Consequence | Day 2 Part 3

As expected, Ein woke up in the (Safe Zone). Exactly where he passed out a night ago. He checks his (Port), and just like (Rebirth) said. Everything he got before saving was erased from his inventory, but everything he crafter while in the void was safe. Including (Galepierce). He wasted no time getting to work.

"Create LVL 1 Dark Forge." He says as he holds his hand out as a hologram appears of its placement.

[CREATE:]

[DARK FORGE & ANVIL {LVL 1} (COST: 10 (TIER 1) GRIMM BONES, 4 (TIER 1) GRIMM BONE PLATES, 1 (TIER 2) GRIMM SOUL]

[REQ. TIER 1+ HAMMER]

Thus started the process using normal Beowolf materials. 1 hour to (Create), it read out. He can work with that. He needed to go to Domremy again. Meet Artie again and ask for guidance. 'A person as powerful as him should have some sort of clue for me.' Maybe he could even bond with Jaune this time and have a less awkward introduction. 'I really should've thought of a better excuse…' He blushes and facepalms in embarrassment. 

Next, he (Create)s an Alchemy Table

[CREATE:]

[ALCHEMY TABLE {LVL 1} (COST: ANY 20 FIBER, ANY 20 FLINT, ANY 20 WOOD)

[REQ. TIER 1+ KNIFE]

That too begun its creation. It'll less time than the Dark Forge will, the time reading out 10 minutes, so Ein got to work on collecting more materials from around his base camp. He'll want potions, and a lot of them. He'll also need to craft a normal forge. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the materials at the moment, so he puts that on the bucket list too.

…

Ein never noticed before, but he landed in a pretty lucky spot. The surrounding area was a VERY fertile forest, but it was also pretty mountainous. He could also smell a faint ash like smell in the air. Perfect for finding ore and Herbs. Unfortunately, he wouldn't be able to find iron, even in this ideal environment. He has a plan for that, anyway. No, right now he's looking for two ores.

Copper and Tin.

He was walking along a Cliffside, attempting to find some semblance or sign of them and collecting any materials he could get his hands on as he did so. A few minutes of searching later… "There she is." He said out loud, spotting a teal-ish discoloration in the rocks on the cliffside. He takes out (Galepierce) and throws it right next to the outcrop, sticking it in the wall. He climbs on it and touches the rock, hoping that it actually is what he's looking for.

And it was.

[COPPER ORE x62]

[QUALITY: HORRID (TIER 1)]

[DESCRIPTION: A SEDIMENTARY ROCK CONTAINING A MINERAL CALLED COPPER. IN ANCIENT EARTHEN AND REMNANT TIMES, IT WAS USED TO CREATE WEAK, BUT EFFECTIVE TOOLS AND TRINKETS UNTIL IT WAS REPLACED BY TIN. BUT ONE DAY, AN ANCIENT MANTLEAN SMITH ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED A LARGE AMOUNT OF MOLTEN COPPER INTO A BATCH OF MOLTEN TIN. IN AN ATTEMPT TO HIDE HIS MISTAKE, HE MIXED THE SOLUTION. THE KING OF MISTRAL DID FIGURE IT OUT AND HAD THE SMITH EXECUTED. HOWEVER, UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT TURNED OUT THAT THE SMITH, IN HIS MISTAKE, CREATED SOMETHING GREATER. BRONZE.]

He's glad he got the (Blacksmith) skill. Otherwise, he'd never have had this knowledge of ores. He jumps upwards, reaching out to (Galepierce) as it dislodges itself from the rock and flies to him with its one wing. Then, he slashes towards the outcrop. It obviously wouldn't have reached, but the extremely sharp ribbons of (Galepierce) came alive and extended itself, slashing into the Cliffside and extracting the copper ore. Wonderful. That's one thing down. One more to go.

…

Ein collects more herbs on the ground for more potions, finding herbs and plants. Their descriptions were… peculiar. So to speak.

