Chapter 7-Emerald Forest

(Your POV)
As I ran towards the hunters and huntresses, I shot a blue portal at top of the tower ruins, then I shot an orange portal beneath my feet. I leaped through the portals and gun my rope dart ready to shoot from my hand. I then activated my pipboy and the Nevermore and shot the grimm In its stomach. After getting the rope dart stuck in there, I swung myself over the Ursa and dislodged the rope dart. Without missing a beat, the rope dart came back to me only for me to send it into the head of the Ursa below me. I then pulled the rope dart back, forcing me to move towards the Ursa.

"(Y/N)?!" Ruby and Yang shouted at the same time as I landed on the Ursa's back with a loud crack. "What are you doing here?"

"Wait, that's (Y/N)?" A white haired girl with a rapier asked the duo as she walked closer to them. "He doesn't look like much."

"Weiss!" Yang shouted at the girl, who hen rolled her eyes while I just sighed before hopping off of the now dead Ursa.

"Well excuse me, when you and Ruby said that '(Y/N) was the most skilled of the three of you' I expected someone...buffer." She said pointing to my overall frame, and the fact was I pretty average in terms of height, muscle, and overall attractiveness.

"He may not look like much, but he's pretty damn smart." Yang stated as she went over to my side and got into a fighting position.

"You're next line is; How would you know that?" I predicted and pointed to Weiss.

"How would you know that?" Weiss questioned Yang, the. The realization hit her like a truck. "WHAT?!"

"While I'm not one to judge someone's skill without seeing them fight, I still think you should learn to be a bit more open minded." I advised while dodging a feather that would have removed my shoulder. "With this in mind, I think we should finish what we started."

We all looked at the nevermore hovering overhead as it flapped its wings, meanwhile, I heard something coming from the forest. Looking over, I saw that it was a freaking Deathstalker chasing after a famous huntress in training, Pyrrha Nikos.

"Why does my life involve saving redheads nowadays?" I question myself as I shoot an orange portal beneath Pyrrha's feat, catching her off guard.

Pyrrha was then sent flying from the top of the tower, which she thankfully adapted to and fire shots with her shotgun while she had the high ground. I then looked at the blonde kid with a shield and shouted at him while pointing at a part of the broken bridge.

"You there with the sword and shield!" I shouted at the blonde kid with the two weapons and he moved over to where I was pointing. "Hold your shield above your head!"

The blonde kid responded slowly, just in time for Pyrrha to land right on the shield and leapt off of it for a softer landing. Pyrrha then thanked the blonde kid and began charging at the death stalker, followed by some girl with a hammer and a ninja-hunter guy. I then breathed a hefty sigh and began to charge with them, rope dart and pipboy at the ready.

I was about to charge with them before I heard a roar coming from the forest, again. I don't know what author is up there, but apparently he likes putting things in the forest just to be over dramatic.

The trees were swaying as they moved closer to me I was about to pull out my relic, but then I remembered that it was deactivated. But that's when I realized something, I have my phone in my inventory, and I downloaded some games to pass the time. So in other words, I can copy those games and gain their abilities. I also remember what games they were, they were-. My thoughts were cut off by a tree being sent at me at Mach speeds, I didn't have time to dodge, but I did send Arthur back into the familiar forest just before I got hit, so I was tackled by the tree and now I was stuck in place while the giant oak struck me in the stomach.

I was obviously sent flying into a tree behind me, the force of which sent me into the damn thing and made both me and the tree stuck to it. That was when the grimm I heard come out from the tree line. And by coming out I actually mean the damn thing was actually four times larger than the trees.

New Quest: Kill the Behemoth
Desc: All you need to do is kill that giant grimm, simple?
Reward: 900 EXP, 2,000 yen, 1 passive aggressive item
Failure: Death, if you don't kill that thing everyone probs gonna die.

