'where the hell am I?!'
I crack open my eyes to reveal a grey wooden ceiling inches from my nose.
'w-what the hell!?'
My eyes widen and my breathing quickens, I look to the left... wall... I snap my head to the right... more wall... I glance up and down to see that I am completely surrounded by the wooden walls on each side.
'ohgodohgodohgod D-DID I GET BURRIED ALIVE?!'
'nononononono'
I shift back and forth, letting out a gasp of relief as the coffin sways slightly.
I swing my hands and legs forwards, causing the top of the coffin to splinter and crack as it is launched off me.
'… what?'
It flies easily ten feet up into the air before falling to my right and completely shattering.
I sit up and glance around my immediate surroundings.
'I'm... strong...'
I appear to be in some tomb, moss grows along the walls, grey roots pierce through the corner of the room, no visible light sources in sight...
'W-Where the hell am I? And how can I see this well?!'
I sit up and look down to my hands, they are much lighter than the surrounding grey-black wood and my ancient looking clothing.
'I- what?'
It took a little while to get my thoughts in order and I have deduced several things, one: I have been Isekai'd... that's cool... I wasn't doing much beforehand so this is much more interesting than anything I could do... two: Nightvision and three: I am currently located in some sort of ancient and decrepit tomb... and considering the coffin... perhaps I'm a vampire? I'll know for sure if I go outside and fucking detonate at the sight of the sun...
I get up slowly and look at my clothes, strangely preserved even though I was probably in here for thousands of years...
What I would describe as noblemen attire, all black and grey- possibly other colors, but with my black and white night vision I can't really determine that...
I slowly walk to the only exit to the room.
I come to an absolutely massive door, about thirty feet tall.
I look down at my hands. 'I splintered and broke wood easily earlier... so could I-'
I walk up to it and place my hands on it.
*Chhhhhhhhng*
Putting all of my weight into it, it slowly opens outwards, causing me to grin massively. 'Isekai strength for the win!'
The door is opened just enough for me to squeeze out, so I do so with a grin.
'I'M OU-' I stop my train of thought as I stare blankly at a long halway that goes into the distance...
"…"
I let out a long sigh and just decide to carefully continue on slowly through the halls, my footsteps making light tapping sounds in the dead silence as I move on... I don't have any shoes, so I hope I don't come to some broken glass or something... that would really suck.
Thirty minutes... I had to walk through a maze of halls for like thirty minutes... can't really tell time down here...
DAYLIGHT! DAYLIGHT DEAD AHEAD!
Small wisps of light seep into the cave as I run forwards, only to pause abruptly before I reach the first splotch of light.
I look down and take a deep breath, then I thrust my hand into it.
Nothing happens...
I let out a long sigh of relief. 'Not a Vampire.'
Then frown. 'not... a vampire...'
'ah well, there goes my plans of flying, turning into bats, and having kickass regeneration.
I step into the light.
[Congratulations! You have completed the tutorial!]
"AAAAAAAAA-"
[Welcome to the god system, you Quasi deity, you!]
"…"
"I-I have the gamer system?!" I whisper under my breath.
[INCORRECT!] the screen pings loudly.
[You have the 'God's Ascension' System! Completely different! There are no simple stats! Only divine ranks!]
"…"
A new screen pops up.

"…"
"Hwaht?"
[You have been granted a choice to become all powerful! Congratulations, you! But, like all things, you start out weak, the very bottom, barely even a divine creature!]
'Rude.'
[But eventually, you will be able to create planets! Create Races! Travel dimensions! The worlds are your oyster and you will be the chaotic being who isekai's people!]
'Wait... what's the difference between me and a normal human? Are just regular humans divine rank 0?'
[Incorrect! Regular humans lack a divine rank AT ALL, not a 'zero' but literally nothing... Divine rank 0 grants creatures the 'spark' to progress into godhood, and while regular humans CAN in fact eventually get a divine rank 0, they typically have to either kill a god, or be granted divine ranks by Greater Deities!]
[As a Quasi-deity, you don't need to eat, breathe, drink, sleep, are immune to the effects of aging, plus are faster, stronger, and more durable than regular individuals of their race.]
[Plus! You may- as a Divine Rank 0- do 3 'Petty Divine Abilities' per Week!]
"What ar-"
[What are 'Divine Abilities', you ask? Well, simply put they are what you use to create planets, magic, races, entire dimensions, heal the sick and revive the dead! However, because you are so weak, you only gain access to 'Petty Divine abilities', and only three at that! Even demigods can use an unlimited amount of these! With this ability, you can do many things! Heal average non-life threatening wounds like a scraped knee or broken nose, make plant life grow slightly faster, turn weak undead! Really, it can be anything, and it is enhanced even more by coinciding with your chosen domain(s)! (you will gain more at higher divine ranks)]
"And dom-"
[Domains, are simply your area of expertise, they decide what sort of god you are going to be! You want to be unnatural, spooky, and feared across the world? Choose the death domain! You want to be a mysterious and mystical being who sews seeds of wonder wherever he goes? Magic domain! Now, please hurry up and select your domains!]
A MASSIVE list appears in front of me... there are EASILY over two hundred.
Acid, Air, Alcohol, Animal, it really goes on and on...
[Upon selecting a domain, you will be granted a perk (Or Perks) depending on the level of strength of the domain! So while something like 'Death' might make it so you can see the lifespan of a target, weaker ones like 'Water' might let you create and control steam AND grant a separate perk for ice.]
"Hrmmm..." I let out a long hum as I sit down.
I noticed that there were quite a few that are different than the others... of course there are some like 'Magic', 'Undeath', or 'Sand'… but there are also some things that shouldn't really be there...
Magic: (Fairy Tail)
Dust: (Rwby)
Ki: (Dragon Ball)
Then a couple others...
But there are some interesting ones beyond that!
They have Evolution (Probably from Pokémon or something like that), Grimm (also from Rwby), Luck... the seven deadly sins each have their own domain as well...
Anyways, I eventually figured out what kind of deity I wanted to be...
Item Creation:
You can create weapons, armor, and more with just a simple flex of your powers.
Aspect of Magic:
You sow seeds of magic wherever you go... you may use your divine abilities to duplicate magical effects and spells.
I swirl my finger in the air with a small smile, then appearing in front of me is a small orb with a reflective surface.
Staring back is a red eyed boy, with pale skin and white hair, roughly fifteen.
I hum and gently place the blue crystal ball down on the ground, then slowly get to my feet.
I tilt my head left and right, cracking my neck, finally taking in my surroundings of forest, cave, and bumfuck nowhere.
"Swell..." I sigh.
'alrighty... let's just initiate the plan!'
The plan is simple. One: Ancient Moss-Covered Statue...
Now, you might ask, 'why a moss covered statue?! What would that do?'
And frankly, it is just to attract worshipers... if anyone finds it, it will stick with them... they'll think 'oh wow... that's a pretty weird statue'... but the point is that it will be on their mind... nooow if I added perhaps something more mystical to the statue, say... a floating orb that radiates cold...
I pick up the orb I put down and smile as it begins floating above my hand... haphazardly and unstable.
I try to stabilize it, and I manage it, but...
Petty Divine Abilities 0/3
'Piss.'
I frown slightly as I let go of the orb, causing it to float there in the air calmly.
…
This orb has no special effects other than just floating...
'I fucking suck...'
I hold out a long single-edged blade, looking quite similar to a katana, except instead of where the guard would be, is the floating green orb I had created about a month ago, now with a slight swirling pattern carved across it, making it look quite similar to a devil fruit from the one piece universe... additionally it has been shrunken considerably and shaved down into an eye shape, allowing the hilt and blade to be connected through two pieces of metal that go around the floating orb.
I tap on the green crystal and flick my finger downwards, causing it to freely spin and rotate.
I smile slightly as push on the gem as hard as I can, causing it to briefly move about an inch away but stop dead in its tracks before it can be pushed away.
I hear a loud growl behind me, causing me to slowly blink.
I turn my head to see a beowolf steadily making its way across the clearing towards me, a dozen feet with each bound.