[CHRYSANTHEMUM x12]

[QUALITY: HORRID (TIER 1)]

[DESCRIPTION: A PLANT NATIVE TO MISTRAL. IN TRADITIONAL MISTRALI HERBOLOGY, THE FLOWER HEAD WAS DRIED AND USED IN MEDICINE TO CURE MINOR ILLNESSES. IT WAS ALSO USED IN TEA FOR ITS BENEFITS. HOWEVER, WITH THE INTERFERENCE OF (REBIRTH) AND (???), IT HAS GAINED CERTAIN ALCHEMICAL USES AND TRAITS AND ARE NOT NATIVE TO IT.]

Ein remembers he once went on a field trip to China with his class. They were there for an educational tour about plants and herbs. That included them knowing and touching certain plants, feeling them.

These Chrysanthemum flowers didn't feel like they should be. They felt… Metallic, almost. The once gentle feeling of the flower was replaced by a much smoother, harder feeling. The other plants were like that too. Some felt like their petals and leaves were stronger. Some felt elastic. One even phased through his hand when he tried to acquire it. Even when he directly tried to (Port) it, it wouldn't budge. He'll have to get it later

[CHAMOMILE x15]

[QUALITY: HORRID (TIER 1)]

[DESCRIPTION: A PLANT NATIVE TO MISTRAL AND VALE. IN TRADITIONAL MISTRALI AND VALEAN HERBOLOGY, IT WAS CRUSHED AND USED TO TREAT CERTAIN SKIN CONDITIONS AND MILD SEDATIVE PROPERTIES. IT WAS ALSO USED IN TEA FOR ITS BENEFITS. HOWEVER, WITH THE INTERFERENCE OF (REBIRTH) AND (???), IT HAS GAINED CERTAIN ALCHEMICAL USES AND TRAITS NOT NATIVE TO IT.]

[RUBBER HERB x4]

[QUALITY: BAD (TIER 2)]

[DESCRIPTION: AN HERB THAT'S NOT MEANT TO EXIST, BUT MATERIALIZED ALL OVER REMNANT DUE TO (REBIRTH) AND (???)'S INTERFERENCE. THE HERB IS RUBBERY IN TEXTURE. IT CAN STRETCH UPTO 5 METERS LONG WITHOUT SNAPPING. IT HAS ALCHEMICAL USES.]

[AURORA HERB x7]

[QUALITY: BAD (TIER 2)]

[DESCRIPTION: AN HERB THAT'S NOT MEANT TO EXIST, BUT MATERIALIZED IN MISTRAL AND ATLAS DUE TO (REBIRTH) AND (???)'S INTERFERENCE. THE HERB IS COLORED WITH BEAUTIFUL SHADES OF BLUE AND PURPLE. WHEN VIEWING IT, IT LOOKS LIKE THE COLORS SHIFT DEPENDING ON THE VEIWER. IT FEELS COLD TO THE TOUCH.]

The (???)s were ominous. What did it mean? Whatever it was, it was a mystery to add to the ever growing pile of them.

Besides, he had another thing he focused on.

[TIN ORE x84]

[QUALITY: HORRID (TIER 1)]

[DESCRIPTION: AN IGNEOUS ROCK CONTAINING A MINERAL CALLED TIN. WHEN IT WAS DISCOVERED ANCIENT REMNANT TIMES, IT REPLACED COPPER IN ITS USE FOR METAL TOOLS. BUT ONE DAY, AN ANCIENT MANTLEAN SMITH ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED A LARGE AMOUNT OF MOLTEN COPPER INTO A BATCH OF MOLTEN TIN. IN AN ATTEMPT TO HIDE HIS MISTAKE, HE MIXED THE SOLUTION. THE KING OF MISTRAL DID FIGURE IT OUT AND HAD THE SMITH EXECUTED. HOWEVER, UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT TURNED OUT THAT THE SMITH, IN HIS MISTAKE, CREATED SOMETHING GREATER. BRONZE.]

He repeated the process he did with the copper ore and went home, smiling to himself and collecting any other materials he found on the way.

…

By the time he got back he collected a bunch of materials and his new crafting station were already done.

[DARK FORGE & ANVIL {LVL 1}]

[DURABILITY: 1500/1500]

[DESCRIPTION: A FORGE CREATED FROM THE UNIFIED POWER OF AN ALCHEMIST'S GRIMM KNOWLEDGE AND A BLACKSMITH'S MASTERY OVER METAL. A DARK, OMINOUS, AND EVIL AURA PERMEATES AROUND IT. IT USES THE IMPOSSIBLE SOUL OF A GRIMM AS ITS FLAME. THE ANVIL IS MADE OF THE GRIMM'S DURABLE BONE.]

