(Mid Chapter Authors Notes)
'Is this... for real?'
I am currently sitting cross-legged on the floor of my room, as when I had tried to stand up moments ago, I was jump-scared ruthlessly.
I tilt my head slightly as I gaze at a blue floating screen in front of me, the first word at the top of the screen glowing like gold with small sparkles radiating from it.
CONGRATULATIONS!
You have been selected via our monthly lottery system to be placed into another world!
"…"
"What?"
Every month, we pick ten lucky humans to be sent to another world! Some with fun abilities and overpower items, while some are just granted a new body to start fresh! And you, sir- your name is unimportant because it is going to be changed shortly- have won the JACKPOT!
"What?"
Every human who is unsatisfied with their life is entered into a world-wide lottery to see if they can change their fate, and you, soul number 2938588 (Of unsatisfied souls) have won the GRAND PRIZE of this month's lottery!
I stare at the screen with narrowed eyes and get up, ignoring the screen as I walk to the kitchen of my shitty apartment and get a glass of tap water.
Hello? Are you... ignoring this?
I rub my eyes slightly, 'ugh... is there a gas leak or something?'
You don't think this is real? Understandable! So, we have taken the time to grant you some proof of our legitimacy.
I raise an eyebrow at this.
Look in your glass of water!
I look down to see a crystal eight-sided dice made of some black onyx with gold numbering.
"What the fuck?"
So, you believe us now?
"…"
"Sure." I sigh as I reach into the glass and pull out the dice, then I take a simple drink of water.
If you do not wish to be transported to another world, you will simply forget about all of this... you have a day to decide
"No," I let out a small sigh and set down my glass on the table as I take a seat in one of the chairs, waving my hand towards the screen in a shoo-shoo manner. "Do the thing then, I am tired of this world."
Grand! Please present your dice!
I look down at the table where I had placed the dice and slowly pick it up, the screen morphing to show a small black diamond slot that I wordlessly insert the d8 into.
I blink once as nothing seems to happen, but when I re-open my eyes, I am in a dark void, surrounded by small galaxies that are slowly spinning around me.
A female voice makes itself known.
"As the grand prize winner, you get to pick, the world you are being sent to, an item, and a skill/ability to help you on your way!"
"Now, what item to you wish to have?"
"…" I briefly flinch at the sudden noise, but accept it as that wouldn't be the strangest thing that has happened to me today.
"Wouldn't it be better to decide the world first? That way I can have an item and skill that fits nicely with the world so I am not too much of an oddball?"
"Hm, sure, sounds nice! So, where do you wish to go?"
'Hm, let's compile a short list of tv shows, games, movies, and anime that I have seen or played...'
'Tv shows and movies elude me... so let's do games! Touhou? Mn... I know literally nothing about that world, I haven't even really played it so all I know is that Yukari can kill you with bullshit... so maybe not there... Borderlands? Hm... probably not... I never played one and while I know a little bit about the plot of two, I am no-where close to memorizing it.'
'Skyrim? Tempting... it is definitely tempting.'
'Spyro, Crash, and Ratchet and Clank are out, I'm not a furry. and I had the Hyperdimension Neptunia games on my steam account because of a sale and me swearing I was going to eventually play them, but I barely played even the first one... so that's out... shame, I never did get to play them, did I?'
I tap my chin.
'might as well move onto animes... My Hero Academia? No. Quirk law, All For One, and Bad Touch Man is a mega turn off. Dragon Ball? Pfft- it sounds cool, but when planet busting becomes a meager feat and power suction goat appears- which is a dumb fucking villain by the way-... I'm fucking out!... Roshi blew up the moon in dragon ball when his power level was like two-hundred! POWER SCALING IS TOTAL BULLSHIT!'
'Toriko? I only saw up to like the end of the English dub... but the food though! But, well the bird-anteater-robot-plague-mask-monsters scared me as a child'
'…'
'putting it under a 'maybe'.'