If you couldn't tell, I am in the Rwbyverse... I figured that out a while back and well, while dealing with immortals might be a little annoying, I could probably just eventually make some sort of inprisoning spell... no big deal.
I swing the blade, causing a thin white crescent about an inch thick and three feet long to appear along the trail of the blade... it hovers briefly before quickly launching itself at the beowolf with a small boom.
It collides with the grimm's chest, cutting cleanly through about half of it before losing its sharpness...
However, it really didn't lose its speed, meaning that an explosion of white continues the cut and bisects the Grimm entirely.
This... is my first creation... unnamed at the moment, but it took about fifteen petty divine abilities to make... and it can only JUST BARELY instantly kill beowolves... it creates blades of wind at the wielder's command- with a small thirty second cooldown of course as the blade and gem absorb air currents to recharge, meaning that when swung it actually recharges fasts... buuuut this should be more than enough to get me noticed and worshiped... by some people~ now all I need to do is find an isolated location- but not too isolated- and stick it into a large boulder that I will enchant to be extremely durable... then bam! Instant legend!
'I should probably enchant the blade itself to be extremely durable as well... plus glowing runes along the blade would add to the 'mystical' factor!'
I brush my hand along the side of the blade.
'Hmmm...'
I have been in this world for about a month and a half so far... sleeping most of the time away inside my cave.
I focus on the blade and watch as green glowing runes trace themselves down the sides.
'it's almost ready!'
I swing the blade again, launching a white blade of wind towards a small pine tree, about half a foot in width, the blade cutting it in half with a small explosion.
*Creeeeek-THUMP*
This doesn't use any sort of dust to power its effect... so it should interest quite a few people...
"Hm-hmhm~" I hum as I look towards the gnarled and twisted wooden staff in my hand.
"hmhmhm!" I continue as I tie white bandages around the spot I was holding it moments ago.
"Well~ now all I need to do is-"
I freeze, slowly looking out of the mouth of the cave, the world becoming brighter... louder... and it just feels... right...
'w-what the hell?!'
[You have gained a divine rank! Thus meaning you are now a demigod!]
I widen my eyes and grab a small crystal ball, then suddenly, the cave lights up and it appears I am somewhere else entirely...
I quickly look around, spying the large rock with a sword in it about ten feet away, its image being projected on the cave walls.
The sword and rock is covered in vines and moss, clumps of dirt cling to the blade's hilt as a warm breeze constantly passes throughout the clearing.
"Wooooah! Yang! Look at this!"
Standing at the side of the blade is one Ruby Rose... and one Yang Xaio Long... Ruby looks to be about thirteen and Yang herself about fifteen... placing me two entire years before Canon.
"What... the hell?" Yang whispers to herself as she looks over the glowing rock and sword.
"This is SO COOL!" Ruby exclaims. "IT'S LIKE A MAGIC SWORD!"
They both shuffle closer. "Are those runes... made of dust?" Yang murmurs.
Ruby reaches out to poke the sword, causing the runes to glow brighter as her hand approaches.
"I don't know but it is SO COOL! Yang! Let's go get uncle Qrow!" She taps the floating crystal where the guard should be, causing the gem to float back briefly then return to its original place.
"THAT CRYSTAL IS FLOOOATING! IT ACTUALLY IS A MAGIC SWORD!" Ruby screams.
"Oi oi what's with all the screaming?!" A new voice exclaims as they rocket into the clearing.
"UNCLE QROOOOOW MAGIC SWORD!"
"What?!"
I allow the energy to fade from the crystal ball, causing the hologram of the sword in the stone to disappear.
I briefly flex my divine power 'and now that sword will not function in anyone but Ruby's hand... draining the wielder's aura considerably if anyone but her tries to use it.'
'ah... so I am somewhere on Patch... neat... now, what does being a demigod give me?'

'Ohoho! So I get to pick a new domain EVERY divine rank?'
[Incorrect. You get to select one new domain every 20 ranks... additionally, you gain one every time progress into a new stage of godhood...]
'how many stages of godhood are there? And is there a cap for divine ranks?'
[There is no real cap for Divine ranks, but for simplicity sake, let's say 1000... there aren't many gods who have divine ranks over 1000... as for the states of godhood, you have Quasi-deity (0) Demi-God (1) Lesser Deity (50) Intermediate Deity (250) and Greater Deity (500)]
'o...kay?'
[For comparison sake, the two dragons who made this world have divine ranks at around 280...]
'that's... not really that much...'
[keep in mind that they are still DRAGONS so they can definitely punch above their own weight class by quite a bit.]
'alright.'
'I suppose now would be a good time to choose my next domain... hmmm...'
I gaze over the list again.
'Hrmmm... what could possibly do to gain more power...'
I glance behind me to the large door of the crypt I had awoken in.
"…"
'a dungeon with loot in it should work... just need to have a couple murals painted...'
I pause. 'but it would work better if I granted them all something they normally should not have...'
I let out a long hum as I tilt my head back.
'there's also the flaw that this is sort of my home right now...'
I look down at the staff I am currently making and smile, my new divine powers allowing me to easily create a floating yellow crystal orb in the crook of the staff, several zigzags and curls immediately carving themselves out in the orb making patterns of thunderclouds and lightning.
I drop the staff, causing the entire thing to float beside me.
I point forwards, causing it to fly forwards- only to quickly return as I flick my index and middle finger back towards me.
I hold out my hand and use my lesser divine ability.
The yellow crystal darkens, the inside shifting and twisting, rolling and cracking... it appears as if an entire thunderstorm was captured in the grapefruit-sized orb.
I allow the staff to float behind me as I walk out of the cave, trying to find a good target for my next attack.
I point my index finger towards a tree and watch as a bolt of lightning arcs from my fingers and crashes into it, causing a large chunk to splinter and tear.
I slowly nod, as that, something I could do INFINITE times could probably kill a beowolf effortlessly, then point the staff at another tree... I channel my petty divine ability through the staff and up to the orb-
*CRACK-BOOOM*
A bolt of lightning several times the size of the one I just used arcs out and absolutely obliterates the trunk of the tree, along with carving a foot and a half wide trench for about five feet, the upper branches of the tree fall and haphazardly crash into the ground.
'hohoho me likey...'
I allow the staff to float behind me again, then with a small hop, I sit on it and allow it to carry me back into the cave.
The orb I had enchanted with my lesser divine ability magnifies the effects of electrical based magics six to ten times... meaning that I could probably detonate a city block easily if I turned my lesser divine ability into a lightning bolt.
'what to pick for my next domain... I have to be careful with what I pick... I'm not going to be able to gain all of them...'
I pick fairy tail's magic system, purely for the items I could create, Lacrima, spirit keys, weapons that use magic circles and more!
Aspect of Magic (Fairytail)
You radiate a constant flow of ethernano, saturating the areas around you enough for people nearby to cast magic (Please note that you may turn this ability off)
I let out a small groan as I stretch. "Hnng-"
'I should probably pick lightning for my next domain... that'll make my zaps even stronger! Maybe I could obliterate a city block with a petty zap through my staff instead of a lesser one!'
'but now... It's time to craft a legend that will catch the interest of a certain white-haired immortal...'
I slowly nod as I walk down the long hallways to the 'main chamber' or, as it will soon be called, the 'boss room'.
Along one side several murals that depict a story... the first, a horde of red, black, and white creatures with horns and deformed animalistic bodies, throughout the lands, humanity was forced to live in secret to hide from these horrific beasts... demons... the next is of a glowing blue figure with a constant aura of power, dragon ball z style floating above the remaining humans... he spreads out his arms and grants six weapons to the humans... a staff with a yellow orb in its crook, a blade with a green gem in its guard, a battle-axe with a large dark blue gem in the head, the two halves of the blade floating on each side of it, the next is a spear with a light blue gem at the end of one side, a small spear tip floating just past that... the final two, is a bow-gauntlet with three small red orbs just in on the forearm in a line, and a shield with a large white gem in the center...
