Even though I would never imagine myself as the type of guy to do this....
[Purify] (Locked)
This skill can only be unlocked upon level 13!
[Purify] is a skill that enables you to cleanse anything, returning them back to their purest form and restore their lost original properties
*sigh* I want to analyze Neo and just get over it, since there might be more information the demon race can offer me if I can know their biological properties. Being in this Alternate Universe of RWBY is starting to get on my nerves, what's with the gap in information and all, so I intend to fill that gap as much as possible
With that said, it seems like I really can't do anything at the moment
Oh well, I might as well do the second best thing in this situation
My blade hovered right above Neo's unconscious body, before it moved in a vertical motion upward
The sound of cloth being tear off could be heard echoing in the dark forest
Her body laid bare before me, showing the flawless pale skin in the pearly moonlight. A pair of perky small breasts could be seen underneath the fabric, creating for quite an erotic sight if it hadn't been for the blood staining them
"...This is embarrassing" I took a deep breath "Sorry for the intrusion of your privacy, little miss"
While I said this, my hand tore off the remaining fabric from her body, steadfastly ignoring the annoyed feeling inside my body
There's nothing on her body for me to loot except for the umbrella, but that's not exactly what I'm trying to do here
From the inventory, I pulled out the herbs I managed to...ahem..."borrow"...at the village back then
"Let's see" I frowned, squeezing the thing in my hand and rub them on her body "Blue herb for nullifying negative status effect, this should stop the bleeding"
My eyes averted from the sight of the wound. Not because I was scared or disgusted. I just hadn't expected Summer's Breath of The Moon to be such a devastating skill, especially when combined with her sword
And that's only 10% of it's original power, makes you wonder just how strong it could be when used by Summer
"Next" I pulled out the red and green herb, slapping them on her face "One to heal the lost HP, and one to enhance that healing effect"
You might be wondering why I'm trying to heal her
I'm not, this is merely a step in my plan. Call this an experiment of sort, but I'm going to use Neo as a test object for the purification skill when I acquire them. It is a curious thought, what would happen when you purify a demon?
Will they turn to ash like vampires? Will they return to their original human form? If it was the latter, would their stats gain when they were a demon still be retained?
Idly, I noticed that Neo's now in a stable condition. Her wounds have been closed, and her heart's still beating, though there's no sign of her being conscious right now. But that was to be expected
Still, there needs to be some kind of band-aid to keep all those herbs in place
I winced
'Even though i don't want to do this, it's the only choice I have'
The hentai scroll appeared in my hand. It was a long piece of paper with various adulterous scene etched on it: A woman playing with an octopus stuck in a net, a man being pounded on by two hungry kitsunes, a princess riding on her samurai husband…
For all purpose, this is not hentai. The artstyle clearly indicates this is more of a shunga than the familiar anime picture, which makes sense considering the timeline I'm living in where the concept of 'manga' and 'anime' doesn't exist. Chances are, Osamu Tezuka hadn't been born here yet, if he even exist in this world in the first place
As such, I have no problem tearing it off, before wrapping the thin fabric around her petite body
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome
"Right" I nodded my head, looking at my neat handiwork "It's finished, now I need a mean of hiding her from the sun, as well as containing her in case Neo went berserk"
My eyes trailed down to the box in my hand. In hindsight, that would probably the best choice, seeing as I have no other way to carry her
I frowned, quickly pushing that thought away
'No, a box would not suffice. If we were to talk about an absolutely isolated and safe place…'
Ding!
You have put 1X [Neopolitan] into your inventory!
I nodded in satisfaction. Now that Neo has been taken care of, all that's left for me is to process that umbrella of hers. Raising the thing in front of me, I silently cast the four spells needed to complete the [Tracing Process]
[Item Repair] to return the item back to it's original state, aka the peak of it's power
[Appraisal] to get a grasp of the item's structural properties, thus smoothing out the prodecure and preventing any imperfection
[Mechanical Tracing] to 'duplicate that item
And finally, [Bond] to input my mark on it. Aside from me, nobody else could use this weapon. It's stats also raised a little as well
Ding!
A new weapon has been traced!
Name: Gensho Kagami (Mirrored Illusion)
Owner: Neopolitan
Rank: F (C)
Technique:
- [Shatter]: Fracture your enemy's sight. When active all enemies around you will suffer from [Lesser Vision] and temporary blindness
- [Kaleidoscope]: Create a matching image of you that attacks the enemy. The attack deals no damage. However, if an illusion hit your target, your next strike is guaranteed to deal critical damage
- [Post Perception]: Create an illusion in your place. For three seconds, you turn invisible before the illusion shatters. When used with [Kaleidoscope], the critical damage is doubled
This confirmed my suspicion.
