Due to data overload, (Y/n).exe has temporarily shut down for maintenance
Wtf.exe has been booted on
Now Initializing Panic.exe
Calculation complete. Algorithm for sanity check in perfect condition
Result: This is reality, bitch
"Oh hell no"
Usually, I would have just discarded absurd notifications like this as no more than a dream I had, as was the case of Summer turning Raven into a fellow vampire servant. That had got to be a dream, that chance of it happening so soon is too low
But, in this case, the sanity check and the algorithm's result show that I am not dreaming at all
Which mean this is a hallucination. Hehe, it must be a hallucination. I'm still conscious, so that doesn't count as a dream
Haha, I'm just hallucinating. I'm just high from doing drugs, that's all. And if that's the case, that also means the fact that I was reincarnated to this world is also just an overload of dopamine in my brain as the reaction to injecting drugs into my body along with my friends back home
Yes that's right. Haha, I'm so stupid to think this was real in the first place. Hahaha...
HahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
SLAP
Get it the fuck together, you bitch! This is reality, no use hiding from it anymore.
I am here, I am conscious about it, and I know it's not true
I mean, I don't even have any friends to do drugs with in the first place!
You're right, me. Now that you said it, me having actual friends and being on drug is quite an absurd story
But that means Summer has just killed a major Canon character, one that I have expected not to fuck with. A Maiden, a fucking Maiden! Ozpin's gonna hunt me down and rape me with his caffeine-coated candy-stick if he found that out
And Salem. Oh my god, she's gonna hunt me down and rape me with her acid-coated demon-tentacle if she ever found out I'm holding the trump card to winning this war between them
I'm fucked either way! Literally! And it's not the kind of kinky fuck I will enjoy!
Fucking Fuckity Fuck!
Okay calm down. You're a grown up boy, (Y/n), you're supposed to be a freakin adult, a badass blue-collared adult with a minimal wage that barely covers your living expenses for each month from your job. Think!
First off, the quest. There's nothing I can or want to do about it. The lack of penalty means I would still be fine even if I just leave it there in the corner. In other word: fuck it, I ain't about to sacrifice my life to some meager rewards like that
But that would still not solve the main problem. Even if I do nothing about it, the Canon will be involved, the timeline will probably change for the worse, and the fate of the world may fall on my shoulder, and I am not exactly prepared to deal with that
IQ, I summon all of you in time of need! Come and assist me in a battle for our survival!
Your cute vampire slave started going rogue, killed a major character you'd rather avoid killing and turned her into your secondary servant, killed another major character you'd avoid and absorb her power, but not make her your servant, then pissed off two super duper major powers in the story by deciding to hide from them, then blame it all on her master to be hunted down while she got away scotfree
If that were to happen, what should I do? What can I do?
Well, the first thing anybody would come up with is to dispose of that vampire servant. Meaning I should hunt down Summer and put her to rest from the nightmare I've inflicted upon her
This is a sound move, as it will stop far crazier things from happening and messing up the timeline more than it already is. Killing her may even make Salem leave me alone!
....That is what a normal person with an IQ below 60 would think
If I did have the balls to kill Summer, there's that itty bitty chance of Salem thinking "wow this Grimm managed to defeat my greatest weakness with ease. That means he is far more dangerous than her. Looks like I'll have to send Cinder to burn his ass up and turn him into my loyal servant in the tentacle dungeon as my rape slut hehehe", so in a way, I would inadvertently bring disaster to myself by killing Salem's greatest hindrance, as that would honestly draw her attention back to me, the one whom she had warned not to get in her way before!
And I honestly don't want to be the Grimm Queen's servant. Heck, I don't even want to be close to her in any way, shape or form because I'm kinda immortal and eternal servitude is a bitch. Ozpin also, being manipulated and lied to by him is somehow even worse.
Which leave the second option of handing Summer back to either side out the window and into the trash can. This also means that I have to go with option C. Good old reliable C
Find Summer and the other servant, make them stay together with me in order to keep a close eye on them. That way they won't cause anymore trouble, then both Salem and Ozpin wouldn't make a move toward me as long as I remain in a passive stance with my servants as meatshield
Muhahahahahahaha- Wait, I'm not supposed to be evil
Those two are my only lifeline to surviving this whole ordeal. If I can't get to them before something much much more terrible happened, (say, another Maiden was killed which was almost impossible to happen), there's a high chance my vacation in Remnant would end right here. Permanently. With my dead body lying on the cold water of Menagerie
And as such
Ding!
New Quest created!
[Master, do you miss me?~]
- Quest: Recover your servants before they do anything that might threaten your neutral stance
- Reward: +10 Bond with your servant(s)
- Failure: Your Karma is set to 0. [Servant Status: Yandere] unlocked
No matter what happens, I will never give Summer up. For the sake of staying alive, I'll gladly hunt her down and keep her with me forever
Goddamn does that make me sound creepy. But I don't care!
<><><><><><><>
Nightbringer tilted her head
"Captain, what's wrong?"
"....." The blank look in his eyes shifted, blinking rapidly as to chase away a bad dream
"Captain?"
