Hey everyone I got no excuse for taking a month to not post nothing just got very lazy and began playing tons of other games, like lethal company. I also had a writers block. Either way I hope you all enjoy. Don't own nothing except this story im writing. Please leave comments for any suggestion you may have, I may or may not add them.

"Asha ottava. Wrusha ittem lesse gamish?"
"He, too, is young. And he, too, can learn... hopefully. But if they don't, then you can take care of them."
A dark chuckle could be heard, "Asha ottava- mreshe ulla kerresi vros ottava!"

"I don't think you can be put onto the system, Daniel. I'm trying to put you on the board, but it won't register you."
'I can do without it.'
"Are you sure? I don't want to kill you by accident."
'I'll be fine.' I assured her.
Still looking unsure, she relented. "Alright, if you say so. Just lemme add me in here, and we'll start." So, after fiddling with the machine for a bit, she finished. "Alright, done! So before we fight, quick rules. No magic, yes I know you have it, Ozpin told me. Next, no dirty tricks, fair play only, and lastly, try not to lose." she said, finishing with a smile that looked eager for a fight.
"Are you ready, Daniel?" Asked Amber. I took out my scythe and readied it. "Alright, don't hold back." And so the spar began.
The first to strike was me launching my scythe at her, which she easily dodged. She rushed me with her staff, but without knowing, I instantly Pulled my scythe back, causing it to hit her back and hit the floor. Also, a buzzer rang as well.

... Crap... While I'm here, let's quickly check up on Amber. Turning to face Amber, I see she is still lying face down on the floor. I know she ain't dead 'cause she's still breathing. Walking up to her, I check her health.
Amber
|1000|:570:
Jesus, when did she lose AP!
She's currently knockout and dying. I May suggest that you start healing her right now.
WHAT! Not wasting time, I started using my AP heal to heal Ambers AP. How is she dying?!
Your skill [Echoed] isn't an instant damage; it's damage over time. And if it exceeds the current victim's health, they'll get knocked out and slowly die.
WHAT! THAT WASN'T ON THE ITEMS DESCRIPTION!
Yeah, I know, which is why I'm updating its description now and informing you.
Just like the game said, when healing Amber AP, I saw her health slowly going down, but due to my high level of healing mastery, I was able to out-heal the damage. Once I knew she wasn't taking any more damage, I stopped.
Amber
|1000|:2694:
Releasing a sigh of relief, I sat down and waited for Amber to wake up.
(Amber)
When Amber started to stir, she saw the arena ceiling where students dueled or practiced fighting. Confused, she turned her head to see Daniel sitting in a fetal position. His hand wrapped around his legs, and his black hole head snuggled between them. Making an effort to remember, she realized what had happened. 'I got hit by something behind before getting knocked onto the floor.' she thought, 'Then... then, right! Then I got hit again and blacked out.' Grimacing at that, she scolded herself for getting rusty. Getting up, she winced a bit as her back stung like hell. 'God, It feels like I got cut on my back multiple times.' Making a grunt of pain, this seemed to get Daniel to look up and focus on her.
What surprised her was Daniel rushing over to her and asking if she was okay. He seemed panicked. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why are you fussing over me like I almost died? You only landed a good strike and knocked me out, right." Smiling at Daniel. But seeing as he stiffened, her smile quickly disappeared. "Right?" Now more worridly.
'I didn't know my strength, and I nearly ended up killing you. You blacking out was an effect that happened when I hit people with my scythe. You would've died if I didn't rush to heal you.' He wrote. Amber didn't know how to feel; yes, she was scared about nearly dying. But she's fine and doesn't know how to feel (must be the shock). 'I'm so sorry.' Finally, she knew how to respond.
(Somewhere)
Some students staying over for the summer heard a loud explosion where the arena was. Some shrugged it off, thinking it was another student messing with volatile dust. While others looked worried, overall, it got the attention of Professor Goodwitch. Who was already in a bad mood and rushing to the arena.
(Daniel)
*KABOOM*

After that explosion, I flew through the wall and onto the other side. Landing on the grass outside, I stay there, contemplating what happens.
