Moroes
"Are the elite already gathered up?" I asked Robyn, the organizer of the current event.
"Yeah, they heard you wanted them and they all came running." Robyn answered, seeming uninterested.
"Then I shall be there shortly." I said before terminating the call.
It's been a very painfully boring 30 minutes.
As it turns out, time becomes very slow when waiting for something to come. It's a lesson well taught, but it seems I'm the fool in expecting an hour to come quickly.
At the very least, I am comforted by the fact that this will be the end.
Transforming into a bird, I start to fly to the gathering zone…
And then I noticed a commotion on the street coming straight towards where I was.
Is that…?

Oh, yes. It was. How irritating, coming straight towards me when I don't even have my soldiers to use to fully maximize my potential.
…And what's that… Disgusting four-legged creature chasing them?

The culmination of your greed.
…What?
Ugh, if it's chasing the heroes, then it's my ally. I shouldn't let go of this opportunity.
I texted Robyn to send my warriors to my current location, as I began to stop their escape.
Sicias
The situation is fine.
Absolutely fine.
"Greedy children must be punished!"
THE SITUATION IS NOT FINE.
Luckily, we were with team RWBY and co when the modifier monster appeared, but it's a very bad situation right now.
As in, the modifier monster completely ignores them and is heading straight toward Mythandras and I, causing us to run. Our 'friends' (They're still kind of bitter about the whole mission thing) were helping us to chip away at the monster's health, but dear lord it has a lot of health.
So, our situation right now: we are running in the middle of Mantle for dear life. We are attracting tons of attention.
And you know why that's bad?
"Liberation Army Base 8! We found the 2 criminals Moroes were looking for!" A grunt said to his earphone.
Yeah, that's why.
Now, MOROES was going to come after us soon , and dear lord we are not ready for that fight.
Suddenly, the street we were running in gets blocked off by a large wall of vines.
"Ah, you two truly are the worst type of enemy to face, you know?" A familiar voice comes from up high, "You have no plan, yet you've completely wasted my own time in the process. What a shame."
…I must be dreaming. How else could he have come here so quickly?
Mustering up the courage, I looked up and-

Well, shit.
Moroes
Looking behind them, it seems that team RWBY is trying to fight the monster, and is failing miserably. So I should likely make this quick so that they won't try to interfere with this particular battle.
"Now!" I shouted out, charging up one of my spells, not even allowing them to try and refute anything, "Become the foundation my future is built upon!"
Throwing out a spell towards Mythandras that she predictably dodged, I decided that using my spells at a long distance is a completely futile effort. This is a battle that needs to be decided at close ranges, because I would never be able to hit them otherwise.
"Run?!" Mythandras shouted out, looking moments away from jumping away.
"Run!" Sicias shouted back, already turning into an alleyway.
…How irritating.
Transforming into a raptor, I jumped down from my high ground to continue pursuing them. It's unlikely they'll outspeed me either, and once I catch up to them I'll be able to hold my Crescent Rose with my claws to surprise them.
So I ran towards the alleyway they headed towards and-
Immediately run into a net wall made out of water.
I had been fooled.
"Now!"
As soon as I ran into the wall, I activated Iron Skin, and soon felt the hits on my body from various knives and water bolts.
130 damage taken [1,570/1,700]
How fortunate they don't have anything strong to hit me with!
I broke through the water net with my claws, as it's still just water made by a level 30 mage and jumped towards Mythandras who was standing outside the alleyway.
Sicias, however, got in between us-
And I showed my hand with Crescent Rose, getting a solid hit in the chest.
Sicias was thrown off balance by the hit, allowing me to hit him again to throw him to the ground, as while attacks weren't as effective, physics were still in play, Allowing me to renew my attack on Mythandras.
985 damage dealt: Sicias [1,515/2,500]
Mythandas could do nothing as I slashed straight into her and-
She turned into water?
"Hah, you look so confused…" She said as she continued to lose shape and just turn into regular water.