It pictures six heroes wielding these weapons of absolute power... each glowing the color of the corresponding gem, yellow for the staff of storms, green for the blade of the four winds, dark blue for the axe of the roaring waves, light blue for the spear of frigid ice, a deep red/crimson orange for the infernal bow, and white for the shield of light...
The next mural is of a great battle, giant beasts and elemental fury arc across the colored stone...
The heroes beat back the forces of evil, and through combining their weapons, they seal them in another dimension which is depicted as a red rip in reality with the demon's hands poking out... on the next mural, it is closed, and the heroes are victorious...
However not all stories have a happy ending... the next mural shows several black wolf like creatures, surrounding the hero wielding the blade of the wind... then... in the next... the sword stuck in its stone...
The next few murals show several different figures trying to pull the sword from the stone... all failing.
The five remaining wielders of the elemental weapons realize that without their sixth member, they develop a solution!
The next mural shows the staff of storms on a large crimson anvil, then a duplicate of the image, except the staff glows brightly.
In the next shows an image of the wielder of the staff of storms easily defeating waves upon waves of the black-masked creatures... all by himself...
The next shows the other four weapons raised above the anvil, a collage of red, blue, light blue, and white auras arcing across the objects.
I slowly nod as this seems like a fairly good spot for the story to end... it tells lore- which could have been from well before Ozpin was born in his first life- it gives rewards... the anvil- which is designed to buff Ruby's weapon to keep it on par with the other elemental weapons when I eventually make them... and hell, I might even make a 'darkness dagger' that may or may not find itself into Salem's hands...
I grin mischievously. 'this is going to get me so many fucking divine ranks...'
I enter the room I was originally entombed in... now expanded quite a bit slowly and carefully... a large anvil placed in the middle of the room.
As for the boss?
I look towards the heap of mechanical parts which is slowly taking form... I have really only finished some parts, but among the pile are two large bat-like wings, a long 'scaly' tail with a spiked tip, four powerful clawed limbs.
Yes, I'm making a mechanical dragon...
I walk over to a small desk in the corner and start writing some general filler notes...
'if you are reading this, these black creatures have long since slain me... for I do not know how long my-'
Bunker... bunker... what's another word for bunker? I don't want to say 'lab'… that sounds WAY too advanced...
Workshop!
'for I do not know how long my workshop will remain undiscovered, I have enchanted each page of my last will to translate my ramblings into literature you might understand... the battle was swift... however, that purple thing-I dare not call it a dragon... that is no dragon-destroyed the wielders with nary a scratch... perhaps if the wielder of the wind blade were here, it might have been slightly different... but as I write this, that creature's black beasts claw at my doors, they will not hold out for long... I pray to Arcanis that humanity will survive whatever trials are placed before us... if only I had more time! Things would have been different! I had originally planned to create a new weapon... you probably saw the pieces of it strewn about... a claw here, a wing there... anyways that's not important anymore. My name is Kruth Axurl, Artificer extraordinaire, however none of my creations are going to be able to save me...
In my long life, most of my time has been studying the miracles of the six weapons... that old legend proven correct... it has been hundreds of years since Arcanis has granted us these glorious gifts to repel the demons back to their realm and I believed I could have created a seventh! A weapon that was able to wield itself! That may have turned the war into our favor... however... I have no time... I perhaps only have mere minutes left...'
'Please. To those who find my last will... do not let those creatures win... if a new wielder of the blade has been chosen, enough time has probably passed for the other weapons to choose new wielders as well! The blade was always the pickiest with its wielders, but it was always the strongest- before the other's got the blessing Arcanis of course- the wielders of the Green Wind Blade must be pure of heart, and willing to lay down their lives for the sake of even a single person! They had silver eyes that shined in the deepest of night and were monster hunters worthy of respect! Please, find the blade of wind, bring it to my workshop and place it upon the crimson anvil, then its true potential shall be unlocked! HURRY_/~'
I allow the quill to swerve off the paper and flick a spray of created blood across the paper.
I knock over the inkwell, spilling ink over the surface of the table, then I bring my arm down as hard as I can on one corner of it, causing it to snap off.
I scatter some bones around the room and dump a load more created blood where the man 'died'.
I walk over to the anvil whose entire purpose is to empower Ruby's sword...
'Y'know, I'm thinking about granting all of the weapons a primary and secondary ability... my staff boosts the effects of lightning, plus allows me to surf on it at supersonic speeds... Ruby's blade can launch blades of wind and surround the wielder in a small whirlwind- upon being upgraded at this anvil of course- so what else should I give?'
'hmm...'
'I did say it was the strongest, so why not two new abilities? One can be flight... and the other can be increased speed and strength while the blade is being wielded... that seems reasonable... and just upgrade the wind blade ability to increase their size depending on the speed of the swing, maybe make the whirlwind into a full-blown sharp tornado?'
'perhaps with mastery...' I hum as I pat the anvil.
"Anyways... now... I need to assemble the dragon and the mobs that the boss 'created'… then I need to make a damaged construct and sent it out into patch with the order of 'attack people but never kill'… maybe add a little black to the normally teal gem to show that it is corrupted?"
'Perhaps also have it leave a path of destruction in its wake so the Branwen can follow it?'
I let out a long sigh. 'ugh... that's still like a month or three out before this is 'complete' hm?'
My shoulders slump. 'this would go so much quicker if I could cast one more lesser divine ability per month...'
I look down at a small magically-created booklet. "Allllright... Small golem mobs?"
I look to a small and stocky golem with a large gem in the center of its chest, a deep 'clearly corrupted' black.
Several more patrol along the hallways and the empty rooms... I mean, there is an armory- but all of the weapons are decomposed- a bunk- with a load of created skeletons- a library with hundreds of books which 'did not withstand the force of time' even though they were created from nothing last week... a jail with a still very much alive captured beowolf strapped to a table and cut open, a storage closet with more decay, a mess hall which looks like a very huge battle had taken place, and 'The Artificer's workshop' which has a corner of the massive door destroyed- ah right doing the checklist...
"Mobs. Check!"
"Loot?" I murmur as I look back to the anvil. "Check!"
"Rooms to make this place look like it was lived in hundreds of years ago?"
"Check..."
"Boss?"
A large mechanical tail swishes past the broken gap in the corner of the large closed door.
"Check."
"Plot hook?"
I look over to a damaged golem... unlike the other ones, its core is black but with a blue center, its helmet/head has a large crack in it that drips blue magic ooze and its left arm has rainbow colored sparks that shoot out of a large gash every now and then, scuffed knee-plates, shoulder plates, its right arm hangs limply, and its core also flickers a lot.
"Check!"
All in all, It's perfect!
I pat the wall with a gloved hand. "Goodbye tomb... you will be missed."
I point to the damaged golem. "You. Go outside and leave a path of destruction in your wake... attack any grimm or human, every grimm you come across may die, but you are not allowed to slay any humans... you will follow the path originally determined and head for the Rose-Xaio-Long estate..."
I pause for a moment and smile, thinking about all the power this is inevitably going to give me- 'Arcanis'- or well, the actual name I have chosen...
Name: Nicodemus
Race: Human?
Divine Ranks: 1
Divine Status: Demi God
"Begin your mission." I command.
The golem turns and rushes down the hallways and towards the outer cave at a surprising fifteen-ish miles per hour... every other one inside this place is about twice as good as that one... I programmed it to be jerky, slow, and pause after some attacks to really portray that 'fighting against corruption' feel... I also made it so it periodically says- upon seeing someone- 'Please Kill me./End my suffering.' Or 'Taint at *So and so (always over fifty)* Percent' In a heavily modulated voice... then as its fight goes on, it grows even more corrupted till eventually... it stops speaking entirely, grows faster and stronger as it stops hesitating, and has the internal gem turn pitch black.
So yes, I'm trying to scar Ruby for life, what of it?
I follow after the blue fluid on the floor and exit the cave.
'welp.'
With a flash my staff appears, so I decide to hop on it, standing on the horizontal shaft as it blasts off into the distance at near mach 1, magic causing the air to go around me so I have a completely wind-free trip.
'y'know... maybe I should make a Demon race based off books like Zeref did... eh... I'd need to build something new for that... maybe a floating island that slowly circles the planet? That'd be pretty cool...'