"There now where even!" said Amber, appearing through the crack on the wall. With a proud smile on her face, "But seriously though I'm pissed. You nearly killed me, and right now, my back is stinging as if I just got clawed by a Beowulf multiple times. And it's starting to annoy the hell out of me already." Releasing a sigh, she continues. "Look, I know it was an accident. But please make sure you hold back, and also, please heal me fully cause this pain is really pissing me off more."
With a thumbs up, I get off the floor and fully heal her Arua. Once fully healed, Amber released a sigh of relief.

"I think we should end things here for now." Turning to where the hole was in the wall, she also said, "And probably get out of here before Glynda finds out about the damage."
"Too late." Said a voice, anger clearly heard in its tone. Both Amber and I sheepishly turned to see Glynda glaring harshly at us. "Amber, do you know how much damage your magic could've done!"
"Sorry, Gly-"
"Hush it. I don't wanna hear it." Quickly shutting Amber up and causing her to yelp. "And you."
Oh, God, my PTSD from school is all coming back to me.
"I don't know what type of damage you could've done. But with what happened to Winter back at that village, it could have been way worse. I don't know how to punish you properly If I can!? But for Amber." Said person flinched at having her name called. "You're no longer a child and, most importantly, a Maiden. I shouldn't have to treat you like a child." Releasing a sigh from all the stress she's been experiencing, she continued. "For now, you two shall fix the wall, do you hear me."
"Yes, Glynda."
"Daniel?" Both Glynda and Amber faced me at the same time.
Damn my ADHD brain and trying to be funny for the sake of self-entertainment. Grabbing an item from the tutorial world, I got the Neonatal Levolam.
[Neonatal Levolam]
Can be used to return to the most recently created Surrogate, reusable.
'Fresh and raw, this minuscule amount of newly formed Levolam belongs to the Child. It seeks out the shattered Levolam of its parent.'
Throwing the Neonatal Levolam up, it floats right on top of my vortex. Putting my hand near my head, my body gets absorbed, and soon, my head disappears.
(Glynda)
Glynda could feel her eye twitch as she saw Daniel disappear in front of her. She would've let out a yell of frustration but kept herself together. She didn't need to cause a scene and add more stress to herself. Things have been very busy since she got the news of Daniel and his disappearance. Even more so once she realized she was raising her voice against a powerful being. She literally froze, realizing what she just said to Daniel. But it didn't matter, as said, being only teleported away to avoid responsibility. Sighing again, she turned to Amber to tell her where she could get the stuff to repair the wall, only to flinch back by what she saw. Amber's face was dark, but she was clearly angry as her maiden powers activated.
"He's dead." Said, Amber. Glynda only gulped.
(Daniel)
Alright, I got my tools and time to repair a wall.
Wait, where did you even get those?
From the Game shop.
Of course, you did. You really should learn to save up.
Yeah, I should. Either way, it's time to repair the wall. I continued to walk over to the arena where Amber threw me through. Man, what a tongue twister. Either way, I passed a few students who were surprised by me but didn't bother me, thankfully. Eventually, I reached the wall and began repairing it. Speaking of repairing, where is Amber?
(30 minutes later)
*KABOOM*
*CRASH*

|54|
WHY!? I just finished repairing the wall!
"That's what you get for leaving me, you bastard!" Yelled Amber.
I only got up and pointed to the wall that got destroyed again.
"Wait, you repaired it?" I only nodded furiously. "Oh... Sorry." She said sheepishly. But I didn't care about a sorry. That was some damn living stone, and it ain't easy to make. So I dropped-kicked her.
That ain't something you hear someone say so casually every day, but alright.
"Oof." As Amber was kicked down. "Yeah, I wasn't thinking there, sorry."
[Reputation with Amber has increased by 10 for not abandoning her to repair the wall!]
[Ambers reputation] (35/100)
"AMBER!" Yelled out a familiar voice. "What did I just say about using your powers like that!"
"Ah! Quick, hide me!" Amber then tried to hide behind me. But I only picked her up and held her in front of me. She only hung there in defeat as I held her out.
"I swear, young lady, if you keep using your power for small cases like Daniel-" HEY! "I swear you'll know what true boredom is here."
Amber would look visibly shaken from that threat. "Uh... Daniel, c-could you please let me down now." I was about to do that until Glynda spoke up again.
