Thanks to the extensive work leon did during these two weeks he finally wasn't needed to oversee vales infrastructure anymore and finally got the chance to relax. "you know you could have visited sooner right?" he asked while laying in bed covered in sweat with a equally sweaty blonde draped over his chest. "you were busy fixing the city , i could wait." glenda said honestly. "i'll be leaving s...
2023-01-08 20:11:59 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a peaceful night two days into the new month when all of Alex's scales stood up as he physically felt zorah magdaros draw near. Apparently as the huge elder walked under the sea it's fiery aura was hidden very well by the layers of water , but when it started to get too shallow the aura started to leak out of the water and Alex could feel it. It was the feeling you get when you stand at ...
2023-01-08 01:54:26 +0000 UTC View PostLeon walked up to the office area with a focused expression and a firm gait so no one tried to stop him for a chat even if a few looked like they wanted to. leon opened the thick door to the office and walked in with zeke "good to see you eric , i think you should get up , i have work to do." he said seriously. "just keeping the seat warm for you boss , do you need a run down?" eric asked while...
2023-01-07 19:41:52 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day astera received the news that the fifth fleet would set sail at the end of the month at the same time zorah magdaros hit's the sea for it's own journey. This wasn't good news for Alex as it meant he needed to ramp up his efforts to gain traits and grow again. While Alex didn't remember a huge deal of details about the main story of the game he did know that powerful monsters would ...
2023-01-06 23:25:05 +0000 UTC View PostAfter graduating from beacon zeke sought out methods to perfect his stealth and recon abilities but ignored his combat capabilities causing them to become very rusty. this is not to say that this was an incorrect choice since not everyone can juggle the balance between two different hunter types. zeke traded his combat ability for mastery over all things stealth related , this changed however w...
2023-01-06 20:08:46 +0000 UTC View PostAlex dragged the shark corpse up the stairs to the canteen getting a few looks from the people he passed but nobody said anything. The head chef gave Alex an exasperated look as he saw the six foot long shark in his jaws. Despite the headache that came with Alex always challenging him to make good food with the strangest ingredients the head chef was equally thrilled at furthering his culinary ...
2023-01-05 21:35:13 +0000 UTC View PostBesides the paperwork necessary to be a functioning person in society there was absolutely nothing anywhere regarding leon. what was most frustrating for theodore was that ozpin somehow managed to get leon certified as a hunter without including the details of his semblance in the documents. the only information about the semblance was that it was called vampire , but as for how it actually fun...
2023-01-05 18:49:33 +0000 UTC View PostAlex woke up in a fine mood the next day after leveling up all of those traits as he started shedding his scales for a new set in the middle of the night. The new scales looked the same except in truth they were ever so slightly denser which increased the defenses provided by them considerably. Roya was thrilled to collect the shed scales for testing since it would finally allow her to make so ...
2023-01-04 19:38:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe world had very mixed reactions to the mile wide hell fire detonation when the people who had gotten rid of the grim in vale and were repairing the city saw the massive mushroom cloud of fire from where beacon sat. most people were of the hope that the authorities had finally made a move to kill the wyvern and grim that had nested there. those sharp eyed enough noticed that the flames were t...
2023-01-04 18:15:43 +0000 UTC View PostOnce he had his game plan set Alex had gotten into the habit of downing a max potion every few hours in order to give his body time to digest it. If he was injured his body would naturally digest the helpful stuff much faster , however self mutilation was a little too far when it wasn't necessary for Alex. That said he was still making good progress on the trait as each day that passed he was a...
2023-01-03 17:53:05 +0000 UTC View Post"I get it , but damn if it didn't feel like you were about to take my head off." qrow said honestly while stopping the shaking of his hands. "i tried so hard to prevent the exact thing that ended up happening so i am ever so slightly ABSOLUTELY VIVID at the person behind it." leon said putting a dark emphasis on two of the words. "Yeah i can tell , but anyways the security cameras you installed...
2023-01-03 17:48:26 +0000 UTC View PostUnfortunately alex learned that while it seemed the system he had didn't actually have limits as he grew more and more the requirements to go further would also increase proportionally. The requirement to grow once again had increased to fifty traits or trait levels , which was five higher than the first two growths. If this was the start of a pattern then Alex knew he would quickly find himsel...
2023-01-02 20:59:53 +0000 UTC View Post"It's those eyes , they are part of her aura and make her subconsciously act a certain way. i have been trying to figure out how to remove their influence on her safely but i have had no such luck." leon said seriously. "I thought so , speaking of eyes i noticed the creepy skeleton thing you summoned , susanoo i believe you called it , want to talk about it?" qrow asked casually. leon sighed " ...
2023-01-02 19:30:56 +0000 UTC View PostTwo weeks had passed since that meeting and a few thing had happened during that time. First was that Roya had stuck to Alex like a second shadow whenever possible even going so far as to be wearing a swim suit on under her clothes at all times in case he decided to go swimming. Despite her constant presence she wasn't actually all that invasive of his privacy tending instead to follow him arou...
2023-01-02 00:38:48 +0000 UTC View PostRegrowing his wings and tail was a short affair that leon completed while eating his sandwich with genesis's help. regrowing the tail was especially difficult as leon needed to sever the base of his spine where the thing was attached originally. still despite the trouble it took to have it back leon was happy being whole again. once he was returned to his peak state "good as new" as it were leo...