The fog that clouded his eyes moments ago vanished upon her words
The boy turned to face her with a stare
For some unknown reasons, (Y/n) has that faraway look in his eyes, the look of someone slowly dying inside. It was distinctly familiar for the ship who had seen that expression on so many of her victims up until now.
Despair, denial, grief over a mental and physical loss that left permanent damage to their sanity after all has passed. The look of people with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Just what horrible things happened that could elicit such an...intense emotion from him? War? The death of someone he loved?
War...could it be..?
A chill went down her spine as (Y/n) suddenly breathed in
"Haaaa....."
To her relief, it was not a gigantic fireball as scorching hot as the sun, a deadly cloud of acid gas, nor a fierce roar that could shake the earth underneath them that left his mouth. He just slowly breathed out instead, the veins on his head slowly retracting back as he calmed down
(Y/n) reopened his eyes
It seems like he had decided on something. The look in his crimson red eyes are now sharper than before, glazed with a focused determination so intense that she doesn't dare to look straight at it. The resolve of someone who is willing to die to accomplish his goal
Again, she has no idea what he is thinking up until that moment, but it must have been of great importance to him
"It's nothing. Let's go out for a walk, Nighty" (Y/n) smiled suddenly "I'm feeling kind of energetic today. Might want to loosen up my muscles a bit"
She slowly nodded, not trusting herself to speak out against him
(Y/n) is, in all aspects, an enigma to her.
When she was first brought into this world, the ship girl's first impression about her master has been 'beautiful'
When he subdue and thoroughly dominate her in a matter of seconds upon waking up , her thought about him turn to 'formidable'
And when his killing intent flooded the room just now, she already assessed him as someone 'dangerous'
As his belonging, Nightbringer has a certain shared connection with her captain. Their bond allows her to gauge the depth of his full strength just by simply measuring the aura around him. It was some part due to curiosity, some part due to intrigue, but the girl decided to try it on (Y/n) when he wasn't looking her way
But somehow, she can't
A person's strength can normally be deducted form the intensity of the energy surrounding them. Between two two people, the one with the brighter aura will win up to 90% of the time, as the aura symbolizes the power in them. It also symbolize their growth in power
But...(Y/n) doesn't have that aura. Surrounding him is just a veil of unending darkness. Darker than an abyss and blacker than the night. Light that gather around it seems to be sucked in. Absorbed. Devoured to the very last bit in that blackness with an unending hunger for everything
Gazing straight at it, she couldn't even fathom the true depth of his power. It was so deep. And large. And never-ending. It's as though there's truly no limit to his growth
The thought alone made her felt a little bit excited. How much destruction would be caused if (Y/n) stopped restraining himself and fight at full power? A town? An island? A city? Hell, with proper planning, even a Kingdom will be no match for him
"Say, are you hungry?" he stopped "I think we should just fill our stomach first before going out for training"
Nightbringer's eyes widened. She shifted on her foot from surprise at suddenly being called out
Food? As in human food? Can she really eat it without having a stomachache?
"Uh-Erm...not really..." The girl replied, trying to make it sounds as calm as she could. A sweat ran down her back from behind "I, un, mean no disrespect of course. It's not that I don't like to, but I, well, it's just-"
The Captain waved, an expressive gesture that tells her to shut the fuck up on her stammering
"Tell me, what would you like for breakfast?"
"I'm not hungry, but if you insist..." She stopped "...I would like to eat the Titanic"
He sent a look at Nightbringer
"I almost forgot you're supposed to be a ship before" (Y/n) muttered 'Regardless, the Titanic exists in Remnant?'
"Oops, old habits die hard I guess"
".....Perhaps" The boy narrowed his eyes, sizing her up and down as though something just crossed his mind "How old are you?"
"Captain, I can assure you that I am at that age where I can give consent. You need not to worry about anything"
"I'm talking about something else" (Y/n) inched forward, surprising her with his sudden forwardness, and spoke in a curious tone "Why would you think I want to have sex with a ship anyway?"
"Well, it'll be a unique experience..."
"Seriously. A thousand out of a thousand girls is biologically capable of giving me sexual intercourse. Why would doing that with you be any different?" He rolled his eyes
"Why is it that you asked me about my age if it's not for breeding in the first place?"
Huh. He guess it's natural for her to think that. Though He is quite curious how she already grasped the definition of breeding beforehand
"Simple. There's so much about you that I want to know now that you can talk: Who created you? What is your purpose? For how long have you existed? What is the extent of your true power? Are there others like you out there? Where are they?"
A barrage of questions spew forth from his mouth as he began counting on his fingers
"Wy is your name Morningstar? Why do you only work with pirates? How do you explain your special abilities? How did you become a human? What are the limitations to your human body? How much of a ship are you currently? If you get pregnant, will your child be in ship form or in human form? Can you get pregnant with a human or must it be ship-to-ship intercourse? How do you even breed naturally in the first place?"
For every question that left his mouth, (Y/n)'s silhouette grows larger and larger until he was towering over her with that scary look on his face, forcing her to back into the wall
"U-u-um..Uh, I-I" For the second time, the ship girl was at a loss for what to say
"You what?"
