Anyway don't let me hold ya up, Enjoy!
4-Level 3: Preparing for a Journey
Your Health, Mana and Aura have been fully replenished through sleep
Well now I know what sleeping does. But then again I'm not really that surprised but I'm glad to know it's there. I rose from the bed I was sleeping on before stretching out my limbs. I then put my clothes on before heading out the door looking for the kitchen. I just followed the smell and it lead me directly to it, where Yang and Ruby were sitting at the table.
"Morning Connor". Ruby and Yang said turning in my direction "Mornin".
"Morning girls. Where's Tai?" I asked regarding their fathers whereabouts. Which made me look around and behind me…just to be sure.
"He went out on an errand, he'll be back in the afternoon". Yang answered.
"Oh, alright then". I said before sitting down.
"You want anything I got pancakes and bacon cooking". Yang said as she went over to the pan over the stove.
"Just some pancakes will be fine thanks". I answered.
"So how are you going to ramp up your regiment by the time we get to Beacon anyway?" The blonde brawler asked.
"Well I was a drifter for some time before I met you Ruby so I just need to make it harder and enduring than normal" I said which got Yang's attention. "That sounds like fun". She said as she laid the plate in front of me which I thanked her before responding and taking a bit of my breakfast.
"Well the regiment was made for me along but once I figure out how to make it for all I'll let you know Yang". I said which made the Yellow of future team RWBY smile at me.
"Well don't hog it all to yourself forever now ok? I wanna know what you learned by yourself, hell I might be able to outlast you once I know it".
"Yea I'll hold you up to that". I smiled as I finished my Pancakes.
"Oh I'm sure you will". She said with a prideful smirk.

'Well you can't have too many friends'. I thought as I stood up and put my plate in the sink. "Anyway I'm off to train, see ya later girls". I said as walked outside the house and made my way behind the house and I got a notification.
HUD (Heads Up Display) Activated
Why didn't it do so last night? I'll never know. On my HUD I saw my Party members in the top right corner of my vision along with their HP and AP meters next to their names. My HP, AP and MP meters in the bottom left, my HP showing Red, AP in Green and MP in Blue. My Weapon and ammo in the bottom right. But in the top left was clear…probably where the map is going to be.
'Activate instant Dungeon'. I thought as the area then changed into an open area, similar to the Void in Devil May Cry 5.
Several variations of Grimm Appeared. I pulled out ANZAC and equipped my Cestus's. I went to the Background music and found a song that seemed appropriate for this current situation. I selected the music and it began playing. "Observe". I said cocking the hammer on my Casull.

Creep X3
HP: 250/250
Status: Enraged
.
Alpha Beowulf
HP: 650/650
Status: Observing
I charged at the horde of Grimm. I ran up and hammer struck one of the Beowulfs in the head doing 25 DMG then brought my pistol up to its chin and pulled the trigger blowing half its head off doing 210 CRT-DMG. I then rapidly fired into the creature's throat to finish it off before it fell back dead.
New Skill has been developed-Execution (Active)
'Not a good time right now'. I thought to myself as I then took aim at a nearby Creep and fired 4 shots into it dealing 25 DMG each (100 DMG) before shifting ANZAC into Gurkha mode and sliced it from the stomach up to its head killing it. Another Creep decided to attack from my left and tackled me to the ground dealing 50 AP DMG, so in other words it slammed into me hard. I kept its jaws from clamping down on my head as I held it back from the top jaw. Luckily my Cestus was equipped when we started, the hand I held the Grimm back with started to burn with fire and fired a fireball in its mouth making it back off for me to kick it away from me and get back on my feet doing 15 DMG. I quickly recovered and fired the rest of the clip into it doing 25 DMG with the last three shots before reloading. The Creep managed to get back on its feet, with the smoke coming from in its mouth charged at me. I changed the pistol back to Gurkha mode and swung low as I slit its throat causing 100 CRT-DMG on impact and 10 DMG every second for bleeding out for roughly 3 seconds before dropping dead.