[ALCHEMY TABLE {LVL 1}]

[DURABILITY: 1300/1300]

[DESCRIPTION: A TABLE USED BY ALCHEMISTS TO CREATE BREWS TO EITHER SUPPORT THEIR ALLIES OR HINDER THE ENEMIES.]

The (Dark Forge & Anvil) looked like an old timey Smithery, but instead of the smell of metal, it's the smell of death that permeates. The forge was made out of the Beowolf's bones, and the anvil looked as if it was created out of their Bone Plates.

The Alchemy table was in the same vein as the (Dark Forge & Anvil) in that it exuded an aura that made it feel ominous. On top of the wooden table were flasks, bottles, and other glass apparatuses. Other than that, it also had a piece of parchment in the middle with an intricately designed pentagram in the middle, looking like it was written by blood.

"Wow… My base looks evil…" He realizes. He feels bad for any poor saps that manage to encounter his demonic looking setup. He didn't even mean for it to look like this! It's not his fault that Grimm looked like every edgy teen's dream! He extends his arm to (Create) another crafting station. His last one.

[FORGE & ANVIL {LVL 1} (COST: 9 COPPER ORE, 3 TIN ORE, 10 WOOD, 10 FIBER, 10 ROCK]

[REQ. TIER 1+ HAMMER]

It seems that the ore counted as the 'rock' for this recipe, so he uses his extra (Tin Ore). He crafts and places it down and the creation timer starts to count down from 10 minutes. He's glad it's not gonna take too long. 

For now, he interacted with the (Dark Forge & Anvil) to craft. He looks through the menu for a bit and browsing what he could create. There were Grimm armor and weapons. As expected. But there were also alloys. Both metal and Grimm. He didn't have the materials for them yet, but kept them in mind. Eventually, he found things he liked.

[A. BEOWOLF MASK: (COST: A.BEOWOLF BONE PLATES 3x)]

[A. BEOWOLF TAILCOAT, VEST, & DRESS SHIRT: (COST: 5 BEOWOLF FUR 5x)]

[BEOWOLF SLACKS: (COST: BEOWOLF FUR 2x)]

[BEOWOLF GLOVES: (COST: BEOWOLF FUR 2x, BEOWOLF BONE PLATE 2x)]

[BEOWOLF SCARF: (COST: BEOWOLF FUR 4x)]

[BEOWOLF COMBAT BOOTS: (COST: BEOWOLF FUR x4)]

He picked out those for his armor. Not only for their bonuses, but also, they looked pretty damn good if the pictures (Rebirth) showed him were accurate.

What? If Roman could wear clothes like that and NOT get questioned, why couldn't he?

It's also that reason that he chose to craft Grimm armor and not bronze. He could just pass it off as an edgy outfit and no one would bat an eye. If he wore literal, bulky as all hell bronze armor, he could tell he'd get looks.

Next up, weapons. Ein was much more excited for this selection.

[A. BEOWOLF GAUNTLETS: (COST: A. BEOWOLF BONES 4x, BEOWOLF CLAWS 4x]

[BEOWOLF LONGBOW: (COST: BEOWOLF BONES 5x,(TIER 1) FIBER 20x)

[BEOWOLF ARROWS x4: (COST: BEOWOLF BONE 1x, BEOWOLF CLAWS 1x)]

Oh yeah. It's all coming together.

He picked these two, excluding the arrows, weapons for a few reasons. He learned from the Razorwing fight that he didn't have anywhere near enough ranged power. Even with magic, his INT stat was a bit too low for it to be useful. He could always throw (Galepierce), but that would leave him defenseless. It's the same case with the ribbons, too.

As for the gauntlets, he understands that (Galepierce) is a powerful melee weapon, but realistically it's only good for medium ranged combats. Any Grimm get too close? He gets hit. So for those situations, He'll rely on the gauntlets.

