- Can harvest more material from Mobs And Object.
In the last few days I've been Experimenting on Stat.
Str - First I dump 50 Stat into Str. With a 100 str and 50 End, i found out that the Body can't handle the full power without a few broken bones.
Agi - With a speed of 212 miles an hour ( Without Ap )
Int - Among the other, this is the most interesting stat to explore, It would seem I have developed a photographic memory but it only lasts for 12 hours and eidetic Memory for 9 Hours. And I'm starting to remember old( but terrible ) Memories from when I was younger.
Skills - halfway through during the month I tried to look for a Skill Book but found out that.
[ Due to the vast exploitation of Skill Book, The GAME has remove Skill Book and replace it with rare Skill Rune's ]
I can see how that is a bit OP, if Skill Books were available that means the Library is my friend.
And Skills can evolve. Which is evident from my [ Marksmanship ] Skill. Into [ Sure Shot ]
Next time I'll try to merge Skills.
And finally Aura - the average lifespan of Hunters is about 150 Year due to their Aura. That's why Most Huntress and Huntsman looks so young or just still good looking, but hey it's the closest thing to Immortality.
Okay now that my stats are almost equal to a Goddamn LV.6 Zombie ( without Skills and Ap ). Man LV.30 Grimm is nowhere near that. Im just happy I'm alive right now.
Right now I'm heading to the Mask shop to pick up my order.
As I arrive at my destination, I called out the old shopkeeper.
" Old man, you got my order ?". He greeted me and showed me his creation.
It's beautiful, a red Helmet that covered the entire face, From the outside there were no eyeholes but it actually similar to a motorcycle helmet.( RED HOOD HELMET FROM ARKHAM KNIGHT ).
[ Costum Red Helmet ]
Durability : 33000
- 250 Defense.
- Bulletproof, Strong enough to wishtand a 50. Cal Sniper Rifle
- High Blunt Resistance.
" Thank for the mask, remember don't tell anyone. " I pay the bill and continued my day. I haven't explored the other world very much since I nearly got my ass kick by a LV.6 Zombie. Let's go meet Hei.
[ Junior's Club ]
" Hey Xiao.". I greeted. Ever since I defended Hei from Yang a month ago, our relationship has gotten closer
" Hey kid, what are doing here this time of day ? ". He greeted me withith a smile.
" I need your advice on something. Should I leave the Kingdom ?, temporary not permanently".
" Why ?". He asked with concerned.
" I need an off day, with all the White Fang and this place is already crowded as it is ". I answered in apathy.
" Same thing could be said as outside. There's Grimm, Bandits and God knows what else ". He warned.
" At least I can enjoy fresh air ". I joked.
" Can't stop ya kid, I can't make your decision." He knew what I could do.
" Thanks for the advice ". Talking to Junior is really therapeutic. Next destination the Forest." Hey, you think, You can handle Blondie when she comes back. Believe me, even though I knew her for a few months, she can hold a grudge ".
" Don't worry kid. I can handle myself ". He reassure.
I wasn't utterly convinced and Just gave him a questioning look.
" What ?. You don't believe me."
" Just last night. You were threatened by a 17-Year old ". I retaliate.
" Yeah, yeah. Don't worry, I have someone better than a Huntsman... A lawyer."
We both laughed as I exited the Bar.
[ 3 Hours later ]
[ 45 Miles outside Vale ]
[ The Forest ]
Ah. Fresh air, actually another reason I wanted to leave the Kingdom is Because I wanted to explore more of the other world. I've been exploring the place and found interesting info.
The Zombie's don't go poof when you kill them. But I still get money,mana stone,etc, straight to my Inventory, however I can still harvest any part of the body
(' Which is how I got the Skill : Harvest ').
And if I destroy something in there it doesn't reflect back to the real world. Also if i walked outside the barrier it's immediately destroyed, and if I walk away from my starting point I will get out of the barrier the place i walked. It was the perfect way to rob a Bank but it seems Valuable Object doesn't reflect on the other World
Other World, I need to think of another name... How about The Abyss
[ Location : The Abyss Unlocked ]
' Huh, I wonder what next.' I aimlessly wander into the forest. Enjoying the fresh breeze in my face. Until suddenly a Notification popped up.
[ Game Updating ]
- Stamina is now Removed
- Save Point Removed
- Other Features added
- 100 Stat Milestone added.
[ Due to achieving 100 STR = Skill [ Power Strike ]
1000 Ap to activated
- If strong enough, you can punch air so hard. It can travel through the air.
[ Due to achieving 100 AGI = Skill [ Flash Step ]
- Can teleport very short distance
- Each teleport cost 40 Ap
[ Due to achieving 100 End = Skill [ Copper Skin ]
{ Passive Effect }
- 30% less Damage inflicted.
[ Note : Milestone's are only available with base stats. ]
Okay one of the reason I put so much Stats into End is because of stamina, I'm both thankful and pissed, but hey I don't feel so tired right now.
But anyway if I travel to a different area and cast [ I.B.C ]. Will different enemies spawn, well, how about I found out now right now.
I raised my hand in the air.' [ I.B.C ] Activated '. A white light glowed at the palm of my hand. A barrier quickly expanded.
[ I.B.C Activated ]
... It was Quiet, no chirp, no wind, hell not even squirrels.
(*Whoosh*)
An arrow nearly hit my head but due to my 127.2 Agi and 61 Int I manage to dodge. I turned my head to where the arrow was shot at to find my attacker." Damn it, where is it ". It was probably hiding in the trees. My senses were on a full time high, waiting for it to strike again, I equip my Guns and my helmet.
(*whoosh*). An Arrow flown through the air but I easily dodge it.
I unleash a barrage of bullets at the trees from where the arrow came from.
" Did I get it ? ". Due to the helmet, I sounded more deep and menacing ( FELIX VOICE FROM RVB ). A body fell from atop The trees. Whatever it was, it was wearing Combat robes, had long white hair and pointy ears. I observed the body.
[ Forest Elf ] LV.3 ( Scout )

Agi : 75

Int : 98

"Well that proves my theory". As I looted his arrows
[ Arrows Acquired ]
I knew Elves were wise but that another level right there. And look at the Hp, it doesn't add up to the End Stat, I have to assume it's either a Skill or Trait.