I watch as my 'faith' is steadily going upwards... apparently it seems like someone has found my little dungeon!
I look into the crystal ball. 'ah. It's Qrow.'
I watch as with a single slash he cleaves through the stone bodies of one of my many 'mobs'.
'Ah... so those wouldn't be a challenge for him... good... these things are only slightly better than ursa minors, I'd be disappointed if he, 'vale's best huntsmen' managed to get his ass beaten by them.'
'The dragon on the other hand... that MIIIIGHT be just a bit tougher for him to put down, but I believe in him!'
I'm also glad that I made that anvil increase the durability of any metal placed upon it... with a slight cooldown of course... the anvil loses color when it is low on power but eventually recharges after like a couple weeks or so, but like this, they will try to keep it... to research it... to control it...
And well, that means more point for me!

I freeze. 'wait, no... I'll wait till divine rank twenty when I pick up the Life domain... THEEEEN I'll create the books of Zeref! Let's see... I'll need a big stupid rampagy one, a waifu one... the smart condensed leader-type which could also technically be the waifu one... the weird sword-limbed one... maybe a couple that combine into a larger and more powerful beast...'
But for now, I'm going to create a dragon slayer lacrimia... maybe this time somewhere in ACTUAL Vale... but what kind...
Creating the light shield comes next, then all I need to do is buff the Inferno doom bow up to the standards of the other weapons...

I flick the dice off into the distance and wait.
It eventually floats back up to me, all sides of it now being replaced with a single number...
"8"
"You know what? No. That fucking sucks. I don't want to force anyone to just eat fucking sand for power... Do it again."
I flick the die away again.
"1"
"Boring."
Again.
"17"
"Ehhh... nah seems a bit too powerful for my first one..."
"7"
"mnnn maybe..."
"15"
"isn't this sort of just the same as Holy?"
"You know what? To make it simpler." I scoff as I create a D4. "Water, Ice, Mist, or Plant... in that order."
"3."
"Alright... looks like it's going to be mist... if I can even create these in the first place..."
Your divine rank has increased, refreshing your divine abilities.
"Sweet. That makes, what, seven total now?"
I let out a long hum as I complete the spear of ice n shit. 'well, now what?'
I could do many things, really... toss the spear of ice at pyrrha, let Jaune find the shield of light in a forest... give Nora a battle-axe because, really, she should have one... perhaps Ren the Infernal gauntlet-bow? You know what? Yeah! I'm going to kit out Jnpr with sweet ass weapons!'
'FUCK. I should have made an earth-element sledgehammer in the lore.'
Ah well... maybe another time~
"Yote." I hum as I fling an axe and a gauntlet haphazardly off my staff, causing them to plummet to the earth miles below.
"Heeeere we go~" a spear rockets through the sky as it makes its way towards the ground... in the middle of a park... but it was perfectly calculated, smashing into the ground about ten feet in front of a certain red-haired spartan, kicking up a small snowstorm which covers the entire park deep within Argus.
A shield falls out of a tree, landing on the head of a dopey blond with a clang. "Agh-"
It's taken about a month, buuut I finally managed to track down everyone I want to grant a weapon to!
"Well well well~! With my little prophesy work done, now I can- wait how much divinity do I have?"

"Holy shit!"
"Wait, I have worshipers?"
Your name is muttered throughout some archeologist groups, the slight belief of a higher power intriguing them just enough to toy with the idea of you being real.
'then who the hell is my 'Fanatical worshiper?'
Nora Valkyrie
'ah.'
She has dubbed you 'The all-powerful sky daddy'.
'…'
I allow myself to lay as I gaze up into the starry sky, shattered moon slowly setting and the sun preparing to wake the world below me.
I frown. "Wait a fucking second- the big dipper?! What the hell are YOU doing on remnant buddy?!"
I let out a small gasp.
'I know what I want my next temple to be!'
'celestial spirits... here I come!'
And, you know what? I'm going to rework that damned spirit key system into my own image! There should be no damn way that fucking PLUE is on par with fucking POLARIS the GIANT MECHA BEAR which threw hands with Pisces of the twelve zodiac!
And where the hell is fucking DRACO?! HYDRUS?! PHOENIX?! OR PERSIUS AND ORION?!
That's it! Fuck it! Four kinds of keys it is!
Copper, Silver, Gold, and Platinum!
I should really just send Ethernano across the world... see what happens~
'let's see here... to get celestial spirits... I need to one: create the celestial spirit realm... Preferably with One-one time passage... but how much energy is it going to take to create an ENTIRE new dimension?!'
Only one way to find out I suppose...
Anyways, I select the Life domain as my next domain.
Healing Touch:
Your healing abilities created through divine powers function as if they were cast one stage higher. Petty Lesser Moderate Greater Overpowering Oversuperdoublepowered.
Note. That last one was made up... Overpowering might be unlocked upon reaching Divine rank 2000 or so, so we thought that we should just make one up for that eventual issue. Oversuperdoublepowered Will not be able to be achieved through normal means... bar having divine ranks of a ridiculous amount, such as 100,000... please do not make us create another realm of power beyond that of Oversuperdoublepowered.
'aaaanyways, spirit keys would coincide with three of my current domains, so I SHOUUULD be able to accomplish at least Copper keys with just Lesser abilities...'
I hold out my hands.
'time to create an entirely new dimension- POCKET dimension.
With a small flicker as the moonlight turns off, I am suddenly in a dark sphere about-
I create an orb of light that floats around.
A fifty-foot diameter.
Lesser Divine Abilities: 4 Per Month: (0/4)
"fuck." I frown. "At least I made it~"
I focus my power on the back of my palm.
'transportation... warp... teleportation... return me to my last location...'
*Pop*
With a flash, I am back out in the open sky, just in time to see the sun ever so slightly peeking over the horizon.
I look down to see a black star on the back of my hand.
'I assume this is what keeps me bound to the celestial spirit realm? Allowing me to go back? Well, frankly, I don't think I should call it the 'Celestial Spirit Realm' juuuust yet... more like Void.'
'welp. Time to act like a weary traveler wandering the world, clearing out the grimm in my path and saving villages purely to get interconnected to this plot I am weaving~'
A dark grey hooded cloak reaching my waist, covering half of my body, swishes behind me as I continue along the path to a nearby village.
I had tied it in such a way that it allows one of my arms freedom while the other is safely tucked beneath.
I pass through the gates with a small smile, the first time I have been near any civilization in the past... half a year since I have been here? Canon is approaching in around a year and a half...
I immediately make my way towards what I can deduce- from the smell- is a windmill bakery.
I enter through the front door, causing a small bell to jingle above head.
The small girl behind the counter, maybe eight or nine flinches herself out of a daydream. "W-Welcome-"
Her eyes are drawn to the floating orb in my staff, causing her to lose her train of thought. "Woah!"
"Hey mister! How is that floating?!"
"Magic." I snort as I pause in front of the counter. "This is a bakery, yes?"
"Mhm!" The girl cheerfully nods.
"Do you accept Lien or trade?"
"W-Well, mister, Lien isn't much good out here, so we really only work in trade." She whispers, anxiously awaiting my response.
"Hrm." I hum. "That's fine... I just so happen to have run into a small deposit of fire dust during my travels."
I place a small tube filled with an orange powder onto the table.
"oooooh!"
"Do you have anything sweet? Traveling the world on Hardtack and dried fruit has frankly been a nightmare." I ask.
"Well, we have cinnamon rolls!"
"Will this be enough to pay for it?"
"Uhhhhh-" the girl hums. "Let me go ask my mom!"
She scurries into the back room, causing me to blankly stare after her.
"…"
I gaze around the shop... its fairly basic all things considering... but they have a glass front to their counter which is fairly surprising for something this far out in the boonies.
A few moments later a brown haired woman steps out of the back room. "Hello, sir, you said that you would like to purchase something?"
"One cinnamon roll, please." I state as I gesture to the vial of fire dust.
"With that much dust, you could buy a whole pan..." she states.