"I-I..." For some reason, the word never left her mouth. He is her captain and he is questioning her under the name of his authority, yet she is hiding the answer from him
Is it actually okay for him to know? Why is she hesitating? Maybe he will actually understand her? Maybe...
Just like her previous captains, will (Y/n) Kenway came to despise the cursed existence known as Nightbringer, the sail of Death?
She closed her eyes and kept silence
"Well, it's okay if you don't feel the need to tell me" (Y/n) turned around abruptly, the scary silhouette around him disappeared into thin air "Just answer them one by one on our way downstairs. We have plenty of time after all"
She stood there wordless as he walked away, not giving even a second glance at her
Nightbringer sighed
Like she said, Captain (Y/n) is an enigma that cannot be solved. Like him, the darkness that surround her Captain is unfathomable in nature, incomprehensible, too dark for one to properly gauge his full capability.
She wonder...just what is the true nature of this person, who managed to instill both fear and respect in her? Just what kind of past did he have to have become such a person?
A person who called out to her in a sea of blood and fire. Bodies littered the burning battleground. Fearful eyes of the sailor as they witnessed her descend. And he stood there smiling
A person who would laugh joyfully with her as they sank ships after ships, ending so many lives that goes on board. He felt proud of her, and she felt happy for every thousands of life they ended
A person who had seen her gluttonous side, yet showed no disgust toward her: A repulsive monster that only know how to greedily consume others. There is only acceptance
They had gotten along so well that...she is starting to get afraid of him.
It was just a hunch, but maybe there is something hidden beneath that madness he showed to her. Something...he obviously didn't want other people to see
What if there's a reason why he chose to come here, out of all place?
Discarding his crew. Ordering for her to stay at the bottom of the ocean. Exposing himself to land, where a pirate have as much power as a goldfish on a desert when he had sunk a hundred of the military's warship. That act is akin to suicide itself
Or is it?
During her time spending at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, haven't there been a similar scene like this?
A floating light swayed in the dead water. Gathered were the fishes around it, entranced by the bright color. The opening of the Angler Grimm's maw, closing down on it's unaware prey. Without hesitation, without struggles, without even knowing the reason why they died
It is not a fight, merely a simple meal served for the predator. A meal so easy to catch that the predators doesn't even think twice about exposing themselves to danger beforehand
Then, just what is it that (Y/n) is trying to catch? What could he have been planning?
Is it the reason why he lost focus just mere moments ago? Perhaps he had realized something. A shift in the silent water. The ripples that spread across the surface, splitting it in half in different direction. The telltale sign that the bait has been taken
Is he anticipating for something to happen?
Nightbringer shook her head frantically, trying to clear herself from that train of thought
When you look at the abyss for too long, the abyss look back at you
She honestly don't want to know what lies at the end of that dark and fearful place inside his mind
<><><><><><><><><><>
"The hotels have to take responsibility for these kind of incidents!"
A man slammed his left hand on the receptionist counter, a pained look on his face. His right hand is busy stopping the blood flowing from his penis down his pants
The receptionist stared in shock at the object placed on her desk: A rubber vagina with blood flowing out from it
"What kind of sick, cruel bastard would put a fucking knife into a fucking onahole!?" He screamed "Gah, my dick hurts, dammit!"
"Calm down sir, at least it's just your genital that got stabbed" The hotel employee tried to reassure her customer "We will try our best to find the culprit who did this, don't you worry!"
She handed him a dirty rag
"Here, please use this to stop the bleeding in the mean time!"
The man burst into tears "I can't, it will give me an infection. Ambulance, I need an ambulance!"
"There's no ambulance on this island, sir. The vet on the other hand...."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
"Sir? Sir? Oh my god Cynthia use the flex tape!"
He started convulsing, foam leaking out from his mouth
"That's a lot of damage..." Cynthia stood above him, a roll of flex tape in her hand "Don't worry sir. If Phil Swift can saw a boat in half and heal using this, then you can too"
"M-my dick..." The man whimpered
"Yes, your dick" She caressed the wounded penis gently with one hand, before roughly slapping the black sticky tape on it with the other hand "With flex tape, fixing everything become so much easier!"
"GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Blood spurted out and sprayed messily onto the ceiling above them
"Kya! You let out so much!" Her eyes are glazed over "All those blood makes my skirt so wet"
"....."
What act of sluttery is this?
From the corner, our protagonist deadpanned at the sight in front of him, his appetite having already gone after witnessing such a 18+ scene like that
I came down here to have some breakfast. Can you people at least have the decency not to do these kind of things in the guest's dining room?
The first thing I'll do when I got a phone is giving this inn a one star on Trivago. Terrible food, below-average staff service, and a backsided view of the beach that I can't see from my room
"Really, putting such a dangerous weapon inside a supposed sex toy....I can't believe mentally ill people like that exists" Nightbringer spoke up in awe as she witnessed the man's struggling on the floor while the receptionist tried to applied more flex tape onto him
While she said that, strands of noodles are still dangling from her mouth. Some of which also stuck to her nose and hair. The girl had taken to human food well
It is clear this is the first time she had witnessed the more bizarre side of humanity. Of course she would be shocked
I tilted my head, looking at the intercourse device perching on top the receptionist's desk. The one that caused so much pleasure, yet so much pain to it's user
That Onahole looked quite familiar though...has I seen it somewhere before?
