RWBY: The Gamer Chapter 10

'Fuck, I'm poor!'

I'm currently in a Bullhead that's going to the city, and have realized a problem.

'I can't just keep using dull knives from beowolves! Dammit, I'm gonna need to rob someone, won't I... huh, maybe I should just go back and rob Weiss...'

The Bullhead lands and I walk out, 'Who should I rob? They should be someone I won't feel bad about robbing, like...like...the White Fang! I'm gonna rob the fucking White Fang tonight!'

I start walking, then stop, 'Where the fuck is the White Fang? Hm...'

~Transition~

'Maybe here?'

I'm currently in an abandoned part of the city, looking through all of the buildings hoping to find some White Fang.

'Fuck, still nothing,' I move on to the next building and start spinning a knife around, 'I at least need a mask so that I can rob some other dude, but what mask could I possible ge—...I know.'

~Transition~

'Perfect,' I've just finished dumpster diving, and have found the things I need... a paper lunch bag and a marker.

'Now, just gotta...' I write "Tuesday" on the bag with it upright, then put it on my head.

'Even got the upside down Tuesd-...does Remnant have the same weekdays as Earth? Fuck, if it doesn't then it won't make sense to have it written... meh, doesn't matter.'

Dark Vision

'Dark Vision is—...is it even Dark Vision? I mean, it works the same as the one in the game, but the Outsider's Mark doesn't register it. Is it because I didn't actually do a condition? Or is it because the Outsider's Mark is in my eye, so it just automatically allows me to do it...speaking of eyes, I wonder if there's void relics here.'

I look around for cameras and see none, then prepare to walk out of the alleyway...before remembering something.

