A Nevermore let out a loud screech as it flew through the darkened skies. On the ground below, Goliaths roamed unhindered. Black pools of a tar like substance bubbled as a newly born Beowolf slowly crawled out, coated in Grimm essence.
The Dark Continent was absolutely filled with Grimm. To venture inland was certain death for even the most skilled Huntsman, not that anyone would want to ...
2024-09-30 04:58:13 +0000 UTC View PostI slowly walked through the destroyed clearing, taking in each mark that the Genin teams had left. Funnily enough, the Genin who had the most potential to destroy the clearing had been Tenten of all people.
That final weapon of hers was something else in terms of sheer destructive capability.
The air rippled as Tsunade appeared in the clearing, followed by Gai, Asuma and finally Kur...
2024-09-27 05:19:06 +0000 UTC View PostA steaming cup of hot coco warmed Ozpin’s hands as he poured over the numerous laws of Remnant, many of which he had written himself. Finding the law in question, the one that Coal had informed him about, he let out a sigh. It was just as Jacques Schnee had said.
Coal Calavera now legally owned a portion of Anima.
It was likely that Jacques Schnee wasn’t the only one to realize ...
2024-09-23 05:24:33 +0000 UTC View PostThe sound of paper being shuffled around and an occasional thud sounded through the office as Tsunade silently regarded the trio of Jonin standing in front of her desk.
“Relations with Suna are fragile as it stands, disregarding the threat of the Akatsuki,” Tsunade hummed, locking her fingers together. “These next Chunin exams are going to be more dangerous than usual. If you wish t...
2024-09-20 05:17:40 +0000 UTC View PostA loud clang of metal striking metal sounded through the training room as I blocked Pyrrha’s blow. With a shove, I pushed her spear back, only for her to rapidly spin around, her weapon morphing back into its sword form as she attempted to land a strike on the other side of my body.
Stepping back, I casually avoided Pyrrha’s sword.
Using the Transparent world, I could observe ho...
2024-09-16 05:29:32 +0000 UTC View PostI sat with my arms across my chest and my eyes narrowed in concentration as my attention was spread out across in nine different directions. Taking a slow deep breath, I reached forward and grabbed a cup of tea that had been placed in front of me.
“Don’t you think you’re going a little too far?” Samui asked simply. “Even this might be a little too much for you.”
“I’v...

And I immediately began tuning out the news report. It wasn’t anything I hadn’t heard before, at this point they were mainly speculating on what would happen next, ranging from Robyn Hil...
2024-09-09 05:08:32 +0000 UTC View PostI sat, cross legged on a stone slab that was balanced precariously on one of the Genbu’s spikes. Samui stood on an adjacent spike, not looking very impressed with me. In my defense, I was bored and there wasn’t much to do on the Island.
I couldn’t practice using some of my more destructive Jutsu for fear of hurting Genbu. My physical training came to a halt as the weights were left ...
2024-09-06 05:16:04 +0000 UTC View Post“Lien for your thoughts?” Ozpin asked, lightly tapping his cane on the ground. “You’ve got the look that I’ve seen many times throughout my life. The look of someone torn between doing something great or terrible.”
Ironwood sighed while leaning his elbow on his desk, slumping forward. “Is it that obvious?”
“It’s not your appearance, but how you appear to be copin...
2024-09-02 05:13:46 +0000 UTC View PostI let out a grunt as I clutched the extremely heavy dumbbells to my chest. Squatting down, my muscles burned and my legs shook with exertion as I stood back up again.
“W…what number am I on?” I breathed heavily.
“You’ve got two more squats to go,” Samui replied easily.
Nodding, I completed two more squats before letting out a relieved sigh and moved to drop the wei...
2024-08-30 05:12:05 +0000 UTC View PostI sat leaned forward, holding the half skull mask that Maria gifted me on the day of the Mistral tournament. The world pulsed and I briefly peered through the metal, seeing the inner workings of my hands before my vision returned to normal.
“You seem to find that mask interesting,” Ozpin noted. “I admit, I too find it interesting. That mask resembles one that a Huntress that’s no ...
2024-08-26 05:35:50 +0000 UTC View PostI awoke with a jolt. My eyes darted around the room and I began to prepare myself for an attack before relaxing. I was still getting used to my surroundings.
“Right,” I muttered to myself. “I’m in Kumo.”
Staying in Kumo had been different from what I was used to. I’d already ventured out into the village a few times with Mabui as my escort, the civilians regarded me with...
2024-08-23 04:47:03 +0000 UTC View PostAsh from the now dead ancient Grimm and smoke from a few small fires blotted out the sky surrounding the now broken dam, making it harder for the pilots of a military Bullhead to see.
Circling around the still decaying carcass of the Grimm, the pilots caught sight of their objective and brought the Bullhead down, landing it with a soft thump.
Nearly a dozen soldiers poured out formi...
2024-08-19 05:04:28 +0000 UTC View Post“Well,” Jiraiya began. “It seems that this is as far as I can go.”
I stopped in my tracks and turned back to him. The fog had grown so thick on the mountain that, if I was to take a few more steps forward, I wouldn’t have been able to see him. “Weren’t you supposed to escort me into Kumo?”
“Just to the gate,” Jiraiya replied.
The gate? I turned back around ...
2024-08-16 05:19:42 +0000 UTC View PostThe dam groaned loudly as it began to slowly break apart. Numerous cracks began to form with high pressured jets of water spraying out, helping speed up the rate at which it broke apart. A large chunk of debris broke free and hit the ground with a loud thump as a wave of water followed it.
I silently stood nearby, watching it all happen. My fight with Tyrian and Hazel was over, I should l...

