Part of another RWBY x Honkai Crossover attempt. I had fun writing Ai-chan here. Again, not going to post the whole thing just the first "chapter" in all it's unedited glory. Enjoy. Nah, probably not.
I was reincarnated. The realization struck me at an incredibly bad time.
It was shortly after my twelth birthday that the realization struck me.
I was helping my parents out with farm work when they had asked me to go get some water from the well.
Shortly after returning I came across a wolf-like monster with bone white protrusions devouring the corpses of my new parents by the crop field.
It was a Beowulf, a type of Grimm.
It was the first time I had come across one and it triggered the memories from my previous life.
In my previous life I was just an average teen.
I was in my second year of highschool with a slightly above average GPA, a few friends, an average amount of ex-relationships, the whole she-bang.
Then one day I was hit by a truck on my way to school.
Yeah, it's that cliche.
I didn't meet God though, so I'm not sure why I'm here on Remnant about to die to the equivalent of a slime.
It turned around growling and crounched lower ready to pounce.
Falling on my ass out of instinctive fear I shut my eyes and wait for the end.
...Any second now.
Still not dead. Hm.
Opening my eyes I come face to face with a big blue window.
Holy shit, did I score a Gamer system? Talk about lucky, I must've been a saint in one of my past lifes.
Would've been nice if I got it sooner though. I feel like whichever God gave it to me is cruel.
My new parents didn't deserve this. Sure they weren't really loving to me, but they weren't abusive or neglective.
[Hello Gamer! As you may have already noticed you have been randomly selected as a beta tester for a Game based System.]
[Rejoice and Choose Young Man!]
...Uh nothing changed. Looking around I noticed time has stopped in the area around me.
I can see the Beowolf in a mid air jump with blood flying out it's mouth behind the screen. Lovely.
Oh wait, there's a little box for my selection.
Ahhh, so that's what it means.
I can choose any game I can think of and it'll generate a system based on my selection.
I can choose anything from Pokemon to Dark Souls, from Touhou to FGO.
It even has a little bar where I can type in any game not on the list.
...Hm. Well RWBY is relatively low powered, I don't want to choose anything that'll make me completely God-like with no effort like Touhou.
Nah, I'll just eenie miney moe it from a few of my favorites. Easy mode is fun when you're the Main Character.
After a quick little song I had my selection.
[Is "Honkai Impact 3rd" Correct? Y/N]
Yes it is. I wonder how the system will work, maybe a gacha based one? Wait, could I summon characters like some FGO ones?
I doubt it, but a man can dream damn it.
[Calculating System Requirements... Success]
[Generating System AI... Error. AI Already Detected.]
[Replace Built-In AI "Ai-chan"? Y/N]
Ai-chan!? Hell yeah! Gimme that Xtal!
Slamming on the "No", I get another window immediately.
[Ai-chan Reputation 1000]
[Generating Energy Conversion Feature... Complete]
[Generating Main Objective... Complete]
[Generating Tutorial... Complete]
[Finalizing Initial System Values... Complete]
[Ai-chan is HERE! Thanks Captain! Now, let's get started with your tutorial.]
[First, you're gonna need to think about opening a status page in your mind and BAM. It'll pop up in that metaphysical "mind's eye" that's so common in these situations.]
I love her already. Alright, 'Status Open'.
Ohh first try. Neat. I'm not really sure how I'm looking at this inside my own mind and processing the information in front of my eyes at the time, but I am so not going to think hard on it.
[Crimson Apocalypse]
[Rank-Unranked]
[Equipped Stigmata: None]
[Honkai Energy: 0]
[Skills: Inventory(MAX), Honkai Energy Adaption(MAX), Energy Conversion(Max)]
[Crystal: 0]
[Whoa, your parents have some wicked naming sense. Anyways, as you can see you are currently the equivalent of an "Unranked" Valkyrie. No need to worry about that though, Ai-chan has your back.]
[Tutorial Present Added To Inventory]
[Why don't you open it up? Just think "Inventory" and you'll 'feel' all that's in there.]
Hey, it's definitely a ridiculous name but have some respect for the dead. 'Inventory'.
Ohhhh, she's wasn't joking about being able to "feel" it.
There's no screen or anything but I somehow just know that if I 'reach' out to grab what's in here I can pull it out.
Mentally selecting the Tutorial Present it appears in my hand like it was there to begin with.