However my greatest concern that it's a scout, but then I have to assume there's a community. But I rather not go there. I continued to explore The Abyss Forest.
[ After a few minutes of Walking ]
(*Creak*)
I immediately pulled out my Guns to shoot whoever or whatever's out there.
(*Creak*)
I turned my head 180 degrees to the sound,' wait a minute was that tree there before ?'. I observed the tree in front of me.
[ Ent ] LV.23

- All types of plant life can be manipulated and use to attack.
" Oh seriousl-". I was Slap away by a thick branch and hit a tree behind me. ' God-damned, Motherfucker can manipulate the Forest, and I'm in it's territory.
[ Sprint Activated ]
The Ent tried to crush me by manipulating the other trees around me but I manage to dodge, I shot a bullet into a tree, to find a weakness.
Hp : 45150
' Shit, I need to destoy the original body of the Ent, but there a hundred identical looking trees. Be easier if I bought a Match.'
Multiple sharp vine emerge through the woods trying to impale me. Shit, shit. Don't fail me now Observe.
Not that tree,
Not that tree.
DAMN! which tree is it ?. I immediately noticed that all the Vine's originated from one tree. ' Please be it ', I shoot the tree.
HP : 45021/45150
" What the HELL!, that barely did damage,Fucking defense are high ". All the vines immediately wrapped around the tree to protect itself while the few remaining tried to kill me.
"C'mon !. Well, at Least I know which tree it is ". I need to retreat for now. But I can't cast [ I.B.D ]. Since those vines are fast enough to stop me from Casting, I need to escape through the edge of the Barrier, Let's try Flash Step.
Flash Step is useful, but it just teleports short distances, is really good for close-combat, but I have to use it to dodge The Vines.
' Almost there,'.
I could see the end of the barrier.
' Almost there '.
(*stab*)
I looked down to see a Vine impaled out my chest and my Heart at it's tip.
[ Flash Step Activated ]

- Player will lose 100 HP per Second
" My...My heart ". Am I gonna die?.
Don't worry, you won't die because there's a precaution with this for NOOBS! like you.
And you only die if You're HP reach 0.

Due to Player still has Hp left. Player will Live. But Player will remain Unconscious for 36 Hours.
[ Healing Mode activated ]
- Considerating if Nothing Kills the player while Unconscious, Then you will live
"Jackass". I muttered silently.
[ 36 Hours later ]
I opened my eyes to find a white ceiling... Wait, since when does the Forest had a Ceiling. I then realized I was lying on a bed, my helmet and pants were still equip, but my jacket was gone and replace with a bandage wrap around my Chest.
" Ugh ". I stood up my chest and look around but in my right I notice that a little Brunette Faunas girl with droppy dog ears in a dress staring at me.
" Um, Hey there". Trying to sound friendly but forgot that I still had my helmet on, so I sounded like I was gonna kill her.
" MOM, HE'S AWAKE!". She Bolted out the room. I unequipped my Helmet to be less intimidating.
" Um, okay ". I am a lucky son of a literal bitch, Bit cold without my... Jacket ". I looked down on my chest to see all my scar's full exposed except those covered by the bandage. I rushed to find anything to wear and found my Jacket with a hole at it's chest from when the Ent impaled me.
2 Minutes later, a Brunette human woman with brown eyes wearing a dress patterned with flowers entered the room.
" Hello there, my name is Samantha, and I think you've met my Daughter, Zoey ". She said in a calm voice while pointing near the door to find Zoey peeking from behind the door." Say hi Zoey".
" Hi ". The cute girl said in a low and shy tone.
I waves back at her." I want to thank you for taking care of me". I thank with pleasing voice.
" Your welcome, but you should also thank my daughter, she's the one that found you. Well, after screaming and crying because you had a giant hole in you ".
" Thanks Zoey, and sorry if I scared you ". I Waved at her while giving a trusting Smile.
(*Cough*)(*Cough*)
"Sorry, I haven't been feeling well this past few weeks. I'm have to leave, There's dinner at the table if you're able to stand". She apologized as she exit.
Well my Status has been recovered, But my day has been Shocking. Apparently, I can't die with just my heart rip out... Wait. Why didn't anything happened when I shot myself in the face ?.
[ Well, cause of the UPDATE. I had to install a more detailed feature, and creates a sense of realism ]
"Will you make the Game more complex then it already is ?". I sighed in anger.
[ In an ever changing world. The Answer is Yes ]
Alright, screw it. I'm hungry... Or not?. I haven't felt the need to sleep or eat ever since the Update. I better meet up with them. I walked out the room and find myself in a hallway. It took a while but I found the kitchen. I greeted Zoey. But the mother was nowhere to be found.
" Hey Zoey, how you doing ?". I greeted.
" Hey mister, Feeling better? ". She asked with a bubbly Smile.
" Yea, just call me Jaune. So where's your mother? ".
" She's at the bathroom, that's were she eats pills so she stops Coughing ".
" Is your mom sick ?"
" Yeah, but she's says not to worry, Because it's just a cold ". She said with complete Innocence.
" Does your mom get sick a lot ? ". I genuine start to worry for no reason.
" She does but she says she's just tired "
" Ok ." As I poured myself a cup of water and proceeded to drink. Zoey popped up a surprising question.
" Mr. Jaune, What is Cancer ?." I did a spit take. " I heard it from the Doctor when he was talking to my mom. I don't know what ' Cancer ' is but is it sad ?, when mom heard it she started crying ".
My eyes were wide open when I heard that. " No, it's nothing. It's... it just means that it makes you sad for no reason at all ". I didn't know how to break it down for her, I was on the verge of crying and giving her a hug. But before she could ask again, Samantha jumped in from nowhere.
" Now, now Zoey don't interrupt Mr. Jaune during dinner "
" Yes mom ".
" Your done with dinner right ?. So go to bed now, it's really late. " She addresses to Zoey
" Ok mom. Goodnight Mommy. Goodnight Mistah. J ". She went to her room.
" So how much did she tell you ?". she asked as she overheard our conversation.
" Not much. But is it serious ?". Worried signs were apparent in my face.
" Stage 4 ". She labeled the seriousness of the Condition.