During my fight with Neo, she clearly used only 2 abilities, yet there's up to 3 of them listed here
The number of one weapon's technique is influenced by it's rank. At rank F, you can only use a maximum of three abilities. Only when you have boost up your tracing skill will the rank rises, which increase the number of skills available for you
...It also means that Neo still have potential to become even more destructive considering her weapon's just a mere C-rank
"I'm not cut out to deal with this" I grumbled "Now, where are those two brats hiding?"
I may be able to learn something about this world if I kindly 'ask' them
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
"I'm sorry" Ren's head was lowered "I left you behind"
"WAAAAAAAA" Nora cried into the sleeve of my Haori, staining them with tears and snots alike "YOU'RE STILL ALIVE, FHMAPLESYRUPNKNHPANCAKHUHUE"
Their reactions were...strange..to say the least
To them, I am just a wandering stranger who found them in their ransacked village. I have no connection to them, nor their parents, nor their dead family. I've never set foot in the village before. In all essence, they should be wary of me, someone who came from the outside
I am not nice
I was carrying a blood-stained sword with me, I looted all the bodies in the village, and I almost killed Nora when I first saw her. If such a terrible person like me were to die, and to put myself in their perspective, I probably wouldn't give shit about him
Yet...why are they pretending to care about me?
Hm, maybe it's because they are scared of me and thought it would raise their chance of survival if they butter up to me in an overt manner? Yes, that seems to be the case here. While I'm hurt that two children were thinking about me like that, I couldn't exactly judge them
It would only be natural to think about your survival first, so I'll just have to play along with them to ease their mind
"Yes" I responded gently "As you can see, I'm still very much alive"
Both the children let out a heartfelt smile. They seems to be very good at acting
Uhm, how do I get to ask them about the continent's history?
I am now in desperation at the prospect of existing inside a KnY/RWBY universe. My knowledge of the series may be influenced by how much had change from the original timeline, depends on this being an AU or just a crossover between them
My instinct is telling me that there's a reason why Remnant turned out the way it is now. A missing something...or rather...someone...or something...maybe....I don't know
Deciding that I don't know how to bring up the topic due to my lack of social skill, I stopped talking and walked forward, ignoring the two children who followed me from behind
Ding!
Due to defeating an opponent far above your level, you have been automatically leveled up!
[Mechanical Tracing] has leveled up
[Bonding] has leveled up
Your Taijutsu stat has been raised by 1
Your Kenjutsu stat has been raised by 1
You have received 1 SP! Allocate them to any stat you like
So now that it is all over, the system decided to give me a reward for almost pissing myself fighting that demon, joy
Nonetheless, I was happy because of the increase in stat points. Since close-ranged combat is my specialty, I have decided to distribute the one SP into it
Ding!
Due to your [Taijutsu] stat leveling up 10 times, you can now choose a [Specialist Skill]!
Ha?
My eyes widened
A [Specialist Skill] is one that only someone with experience in that field can practice. Using these skills, one can greatly boost their efficiency in their specialization. One earn a [Specialist Skill] every 10 levels of that stat
Um, whatever you say System
Ding!
Please choose one of the three skills below:
1. [Flow Acceleration]: Increase your attack speed by 30% for 3 seconds. When this skill ends, gain a burst of movement speed for another 3 seconds. If a kill is made when flow acceleration is on, the duration is extended
2. [Meditation]: Accelerates your HP and stamina regeneration. When used at full health, increase maximum HP reserve by 15% and grant the status of [Zen], the state of absolute focus
3. [Dominating Aura]: Cast fear into the hearts of your enemies. Targets inside the boundary of this skill will get percentage reduction from their stats and lowered defense. During the first second of activation, all enemies are paralyzed no matter how high-level they are
hm....
AD, Tank, and CC
So the three option is specifically tailored to support the role of martial fighter I am aiming to be, which means future specialist skills will most likely depend heavily on what I picked right now
I shifted uncomfortably. Can't I just select them all?
Now now (Y/n), don't be too greedy
I almost didn't expect that to earn a response from them
A sudden idea sprung up in my head
'I choose them all!'
What did we say, (Y/n)? Only one of them
'You sure look beautiful today, System' I muttered my most charming smile 'And positively dazzling, why is it that no one has fallen in love with you yet?'
A brief silence greeted me, and when I think I almost succeed, another notification window popped up
Player (Y/n), flattery will get you nowhere
This time the word was underlined, which indicates a sterner voice from them. Clearly, the System had seen through my pathetic attempt before it even start
I internally winced, realizing that I may have gone too far
Just what was I thinking, trying to befriend the System?