It probably doesn't help that my rib cage is most likely gone, reduced to atoms, and the back of my head was bleeding. Well, desperate times call for desperate measures I guess. So I quickly pulled my phone out of my [Inventory] and begun looking for two apps in particular, when I found them both, I selected one and it started loading. Hopefully I can copy what I need from these games, then I might be able to beat that thing on my own.

(Third Person, with the group of people you left behind)

"Darn (Y/N), how could he leave me, his fiancé behind?" Rias pointed while she was struggling to keep her balance while walking over some roots.

"Wait, how on Earth is (Y/N) YOUR fiancé?" Sujin questioned with a slightly jealous glare. "I don't exactly want him marrying someone as weak as you are."

"Oooh, shots fired!" Jihan responded, which was followed by a laugh.

"Well he's going to 'take care of someone' for me, hence why we've known each other since we were kids." Rias only told a half-truth in this moment, not really wanting to jinx the fight between (Y/N) and Riser. "Plus, there's a secret part about this agreement that states 'when the person is taken care of, whoever took down the person in question would have the right to marry me'."

"I'm not even going to ask what kind of crap you and (Y/N) have got yourselves involved in." Ichigo commented as he kept moving forward using his flashstep, worried about his friend. "Besides, (Y/N) may be of Ryujin's Blood, but he can't control water yet."

"What?!" Jihan, Rias, and Sujin shouted in unison, not really surprising Ichigo.

"(Y/N) always relied on his intelligence because it can't be copied or sealed off." Ichigo explained while cutting a bush in half with Zangetsu before running towards the sound of crashing. "So he's never really focused on his clan's ability, but he can still breathe underwater."

"Plus it doesn't help that he has no offensive skills." Jihan commented, making Rias sweat a bit.

"You know, you guys aren't helping my confidence at all." Rias sighed, just before the four of them heard the sound of cracking wood. "What was that?"

"Beats me, but it didn't sound good." Sujin stated while she leaped over a boulder that was blocking the way. "Either way, it came from the direction (Y/N) headed so we should hurry up."

"I hope (Y/N) is alright." Rias stated before she was hefted onto Sujin's back. "What?!"

"I may not like a weak leader, but you and I have the same goals, so you're an ally to me." Sujin told Rias as the former began running towards the source of noise, much faster than both Ichigo and Jihan.

Ichigo then used flash steps to keep up with Sujin, making the two tied in terms of speed. Meanwhile, Jihan flew above the trees and made a b-line over to where (Y/N) was headed. He flew a couple meters forward before he suddenly saw a giant grimm with black trees sprouting from it's back, the grimm was massive and made the giant robot look insignificant.

As if that wasn't enough, the starry sky from earlier had returned, a sure tell sign that Casper was there and in the middle of combat. However, Jihan didn't let that stop him, nor did Sujin or Ichigo. The four of them just kept on making their way towards the place you were heading, and they finally made it there after a solid minute of running and flying.

By the time everyone reached the clearing, the giant robot's face had crashed in and the twenty people that were fighting it were gone, maybe headed to the rendezvous point. Not too far away from the robot's corpse was Casper and Seno fighting off two people who looked exactly kind (Y/N), but the difference was that one had glowing (f/c) eyes and the other looked a bit older.

Sujin then let Rias off her back while Ichigo began eying the giant grimm in front of them. Jihan then tries to form a plan as he summons four of his golems, all at the ready. Rias and Sujin started looking around for (Y/N), having little luck in finding the young man. That was until Sujin spotted a tree that was horizontally stuck against another tree, with someone with (h/c) colored hair lodged between the two trees, with the individual looking down at something.

"(Y/N)!" Rias shouted as she ran towards the individual, who barely even reacted to the voice, with him weakly glancing upwards at the redhead.

(Back to your POV)

I slowly turned my head upwards to see Rias was running at me with Sujin close behind. Thankfully, I had copied what I needed to in order to escape the situation, but I can probably use my new found position to my advantage against that absolute unit of a grimm.

"Hey you two." My voice was rough and quiet, shocking even me. "Glad you guys caught up."