"No, hold her there, Daniel. I'm not done with her yet!" So, for the next 5 minutes, Amber continued to get an earful from Glynda while I still held her like a toddler. In honest truth, it was a bit funny.
[Reputation with Glynda has increased by 10 for holding onto Amber!]
[Reputation with Glynda has increased by 5 for fixing the wall before it got destroyed again.]
[Glyndas reputation] (30/100)
"Do you understand, young lady?"
*Sniff* "Yes, Glynda." Said the pouting Amber. What are you, a child? "Did you have to hold onto me for that whole spiel?" She said, now looking over at me.
"Yes, he did."
"Hmph."
"You aren't a child, Amber! Quit acting like one!"
"Okay, okay. I'm just still kinda mad from earlier. But please let me down now, Daniel. Your stone hands are starting to pierce my ribs, and it hurts." I did that and placed her down. "Well, I guess we have a wall to fix." Nope! I fixed it. You destroyed it again! You're doing it by yourself now! So I grabbed my tools and shoved them toward her before I stomped off.
"Uh-a-wh-what! Glynda!" looking over at her pleadingly, hoping to bring me back.
"Well, he did fix it before you came back here. And you did destroy it again." Then Glynda would walk off with a smile on her face. Amber would only slump in defeat.
(At Ozpins office)
"So that's where you've been for the past few weeks? In an underwater cave where you decided to make your base." Ozpin said, a bit amused by my choice of a base.
'Ye.'
"Well, I guess it is very secure from any unwanted guests. Water pressure is a friend to no one. Maybe, except for you and some deep-sea fish and Grimm."
'Did the others manage to get away?'
"Hm? Do you mean the people who were supposed to escort you to Atlas?" I nod. "Then yes, they did. For some reason, the Grimm were mostly after you. It must be the influence of the Queen."
Great, I was hoping for more time until Salem got involved with me. But nope, she wants my ass already. And I did have a big ass.
TMI.
You're welcome.
Bitch!
"It may be dangerous for us to escort via bullhead. And you said you are unaffected by water pressure, right." I nod. "Then you gonna have to walk over to Atlas underwater then. I don't wanna risk so many people just to get you to a location faster." Yeah, that's understandable. Still sucks, though.
Deserved.
Chinga tu madre. 'I understand; it might take me a month to get there, though.'
"That's understandable. But once you get to the life crystal-"
'It's called Levolam.' I interrupted by shoving the notebook in front of him.
"What?"
'The crystal is called Levolam. That's its true name.'
"Oh, well, alright. Oh, and by the way, how was your spar with Amber? I heard from Glynda that she did go overboard with her magic." He said, chuckling at the last part.
If I could, I would be wincing but still told the truth. 'I nearly killed Amber by accident. I didn't know my own strength.'
[-5 Reputation with Ozpin for nearly killing Amber!]
"You WHAT!" he shouted. I held my hand out in a way, saying. 'Cálmate wey, Cálmate.'
'It was an accident, and I healed her from nearly taking the fatal amount of damage.'
Ozpin would sigh while rubbing his face. "Alright, but Daniel. Please try not to kill one of our maidens." He said, pleadingly looking at me to not do something dumb. Jokes on him: I am dumb.
That's not something to be proud of.
Never said I was.
Sure sounded like it.
Ugly.
:(
Either way, enough joking around with myself. It's time to start walking under the ocean.
(Five days later)
I think I'm lost.
You think!
Why don't I even have my map?
Because you still haven't activated any beacons!
Oh right.

Dammit!
(Another day later)
The faunus here like me, surprisingly. So you are wondering what I did to make them like me. Well, I gave them guns. Good ones. Plus, I healed their sick and cured so-called impossible diseases (not aids, though... yet.) And their kids like me, so that's a plus. Sucks that I can't taste any food they are serving me, though.
(Reputation with Menagerie citizens has increased by 55)

... Sure.
-10 SC
Once you reach maximum Reputation with a whole continent, it will become permanently locked.
Wait really. What happens if I do something horrible.
PER. MAN. EN. TLY.
Well, that's broken.
Menagerie is a small continent filled with faunus that has been abused by other people for a long time. So that is why you gained a huge boost in their affection.