Taking advantage of my confusion, I was hit by more water attacks from behind.
30 damage taken [1,540/1,700]
Jumping forward and turning back, I observed the water I had just hit and-
Hydro Mimic
Hp: DEAD
…Ah, so it was a fake.
Looking at my surroundings, there are a few Mythandras surrounding us, it seems as if they were more prepared than I thought.
Sicias had gotten back up at this point, saying, "Ugh, I really need that third class right now."
One of the Mythandras next to him laughed while she healed him, "You're telling me!"
Clicking my tongue, I transformed back into my normal self and used one of my abilities to cause large vines to sprout from the ground.
The clones attempted to attack me except one, I mentally noted the location of that one as it's likely the real Mythandras.
I used ICLAL to block the attacks coming my way and simultaneously attack the clones, causing a large amount of them to turn to water.
"If this is the best you can do, you're weak!" I mocked them before transforming again and running towards the noted Mythandras, whose face seemed shocked that I found her.
I swung my weapon towards her, but she was agile enough to duck under it, kicking my body doing hardly anything, and rolling away back towards Sicias, who jumped towards me again.
Using the momentum from the previous swing, I redirected my scythe to hit Sicias who attempted to redirect the scythe away from him using one of his daggers-
And his dagger broke upon contact with the scythe, causing him to take a direct hit and get flung aside again.
985 damage dealt: Sicias [1,015/2,500]
God, I love this scythe.
Running towards Mythandras again, she stands her ground and casts a spell towards me, causing me to trip and fall.
…My foot had tripped on the water she created.
How devious.
I, however, will not be-
Mythandras suddenly threw something with extreme precision, and I ended up swallowing something inside my mouth.
Hah?
You have been poisoned! Due to the modifier 'Strong Stomach' the damage dealt to you will be lessened and last less longer.
Currently you are taking 10 damage every 5 seconds for 2 minutes!
10 damage taken [1,520/1,700]
"God, I hate dumb stupid modifiers like that!" Mythandras shouted out with frustration before throwing out another attack, forcing me to roll and dodge it.
Sicias, meanwhile, had jumped upon my back and started to stab me in the neck.
160 damage taken [1,360/1,700]
"You gnats!" I shouted out before transforming myself back to my default state, causing Sicias to fall down onto the ground.
I threw my arms down to attempt to hit Sicias with my scythe, but Sicias managed to successfully redirect the attack this time due to the lack of my sheer strength I used to have in my transformed state, allowing him to escape my grasp.
Mythandras was not idle yet, as she's yet to be hit with a single attack and had now just created more mimics to try and fool me again.
Using the vines leftover from earlier, I forced them to try and grasp the clones to ensure that they can't escape, which would prevent Mythandras from dodging any attacks due to being binded.
Then, I healed myself.
You are no longer poisoned.
You have healed for 150 Hp. [1,510/1,700]
Sicias and Mythandras gasped, with Mythandras shouting out, "Oh, of course he can do that!"
I threw myself into Sicias to prevent him from attempting to break the vines to free his friend.
I swing my scythe and Sicias-
Tried to move into me?
I try to back off and hit him with the blade that's coming back, but he taps me on the chest with his hand and-
[Gravity Negated]
I began floating, the shift causing me to miss my attack, and allowed Sicias to back off and end my attempted efforts in rooting Mythandras.
I tried to swing myself to attempt to gain some momentum, but all I do is make a fool out of myself.
How the hell do I navigate in zero gravity?
"Looking a bit lost there, Moroes," Sicias taunted while being healed by Mythandras, "Didn't expect us to be strong?"
I glared at them, "You seem awfully cocky for someone facing me with only half my strength."
Mythandras stuck her tongue out, charging up what's going to no doubt be a devastating water bolt if it lands, "Should've faced us with that other half, then."
I gather back my wits and manage to grab myself with one of my leftover vines to flung myself back to a wall, dodging Mythandras' water bolt.