"I would ask if you're hurt, but that much is apparent." Sujin commented and earned a small laugh from me. "So you need some help?"

"Yeah, I need you four to follow my orders exactly." I requested before beginning to tell her the orders. "Rias and Jihan keep their distance and circle around the behemoth, you draw it's attention from the front, and Ichigo attacks from above. It still thinks I'm stuck here, so it won't expect the trap I've planned."

"So what are you going to do?" Rias questioned and I let out a low laugh.

"Like I said, it still thinks I'm here so I'm going to hide while supporting you guys with some new skills I gained." I informed, surprising both the devil and Martial Artist. "Just trust me, you'll know it's me."

Both Rias and Sujin nodded at my request, before running over to Jihan and Ichigo respectively. The two males nodded while looking at me, Jihan was about to walk over to me to use a healing skill, but I held up one finger and tilted it both ways. Signaling that I didn't need help. So Jihan took the gesture as reassurance and began flanking to the left while Rias took the right.

The attack was officially on, signaled with Sujin gracefully jumping in front of the behemoth. She then dug her foot into the ground before kicking upwards, causing rocks to fly at the grimm. I could tell those rocks were moving as fast as bullets at that moment, but the grimm just looked down at her in disappointment, even after the rocks hit.

I then took that moment as a sign for me to get out of my spot. So I decided to punch the tree for a bit before it broke in half and sent some wood into my inventory, now with the tree out of the way, I fell to the ground and immediately felt my ribs being just missing. So I fell to my hands and knees, only to find it difficult to breathe.

"Status." I opened up the (f/c) screen and examined my stats, then decided to look into what I should focus onto now.

10x TNT blocks

I put both my spending points into dexterity before closing it and opening up my [Inventory] to pull out one of my health potions. I quickly drank my potion to see my HP went from 5 to 105, which is good for now, but the real kicker is how I suddenly felt my ribs coming back and in perfect condition. Grateful that the potion worked, I used my portal gun to fire an orange portal on a random tree behind the behemoth. Then I tossed the now empty vial behind me before pulling out two of my new items. [Terra Blade] and [Diamond Pickaxe].

I closed my inventory and began digging with the pickaxe, which made a hole large enough for me to fit in through in a matter of seconds. I hopped into the holes and quickly covered the top with dirt so as to not raise suspicion, thanks to the new skill it was rather easy. Though it was kind of a let down that it didn't let me down creative mode.

Anyway, I cleared my head of the distraction and proceeded to dig to where the trap I placed was. Every time I swung my pickaxe, a meter of dirt was removed from my path and sent into my inventory. I was probably going to have to remove that at some point, but I didn't let that stop me.

I just kept that up until I felt the vibrations from the behemoth's footsteps alone, from there I stopped digging forward and began my plan. Which consisted of my digging straight down until I was twenty meters below my original position. Then I placed four TNT blocks and lit them, before I quickly placed dirt blocks beneath my feet to help me get back to my original position. I reached my original position just as I heard a boom sound coming from below me.

I took that as a sign that the TNT went off and that there's now a giant cavern below me, which is perfect. If everyone above me can somehow draw the behemoth over the cavern, the ground would most certainly cave in thanks to the weight of the grimm. Once the grimm is stuck underground, I can use terra blade to fire swords, Rias can charge up a giant orb of destruction, Ichigo can spam Getsuga Tenshou, Jihan can spam mana arrows, and Sujin can catch her breath.

Wasting no time, I shot a blue portal on the dirt in front of me and ran through it with my Terra Blade in one hand and Diamond Pick in the other. I arrived behind the behemoth with Rias and Jihan, while I saw Ichigo somehow standing on air slashing at it's back. Neither the devil or the gamer noticed my presence yet, so I decided to surprise them.

I put my Diamond Pick inventory because it was kind of useless in a situation like this. I then gripped my Terra Blade with both my hands and raised the blade high, I waited until I had a clear shot between me and the Grimm, just didn't want to hurt either Rias or Jihan. When my moment came, I slashed the blade downwards before charging at the grimm.