'One piece? I am up to date with the manga and remember most of the storyline... and I mean... the anime is like nearing like nine-hundred episodes! So I would have a lot of time to muck around... maybe meet with the main cast... there are also tons of cool techniques and treasures to collect, such as the grade swords, dials, the six powers and haki... I wonder what an armament haki infused iron body would look like- so this one has been the most plausible so far.'
'Jojo's? Mn... stando-powah is tempting... but four seasons take place over like one hundred and fifty years so that's a big 'no' unless I want to waste my ability or item on immortality... Fairytail? The time skip would give me a lot of time to myself... and I do sort of want to figure out why the hell Draco, Hydrus, and the Pheonix aren't important celestial spirit keys... but no, Immortal foes who can kill people by loving too hard and the damn EVERYTHING DRAGON SLAYER of Acnologia is a big no for me.'
'That time I got reincarnated as a slime? Fitting, but no...'
'Konosuba?'
'…'
'PFFAHAHAHAHHA!'
'One Punch Man? A cool world in theory, but probably poor in execution... a place where monsters literally show up everywhere is sort of bad... though having to work my way up through the ranks to S rank would be pretty cool... but Saitama... a gimmick character...'
'if I want waifus, I could always go to Dxd~! mn... fighting gods is a little eck though.'
'Pokemon or digimon? They could be swapped fairly easily, and seem cool, but no, I think I will pass on this one, there isn't really any way to empower humans in those worlds and I really don't want to rely on my partner.'
'Rwby?'
'hn... not a bad descision, it has waifus, gun swords, sword swords and gun guns... I'd like to get aura and a semblance, but there is the problem of an immortal witch bitch and an immortal coffee addict who fucked said witch... meh, I could always try to put the immortal one on the broken moon and just tell the reincarnating one to leave me the fuck alone.'
'hn... yeah... sounds pretty good!"
"I have made my decision!" I exclaim into the milky darkness of space.
The screen appears once more.
"GRAND! What location did you choose?"
"Remnant."
"From the ashes or Rwby?"
"Rwby, obviously?" I slowly murmur.
"Oh, cool, for a second there I was a little scared for your sanity."
"Also. Sweet! We have been meaning to send someone there! Now, what sort of power or skill do you wish to have?"
"The ability to stop ti-"
"No. Too stronk pick something else."
"Fiiiine" I sigh dramatically. "You know the six powers from One Piece?"
"Yeaaaah?"
"I want to be able to do that, but also have a seventh power where I basically just pull off Toriko's spike punch where I use shave with my arms to strike something several times in the same place..."
"Sounds reasonable, sure!"
'wait... seriously? Wow... okay...'
"Now for your item?"
"This can be any physical object, correct?" I slowly ask.
"Within reason... so no dragonballs, genie lamps, or wishing for one of the rwby relics to be within your grasp."
"Fair enough I suppose..." I hum as I tilt my head.
I am silent for a little while.
"Can you make my body much stronger than normal so I can actually pull off these martial arts moves?"
"Snrk- you know us well; we totally were going to put you down there with just the knowledge of how to do it and not the physical capabilities~"
"but, to answer your question, sure, why not?"
"…"
"Now!" The voice cheerful says. "Grit your teeth."
"Hm?"
I clutch my head and scream in agony as I feel like somebody took a power drill to my brain.
"WHAT THE FUUUU-"
"Done!"
"Why?!"
"That's what happens when you want the knowledge on how to use six- now seven- supernatural martial arts with little to no training or muscle mass."
"Anywaaays, you got your ability, your new strong bod, and my higherups have decided a drop location, I can place you into the wor- wait... what do you mean I have to go with this prick? "
"…" I glance to the left and right awkwardly as the voice in my head seems to be talking to someone else.
"I need to set up the automated system and give him a tutorial on how to use it? Whaaat? Why do *I* need to do that..."
"Do it or I'm fired? what about the other nine winners?"