"Nah. I just want one... but you can keep all of the dust." I shrug.
"My, how generous..." The woman hums.
I simply nod as she grabs a napkin, carefully picks up a cinnamon roll, and gives it to me.
I nod and turn around. "Thanks."
"Please come again!" The woman waves.
As soon as I step outside, a massive explosion wracks the wooden wall surrounding the small village.
I grit my teeth. "You have got to be kidding me."
The staff floats out of my grasp as I take a small step up onto it, then I quickly blast across the village to see carnage... rough looking people with cobbled together weapons and quickly filing into the village.
'bandits.'
I see one of the men raise a weapon above his head, prepared to bring it down onto a small boy.
I narrow my eyes and kick my staff, causing it to blur forwards.
*CRANG-*
The bottom of the staff collides with the side of the blade, sending the blade flipping out of his hand as it blurs past.
He widens his eyes and turns to look in my direction, but my shin meets his face and sends him rocketing into the wall.
"Get out of here, kid." I growl as I land on my feet, cinnamon roll in hand as I take a large bite. "Ish but to grt mssy."
The bandits have all paused at my sudden entrance.
"SHIT! Huntsmen!" One shouts.
A couple in the back raise guns towards me, but I seemingly effortlessly tilt my head around a couple of the bullets.
I take another bite of my cinnamon roll as I send the staff rocketing forwards with a small gesture.
The club-like bend smashes one of them in the face, turning upwards where it spirals through the air.
It suddenly stops as I point my index finger and middle finger downwards, launching the pointed bottom of the staff as another man.
"HRRRAGH!" A man lunges for me, preparing to bisect me with a scrap metal blade.
The staff blurs over to my side and uses the bend the orb resides in as a hook, grabbing onto the back of the man's shirt and yanking him backwards.
I finish the cinnamon roll and wipe my hand on his shirt, then step past and slam my elbow into the nape of his neck.
The staff slowly floats into my hand. "I'll give you all one warning. Leave or die."
I slam the bottom into the dirt, causing a couple bolts of lightning to smash down around me from the steadily appearing clouds above.
I smile, slightly fanged teeth gleaming as my red eyes glint menacingly.
A single woman strides forwards, she wears a shallow cut black and red dress with black shorts underneath, her forearms bear red armored bracers that protrude outwards and underneath, are solid black gloves, she wears black mid-thigh high leggings with red splatter patterns and black heels, on her face is a long-nosed white and red mask, seeming similar to that of a nevermore.
At her waist is a large sheath with assorted colored blades in a cylinder, currently, she wields a katana with a deep blood-red blade.
I narrow my eyes slightly, pulling a coin from my pocket as she stands a good thirty feet away.
I let out a scoff. "So, who are you supposed to be?"
"Names are unimportant to dead men." She responds. "Your first mistake was standing in our way... the Branwen tribe always get what they want."
I snort.
"You know... it's kind of funny~" I hum. "You tried to kill something without being ready to be killed yourself? Doesn't that seem odd to you? These people are simple villagers with no way to defend themselves... yet your men attack them... even children."
I sense her narrow her eyes behind her mask.
"They were helpless... and soon you will be helpless..." I state as I flick the coin up into the air. "How do you like looking death in the face?"
She blurs forwards, sword arcing towards my neck-
The coin hits the ground about ten feet to the left of us.
The head of my staff finds jabbed upwards into her nose, her mask utterly shattering on impact as she slides backwards.
I immediately send a wave of lightning at her, causing her to dive to the side with a slightly stunned expression on her face as the mask flakes off it in large pieces.
She dashes forwards again, only to be stopped as a bolt of lightning arcs across the ground in front of her.
I smile as I send another wave of lightning at her, causing her to leap up into the air.
The staff blurs out of my grasp as I swat my hand downwards, as if squashing a bug.
The crook of the staff smashes into her back, causing her to slam into the ground.
"You better get serious... or you are going to die." I scoff as the staff crashes back into the ground right beside me.
Raven rises from the crater with a grimace, she narrows her eyes.
"Who are you?" She asks. "No one at your age should have this amount of power."
"My name is Nicodemus. And I'm impressed that you caught on... though I suppose I wasn't trying that hard to hide it... I haven't moved or used my body to attack once this entire time after all~" I grin.
"I'd say it's time to stop holding back, don't you say?"
"Indeed." She snarls as she shoots her sword as me, red streams of light flickering around her eyes.
I launch forwards as well, and as we meet in the middle, I duck her strike, a magic circle appearing behind her that creates a massive pillar of ice which she uses as a springboard to leap past me.
She tilts her body backwards, creating another which she rebounds off of and uses to launch another backhanded swing at me.
My staff zooms over and knocks it off course.
A yellow magic circle forms in her hand causing her eyes to widen slightly and get drawn to it.
A huge bolt of lightning is dodged as it spews from the magic circle towards me.
We both back off, now on opposite sides as she glances back down to her hand briefly.
"You can use magic..." I frown.
"You know about magi-"
"Of course, I know." I scoff. "How do you think I am keeping up with you without any aura?"
I grin. "I can use it too."
A massive magic circle appears below me. "Mist Make: Missile!"
Five long arrows of mist form in the air around me, taking a brief moment to spin up before launching themselves towards the spring maiden.
She raises her hands, creating a wall of ice which takes the five blasts and shatters, she blurs through the icy haze and slams her hand on the ground coating the floor in ice and creating an icy mist that hides her from my vision.
"Ohoho big mistake."
*Suuuuuuuuuuuu*
The mist quickly starts flowing towards one location... my mouth.
I slide on my knees, in between Raven's legs, then as she tracks me I have turned around to face her.
"the thing about this type of dragon slayer magic is that I can eat mist to increase my magical power..."
A large magic circle is rotating in front of my mouth.
"MIST DRAGON'S ROOOOOAR"
A gale of frozen mist spirals from the magic circle, lifting the woman off the ground and launching her through one of the village's walls and off into the distance as the blast curves upwards slightly, then abruptly turns downwards and smashes into a mountain face about a mile away, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
I glance around to see that most of the bandits had cleared out during my fight.
"Mn."
I hold out my hands, clenched fist over an open palm. "Mist Make: Soldiers"
Ten misty constructs form around me, each looking like a suit of armor made of mist.
"Repair the wall." I command as I sit on my staff as it floats behind me. "Kill any grimm approaching the village."
'well... I held back on that last attack... so she should be fine... if not a little banged up from crashing into the ground at high speeds...'
I boredly float around the village with a thoughtful expression.
Your divine rank has increased, refreshing your divine abilities.
"oho!"
I disappear back into the void I am making.
I hold out my hands, causing the dimension to increase massively.
I hold out my hand, creating more small lights with my petty divine abilities that scatter around the realm, making it look like stars.
I wave my hand, causing a bright yellow tile to appear, then another, then another, till eventually a there is a large circular platform that I can stand on... floating in the false starlight.
It took a while to build with my petty abilities, but it is finally completed.
This place is going to get fucking AWESOME eventually... but don't I need to like... create planets for this place?!
Oooh! New idea! A second pair of Zodiacs following the Japanese Zodiac! That'd be cool as fuck! Maybe instead of gold... what's a cool metal better than silver?
Maybe brass or bronze? Eh. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it!
I return back to the world with a hum, lazily laying on my staff as I look to see that the constructs have finished replacing the logs in the wall.
"Weeelp" I state as I stand up. "I wonder how Raven is doing?"
I shoot across the sky and look over a crater easily thirty feet wide... she's gone... but definitely wounded considering the blood... not all that much all things considering, but a couple splatters here, a few drops there... it'll definitely make the bitch think about attacking villages for a while at least~
I blast off into the distance with a grin, deciding to circle the planet for a while till I find something worth my time.
I soar through the air, balls of electricity spewing from the yellow orb in my staff as I stay just ahead of a pack of Lancers.
A jagged stinger tip shoots over my shoulder and retracts just in time for one of the orbs to strike one of the grimm's wings, sending it spiraling out of control and to the ground miles below.
I am currently clearing out a stinger nest purely because I really want the floating island it is on... I'm going to make it into a mobile floating castle!