Besides, in a way, it supplements (Galepierce) too, in a way. He could throw (Galepierce) and let it do its thing and still be able to protect himself with the gloves.

As for the arrows, he wasted all his remaining claws on as many of them as he could get.

He lets it all craft at the same time before turning to his alchemy table now. His options were admittedly limited, but it's fine. He'd already decided what to make.

[POWER POTION {LVL 1}: (COST: CHAMOMILE 2x, AURORA HERB x1)]

[SHIELD POTION {LVL 1}: (COST: CHRYSANTHEMUM 4x)]

[GIANT POTION {LVL 1}: (COST: CHRYSANTHEMUM 2x, RUBBER HERB x1)]

[FROSTBITE ELIXER {LVL 1}: (COST: AURORA HERB 5x)]

He crafts two of each then leaves them to brew, noticing that his (Forge & Anvil) finished creating.

He looked through that list as well. He already had items crafting for his (Eyes), (Torso), (Legs), (Gloves), and (Neck) slots. Good thing too. All the items he could craft in the {Forge & Anvil} were EXPENSIVE, but nonetheless, he had enough ore for at least a few things.

[BRONZE RING: COPPER ORE 28x, TIN ORE 7x]

[BRONZE EARRINGS: COPPER ORE 32x, TIN ORE 8x]

His pain is immeasurable, but he complied anyway. Anything for power.

Now? He waits

[VIEW SELF PORTRAIT?]

[Y/N]

Ein clicks yes. "Damn… Hey good lookin'." He looked at himself in the mirror, impressed with the look of the armor.

The mask was intricately designed. He compared it to the Alpha Beowolf's mask, and it was almost indistinguishable from each other. His torso was amazing looking. The tailcoat was designed in a regal, rococo style manner. A wonderful harmony between black, red, and white colors. It paired well with his gloves and pants.

Speaking of which, his gloves were simple, yet elegant. The back of his gloves had a trapezoidal bone plate, which had ran down his glove up to his fingertips in a beautiful swirl of red and white which travelled along the black glove. His pants fit well with his tailcoat too, yet there's something about both the gloves and pants that felt incomplete. In fact, any piece of armor that wasn't his (Torso)'s and his (Eyes) pieces felt incomplete. Was it the fact that those were Alpha armors?

Overall, he looked like he was ready to go to a medieval style waltz.

The stats were pretty damn good, too. Having a grand total of (+19 Armor, +5 STR, +3 VIT, +4 DEX, +6 AGI, +10 Resource regeneration, and a 55% resistance to Dark attacks). He equally as weak to Holy attacks though. 

Next, the potions. He couldn't really say much about them.

[POWER POTION {LVL 1} x2]

[FROSTBITE ELIXER {LVL 1} x2]

[QUALITY: COMMON (TIER 3)]

[DESCRIPTION: A COOL POISON THAT WILL MAKE THOSE WHO TOUCH IT FROSTBITTEN]

Finally, what he was the most excited about. The weapons.

[A. BEOWOLF GAUNTLETS]

[QUALITY: COMMON (TIER 3)]

[DURABILITY: 1250/1250]

[STATS: +16 TOTAL DAMAGE (EARTH ELEMENT)]

[DESCRIPTION: A GRUESOME GAUNTLET MADE FROM THE BONES AND CLAWS OF AN ALPHA BEOWOLF. THE HOST FEELS ATTATCHED TO THIS WEAPON, A HIDDEN POTENTIAL IS GENERATED IN THIS WEAPON, HOWEVER, IT WILL ONLY ACCEPT SOULS THAT ARE TIER 4+ AND ARE COMPATABLE]

[BEOWOLF ARROW (x20)]

[QUALITY: BAD (TIER 2)]

[STATS: +5 TOTAL DAMAGE (EARTH ELEMENT)]

[DESCRIPTION: MACABRE AMMUNITION MADE FROM A BEOWOLF'S CLAWS AND BONES.]

He smiles with glee at the beautifully Macabre weapons.

The Gauntlets felt good to wear. The left gauntlet were almost entirely black with red streaks. Meanwhile the right gauntlet was the opposite, being white with red streaks.

You know, between (Galepierce) and (A. Beowolf Gauntlets), he's seeing a pattern with the coloration.

