Meta-Knowledge is Power: Chapter 4
A/N: I wasn't planning on writing Chapter 4 this early, but my internet is down and I'm bored out of my fucking mind. It's November 21st when I'm writing this Author's Note, so hopefully I can get it out soon.
Reading Reviews:
Infinitrix: Thank you SO MUCH for saying that, it means a lot, truly.
Giltlawyer9000: Don't worry! I'm not gonna drop this that easily, so this is gonna keep going.
The Man, The Myth, The Legend, Gellius G Gloop: Orange is 100% the best color. Piccolo wears it so well! I haven't seen enough One Piece to consider re-creating Gears, so I might not even try. You might wanna read the ending A/N if you REALLY wanna see that kind of stuff. I had to Google what the Rokugan was, so I don't think i'm qualified to write about it. Martial Arts are definitely going to be in this story, Haki? Maybe. I do have a plan about Haki with an "A between the K and I"

The blade of my sword sticks out the other side of the boss of the dungeon, the {Golden Skeleton}'s skull, causing it to crumble into dust. The drops automatically fill into my inventory, leaving me with a lot of excess bones, $200 CAD in loose change, and the Rare Boss Drop I'd been hunting for, the {Skeleton Crown}.
{Skeleton Crown} {Epic Headgear} {1/100 - 0%} (+2% Passive increase to Money Drops. Can be worn in the Accessory Slot, and still retain it's effect.)
[DUE TO OBTAINING A CERTAIN ITEM, A NEW FUNCTION WAS UNLOCKED.]
{Accessory Slots added to Equipment Screen.}
'Oh? This is even better than I thought. If this is an Epic Headgear, that means that with the Accessory Slots, I could possibly pull a Han Jihan and make most of my stuff focus on Mana Regen... Because from what I've seen, a LOT of skills that I'm thinking about require a TON of MP...'
I equip the {Skeleton Crown} to the [Headgear] Slot. I feel the Golden Crown resting upon my head, It's Amber Core resting in the center, letting the miniscule light from the dungeon make it slightly glow. I pull up a Hand Mirror to see how it looks on me, and decide that it's a bit tacky to wear outside of dungeons, so I put it back into my inventory for Safe Keeping. To be honest, It's still jarring to see my skin having a deep green tint, and it does make people glance over, but I DID make this body, so I'm going to need to live with the consequences. Surprisingly enough, so far people haven't assumed I'm a Faunus, so at least nobody's being racist towards me.
My system does it's calculations for the Dungeon EXP, and alerts me that I've reached level 35, as the world fades into a clearing near my Cabin. I pull up my status, and realize that I have 11 levels worth of unclaimed stat points left.

I Meditate until my HP, MP, and AP return to the maximum, and decide to dump enough into WIS to get me a reward skill. I'd also decided to not dump anything into LCK until I can unlock my LCK stat from my last life. It's not as good as the other skills at the moment, but I think it'll be a major help later.

I check out the skill I'd gotten from getting WIS to 100, and learn some interesting things.
{Runic Inscribing} {WIS REWARD SKILL} {Active} [1/100 - 0%] Imbue Weapons with Runic Stones to give them Special Abilities and Special Effects via Reforging. [Requires {Enchanting} Level 100 and {Magic Forging} Level 50 to use.]
[DUE TO GAINING A NEW ABILITY, A NEW SKILL WAS CREATED.]
[DUE TO GAINING A NEW ABILITY, A NEW SKILL WAS CREATED.]
{Enchanting} {MINECRAFT} {Active} [1/100 - 0%] Mystic Mumbo-Jumbo Galore! Allows the user to Access the Enchanting Page in the Status Menu.
{Magic Forging} {Active} [1/100 - 0%] When the Dwarf picks the Warlock Route. Allows the user to Use MP to forge weapons, molding the materials like clay. [Requires {Forging} Level 100 to use.]
[DUE TO GAINING A NEW ABILITY, A NEW SKILL WAS CREATED.]
{Forging} {Active} [1/100 - 0%] Dwarven-Approved Skill! Allows you to create your own weapons using the materials you have on hand.
'That's a lot of free skills just for improving my stats...' It makes me a little frustrated about the requirements, but it's kinda fair if you think about it. The description of {Runic Inscribing} makes me think of my time playing Hypixel Skyblock, and working with Reforge Stones...
[NOTICE! Due to learning about a feature in the game due to a wild guess, +1 WIS and +1 LCK.]