Jihan and Rias looked at the green blade in amazement as it passed them by, before they turned their attention to me, who was charging at the grimm like an absolute mad lad. While I charged at the behemoth, I swung my sword to fire green blades of energy at it, forcing it to move forward.

"Sujin, be careful while you're drawing it forwards the ground beneath you is fragile and will break if you're careless!" I shouted at the girl from behind the behemoth, I didn't get a response though. "Jihan, Rias, move to the front, but avoid it's path!"

The two nodded and dashed towards the front while firing their respective projectiles. I decided to go with Rias because she wasn't the most athletic of us, I followed her while slashing at it's legs, the more imbalanced it is the better.

The three of us reached the front of the grimm, followed by Ichigo with Jihan. I signaled for Sujin to fall back towards the rest of us, which she hesitantly did. I then pointed my blade at the ground and held it high, getting confusing looks from everyone else, whom I gave a nod to. They seemingly understood what I meant instantly because Ichigo raised his sword just like I did, Rias prepared a ball of destruction, Jihan got some mana ready, and Sujin raised her foot. I waited until I saw the grimm's back foot start to crack the ground, then I shouted.

"Now!" I announced as I stabbed Terra into the ground, followed my everyone sending their respective magic and weapon towards the ground, further damaging it.

The cracks we made spread towards the grimm, and there was a moment of stillness before the ground suddenly erupted and the grimm roared in surprise. The earth swallowed the grimm whole, but it was still there and in the hole. However the hole was deep enough for holy the trees-like objects on it's backs to reach the surface, but it's large arms were still a problem because it could pull itself out.

"Sujin, any chance you're fast enough to prevent this thing from putting its hands on the ground to pull itself up?" I asked the purple haired girl, who huffed proudly.

"I'm one of the greatest martial artists here, if not the greatest, I can handle something like that." As Sujin said that, the grimm placed a hand on the edge of the hole, before Sujin quickly ran over to it and stomped on the foot full force.

The force of her stomp bent the poor grimm's hand into an unnatural shape, making it roar in pain. I then looked at Rias and Jihan, who were already charging up aging orbs of destruction and mana orbs respectively. I looked towards Ichigo while he did the same at me and we both nodded at each other. Almost in sync, we then used our swords of fire black and green slashes at the grimm. We kept up the garage until the crimson and blue orbs were the size of the grimm's head, then Jihan and Rias shot the orbs at the grimm, causing a massive red and blue explosion to take place and sending us back a bit.

"Did we get it?" Ichigo asked us all before I got a (f/c) pop-up.

Completed Quest: Kill the Behemoth
Desc: All you need to do is kill that giant grimm, simple?

New Items:
Rock of Gravity Detection
Shit Tier
Desc: It's just a rock.
2,000 yen added to inventory

You leveled up to lvl 12!

"Well we did kill it." I commented as I began examining my new item, which was a literal rock. "And I got a rock...I'm calling it Dwayne Johnson."

"Wait, so your quest gave you a rock?" Jihan questioned as he took the rock and used [Observe] on it. "So I guess you did get a rock."

"(Y/N)!" Shouted two familiar voices in unison, I looked at the source so find Yang and Ruby were flying at me at dangerously high speeds.

I calmed the two down after a while and tight hugging and reassuring. Jihan used his healing skill to heal everyone, including Yang, Ruby, and their companions. I looked over to where Lost and Def was, only to see they were no longer there, and neither were Casper and Seno. I couldn't help but feel bad for asking someone for help and not thanking them, but it wasn't like they were still around. With that in mind, I just shrugged and walked over to Jihan to heal myself up.

Once we were all healed up, we introduced ourselves to each other and began walking together towards the rendezvous point. Along the way, we got caught up with the rest of both Rias' and my peerage. Everyone from our peerage seems to have paired up with each other, thankfully.