"…"
"An Intern will do it? That is fucking retarded!"
"…"
"Right, sorry sir, no more back-sass."
"…"
"*Sigh* looks like I will be sticking around for slightly longer then~ damn interns... couldn't even install the automated system."
"Grand. This prick desires your company for a couple more minutes." I frown.
"Hey, I just Isekai'd you... I can you whatever the hell I please!"
With a flash I find myself... in a forest... with massive trees each probably larger around than my torso.
A screen appears in front of me with the text 'Please Select Your New Name.'
'a name? Namey name... names...'
After about maybe a minute of pondering I finally settle on a name.
WELL, I am finished setting up the automated system and you have even picked a name! Grand! Now we move onto something else!
Level 1, Alex Grey
Skill Points: 0.000
Shop Points: 0.000
'I have the gamer system?'
"Incorrect! You have our own system... but yes, we did take a couple of these assets from elsewhere, let's take a quick look at your 'skill list' for a moment."
Skill List:
Seven Powers Mastery: Lv 1
'o...kay? So I can increase the level of my skills by training?'
"No- Well, I mean, technically you can, but I don't see why you would, you can't generate skills by doing certain things, you can only purchase them, and while you COUUULD technically get better at a thing through use, an example being if you if you had some sort of flight ability you would probably fly into walls or ceilings till you got the hang of it, the skill level will not increase, meaning you won't get that significant of a boost. Say or think 'I want to upgrade 'Seven Powers Masery'!'"
'I want to upgrade My Seven Powers Mastery?'
Insufficient Skill Points! Skill points required: 250.000
"…"
'wait... I just noticed something... are you... reading my mind?'
"Yep."
'oh my god.'
"Dooont worry about it! I'll be out of here in, what, five minutes?"
I shake my head and let out a small breath through my nose.
'I assume that shop points allow me to buy or upgrade items? And I get these through leveling up?'
"Your first assumption is correct! But you only gain points through doing quests which the system will give you! As stated earlier, you can level up your skills, but what does that do? Well, why don't we take a look at the descriptions of your skill."
Seven Powers Mastery: Lv 1:
You have the knowledge to perform the Rokushiki, also known as the 'Six Powers', additionally you have created your own technique!
Techniques Known:
Shave (Soru): A technique that allows you to move at great speeds by kicking off the ground several times in less than a second.
Iron Body: (Tekkai): A technique that allows you to harden your body to that of steel, allowing you to shrug off attacks, additionally, some masters of Rokushiki can use it for offense as well as defense.
Moon Walk: (Geppo): A technique that allows the user to jump on air itself, people training in Rokushiki have been known to first start trying to jump on water before moving onto air, as is a lot thicker than air.
Shigan: (Finger Pistol): One of the two attacks of the six powers, it allows you to pierce your enemy with your finger as if you had shot them with a pistol, adept users can also make ranged attacks with it like master swordsmen can create wind-blades.
Kami-e: (Paper Arts): allows you to make your body as light as flexible as a sheet of paper, allowing you to bend unnaturally and flutter out of the way of attacks.
Rankyaku: (Tempest Kick) a technique that allows you to create blades of wind with your kicks that can cut through stone easily, and for some, even steel.
X Fold Punch: The creation of Alex Grey that takes the idea of Shave and applies it to a punch, a technique that allows you to strike your foe multiple times in an instant, creating a much more dangerous attack that hits an opponent as if you were driving in a metal stake. However, striking the same spot in quick succession is very strenuous, meaning you may only be able to do a 2 or 3-fold punch at your current level and a fucking ridiculous cramp afterwards.
'neat.'
"Now, take a moment, look around, realize we placed you in a new body, freak out, realize you are in Patch, freak out some more, then go fight something."
"WHAT THE FU-"
'I'm a fucking child! Why did they put me in the body of a child?!'
"One sentence. Ease for the User."