*squelch*

My nails sharpen and I slash my tails off, which go into my inventory, and I then cut my wolf ears off, which also go into my inventory. 'Good.' I put the bag back onto my head then walk out of the alleyway, 'Now, it's time to rob someone!'

~~~

I've found a small place named "Cernnunos' Shop," and have been meditating for a couple minutes wondering how to rob it.

'Ok, so I don't need to steal too much. I want a Folding Blade and a Twin-Bladed dagger, and that's it. It shouldn't cost that much...maybe. Dammit, I don't know this shit! ...Fuck it, I'm just gonna take everything,' I get up and walk into the shop...to see that it's nearly empty and has weird music playing.

...

'What.'

"H-Hello!" A stag faunus with bags under his eyes appears in front of me, "Are you here to buy anything?"

I motion to my paper bag, 'C'mon...what do you think of my disguise?'

...

"O—Oh I'm sorry, do you need help seeing what's for sale? Or did you lose your parents? Or is your face disfigured?!"

...

'I feel insulted about the parents comment, but I can't deny that I'm short... why not pretend to be blind? Surprise him!'

I move my arms in front of me and start feeling the air while walking straight, 'Hm, I could actually fake being blind since Dark Vision can be permanently active...'

"H-Here..." He grabs onto my arm and leads me to a weapon rack.

'Why is he leading a child to a weapon's wra—what.' I see a crystal sitting in a glass container that's flashing purple.

"I-I...we have a few simple handgu—"

"What's that weird music?" I inquire, heightening my voice.

He flinches and notices where I'm looking, turning to the crystal, which has stopped flashing and is just slowly turning purple. "O-Oh, that? It's...um...something my dad gave me, they sometimes change colors...I have a lot of them in a storage room, though most of them are already colore..."

"Why is it on display?" I start walking towards it, hands feeling the air for something. 'Faking this would be much easier if I just had a cane.'

"They're mainly just for decoration, but some people buy them thinking they're dust crystals."

I put my hand on the glass casing and the crystal becomes fully purple, "Do you not tell them that it isn't a dust crystal?"

"O-Of course I do! It's just... they think I'm lying, so they buy it anyway..." Half of the crystal slowly starts going a deeper purple and I nod.

'So they get scammed because they assumed they were being scammed?' "Is the crystal changing colors right now?" The half ends up turning completely black, and the middle starts burning.

He nods, "It's... um...what?" A red Outsider's Mark starts getting burnt into the crystal, and he quickly runs over to me and gets my hand off of the case.

"it's never done this before..." He whispers and I just keep looking at the crystal.

'Alexa, that's a Kyber Crystal, right?'

[Yes.]

'Good.' The Outsider's Mark finishes up and the entire crystal starts glowing, 'Mn? Wait, wha—'

shatter

The glass falls apart, the crystal now hovering above its pedestal.

...

'Well, that's not a good thing...' I push the stag faunus away and walk towards the crystal, 'and that's a good thing.'

I touch the crystal and it stops glowing...then, as expected, suddenly immensely brightens up.

...

'Welp,'

*BLAST*

The paper bag gets blasted off of my head, my eyes staring at the crystal, and my faunus features pop up.

'looks like my arsenal will consist of a lightsaber.'

*thud*

I fall onto the ground, eyes closed, looking at the crystal, 'A triple colored Kyber Crystal? What kind of lightsaber will I be making with this?' I look to the stag faunus, who's currently staring at me incredulously, "Can I have this?"

He just nods and a knife appears in my hand, "Thank you." 'Not sure if I should,' I cut my hand open and throw the crystal into the air, 'but I will.'

I splatter my blood over the crystal and it freezes mid-air, then of course the Outsider's Mark on it starts glowing. 'This will be painful,' I get up and walk to the crystal, the Outsider's Mark getting brighter the closer I get, 'but mainly because of how disgusting it's gonna be.'

The Outsider's Mark disappears from the crystal and appears in front of my left eye.

...

'Connect me to the Force.'

*squelch*

It goes into my eye and I fall onto the ground, with the crystal going back to being colorless and falling. 'FUCK,' I quickly grab the crystal with my tails, hands still on my eye. 'That hurt! I didn't even know Kyber Crystals worked that way! In fact, I'm pretty sure they don't!'

The crystal disappears into my inventory and my tails go around my eyes, 'Fuck, I'm gonna actually have to pretend to be blind now!' I turn to the stag faunus, who is still staring at me incredulously. "I got what I wanted." 'None of this shit was planned, I just wanted to rob someone! Not become a fucking padawan! Am I even ALLOWED to rob someone now?! Will the crystal deny me or some shit if I rob someone?'

I walk over to my paper bag and pick it up, 'I'll tape you up later on.' It disappears into my inventory and I start walking out of the store, "I'll probably come here again." 'Meh, might as well make the Jedi a real faction...how do padawans train? I don't know how to make a lightsaber! DAMMIT, I NEED RUBY! AND A MASTER! Fuck! And FUCK! It's cold!'

My hands go into my pockets and I Blink to the top of the building, 'Dammit, too much shit has happened tonight, and I still need a weapon! The Kyber Crystal still needs to be fed the Force to be useful, it was only colored before because the Outsider's Mark on it for some reason connected it to the Force.'

'Fuck, ok, I still need to fuck with the White Fang, which for SOME REASON isn't a quest! What the fuck, Alexa?! Why isn't this a quest!'

[The gods don't think it's important enough to be one.]

'And why isn't there a quest to feed the crystal the Force?'

[Because you haven't started to do so yet.]

...

'Fuck you too, Alexa... and since when did you become google?'

[Since the recent update.]

'Hm...did the update happen to include blueprints? Because I have no idea how a Folding Blade actually works.'

[Yes.]

...

'For real?'

[Yes.]

'How much does a Folding Blade blueprint cost?'

