YOU WAKE UP FEELING WELL RESTED, HP AND AP FULLY RESTORED.
Aaahh, another wonderful day for some Grimm bashing. I wake up and stretch before grabbing a bunch of colorful berries in the shrubs nearby and eat it. Food poisoning won't be a problem as Grimms can't get sick.
Now then, first thing first, I need more beowolf pelts to complete the set. It would form quite a synergy with my karambits.
"GGGRAARGHHH!" An indignant roar echoes from the town scaring of the wildlife and giving me quite a chill. What kind of fucking Grimm is capable of that how is it so close to town?
{Xiao Long-Rose residence,3rd pov}
Summer Rose is a rather kind and mild-mannered individual. She is always sweet and caring…that is until she goes full on berserk the moment something or someone threatens her daughters. Not long ago, she arrived back home from a short mission to the scene of her adorable Ruby sleeping at the front door covered in leaves. *ANGRY MOTHER NOISES*
Now she is sitting patiently on the sofa after having fed Ruby a nice pancake breakfast waiting for her husband to return. Oh and she is also firmly grasping Harbinger in her hands (Since it wasn't specified what weapon Summer used I made up my own. Harbinger is a two-headed scythe that can be separated in two small scythes with the pommels of those being pistols.)
Several minutes came the twisting of the lock as Taiyang and Yang walks in after their trip to an amusement park overnight. Yang smells the alluring aroma of the pancakes calling her and nearly floats off into the kitchen.
Tai was about to join his daughter when he heard coughing and turn to the sofa where his wife is holding a massive scythe adorned with an innocent(murderous) smile.
"Going somewhere dear? Where were you last night?" Summer asks Tai with a sickeningly sweet voice hiding an unfathomable amount of venom behind her words.
"I-I was just taking Yang on a t-trip. We stayed overnight at a hotel, that's all! I swear I didn't drink anything" Tai replies nervously as Summer drags him onto the couch forcefully.
"Oh really now? Then pray tell…why was Ruby alone in the house? And why…did I come back to see her sleeping outside on the porch?" Summer asks with each words now leaking malice as she stares straight through Tai's soul.
"I-I d-don't k-know?" Tai stutters as Summer raises Harbinger in the air.
"I SWEAR I DON'T KNOW! QROW WAS WATCHING HER!" Tai confesses loudly as he scuttles away from the ticking time bomb. However, Lady Luck has smiled upon him today as at that very moment, the front door opens again to reveal Qrow walking in reeking of alcohol.
"Hey Tai how was your tr-" Qrow was cut off by white petals flying in front of him as Summer teleports right at his face. She grabs him by the collar and looks at him dead in the eyes. "Oh dear Qrow, why did you leave my daughter alone locked outside of her home?"
It was at this moment that Qrow knew, he fucked up. No excuse, no bribes even no Gods can save him from the impending doom of motherly fury. His survival instincts kick in as he immediately transforms into a crow and yeets himself out of the window.
"Hahahahahahaha! Where are are you going dear Qrow? I just want to TALK with you." Tai breathes a sigh of relief as Summer's maniacal laughter fades into the background along Qrow's panicked squawking. He then notices Ruby and Yang making their way out of the kitchen.
"Dad, where's mom?" Yang curiously asks sitting next to Tai
"She's ummm *distant cries of agony* busy, yea she's busy at the moment." Tai sweatdrops at the increasingly louder pleas for mercy ringing from outside. Eventually the front door was slammed open and Qrow in human for flew into the wall covered in cuts as Summer slowly strolls in. Seeing Ruby and Yang in the room, she immediately collapses Harbinger into its compact form and loses all killing intent.
"Ruby dear, why did you sleep outside last night?" Summer asks regaining her composure though you can still see steam coming out of her ears. She then drags Qrow to the couch to hear the full story.
"Well uh, uncle Qrow left to the…the umm…bar place." Summer's grip on Qrow's shoulders tightens.
"And he didn't read any bedtime stories before locking the bedroom door." Summer's grip further tightens and you could hear Qrow's bones groan under the increasing pressure.
"I couldn't sleep and I saw this cute rat and I chased it outside the window. But then it got away and the door won't open again." Summer lets go of Qrow though still somewhat pissed at him and sighs. "At least you didn't catch a cold sleeping alone outside."