"You think your OTHER body could hold up to this world? Humans in that world break their arms from falling wrong... do you think one of them could EVER keep up in a world where getting stabbed repeatedly and fighting with people who wield GUNCHUCKS is commonplace?! Also they are fairly ugly compared to this world's definition of 'humans', so you wont be able to woo all those sweet babes n stuff~"
"I thought I took care of that when I wished for a stronger bo- *Sigh* this is because of my wish... isn't it..."
"I just wanted to make punch things... is that too much to ask?"
"That's pretty sad. You literally have infinite power here as long as you gain enough skill and shop points..."
"You said Patch, correct?" I slowly ask with a deadpan. "You absolutely put me in the time period when Yang takes Ruby out as a child, didn't you?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about"
"Well, I'm off, I have other things to do, your automated system- now that it is installed- has mental controls, or verbal if you want, but it's on you if everyone thinks you are fucking bonkers and talking to yourself."
"*Sigh*… those damn interns installed the wrong anti-virus system... that's why it took so long... I mean really? Who uses fucking MCAFEE?! Annnyway, I fixed the issue, downloaded the appropriate anti-virus software and fixed it."
"Your job sounds pretty dull and annoying..."
"You have no clue. You are actually one of the more bearable people we have isekai'd, at least you aren't a creepy bastard who chose 'mind domination of the opposite sex' as their first power... you just seem sort of selfish and power hungry, but good-hearted down deep inside. So, I wish you luck~"
The screen fizzles out of existence slowly leaving me with my simple status page open... I don't appear to have any 'stats' per say, just a level, 'Skill-points', 'Store-point' and a skill list, but I don't even have an inventory, so If I want to buy anything, I would just have to carry it around with me until I purchased a bag of holding or something.
I look down at my body revealing... that I am maybe seven or eight at most, and I have been given a simple black t-shirt and some simple cargo pants, around my shoulders they have given me a tattered grey hooded cloak that trails down to about my shins, on my waist, is a small bag containing several lien cards in a stack, each with the number '1' on them, so about twenty five lien in all.
I look up and let out a long sigh. "Welp! Let's walk!"
'ugh! I wish I had at least a few shop points... then maybe I could purchase a knife or something...'
Would you like to select a daily quest?
'Daily Quests?'
Correct, you have 4 daily quests currently available, more may be unlocked temporarily or permanently depending on current events, but you may only take one. Each has a different reward based on the difficulty of the task.
'uhh, yeah, a daily quest sounds pretty good.'
A new screen pops up in front of me with a small list.
Defeat Thugs: [0.3 Star Difficulty].
You must defeat 4 people of negative alignment before the day is up.
Walk 1 Mile: [0.1 Star Difficulty].
Walk 1 Mile before the day is up.
Greetings~: [0.4 Star Difficulty].
Greet 6 people of mild importance before the day is up.
Grimm Extermination: [1 Star Difficulty].
Slay 5 Grimm before the day is up.
'why is the grimm extermination quest so low- actually now that I think about it... it is more than three times the difficulty rating of the 'defeat thugs' quest...'
For stronger grimm, you will most likely gain a separate quest for the actual grimm extermination, the 1-star difficulty quest is just a one-a-day bonus for slaying five grimm.
'I... don't think I'll be able to beat grimm currently with my whimpy body sooooo.'
A Quest Has Been Received:
Walk 1-
'yes, yes, I get it, minimize.'
A Quest Has Been Completed:
Walk 1 Mile: [0.1 Star Difficulty].
Walk 1 Mile before the day is up.
Reward: 0.100 Skill Points, 0.100 Shop Points
'that's... not much...'
'hey system, how much is a regular kichen knife?'
Kitchen Knife Set: 0.100 Shop Points
'no, I mean, like a singular knife.'
Kitchen Knife: 0.10 Shop Points.
Would you like to purchase this object?