I then turned to the other two and charged up my Fireball and tossed it into the other two making it explode, luckily killing them in a single blast.
"Well I guess that was lucky of me. Doubt I can make it happen again, but I'm glad it did" I said to myself as I turned my attention to the other Grimm. I rushed the Alpha and sliced it across the chest 3 three times doing 150 DMG, I then followed up by jumping in the air, switching weapons and slamming my blade on the ground performing a BLADE CRUSH, knocking it back and changing to rifle mode and dealing 115 DMG all together but managed to get up. I swapped back to ANZAC and fired two bursts into its legs crippling it both dishing out 45 DMG each, then I my left fist was now coated in Rocks and then punched it in the snout causing 65 DMG with it being blown back and rag dolled into a tree with 30 DMG on impact.
"Burn!" I called as I slammed my fist into its skull causing cracks along the mask along with making a scorch mark on it dealing 50 DMG. 'Observe' I thought to inspect how much health this thing had.
Alpha Beowulf
HP: 240/650
Status: Wounded
"Let's wrap this up shall we?" I said aloud. As the Alpha recovered he charged putting it all on the table with me doing the same. I then ran forward and slid under it and sliced its legs causing it to fall forward inflicting 45 DMG, I then followed up with a PAIN WAVE and dealt 110 CRT-DMG making it rag doll a few feet. I walked up to it, stabbed it in the neck doing 40 DMG before Curb stomping its head for the finishing blow. "Get's the blood pumping...to my loins! OH!" I taunted the dead Grimm. I went over to the Alpha and collected the loot it contained. It had 3000 Lien which was good and something else which caught my eye. 'Observe'.
Steel Armor Blueprint (Green)
The most basic armour to build and is very reliable and easy to repair if damaged. It is also dust Infusible.

'Well more protection would never hurt anybody, Observe'
Red Orb.
Crystallised gem that has the scent of Blood on it. Use it to activate an event.
'Red orb? From Devil May Cry? How does this work?' I thought as I stuffed the money in my inventory. "Well I'll find out later. Levelling now sorting loot later".
LEVEL UP! X3
New Titles are now available
I looked over my stats and allocated two points into my LUCK and one point into my WIS. I looked into my skills to observe the new skill I recently got.
Execution (Passive)
An attack that does devastating damage that can instantly kill an enemy in one go. This ability only works when the said enemy's health is low.
'Well it doesn't joke about the instant kill. Titles'.
Available locked titles.

Rising Legend 0/4 [Play all RWBY trailer songs with each member of team RWBY] (Effect Locked)
Rose Thorn [Establish a Relationship with Ruby Rose] (Effect Locked)
'Damn that's a number of titles. And with the last one? I dunno'. I thought uncertain about the Rose thorn title. I mean I like Ruby before I got here but now I'm having second thought about doing so because I don't wanna get my face smashed in by her sister. "Well I got some titles but I don't know their effects until I get to a certain point. That sucks a little". I muttered to myself. As I then saw an Ursa appear.
"Round 2 it is then" I smirked as I rested Thorn on my shoulder.
I trained for quite a while and I will admit I made some good progress but I still got a ways to go until I'm ready for Beacon. I managed to Level up three more times and raised my WIS by two and my DEX by one since I felt that they were lacking a little. I did manage to collect 2000 lien from the common Grimm since the Alpha was practically the boss, just finished off his minions during the rest of the training session.
"Time to call it a day and pick this up again tomorrow". I said to myself. "Escape I.D". I said as the I.D faded back into reality as if I never left the house. I walked inside and was met with both sisters on the couch. "Ruby you still up for making a Shotgun along with some armour?" I asked the little red. "Of course! Just let me get everything ready, meet me at the back of the house ok? Ok see ya!" She said a bit too fast as she sped off to where ever the forge was leaving me and Yang behind. I merely scratched the back of my head as I looked at Yang as she did the same.