"I wasn't alone, there was big doggy there." Ruby squirms uncomfortable in her seat as everybody including Yang is now looking at her. You could cut the tension with a knife from the awkward silence that comes afterwards. That is until Yang broke it.
"Ooh ooh does he have fluffy fur?" Yang bounces excitedly thinking of the big dog.
"The fluffiest, doggy was even bigger than dad." Ruby answers her sister while unnerving her parents. Tai already know that something doesn't add up and Ruby wasn't a person who would ever lie. Plus that sighting of the strange beowolf the other day…He was about to show Ruby a photo of a beowolf and ask if it was the same until he realizes something… If Summer knows that a Grimm met Ruby because of Qrow's irresponsibility…she is going to flay the poor fool alive.
Thus Tai keeps his silence and hopes that Summer wasn't about to commit murder when she draws the conclusion.
Suddenly Qrow's scroll rings and Summer picks it up.
"Ah Huntsman Qrow? We have another mission for you. There has been a beowolf den sighted near to the south of Vale and we want you to take care of it. Nothing but the usual, no alpha too so it shouldn't be much. *shows photo of a standard beowolf*" "Hey that looks just like big doggy" Immediately after Ruby's statement, Tai and Qrow could feel the room getting colder as Summer's eyes darken. ~ゴゴゴゴ~ (Omae wa mou shindeiru)
Summer looks into Qrow's eyes again but this time it was no longer the face of mercy. Her eyes are now an endless abyss where the souls of the damned are condemned and you could hear their screams of utter anguish just by looking at it. She silently drags him outside again along Harbinger and glances at Tai one last time whispering. "I'll be busy for the next 3 hours dear, look after the girls okay?" To which Tai vehemently nods not wanting to suffer the same fate that is about to befall Qrow.
The denizens of Patch for the next few hours could hear high-pitched screams of terror constantly echoing throughout the island.
{back with Onyx}
Holy crap whoever that was really have a pair of lungs on them. I wonder wha- AUGH God I think I'm going to be sick! The fear signal and anger signal where the screams came from is so intoxicating that I couldn't even look at it. Oh well I'm sure law enforcement have it covered, it's somewhere in town after all.
I check my stats again to see the result of my grinding so far

Hmmm, it takes 10 pelts for to make a piece of the set which means I'm missing 8. I look around the devastated clearing with filled with shattered trees and claw marks. And it looks like I ran out of beowolfs to hunt.
I still have time after all, I'm sure the mission would give me a quest when Summer supposedly die and that it's still about 11 more years until canon starts.
*AAAARRRROOOOOOOOOO!* A deafening howl rings through the empty valley as gales of wind brush through. That sounds like one big angry boi.

-Finish the fight with more than 50% Hp left
Reward: Alpha form, lesser Grimm dominance, 1000 Lien, 2000 EXP
Wow shit hits the fan real fast. Just in mere seconds, I have been surrounded by a total of 20 beowolfs from all sides. These ones ain't your average pushover either. Their bone plates are noticeably thicker and their fangs resemble swords instead of flimsy daggers.
Mature Beowolf
Level - 10
Hp – 250/250
AP – 0/0
Atk – 30
Def – 18
Let's fucking do this. All of the Grimms begin circling me as 5 abruptly springs up lunging at me. This played out in my favor as I easily sidesteps the clumsy attack before hitting them with 2 seconds of fumes. The wolfs cough as the noxious gas takes effect and are left paralyzed in place. Then it was just a matter of stabbing them like shooting fish in a barrel.
Unfortunately, this puts me at a disadvantage as the blow to their kin also acted as a blow to their pride as the others become enraged gaining a 10% damage boost.
Each hit of them only deals 9 damage to me but considering my poise or lack thereof, one single hit could lead to me being insta-kill combo chained.
A brave beowolf leads the charge as 3 others follow it running at me from my right. At the same time, 2 sneaky rats begin charging at my left.
To avoid getting sandwiched, I activate adrenaline rolling to the side. But I'm not done yet. As the 2 beowolf charges come closer to each other, I grab one of their head and use it as a fulcrum lifting myself into the air before plunging both of the karambits down killing 2 more beowolfs.
Disoriented from the failed assault, the beowolfs didn't have time to react as I finish the rest with 4 well placed feral slash to their skulls.