[Yes] [No]
I shake my head, 'it probably isn't worth it to buy one at the moment considering I would probably deal a lot more damage with just my hands, but, I suppose it helps to know I have the option.'
I continue my bored walk for about ten more minutes, then I reach an abandoned house with broken windows, the front door is broken down and laying a couple feet away from where it should have been, I look the other way to see a red wagon being pulled by a child with yellow pigtails, in the back, a little bundle of red and black.
"Oh, son of a-"
A Quest Has Been Received:
Big Bad Wolf: [3 Star Dificulty]
What's this? A couple of girls are about to be killed by a couple of shadow werewolves AND THEIR UNCLE IS GOING TO BE LATE?! (Sorry not sorry) Well, I guess it is up to the resident feral forest child to put those puppers in their place!
Objectives:
Survive for one full minute (Not Started Yet)/60
I sharply inhale as Yang leans forwards, seemingly observing the inside of the house, only to flinch back and let out a squeal as a form slowly prowls its way out of the house.
I has pitch black fur and a while boney mask, it shifts from four legs to two as it steps fully out of the house, putting a hand on the doorframe as it stalks out, its deep, blood red eyes lock onto Yang and her sister, then it begins to leap forwards.
I dash forwards, the world becoming a blur and I blast across the clearing, sliding to a halt about half of the way between the sisters and the Grimm. "Sup."
It briefly pauses as if to confirm my existence, then it runs forwards, followed shortly by two more that leap out from one of the windows of the dilapidated building.
I, with what would normally be unnatural balance and flexibility for me, lift my leg up so I am nearly pulling off a split, then I swing my leg downwards and a visible rift forms that rockets towards the charging grimm.
*Schlick*
It cuts the first in half, right down the middle, the second losing its front arm as it barely dives out of the way, and the final one easily avoiding it as it hops to the side.
A fourth and final beowolf crawls out of the house, this one about twice the size of the other two and covered in actual armor, bone spikes on its knees and elbows, boney ribs jutting outside of its body, a bone mask that extends down its neck slightly and large bone plates over its chest and shoulders.
'fuck. An alpha'
I do a quick roundhouse kick with my other leg, sending a wide horizontal blade of wind at the three bipedal grimm, it catches the first two, bisecting them at the stomach, but the alpha leaps over it with a growl and lunges forwards as it lands, keeping low to the ground and leaping back and fourth as it makes its way towards me.
I launch another blade of wind, but it lunges to the side and reaches me, raising its arms up above its head in order to slam them down on me.
'SHIT!'
It slams its paws down, but my body turns sideways and loosely slips through the gap in between the two clawed hands, my body suddenly becomes ridged again and I strike upwards with a finger extended, only for it to lean back, and hop away, when it lands again, it leaps forwards once again and this time goes for a sweeping attack, and I respond by leaping up and over the attack, over the grimm, and land behind it where I strike its exposed spine with a blade of wind, however it is weaker than normal because I don't have a lot of time or space to build up momentum so it barely leaves a scratch in its thick hide.
I let out a quiet pant as strike forwards with another finger pistol, but it leaps to the side and turns around to face me again.
'alright, then... its smart, quick, and powerful, I wont be able to land any decisive blows before I get tired... it has infinite stamina... I can't keep dodging it forever... and even with my strengthened body, my moves are starting to take their toll...'
'fuck it. All or nothing gambit. Qrow will show up in time to save me if this fails anyway and well, I assume that the quest has hidden bonus objectives~'
I take a step forwards, raising one arm up as the other is pulled back, the muscles in that arm spasming slightly as the veins bulge and pulse.
It swings its clawed hand at my shoulder on the side of my raised arm. 'heh. Perfect.'
My body freezes as I swing my arm outwards, its clawed hand smashing into my shoulder and cutting a couple small wounds, after the force is mostly dissipated, I unfreeze, wincing as the claws dig deeper into my flesh and grab its forearm.
I take a step forwards and turn my body, my other hand swinging forwards towards the grimm's abdomen.
