glaring at the two innocent adults.
"Sorry Jacob I couldn't help it, it's just too hilarious even Raven laughed." Summer forces out between giggles trying and failing to stop laughing at the memory.
"Maybe I should have been a clown instead." Jacob slumps back into his seat dejected.
The door to the ER swings open and a man with glasses wearing blue doctor scrubs and a stethoscope holding a clipboard walks out addressing Jacob. "Mr Jacob White, your wife has woken up."
That single statement was able to refill Jacob with energy after 5 restless hours as he practically barges inside nearly kicking the door down in the process. Taiyang and Summer also follow to see how bad the situation is and to also gather information regarding the cause of this incident.
And there Lily was laying on a bed looking paler than usual because of the blood loss. Jacob jumps at her side asking all sorts of questions so quickly that people might have mistaken him for Ruby. Thankfully Lily slaps him out of his trance, quite literally too.
"Oh calm down Jacob, it's not like I'm dying or anything. The doctors already told you that didn't they?" Lily calmly reassures Jacob while sitting up.
"CALM DOWN? YOU ALMOST FUC-" *SMACK* Jacob suddenly finds himself looking at the wall as Lily slaps him across the room. Summer and Taiyang were surprised at her action but quickly scowl at Jacob too once they notice his 7 year old daughter, Jasmine, playing with a teddy bear in the corner.
"Honey, mind your language or you're going to join me in the hospital for the next week" Lily said this while gently smiling like a certain psychopathic ice cream themed assassin.
"Ahem, I know that now may not be the best time but we need details of the incidents Lily" Taiyang says while pulling out a small notepad.
"So how did you get all the way out in the woods, Patch is safe but there are still Grimms lurking in the wilds" Summer asks while playing with Jasmine.
"Well it started with Jasmine running off to pick so me flowers and I had to follow her. We were still in the safe zone until an Ursa suddenly came out of nowhere. I'm actually thankful that my overly protective husband *Points at Jacob* had me carry around a basket of mini dust crystals and a pocket knife. Still though, I only managed to hit with one crystal and blinded it with the knife before it tore my wrist open. Everything after that was mostly a blur." Lily says recalling the events.
"Wait did you say Ursa? When I found you there was only a beowolf there." Jacob ask picking himself up.
"Yes, I clearly remember it being an Ursa. Besides, a beowolf wouldn't survive a dust explosion anyway." Lily answers Jacob.
"You said you used 1 dust crystal right? I just checked the basket and it's missing 2 crystals" Taiyang asks seeing the discrepancy.
" Mr wolf used it to kill the big bad bear." Jasmine casually speaks ignoring how the attention of the entire room has turned to her.
"Sweetieโฆwho is this mr wolf?" Summer asks Jasmine.
"He looks like the other bad wolves that hurt people but he was bigger and he save mommy." Jasmine replies.
"Wait a second, *pulls out a beowolf photo* does this look like mr wolf?" Taiyang asks showing Jasmine the sketch.
"Yup, he started fighting with the mean bear but he was also losing. Then he tossed a shiny thing from the basket and the bear went boom." Jasmine says still playing with her teddy.
"This is ummโฆunusual. Hey Tai is there any record of Huntsmen being able to transform into Grimms?" Summer asks pulling out her scroll.
"Not that I know of, if anything we should ask Ozpin." Taiyang replies finalizing his notes.
"Of course it's a huntsman, there's no way a Grimm would act like that, right?" Jacob speaks his piece standing by Jasmine.
"Hmmphh! Racist scum." Jasmine pouts crossing her arms and looks away. The single gesture stabbed Jacob through the heart, it's one thing to be hated by your children but being called a racist by them is wellโฆpainful. Meanwhile Lily is secretly plotting to murder whoever taught her sweet innocent daughter that word. This didn't go unnoticed by Tai and Summer who will have to keep a close eye on her considering that she nearly hospitalized the person who said "damn" in front of Jasmine.
"Well uh I hope you recover soon Lily, Summer and I need to form hunting parties for the Grimm season, bye." Taiyang bid farewell with Summer leaving Lily and Jacob to catch up.

Inventory:
-20 beowolf pelts (Common pelts dropped by beowolfs. Though it's not much, it can be turned into basic armor)
-8 lesser Grimm essence (Essence left behind by weak Grimms as they die. Can be absorbed to gain 30 EXP or used in Crafting to make items having a higher quality)
-12 lesser Grimm bone shards(The leftovers of small Grimms bone plates. Can be made into basic weapon)
Not gonna lie they had me in the first half, I got jebaited big time. I got all hyped and excited when I saw a beowolf dropping crafting materials that I started going on a killing spree to hunt for them. That is until I got to the 20th one and I realizedโฆI know jack shit about crafting. It feels like buying a phone with no SIM card included. So now I have 3 options. 1, wait for a quest that will reward me with Crafting. 2, go dungeon hunting deeper in the woods and risk running into a boss 20 levels higher than me. 3, raid the town's libraryโฆ
I mean, is it stealing if I paid for it? Sure I may be breaking & entering and trespassing butโฆNevermind they probably would kill me regardless anyway since I'm a Grimm and all that. The main question is, do they have security? It would without a doubt attract a lot of unwanted attention if a certain coffee addict or heartless general see a beowolf lugging stacks of books away.