I have barely any mana left… Tch, I'm going to have to just try and finish this with brute force or at the very least, keep them here until either the monster or my soldiers arrive.
I jumped off the building to gain speed and swung my scythe towards Sicias, him attempting to redirect it once more-
"Greedy children must be punished!"
"Ah, it seems as if our time is already over."
"Ah FUCK."
"SHIT!"
Suddenly, the building next to us was completely demolished, revealing The Consequence Of Greed and team RWBY, still attempting to fight off the creature.
Then, the monster gets in between Sicias and I, causing our attacks to end prematurely and forcing me to float back into a wall.
…I hesitate for a second. This isn't the consequence of my greed. So, it's likely to attack them, yes?
My thoughts are proven right as the monster jumps towards them, causing them to yell indecipherably, giving me great relief.
Although…
Consequence of Greed [4,360/47,000]
They have lowered its health by quite a lot. I'll likely have to aid it in order for it to win its fight.
"Lord Reincarnation! We have made it!" A voice shouted out from behind me.
Briefly looking behind me, I see that my soldiers I had asked for finally made it.
It looks like this battle will end shortly.
"Let us fulfill Destro's vision!" I shouted out, inspiring my soldiers and the monster, giving them both a boost of power before jumping back into the fray.
One of team RWBY's members shouted "Wait!" But I didn't pay them any attention before attacking.
While Sicias and Mythandras did attempt to fight back, reality was not so fortunate, having exhausted all options.
The consequence of greed got in my way too often, and had died, however, Sicias and Mythandras were not spared from my scythe.
Mythandras has been killed! 1 Player remains.
Sicias has been killed! 1 Player.
You have won your match! Rewards will be distributed shortly.
Someone shouted out their names, but all I felt was…
Joy.
Now, no one will stop me from fulfilling my own destiny…
Suddenly, the world turned gray.
A portal opened in front of me, revealing… Some sort of… I want to say Aztec-like creature?
Huitzli
Villain Developer of Fair and Balanced Incorporated.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to come here." I say absentmindedly.
Huitzli just laughed, "Hah! Who else did you expect to come give out the rewards? Well, aside from Skryb, but he's busy checking on the wall right now."
The wall? Wait, "Do you mean the wall he threw that domino into?"
Huitzli nodded, "Yeah, that wall. Well, regardless, it's something you can learn about later. Right now, however…" He started clapping, smiling, "Congratulations, my fellow druid! You've won! Although, rather boringly, if I might add. I mean, how are we going to milk you? It barely took you like… 2 weeks to get to this spot!"
I looked at him oddly, "Is that not a good thing?"
Huitzli shrugged, "Well… Ah, whatever. Either way, this world is your oyster now! Lemme just take off those restrictions in your system real quick…"
Restrictions lifted.
World Jump has been enabled. Origin world has been unlocked. FaBI Headquarters has been unlocked.
Quests to remove negative modifiers has been enabled.
You may now change your difficulty.
Class Limit removed.
Level cap removed.
"Ah, thank you." I said politely, "Although, I do remember something about…?" I gestured to the dead hero players.
Huitzli huffed, "I was getting to it." he said before power bloomed out of his hands.
Soon, Sicias and Mythandras were revived, both gasping for air.
Sicias was the first one to realize what happened, "Ah, damn it… gg?"
Mythandras, meanwhile, shouted out in frustration, "AHHHHHHHHHHHH! WE THREW!"
Huitzli laughed, "Well, they're your lackeys now. By the way, quick disclaimer, you're part of Fair and Balanced Incorporated now. But anything else you need before I go?"
Oh, already part of Fair and Balanced Incorporated? I was going to attempt to join anyway, but I suppose of course they were going to take the successful players into their fold.
I thought about anything I wanted to ask for a moment, but I didn't think of anything, so I said, "No, thank you for coming, however."
Huitzli just walked back to where he came, "It's my job, buddy."
And soon, the world was back to normal.