[1,000 Lien.]

...

'That's super cheap.'

[It's a relatively simple blueprint.]

'That's fair... hey, can you play the Avenue Q soundtrack? AND KNOW THAT EVERYTHING I WANT TO LISTEN TO IS FROM EARTH!'

*ding!*

Blood Destruction

'Nice, I got my own assistant now...' I start spinning a knife around while also starting to jump across the rooftops, 'I need another thing to hide my fa—...what's watching me?'

I skid to a halt and start looking around, 'Is The Rake about to fuck my shit up? Hm...maybe this would be a good time to see what the Force is all about.' I start extending my senses, 'The Force is in every living thing, therefore if you're sensitive to it, you can sense living beings...like a sensor ninja from Naruto.'

...

Everything slows down and I step to the side, narrowly dodging a blue lightsaber. '...What?' I quickly bend backwards, once again narrowly dodging the lightsaber. 'I'm glad my transformation made me more flexible...and since when were lightsabers a thing in Remnant?'

My tails unwrap from my head and I look to where the lightsaber went back to, 'Dark Vision strangely can't see them, even when it makes the darkness disappear...'

I turn dark vision off and see a robed person standing in front of me, then everything turns upside down. 'I didn't know I was in Doctor Strange.' Once I fall off of the building's roof everything turns sideways, and I land on a window.

'Seriously, am I in Doctor Strange?' I start looking around when a lightsaber gets thrown at me, and I grab it. 'Blue again.'

*Bark!*

I see a beowolf running towards me, when everything goes dark. 'A blindfold?'

Dark Vision

I still see darkness.

...

'The fuck?'

*Ba—*

Everything goes silent, and I bite my lip, feeling pain. 'Oh, so this is actually happe-' The beowolf bites my leg, '...This is gonna be annoying.' I slash the beowolf with the lightsaber and start extending my senses again, 'I thought I was supposed to be blocking laser beams, not killing Grimm.'

I stomp the window under me and it shatters, making me fall into the building. 'The Force isn't enough,' My aura surrounds me and I focus on it, trying to feel everything it's covering...meaning me. 'Fuck, this is like counting dust...' I start counting everything I can feel. Every strand of hair, every crevice in my skin, every fiber in my clothing... all that shit.

'I must take advantage of the fact that the Force allows me to feel everyone...fuck, that sounds wrong. Hm, do Grimm even have the Force? I mean, they're soulless, but the Force isn't the soul, it's just something all living beings have. It connects the galaxy or some shit...' A beowolf bites my arm and I just stab it with my claws, 'I didn't know being unable to see or hear would be this annoying...especially when there's soulless monsters trying to kill you. Actually, there aren't even that many, but eh.'

...

'Dammit, this is so boring. Why is counting so boring? Alexa, you MUST have a solution for this!'

[Bend Time.]

...

'Dammit, right, should've thought of that...'

Bend Time

The darkness disappears and I show up on the roof again, the robed person just sitting on the ledge. 'It was an illusion, so stopping time would...well...stop it. Fuck, can I also do that for Emerald and Neo? FUCK YEAH! Wait, shit!'

Blood Destruction

I start throwing knives at the robed person, hoping to break his concentration once time starts moving again. 'Don't wanna immediately go back into there once Bend Time ends...' Unexpectedly, or probably expectedly, the knives stop midair.

'He's immune to Bend Time? BULLSHIT!' I quickly dash over to him and look intently, but nothing is moving. 'Oh, it's the Force that's doing that.' The crystal appears in my hand and I throw it at him.

*squelch*

It hits and the knives continue moving forward, one of them stabbing into their leg. 'Fuck, did I not pray to the RNG hard enough?' Time starts moving again and the robed figure slashes their lightsaber where the knives previously were.

...

..—

"NANI?!" The figure immediately takes out the knife and takes off their robe, covering the wound with it, while my eye twitches.

'Did they just say nani? And what's with the delayed reaction?!' My incisors pop out and I look at them with irritation, "The f...what's your problem?" 'I get that you're probably gonna be my master or some shit, but I'm busy with Beacon and robbing the White Fang right now, so fuck off!'

"agh...What?" They look at me, revealing dark green eyes. "I sensed a disturbance in the Force!"

...

"Do you know anyone named Uaine?" I look at their short green hair, and quirk a brow. 'I mean, it's not like green hair is all that uncommon in Remnant, but I now know that the gods are fucking with me, so can never be too carful.'

They start adjusting their tie while looking at me, "What did you do to disturb the Force?"

I look at him, "What's the Force?"

"Do not play games with me! What did you do to disturb the Force?!" They walk up to me and stare at my eyes, 'Woah there, bitch, you're the one who put me in an illusion and gave me a lightsaber! Don't ask me how I disturbed the Force!'

I point at my left eye and stare at them, "Does it have something to do with this?"

They slap me and I hear Alexa gasp, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO DISTURB THE FORCE?!"

...

"Your leg is bleeding." 'Alexa has a personality? Didn't know that... AND THIS MOTHERFUCKING SONOFABITCH!'

They look at me with rage, then simply walk back to the ledge while dusting off their grey three-piece suit. "You're coming with me, and you won't be coming back unless you tell me why and how you disturbed the Force."

...

'Fine...bitch...' "You know this is kind of a kidnapping, yes?" 'But I still won't give in without a fight!' They don't bother looking back and simply stand on the ledge, "Do you think I care?"

'I'd assume so, since it's kind of illegal.' "Meh, it was worth a shot..." I also walk to the ledge, standing next to them. 'I'm adapting to the Remna—...this lifestyle way faster than I should, but I'll just say it's the system's fault.'

[It is not, it was done by the gods so that they wouldn't have to watch you have a mental breakdown.]

