Nothing belongs to me except my OC.
If you enjoy I'd appreciate it if you review. If you don't like it then review and I'll take whatever you say into consideration.
After being teleported, I opened my eyes and looked at my surroundings.
I saw many trees and bushes. Alright, guess I'm in a forest.
Game, where exactly am I?
[You are currently in a forest on the outskirts of Vale]
Alright then.. That will have to do for now.
I doubt anyone of importance is currently in some random forest in Vale.
Also, how long is it till canon? Or has canon already started?
[You have 1 month until cannon]
Not bad. A month gives me a decent amount of time to prepare and level up.
I then realised that I still had my clothes on from my last life, a pair of jeans, some trainers and a maroon hoodie with a black t-shirt underneath.
I used [Observe] on them to see if they had any stats or effects.
[Trainers
No effects
A pair of comfortable trainers that will keep your feet warm.]
I sighed.
I don't know what I was expecting, they're literally just a pair normal shoes.
Game, shouldn't I receive a quest around about now?
[Quest received!
Attend Beacon Academy
Objective: Be accepted into Beacon Academy
Bonus objective: Make a name for yourself during the academy initiation
Reward: 10000 EXP, Attend Beacon, More Plot Involvement
Bonus Reward: 20000 EXP +10 increased reputation with Beacon Academy students and staff]
Okay, nice, thanks Game. Making a name for myself sounds fun, but it's probably not a good idea to do anything too big and get unnecessary attention.
Attending Beacon sounds kinda fun, and I suppose the training would be useful.
I imagine being trained to use a weapon by experienced hunters and huntresses will be significantly more efficient than learning by myself.
[Don't worry about that, I can help you with training skills.]
I guess that I'll trust you, but I imagine levelling up a weapon's proficiency would require significant amounts of training. And I haven't really done any combat training in my old life, unless the Karate classes I had when I was six counted.
But either way, going to Beacon is currently my plan. It's not like I have any allies or anyone who knows me.
I'll build an actual plan as I go on.
[By the way, your flaws are already active. Just thought I'd let you know.]
Yeah, I thought that would be the case.
Alright, I guess it's time to try my Hakai out.
I looked around and walked towards a twig.
Well.. all great men and women start from humble beginnings right? Given enough time, I'll be able to destroy planet with the click of my fingers.
Okay, let's see how this works.
I imagined my mana flowing from the centre of my body and into my hand.
"Hakai."
Oh damn, my voice sounds pretty cool.
It's rather deep and smooth, quite intimidating as well.
Hmm, it sounds almost royal. Well, no complaints here.
Okay, okay, Cain, focus on what's important for the timebeing.
[-50 mana]
The twig had disintegrated into a purple mist.
[+ 5 exp]
Well god damn, that really is awesome, even if all it destroyed was a twig.
Alright, what should I actually do now?
I could leave this forest, or I could train for a while.
Game, I have gamer's body, how long can I go without sleeping, eating and drinking?
[You can easily go a month without sleep, a month without food, and a week without water.]
That's pretty damn useful. Alright, it's settled. I'm gonna train.
And anyways, it would be nice to have the power to defend myself, and being able to destroy an actual person would be rather helpful.
[Quest received!

Bonus Objective: Achieve level 10 before leaving the forest
Bonus Objective: Destroy 100 Grimm before leaving the forest

And so the grinding begins.
Just like a real RPG, huh?
Also, Game, am I able to name you?
[Yes, and if you do, please name me something sensible, I am acquainted with some Games who have received rather ...interesting names.]
...I'm not gonna ask you to elaborate on that. As for your request I promise that I'll think of a 'sensible' name and name you later.
Let's see my status then.

Seriously? I'd have to destroy a hundred twigs to level up?
Well, actually that isn't really much, but it's still boring as hell.
Game, how much exp would killing a beowolf give me?
[200 exp]
That.. is much more manageable...
But I wouldn't actually be able to fight against a beowolf as it currently stands.
Alright let's try destroying a branch this time.
Once more, I channeled my mana into my hand.
"Hakai."
[-500 mana]
[+25 Exp]
Hmm.. significantly more exp, but a high mana drain as well..
A few hours later
Okay, I've reached level 4
Man I feel pathetic, hours of twig and branch destroying and I'm only at level 4?
Let's see my status then.
[Cain