"THREE-FOLD PUNCH BITCH!" I roar.
*T-TH-THUD*
It flies backwards about five feet from the force of my strike, tumbling backwards where it is about to land on its back, only for a second wave of force to hit and launch it further and create a large dip in its stomach, this time the grimm makes it another ten feet before it is struck again, *Splrt-* its stomach folds inwards as it rockets into a tree and snaps it in half as it flies through and smashes into another tree, causing both to fold in on themselves and bury the grimm under a couple log.
I flinch as a wave of pain hits me, both from a couple bleeding wounds on the shoulder of my right side, and a twitching entire left arm, I quickly bring up my slightly less wounded arm up to cradle the twitching one. "Owowowow fuck. This sucks."
"Fuuuuck why did I do that?" I whisper to myself as blood drips down my elbow, I suck in a deep breath of air through my teeth. "I could have just cut it in half with a tempest kick, or poked a hole in its throat with finger pistol, but noooo I had to do the cripple move... I'm a colossal dumbass."
A figure landing in front of me snaps me out of my pain-filled daze, and I look up, blinking away a bit of water in my eyes to see Qrow Branwen himself looking down at me looking slightly worried. "Oh fuck, kid are you alright?"
"Peachy~" I sarcastically hum through grit teeth. "It's not like I punched a grimm so hard it EXPLODED."

Would you like to roll your random skill and random item?
'no, save it.'
I let out a slow breath as green sparks cascade around my body, then stop a couple second later.
"You have... aura?!" Qrow slowly whispers.
"What do youuuu think?" I growl as blood continues to drip down my arm and onto the floor.
Qrow basically took me back to the Xaio-long household where I was thanked, yes, but also granted a room to stay...
My wounds were healed by my- admittedly meager- aura, and now that I actually have Aura, I am rearing to go!
The thing is, I heard Qrow talking to Ozpin about me in the other room last night and he is probably going to make his way over here sometime tomorrow... I really don't want to deal with him watching me juuust yet, so that leads me to my current decision...
I crack open the window and look outside, I am on the second floor of this fairly large log cabin, so there's about a ten foot drop from here to the floor.
Easy enough.
I activate my aura and leap out of the window.
*Pomfh*
Then with a simple kick I am launch away from the house and the flowerbed I was destined to land on, and soar across the yard.
I couldn't actually do that before I got my aura unlocked, believe me, I tried to when I was walking earlier today, it would have made me finding the house SOOOO much easier, buuuut all I was doing was just jumping about ten feet off the ground, not the double-jump I needed... but aura increases my abilities juuust enough for me to pull off a couple before my legs cramp up a bit.
Aura: Lv 1:
The power of the soul. It allows you to create a barrier around yourself and increase your physical abilities, it also grants every single person who has it a special one of a kind- (Barring certain Circumstances)- power that can range from increasing gravity to flying. Sadly, you don't really know what your semblance is, and your control is absolutely horrible, so bad to the point that you actually have to focus on keeping it active amidst combat! Some users of aura can even unlock it in others! Buuut with your current control, you aren't one of them.
I land with a sigh, glancing over my shoulder to the log cabin about thirty feet back, then I shake my head and continue walking forwards, down the path in the opposite direction we took to get here.
'step one: get off Patch.'
'System, you can roll my random skills now.'
Rolling.
You have Gained the skill 'Martial Arts Mastery'
You have gained the skill 'Double Jump'
'Double Jump' has been combined with 'Seven Powers Mastery', making it easier for you to use Moon Walk, but not changing the skill enough to justify a level up.
Martial Arts Mastery: Lv 1:
You are a prodigy for any sort of unarmed combat, you learn fighting styles quickly and can perfect them much easier than normal. You gain a permanent 10% cost reduction on buying or upgrading any martial-arts-based skills, additionally, skills of this type, are 5% more effective than usual.
I nearly trip.