'That's fair.' "So..." 'Wait shit.' I jump off the ledge and get my crystal, then Blink back up to them. "I'm good now. So...how're we doing this?" The crystal disappears into my inventory and they look at me. "You will tell me how you acquired a Kyber Crystal later, but to answer your question...we're going to my house."

...

"This is definitely illegal..."

"It is not if it's for a righteous reason!" They grab onto me and jump off of the ledge, everything once again rotating side ways, this time with a white screen floating in the air.

"But how do you know it's for a righteous reason?" 'Let go of me! You're the same height as Ruby, for fucks sake!'

...

They ignore me and start swiping their hand on the screen, making images of buildings appear on and off of it. 'I don't believe this is part of the Force, so I'll assume it's their semblance.'

Their hand stops on an image of a giant white expensive looking house, and I blink. 'So they're a Hunter?' They pull me into the picture and we fall onto a giant white bed. 'Huh, this bed is pretty bi—...is that a bra?'

I'm currently looking at a small black bra that's hanging off the edge of the bed, 'Huh... now either he has a carefree wife, or he's a she...he's probably a she.'

The now known she pulls me up and brings me to the door, simply tossing aside all of the dirty clothing. 'Is everything here other than her clothing white? And why is her clothing everywhere? And why are they all 3-piece grey suits?'

"You will be answering my questions," The door automatically opens, revealing an elevator, "and staying with me."

'For some strange reason, I'd rather go through with this than stay in a room with that nurse for 1 minute.' "Can you stop dragging me?"

She drags me into the elevator and taps a button, "I am simply making sure you won't escape."

'I still feel better about this than staying in a room with that nurse for 1 minute.' She looks at my right eye, "Something is restricting your power." Her hand comes up to my eye and I freeze.

'Why can't I move?'

*flash*

My right eye becomes...actually, nothing changes. "I've done what I can."

...

'What the fuck did she do? And since when was the Outsider's Mark a living being? AND WHY THE FUCK DID SHE DO THAT? Am I really so important to the point that she'd make me more powerful when we met only a couple minutes ago?!'

*ding!*

[Your Outsider's Mark has become partially unlocked, 6 new unique powers now being available to you. As a reward, you will be given +1,000 maximum mana capacity. It is up to you to find out what the powers are, as they will not show up in the skill's description. I will still be able to give you information about the powers, but only after you have discovered them.]

'...All I wanted to do is rob someone! Why did I suddenly get a buff?!' "Thank you."

She looks at me, "So you know the Force."

"Nah, I don't." 'What, was that Kyber Crystal the first multi-colored Kyber Crystal ever? Is that why there was a disturbance?'

...

*ding!*

'Alexa?'

[That was the elevator.]

'Oh.' She drags me out of the elevator, which for some reason leads to a fully white giant living room. 'Wow, why is she so goddamn rich? And why is everything STILL WHITE?'

We go down the staircase and she drags me to the couch, sits down...then puts me on her lap.

...

'Jesus fucking Christ I hate Remnant...'

I simply accept my fate, and wait for her to ask a question. "How did you obtain that crystal?"

"Well," I sigh, "first I need to ask you something."

...

"You may."

'Jesus Christ her voice is so blank! Like a robot or some shit! Is her favorite ice flavor vanilla?! DOES REMNANT EVEN HAVE ICE CREAM?!? I mean, Neo is based off ice cream, but that doesn't mean ice cream actually exists here!' "I need to ask you...do you know the muffin man?"

"The muffin man?"

I nod, "The muffin man!"

...

"Yes, I believe I have heard of the muffin man...who lives on Drury Lane?" She asks with a completely serious voice, and I struggle holding back my laughter. 'Holy shit, there's actually a muffin man who lives on Drury Lane here?'

"Well...I got it from the muffin man."

"The muffin man?!"

"THE MUFFIN MAN!"

"You got the crystal from the muffin man..."

...

"Ok nah, I got it from this small place named 'Cernunnos' Shop.' The guy there said he has a lot more of them, and he usually has one displayed at all times."

"Cernunnos?"

"Yeah, he was this stuttering stag faunus...you know him?" I inquire, and she starts scratching my tails. 'Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking hell that feels weird. Not in a lewd way, but...like how a dog probably feels when you scratch behind it's ears...'

"I have read about the name 'Cernunnos' many times in my life, however I don't believe we're talking about the same one...do you happen to know how he acquired the crystals?"

"Meh," I shrug, "he said his father gave them to him."

...

"I suppose we are not talking about the same one..."

'Sounds disappointed about that.' "What's next in this interrogation?"

She stops scratching my tails...then starts stroking them. 'I AM NOT YOUR PET, WOMA-'

Yip

...

'What.'

"Why, and how, did you disturb the Force?"

"Well, fi—yip!"

...

Yip

...

'Alexa, the fuck is happening?!'

[You are "yipping" from the delight of her strokes.]

'BULLSHIT!'

Yip

...

'Fuck you, Alexa!'

[First you'd have to get me a body.]

'I'm 13!'

[And I'm 1.]

...

Yip

...

'Fu—Damn you, Alexa...damn you...'

Yip

'Can you make me stop making that noise?'

*ding!*

[No "thank you"?]

'You don't deserve a fucking thank you...'

[And you don't deserve a fucking.]

'I swear to the gods that I'll make you a body just to destroy it.'

[Oh~?]

'I'm seriously done with your shit... I'm turning you off.'

[Don't you mean on?]

*ding!*

...

[What happened?]

'So it was my goddamn plot armor!' Red starts leaking out of my body and the marks glow. 'There's no doubt about it, he's dying before Sa—'

Yip

...

'I thought you turned it off, Alexa!'

[I cannot turn it off.]

'Dammit!'

[Sir, you can wake up now.]

'What're you talking about?' Everything turns upside down and I notice that I was sitting on my consciousnesses' bed the entire time. 'What?'

'View'

*zwip*