Hmm....
Nope. No clue. The bastard who did this must have been a very cunning man to hide it
It's a good thing that I'm wary of those rubber thing, or else it would have been me lying in his place right now
"What did you learn from observing this man, Nightbringer?" She stopped slurping on the ramen bowl in order to look at me, her eyes brimmed with curiosity
"What did I learn?" The girl echoed, turning in the same direction he's looking "Well, it would be to always look underneath the underneath. That man got tricked by the outer appearance of the vagina and foolishly stick his dick in it, not expecting the price he has to pay for his lust"
She took a sip
(Y/n) nodded
"Exactly. People, society, friends, and the world around you in general. They all have a thing in common" He leaned back in seat, taking the time to admire the beautiful ceiling above him "They are all like onaholes stashed with knives in them"
Nightbringer choked on her lemonade
"When you descend the road of life, it will never be a straight path. Nothing will be take for granted, as is a free sex toy. There will be pain. There will be pleasures. There in lies the Onahole and the knives. Without hesitation, without restraint, you thrust deeper into the abyss, and deeper, and deeper, losing a part of yourself in the process. And then, At one point in time. It became a matter of choice: Whether to continue on with your indulgence, pushing desperately for the climax of your pleasure, or risk permanently hurting yourself in the process. Is it worth it? Should I give up? Should I kept pushing? Should I have not stick myself into this in the first place"
"The hardest choices often require the strongest of wills" She muttered, sipping on some more lemonade
"Life is like an onahole. A gamble with your pride as a human being on the line. You throw yourself into the whirlwind, like a moth drawn to the flame. You thought you could take on the world, as is others had before you. You thought you could play with the consequence, you never can. In the end, whether you got lucky or not, the price and the risks will never change"
"The hardest thing to do is to know the holes with knives and the hole without. It's about the issue of trust, and of expectations. Which can you put your dick into? What can you trust? Which one contains the knife? Which one doesn't? The choices confuses you, it clouded your mind, make you go wild with paranoia, slowly consuming you until all that's left is a lifeless husk of a once-human being"
"I was there. I made the choices. I paid the price" He looked up "If only I haven't let fear get the best of me...if only I have put my dick all the way in...In time, all that's left will be a sea of regret inside you"
'It is my fault that Summer is still alive. I should have just let her join the pack long ago instead of being a pussy and chase the woman away' I closed my eyes 'Honestly, stopping so many death flag at the same time is kinda difficult for me'
Unbeknownst to (Y/n), Nightbringer was silently watching him across the table, her eyes peering straight at him
An uncomfortable silence dragged on between them, stretching for seconds that felt like an eternity to him, and just before he could properly apologize to the ship for his weird comments, she spoke up in a whisper
"The darkness"
Ding!
Charisma check failed successfully! (???/10)
"Huh?" He looked up, confused as to what she's talking about
"My first memory when I was born into this world is the sight of darkness" Nightbringer closed her eyes, seemingly unfocused on the present "There were noises. The billowing sound of crackling thunder far above. The dull sound of the wind howling near the water surface, sending out waves that pushed me forward on the sand floor of the ocean. The sound of me taking my first breath into this world"
"That day, I was born as a Grimm. A Leviathan to be exact"
The boy blinked
Ding!

'Ah, this damned window'
I stayed silent as I mentally willed the notification away. I made a note to view the [Grimm Index] after this, but continued listening on to her story
My gamer instinct is telling me not to skip this [Dialogue Cutscene] because it might be useful for information
Who knows, maybe this will trigger another quest or something
"Ah, you must be wondering as to why I'm a Grimm despite my former appearance. But please just hear me" She took in a deep breath "I couldn't move. My limbs are frozen in the ice cold water, a temperature too extreme for a young baby as myself. The current got shifted, and I got drifted farther and farther away from land, until everything around me was drowned in darkness. The first day in my life I ended up 3,000 meters below where I was supposed to be. Joy"
"Interesting, did you know where you were born?"
"Somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle, I would guess" She appeared thoughtful "For the next few centuries I wander the ocean floor, scavenge for little remain of food I could find and battling against the montrosity that lives there. Often time only escaping within an inch of my life. As you know, life as a Grimm baby is not very easy"
"Oh" (Y/n) smirked "I probably do, but you already know what I am beforehand, don't you?"
"Well yes, the fact that you're a Grimm is apparent when you set foot on me, as I-"
"-Could sense the negative energy pouring off around me" I finished, taking another sip of tea "A certain slime once told me that exact same thing, Grimm could determine it's kind by our energy signature that only us could percept"
"Now tell me what happened next. How did you go from a god-forsaken baby Leviathan to a freaking haunted Victorian-style pirate ship now?"
She shrugged
"It occurred naturally, I supposed. After an uncertain period of time I started to get bored living there. A place only surrounded by darkness, where no Grimm could ever exist due to the enormous pressure at that depth. The monsters that I struggled to fight against in my childhood now seems so weak to me. So feeble. So normal" She blinked "So from the depth of 13,000 meters below the sea, I rose up to the surface to have my first look at where I was supposed to be. I even met some of my own kind on the way there"
"What was their reaction?"