It's a pretty nice present box with a bow on top. Kinda feels like a waste since I assume it'll disappear once I open it.
Undoing the ribbon on top a blinding flash of blue light appears.
[Crystal 28000]
Sweet, beautiful Xtal! I love you Ai-chan. If one day you appear as "Ai-chan: Cabbage Knight" I'll buy you as many cabbages as you want.
[Ai-chan Reputation 120]
[Aww, thanks Captain. I'll hold you to it! Now it's everyone's favorite part... GACHA! Simply think it and let the salt flow!]
Wait, before I start I must pray.
I am the bone of my pulls
Crystal is my body, fragments are my blood
I have rerolled multiple accounts
Unknown to Rate-ups, nor loved by S-ranks
I have grinded thousands of hours
Yet will never care for the meta
So as I roll
UNLIMITED GACHA SALT
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO! 'GACHA'
Where is that 10x pull!? THERE! Wait. 100x? YEEEEEEEAAAAH!
[...Captain is weird.]
Yes I am sure that I want to use it. Just do it already!
(AN: I legit actually randomized this with an online generator with customizable inputs and percentages. I wish I was actually this lucky playing games.)
With a loud thunk, a prismatic metal container plonked down in front of me.
Gold or Purple is the highest rarity in miHoYo games so clearly this doesn't follow that standard. Rainbows are cooler anyways.
I reach out my hand to touch the icy cold steel and get blinded by a light so bright that my eyes actually teared up.
[Obtained 8 3* Stigmata]
[Obtained 10 4* Stigmata]
[Obtained 20 3* Weapons]
[Obtained 11 4* Weapons]
[Obtained 29 Honkai Energy Crystal(10)]
[Obtained 19 Honkai Energy Crystal(100)]
[Obtained Honkai Energy Crystal(10000)]
[Obtained Skill:Kaslana Gun-Kata]
[Obtained Gem of Haste]
*Obtaining a second copy of certain weapons evolves it into a PRI-ARM.]
*After accumalating sufficient Honkai Energy, the Gem of Haste will evolve.]
HAHAHAHA! YEEEEEEESSSSSS! I am so gonna implant that Gem in me as soon as I confirm that there will be no side effects.
I'd like to see Cindy try and throw around flames with the Ruler of Fire around.
[Congratulations Captain! I honestly wasn't expecting you to be getting a Herrscher Gem anytime soon. Though you didn't get an ELF this time around. I'm actually in there, ya know~?]
WHAT!? I missed a chance at actually getting my Cabbage Knight? REDO! I WANT A REDO!
[Ai-chan Reputation 80]
[Ahem, moving on. You can view what weapons and stigmata you received in your 'Inventory'. We couldn't very well bloat the word count with each one individually, we're not that shameless.]
I'm going to ignore that for the sake of my sanity, what little of it I have left anyways.
What about my skill? Do I just use it and viola, I can be a Mini-Kiana?
[Sorry Captain, you'll have to train it properly. Instead of being a Mini-Kiana wouldn't you be a Mini-Otto anyways?]
Low blow Ai-chan. You're hitting me where it hurts. Comparing me to him... that cuts deep.
Will there be a proficiency counter or something at least? I like the idea of being able to actually see improvement instead of 'feeling' it.
[I'll go ahead and add one of those for you Captain. Next is the 'Quests' tab. Right now there is only the 'Main Objective', but calling it seems a bit wrong as it's 100% optional. You know how to check it by now right? Ai-chan would be a bit worried for Captain otherwise.]
Your concern is valid. I'd be worried too. 'Quests'.
[The Final Herrscher]
[Quest Type: Main]
[Description: I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds.]
[Objective 1: Collect all 13 Gems] 1/13
[Objective 2: Implant all 13 Gems] 0/13
[Objective 3: Evolve all 13 Gems] 0/13
[Final Objective: ?]
[Rewards: ?]
Uh. Hm. To be honest, that's rather unsettling to read. Can the Will of Honkai still influence the Gems/Cores even in this universe?
[Not one bit~. The outside influence that the Will of Honkai exerts is scrubbed out by the System that created me. No need to fret even a bit Captain, the Gems are safe to use.]
Awesome, how much Honkai Energy is required to evolve a Gem? Also, to 'Implant' it do I just like swallow it or do I have to somehow surgically implant it in myself?
[The amount of Honkai Energy required is 20000 for each Gem. You can just swallow it and Ai-chan will handle the rest for you, but it may upset your stomach while it's fusing.]