Back on track, the gloves emitted a low droning noise, almost whispers. He could compare it to intrusive thoughts.

The (Beowolf Longbow) was the same way, whispering for him to give into his instincts. He shook off those thoughts in favor of admiring the structure of the spinal bow. He hid both of them in his port, not wanting to alert whatever great forces there were watching him.

He did consider using his semblance on the (Beowolf Longbow), but he wanted to wait until he got enough souls to max it out.

He was finally done with everything he wanted to do.

He thought about making food, but decided against it. He could always do it when he comes back.

Quick in and out adventure, right?

Thanks to his grand total of what is now 32 AGI, the trip took no time at all. What was a wasteful 3 hour walk is now just a 12 minute run.

At least it would've been if there weren't Grimm in his way.

He sighs, taking out [Galepierce] and getting rushing ahead.

Instead of mindlessly rushing towards him, the two remaining Grimm stayed back, staring at him with analyzing eyes. The Alpha puffed it's chest. "Calling for reinforcements are you?" He points at the Alpha's throat with a finger gun. "That additional INT did wonders, hm?" He casts (Fire Bolt), aiming to kill. A small fireball manifests in front of his finger before and flying forth.

"That didn't really do much, did it? Looks like it'll take a while for magic to be useful. The status effects might be useful, though?" The struck Beowolf was engulfed in a fiery blaze. It caused it a great amount of pain, which in turn caused it to run around in an attempt to put itself out. "That didn't really do much, did it? Looks like it'll take a while for magic to be useful."

But it was all for naught.

[BEOWOLF HAS BURNED TO DEATH.]

The fire had also scared the Alpha into stopping its howl, backing up from the Beowolf bonfire. "What's wrong? Big Bad wolf too scared of the little fire?" Ein mocked the Alpha with baby talk.

The Alpha growled at Ein's sadistic and overconfident nature. Puffing it's chest out once again. "Again? Hah…" Ein was growing tired of the wolf's charade. He simply threw (Galepierce) towards the lone wolf.

As (Galepierce) flew through the air, it unfurled its one wing. Although it only had one wing, it flew through the air as if it had two. (Galepierce) homed in on its throat.

[A. BEOWOLF HAS BEEN STRUCK ON ITS WEAKPOINT]

(Galepierce) pierced right through its throat, a perfect hole in the middle of its Grimm flesh. Before it could die, (Galepierce) steered itself back towards where it came from and pierced right through its chest. At the same time, Ein aimed two fingers towards its eyes and casted another (Fire Bolt), striking at the same time as Galepierce.

He really wanted that bonus.

[NO DAMAGE BONUS: +20 LUCK FOR ALL DROPS]

That too apparently? He didn't even know that was a thing. He just shrugs his shoulders as the battle concludes, feeling the effects of (First Blood) disappear, reverting his stats back to normal. (Galewing) also flew back into his hand as he holsters it behind his back, but not putting it back into his (Port). He wanted to keep the stat bonuses.

[COMBAT CONCLUDED.]

[SKILLS DEACTIVATED.]

[CALCULATING RESULTS. PLEASE WAIT.]

He wasted, what, a minute? That's not too bad. He stretches his muscles, groaning in satisfaction at his strength, even without the potion effects. With that, he continues his dash to Domremy.

…

He's close to Domremy. He can feel it. He recognized the markings on the trees. Ursa territory. He tried to avoid them. His intuition told him it was a bad idea then. It's still a bad idea now. 

Well, maybe a little less bad of an idea.

He was distracted from his thought process when he heard a multitude of screaming voices from the direction of Domremy. 'What?!' He thought to himself. 'But it was so peaceful last time!' Ein pushes through the foliage, finally arriving to the chaotic village.

It was a warzone at the front gate. Multiple civilians were at the front gate. Some armed with guns and bows, some others? Armed with swords, spears, and whatever other melee weapon they could get in the front line. He couldn't believe his eyes. Even civilians were strong in this world. It took him 2 (Rebirths) to surpass that strength! 

Despite that, the situation looked hopeless. Multiple bodies laid dead on the ground. He recognized two near the gate. The guards from last round. He grit his teeth in anger. They deserved to live, yet here they were. Lifeless on the ground.