" How long ?".
" Doctor says I have 7 maybe 6 month left ". At this point she started mildly crying as she took a seat.
To actually know her condition. I Observed her.

" I'm sorry I lied to Zoey".
" It's okay, even I couldn't tell her. Now I'm enjoying my remaining time I have with her". She smiled fondly.
" What gonna happen to Zoey ?".
" Don't worry about her, one of my relative is going to take care of her. And I know we've just meet, but thank you for hearing me out". As she said that, I wonder where's the father.
" Don't worry, It's just... I know how it feels to lose someone you loved ". I could somewhat relate, I was never loved as a child and when I found friendship, I never wanted to lose it... I guess it was inevitable.
As she stood up from the Chair. " Well, it's pretty late, you can stay for the night. It's too dangerous wandering at night ".
" Thank ". After that, she left me at the kitchen to go to sleep leaving me with my thoughts.' Unfortunate, that a child is going to grow up without a mother '. I pity yet envy the little girl, what I would do to have a loving Mother.
[ Flashback ]
We see a 8 year old Jaune cleaning the dishes until his mother walked in.
" Your still not done ?!."
" Not yet ". While lowering my head.
" Pathetic, You can even do that right. Can't swing a sword, Hell can't even train right. I knew I should have had that Abortion, Clean those plates or all you eat tonight are crumbs ! ". Ending with a smack to my head
But he cleaned the plates to late as his family already devoured Dinner and He was left with nothing.
[ Flashback End
However because of that my mind happened to trail of a bit.
[ Another Flashback ]
It was another training session. Well not exactly, it was actually a beating for young Jaune by his Father. Nearby, his sister's All watch and whispered.
" can't believe he's our brother ".
" Ya, Can't even get his Grades right ".
" Why hasn't Dad just disowned him already. Fucking embarrassment".
And this was a normal day for him.
[ Flashbacks End ]
A loving Mothe-, no... A loving Family. I would have done anything. I then head to sleep.
[ At Bed ]
" Hey GM ". I called out The Game.
[ It seems you want some Answers ]
" I had an Agility stat of 127.2. And I had my Skills activated. So, how the hell did The Ent managed to impaled me with a few Vines."
[ Because of an annoying Game feature called. Atk Speed ]
" You know. Your game system doesn't make sense. You put Reaction speed to Agility. And now this.".
[ Well all Games has a few tweaks here and there. But are you still having Fun ? ]
" Yeah. But it's kind of boring without any Quest ".
[ Your Life is a Game, Not Game is Life. Why are you bored exactly?. The Abyss and other Features is still unexplored ]
" Yeah you're right ".
[ Of course I am B-) ]
" Finally. So how do I sleep ?, I haven't felt tired since the update.' Hey Is there a Sleep Option.".
How long would you like to sleep.
( _ ). Please enter Hours.
[ Current Time : 11:46 pm ]
"I would like to sleep for 8 hours". I immediately felt drowsy and fell asleep.
( 8 Hours Later )
[ Current Time : 7:56 am ]
I didn't know if I wanted to say Goodbye. So I decided to left them 100000 Lien, if she can't use it to save her life then I hope she use it to spend time with her Daughter.
I was almost at the door until I heard a cry for help from Zoey.
" MOM !. PLEASE WAKE UP, PLEASE !". I ran to a room where the cries were.
I saw Samantha lying on the bed totally unconscious and sweatin profusely. And her daughter violently shaking her to wake her up.
" Zoey stop !. Stop shaking her like that ".
When she stop shaking her mother, she begins to cry. " But.. she's not... waking up ". She said through the sobs.
Out of nowhere, Samantha started to cough but after a while, Her cough spew out blood
HP : 1752/1864.
' Shit!'. I lay her head sideways so the blood doesn't choke her.
" Is mommy dying ?. Can't you do anything ?. Please help her. " She beg me for an answer.
" I don't know ". I lost all hope. What can I do ?. I don't know.
Then it hit me. Status Recovery.
" Zoey, stay here with your mother for a while ". I ordered, As I exited the house I asked the Game." Can I cast Status Recovery on someone else".
[ Yes, but it doesn't suppose to heal major condition. But, just this once ;-) ]
" Thank you ". For once I was thankful for the Game.

" C'mon,". Even though I was far away from the house. I stilll could observe from the windows. I Observed Samantha's HP.

' Faster, FASTER !.' I mentally yelled at myself
[ Daily Quest Completed ]
Choose your reward.
" I choose Status Recovery ". I immediately ran back inside. " I'm here, move away Zoey ", I looked down on a Dying Mother, I was her only hope, let's hope I don't screw it.
A bright light Shone from my hands as I hover them above her. ' Please... Please '. I beg,
(* Long inhale *)
Samantha was breathing deeply as she looked brighter and healthier, She tried to stand but I stopped her because she needed to rest. " Hey, Calm down, Don't rush, just rest for now ".
Before she could say anything, her Daughter tackled her in bed. " Mommy, I thought you won't wake up and... and you were coughing red stuff and... and... don't leave me !". She said through watered Sobs and red drooling nose.
" I'm fine dear. And I will never leave you... ever ". She assured her daughter.
" C'mon Zoey, your mother needs some rest, C'mon ". Zoey and I headed for the door, not until Samantha signal me to come back after sending Zoey away ( HOW. EVEN I DON'T KNOW ).
After we exited the room, I tried to say something, that is until I was tackled hug.
" Thank you Mistah J. Thank you for saving my mom ". She broke up the hug and went straight to her room, A soft smile run up my face. I entered back to Samantha's room.
" Is she in her room ?". She asked.
" Yes ". I sat at the end of her bed.
A few minutes pass before she said anything. " I want to say, thank you for... saving me ". She sounded sincere. I was expecting more, but I guess the shock hasn't wore off yet.
" No problem, consider it a thank you for saving me ". I wasn't kidding.
" Was that your Semblance. I'm just guessing but since you have weapon. Your Aura's unlocked and your young. Are you a Hunstman- in training ?." Was she a Detective or something.
" I am or rather was, I got expelled." A note of shame could be heard.
" Not gonna pry anymore, Is just... Just. The last time I saw a Huntsman was my husband and I haven't seen him for a Year ". Sadness was apparent.