Nightbringer's face fell
"For some reason, the other Leviathan seems to be afraid of me. They just keep avoiding me wherever I go"
"Hm..."
"But it's not like I care about that" Her voice lowered into a monotone "I just want to see what the world was like on the surface, where there is light, and land, and other animals I haven't seen before. It was fascinating to me, I guess"
"And?"
Her face fell again
"The next thing I know, I was surrounded by weirdly-shaped monster. Those were ships of course, but I have not yet known about them then. Being the compulsive Grimm that I am, I may.... have accidentally brushed against them with my tail underwater"
"I take it that those ships were sank instantly?" I said, calmly sipping on some tea
"No- well kind of. Maybe. Probably. My memory wasn't that clear you know?" Nightbringer smiled wryly "The next day more of those ships came. This time they're armed with cannon, harpooner's lances, and sharp hooks dangling from the side of their ship. They thought I was a whale and intended to harvest me"
"Being the compulsive Grimm that I am-"
"Yeah, I know" His tone was dry as the desert "And thus begun your fascination to hunting down human ships and eating them, wasn't it?"
"Aye, and it was the most fun I've had in my life. As time passes by and technology progress, the ships keeps getting stronger, bigger, tougher. More delicious. I soon made it my life's mission to eat every single one of them until nothing remains in order to satisfy my hunger"
I briefly wondered if that's what gonna happen to me had I been reincarnated as a sea Grimm when I first came here
Underwater Sea Grimm is kind of an underrated theme among RWBY fanfics nowadays
"And that was when I first met him" She frowned, a tint of annoyance in her voice "The captain named Davy Jones"
I began to Britishly sip on my tea in an aggressive manner
Here comes the good part
"A captain with the highest rank in his country's naval force. Jone's ship is named the Morningstar, the Vessel of Hope as they'd often call it. A ship with a hundred victory, countless battles it has experienced, countless ships it had sunken, countless shots it has endured. Now, the captain himself has taken it his life's mission to take down the greatest marine creature known to man...or that's what he said anyway"
"Do you think there's more terrifying creatures at sea than you?"
"Oh, there's tons of them" She began listing off her fingers excitedly "Old Uncle Cthulhu, the grumpy middle-aged Godzilla, the loud Hydra family, the sweet but easily-teased Kraken. They're all dear friends who I've met on my journey around the world. Then There's also an incredibly powerful serpent in the past named Jormungandr that wake up and consume a part of the sea every century, though I haven't met them yet so I couldn't confirm"
I blinked
They all sounds like friendly Grimm, really
Perhaps I should try visiting the deep sea for once
Ding!
A new quest has been created: [Terror From The Deep]
- Quest: Befriend Cthulhu, Godzilla, Hydra, Kraken and Jormungandr
- Reward: New friendships gained, new skill [Great Protection Of The Primordial Sea] gained, [????]
".....Continue on"
"Anyway, the Captain, along with several hundred heavily-armed ships from the navy confront me in front of my hideout in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, right above the Mariana Trench. At first there were the sounds of shouting, the little human were swearing profanity at me. Then there were loud shots of cannonballs being fired, accompanied by the sound of them uselessly bouncing off my scales. That's when I know they're not there to play around"
The tea in my cup has already ran out, but i continued sipping on it for appearance's sake
" My massacre of them last about 2 hours with most of the ships ending up in my stomach. In the end, only me and that Morningstar vessel is left, then I opened my mouth and swallowed everyone inside after having gotten bored of them"
She sighed
"And then Davy Jones said 'Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru' as he lit up a cigar on his mouth, and I replied with 'Nani!?', then I died"
Another sigh
"Turns our all 300 ships were filled to the brim with explosive Dust compound beforehand, a total weight of 600,000 tonnes of them. Then came the grand reveal of the century: The captain's plan in the beginning isn't to fight me, but is instead to take me down in one suicidal attack as his last deed for his country, making me swallow all of them before detonating the whole thing in my stomach"
I winced
Damn, girl. You got it hard, didn't you?
"It worked wonderfully. Most of my body got torn to pieces from the inside, the remaining one got severely burnt due to the heat flash, which was somewhat lessened due to the fact that I'm underwater at that time. Regardless, it still hurts like hell. I passed out just moments after the explosion"
"And when I regain my consciousness, I was lying at the bottom of the deepest place on Remnant, the familiar darkness once again surrounded me"
Nightbringer stared into the distance
"Except, my body is now no more. After the course of a few years during my slumber, my flesh has already been infected and decayed by the mud on the ocean floor to the point of unrecognizable grotesque. It is clear that I will never be able to go back to my former appearance anymore. My consciousness tried to repair myself by latching on to a support, a physical vessel, a foundation to properly regenerate my body. And as luck would have it, that same foundation just happens to be the Morningstar's corpse lying next to me"
Oh wow, the irony is almost unbearable
"I don't know what happens after that. Everything just seems like a blur to me. I was weaken, and hungry, and desperate, so I rose up to the surface to go on the hunt once more. This time putting all my focus on human vessels wandering the sea as the target of my vengeance"
"After that, I can recall taking part in several large-scale naval wars. Every time the booming shots of cannon echoed in the water, I came from the deep and massacre everything there, leaving only a trail of wood and gunpowder behind my wake after all is over. The USS Enterprise, the IJN Yamato, the HMS Hood, the KMS Bismarck...." She smiler wryly "In the end, They all met the same fate in the bottom of my stomach"
"Hm Hm" I nodded "I assume that eating a ship will help you get stronger?"