Ah, makes sense, makes sense. Oh, hey, a kid is trying to climb me. A small Faunus child with dear antlers. But once I saw him reaching for my head, I instantly grabbed and placed him down. He then began to pout. 'My head is very dangerous; it's like a whirlpool. Once you get stuck in it, you can't escape it.' That seemed to do the trick as the child turned pale. But I patted his head.
(2 weeks later)
I love kids.
That will never sound right.
Oh, what? Just cause I'm a man, I can't say I like kids without sounding like a pedophile!
Sadly.
:(
Either way, the children here really enjoy me. I enjoyed them as well.
Will-
Don't you bloody dare!
...
Thank you! Either way, they enjoyed Yogi and Cláudio. More so, Yogi. His fur Is just so fluffy. I also learned I get along incredibly well with bear Faunus types. I thought the perk worked with animals only, but I guess Fuanus counts, too. I also helped fix their broken communications tower. Oh yeah, they also have a Surrogate here. So I imprinted it and teleported from my base to here. Of course, when I first cracked it, they all got frightened by me. But soon, Grimm attacks became more scarce because of my imprinting it. Actually, why is that?
It's basically like a safe area; it clears the area to make it safer. But it has a range. I guess the range expands all of Kuo Kana.
But not farther.
Yep.
Well, good to know.

So, I managed to talk to Sieanna. She liked me a lot, mostly due to me helping the menagerie a lot, like giving them weapons, healing their sick, regrowing prominent soldiers' limbs, etc. Also, this perk will be very useful in hopefully persuading the Faunus to not listen to Cinder.
(Quick flashback with the talk)
Two people slowly escorted me to meet the white fang leader, Sieanna. The two escorting me were Ilia and a random dude named Ethan. He was chill, and I liked him. But I didn't notice Ilia smiling a bit at me and stealing glances at me. Taking out my notebook, I wrote. 'Have something to say?'
Ilia blushed and turned into another color but smiled before saying, "Yeah, I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for us. You are an alien- well, I think you're an alien." Quickly shaking her head, she continued, "But you've still done more for us in a few weeks than any other kingdom has. For that, I thank you."
"yeah, man! Especially with all the weapons you've provided us to protect ourselves from the increase of Grimm. And Healing our sick. I can never thank you enough for healing my little brother." Did I forget to mention that Ethan sounds like a jock?
Eventually, they continued to say their praises and gratitude, and I only said it was fine. I might make Faunus learn Spanish, though. Why? Hearing my language makes me feel at home.
Understandable.
Thank you. Eventually, I finally entered the giant room where Sienna was sitting. Looks like a goddamn throne room more like. Either way, while approaching, Sienna smiles as I get closer. And like with Ethan and Illia, she thanks me for all I have done for her and her kind.
"Now, can we do anything for you, Daniel?"
Hm... I actually do. Taking my notebook out, I began writing what I wanted. 'I tend to feel homesick. Will you be willing to adopt a few customs from my home and language? I won't force this, of course.'
"Hm? And what customs and language will this be?" Clearly interested in what I wanted to do. Quickly telling her I'd demonstrate what I wanted, I brought Ilia and Ethan into two separate rooms. Soon, they emerged; Ilia was dressed in a beautiful multi-colored dress with flowers and an embroidered skull. She also has face painting, making her look like a skeleton. Ethan also had a painting making him look like a skeleton, but he was wearing a mariachi getup instead.
Sienna only raised an eyebrow but did look impressed. "And what are these supposed to do or mean, Daniel. What was this tradition?"
'It is day of the dead.' I then began to explain to Sienna how the Day of the Dead worked and its history in my world. As well as how we honored the dead of past loved ones. All in all, Sienna was very willing to integrate this into faunus culture. Which made me happy, then for the language. I explained the language to Sienna, and she said that some would be willing to learn the language, but not all. But that's all that mattered as long as they tried.
"Hey, Daniel." Hearing someone whisper my name, I turned and saw Ilia. "Is it ok if I keep the dress?" I only nodded aggressively, which made Ilia smile.
(Now)
So yeah, I've been very cheery ever since.
[WARNING!] The Echoed Giant of Eyes has been discovered by the main cast! (Time limit till main casts death) [59:56]
OH CRAP!