" I'm sorry ".
" Don't be, in fact I think he knew the risk. That's why he was a Loving Neighbor, loving father, A loving husband." Tears started to roll down her eyes as she remembers her loved one.
" I... Am... Thankful for taking care of me during my time of need, But I need to go back. " Those were the only words I could say, explaining to her I need to go.
" I understand, Everyone has a place to go. But i'm thankful for Saving my life ". She sounded sad that I had go but was understanding.
" You should probably get some rest, even though you're healed, let your body adjust to it's new condition ".
" I will. " As Samantha closed her eyes I exited her room.
[ 3 Hours Later ]
{ Samantha P.O.V }
Jaune was right, I do feel better after taking a rest. Everytime I took a breather my chest doesn't hurt anymore.
As I exit my room, I walked to Zoey's room.
(*knock*)(*knock*).
" Zoey, are you in there ?". I called out.
" I'm here mommy... Where's Jaune ? ". She asked with sincere." I Haven't seen him after he healed mommy."
" I don't know, but I'm gonna find out, Do you want to come with me dear ?".
" Sure!".
As we walked to Jaune's Temporary room, I opened the door to find it cleaned and empty. With this new info, I frowned because I was going to miss him.
" Mommy, where's Jaune ?". She asked as she noticed his room was empty.
" It appears he already left, sweetie ". I broke the truth to her.
" But... But he didn't even say goodbye " Tears started to roll down from her eyes but after a minute she stopped crying because she smelled something. " Mommy, did you cooked lunch ?".
" No I didn't ". Whoever it is, was cooking something delicious, it smells better than my cooking, which was impossible because my cooking's are great.
As Zoey and I entered the kitchen, we found Jaune cooking and at the table were large cooked Ribs, Caesar salad, and finally Mash potatoes." Hey there, I thought you two were never getting out your room, c'mon, lunch's getting cold". He exclaimed in a energetic happy mood, While cutting the rib's into Three equal pieces with a sharp knife.
" What's this ?". I was Confused yet that didn't stop my smile as Jaune pulled my and Zoey's seats, Zoey was happy that Jaune stayed but was too distracted by the delicious cut Rib on her plate
" It's lunch and if you haven't noticed, You and Zoey didn't eat breakfast ". My stomach immediately growl after he stated the fact.
" Point taken ". as I cut a small piece of the meat and put it in my mouth, an explosion of flavors happened in my mouth. " God, this is so good." I praised his cooking.
" Yea, Jaune this is really good ". My daughter exclaimed while shoving meat to her mouth.( don't get any ideas )
" Thanks, I worked real hard on it ". As he took his seat beside me. " He took a few minutes to think of what to say. " Remember when I said I had someplace ".
" Yes ". Remembering our conversation.
" I lied ". He blurted out.
" You can stay Jaune ". I answered before he could say anything else.
" What ? ". Confused by what he heard.
" Yay, Jaune gonna stay ". Zoey happily exclaimed.
" Really, did you really just ask a stranger to stay with you ? ". Jaune questioned.
" Well I won't asked any stranger, but a stranger who helped me and made us delicious lunch, definitely". I answered with a smug smile.
Jaune didn't give an answer, he only gave a thankful laugh.
[ 1 Hours Later ]
" I give up ". To full to eat and Zoey already fainted from being too full.
" C'mon, foods not yet finished ". Jaune trying to encourage me to eat more.
" I was wrong, your trying to kill me... With food ". I stated dramatically. But Jaune laugh it off.
" If you can't finish, I'll finished it for you guys and do the dishes ". He said, Being nice for us.
" Thanks Jaune ". I thanked him
" Yea, Thanks Mistah. J ". My daughter also thanked.
" You know, I told you that you can call me Jaune, right ? ". He reminded Zoey.
" I know, but I like calling you Mistah. J ". She said with a gleeful smile.
Jaune merely laugh it off and told Zoey to go." Zoey, can you go somewhere else ?, I need to have a conversation with your mother ".
" Okay ". As she went off, my mind asked.' What does he wanna tell me '.
" Miss Samantha-".
" Just call me Samantha ". I corrected him.
" Right, I wanted to say... Thank you, for taking me in and trusting me ". I noticed the sadness in his voice.
" What wrong Jaune ?".
" Nothing, I'm fine ".
" Jaune, my husband was a Hunstman and Everytime he said he was fine, he wasn't ". I attempted to ease him. " When you're ready, I can always lend you my ear." With that said I left Jaune to clean up since he insisted.
{ Jaune P.O.V }
As Samantha exited the kitchen, I was left with my thoughts,
" You can trust her, I mean she took care of you and she's understanding ". A Chibi Angel Jaune explained. However Chibi Devil Jaune retaliate.
" We thought the same thing about our ' FRIENDS ' And you know what happened, they abandoned us and tried to kill us. Yang Broke a few of our ribs, Weiss stab us through the gut and Nora tried to break our legs. And there's nothing in the news about that and you wanna know why ?, because people don't give a shit about us. HELL!, Yang out trashing Club's without a care in the world". At this point Chibi Devil started to calmed down. " So listen Jaune, don't tell shit and you won't get shit ". Devil Chibi Jaune is pretty convincing.
At this point, Real Jaune was utterly convinced to never tell the truth. Until Angel Chibi point out.
Angel Chibi Jaune sigh." Jaune, I understand you don't want people to know that your a fraud, a liar and a disgrace. But Jaune if don't tell them, it's just going to sting more. And if you do tell them and they hate you... What will you lose ?... you already lost everything ".
Real Jaune didn't answer, he ate the leftover and cleaned the kitchenware, after he was done, he left the kitchen.
However in the kitchen the two Chibi Jaune was still there.
" So, aren't we supposed to go poof or something ? ". Chibi Angel Jaune asked.
" Yeah I don't know either ".
" ... Oh wait I feel something "

' What more do I have to lose ? '. Those thoughts bounced around his head.' I have nothing to lose '. I paced around the house to find Samantha. After a few minutes, I found her outside sitting in a wooden chair besides another chair in a porch, observing Zoey playing." All right, just tell her everything, right it's not that hard. Hey Samantha i'm a Beacon dropout and I've been publicly shame by everyone I knew ". Jaune quietly spoke to himself.
