The Embers of Magic

by Anthem's Rest

One would think, That a simple attempt for adventure after one last game of D&D would turn out so... Interestingly? (My first attempt at a gamer/SI-OC Insert Fanfiction, Hope you all enjoy! I'm planning on making this a long one!) (ADDED NOTE, Will contain references and such things from DnD, WoW and other titles, I own none of these though)(Note, new chap is beginning of overhaul)

5. Chapter 2? WAIT THIS GAME UPDATES!

"Swear jar!" - External Speech

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me.." - Internal Speech

|SYSTEM ONLINE| The 'Game', Internal Speech.

"HOW THE FUCK?" - INTENSE SHOUTING

"Magic is simple, and in many ways complex. Ever-Changing and Unexplainable.. That last part sucks because I'M STUCK IN RWBY AND FUCKING SCARED!"

(P.O.V: HENRY)
"Why me..?" The thought flashed through my mind near instantly, "What did I do for this? Did I kick innocent puppies in a past life? Was i some evil Overlord?! A BADASS SKELETON OVERLORD NAMED AINZ? WHAT DID I DO TO GET STU.." Soon the inner termoil and rant would be cut off by the Bubbly voice again. "What? Are you shy or something? Come ooon, I won't bite!" "And yet you could punch me through a wall if I piss you off!" My mind immeaditly retorted as I slowly turned around to face the one I expected to see.. the Fiery Blonde Bombshell that was Yang Xiao Long, her violet eyes lighting up in mischivous delight. though she seemed to radiate a strange.. sensation as well.

"Oooh.. Silent type huh? Like Blakey here!" She gestured to the Amber eyed Beauty that was staring curiously. a small chill going through my body as her head tilted curiously.
"Well.. I.. I guess I should introduce myself?" I let out a sigh, trying to force myself to relax. "I.. WAIT I KNOW! TIME TO PUT IMPROMPTU BULLSHIT TO WORK!" After a moment of shifting on my feet underneath the curious stares of two Beautiful but oddly terrifying Women, I manage to give a small bow and let out a 'confident' (NERVOUS) chuckle.

"My apologizes. Ladies. I.. merely wasn't expecting someone to make it this far so quickly!" I look up slightly to gauge their reactions. only to falter slightly as Violet and Amber eyes are wide in shock. "...Was it something I said?" I ask curiously before straightening and stumbling back as Blake rushed towards me. "Wait I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO ANYTHi..." I panic then trail off as everything seemed to slow to a snail's pace. and then to a complete stop. Blake's hand inches away from my face before a Menu popped up.

|SYSTEM|
|UPDATE AVAILABLE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO INSTALL?|
|Y/N|

I considered snarking off to the System before a soft sigh forced it's way through my lips. ".Please..."
|For being polite to the System, you have gained 2 Charisma!|
"Just... just update please.." I mutter before pressing Yes.
|PLAYER INPUT RECIEVED. GAME UPDATING IN 3..|
"... Well. hopefully I can figure this out better with an.. 'update'" A small grin forces it's way to my lips.
|2|
"I am going to GAMER THE HELL OUT OF THIS SHIT!"
|1! UPDATING NOW|
As the notification came up. I closed my eyes, allowing the blankness of unconciousness consume me.. though it only seemed to last for a moment.. then I was jolted awake once more. My eyes opening to find Blake and Yang gone, along with the ruins and clearing amongst the forest. Instead finding myself standing at the bank of a small river.
|UPDATE COMPLETE. SPELLS AND SKILLS TWEAKED AND QUEST 'COMPLEATIONS' ADDED. HAVE FUN!|
|Novice's Guide to Magic added to Inventory. 100 EXP added.|
(P.O.V THIRD PERSON)
Henry stood at the edge of the water. letting out a sigh while ignoring the popup, then tugging off the hood of the cloak and crouching down, raising an eyebrow at the Amber eyes staring back in the somewhat frail looking reflection. Two cat ears resting upon Blackish Red hair, twitching and flicking every few moments.

"...I'm a catboy... A fucking scrawny Catboy with Ruby hair.. ain't this juuuust great?" He drawled sarcasticly with a snort before standing. "Well.. if things were changed.. Let's see how much! Stats?"

".. Better keep my sass to a minimal then. Anyway.." He let out another sigh, bringing a hand up and running it through his hair. "Ok. so.. game plan? Hmm.. figuring out where I ended up this time is probably a good plan. then.. finding a place to set up.. start grinding levels, and avoid the plot! Brilliant! Can't believe I thought of it myself!" Henry grinned to himself and nodded before pulling the hood of the cloak over his head. ".. Though meeting and getting close to the Girls would be intere.. NO! Something is obviously up.. atleast with Blake. due to how she reacted to me.. Maybe she knew... me? Atleast the guy I look like..?"

"... I guess that's a question to figure out and feel remorse on later.. first order of buisness.. Figuring out where I am.." Henry then took a deep breath. standing straight before looking towards the clear blue sky, then while thinking back to a certain anime about a Green haired Hero and his Blonde OVERLY BUFF Mentor, he spoke!
"Well.. Look out Remnant. You're in for a storm for.. now I AM HERE!" SIlence greeted his declariation.. Henry then groaning. "... I do not know why I felt the need to do that..."

(P.O.V ?)

Meanwhile.. Far away from where a Certain mage had appeared. two Brown eyes would open.. taking in the view of an Office inside a Clocktower, the silence of the Office soon being filled with a single soft yet joyful declaration.

"..I'm not alone anymore.."
