Chapter 8 - CHAPTER SEVEN

OUTSKIRTS OF WISE FOREST

TOWN OF AGRIS

SEVEN DAY'S LATER,

jaune and Erebus had traveled due south from the location of Kauhea Forbande for almost a week and The plains of desert rocks unending until, eventually arriving at a town at was next wise forest as jaune had heard from the locals of carriages That they crossed a few moments ago they called it Agris and He had not visited this town or any other town since he arrived here after his problematic situation he was going to buy some supplies meaning that they were currently around south-east of Orario that he has heard.

That gave him a general Idea of where he was and the geography around him worked.

Now that jaune was thinking more clearly as his mind has started to stabilize is thinking state, he knew that what he wanted he want to clear his name and find the ones who are truly responsibleness for what they did to his friend Hethor and her familia and need to find his friends, but he has being thinking's for a while about something, What if the people who did this to him and Hethor and they want to do the same towards RWBY and They might be in trouble but He knows the girls can take care of themselves and no need to worry about him and he has his little problem at has hands and he didn't want to be remembered as a traitor or terrorist by everyone and he will find his friends and he will protect them if needed, and especially Aina if needed. jaune shook his head remembering that she didn't come to visit him and Didn't give him a chance to explain everything Maybe some politics or there's enough situation going about that he does not know he still investigate more about this world and it's ways if he needs to survive.

As it Escaping his thoughts, jaune looked around, see A beautiful sight the evening sky and the burning sun radiation The perfect harmony He had just gotten some free water from a kind old man but the water was little muddy water that had just gotten some from the local well that is here somewhere.

20 minutes later.

Luckily, He has learned from the locals here that this town is out of touch with Orario for a long time now and meaning that they don't know anything that has happened there and news has not that well spread it since the prison was destroyed. These people still see jaune as an adventurer and treat him nicely since they got a good impression the first time he has visited them.

Right now on the other hand, jaune wanted to get a quick job or something like a request in order to earn some money or vils they call it and so Him and Erebus had no currency at all At the moment and, meaning that they would starve to death before they would escape the barren fields of sand of the south east from Orario or die exhausted while choose defender ourselves and the others I think like bounty hunters a think is here they will be after us and surely they will be hunting the others inmate as well.

And since Erebus right now couldn't even enter the town since they knew about him, from his mayhem he cost 7 to 8 years ago has head leader of a terrorist group so jaune was going around alone for the moment and, looking for a job to do, hopefully a quest that acquired him to build some houses and help the locals them to escort some building and monsters materials to the others builders and help the guild by transporting some of them from that very land to their other meeting point and earned him more than enough for shopping for supplies to escape this sun-scorched land in a few weeks.

AFTER A FEW HOUR LATER:

TWO WEEKS LATER

jaune eventually arrived at the local bar for some drinks he's been working here for more than 2 weeks buy now and he basically knows everyone around town they actually treat him like their own and since that day she actually found a way to make sure his trouble making god has a home to stay at.

He started working your locally doing odd jobs and helping the neighbors out to the groceries and helping the police force here keep things in line help them maintain the city let's just say he was a city's handyman He did everything everyone Loved him for this some of them had their suspicions they thought he was somebody adventurer who was going to rob them but the more they live with him the more they understand he was not an adventurer of that sort Once 2 days ago there was a monster attack here Yes all you will be wondering where could be a monster attack be on this town actually it's more common than you think the people around these towns send requests to the familias and guild Then they send someone's to deal with them but mostly they don't even bother to come They basically let these towns of defend for themselves and let monsters destroy them It's just like back home where The grimms steal everything from us Are homes are happiness in our loved ones This is all the same So he decided to lend a helping hand towards the town never more than 25 different monsters basically goblins and some I think hell hounds and there was a big one I think it's a sand yeti I think it is I helped towns guards force by substituting all of those monsters by myself as I did they did say you can take the money as a reward but I refused obviously I don't like taking advantage of people It was never in my nature.