Huh. I guess that means Runic Monsters will be appearing sooner or later. Anyways, I'm almost able to wield the {Yamato}, so it'd be best if I hold off putting any points into LCK until then.
{Sword Mastery} {Passive} {94/100 - 47%} (Engarde! Shows how good you are with a Sword. +47% Damage increase while using swords.
Something else I'd found out about skills that can evolve, which is pretty interesting to me. By my estimation, once Sword Mastery and a few other Skills involving Blades are maxed out, It'll become {Blade Mastery}. The thing that some people might think, is '"Oh no! if you have Blade Mastery instead of Sword Mastery, You won't be able to use the Yamato!"', and that's where they're wrong. If I have the {Yamato}, and I have the Evolved version of {Sword Mastery}, The evolved version counts as all of it's previous forms, if an item has prerequisites.
I run my hands through my soft black hair, and let out an exhale, Deciding now is the time to do something I've been putting off, I take a block of {Magic Marble}, and start imbuing MP into it.
{Magic Marble} {Rare Material} A block of Marble imbued with Mana. Can be molded like Clay when using MP.
As I continue Imbuing MP into the Marble, a new notification pops up, and I read it over.
[DUE TO A SPECIFIC ACTION, A NEW SKILL WAS CREATED.]
{Sculpting} {Active} [1/100 - 0%] Why not make EVERYTHING you touch your "Magnum Opus"? Increases the quality of Arts and Crafts involving Minerals. +1% Quality Increase to sculpture once finished.
I quickly reach into my inventory and grab a small, Black and White orb. The colors are spiraling in on each other, as the orb radiates heat on the white side, and feels cold to the touch on the Black side.
{Masterful Orb} {Legendary Item} Temporarily makes a Skill MAX level for 60 minutes.
I'd gotten this orb from a Rare encounter Mini-Boss, and decided that this was the perfect time to use it.
[{Masterful Orb} - {Sculpting}]
{Sculpting} {Active} [MAX] Why not make EVERYTHING you touch your "Magnum Opus"? Increases the quality of Arts and Crafts involving Minerals. +100% Quality Increase to sculpture once finished.
Once the orb activates, my MP pulses through the {Magic Marble}, as the block slowly yet rapidly shifts, ripples, shrinks, grows, and hardens. Once it stops, I'm left with a small, Laptop-sized Statue of a Serpentine Dragon, long patterned whiskers, an Arrow-Like head, and markings all over it's body.
From the very beginning, I'd already decided that MY Dragon was going to be Special. While the Dragon Balls we all know and love summoned Shenron? Mine summoned a Dragon that looked exactly like Mega Rayquaza. However, because I'm genuinely bad at coming up with creative names, I'd named the Dragon after who it was based on. "Rayquaza".
I use my {Dragon Ball Creation} Skill to start to create the Dragon Balls. It took all 25,000 MP to create ONE, and it took about 4 minutes for my MP to reach that number again. After almost half an hour of Meditating and using my MP, I'd finally created my very own set of dragon balls. All 7 Dragon Balls had Lime-Green Stars in the middle, with an Amber-Orange/Yellow color on the outside, like all Dragon Balls. I hold up the Lime Five-Star Dragon Ball, and imbue my energy into it, causing my system to give me a few new updates.
{Lime-Star Dragon Balls} {Mythical Artifact} The Lime-Star Dragon Balls were made by the Saiyan-Namekian Hybrid, Zero Nigiro. Wishing Upon these orbs will summon "Lord Rayquaza", who will grant any one wish.
[DUE TO A SPECIFIC ACTION, A SKILL HAS BEEN CREATED.]
[DUE TO A SPECIFIC ACTION, A TITLE HAS BEEN GIVEN.]
[DUE TO A SPECIFIC ACTION, A PERK HAS BEEN GIVEN.]
{Draconoid Fist} {Active} [1/100 - 0%] a Variation of the Dragon Fist Technique. By connecting your soul to the Dragon Balls, you can use the energy of it's Avatar to deal a devistating blow. [Cost 10,000 MP, unless the Dragon Balls are nearby.]
{Mystical Artisan} {Legendary Title} [MAX] Because you've made reality-bending creations, You always know the location of your creations.
{Divine Spark} {Legendary Perk} [1/100 - 0%] Grants the user a spark of Divinity. [Requires Level 150 to use. Requires {Saiyan} Race to use {Super Saiyan God}.]