" You were ?! ". Samantha asked in surprised, apparently having overheard me talking to myself.
" ... No... Maybe? ". Attempting to save my relationship with this family, but in the end I told the truth. " Yes... ". Hanging my head down with shame.
Samantha... Smiled ?. " So... Why where you expelled ". She asked nonchalantly as if she didn't care.
But because she seem to not care about the fact I was a disgrace, I'm felt more comfortable telling her. " I... May have faked my transcript to enter Beacon Academy ".
" That... Doesn't sound so bad ". She said as it sounded like a small thing.
But before she could continue, I blurted all the reasons why I was expelled.
" Okay, it's actually because I'm from a lineage of warriors but I've have zero combat experience and I haven't even unlocked my Aura. When It was exposed the entire school hated me and my Friends who I thought will be there for me, Abandoned me, and when my Family found out, they publicly Disowned me and Shamed me, after that my ex-friends attempted to kill me about a month ago... I'll leave if you want me to ". My Head hanging down in shame.
"... Why ?". Her brown eyes stare at my eyes." I mean, so what if you got expelled, what does that have to do with me going to hate you." She casually explained. After a while, she started giggling to full blown laughter." It's ironic. In a world full of monsters, bandits and terrorist, that school expelled someone who can cure even cancer and can survive being impaled." She sounded disgusted by that last part." Seriously, what are you ?".
I only stared at her, questioning her intentions. But as I remembered her statement, I also laughed at the irony of it.
" I'm sorry for not telling sooner. It's just, I thought that my friends will be there till the end like we promised... But they lied. My so called 'friends' left me at a blink of an eye, I mean I only knew them a few months. And I met you yesterday, if you think about it, you can see why I didn't told you sooner ". Emotionally tired, I sat beside Samantha on the chair, my blue eyes looked at her to hear her answer.
She took a minute to find an answer, when she did. She softly smiled." Yeah, I don't care about what you were, I care about you now ". The wind blew pleasingly around her, her head perked up, signifying she remembered something. " Jaune. When I met my husband it was still a pretty rasict time even though he was a Hunstman, so imagine. A human female and a male faunas. And because of that, we moved here and he was a loving husband, and when he was hurt, he laughed it off. There were sometime grief in his eyes after a mission and he laughed it off. When I asked him about why did he laughed so much. He answered " Because, I want to be remembered as the happiest man who ever lived " . " Do you know what he meant ?". she asked.
" No ". I was becoming more interested of her husband.
" ... What he meant was... He didn't care... Not that way but what he meant was he accepted the fact that life has a few bump and 'WILL' bite you in the ass unexpectedly. Like when I found out I had Cancer. It was surprising to say at least, a young mother who's been living happily hit a Cancerous bump in Life's Road. My husband was there every step of the way, I can remember every moment, when I was being Bitchy, Depressed and straight up mourning. Yet, he was there every step of the way. He is... ' Was ' the love of my life." At this point, her eyes started to tear up.
" When... How did he die ? ". I asked.
She looked at me and then at the field to see Zoey playing and smiled. " A Year ago, my husband went on a mission because it was his job of course. two Months passed and I genuinely started to worry. He had never been in a mission for more then a week. When someone knocked on my door, I rushed to open it expecting my husband. Turns out, it was the Headmaster of Beacon. As I greeted him, all he told me was that he's sorry and proceeded to hand me my husband dried bloodied weapon." She didn't cry, she only looked at the vast nearby Forest.
" I'm sorry for asking ".
" It's fine. At some point in mourning, your gonna have to accept the fact that the person has moved on."
I stopped asking questions for today and just enjoy the view I had, until Samantha asked me.
" Jaune. Can you help me with Zoey ?".
" What about Zoey ?".
" Oum knows I haven't fully process my grief. But Zoey is still a good kid and while she seems 'Cheerful', She's still loved her father. She misses him ".
" Love is not forgotten easily, but I can never replace him. Hell, I don't even know her age ". I stated.
" I'm not asking you to replace, I am asking to make her feel better, Happier. I can't do this alone, I tried to but I couldn't. Zoey seems to really like you. And I trust you... She's Eight by the way ". Still Smiling, she looked at me for an answer.
" But how can you trust me ?. You only met me yesterday. " I asked.
" Well, I'm a very instinctive person ". She joked.
[ Samantha Drake Is Now Recognized As FRIEND ]
As I laughed. I looked at Zoey playing in the front yard. I remembered my own Childhood and remembered how shitty it was, I don't want Zoey's childhood be only about grieving." I'll try to make Zoey happy ".
" Thanks Jaune. Now I'ma gonna make lemonade, want some ?". She asked me.
" Sure ". I answered.
As Samantha went inside. Zoey came up to me asking me what we were talking about. " So what did Mistah.J and mommy talking about ?."
" Oh, nothing. Just growned-up stuff. " I reassured her.
Zoey tried to think another topic until she decided to invite me to play hide and seek." Mistah. J, wanna play hide and seek ?."
" Sure, how about I go first ? ". I lead.
" Ok, remember to count to Ten ".
" Ok. Make sure you hide inside. I don't want you to hide in the Woods ".
" Ok ". She went inside the house as I count Ten.
" 7..8..9..10 Ready or not here I come." As I entered, I haven't really familiarize myself with the inside of the house.
It's a 1-floored House but Wide. I saw Three rooms. Master Bedroom, Zoey's room, and my room ( Before, I guess it was storeroom because they're were a lot of unrelated junk ). As you enter, you are greeted by the Living room which has 2 Sofa's, A coffee table in the middle, and a 50-inch T.V in front of the Sofas. The floor is covered with blue carpets and the ceilings are painted white. Because of the natural light coming from the windows, it was more comfortable.
" Where could she be hiding ?". I was looking for any clues to find her.
[ New Skill created = Tracking ]
- 2% more sensitive Sense's in Tracking

Okay Nice, looks like I have to find a another Skill for it to be more effective.
I couldn't find Zoey in the living room so I proceeded to search next in the kitchen where Samantha were.
" Ya Know. I haven't really explore the place but for a House outside of the kingdom, it's pretty nice ". I complimented Samantha.