They were always shocked at first but then they realized what type of a person is he and he was a keeper so they offered him a home instead that if he needs anything they will all help him in anything This even got the attention local girls even the women who husband who passed away for while or eyeing him more often. Then Town folks see him fixing there town and helping them build there house's and wall around them they all saw him some kind of a hero form some story and for the girls secretly though ( he was handsome. )

Present day

Since this place doesn't have a guild office anything like that and, this is the best place to find any jobs that are available at the moment and jaune walked up to the counter off the bar and he is, being greeted by the Raven hair and blue eyes barmaid with a beautiful smile.

"Well well, isn't it the our local favorite adventure so What can I do for you ?" jaune smiled with a tiny chuckled ,

"Oh, I just wondered if there were any odd jobs still available now, I'm looking to earn some more valis at the moment" The barmaid stared at him for a few minutes and then she started to smiles at him, before her face morphed into a thoughtful sinful expression.

"I don't know jaune but Most of the jobs are taken care by folks around here and already apart from there..." jaune's ears and eyes perked up like goblin Slayer at the quest and on that pause.

"Well .... There is a current problem with our old towns well and You see, we have recently dug a new well so but the water is not nearly as clean as we need it to be - " jaune gimanched for a second at the thought , remembering that the water he was given few week age by the old kind Man did have some mud in it, somehow he knows he have to deal with it.

" And we know the reason now for a while this is that damn sand worm work it had put up a nest by the well, and meaning we can't go near without risking our lives at all and There is a bounty up for the monster's subjugation for a while now but no one wanted it or has taken it yet and the price has risen all the way to 50,000 valis and- " jaune gawked at the ridiculous amount of valis for a sand worm at best. Sure he has Heard that, the monster usually only spawns on the 46th to 49th floor of the dungeon and is a monster only level 4's or above can effectively fight and then kill it.

On the other hand he has also Heard that, the surface version of monster is barely strong enough to match a Minotaur according to one of his god long study sessions and Since jaune is a level 6 currently, this was like saying 'If you do this easy task, we will give you a lot of valis for it'. - and we can talk over a nice good drink at my -"

"Alright then, I will take the quest. Just point me in the direction of the monster Miss" The barmain just stared at him for a moment and then she smiled at him and wink at him as she pointed him towards there request bored as he saw the request was on the top list next to some bandits quest and some exploring quest but when he saw the worm quest he knows which direction he needs to go After he got up and went towords The quest board hold the page out and he asked her where is it She then explained and gave him directions to his prey and before she can thanked him but He quickly left the bar and headed towards his house to prepare for the big fight and to rest He needs to head outside the Town in the morning but before heading towards the location he saw Erebus was waiting in his house and sitting on his couch for someone.

Once he arrived at the scene, Erebus was leaning on a couch, looking bored to no ending explained.

"You know, you should try to dye your hair that It would help with people around here that not to recognizing you" jaune suggested as he closed his door quietly and made his way towards the living room as Erebus peeked up at his voice and nodded slightly at him.

"I might just take that into consideration my dear friend and Did you find anything worthwhile In this Grand town of ours?" Erebus asked as jaune nodded at him.

"Yeah, a quest to kill a surface sandworm and It should be manageable and the reward is 50,000 Valis" jaune heard Erebus whistle at this and he was impressed by the amount for one monster That has.

"That's a very hefty price for a single monster, so What do you think This isn't a trick right ?" Jaune ask his god Erebus and he can see his concerned about the recent request.

"Yes, these people are out of touch from Orario for a very long time and they should have no idea of recent events What happened and Plus, last time I was here, they seemed to like me a lot for It" Erebus nodded at him and before he motioned for jaune to start your preparation for your quest.