(Ruby 3rd person POV 3 days before the event)
"-And a slap on the wrist." the woman slapped her riding crop near her hand, causing her to yelp in surprise. "But there is someone here who would like to meet you."
Soon a ma- yeah, you know what, you know who enters. Ozpins soon enters. "Ruby rose." said the man while holding a plate of cookies. "You have silver eyes." He said, getting close to view her eyes.
Ruby only fidgets under his gaze but quickly moves back. "So, where did you learn to do this?" He pointed over to where Glynda was holding a pad with a video of Ruby fighting these unknown creatures that appeared. The creatures look made of a mass of translucent tar constantly shimmering. Unlike the Grimm, they had no bony features; some looked humanoid, If deformed. Some are just an amalgamation of hands or legs on a large chunk of mass. Either way, they were causing trouble near The store she was in, and she sprang into action. She only got scratched a few times, but one did scare her a bit since it pierced her aura. But she braved it for the old man.
"Si-signal Academy." But soon, the conversation continued with how she learned to fight, who taught her, inviting her to Beacon, yadda, yadda... Ey might as well show how the fight went.
(A few hours before)
Ruby, with her headphones on, still heard a glass window breaking. Taking them off, she soon heard an old man scream and another weird gargle of... something. But hearing the man scream, Ruby Quickly checked to see what was happening. Quickly rounding the corner of the bookshelf, she saw three enemies. One was hunched over and deformed from the head, making a U, but it was the smallest of them. The other was on all fours, trying to climb over the counter and reach the old man. This one looked like a giant pointed rock with four deformed limbs trying to walk. The last one was a vase with arms and legs. But what caught her attention more was their form. They looked to be made of a translucent black material, constantly shimmering their entire form. The old man soon noticed her and called for her help. Shaking out of her bewilderment, Ruby didn't hesitate to take out her scythe and swung at the creatures.
The smaller creature was thrown out of the store, with Ruby following it outside. While also baiting the other two out. She'd also noticed that the vase-looking creature had taken out a weapon. 'It can use weapons!' Yelled Ruby in her mind as she inspected the creature's weapon. The weapon looked to be a cross-blade glaive. Once they were all outside, she swung again. Her blade crossed with the vase in front of the biggest of them she was aiming for. She gritted her teeth as she tried to push back against this creature's strength, but turned into a rose petal and flew behind it, hitting it from behind while also hitting the giant rocklike creature. She then switched her scythe into its sniper form and began shooting. The rock creature mostly tanked it as it ran after her. Soon, it threw itself at her, which she easily dodged. But as quickly as she did that, something jumped behind her and grabbed her. She yelped as it did and began thrashing around, trying to get it off. It tried scratching her face but failed due to her aura. She then felt something hit her, throwing her and the creature on her back onto the floor.
Thinking quickly, she turned into roses and flew back onto her feet. She swung her scythe many times, hitting all three of them multiple times, but they didn't seem to want to die. Ruby then saw the vase creature jump towards her and swing its glaive at her, hitting her and causing her to yelp in pain. But Ruby quickly righted herself and began shooting at the vase, which blocked a few of her bullets with its blade. Seeing the smaller creature trying to jump her again, she swung her scythe at it before throwing it at the vase, causing them both to fly and hit the store walls. The giant rocklike creature let out a screech and began hopping towards Ruby. Ruby quickly reloaded into her gravity dust before launching herself up with it. Once in the air, she shot the bullet again, launching her quickly and successfully cutting the giant rock creature in half, causing it to disappear into smoke.
Smiling, Ruby barely saw the vase creature swing at her. She dodged just barely. Because of that, she got cut on her cheek. Gasping, she quickly retreated a bit back. Putting a hand on where she was cut, she saw blood. 'Blood! But how!? My aura hasn't shattered yet!?' Quickly snapping out of her panic to doge another wing and pounce from both creatures, she continued to fight back. Shooting the gravity dust bullet, she launched herself forward, successfully cutting the more deformed of the creatures and killing it. Now, all that was left was the hardest one. The vase creature stood there at the ready with its glaive. Ruby, not wanting to make this fight lose any longer, shot herself forward again but was blocked. Struggling against the creature's strength, she was surprised when the creature was covered in a purple aura and pulled away. Ruby then saw it being slammed against the buildings and floor repeatedly. Soon, a woman landed in front of her. She quickly looked and saw it was a blonde woman with a black skirt, white blouse, and cape. Looking before the woman, she saw the vase creature struggling to get up, using its weapon as support. Still, eventually, it collapsed and disappeared into smoke.