" Yea, We tried to make living in the wild more comfortable. I've assume you've already greeted the nearby village ?." She asked
When I was buying ingredients for breakfast. I discovered that Samantha's house was at the edge of the village and somewhat farther away, about half a mile. The village was decent, there were mostly brick- House's and I was impressed by the Defenses. there's Guards, and a blacksmith.
There were both Faunas and Human Villagers. They were fairly nice, some greeted me, However probably due to Arc's Disgrace Some of the villagers were glaring at me but i ignored them.
Remembering my time at the village, I answered " Well not so, I wasn't there for a long time but when I was buying the Ribs the Butcher seems... Nice, Granted He had an odd smell ".
" His name's Mercer, by the way ". she told me the Butcher's name
" Mercer the Butcher?... Is it me or does it sound -"
" Like a serial killer's name, Yeah it does ." She finished my sentences." But, he's still a nice man... Even with his personality ". As she finished, I immediately had a flashback of him.
[ Flashback ]
We see Jaune walked up to the Butcher's store were he meet a Tall, skinny yet toned, Bald and had detached face. He wore an apron that was bloodied from... Butchering of course.
" Hello. Welcome, anything you like to purchase today sir ? ". His voice was devoid of any emotions whatsoever.
" Well I like to buy Cow Ribs ". I ordered.
" Your order will be here soon ". As he leaves there was a odd smell lingering in the air.
" Your order is here "
I was surprised by his sudden arrival. " Oh Oum, where did you come from ?!"
" I'm sorry. It appears I have a tendency to... Sneak up ". Imagine hearing that from a Man who looks like he's gonna kill you.
" Yeah, Thanks for the meat. How much is it ?".
" Oh. Don't worry, It's on the house. My only request is that you don't put to much Lettuce in your Ceaser Salad, Zoey and Samantha don't like salad that much ". Still in his emotionless tone
" Haha ". I uncomfortably laugh." Hey, how did you know I was gonna make Ceaser Salad ?, Or that I living with them ". Now I'ma bit freaked out.
" Oh you know, people talked. But how I know your going to make Ceaser Salad, Well I learned to be... Observant of people and what their plans are. When they'll be at their Strongest. And when they'll be at their... Lowest.". Oh my God, he's gonna kill someone.
To evade the possibility of being his next victim, I gave an excuse to stop this conversation. " You know what. I better head on home, Cooking Prime Ribs requires a lot of time to prepare like marinating and roasting and... Other stuff. Okay, goodbye now ".
" Goodbye. But before you go, I have to leave a warning. Sometime's People tend to ignore the dark side of a respected person and will believe everything that person's says." He warned with cold, Dead eyes.
He's right. I needed to be more careful of people who are familiar with the Arc's. I then head home.
[ Flashback End ]
" Yeah, he was... ' Weird ' but if you see beyond that you can see a friendly guy ". I explained. Defending the Butcher.
" Thanks for not judging him. Most people really just ignores him ". She then pours me a cup of lemonade. " Want some ?".
" Sure ". As the refreshingly sweet liquid flow down my throat I continue my search for Zoey.
It took me 3 minutes but I managed to find her hiding in her room underneath the bed.
" Okay, now's my turn ". Zoey with an energetic smile.
" Sorry Zoey, but your mom made lemonade buy after that, then we can continue ". I broke it down to Zoey.
Zoey pouted but I managed to convince her.
[ The Kitchen ]
{ 7 : 05 PM }
There we were, all three of us in the kitchen. I was drinking delicious lemonade while Zoey plays with her toys.
" So Samantha... What do you do for a living ? ". I question to make small talk
" Oh, I'm the Village Doctor ". I guess that's why she took care of me basically alone.
" Well. Your an amazing Doctor ". The silent akwardness didn't help think of a conversation topic. " So, does the villagers know about me ? "
" Well a few know but people talk so... You know ". She started to smack her lips while bopping her head " Yeah "
" Anything I should know about ?, I need to make a good impression on them "
" Well, like 15% of the villagers here are really familiar with the Arc's or at least heard of them "
' Well. Shit '. I mentally cursed." That's... Great. That's very... Terrific ". I didn't sound 'great'.
" So, any plans for dinner ?. Do You have any allergies or something ? ". She asked to not endanger my health.
" Nope, I am allergies- Free. Although, I may be allergic to Pollen but that's a different thing ".
" Hey I'm also allergic to pollen especially when I'm at - "
" Forever Falls ". Samantha and I said In unison." Oh, you've been to Forever Falls ? ". Samantha asked.
" Well once, During a training session. We were supposed to collect Tree sap from the Forest. What were you doing there ? ".
" I wasn't exactly there. I rode the Train and The Train happen to passed through, But I gotta say. It was beautiful. "
" Yeah... It is ". My faced morph into sorrow. Remembering my short time there. I was so distracted by that, I didn't hear what Samantha was saying.
" Jaune... JAUNE ! ". Samantha practically yelled at my face.
" Oh. Yeah, What did you say ? ".
" Well. A few weeks from now, there's gonna be a celebration. We celebrate the anniversary of when the Village was founded and I think it's the best day to introduce you to everyone." Samantha explained.
" Oh. Ok can't wait ". I Thought of all the ways to greet people until I remembered." Hey, you know a tailor somewhere. I've been wearing my spare white T-shirt I brought along ".
" From where ?. I didn't find a Bag when I checked you ". She wondered.
" Oh. I carry stuff somehow without a bag ". I didn't want to tell them about The Game and the convenience of Inventory.
" Well, there's a Tailor Shop near here. I'll bring you along, I need to pick up my nice dress for the anniversary."
" Thanks ". I resume drinking lemonade.
" Mom, can I watch Tv ?". Zoey asked.
" Sure sweetie ". Samantha permitted Zoey to watch the television.
" Mistah. J want to watch Tv with me ?".
" Sure kiddo ". I answered as I followed Zoey to the living room.
[ Living Room ]
Sitting down on a very comfortable Sofa, I questioned Zoey on TV-preference." So what's your favorite Show ?"
" The Amazing World of Bubblegum! ". She happily replied.
" That's the show about the Cat and Fish. Right?"
" Yup. Have you watched it ?".