The hero players were swarmed by my soldiers until I informed them that they were on our side now. And team RWBY, similarly, were quite confused into what had just happened.
However, none of that currently matters, because I've become truly liberated from the shackles of the universe..
Omakes and stuff that I wanted to write.
Moroes
"So, why did you pick up… Let me count… 47 modifiers?" I asked Sicias over dinner.
Mythandras laughed, and Sicias looked somewhat embarrassed, "Uh, well… Sometimes, you just have to go all in."
I looked at him, "Did that work out for you?"
"Shut up."
Mythandras choked on her food.
Sicias looked over to his friend, "How are you choking? Isn't keeping stuff way down in your mouth something succubi do often?"
Mythandras managed to recover, shooting back, "Shut up, idiot."
I sighed, "What a friendship you two have. I am somewhat envious of you two acting so stupid."
Sicias looked at me oddly, while Mythandras just flexed her arm, saying, "Hero supremacy!"
Moroes internally laughed, because they were paying for their own dinners, knowing they can't afford it.
Re-Destro
How the hell does he even respond to this?
Seriously, how does he respond to 'hey, I'm one of your members that died in the LoV fight. And then I become a god through some odd multiversal god combat stuff and now I'm spreading your message.'
Because not even he could find a proper response to that.
"Ah, by the way," Moroes said boringly, "Shigaraki, the grand commander of the… Paranormal Liberation Army?"
He nodded and defended his position, "If you could see the freedom in his face when we fought in Deika, you would have agreed to make him the grand commander as well."
Moroes did not look completely convinced, but Re-Destro thought that was normal for someone who died to Shigaraki, "Then I shall bow to your experience."
Suddenly, Moroes snapped his finger, it glowing with green energy and-
Wait a second.
He wiggled his toes.
His feet have grown back?
"Unfortunately, I have a great deal of duties to handle in the other world, so I cannot stay here for long, so I will entrust the ideals of Destro to Shigaraki in this world. When he wakes, I hope to be able to see the ideals you seem to see in him. Until then, goodbye, Re-Destro."
And then… Moroes turned into some bird and leaves.
…How the hell is he supposed to explain this one?
AN:
So ends the tale of the Aura Liberation Gamer…
I am never going to do a long fic in RWBY again unless if I ever get around to actually watching the show.
I think the biggest issue for me this fic was kind of just the general speed that the world went. I mean, this guy literally became the leader of a revolutionary group and then TOOK DOWN THE GOVERNMENT in just a week. And then literally a week or two later, gg.
It just kind of bothers me.
And then the Players of this fic were kind of… eh. The concept was pretty cool in my opinion, though.
Well, Moroes in my opinion was kind of just generic. Sure, he had this cool thing about liberation and all of that, but the way he spoke was just generic evil. Although, maybe it's better that way then 'generic 21st century dude' which I think was how I was writing most of the other protagonists in my series.
Sicias, meanwhile, I literally came up with his name as I was writing it. And I still have no idea about his personality. I just came up with words for him to say and I went with it and decided to put a modifier with it.
Mythandras is the same way, literally just making shit up as I go. And on one hand, that means I can change whatever I want with the characters without feeling boxed into a certain path.
On the other hand, I had no direction for these characters, which sort of hurt me.
I REALLY need to get around to actually having a plan, especially when I make a deal about how not having one is really dooming me.
Well, I know I'm spewing out all this negativity about my own fic, but if you've read to this point, you must've liked something about it to not drop it.
Anyways, enjoy your day while I go and think about how the hell do I write the last chapter of Developer Commentary.
[This is technically a week late, but I seriously didn't want to write this chapter.]
[99 followers on , do you think I'll reach 100 or because of the fic ending, I'll never reach it?]
[Speaking of, why is this fic my most popular? I mean, of course there needs to be a 'most popular' but why this one? I don't get it.]
[Will there ever be another PvP gamer fic not written by me? I mean, there probably is, I just haven't found it yet.]