"Mist Make: Missiles!" I call out as I hold a hand behind me, conjuring ten smokey projectiles which arc from my fingers, crashing into and piercing through most of the chasing creature's armored carapaces.
"Dynamic Mist Make: Eagles."
Several birds appear from another magic circle as they launch towards a trailing Lancer Queen, immediately seeking out its wings and biting and tearing into them with their beaks and claws, sending it hurtling towards the forest floor below.
"Well... that was the last of them!"
I land on the fairly large island, a pep in my step as I walk around.
With a wave of my hand, several tiles appear in a line, then with more petty divine abilities the line expands outwards.
'I need to really expand my powers some more if I want to get Celestial spirits done by Canon...'
I slowly tap my chin. "Hrmm... what if..."
My eyes widen. "Deliora..."
My face splits into a grin. 'I just need to create a big stupid demon and send it towards a city... then stop it singlehandedly before it reaches said city! Preferably a non-Atlas controled one... I mean, I'm pretty close to Argus- by that I mean 'within one hundred miles' but they have a giant 'fuck off' robot so I mean... that might just kick my Deliora knockoff's ass... but on the other hand... Pyrrha exists... Hmmm'
'eh, I'm still going to probably make it... I'll start work as soon as I get my divine powers back!'
Pov: ?
"Qrow..." A woman growls as she sits in her bed, bandages wrapped around her torso and arms. "Why are you here?"
"Damn Rave... who fucked you up?" A man with a scruffy appearance snorts.
"We are not talking about that... we are speaking about why you have tracked me down once more." The woman snarls.
"Geez" Qrow scoffs. "I see... touchy subject."
He tosses a picture onto a table, on it is some sort of ancient mural with six weapons. "I wanted to know if you have seen any of these weapons... Ozpin has made finding all six a high priority."
The woman, 'Rave' glances over the picture, the glass in her hand shattering as her eyes stray over the staff and yellow orb.
"Oh? So you do know about them... and maybe... just maybe... one of these is what put you in this state to begin with?"
"He is dangerous, Qrow." Raven frowns. "He toyed with me. He didn't even have aura... no, he used... magic."
"W-What?!" Qrow hisses.
"It was a simple raid, but he appeared... a boy, no older than sixteen with a staff and yellow orb... it flew around him like it had a mind of its own, striking with the force of a raging Deathstalker... but he is another matter entirely... one of my blades shattered, creating an icy mist around us... then he ate it."
"Wait... what?"
"He ate the mist, said it was Increasing his magical power, then a glyph appeared in front of his face... he summoned a massive gale of icy mist that carried me through one of the walls of the encampment and the next thing I knew, I was waking up miles away in a thirty foot crater with several ribs, my left shoulder, my right shin, and most of my fingers on my left hand broken.
"H-Holy shit..." The man whispers.
"He called it 'Dragon Slayer magic'."
"Dragon slayer magic?" The man repeats.
"From what I have gathered, it appears to be a magic specifically designed for killing dragons... in this case, mist dragons... if he can eat mist to grow stronger, he would of course be the perfect weapon against something that produces it... the problem is, dragons don't exist." The woman growls.
They sit in silence for a couple of moments. "Now, I have told you mine, now tell me yours... what are these weapons?"
"The six elemental weapons are six artifacts created by some apparent god even before the existence of the grimm, each based on a certain element."
"I see..." Raven frowns. "First the Maidens... and now the elemental weapons..."
She scoffs. "Damn magical nonsense."
"Their powers are very real, Raven." Qrow frowns. "And I think you have realized that."
"So, I take it Ozpin has found one as well?"
"Yes." Qrow nods as he stands up. "Well, this little visit has been fun and all... particularly amusing to see you like this, but I have a teenager with an all-powerful staff and magic to find."
He walks to the front of the tent.
"Qrow."
He pauses, pulling back one of the flaps.
"Be wary... he did not seem in the best of minds when we faught."
"I'll take that under consideration." Qrow states with a small frown.
I watch absentmindedly as the reddish-black and dark grey eighteen-story monstrosity slowly makes its way through the forests below... I took inspiration from Deliora so it has long muscly arms, armored body, digitigrade hind legs, but instead of the normal stubby tail I gave it a long snake-like one with a mouth on the end... sort of like Shin Godzilla.
Its head is that of a goat but more carnivorous with large curling horns that curve backwards behind its head.
I made it super durable, super strong, and the ability to roar loud enough to shatter windows, and shoot a laser beam from its mouth and tail.
And it is heading right for Argus...
I pull out a magic telescope I made with a couple of my petty divine abilities.
'soooo what's going on over there?'
Bullheads are flying over the city like an angry swarm of bees, that mecha the Cordovin bitch pilots is walking around the wall... it seems like it had to go down the coast and circle around one of the surrounding mountains.
Well... this will certainly let me see the might of a giant fucking robot... I want to see a fight between a kaiju and a mecha so I mean... this'll be great!
Pov: ?
"This is Amber Crystalline, here atop the wall surrounding Argus, where today a large black creature has been seen approaching the city." A pale woman with brown hair announces into a microphone with the words "ANN" stamped on the microphone flag. "Misses Cordovin has entered the fray with the Atlesian Colossus, along with hundreds of Atlas' finest, and it looks like the fight is coming to a close!"
The camera pans over the woman's shoulder to show the large form of the colossus holding the goat... thing... under its gun arm in some sort of headlock, repeatedly bashing it in the face with its fist arm.
The beast's arm comes up and catches the fist before it can make contact again, then with a feral sounding growl which rattles the camera and ruffles the brown-haired woman's hair, its tail crashes into the back of the mech, sending it sprawling forwards and forcing it to release its hold over the beast.
The mech quickly turns around just in time to catch a punch which rattles the hard-light shield which suddenly appears to protect against the blow.
The mech takes a couple steps backwards, raising the gun arm as a canister slides into the gun.
The beast's tail whips into the underside of the cannon, making it point skywards and unleash a massive beam of electricity.
"Hrn... this is looking bad..." A new voice announces. "it's learning as it fights."
The woman's eyes seem to be drawn to something other than the fight. "What... the hell?" She whispers.
The camera quickly turns around to see a white-haired boy with red eyes sitting on a horizontal staff that is absently floating in the air about three feet off the ground.
The boy smiles slightly, giving a small peace sign wave and a "Yo."
He looks past the camera. "You might want to keep your eyes on the fight... it's not everyday you get to see a robot fight a demon... shame the robot's losing."
The camera turns again just in time to see the 'demon' unleash a mighty beam from its mouth that arcs against the mech's shield, causing metal giant to stumble backwards.
The beam eventually stops as the demon's tail lashes out behind it, the mech raising its cannon arm once more, canisters slide into place as a warm blue glow starts radiating from the barrel.
The demon's tail moves with a purpose, angling itself to be facing the barrel of the cannon.
A thin beam shoots from the tail as what had looked to just be a simple spiked mace opens up like a flower, revealing a gaping maw along with rows upon rows of teeth, the beam goes right into the cannon, causing it to explode into a vibrant cacophony of ice, earth, and electricity dust, coating the entire arm with ice and rock, causing it to slump to the ground as it is weighted down.
"hmm hmm... what sort of song should I play for this..." Is heard whispered out of shot.
The demon immediately capitalizes, slamming a fist into the mech's cockpit and sending it reeling onto its back where it steps over and stomps down right on its chest, cracking the glass.
"This'll do." The voice continues.
Bgm: Fire Dragon vs Flame God Ost
It opens its mouth, a warm green glow appearing at the back of its throat.
"Welp. Time to step in I suppose." The boy grunts from out of frame as suddenly the camera rattles again, Amber's hair being wildly thrown around by wind.
Bgm: End
A glowing light can be seen making its way rapidly closer to the demon.
A blast of wind can be seen blown outwards as the light makes contact with it, the demon stumbling to the right and unleashing its prepared beam which carves into the dirt just beside the mech and cuts about seven hundred feet into the distance.