Mana - 10400/10400]
Now that I think about it, I've gotten a much larger mana capacity and more INT and WIS, so... I might be able to destroy something bigger.
I walked up to a tree and held my hand out.
"Hakai"
[-4000 mana]
The tree crumbled into a purple mist.
[+250 exp]
Now that's what I like to see.
That actually gave a significant amount of exp, even more than killing a beowulf, if destroyed the whole forest...
But people would definitely be suspicious if an entire forest disappeared.
But then again I'm in the outskirts of Vale, so people won't really be bothered either way. And even if they are, its extremely unlikely they'll be able to pin the crime on me.
Agh... But do I really have the patience to destroy an entire fucking forest? I really doubt that.. I think getting to level 10 and getting out of here would be better.
[If you're done talking to yourself I have something to give you]
[Skill received!
Destruction Bomb!
A ball of concentrated destruction, using more mana can make the ball larger and/or stronger.]
That's definitely quite helpful, I'll be able to damage things I can't instantly destroy.
Anyway, I've made my plan, I'll keep destroying trees till I run into Grimm, then destroy the Grimm and leave the forest after completing all objectives.
I looked to the sky and noticed that the moon was starting to rise, it felt surreal seeing remnant's moon.
It really is quite beautiful isn't it?
Wait a second.. why the hell does it look like day?
Oh.. right. I'm a Faunus. Night vision and enhanced smell are common among Faunus.
[As you discover more things about your race, you will grow the features of that race, if it turns out you are a Dragon Faunus, you will grow a pair of horns and wings]
Holy shit am I a Dragon Faunus?
[No dumbass, you think I'd really tell you that easily? But you aren't too far off...]
Alright, no need to be an asshole.
Also, thanks for the tip.
I suddenly heard the ruffling of bushes behind me, I looked around and whilst preemptively charging up a destruction blast.
I saw something black behind the bush and swiftly shot the blast.
I saw a beowulf lying on the ground slowly fading away.
[Beowulf killed
+200 exp
+1000 lien]
Wow.
That way.. incredibly easy.
[It's a divine skill, a pathetic dog would stand no chance.]
Well, yeah. That makes sense.
Game, how much is 1000 lien worth?
[Around 10 dollars]
Huh, If i were to kill a 100 Grimm, I'd earn at the minimum 100,000 Lien, and I'll probably run into a few alpha beowolfs as well.
Game, how many Lien would an alpha beowolf give me?
[10,000 Lien]
Then it's settled, grind time baby! At least this time it will be more fun than the last.
Sunrise
"Finally," I said to myself.
Even if I could go a long time without food, water and sleep, it seems that I can still get tired.
It took a few hours but I managed to get to level 15 and kill 98 Grimm.
Most of my exp came from trees and the area of forest I spawned in was almost entirely gone.
If you came across this area, you'd think that it was a normal field with a forest near it. You'd never think that this place was also part of the forest.
Apparently this place still counted as a forest for the quest since there was a forest originally here.
Clearing out the forest also helped me spot Grimm.
It felt odd killing Grimm and feeling absolutely nothing. In my old life I wouldn't be sad to kill a Grimm, but I wouldn't feel absolutely nothing.
Perks of Gamer's Mind I guess.
Anyways, just 2 more Grimm for that sweet, sweet title.
I started running forward and looking around to see if I could spot any Grimm.
[Quest complete!
Growth of the Destroyer!
Reward: Common Gacha Token
Bonus Reward: Rare Gacha Token]
Uh... what?
[You went out the former forest's radius, dingus]
Oh.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
OH MY GOD
I WAS THAT FUCKING CLOSE AND I LEAVE THE FOREST?
[Stop complaining, this is totally your own fault. I was lenient with the guidelines since it was your first quest. You're the one who stepped out of the former forest's radius. Not my fault that you didn't keep track of where the forest originally ended.]
"Deep breaths Cain, this is your own fault, calm down"
Okay.. lets do something to calm yourself.
Game, open the Gacha Tokens
[Common Gacha Token opened!
Blue Hoodie
Common
A good quality hoodie to keep you warm.]
[Rare Gacha Token opened!
Map of Remnant
Rare
A map of Remnant that also displays your current location]
I guess that the hoodie is okay, the map is nice.
I have a feeling that this is the type of stuff I'll be getting from now on
Well, I suppose it's the price to pay for Hakai and my negative luck doesn't help either.
The map is quite useful, I was thinking about how I'd actually find Beacon and Vale City, no complaints here.
The hoodie looks nice I guess, it's probably better than my own, I'll put it on.
[Blue Hoodie equipped]
[Maroon Hoodie returned to inventory]
The new abilities I've unlocked are also pretty nice.
[Annihilation Ray
A ray of pure destruction, will destroy anything in it's path
Damage depends on mana. Mana required every second to keep the beam running]
[Destroyer's Aura
Let out an aura that harms everyone around you, or use it to apply an immense feeling of dread on anyone around you, ineffective on anyone higher level than you.
0.1% of your total mana per second]
Before I set off, let's check my status.

Woah, I really am strong aren't I?
Ouch. Looking at that luck stat really pisses me off.
Also shouldn't I get perks for getting 50 points in most of my stats and 100 INT and WIS?
[You don't get any reward for getting 50 points in any stat but you are right about the INT and WIS]
[For reaching 100 points in INT you have gained a perk
Perfect Memory
You remember absolutely everything you do in this life]
[For reaching 100 points in WIS you have gained a perk
Mana Battery
Mana regenerates twice as fast]
Those are really nice, the mana battery is especially great. A lot of my moves take huge amounts of mana.
Well, I'm definitely ready for Beacon, I'll definitely be the strongest there, only second to that old man Ozpin.
I suppose I'll go to Vale then. I'm bored of doing this shit, my stats are good enough anyway.
As for this forest... I doubt anyone's gonna investigate it any time soon and even if they do they won't relate me to it.
I've got a lot of money from killing Grimm, let's see now.
Game, how much lien do I have?
[Balance: 163,000 Lien]
Killing all those Grimm really did get me quite a bit. That's about 1,630 dollars, a pretty decent amount of money. It's not like I really have to sleep or eat much anyway, just buying some clothes and a decent weapon.
It's about damn time I get to Vale.
I planned on making this chapter longer than the last, but I thought it would be better to just separate this and the next chapter. Next chapter is going to be about Cain going to the city of Vale, there might be a time skip. Next chapter will probably be out later today. If you enjoyed please review.