"Correct, eating ships and other sea monsters help me to regain my former strength, as well as my original form of course" She spread out her legs, enjoying the chilly feeling of the wind passing through between them "Although this human form is quite unexpected for me, all thanks to that [Wisdom Cube] thingy you carry with you"
"I guess it is as you said" Nightbringer laughed "Life is just like a bunch of onaholes stuffed with knives. You sometime might get the bad out of the good, or the good out of the bad. Nobody knows, but maybe that's why it's so interesting. After all, If I haven't turn to a ship, I wouldn't have met someone like you in the first place"
"I see" I really don't. There's literally nothing special about me that could even makes me a remotely desirable man "And that SDC vessel I sunk at sea recently just happens to trigger your next Evolution, am I right?"
"Correct"
"Which leads to the fact that allying yourself with talented pirates can help you to find more ships in a short amount of time, thus accelerate your healing process, correct?"
"Correct"
I hummed, closing my eyes
"How many ships have you sunk ever since you became the Morningstar?"
"One thousand eight hundreds and twenty nine ships in total, plus an addition of two hundreds and twelve cruisers from two days ago"
"How much of your strength has returned?"
"Right now I'm at 28% of my prime"
"How strong would that 28 percent make you?"
"The entirety of Menagerie can disappear off the map if I want to"
"Oh" was my only reply, accompanied with a raised eyebrow "So why haven't you done that yet?"
"I cannot do that" Nightbringer frowned, shaking her head "You are my Captain and my pack leader, as such you are superior to me. I don't have the authority to do anything drastic without an explicit permission from you" She stopped
"Beside, something tell me you're not going to be happy if I destroy this island now"
"You'd be right" Her master smile slightly "Let's just say that right now, at this moment, I value this vacation more than anything else on the world"
"Now, it seems like you're finished eating, and I've gotten to know you well. Let's head out for a little walk, shall we?"
"Certainly"
I raised my voice
"Check, please!" I called out, placing the money on the table before standing up "Oh, and make sure to keep the fire a little longer after you've grilled the steaks. They're too raw to take out of the barbecue as of this moment"
As we walked by the man with the bleeding wound, I secretly gave him a bandage out of pity. A notification popped up, but I turned it off and headed out toward the door
Ding!
For helping someone in their darkest times, you have gained [Secret Title: Savior]: +1200% effectiveness of healing skills/healing items when applied to someone with low HP
Your charisma has now reached a new level
Your reputation with the Faunus has increased by a little bit
Behind (Y/n), the man muttered a word of gratitude and weakly applies the handkerchief to his genital wounds. To his surprise, a soft glow slowly emitted out of the covered area, spreading across his penis before a feeling of heavenly numbness overtaken it
Everyone in the dining room gasped in surprise at the miracle happening in front of them
When he lifted the handkerchief up, his dick had stopped bleeding, not even a single scar was left behind. Somehow, it had even seem larger and more vitalized than before, which makes the women in the room gulped nervously
A shocked silence enveloped the room
"N-no way" The man muttered, holding the paper up to his chest "This is-This must be a miracle from God!"
"Did you hear what he just said though?" Another man wondered "he told the staff to keep the fire going a little longer, as the steaks are still raw at this point, before walking out the front door"
They all went silent
Keep the fire...it can only mean to rise up against human and establish order on this world
If then, the steaks are raw...must be that the flame of revolution is dwindling down. In time, they will lose that chance to ignite the fire inside the people of their race
"Amen for our father in heaven if this is not His divine message for the people here!"
"Salvation upon us!"
"The signs are here! The time has come! Let the revolution begin!"
"Death to inequality! Damned to racism! Human and Faunus shall stand as one!"
"May the Lord guide our path to the promised destiny. That of victory for Menagerie!"
Like a spark that ignites everything, it leave as sudden as the explosion that came after
"VIVA LA REVOLUTION!"
The drunk Faunus all yelled in fever
And thus it begun, the start of an event that would, in time, change the entire world of Remnant
All according to the plan

Ding!
Do you want to purchase this skill? This will cost you 5 levels (20,751 EXP)
"So, Nightbringer. You say that eating ships and sea monsters will help you regain your lost strength, didn't you?" Walking on the bustling street of Menagerie, I smiled and turned to look at my companion
"Yes, that is correct"
"However, you do realize that the numbers of ships created are limited, don't you?" I turned back again "It costs a vast amount of wood, steel, concrete, and a shit ton of manpower to even construct a decent one, which makes the ones you've eaten up until this point a serious waste of valuable resources. If you keep hunting them down like that, humans will eventually switch to using Bullhead and other vehicles instead"
"Yes, but large sea monsters are even harder to find" She frowned "There's only a thousand of them in the world, and most of them are so well at hiding themselves so much that I can't even find them. Compare to that, ships are infinitely better preys than they could ever be"
The clacking of my boots stopped on the ground
"Are you sure about that?" A smirk formed on my face "What if I can bring you to a place where countless of terrifying monstrosity exists, where you can continuously kill and eat and kill to your heart's content without ever having to worry about them running out, where you can challenge beasts far stronger than yourself all day long, 24/7?