It was then that he realized exactly why this happened. And why this will probably happen to other villages like this one. He understands what that meant now. When (Rebirth) said that his existence became clearer.

Remnant, the world, has begun to fight back against him, an invader of Remnant.

And because of him, so many innocent lives will be lost.

Salem probably sensed her Grimm suddenly become so much stronger and decided to take territory. Guilt weighed on his shoulders.

Just as many people there were in front, there was more than five times the amount of Grimm. A mismatch of Ursai, Beowolves, Boarbatusks, and a bunch other types of Grimm he didn't recognize. 

Among the civilians, there were people who glowed with Aura wielding Mecha-Shift weaponry and wielding Semblances. He could only assume they were Huntsmen and Huntresses. Among them was Artie, clad in an outfit that reminds him of a fantasy berserker's, but with more armor. He wielding a large Wooden Great Sword with a hole just above where the cross-guard is. Jewels were embed and rooted into the cross-guard.

Several Grimm charge him. Some of them were even Alphas.

Ein pulls out his (Beowolf Longbow) and (Beowolf Arrow)s, pulling back the string of the bow and aiming at the Grimm.

Yet he hesitates. In fear of whatever great forces (Rebirth) had talked about when he unlocked his (Alchemist) and (Dark Forge) skills. He didn't want to risk the world leveling up again. More deaths would be on his already bloody hands. His hands tremble as the Grimm get closer and closer to Artie. Fear took over his very soul.

Yet that fear was unfounded.

In a singular swing, all of them were bisected.

Ein widens his eyes. 'He's that strong?' Ein asks himself. Ein analyzes Artie's condition. He doesn't even look winded from that swing.

Ein sighs in relief, putting his bow and arrows back in his inventory.

Suddenly, Artie's weapon began to shift and morph swiftly into a gatling gun already revving up. Ein stared in complete disbelief. "What…"

Then it fires. Loudly. He doesn't know how fast it did. All he knew was DAMN it was loud.

For every Grimm killed, it felt as if three more took its place. The civilian fighters were getting tuckered out and the Hunstmen and Huntresses were getting overwhelmed.

He was only snapped out of it when he noticed Jaune of all people in the frontlines. He was about to be attacked from behind.

"No!"

He shouted out, dashing towards the young, soon-to-be deutragonist with (Sprint) and shooting out a (Fire Bolt) towards the Grimm, not caring about resistances or weaknesses.

But it was too late.

Yet with his agility, he was still too slow and by the time his (Fire Bolt) reached, the Grimm that he could see now was an Ursa Minor. Because he kept on staring like an idiot. Because he fucked around back there with the Beowolves. He could only curse himself for being a useless bastard. Jaune's left arm was cut clean off his shoulders. The loud scream of a boy could be heard. A boy who once held potential held nothing no longer.

'Good! Die you bastard!' He stopped attacking the shredded Ursa Minor to look at the dying Arc. He took him in his arms and looked at Jaune's lack of arm. "Damn it…" Suddenly, he heard a voice amongst the chaos. A girl. "Oi! If you have enough time to do that, you have enough time to fight!" The owner of the voice said angrily, approaching Ein. "You wouldn't get it! This guy's important!" He scowled as he turned his face to the girl. "I know, you edgy NPC! Now let me-" The girl said in response, grabbing him roughly by the shoulder. The moment she did though…

[HOST HAS COME INTO CONTACT WITH ANOTHER HOST OF YOUR GENERATION.]

They both froze up. It's clear that they both saw the same thing. They stared at each other, forgetting their anger for just a moment. "…Tch. We'll talk about this later." The girl, an apparent host of the system just as he is, furrowed her eyebrows, taking Jaune into the city walls. Ein stared at them for a moment, clearly stunned.

Ein shook head to snap himself out of his trance. Now wasn't the time to argue. He faced back to the battlefield. The hoard of Grimm was still plentiful. His fury subsided as he breathed in. No longer will he be afraid of whatever attention he may get from whatever forces were watching him.

He pulls out his (A. Beowolf Gauntlets) and (Beowolf Bow), drinks a (Shield), (Power), and (Giant) potion, wields (Galepierce), and finally charges in.