[Alright Captain, one last thing before the Tutorial ends. As you have seen when using the Gacha that you can acquire 'Honkai Energy Crystals' which increases the amount of Honkai Energy your body contains. That's not the only way of obtaining it however. As seen on your skill page you have a skill named 'Energy Conversion', this skill was generated by my Parent System as Honkai Energy is not obtainable in this world.]
Lemme guess, it converts other types of Energy in Honkai Energy?
[Bingo! No prize however. While you can convert energies like 'electricity' into Honkai Energy, the efficiency is so low that it'd take a week of absorbtion to generate around 10 points. However, there seems to be a unique type of energy condensed into crystals that forms naturally on this planet that have a 5:1 conversion ratio.]
Oh right, Dust. Almost forgot that was a thing. We barely used any out here except for heating in the winter.
[With that the Tutorial is now considered over~. Time will resume once you equip a Weapon and Stigmata Captain. You won't be hearing from me very much unless you trigger quests or obtain my ELF. Don't miss me too much Captain~.]
I'll miss you, but it won't be too long before we see eachother. Ai-chan: Cabbage Knight will be mine!
[Ai-chan Reputation 3]
[Stop that! We don't even have a reputation function! When I get my hands on that... I believe in you Captain, make sure to trigger lots of quests it's the only way to get Crystal and certain equipment!]
All right, time to kill me a Grimm. 'Inventory'.
First, learn Gun-Kata because that's fucking badass. Might as well use all my Honkai Energy Crystal while I'm at it.
Time to get a gun.
Hmm... Jingwei's Wings or Blaze Destroyer. On one hand I can call down a meteor shower and on the other I can shoot plasma out of handheld railguns. Well, I already have the Gem of Haste, might as well go all in on the fire theme.
Shame I ended up getting Might of An-Utu instead of Judgement of Shamash. I'd feel like I was insulting the Divine Key if I used it without knowing how to correctly swing it. I'd probably also kill myself just picking it up. Isn't it almost as tall Himeko? That's like twice my current size.
Hm, maybe my "Equip" feature sizes it to me? I sure hope so, I don't think I can hold a full sized gun.
Blaze Destroyer 'Equip', it totally resizes to me awesome, let's check for some fire enhancing Stigmata. Wonder how their "bonuses" work now?
Higokumaru(T)? Perfect, let's see "Increases Fire DMG by 45%. Can summon Higokumaru to unleash Fire Breath for upto 6 Seconds, CD:25 Seconds" that's definitely different. How much is 45% exactly? I mean, how much "DMG" am I going to be doing anyways? Whatever, I'll try some 'before and after' experiments later.
Hm, no other 4* elemental Stigma. Alright, let's go defense then. Hm... Sirin(M)...What the hell is this? "Take 30% less Elemental DMG and gain a 20% chance To ignore DMG"? Am I reading that correctly or am I going blind? What was the original effect, the first part seems right but that second one bit is very wrong... Debuffs? I think it was a 20% chance to ignore debuffs. Whatever, that's definitely going in my (M) slot.
Now I just need a (B) slot... Sorry Teri, that Stigma is just plain bad. Oh? Nobel(B)'s effect is changed too. Let's see, "When a Charged Attack hits an enemy, enter 'Absorbed State'. Absorbed State: Enemies hit by Charged Attacks are weakened, decreasing their ATK by 35% and movement speed by 20%. Exit Absorbed State when a Charged Attack misses." Good enough for me, (B) slot filled! Time for my first fight! I can already feel my blood pumping.
[Time Lock Ending in 3...2...1...]
With dexterity and finesse I know I've never trained, I flipped away from where the Beowolf's pounce would land- Is it me or is it moving incredibly slowly? It's still in midair while I'm thinking this. Huh, doing a little shrug I aim the gun and give it a little squeez-
PSSH*
BOOOM*
...In hindsight, I should've realized that would happen.
-This is where the first chapter would've ended-
Since I was on my laptop replying to a review and checking the fic, I figured I'd post a the one that I had saved in notepad on my desktop. The others are in other folders or Google Drive.
This one probably looks all funny, so I apologize for any sore eyes. The spacing doesn't really 'translate' well, or at least I don't think it does. I can only see it from a PC view right now and it doesn't look right. Anyways, I'll post the rest if I ever get around to it.