" Well some, I haven't really watched a lot of TV or anything fun actually. I guess I've been busy. But I am a fan of X-ray and Vav "
" What's that?". To my shock. Zoey had unexpectedly never heard of X-ray and Vav.
" Wait. Wait... Wait. you've never read the most awesome comic ever ! ". I attempted to convince a little girl to watch a cartoon.
" No. I only watch Cartoons. "
" X-ray and Vav got greenlight to be a full-fledged Series. Granted it only lasted 2 Season. But it's still an awesome show ".
" Is it still on ? ".
" No. It was cancelled, but I'll get you the DVD or Comics ".
[ Convincing Failed. You Did Not Receive Skill { Convince } ]
" Okay. But can I watch The Amazing World of Bubblegum ? ".
" Sure ". As I glued my eyes to the TV.
The next 30 Minutes were filled with Laughing Gags and questionable Comedic Violence.
" Well that was actually a funny show ". I commented about the Cartoon series.
" Oh you haven't seen nothing yet ". As she switched the channel to another.
" Hey. I noticed you have a lot of free time. Don't you have school or something?".
" I'm homeschooled "
" Oh okay. I'm gonna go to the bathroom for a while ". I got up to go to the restroom.
" Okay bye ".
[ One Pee-Break Later ]
' The toilet is surprisingly comfortable '. I thought as I exit.
As I walked back to join Zoey. I noticed the absence of Samantha. Worried, I searched for her to find her in her bedroom looking at a Photo album while crying. I decided not to disturb her.
When I arrived at the Living room. Zoey wasn't there but merely waiting in front of the door. " Hey Zoey. What you waiting for ?".
" Daddy ". She mumbled but loud enough for me to hear. " Mommy said that Daddy not coming back because he's on super duper secret mission ". The Naive tone only broke my heart.
Samantha entered the living room but I signaled her to let me handle this.
" Yea, your Dad's on a mission. But I don't think he's coming back ".
" Why ? ". Her voice started to crack because she was about to cry.
" Well. Because the place is very. Very far away and he won't come home soon."
At this point. Zoey started crying." But he promised me. HE PROMISED !". Zoey shrieked.
I hug her to comfort her. " Zoey. Zoey, you Dad not coming home but he would have wanted you to be happy and have fun and... I don't know your Father that well. But he loved you and I want you to know. No matter where he is. He will always love you ".
Zoey's crying settled down a bit but she continued to cry on my shoulder.
Samantha who was watching. Hugged us and also cried happy tears. It was a 10 minute hig but Zoey cried herself to sleep on my shoulder.
Samantha noticed her asleep." Looks like Zoey asleep. Here let me put her to bed.".
I stopped her." No, let me put her to bed ". As I carried her to her room. She was sleeping soundly at my shoulder.
Her room was huge. A single bed, A cabinet and wardrobe. And a personal Bathroom. As I layed her down in bed and carefully cover her with a blanket, to tiptoed quietly out the door.
" Jaune ". Zoey called out.
" Oh, your still awake ? ".
" Can't sleep... Can you tell me a story ? ".
I approached near her bed and sat down at the end of the bed." Okay. so where are the Books ?".
" No, I don't want an old story. I want a new one ". Zoey pouted.
" Haha, Ok. Ok. Let me remember some. let's see... Um ". I tried to think of an interesting story for an 8 year old girl." Ok I got one. "
[ Story world ]
Once upon a time. There was a little 9 year old girl. She had nothing. No friends, No family and No one.
She wanted to have a friend and a family. So she asked many people on how to get them. All of the merely laughed or felt pity for her.
She was about to give up until a wise man told her ." If you want the one's you seek. Then you will to travel afar and away from this place ". The wise man said.
The little girl who doesn't know better, complied And set of to an unknown world. She was afraid of course but she had Hope. Packing up her essentials and some money in a bag. She begin her journey.
In the Beginning of her adventure. She met a Young man, possibly 15 or 16 doesn't matter.
( Break )
Zoey : Doesn't matter ?
Jaune : Hey, your lucky that I can even think of a story for you. You should have expected a few holes here and there. Now where was I ?. Oh right.
( Break )
Anyway. The boy asked " Where are you going ?".
" I'm gonna find a family ". The naive girl replied.
" Oh I know where to find them ".
" You do ?".
" Yup. What's your name? "
( Break )
Jaune : Ooh right. I didn't give her a name.
Zoey : How about Beth ?
Jaune : Beth ?. Sure why not.
( Break )
" My name is Beth. what's yours "
" Call me Mark... Hey, how about I carry that heavy bag for you when I'm guiding you to find a family."
Okay. Beth naively gave her bag to the stranger... And he ran away... With her bag.
Zoey : What ?!.
Jaune : Don't worry, It's a long story.
Zoey : Why is it long ?.
Jaune : So I'll bored you to sleep.
Zoey : Haaha nice try but I drank mommy's Coffee.
Jaune : Seriously ?. Ok whatever.
( Break )
" Wait come back !. Please don't take my bag ". Beth tried to stop the thief but Mark was so much faster. " Oh fidel-sticks ". She 'Cursed ? '
( Break )
Zoey : Fidel-sticks ?
Jaune : Everyone's a critic
( Break )
As Beth wander further into the dirt road. A traveling merchant ridin a carriage stopped beside her.
" Little girl. What are doing, walking down a road without anything ?. " A old, fat man with a large mustache asked. { It's Port BTW }
" I'm going to find a family. But someone stole my Bag ". She explained.
" Well, how about you come on and take a ride with me to the nearest city. "
" Oh. I would love to ". She exclaimed.
( Break )
Jaune : Remember. this is a story. So if a complete stranger asked you to take a ride with him. Say ' no '.
( Break )
As they arrived at the nearest city. The merchant gave Beth a little bit of money.
" Here. Something you can buy for your travels ". As Port gave Beth some money.
" Thanks. Hey Uncle, what's your name ?".
" The name's is Peterson Port Armstrong. But you can call me Port ".
" Thank you Port. I hope we meet again ".
" I hope so too ". Port hoped.
( Break )
" And that's the end for now ". I stated.
" But I wanna hear moreeee ! ". She exclaimed.
" No. It's late, you should be asleep right now. Don't worry I'll continue tomorrow, right now go to sleep." I ordered.