2023-01-01 23:13:38 +0000 UTC View Post[Paralysis resistance] was gained when Alex ate the bright yellow and blue toad found in the center of the area much to the admirals horror. Had it not been for the level 2 [omnivore] trait making any organic thing safe to eat Alex would have been in for a bad time which he was aware of. [Enhanced ears] however came from the pilot hares that could be found around in the underbrush. they were od...
2022-12-31 21:54:30 +0000 UTC View PostLeon's first victim was a beowolf that didn't even have time to react before it's skull was pierced through. the lifeforce that leon got from it was easily equal to three trees proving how much more effective this method was in comparison. for the next four hours leon thinned the grim population in the surrounding few miles to almost nothing. during this time he had cut off the nub of his left ...
2022-12-31 19:27:02 +0000 UTC View Post'The power of an elder dragon and the mind of a hunter' the admiral shivered in excitement at the thought. 'We still don't know what part of the world he will effect however' the man thought with a frown. Alex's appearance left the people of astera with the false impression that he was an elder dragon of some kind. Without exception every elder dragon embodied an aspect of the natural world eve...
2022-12-30 21:32:27 +0000 UTC View PostAfter devouring the lifeforce of thirty four different trees leon decided he had enough stored away to regrow his legs at the very least. "oi genesis , get over here and help me out for a minute!" he called out getting the nearby genesis's attention. the dragon sauntered over lazily while making sure leon saw him yawn. leon's eyebrow twitched in irritation but he didn't say anything about his f...
2022-12-30 19:00:16 +0000 UTC View Post"Look , I'm out here following you around so the least you could do would be to play along" the man said honestly. 'didn't you volunteer to be here?' Alex thought and the look he gave the admiral made these thoughts clear. "Yeah yeah I know I brought this on myself , still could you at least try and keep me entertained?" The admiral asked with a grin. Alex sighed before trying to smack the admi...
2022-12-28 22:28:25 +0000 UTC View Post"Honestly the kids semblance feels like cheating half the time." qrow said calmly. "what do you mean? he told us that he had regenerated an arm once but even that seems small compared to his current injuries." weiss said confused. "oh yeah , i know that story too but the version he gave you was the watered down version. see what had actually happened was that during that ambush he was cut in ha...
2022-12-28 20:28:18 +0000 UTC View Post'I assumed I would be protected if I mentioned wanting to head out but this is ridiculous!' Alex complained mentally as he walked out of astera with the admiral himself walking alongside him. How this had happened was that the next day after Alex planned his hunting trip he had gone to the fleet commander to try and convince the to allow him to head into the ancient forest. The admiral happened...
2022-12-27 23:22:21 +0000 UTC View PostLeon only had enough lifeforce left over to regenerate his torso and organs after the huge consumption of his sharingan had drained away the majority. thankfully the mangekyou reverted back to the three tomoe state removing the drain on his life force. unfortunately the emptiness of his reserves meant that the less important injuries such as his limbs and the concussion that rendered him uncons...
2022-12-27 21:13:10 +0000 UTC View Post[Fire resistance] did not level up at all from being in the smithy for a week after that likely because he was entirely unaffected by the high temperature of the air alone. This left Alex with a dilemma as he had a sneaking suspicion that the trait would require him to actually physically get into contact with literal fire. Alex was , understandably , quite reluctant to do such a thing. This le...
2022-12-27 02:52:13 +0000 UTC View Post"RUN JAMES!" ozpin yelled before putting up a greenish glowing barrier , just in time too as cinder flooded the area with fire putting the power of a maiden on full display. ironwood wasted no time fleeing through the escape tunnel while ozpin held back cinder. the man knew that unlike ozpin if he died there was no coming back for him. "she told me so much about you , how you would likely act d...
2022-12-27 00:43:09 +0000 UTC View PostAlex could only curse his own impatience and strain the new muscles to pull his wings flat against his body. Like all muscles Alex knew he would need to exercise the wings in order to get into flying condition. While disappointing it wasn't a big deal for Alex since as a monster his growth was much faster than a persons would be normally. The incredible ability to heal quickly from injuries mea...
2022-12-24 22:19:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe grim were an odd bunch of creatures who didn't act in the same way any other animal did as far as aging was concerned. most creatures reach maturity and then barring a few exceptions , stop growing. the grim completely ignore this as a whole and instead grow larger and more powerful as time goes one and even more unfairly is that they are biologically immortal. they don't "age" as it were a...
2022-12-24 20:07:17 +0000 UTC View PostThe requirement to unlock this trait was downright irritating for Alex however as he needed to consume the wings of twenty different things. So far Alex had only come across ten different things with wings and half that number was insects alone. It was not that odd how this world had a severe shortage of birds considering the skies were dominated by huge flying reptiles with bad attitudes. Any ...
2022-12-23 21:52:00 +0000 UTC View PostLeon dashed across the open field as fast as he could and right before he hit the hoard he leaped into the air and pushed his susanoo to its limit. first the rib cage and spine formed followed by the arms , legs and head. unlike most susanoo's however two the skull of leons had two horns from the start. soon red energy flesh crept over the entire giant skeleton followed by a thick scaled armor ...
2022-12-23 19:46:40 +0000 UTC View PostAlex woke up in a good mood the next day , how could he not when he was already getting close to growing larger again. The requirement to grow bigger this time was to have thirty traits or to level up traits for the equivalent of one less needed trait. With every level beyond the first as well as the number of traits he had alex merely needed eleven more traits or levels to grow again. Once he ...