The only exceptions to that were Issei and Shiyeon though. Issei was paired up with some guys named Mineta, Kaminari, and Marechiyo. Meanwhile, Shiyeon was paired up with some girls named Tohka, Nami, and Houki. Meanwhile, Rias's peerage got an extra person named Asia, who was more of a healer than anything else. Why do I get the feeling this is gong to be a very interesting year?

(Timeskip)

In my opinion, the ceremony was strange. There were teams of three to five people scattered around the room and everyone was getting team names based on how many people they have on their team. People with three people got names like Team 7, Team 8, and so on. Meanwhile the four people teams got names based on the first letter of either their first or last names, making it something like RWBY or JNPR. As for five person teams, we got to choose our names. My team decided on naming ourselves RHSI(Initial), or Rhapsody if you're a normal person.

After the team making ceremony, the sun was setting so we all decided to head back to our houses. That was the plan of course, but now I have not only my peerage following me, I have Rias's entire peerage, Mineta, Kaminari, Ichigo, Rukia, Chad, Uryu, Orihime, Marechiyo, Tohka, Houki, Nami, RWBY, JNPR, Kakyoin, and Jotaro following me for some reason. I can understand my peerage, but why is everyone else following me.

"Um...boss?" Mori asked with his hands behind his head, so I turned my head from the compass I had and faced him. "Any idea why everyone's following us?"

"Beats me." I responded honestly, not really having idea as to why everyone followed us even after six blocks away from Sacred King's. So I decided to do something about it. "Alright, everyone who doesn't actually live over here can leave, you know."

After I said that, everyone just stared at me like I was the biggest idiot alive, kind of pissing me off. That was until Jotaro stepped up with his hat tipped down and walked past me with Kakyoin. Not really glaring at me, but enough of a stare for me to know I don't want to be on his bad side.

"I live this way, and I have no neighbors, unless you guys live in that abandoned house that reeks of the ocean." Jotaro stated, surprising me a bit.

"We're only following you because Saorise said that there's plenty of space and that we're free to stay with you, so we're just taking her up on her offer." Yang stated with a smile.

"We're supposed to be with our teammates, so we're kind of stuck with them." The woman known as Blake pointed out in an apologetic manner. "I think this rule applies to everyone here."

"Yeah, and my house can't handle this many people." Issei stated, which he wasn't wrong. "Besides, I'm sure you live in a freaking mansion given your literal ocean godly status."

"Wait, (Y/N)'s a god?" The girl named Tohka then got onto her knees and started bowing at me for whatever reason. "Lord (Y/N), I request a grilled fish."

"Tohka, I can't make fish appear out of thin air." I then held out my hand for her to grab, which she accepted and I helped her up. "Besides, I'm a demigod, so I can't do anything all that impressive. Wait, I'm getting off topic, Rias, why are you following me?"

"Easy, we don't have a house around here." Rias nonchalantly said while her peerage nodded in agreement.

"N-Neither do I." Asia meekly stated with her hand raised, looking like she was on the brink of tears while she slightly bowed. "So please let me stay with you Lord (L/N)!"

"Fine, screw it." I sighed as I began walking along with the compass again. "Wait, Jotaro, you know where the house is, correct?"

"Yeah, it's not that far away." He pointed out while walking in front of me with his hands in his pockets and hat tipped down.

So all of us kept on walking until Jotaro and Kakyoin turned the corner into a traditional looking house. We all looked around, trying to find the house he was looking for, but the only houses that stood out was an apartment complex and some giant clan house. But that last one couldn't be the one we're looking for...

"Um, Jotaro-" I was about to ask the guy before he pointed at the clan house.

"Yare yare, the place over there." He pointed to the clan house, surprising everyone except for Kakyoin. "See ya."

So Jotaro and Kakyoin went behind the house's wooden gates and disappeared behind the closing gates. Then we all shifted our attention over to the clan house, where the gates were made of a dark blue wood and had a silver dragon imprinted on both halves of the gate. I then proceeded to open the gate to find that the place did have the scent of the ocean, not surprising in my opinion.