The dot flies closer and the beast recoils again, another blast of wind being shot out from the demon's cheek, this time, in its already unbalanced state, the demon falling off the mech and to the ground with a rumble that can be heard from even here.
"He... He knocked down the beast with two... punches?" Crystalline whispers to herself.
The beast crawls to its feet and looks around, spotting the glowing blue dot and swinging its fist at it, but the dot moves and several small projectiles strike the demon... only annoying it really.
A MASSIVE bolt of lightning strikes the demon head on, causing it to slide backwards a good fifty feet, clutching its chest as a scorch mark appears.
The explosion of sound eventually reaches the camera and forces Amber to cover her ears... that noise is probably the loudest thing anyone in Argus has ever heard... several windows in the city shattering immediately.
The blue dot blurs forwards where it flies over a backhand from the demon, then a tail slap, a swat with it's other hand, and blasts its way through a hunk of earth the size of a three-story building.
The beast lets out a massive roar as it prepares another mouth-beam.
The blue dot glows brighter.
The demon lets out a mouth beam, and the blue dot shoots out a massive murky-white line... nearly the same size as the beam the demon let out... they collide in the middle, the dot's beam quickly gaining traction as the demon's beam is seemingly spit and shot out in all directions in a cone shape.
The demon's tail snakes around and smashes into the blue dot, sending it careening into the ground where a large puff of dust explodes, ending the power of the white line and allowing the demon's own beam to take over and arc out into the sky.
The demon dashes towards the puff of dust and slams its foot down but it freezes, seemingly trying to put more and more strength into its step but remaining unmoving.
The demon stumbles back, then another white line, smaller than the first strikes its face, causing it to stumble further and cover its face with a hand.
"What the hell is going on..." The reporter whispers. "This thing shrugs off most of the colossus' blows... then this random fucking kid shows up and actually hurts this monster?!"
The demon dashes forwards again, slamming its fist down into the ground, creating a massive puff of dust. where it stops moving for another moment... before it is picked up by the arm and flipped through the air and up into the sky.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Amber roars.
A white line shoots off the ground, going right for the demon's chest, it pierces cleanly through and goes up into the sky where it turns into a long eastern dragon that curves downwards, it coils itself around the demon like a snake, first going down its tail in a spiral before wrapping around its torso and arms... then it suddenly stops at the neck and bites it, then a moment later the entire thing detonates.
Everyone inside a small eating establishment gapes at the Tv... they had heard the explosions and roaring... but THIS?
The door jingles, causing most to glance over to the door, standing there is a boy, roughly sixteen with snow white hair, red eyes, and blood dripping down his forehead in droves... on his back is a staff with a floating orb... just like on the Tv.
He casually sits down at the counter as if he isn't bleeding horribly and twiddles his thumbs slightly as he waits for someone to take his order.
He taps his fingers on the counter with a small smile, eyes straying to the side for a moment before looking forwards again.
A woman not really paying attention steps over with a menu. "Hello, sir, what would you like to order to- DEAR GODS! A-ARE YOU OKAY?!"
She had looked up as several people pull out their scrolls and start recording.
"I'll have three cheeseburgers, two large fries-"
"S-Sir?! You're bleeding a lot!"
"I'm fine." The boy states. "It's just a flesh wound."
"Y-You should still get some medical attention, Sir."
"Whaaat? Nooo." The boy waves off. "I'm fiiiine you should see the other guy."
"Sir. I'm going to refuse to serve you until you go out and get some help."
"Lady. I just fought a fucking DEMON the size of a skyscraper. I'm tired. Hungry. And a little annoyed that it bitchslapped me with its tail. LET ME PURCHASE A BURGER FOR GODS SAKE!"
Her eyes stray to the Tv where it shows a person standing in front of a greenscreen talking about the fight that just occurred... clips of it flashing every now and then in the background.
"Sir. I can't serve you. The fact that you are bleeding everywhere is really unsanitary."
The boy narrows his eyes at her, she narrows her eyes back.
"…"
"Damn lady... you have balls of fucking steel." The boy notes as he stands up. "Fine then. I'll take my business elsewhere! Maybe somewhere where they don't care if you are covered in blood!"
He pauses at the door. "Wait- that came out wrong..."
The woman with half-lidded eyes raises an eyebrow.
"Tch- fuck it." The boy scoffs as he leaves, the bell jingling overhead as he opens and closes the door.
Pov: Nicodemus
"Damn lady... not letting me purchase my damn food." I growl as I sit a couple miles up above Argus.
A lot of things are happening at once... one: I figured out I could give power to my 'celestial spirit world' without actually having to be there... so all of my refreshing's have gone into that...
Two:
…
Getting media attention was DEFINITELY worth it.
Hell, I'm already trending on Tweeter as 'Boy with the Orb'
*Ping*
I flinch as I am hit with another sensory overload. 'wait, what?! Did I just-'
I trail off as I notice a slight blue glow to my body.
'nono stop that right now.'
The glow disappears.

Holy... shit...
I disappear into the celestial spirit realm only to widen my eyes as I see several large planetoids floating around... it has changed MASSIVELY... keep in mind that I channeled over TWO HUNDRED Lesser Divine Abilities into this place during my thirty or so divine rank ascension.
The planets are... fairly large all things considered... I'd place them each well over ten to twenty-five times the size of Patch... if patch was like a floating island with gravity...
I land on the tropical one... it has islands and beaches, but most of the surface is made of water.
This is... nice.
I'd say it's ready for me to make a horde of Copper-rank spirits... aaaafter I check and see if there is any sort of domain to assist me.
Eh, I ran through the list a couple of times, but really, I haven't seen much... I eventually decided to pick up Ki so I can develop Kaioken... or maybe some Variant that effects Aura and Semblances... then I scrubbed through it again and chose 'Aura' domain... y'know, like Aura and Semblances? I might pick up strength domain or electricity later, but for now... I've got some work to do!
I wave my hand, spending one of my lesser divine abilities to see just how many Canis Minor keys I can create.
That number was five.
I stare blankly down at the five little snowmen of assorted types... how these are dogs... I don't know, but that's how it worked in fairy tail, so that's how it's going to be!
I also gave them the ability to grow stronger depending on how much energy the user spends on them, sort of like a multiplier! Buuuut considering their base strength...
It sort of works like this: if the summoner uses up say twice the energy to summon, they appear and are twice as strong... but keep in mind this is going to have MASSIVE diminishing returns so say for ten times the energy, they might only be three to four times stronger... you should also keep in mind the base strength... I'd place a regular, non-alpha, fully adult, beowolf's 'example power level' at 10... they get absolutely mulched in combat and die fairly easily against a huntsmen with aura... these Canis Minor... have a power level of .1
So, for ten times the cost, they can be .4, maybe enough to headbutt a beowolf to stun it... but not enough to even begin to bother it.
But also keep in mind that their energy cost is going to be REALLY cheap, maybe even 1/10 a regular copper key's cost which in turn will be maybe 1/10th of even the weakest silver key which will be 1/10th of a brass/gold key, ect~
With a wave of my hand, forty five more Nikora appear, each with varying appearances ranging from Plue's to a small red spotted one with big blue... souless... eyes.
I'd like to have maybe two hundred of these total... and I can accomplish that easily within like four days... maybe twenty-five each of the other 'Copper' spirits.
'well... I guess I should see just how powerful a 'moderate divine ability' is...'
I raise my hand up and suddenly one hundred and fifty more Canis Minor appear along with twenty five each of a couple other spirits.
You have Crux the sleeping cross... twenty five different variations of Lyra the Lyre, several vibrantly colored Peacocks... some fish with wings... several small pixie looking girls with red hair pins that look like insectoid eyes, a group of huge toucans, a couple ponies, a couple girls who's height could give Neopolitan a run for her money, each with rabbit ears, a few sawfish who's noses are RIDICULOUSLY long... a couple blue ghostly arrows, the compass birds from the anime, aaaand a few more...
'holy fuck.'
One of the Lyra's look around briefly. "Wh- what?"
That is all she can get out before they are scattered around the many planetoids with a flash.
A MASSIVE sack of keys appear in front of me with a jingle.