I glare at the 9 remaining Grimms and to my surprise, they back off and ran away back into the woods. And that could be mean only one thing…the Alpha is here. Rumbling steps quake the ground as the dreadful howls announce its arrival, the Alpha jump into the middle of the arena.
Looking at the beast I couldn't help but think of how its appearance screams "boss battle". From the lunachris size of a fucking house to dozens of broken arrows and a greatsword imbedded in its torso, one could tell the experience behind this monster. Its bone plate is far more complex than a regular alpha covering nearly all of its body save for the neck and joints. The ominous mask showcases a pair of eyes filled with ferociousness and savagery as well as brandishing 2 tusks jutting out from the side. The sheer abomination screeches at me pounding the ground in crazed fury as the battle begins.
The Relentless Ravager
Level - 20
Hp – 2135/2135
AP – 0
Atk – 212
Def – (-23)
Sweet God what kind of sick glass cannon is this? How can something has negative defense? 3 hits and it's going to be game over for me.
The Ravager dashes to me in a heartbeat swinging its claw wildly tearing up the landscape. I can't help but worry as I see how its claws can rip through stones like a hot knife through butter.
Come on I got this, it's just like fighting a casul no pressure. Str build vs Dex build…except that I can't parry or stagger the prick…I'm royally screwed aren't i?
The Ravager charges a massive attack as it leans on its hind legs growling. Seeing my chance, I managed to get 2 hits and a feral slash in before I was forced to retreat.
Successful hit 75 DMG
Successful hit 75 DMG
Successful hit 143 DMG
Ravager's health bar: 1842/2135
The beast flies 5 feet above ground before slamming back down releasing a black shockwave rippling through the ground. Hearing how the torrent of darkness sounds like the wails of the dead I quickly take cover behind a tree barely big enough to cover me. As the dark energy passes me I take a glance to notice that all organic life within the area has wilted, all of the grass and leaves have turned a sickly brown.
Ravager seeing that its attack missed only further pisses it off as it begins clawing left and right in a 6 hit combo.
You know what they say, keep rollin rollin rollin, keep rollin rollin rollin. Eventually, the Ravager tires out as it drops to the ground panting. Oh you already know what this means. FREE CRITICAL HIT! I roll towards its head before jabbing a karambit hard into its eye and another one into its remaining eye effectively blinding it.
Weak spot critical hit X6 DMG (143 X 6 +23=881)
Ravager's Hp: 961/2135
This is too easy, something's wrong, I can feel it. Ravager suddenly starts glowing a sinister black as I was blown back 3m by an invisible force. Of course, phase 2! No boss fight is completed without multiple (sometimes bullshit) phases.
And sure enough this fight falls into the bullshit category. Sure Ravager's defense somehow falls lower to a wobbing (-50) but that don't mean shit if you can't land a hit. And that's exactly what's happening now as the Ravager has transcended into Sanic with 200% its original speed which was already fucking fast with its combo and jumping between the attack is now impossible. I found that out the hard way after getting my ribs caved in from a singular swing.
Suffered a hit 185 DMG
Oh and did I mention how this fucking asshole can now shoot laser from his mouth every 20 seconds and that he can randomly yeet a massive chunk of rocks at me? So this is how it feels to be stoned to death in the dark age.
Suffered a hit 32 DMG
Definitely not fucking pleasant. Just as I thought how the fight couldn't get worse, RNG flips me off Ravagers simultaneously charges the laser AND the shockwave. The laser itself is already fucking deadly enough and the shockwave will flat out kill and I ran out of trees to hide behind about 2 minutes ago.
I guess there's only one way to settle this. ALL OR NOTHING! Giving my last prayers for luck, I run directly at the Ravager. The Grimm though still blind was still able to hear me as it directs the incoming laser beam at me. It would've been more satisfying if it could've seen how it fucked up when I smirked deviously at it. Its fate was sealed as I toss the karambits cutting both its ear off as it misses the laser, its last and only line of defense against me. I leap on its back and grasps the greatsword still lodged there and yank it out with great effort letting a river of inky blood oozes out.
The Ravager lets out one final cry as I drive the sword completely through its skull. Its corpse falls to the flor limp before turning into dust being carried off by the wind.
Successful Execution 961 DMG
You Gained:
-500 Lien
-800 EXP
-21 beowolf pelts