Jaune smirked at him for his approval and directly went to his room to grab his gear and prepare for his battle as he came out of his room after 10 minutes he was wearing an armor set like he had long before but he only had a chess piece gauntlets and some pieces on his leg He got himself a shield and one sword and he was lucky he found a spear He knows it's not much and it's cheap armor but something's better than nothing and he needs new weapons He's hoping Aurora is okay He did abandon her but he did hide her as well as he remembered what happened to his goddess He felt a disturbance in the dungeon he told Aurora that there are some people's following them Aurora knew this She told him that they're hunters were more like bad people and they feel funny and some kind of corruption magic when he heard this he told her to run and take his armor and hide it She didn't understand it a bit but she did that He remembers that day as she left I told him that they will meet again one day as he saw she vanished near the forests taking his armor with her as he grabbed one of the spare swords he bought and he had to worse the intruders 30 minutes later he killed all 10 of them by himself but the 11th one was alive Jaune kept him alive for a few minutes so he can interrogate him He told him that his goddess will feel their wrath He knows something is bad going to happen as he killed that guy over here he had towards the city towards his his friend Hethor.

ONE HOURS LATER:

THE REQUEST

As Jaune took the lead down in to the dried and heated lands and The small trip should only take around 20 minutes to get there but The wells aren't that far away from the towns that use them for convenience but the problem was he got lost on the way as he gave his map to his so-called god who basically led him in the wrong location For the last 1 hour he finally made it to the well and he knows one thing he needs to start learning to read the map again if he gets lost again it will be his doom because there's someone with him who doesn't know how to read a map ( I hope you are damned ) .

" Hey jaune I wanted to ask you something While we walk to our deaths, why don't we start telling each other about ourself's ? And a friendly reminder On the way to the town, I did tell you about myself you know" Said god contemplated but for a moment and try to scam and the bhost of the same time before jaune Just stared at him and his sigh and just nodding towards him.

" ok we will talk then " at first jaune arc didn't know can he can trust is so- called god or no but he can do absolutely do nothing about the situation entirely he just have to go with the flow for now.

"First thing first" jaune arc said.

"Actually you might have noticed by now about my status and the abnormal condition I have, I am not even from this world and I didn't plan to come here not here like this location but in your world entirely, I was fighting someone I know ( and hate ) on this golden bridge in a another dimension entirely in the next thing I knew the bridge was collapsing and I needed to make my way towards other side of the bridge as I was running some of my friends got away I was not so lucky with my 4 another friends who fall with him but landed at different times and location entirely and the next thing I knew I was here in your world and walking around with you" as he told has half true about him self towords this god of Chao's named Erebus that he can not fully trust yet.

As for the so - called god of Chao's Erebus he just stare at him like he was telling a bad joking or something He was a little concerned about what he just Heard just now another dimension, golden bridge fighting someone on that bridge and he fall in there world he doesn't heard that very often indeed as kept on staring at him like if he was lying and he's noteded that there was no lying at all that means those A******* of a brother's are coming here soon but enough for now It was his turn to speak as he shook his head in a nod and sight for a moment and start his life story.

" Ok then I will talk then next " said Erebus.

"I came down to this world to to see excitement what like the rest of my kind and cause Chaos of course That is... was my only goal with my existence at best and I have always thought of Evil being as something is absolute, something that will always exist no matter which time or place or era I in and Mostly, I did some small things like help family with there's finance problems and there family bastard son problem and sometimes later then his son who raped a cow problem here and there was time was he caught a fish in a fishing net But later he realized that fishing net had on fish in it but dead bull woman bodysuit and it turn into a murder case later on and then until the time after Zeus and Hera familia's faced off against the set families and Odin families and then the great request come to for the subjugation of the great King of the land Behemoth and the great queen of the sea Leviathan and worst of them all the great King of the night sky's the One Eyed Black Dragon" jaune nodded and that last one is quite familiar as he listened to the god life story and history of this world.

"As you may know by now The Zeus and Hera Familias are on - they were one of the strongest Familia led by Zeus and Hera before they were weakened and forced out of Orario 15 years before the start of the my story and From 1000 years ago to 15 years before the current time, the Zeus Familia was one of the strongest familia in Orario. They held a quite close relationship with Orario's other top faction, the Hera Familia. As the top familias it was commonplace for adventurers from other factions to challenge them and they also had strained relations with several other factions, like the Sobek and Horus Familias, whose warriors they used to fight every night.