'W-WHAT?! H-how did I get two skills that effect my six powers ability?!'
Random skills and items aren't truly random, they are divided into five categories, Basically Useless, Average, Good, Great, and Legendary. The user just got REALLY lucky.
'…'
'alright. How much does it cost to upgrade Martial Arts Mastery?'
Skill points required: 500.000
I let out a long sigh. 'am I really going to have to play the careful game of balancing between saving, and buying just enough skills to make sure I don't die?'
The min-maxer inside of me says to play dangerously and max the fuck out of that, and honestly, I am agreeing, even at level 1, it takes off TWENTY-FIVE points from Seven Powers Mastery... that's two hundred and fifty mile walks...'
'what about my aura?'
Skill points required: 50.000
Would you like to Upgrade this skill?
[Yes] [No]
'oh? So, I can level it up right now? Hn... nah, I'll pass...'
I mentally accept the 'No' option.
I crack my knuckles. 'alright... let's see if I can get to the main city before the sun raises.'
Then I dash forwards, down the path, my feet and body just a blur.
'ME FUCKIN LEGS!'
I managed it in about two minutes, buuuut kicking the ground several times per second for one hundred and twenty seconds?
Ouch.
Aaanyways, I made it to the small walled city of patch, then with a few kicks I make my way over the wall entirely and drop into the city below.
I sit up from my messy bed of shirts and blankets. "Mrhn?"
"…"
"Mnnn." I groan as I lay back down.
"…"
I let out a really long sigh after about five or so minute then sit up again, then slowly crawl my way to my feet.
"Well, that was certainly something..." I murmur. "I normally don't get dreams like that."
I stretch slightly, twisting my body and popping my joints as I get ready for my day filled with 'fun.'
You see, it has been about five and a half years since I came to this world... making me... twelve or thirteen, I think? Annnyways. Not much has happened. I got to Vale, I would like to say that I crippled the criminal underworld, but, I'm not that foolish, I, at most, am just a small problem.
Beating up four thugs per day has DEFINITELY worked out! I managed to increase my 'Martial Arts Mastery' and 'Aura' skills to a reasonable level... they have actually been the only things I have been spending skill points on...
Martial Arts Mastery: Lv 3:
You are a prodigy for any sort of unarmed combat, you learn fighting styles quickly and can perfect them much easier than normal. You gain a permanent 30% cost reduction on buying or upgrading any martial-arts-based skills, additionally, skills of this type, are 15% more effective than usual. Your Martial-Arts Based Skills also start at 1 level higher than usual.
Aura: Lv 4:
The power of the soul. It allows you to create a barrier around yourself and increase your physical abilities by a large margin, it also grants every single person who has it a special one of a kind- (Barring certain Circumstances) power that can range from increasing gravity to flying.
Your control over aura is great, and allows you to even activate someone's aura!
Your Semblance is "Friction Control" allows you to control the amount of friction you, or an item you are touching, has against all things.
Of course, that effect from Martial Arts Mastery retroactively went into my Seven Powers ability, but not much has changed... I mean, sure, now I can hit things with a twofold punch without cramping up, but any higher than that starts to hurt.
Ah yes... my semblance, Friction Control... about as op as it sounds, I can make it so everything I touch loses or gains friction... it lasts until I will it to stop- at least when I am touching the object, otherwise, it goes away after like twenty seconds...
It's a shame that every time I level something up it DOUBLES the cost... so to level up Martial Arts Mastery I need two THOUSAND skillpoints... Aura is a bit more manageable at four hundred... I might try to get that and see what I get at level five.
'Welp... time to start I guess... I accept the thug daily quest.'
Defeat Thugs: [0.3 Star Difficulty].
You must defeat 4 people of negative alignment before the day is up.
Objective:
Defeat 'Evil' People: 0/4
I hop out of the broken window and land on the street below, bleeding off some of my momentum with a couple moon walks
'aaahhh... good ol slums... how I adore you.'