“It’s a civilian office supply store,” I replied.
Fu buzzed with enthusiasm as she bounced from store to store, shooting the briefest of glances in before she rushed to the next one. It had been like this ever since she had been released fro...
2024-08-09 04:58:58 +0000 UTC View PostThe train station was packed with people rushing off to the various platforms. There was only one set of train tracks that led into Argus, but, from my understanding, that track branched off into several different sets at some point outside of the city.
Trains had a very strict schedule for when they left and when they arrived to avoid any accidental collisions. The only time there would ...

“We are here on official business,” the disguised Kakashi explained. “If we weren’t, we wouldn’t have been let past the…”
“And we’re supposed to take you at your word?” Neji cut in. “Which is less than worthless.”

I slowly opened my eyes and found myself staring up at the ceiling. Judging by the lack of light that filtered in through the curtains, it was fairly early. Sadly that didn’t mean that I would be able to get any more sleep in.
It wouldn’t be much longer before I would leave for Kumo and I still had a lot to do. I needed to check up on Sasuke and make sure he didn’t exhaust his Chakr...

“Stubborn brat.”
“Well, I am a Calavera,” I shot back.

2024-07-22 05:28:13 +0000 UTC View PostA full day had passed since the Akatsuki’s involvement in Taki. Tsunade hadn’t exactly been pleased to hear that Shibuki had aided the Akatsuki, even though he had been under duress.
The original deal with Taki was that Konoha would keep Fu safe until such a time that she was no longer at risk, but after the betrayal, Tsunade had declared that Taki would not be getting her back.
“Is this what it felt like when you first started training me?” I asked.
“Eh, kind of,” Maria hummed next to me. “You were a lot weaker when you started fighting Grimm, but you weren’t as nervous as some of them. Hell, after the first day you began to like fighting a bit too much.”
I let out a short laugh. That was probably true. I might occasionally go overboard when ...
2024-07-15 02:38:30 +0000 UTC View PostTraveling to Taki had been a mostly quite trip… that was until we passed the Land of Waterfalls boarder. The country truly lived up to its namesake, containing large bodies of water, lakes, rivers and waterfalls.
I’d initially wondered why the nation wasn’t called the Land of rivers as there were so many, but that name had been taken by a neighboring country had access to several of...

However, now that I was paying attention, I could influence how my body worked. I could make my heart beat faster, move individual muscles and may...

A few days had passed I’d won the Mistral regional Tournament and it was the first time that I was able to leave the apartment.

2024-07-01 05:09:38 +0000 UTC View PostI sat outside on a small bench under a roof, idly watching as the snow slowly began to pile up. Ordinarily, the freezing temperatures would force me to wear warmer clothing. Instead, it gave me the opportunity to practice keeping myself warm with Fire Style Chakra.
