Grimm Satisfaction
Chapter 3
A Deadly Encounter
I watched as the Beowolf crawled closer and closer to the house. How is a Beowolf here? Did it sense my negative emotions? Is it going to kill Yang and me?
In my anguish the Beowolf sensed me. Turning it's bony head towards me it launched forward straight towards me. Oh, no! I spun around and jumped forward away from my window.
Crash! The Beowolf smashed right through the window sending glass everywhere. It took damage, reducing its health. It didn't seem affected at all and got right back up. Before it could charge again, I ran out of my room slamming the door shut. I ran as hard as I could to the kitchen. Knives can be an effective weapon against Grimm, right?
I didn't get far when a resounding crack echoed in the house. The Beowolf went right through the door and crashed into the wall. I was momentarily stunned by it's stupidity. Is it really that dumb?
Entering the kitchen I saw a variety of kitchen utensils. Most of them would be useless in this situation, but I'll have to make do with what's there. Quickly grabbing the closest knife, a small six inch long knife, I climbed onto the counter and waited for the Beowolf.
The Beowolf slowly entered and spots me immediately. I prepare for it to charge again, but it stalks me carefully. We both stay perfectly still waiting for the other to begin. The Beowolf's patience wanes thin; it stir and then charges. Getting closer the Beowolf pounces and I dodge to the right. Once again it hits the wall, but this time I stab it with the knife I grabbed.
The Beowolf cried out in pain and sidestepped knocking dishes and utensils onto the floor. Before I could do any more the Beowolf attacked. I dodged, but it kept up it's attack. Every time I evade an attack it would attack again.
I was soon backed into a corner and the Beowolf lunged one final time with it's jaws ready to bite off my head. I brought up my arm to block and the pain was immense. "Argghhh," I cried out and agony. If I gave up now I'd die. Brining my other arm up I jammed the knife into the Beowolf's right eye. It released its grip crying out. I pulled the knife out and jammed it into the other eye.
The Beowolf died and I sat down exhausted. Looking around I noticed how trashed the kitchen. Everything was a mess. Broken dishes, utensils, cups, and wooden fragments layed scattered across the floor. Before I could admire the destruction a box showed up.

After assigning all of the status points I rush of strength filled my body. It was invigorating. Wait, didn't it say I got new skills? Looking back at the box, "I did get new skills! Skills."
Skills: Passive and/or active abilities that can be trained and used.
Level 13/100 Acrobatics Passive: Flexibility is just as important as strength for a warrior. Being stiff as a rock is an effective way to die. Too bad for your enemies that can't happen now.
13% increase in evasive capabilities
13% increase in flexibility
Level 4/100 Physical Defense Passive: Over the course of a huntsman's or huntress's life they get hurt a lot. Maybe just a little too much. Over that time they grow a thick skin.
2% decrease in all attack damage
Level 5/1000 Aura Passive: For it is in passing we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all, infinite in distance and unbound by death. I release your soul and by my shoulder protect thee. Although the meaning of aura has been lost in time the power of aura still remains.
5% Increase in all stats excluding luck.
5% of all damage taken is taken by aura. It can be altered or toggled.
25% Increased damage in all attacks.
50% Increase in health and aura regeneration when meditating.
Level 6/1000 Silver Eyes Passive/Active: The eyes of the greatest warriors the world had ever seen. Though the stories have been lost to time, the Silver-Eyed warriors have fought against the Grimm for centuries. They were peerless when fighting Grimm, but now none remain except you. Make your ancestors proud.
6% Damage increase against Grimm.
6% weakness effect against Grimm when looking at them. Higher-level Grimm may resist the effect.
When the Silver Eyes are activated completely obliterate all Grimm lower level than you. Some Grimm and Grimm higher level than you will resist, but still, take damage. 9,940 aura to activate.
Level 1/100 Body of Crow Active: Quote the raven, nevermore. Abiding by those words the person who gave you this failed in keeping this practice forgotten. Whether an accident or not the curse in disguise should have stayed dead. With the blood of a crow, you are cursed with horrible luck and a burning desire for revenge.
When activated you turn into a black crow. 100 aura to activate and 1 aura per minute to keep activated.

With the body of the undefeated Silver Eye's level cap has risen to 1000
Level 1/1000 Scythe Mastery Passive: Anyone can handle a sword or gun, but it takes a truly talented person to handle a scythe and a genius to master one. It's a great coincidence that you are a genius.
5% Attack damage increase when using a scythe
5% Attack speed when using a scythe
Woah, my skills increased by so much! If there this good now, how good could they be when at max level? That's going to be awesome when it happens! After admiring my status for a bit I started to wonder something. How is Yang not awake? She must have heard all of the noise.
Moving to Yang's room I began stepping over all of the destruction. Opening the door I noticed Yang peacefully snoring in her bed. Walking up to Yang I start pushing her and say, "Yang... Yang… Yang... wake up!"
"Ehmmmmmmm… but I don't want to wake up," Yang groggily replied.
I sighed and yelled out, "there was a Grimm attack."
"What!" She shot up in her bed, "where?l
"Here," I say hoping she doesn't freak out.
"Here! Are you okay? Where is it? What happened to your arm?" Yang started rattling off questions while inspecting my bleeding arm.
"It was a Beowolf and I killed," I said proudly motioning for Yang to follow me.
She had a look of skepticism on her face, but as soon as she saw the mess of a kitchen and my broken door, "No way, how did you do it?"
I began to retell my story in full detail or at least all of it that I could tell. For some odd reason whenever I would start talking about the boxes and stats I'd get interrupted or something I didn't actually say came out. It made no sense to me so I just stopped trying and decided to ask the box later.
"So your room is trashed," Yang stated calmly.
"Yeah," I mumbled out and yawned.
"That's great!" Yang said enthusiastically. She grabbed my hands and started dragging me to her room.
"It is?" I ask confused on why having my room destroyed by Grimm is a good thing.
"Oh yeah, it means you can sleep with me tonight," Yang smiled innocently.
I laughed and replied, "That is great!"
"Plus Dad is going to be home tomorrow and he'll be able to fix your room, probably?" Yang said while jumping into her bed.
I followed shortly afterward and said, "Good night Yang."
"Good night Ruby," Yang replied before falling asleep instantly.
Author's Note
You are probably wondering why Ruby gained so much from fighting a single Grimm her level. Probably not, but I'm going to explain anyways. Ignoring Ruby's overpowered Silver-eyed Warrior trait, Ruby gained a lot of skill levels, because she was in a lot of danger. In a fight you don't learn much for a skill if the fight is baby easy.
In Grimm Satisfaction Ruby will gain more skill experience the more dangerous the situation and she'll get less skill experience the easier the fight. Level experience is unaffected by the danger in a fight.