I crash through the glass window of the warehouse with a savage grin, then land on the floor behind a group of eight who are quickly turning to face me, looks of confusion across their faces.
I glance to the little titles above their heads as they each try to draw a weapon, aura of random colors suddenly crackling to life as they get on guard.
Thug Level 8
The thing about 'Levels' in this system, is that they don't really matter... it is basically just a calculation of 'How big of a threat they are', so someone with zero combat experience would be at a one, Qrow was just three question marks, which was spoopy, but anyways, back to my point, the max I have ever seen for someone without aura has been five... and that was a fuckin BUFF body builder guy.
Level 31, Alex Grey
Most of these guys range from eight to twel-
Roman Torchwick, 'Huntsman Dropout' Level 80
Oh. That's new.
I blur through the seven mooks, easily disabling them in under twenty seconds, even with aura, they weren't much of a challenge for me, now they have large holes in their limbs and are groaning on the floor.
"…"
"Hey!" I exclaim. "I'm BOOORED and you look strong, fight me!"
He looks a bit younger than he did in canon, and well, that's understandable, there still is a good seven years until then... buuut that's not all that's different... he has no hat or guyliner! I don't even think I can call him Roman at this point... he is also looking at me with a gaze that is mixed between confusion and annoyance.
"What?"
"I'm bored. I have nothing to do, so I punch people. That's my thing." I scoff.
"…"
"Wha-"
I he stops talking suddenly as I suddenly appear before him, it looks like he had actually manage to somewhat track my movements, as his cane is rocketing towards the side of a fist that is going right for his stomach.
His cane smacks the side of my hand, only for him to widen his eyes as it seems to stop completely.
I smirk as I bring my other hand forwards, my hand twitching slightly from the strain.
"Three-fold punch!"
*T-T-Thump*
He begins to fly backwards, a small hole in his shirt which allowed me to punch both his clothing and bare stomach, his body violently stops in the air, he seems to grit his teeth and wince as his coat begins to smoke slightly.
He is hit by a second wave of force, his white coat bursting into flames as he stays stagnate in the air, barely moving even an inch backwards.
He suddenly falls backwards and is slammed into the ground by another wave of force.
'oh wow... his aura absorbed most of that...'
I leap into the air and lash out with a couple tempest kicks which pepper the area where he landed, kicking up concrete chunks and dust, just in general making it hard to see.
I narrow my eyes slightly, then cup my hands and slam them together, creating a clap of wind that blows away most of the smoke revealing Roman standing there with his cane pointed up at me, the tip flipping outwards with a *Thoomp*
A ball of fire is launched at me, but I simply extinguish it with another blade of wind, and by extinguish, I mean blow up... it would probably suck to be hit by that...
My fist hardens as I flip my body and kick off the air above me, launching myself at high speeds towards Roman.
He changes his aim and shoots again, causing me to stop my attack in order to unnaturally twist my body around it as it flies past.
I launch another tempest kick at him, causing him to jump to avoid it.
I leap off the air again, causing roman to widen his eyes as another fist rockets towards his stomach.
He uses his cane to hook my wrist and twists his body in the air, flinging me downwards where I crash into the stone floor, cracking it.
[This is when I stopped writing]
This was the Remnant version, and the idea of the plot was to have good ol Alex actually work for Torchwick after 'impressing him' and because 'well, I have already collected one child, why not two?' Like some sort of fabulous murder hobo pokemon trainer. In general Neo and Torchwick would gain a bastardized version of the six powers, and Alex would eventually (Like around Canon) have a fairly flirty and sassy relationship with Neo, never really going 'that' far, but looking across the room and with a smug grin and saying something like 'damn. Your hot as hell' and Neo's response to be an equally smug grin with half lidded eyes as she repeatedly shoves a finger into a hole she made with her index and thumb.
Anyways, this has been Flame here with your two chapters of fucking chaos, now get out of my garbage you damn kids!