Reading through these, I realize that the Skill could become a Signature Attack, and the other two would circumvent two issues I'd been worrying about. {Mystical Artisan} would make it so I wouldn't need a Dragon Radar, or nee to wait a year for the Dragon Balls to refresh before they can be found again. and {Divine Spark} speaks for itself. It basically tells me what the requirements for Super Saiyan God is. I activate the {Skill Creation Help Add-On} to find out what the requirements for all Super Saiyan Transformations are.
(A/N: The Result of {Skill Creation Help Add-On} will be put under the Ending Author's Note, due to the long list.)
After Reading the ENTIRE LIST, I had quite mixed feelings about it. First of all, I'm getting close to unlocking the first Super Saiyan. The Highest Form I can mentally handle reaching for is Super Saiyan God. The other transformations are ones that I eventually COULD achieve, but I have no real reason to aim for it now. I'm going to aim for Super Saiyan God, and go from there.
I turn back to the Dragon Statue, and use {Dragon Ball: Avatar Creation}, turning the statue into the Avatar Catalyst for the Dragon Balls. After using this skill, I clear my throat, and say the Key Words.
"Lord Rayquaza! Appear Before me, and Grant my Wish! Beyond Evolution! Mega Evolve!" I shout Infront of the Dragon Balls, and throwing my hands in the air, making a cheesy pose.
The Sky darkens, as A Yellow and Lime Figure flows out of the Seven Dragon Balls, before revealing Rayquaza in it's full Glory. Rayquaza tilts it's head downwards in it's Mega Form, before speaking in a reverberating tone.
"PEACE. YOU NEED NOT USE MY TITLE, FOR YOU HAVE GIVEN ME LIFE. STATE YOUR WISH, AND IT SHALL BE DONE WITHIN MY POWER." Booms Rayquaza.
I think hard about the upcoming threats, and remember one threat that would be really annoying to deal with.
"Lor- I mean, Rayquaza! I wish for the power to dispel any illusions!" I yell to him, as he takes a pause to see if the wish is within his power.
"I AM ABLE TO GRANT YOU THIS WISH." Rayquaza nods, as they strike my head with a beam of light.
[DUE TO A WISH, A SKILL HAS BEEN CREATED.]
{Illusion Break} {Active} [1/100 - 0%] Now you see me, now you... still do? Grants the ability to shatter any kind of Illusion.
"YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED. FAREWELL." Rayquaza Fades back into the Seven Lime-Star Dragon Balls, and they zoom across the sky, scattering across the globe.
I watch as the Dragon Balls fade into the distance, the trees blocking most of my sight.
[Ruby Rose POV]
"I hope there's still some of those leftover cookies..." I say out loud as I'm walking back home, after visiting Mom's grave. Suddenly, I trip and fall, as my boot gets caught on something. I pick myself up, dust off the dirt from my COMBAT SKIRT (see: not a dress), and take a look at what I'd tripped over. An Amber-colored sphere had made a small crater in the path, and ended up being what caused me to trip. I pick it up, and notice that Not only is it Warm to the Touch, but the color is a bit faded, and there are four, Minty-Lime colored stars inside this... Ball? Orb? I'm not sure.
"Wow... This could be my Good Luck Charm!" With a big smile on my face, I put the sphere inside my bag, and continue walking home.
[Ozpin POV]
I was drinking from my tea, just about to read over the last student transcript for a "Mr. Jaune Arc", when I felt a surge of Magical Energy come from a forest near the Grimmlands. I stand up, and In a split second, an amber orb shoots through my window, through my desk, and burns the paperwork that I was going to work on, along with Mr. Arc's paperwork. I pick up the amber orb that houses , look at my desk, and decide that this must be a sign to do this another time. I press a button on a tablet to Approve Mr. Arc, due to his transcript... catching fire. I pour my tea on the fire, putting it out, and going for a refill.
Hm. I hope It doesn't go to anyone strong and possessive... that might be a pain to deal with. Anyways, I'm gonna make the most out of the... 25 minutes I have left with the Max Level Sculpting. I've got some character designs that I need done for an upcoming Anime...
A/N: Scene! I don't really have many things to say in this A/N, so I'll make this quick. First of all, I'm planning on Taking OC's soon, so send me a Message on Discord, with a character sheet of your OC, and I'll see if it's good or not. Also, Don't Forget to Review, as it truly does mean a LOT to me. see you in Chapter 5!