Nightbringer opened her mouth, then closed it as she narrowed her eyes
"For such a place to exist would be impossible"
Ding!
You have purchased the skill [ID create]
Your level has been reduced to Lvl93 as payment for this
(Y/n) grabbed her hand and pulled her into a dark alley, far from the prying eyes of the nearby pedestrian
"Let me tell you one thing, my dear Leviathan" He said, gently pushing her against the wall, his face mere inches from her as he whispered slyly into the girl's ears
"There are no such things as impossible, only the improbable" His finger trailed down the girl's cheek "Don't you trust me, Nightbringer Leviathan?"
She shivered at his touch, the sensation doubled by the seductive way he is calling her name
'Ah. I'm not being seduced. I'm not being seduced. I'm not being seduced. I'm not being seduced. I'm not being seduced. I'm not being seduced. I'm not being seduced. I'm not being seduced. I'm not being seduced. I'm not being seduced. I'm not being seduced. I'm not being seduced. I'm not being seduced. I'm not being seduced. I'M NOT BEING SEDUCED'
'But..it feels so good...'
"Yes...I trust you" Her pride as a Grimm eventually crumbled. Broken to pieces and grounded to dust by the boy known as (Y/n) with his clearly superior charisma
His smile widened in joy, an expression so pure, so innocent and so beautiful that she can't help but look away in shame
"That's good!"
Ding!
First Floor Unlocked: Death Sea
Difficulty selected: Nightmare (+125% EXP)
A portal swirled to existence on the wall behind them, making Nightbringer who was leaning on it lost her balance and tumble backward. She tried to hold on to her captain, but gravity's already pulling her downward with a terrifying force, as though the portal itself is trying to suck her in
"Consider this as a favor for saving me back then" He smiled at her, his face getting farther and farther away from her as she fell "When you get 100, no, 150% of your total strength back, feel free to come back to me. I won't expect anything less than a calamity-level Grimm after you've returned, so make sure you work hard down there!"
"Ah!" With another tug from below, Nightbringer fell into the raging water beneath her. Up above, (Y/n)'s encouraging smile disappeared behind the darkness as the portal immediately closed in upon her entry, snapping the temporal gate shut from this reality
Now alone and falling down from the sky at terminal velocity, the ship girl could only sigh in exasperation amidst the sound of the sea wind rushing through her hair
'Ha, it seems I was right' She closed her eyes 'Captain (Y/n) sure is one insane man. But if there's one thing I learned from this, he's someone you can definitely depend on'
She opened her eyes, revealing blood red orbs that stared straight at the heaven. The eyes of a Leviathan that once wreak havoc and destruction upon the human world, now turned to a mere steed for another Grimm to ride on
Beneath her, a giant jaw full of blood-stained sharp teeth opened in anticipation. The typical attack of a Gigalodon from her age, a monster that had terrified humanity for eons before the invention of planes. It's glowing red eyes flashed dangerously through the black water
'Just you wait, my master. I will become a mount worthy for you to ride on after all this is over'
With a wave of her hand, hundreds of crackling thunderbolt shook the sky as they descended down the sea below them
<><><><><><><><><><><>
"Well that was one convenient skill" I remarked with a happy smile on my face as I walked out of the alley, my steps springing just a little higher in excitement 'Can't wait to see Nightbringer soloing that entire ID by herself'
ID Create. I have only read about it in certain gamer fics on the Internet. A skill which allows you to create and enter a dungeon of your choice to grind for the monster there. I once thought of it as something handy for a gamer. Good for grinding, but nothing else
But now that I have it in hand, this seems ridiculously overpowered. There's just literally too many uses for a space seperated from reality to even count in the first place: Kidnapping, escaping, far-ranged teleportation...
Though it costs me 5 level in experience points, the sheer advantages I could have possessing this skill far outweigh it. For God's sake, [ID Create] is literally a more powerful version of Obito's Kamui!
Speaking of experience though, it seems that my theory regarding the Evolution System is correct judging from the status update this morning
Apparently upon evolution, I can now turn into a [Ghoul Lord]. But at the present, I'm only a [Lesser Ghoul]. There's a huge power gap between them, pre-Evol and post-Evol
That is when I realized the bizarre nature of the Grimm's evolution system. It doesn't categorize the lack of skills and hard work you spent on training yourself. Rather, becoming a higher species means you are automatically better at everything
Every skills I've learned up until this point. All my forms. All my stats. All my class jobs. All my racial perks. All of them will be greatly enhanced upon evolution. If I learned something after experiencing a evolution, I will have to level them up the normal way again
Which left me with quite a convenient cheat method, to be honest
'If I continue buying skills from the System, I can stay off from evolving from the time being, as the condition for it means that I have to hit the level 100 cap first. My stats will stay the same, so really nothing will be lost from it"
'In the mean time, I'll collect as many skills, jobs and abilities as possible. When I hit the big Evol button, everything will automatically level up, thus saving me a shit ton of time from grinding them from level one'
'Which means it's perfectly fine to use these things' I pulled out a stash of books from my coat's inventory 'I once thought it's a pain to learn them, but now things have changed'
The book I got from the bandit camp with the suspicious black coffin back then. I remembered putting them in my pocket and almost forgot about them on my way here due to many things happening along the way that distracts me from actually deciding to do something about it
Okay, let's start
The passerby looked on with shock and awe as the young boy began to shove the books, one by one, into his mouth, chewing on them enthusiastically as though he's an Asian studying math on his final exam
Ding!