After a while, I sort out the Cross keys, putting them in a separate sack, and teleport out of the celestial spirit realm.
I took out Crux's keys because I don't really want people getting 'celestial knowledge' before I complete all the spirit keys...
Now, all I really need to do is set up a temple somewhere in Vale or Mistral... Qrow is probably looking for me at this point, so he should eventually show up, then I can point him in the right direction.
Should be simple enough... I'll do it tomorrow.
You divine rank has increased, thus your Lesser Divine Abilities have been refreshed.
Or... right now... right now is good.
'let's see here... I have all of the copper and silver keys ready... and I'd say that's enough to start out with...'
I wave my hand over the bag.
"Scatter."
A wave of keys float from the bag, slowly making their way up and up higher into the sky, then with a twinkle they blast outwards in all directions, lighting up the night sky briefly and causing dim trails to follow after them as they scatter throughout the planet- and I made sure that none of them would appear in the water because, frankly that is a nightmare hellscape and I know that not even I would go down there to look for them.
I turn to the temple I have created and enter, allowing myself to float slowly over all the traps till I reach the final room.
I float up to a large pedestal in the center of the room and pull out four silver keys and four copper, arranging them so that the silver each point in the four main directions, and the Copper are placed in the north-east, south east, south west, and north west positions.
In the middle I place a lacrima that projects the constellations into the dome-like ceiling.
I slowly nod 'yeees... this should be good...'
Now all I really need to do is get Qrow's attention... I made sure that this was reasonably close to a village...
'Hrmm...'
I pause, the corners of my mouth turning upwards.
Pov: ?
I let out several loud pants as I continue sprinting forwards as fast as I can, several loud crashes and explosions echo out from behind me, causing me to flinch for each one.
A loud crashing sound reverberates out as a figure crashes through a tree behind be, sliding to a halt as he stabs his sword into the ground and launches himself back the way he came.
*CRANNNNG* his sword collides with the crossed arms of a young man with red slit pupils and sharp teeth, his yellow hair having two short horns protruding from the sides.
"RUBY! Keep running!" The man shouts as the sword morphs into a scythe, twin barrels near the handguard curving up towards the younger horned man's face, causing him to grin.
The dual shotguns discharge, knocking him back slightly as another figure leaps out of the tree line, looking exactly like the first.
His shin collides with Qrow's side as he performs a roundhouse kick.
As Qrow slides away, he hooks the end of his scythe around the figure's ankle, causing him to trip and fall on his back.
With a twirl of his scythe, Qrow tries to impale him with the tip, but the figure rolls away, allowing the blade to sink into the dirt.
A third figure appears, same as the first two, and smashes his fist right into Qrow's face, causing him to stumble back.
A fourth figure appears in front of me.
"Wow... you humans are pathetic~" he grins as he looks down at me. "My clones have my powers split evenly between them, you know... and one of the best huntsmen in Vale can barely even handle one of four."
He draws his fist back, preparing to hit me with it, but Qrow appears and knocks him away with a slash.
A blast of power hits him in the side, causing him to grit his teeth as he protectively steps in front of me.
"Now, now, Azura... do give them some credit..." A second voice begins, this one female. "To survive against you for an extended amount of time... even whilst you are holding back... is quite a feat~"
"I'm not letting you take Ruby!" Qrow snarls.
A woman in a kimono steps into view, she has long dark brown hair and glinting red eyes, however, they are seemingly unnatural as they have a ring of yellow around them as well.
She has a good-natured smile that turns vicious as she waves her hand, creating a small floating dragon made of some sort of yellowish energy.
It swirls around her head. "You don't really have a choice, no?"
Another figure crashes down, through the branches, he is much larger than the first two, and doesn't even look remotely human... he has arms, legs and apposable thumbs, sure, but he has large bat-like wings on his back, a scaly and reptile-like face with horns, and a long tail with a stinger on it. "Give us the wielder!" It snarls out.
Another figure is wrapped up in its tail. "U-Uncle Qrow!"
"YANG!" I cry out.
The beast-like creature lowers its body slightly and gazes off into the sky.
"It approaches." He growls.
"MIST DRAGON'S WRECKING FIST!" The clouds part, as a blur crashes into the clearing.
The gargoyle-like creature releases Yang, swinging its tail around to intercept the blow, and it does, but the force of the attack shatters the ground, causing large cracks to form for a good thirty feet in all directions and blowing Yang backwards with a sudden blast of wind.
A white-haired boy had appeared from the heavens.
A staff smashes into the creature's chest going at mach one, sending it hurtling off into the distance and carving a path of destruction in its wake.
A puff of dust kicks up in the distance, a large trench carved in that direction as trees fall.
He turns around and looks right at Qrow. "I don't know who you are, but get the two of them out of here."
I am lifted up as Qrow places his sword on his back and picks me up under his arm, a sheathed blade with a floating crystal clutched to my chest.
"Shit!" The cloning one roars as he glances to the woman. "Izuna!"
"we can still take him if we work together." The woman frowns.
Uncle Qrow blurs over to Yang and picks her up as well.
Pov: Nicodemus.
I stare at two- technically five- of my creations... not that they know that of course...
I drop down into a fighting stance as I grin, Qrow quickly disappearing into the distance. "Let's see what you both can do!"
I duck a tail swipe from behind as the demon that got punted returns, bleeding a sickly green blood out of its mouth and down it's forehead.
"I'll take on all six of you at once." I grin as I flip forwards, my heel wreathed in mist as it smashes into the chin of the demon 'Asgorath'.
"MIST DRAGON'S TALLON!"
I'm having fun!
I place one hand on the ground and with a spin I smash my other leg into the demon's chest, knocking him back as I push off the ground and over a swipe from one of the four clones.
My knee comes up and blocks a kick from a second as I let out a 'mist dragon's roar' to shred through a yellow dragon of condensed pain.
My staff whirls around and smacks clone three as he leaps off the ground as clone four smashes a fist into my chest, knocking me into the ground as my aura springs to life to take the blow.
I flip backwards as a stinger collides with the ground, the grey Asgorath trying desperately to get any of his paralytic poison into me, and as I get to my feet I catch the staff that zooms over to my and unleash a point-blank lightning bolt which launches him into the distance.
I haphazardly toss the staff over my shoulder, then catch two attacks from clones as I cross my hands over my chest.
I swing my arms outwards, smashing them through trees on opposite sides of the clearing and turning to the woman once more who is hurling a disk of yellow energy at me.
I boredly bat it past me, frowning as even the slightest touch causes an intense pain to spike through my hand, completely bypassing my aura.
The disk soars into one of the clones attacking me from behind as with my other hand I smash my fist into the nose of the other.
"AAAAGH!"
I cup my hands in front of me. "Mist Make: Lance!"
A large spear arcs its way towards the woman, who widens her eyes and dives out of the way, allowing the spear to carve a trench in the landscape.
"You three are pathetic..." I note as I catch the punch of one of the returning clones.
I cause him to fold inwards around my fist as I unleash a brutal gut-punch.
One of the three remaining clones wraps their arms around my torso from behind. "IZUNA! HIT HIM!"
She raises her hands above her head and sends a barrage of pain arrows at me.
I blink, then flip forwards, looping my feet around my staff that zooms over to me.
"AAAAAAAGH!" The clone roars in agony as he is struck by the darts that sink fully into his back, causing him to glow bright yellow.
He disappears with a poof of black smoke as the two remaining clones flinch.
I savagely grin as I get back to my feet. "Alright~ two down... four to go!"
I look around. "WHO'S NEXT?!"
*Crickets chirping*
"What?"
They had all run away...
"…"
"YOU LITTLE BITCHES!"
*This Is Where I stopped Writing*
Hi, this is just a little experiment using Monster Hunterman's 'Divinity System', sort of interesting, but eh, got a little bored while writing it. Though, you might notice how some of these stories actually bleed into my other stories quite frequently... sooo you might be seeing this alternative Celestial Spirit system or hell, even a fairy tail/Rwby crossover sometime soon!
Anyways, It's getting quite late, so I suppose I am just going to go to bed.