~~~

Yip

I look around and notice that I'm back in the bedroom, on the bed...with the woman...who's holding me... and stroking my tails...while asleep.

...

'If this were any other situation, I'd feel embarrassed. But as it isn't any other situation, I'm just pissed off!'

Yip

'Alexa, what the fuck happened?'

...

[The logs say that your "plot armor," as you call it, took control of the system and forcefully made you unconscious, as well as skipping 1 hour.]

'AN HOUR?! Fuck! Now I need to get a Folding Blade, tape, rob the White Fang, something to cover my eyes, and get back to Beacon, in like 6 hours! Sadly, they aren't in the same order, because then I wouldn't need to rob the White Fang!' I struggle to get out of her hold, and just give up after 15 seconds.

Yip

'Dammit...Alexa, my Outsider's Mark is partially unlocked now, yes?'

[Yes.]

'With my own unique abilities?'

[Yes.]

'Can I use them?'

[Yes.]

'Can you tell me how?'

[No.]

'Fuck, I can't even Blink to get out!'

Yip

'Hm...what would help me...'

Rearrange

*zwip*

My soul pops out of my body and time stops. 'Huh, this is like Foresight...' I hover over to her arm and go into it, the arm moving off of me. 'It's like I'm controlling my own arm...neat.' I pop back into my body and get up from the bed, 'Shit, ok, it's like possession, just more specific and overall better...well, accept for the probable cost. Alexa?'

[80%.]

'Fuuucking hell thats a lot.'

Dark Vision

'Now...how the hell am I gonna get out of here?'