Your understanding about magic has increased
You have learned [Cast Greater Magic]: You can now learn low-level spells for free. +10% Magic Damage
This...is unexpected
This...is wonderful. I should have learned this before. That would have saved me tons of EXP from grinding, shit!
Ding!
You have learned [Job Class: Assassin]: From the shadow, the glint of the dagger is unseen to none. +20% when using knife weapon
You have learned [Assassination]: Allow you to use basic assassination techniques. +50% agility permanently
You have learned [Assassination Technique #1: Flash]: Death is simple. Death is swift. Death is inevitable. Death is absolute
You have learned [Assassination Technique #2: Waltz]: The blood is the ink and the sword is the pen. Let your instinct go wild and your blade dance in this primal ecstasy
You have learned [Assassination Technique #3: Pierce]: Like the gentle falling rain on a dry day. With kindness, I deliver the final blessing to thee: The peaceful release of death
You have learned [Assassination Technique #4: Bloom]: They say the Sakura flower is at it's most beautiful at the moment of it's death. You will not only be beautiful, you will be perfect
Huh, what?
I stretched my body. It has became unexpectedly light, as though a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulder. My limbs are more flexible now as well, I felt like I could actually
"If I can move at sub-sonic speed and dodge bullets mid-air before this, just how much better would being an assassin make me now?"I wondered
Ding!
You have learned [Job Class: Trickster]: Lies. Deception. You're used to it. There's only one face beneath a thousand masks. +20 Incognito. +40 Charisma
You have learned [Disguise]: You can now slightly change your appearance by shifting your postures, manipulating your expressions, and changing your physique to suit the role you're playing, even if that role's of a different age or gender
You have learned [Seduction]: Tempt people into loving or having intercourse with you. Works on both gender as long as you are of the opposite sex. When active, temporarily +100 Charisma
(Seducing children and animals, whether they are dead or alive, will lead to your account being permanently deleted)
'......'
Well, they're not very useful combat-wise, but they have their uses. [Disguise] can help me to blend in if the military ever wanted to hunt me down. They probably won't ever think that the Grim can be a 90 year-old grandpa with back problems, a fat Otaku who has a severe case of anime addiction, or a slutty Gyaru girl trying to get laid on the street. Apart from that, everything that doesn't stand out will likely catch their attention
With that skill, I could technically become whatever I want. Be it young or old, cold or kind, men or women. A thousand masks, but only one face, that of (Y/n) (L/n)
And then there's this [Seduction] skill
Hm...
What should I say?
It's completely useless
Seduction cannot help me win a battle, as it takes time and concentration
Seduction cannot help me survive in the wild
Seduction will only help increase the chance of me getting STDs, and that then would completely be my own fault
In conclusion: There's literally no way for a guy like me to find a use for it
I look around the market
Wait, actually there can still be uses for it
I can seduce the old grandma over there to give me a discount on the beef! Ahhhh, maybe if I can offer her sex then she would give me free food!
"Wait, watch out!" A woman's voice snapped me out of my thought process. My eyes widened as I barely sidestepped a flying tuna heading my way
The next moment, I felt myself colliding with someone running in the opposite direction. Their grocery bags were flung into the air, scattering out vegetables and fishes as they spun uncontrollably mid-air
On reflex, I reached out my hand and smoothly catch them with the empty paper bag I snatched from the air. My supernatural dexterity allow me to easily pull it off without losing balance of myself
With the other hand, I gently catch the Faunus woman from falling over by wrapping my hand by her waist and held her close in my arm, her fluffy ears scratching against my chin
....
....
....Wait, these cat ears-
"Ahhhhh, the Tuna got away!" The woman in my arm whined "And I promised Blake I'll bring her one too. What will I say to her now?"
I blinked
"Excuse me"
"Oh, sorry!" She quickly dropped from my arm and landed gracefully on the ground "That's kinda embarrassing, I didn't think anybody would have to see such a vulgar display from me"
"I'm (Y/n) (L/n)" and please tell me you're not who I thought you are
"I'm Kali Belladonna. Nice to meet you" The Belladonna mistress winked "Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue. Men loves it"
"...."
Fuck

Author's Note: Do you guys think I should make a character sheet for (Y/n) that lists off every abilities he had learned until now? I mean, it's pretty long and I'm afraid you'll not be able to fully understand the limit of his power without a guide
Now that my depression after writing this has subsided, let's take a look at my collection of RWBY images this winter!