"Does she usually do this?" I asked the older sister. "Well when it comes to weapons…yea you can expect that a lot". She shook her head in amusement.
"Well anyway better not keep the little speedster waiting". I chuckled.
"Oh Connor by the way where were you Ruby and I went looking for you but we couldn't find you anywhere". Yang asked me.
"Oh I just went off somewhere where I could train by myself. Don't take it personally but I've done it for a while now and It's something that's always been second nature". I explained.
"Well we're going to Beacon soon and you need to train with others if you're going to pass any combat exams they may have". Yang stated.
"And you don't?" I asked with a raised brow.
"Connor...c'mon". She said gesturing to all of herself with a smug look on her face.
"Fair enough love". I replied with my hands in mock defeat as i then made my way to the back of the house.
Closeness with Yang Xiao Long has increased
'Seriously?' I mentally deadpanned before continuing to look for Ruby.
"We should be just about done…and, done!" I said as I wiped the sweat from my brow as Ruby did the same as we finished the USAS 12.
"It's finally finished! What else could we do?" Ruby asked as she put a set of tools down.
"Well next is some added protection". I said as I pulled out the Armor Blueprint for me and Ruby to inspect. "This is pretty simple I'll get some Ingots and what else do we need?" She asked as she start walking off to get the materials. "We may need at least four Steel Ingots and…five meters of leather. Think you can-" "Got it!" She said with the materials in her hands.
"That was fast, you must be really eager to help huh?" I smiled.
"Of course I am we're both going to Beacon and we need you to pass for you to enter the school. Besides this is the most fun I've had with anyone really. Normally other kids think I'm weird when it comes to weapons and all that". She said shyly as we started working on the armour set.
"It's fine Ruby really. I'm just glad I got someone who shares a similar interest as me, and is willing to help me out let alone stay at their house. Really it's really generous of you". I said trying to lift her spirits. Which worked as she then brought a smile to her face, along with a blush.
As we worked on the armour I discovered that with the crafting system the materials needed were pretty easy for lower ranking weapons, however I feel that Purple and Orange weapons will need something insane to be made. With armour each piece composed of it are the Leggings, Gauntlets and Chest plate and/or helmet, this set didn't come with one. And when the item was built the Blueprint didn't disappear, instead it is just stored into a Blueprint section in my Inventory. We then put the last of the pieces together and looked at each individual one. The chest plate gave basic protection and the shoulder pads were a little bulky but it was made to block against weapon strikes. The leggings looked and were light so they didn't hinder mobility along with the leggings.
I tried on the armour and I gotta say I looked pretty good in it as I put it over the current clothes I was wearing and I was still able to put my hood over my head, plus it looked good with my Cestus's.
"So? How do I look?" I said turning myself around for her to see all of me. "You look like a real Hunter Connor. How does it feel?" She complemented before asking her question.
"It feels not too light or not too heavy. It feels just right and it doesn't restrict my trench coat which is really good". I replied as I unequipped my armour and my Cestus's and went over to the Shotgun. "Now this is only going to be a temporary weapon until I can get something better. When I do I can scrap it and use the parts to make something better". I said as I aimed down the sights of the Shotgun and inspected it, double checking that there weren't things we missed. "Ok, Ruby pass me a clip of 12 Gauge please let's test this bad boy out". I smirked which got her really excited on firing it. She handed me the clip and we went over to a firing range we set up. I loaded the clip and cocked the lever back and aimed down the sights. "Weapons hot!" I called signalling that I'm ready to fire and then flipped the safety off. I aligned the sights with my target and fired a single shot shattering the target. I then fired again and destroyed another, I switched to full auto and unleashed a barrage down range and shattered any target that was in the way." Clear!" I called switching the safety on and stowing away the gun in my inventory.
"I think the gun was a complete success!" She exclaimed. "Damn straight. Let's call it a day huh?" I chuckled as we packed everything away and headed back inside the house.