I have almost forgotten this is the thing that brought me into this world now. It is a mysterious thing that can grants me mysterious power with unknown origin and distort the law of reality to it's desire
Furthermore, it governs the rules of the game like an administrator. Trying to break that same rule would be like smoking weed in front of the police. Worst case scenario, I may even got shot to death before I can say Nigga
'I'm very sorry' I smiled sheepishly to the window in front of me 'but it can't be helped because that's the truth'
Yes, despite it's power, the system is beautiful and benevolent. It already gave me too many to ask at this point. Supernaturally fast progress, almost reality-defying skills, and anti-law abilities that apparently has a massive amount of potential
It is the one thing that helps me to survive up until this point
....
Fine
Huh?
Since you have proven sincere in your praise, the System has decided to make an exception and gift you with all three skills for this ONE time, and only ONE
You have learned [Flow Acceleration]
You have learned [Meditation]
You have learned [Dominating Aura]
Put them to good use, you idiotic Player
Silence. I stared at the Tsundere-like message in front of my face with a shocked expression
That same shock soon turned into happiness
'SYSTEM, YOU ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL THING!' I internally screamed 'I FUCKING LOVE YOU'
Yes, praise us more
The nigh-omnipotent system seems to enjoy being complimented.
I soon make a note of abusing that weakness in the future to make it gives me even more ground-breaking abilities
"Alright" I whispered, a smile on my face "To my next destination: The Schnee Town"
<><><><><><><><><><><>
"Ow" Ruby woke up
And the first thing she felt is pain
"Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow" Her body felt like a can of Cola being shook to the point of nearly bursting open. Blood vessels burning inside her clearly indicates to the fact that Ruby had clearly surpassed her limit in that last battle
Her head cleared up a little
Wait, the battle
"The battle has ended long ago" Her head whipped to the side, where her mother Summer is sipping hot tea in a corner "Just rest for now, Ruby. You've done well"
"R-rest? How did the match go?" She tried to speak through raspy voice "Who won? And how long was I out?"
"Calm down. You've been only unconscious for about two hours. That's shorter than I expected" Once again, Summer took a sip of her tea "And to answer your question, the result of the match was...Yang's win"
"Both of you went down at the same time on the final strike, which was when the third law come into use: whoever get up first will be the winner" Another sip "Due to her high stamina and endurance, your sister only took a few seconds to regain her bearings"
A thick silence descended upon them. Yang winning against her means that she now holds no obligation to return here, which means she will no longer be able to see her sister again. For Ruby, this is devastating news
"Ah, I lost. I lost against her" Ruby's hand tightened around the sheet of her futon "I lost...."
Weak, she's still too weak. If only she has listened to (Y/n) and practiced seriously, maybe if she has tried just a little harder, endure it just a little longer
Perhaps then, Ruby wouldn't have lost
"Yeah, you lost against me you little punk" A satisfied voice sounded out behind Ruby, making her turn her head around
"Wait...Yang? Yang! Why are you still here?!"
"Well originally I was supposed to return back to Raven to continue my training with her" She downed the entire tea cup in one gulp, said liquid dropped down from her mouth
Summer's glassy silver eyes frowned at her daughter for such an improper way of enjoying tea
Said frown turned into a hostile glare when Yang slammed the teacup to the wooden floor like a drunkard
"But let's just say I've taken an interest in this (Y/n) fellow. If he can turn such a weakling like you into a somewhat decent swordsman, I think he'll be able to train me too, don't you think?" She happily declared while cackling
"So from now on, consider me to be a part of this dojo again. I won't be joining the old man, but rather practice with you and him!" A smirk formed on her face
"And considering that (Y/n) is more of a Taijutsu expert than he is Kenjutsu, perhaps I will be able to learn more from him than you?"
Ruby should have been happy that Yang decided to stay here
But somehow, now there was only worry and a tint of envy weighing in her mind
<><><><><><><><><><><>
Author's Note: So...you'll forgive me if I say I have no idea how to make this works. Apparently nobody has bothered to do these kind of fics before
This is an AU story. One that was set in Feudal Japan. There's literally no historical references for me to look up aside from those Edo period entries on Wikipedia before crossing them up with the RWBYverse
And let's admit it. Even though I tried so hard, the idea of an Alternate Universe combined with the Gamer and Isekai genre is a recipe for disaster. I have to try my hardest not to make you guys confused, and even then there's still people who has no clue what's going on between the paragraphs
Now I know why nobody do AU stories, the world-building required for it is insane