" Alright ". She pouted as she went to sleep.
I exited her room quietly and decided to spend some time alone at the kitchen. as I sat down at the kitchen table, I poured myself a cup of tea that I brew myself just now. As I contemplate today's events, I was interrupted by Samantha.
" Trouble sleeping ?". She asked.
" Yes and No. I just prefer being alone at night ".
" Well usually that means they have a lot in their minds...Or they're Owl faunas ".
" ... Really ? ". I stared at her with a raised eyebrow.
" Yeah, Bad joke. My husband told it to me once. Hey do you think that joke just funny among Faunas or just offensive ?".
" Maybe some Jokes should be kept with the right people, like people used to joke about Mistral people suck at driving. But if you told that joke in this current era, you'll probably be labeled as a rasict." I explained
" Man, it's getting harder and harder to be a Comedian ". Both of us laugh at her reply.
" But anyway. Why are you still awake Samantha? ". I asked her.
" I have problems. Remember ? ".
" Wanna talk about them ? ".
" How we pass around problems. You tell me your problems and I'll tell you mine, You first ". She suggested.
" Sure. What do want to hear first ? ".
" How about the basics. Your age, full name. Bla, bla, bla.?"
" Well. My name is Jaune... Um, let's just call me Jaune for now. I'm 17 years old and my favorite movie is Watchmen. Your turn."
" My name is Samantha Drake. I'm 32 years old and I'm a village doctor ". we both giggle at the end.
" Hey I have a question. Your the Village doctor, yet you live in the edge of the village ? "
" Well. Since my Husband was a Huntsman. He could deployed to protect the village fast and I could help anybody injured ." She explained." My brings you to the Forest ?".
" Well, I wanted to train myself. But I encountered a Deathstalker and I got impaled but I managed to get away. " I somewhat lie.

" Goodnight to you too ". She went to her room.' Another day here... Maybe I should call Junior. Nah, maybe it's best just to leave everything behind '. Jaune looked around the kitchen and thought of the two family members that accepted him.' And start anew'. He finished his thoughts.

As I layed down on my bed in my new room. I remembered I haven't really grind or level up, I did discover some new Skills but not intentionally.

[ Tailor Shop ]
After a delicious meal of Fried rice for breakfast. Samantha and I are heading to the Tailor's to get some clothes. As we entered, Samantha greeted an old man. He was short, his skin wrinkled and he wore glasses. His clothing however were simple. A stripe yellow button shirt and long pants.
" Ollie. It's me !, got my dress yet ? ". She greeted jokingly.
" It wouldn't kill you to say hello you know ". He said but didn't bother anymore, probably used to Samantha's antic's. His voice was soft yet rugged.
" Ollie. I would like you to meet a Jaune ". She introduced me.
" John ? ".
" It's Jaune ". I corrected him.
" What's the difference ? ". He walked away." So. What does ' John ' need ?"
I look at Samantha to ask her about him but she told me he's just old.
"Well I need something nice for the upcoming celebration and I want to make a good first impression." I listed.
" Got a few ideas. I'm gonna need some measurements for Saiz of course ". I followed him to a private room.
As he wrapped a measuring tape around my waist. I decided to strike up a conversation. " So... I heard next week you guys are celebrating the Village Anniversary. Any small details I should know ?".
" Didn't Sam told you about this things ?. Sorry I'm not good with outsider's. Especially anything involving our village troublemaker."
" Is she really that troublesome ?. She's the village doctor ".
" Ironic isn't it. Let me ask you, did she ask you to stay for a while ?".
" ... Nooo ? "
" Your a terrible liar... Like Charlie ". His voice saddened when he mentioned that person's name.
" Sorry, if I upset you ". I apologized.
" No need. Charlie was Sam's husband. Him and I were closed. I assume she spoke of him? ".
" She has. He sounds like a good guy ".
" He was." He stopped measuring me and looked straight into my eyes." Listen kid. I don't trust you but Sam does, but if you hurt her in any way. You'll have Hell to pay. Got it ? ". He threatened.
" I got it ". I whimpered." Is everyone in the village close ?". I genuinely asked.
" We have to. It's a small village. But there are some that hate each other. Now this is another warning if you're staying. Never let Sam cook her so called famous ' Shrimp Broth '. You can let her cook anything else but don't let her Cook that. If you do, you'll live in the toilet for 2 weeks and you taste nothing but that 'Broth'. Got it ?" He warned.
I just nodded in confirmation.
[ Oliver Rako Is now recognized as ' Friendly Stranger ' ]
" Okay, I am nearly complete. Is there anything else I can do for you ". He asked after finishing measuring me.
" Yeah, um I have a torn leather Jacket and I hope you can fix it l. "
" Sure, just give it to me later or - ".
" Actually. I have it right now ". I pass him my torn Jacket.
" Where did you put that ? ". He noticed my lack of physical storage.
" Um... Pockets ? ". I lied.
" Like I said. ' Terrible Liar ' ". He smiled. " If you really want nobody to know your past. Make sure ' You ' believe your lie." He advised.
[ Due to helpful advice. Skill [ Poker Face ] leveled up ]
" Thanks for the advice. Can you tell me more about her ? ".
" Who ? ". He probably didn't hear me.
" Samantha, who else ?"I gently asked.
" Like I said. She ironically the village accidental troublemaker. Maybe it's her semblance but she doesn't have aura, who knows. But she always bring problems unintentionally."
" Like what? "I was genuinely curious.
" ... Well there was that time she accidentally cause a power outage ".
" That... Doesn't sound so ba- ".I was cut off.
" 8 times...In the same day ". He finished.
" Wow... that's bad ". We both laughed.
" Hey. Don't tell her, I said that. ".
" Okay ".
I walked to the waiting room to find Samantha waiting for me. When Samantha noticed me, she walked up to me.
" Took you long enough. What were you talking about ?". She asked why I was late.
" Small talks about thepeople here ".
" Really ? "
" Yeah. where are we going now ? "
" Home. Are you ready ? ".
" Yeah let's go home ". As we exited the tailor shop. I asked Samantha about the Blackout incident." Hey how do you cause a power outage 8 time ".
" UGH. It was that one time ! ". She practically yelled in the streets.