Quest needs certain elements to trigger them and who knows, maybe one will pop up the moment I go near the town. Dungeon hunting is just a suicide mission without any equipment and I certainly can't respawn.
Library it is, what's the worse thing that could happen? *Ominous thunder* Son of a bitch I hate you Murphy Laws.
{Later in town, at night}
Luckily, I have Observe with me and was able to quickly identify what's a skillbook and what now. Unfortunately, it happened to be the most expensive ones ;-; Rip my non-existent wallet.
3 books for 600 fucking Lien, that's the equivalent of 200 dollars per book. Good thing I don't have to buy the materials or I would be broke.
By consuming a skillbook, you gained the skill (Smithing: You can turn anything into weapons of mass destruction and impenetrable armor given that the materials are good enough.)
By consuming a skillbook, you gained the skill (Alchemy: Just like bartending can turn any tonics into a wonderful drink, you can turn random shit into powerful poisons and potions)
By consuming a skillbook, you gained the skill (Enchanting: Break the laws of reality by utilizing ancient knowledge. You can give extra effects to your equipment but you you need to learn scroll regarding the enchantment beforehand)
Well that wasn't so bad though enchanting didn't come with the full package. Good enough for me anyway, now I need to find a quiet spot to make my gears.
*sniff* *sniff* WellโฆI am already hereโฆmight as well "buy" some sweets.
{30 minutes later}
28 cinnamon rolls for 14 Lien now that's a fucking steal *nom*. Hmmmโฆthat wood cabin seems quiet, I'll start working on things there.
Now how do I activate the skill? Do I just smash the shit together or do I need a hammer and forge? Maybe if I think of what I want to make? Considering my limited resources at the moment I won't be able to do much so I'm aiming for light armor. Dex is my strong suit so my weapon is definitely going to be dagger.
A bright light engulfs all of the materials that I have laid out on the ground. About 5 minutes later and the light dies down revealing the result. First was the armor being smooth black leather like bracers and knee guards withโฆan oversized hoodie?
With a stroke of luck, you were able to make a unique equipment:
-Prowler's hoodie: A comfortable hoodie that doesn't provide much protection. However, it compensates by granting the wearer improved night vision and a 10% speed boost at night time. (+2 DEF + 3 ATK)
-Beowolf bracers: A part of the beowolf set made from basic pelts. Fully completing the set grants the buff "Bloodthirsty" granting the user a 20% increase in stats for 10 seconds after inflicting the bleeding debuff on an enemy.( +4 DEF + 5 ATK)
-Beowolf knee guards: A part of the beowolf set made from basic pelts. Fully completing the set grants the buff "Bloodthirsty" granting the user a 20% increase in stats for 10 seconds after inflicting the bleeding debuff on an enemy.( +3 DEF + 2 ATK)
Huh, sets bonuses is a thing apparently. And if this is a standard set then I'm missing a helmet, chestplate, boots, gauntlets and leggings. The hoodie seems quite durable despite being made of cotton and would probably with stand a few scratches. Let's see what I got for the weapon. Next to the armor was 2 bone white karambits with a stream of red from the tip of the blade to the handle. The blade also seems to be jagged instead of smooth.
-Grimm talons: A pair of jagged karambits that is excellent for a quick-paced build. Excellent against light armored foes, not so effective against heavy armor. (+20 ATK + 3 DEX)

Huh neat, I can one-shot a beowolf now if I do a sneak attack. Though taking on an Ursa is still a longshot. Maybe I can find some boarbatusks instead?
"Wooaah" a quiet high-pitched voice mutters from behind me. What frightened me wasn't that somebody saw me. It was the fact that I knew exactly who that voice belongs to despite the slight difference. I pray to what to whatever deity up there that it's not who I think it is and slowly turns around.
Behind me standing around at around 3 feet was a little girl with black hair and red tips wearing strawberry pajamasโฆ Motherfucking Ruby Rose as a child. Her family is going to fucking castrate me if they see me this close to her. Though I don't see Yang anywhere or Qrow and Tai for that matter. Wait, is Summer still alive?
No what am I thinking? I need to get away from the hyperactive child befo- "BIG DOGGY!" Ruby squeals as she leaps onto my neck and clings on. Well fuck me then, I can't toss her off because that would make her cry attracting the attention of unwanted huntsmen. What the? Is she scratching my ears? Oh ooohhh that feels niceโฆFUCK! Snap out of it. Come on come on, how to get rid of a clingy child?
Well I have an idea albeit a little questionable one. I then lay flat down with Ruby beneath me and 3 minutes later I hear her soft snoring as Ruby falls asleep while hugging my fur. Whew, crisis averted. I put on my newly made armor and karambits before carrying Ruby to the porch of her house and tuck her in under a blanket of leaves since the door was locked.
As I leave the premises I can't help but question. Was what I did considered sexual assault and that I'm registered as a sex offender/pedophile now? In my head I could already hear the police sirens blaring and the unforgettable "FBI OPEN UP!"