Needless to say, all of us were rather surprised, all for different reasons. I was surprised that Ryujin left a place like this, my peerage was shocked that I knew about a place like this, and everyone else was probably thinking that they'll probably be able to stay in a place like this. Which they were absolutely correct, cause I'm not in the mood to argue with anyone. All I want to do is copy some video games today.

(Le main building)
"So...do we get to choose our rooms or what?" Sung asked as he walked towards the small pond, examining the various kinds of fish in it.

"Yep, though Issei and his team aren't allowed near the girls' rooms." I answered while gesturing towards the four people. "The Kaminari guy seems okay, but the other ones I don't want causing a commotion, no offense Issei."

"While I am mad about this, I understand." Issei nodded with his head hung low, while Mineta and Marechiyo did the same.

"Thanks for specifying that." Nami thanked me while she was stretching. "Also, is anyone else hungry?"

"I am!" Tohka shouted with hand raised excitedly, causing Khun to sigh and pinch the bridge of his nose.

"Right, I doubt any of us ate lunch." Khun stated as he started walking over to the main building. "Do any of us know how to cook?"

"I do." Jihan stated as we entered the building's rather large hallway. "How about this, everyone who doesn't know how to cook go find a room they'd like, while those of us who do know how to cook should go into the kitchen and get to work."

With that said, Jihan, Sun, Mira, Dawei, Yuuto, and Ren went towards the kitchen. Meanwhile, the rest of us went to go claim rooms, with the layout being pretty simple. Everyone in four person teams shared a room together, such as RWBY, JNPR, (Mori, Mira, Ilpyo, Mira) MMID (Magnitude), (Bam, Khun, Endorsi, Rak) BKER (Blackadder), and (Sung, John, Joe, Seraphina) JJJS (Justice). They decided it would best because it would take up less space.

I decided to take up Ryujin's old house, since it was technically my house after Ryujin gave it to me. He gave it to me because he hates humans nowadays, thanks to all the pollution sapping our funds in the ocean. With that, I found a separate hallway leading to the outside to see the walls of the said hallway were lined with photos of Ryujin in his prime with other ocean deities. Namely Poseidon, Zacharios, Leviathan, and even some images of people from his peerage.

Though the ones that caught my attention were Korra, Tanjiro, Lorem, and Tiamat. Korra went missing and we're trying to find out where she is,Tanjiro joined Saorise's peerage just to stay in the business, Lorem settled down somewhere to take care of her son, and Tiamat moved on over to the familiar forest. I was still concerned for Korra, mostly because of the fact her disappearance caused a massive uproar in Ryujin's palace, mostly because she was a Gold General and was incredibly loyal to Ryujin. The only explanation for her disappearance would be kidnapping or something, but that's the biggest concern, who could capture an avatar, much less an avatar with enhanced powers? What if we encounter this person?

I pushed those thoughts out of my head and focused on my original task of finding the house, a task I expected would take hours given the size of the property. Thought strangely enough, the task only took five minutes. It probably doesn't help that the ocean smell was strongest around this house, now I feel like an idiot for not following my nose. Tanjiro always did say people from my family had a strong ocean-scent to them.

In any case, I walked into the house to find it was rather average. So I walked up the stairs and entered the bedroom, finding a TV in the room. That was when an oh-so-genius idea popped into my head. I connected my consoles into the TV and immediately turned the Shrexbox on, ignoring the fact my stomach was rumbling, the game I chose was TF2, I needed to become a better teammate. I got lucky in that last fight, but that won't always work.

I texted Jihan to tell him I'm gonna be skipping out on dinner, and that I'm going to focus on gaining skills from those games he told me about earlier. Jihan replied with an "OK" and I selected competitive mode.

(A/N: Thanks again for reading this chapter, and this is where the official stories start to intertwine with this one. In case you were wondering, all the skills will most likely be from a video game. That is until towards the end of this series, where all the signature abilities have been unlocked. Does that really count as a spoiler? I mean, I don't put locked skills in the bio just for you to never use them.