Soon, the woman turned around to face her. "Wow, are you a huntsman! Can I have your autograph!?" Said Ruby in delight.
And that's how it went.
(1 day later.)
Ruby was now on a ship to Beacon Academy. For a bit, Ruby was cringing at her sister doting over her being accepted into Beacon early. But Ruby felt shy and did not want others to believe she was special for skipping two years. But her sister still continued to support and dot on her. Which only helped embarrass her more. But soon, everyone's attention on the ship went onto the hologram of last night's news.
"Onto you, Lisa." Said a news reporter man off-screen.
"Thank you, Syril. Yesterday, there was a large increase in unknown creatures. These creatures range from-" Showing images of different types of creatures of different statures and shapes "To these." The next screen only showed more. Still, Ruby did recognize a few of them she fought yesterday night. "Authorities recommend that you do not engage these creatures as they are highly aggressive. Each certain one is dangerous with various levels of toughness." Soon, the broadcast was cut off, and the huntress that helped her yesterday appeared.
Ruby can't help but feel worried. These creatures are new, and she has never seen them before. Not only that, one of them managed to cut her cheek, which made her put on a bandage on it. It only made her slightly angry because her older sister instantly became protective of what happened to her.
"So those were the things you fought yesterday, Rubes?" asked Yang, staring back incredulously at her.
Sighing, Ruby spoke. "Yes, Yang, those were the creatures I fought yesterday."
"B-but they don't look that strong."
"Well, two of them were easy. It's just the one with a weapon that gave me trouble." She admitted.
"Which one?" Yang pulled out her phone to try and see which creature hurt her sister so she could hunt the rest of its kind for hurting her baby sister. Even if it was just a small cut.
"The one that looks like a vase." Once Yang pulled the image that looked like a vase, she instantly began laughing.
"Really, this one." She said between breaths while showing Ruby the image of the vase creature.
Grubbling angrily, Ruby nearly yelled, "Well, it caught me by surprise, and not only that, its weapon can price arua!" That instantly made everyone on the ship go silent.
"It can what!?" Said Yang, taken aback at what she had heard. Ruby also shrinks a bit at all the attention she is getting from other people and them hearing that one of the creatures can pierce aura.
"I-it can pierce aura." She said more softly. Her sister soon began to look more worried about this threat, as did the other people on the ship. And everyone can all agree.
THINGS ARE CHANGING.
(Later)
Once they landed, Ruby got into trouble with a girl in a white dress by accidentally blowing up, and she also made a friend with a blonde. Once in the auditorium, she heard the quick speech from Ozpin, and the day went by fast.
The next day, she was on the platforms, ready to launch. But before she did, the headmaster of Beacon and his assistant were giving out the rules. Once done, he was about to launch them before stopping and saying one last thing.
"Students, if you encounter any of these new creatures recently appearing. Please use caution, some have been able to show some... concerning abilities." Everyone felt a bit uneasy by that, more so with Ruby as she remembers the fight a few days ago. Soon, people started being launched into the forest, and she was launched, too.
(Later)
Ruby lay on the floor as her white-dress teammate tried to get her up, and a giant with glowing red eyeballs on its back was attacking them. It looked like it was made of the same stuff as the creatures she fought a few days ago. But one thing everyone instantly noticed was that they couldn't hurt this one. She then heard a yell of pain as she saw her sister get thrown onto a tree, causing the tree to break down. Ruby could also swear she saw her aura break, too. The few students here tried to run but soon found out the giant creature was preventing them.
Ruby was scared. Her white teammate Weiss was scared. Her sister might be dead, and she might join her. All of them will. Ruby soon felt tears running down her face as she slowly began to lose consciousness again.
"Dammit, Ruby, don't pass out again." Said her teammate. But she couldn't do anything as soon as darkness took her.