They had a Level 8 adventurer as their captain and even one of their weakest members could defeat a Level 3 Ottar with a single blow. The other gods stated that they had made Zald and Alfia, Level 7s whose might was above their level and who had a chance of defeating their Level 8 and Level 9 captains respectively, as powerful as they were since that much was what he had to do for their factions' first appearance and suggesting some of the rest of members were as powerful as them.

Even after Finn and Gareth from the Loki families reached Level 5, there was such a big gap in power between them and their executives that they couldn't be classified as the same type of first class adventurers like them, After being given information on the statuses of their members the Loki Familia was stunned to learn they all had exceptional abilities and They are very envious of them especially their goddess Loki.

Along with the Hera Familia, they hold the record for being the familias that have reached the deepest in the dungeon. The 59th Floor is publicly known as the official record. However, it was the Guild that established it as the deepest after the fall of both familias to make reaching it a prestigious feat. In reality, they managed to reach the Glacier Territory and even more floors onwards and It is unknown precisely how deep they were actually able to go; the deepest floor reached by Zald and Alfia was the 71st Floor, and however, it is unconfirmed if it is just their record or their familias' as well a little."

"But Unlike other familias which dislike information leaks or even hid information from them, the Zeus and Hera Familia fully cooperated with the Guild due to their relationship with Ouranos, though they found it troublesome. They handed them over maps of the floors they had reached, information about their members' status and abilities, how to get development abilities, and even a growth model for statuses. Overall, their contributions became a foundation for what Orario is today. "

"After Zald's death it was confirmed that all members of the Zeus Familia had died."

"Several hundred years ago, the Zeus and Hera Familias defeated the Set, Sobek and Osiris Familias and Odin families and that was 27 years ago the Osiris Familia, along with other factions such as the Sobek Familia, tried to dethrone overturn them but were ultimately defeated and most left Orario afterwards."

"The adventurers of the Zeus and Hera Familias succeeded in defeating the Behemoth and the Leviathan, but lost their battle against the One Eyed Black Dragon, losing their main force. Because of this, they were weakened and Zeus was ultimately banished from Orario by Freya and Loki, who were their rivals at the time, in order to maintain order in the city So they say but actually I know the real reason they wanted to kill the computation so they can take all the glory for themselves and what I've heard they're not doing such a great job anyways."

" And The main root of the problem the one eyed black dragon is like a god foreshadowing something like that might come into play Black monsters have a trend to be created by gods coming into the dungeon Perhaps, The oebd absorbed a god and The great spirit, Aria that is why it is so powerful. "

"And to make the matter worse it was Athena and Enyo are probably the first goddesses to venture into the dungeon and They used arcanum causing the dungeon to produce the black dragon in Which absorbed Athena and Enyo Longs to be free like the one eyed black dragon causing this reoccurrence And it's destruction from this very day."

Then it hit him that he has heard of this type of monster before in the town some people were discussing about this very monster but he needs to remember.

'The towns folk says the one eyed black dragon is like a god foreshadowing something like that might come into play Black monsters have a trend to be created by gods coming into the dungeon Perhaps, The oebd absorbed a god and that is why it is so powerful Athena and Enyo are probably the first goddesses to venture into the dungeon and They used arcanum causing the dungeon to produce the black dragon. Which absorbed Athena. ' jaune thought.

As Erebus continued with the story,

" But then I met up with two members from there two familias, Zald and Alfia near the beginning of the promised time, which will happen within the next decade or so and Because of that the arrival of this time was closing in to, I wanted to find a new hero for Orario and for the world, and the rest of the mortals that inheritance these land and due to the there weakness that had clearly infected Orario and it's surroundings. So me, Alfia, Zald and a couple of others people took upon the role of chaos and We needed to created a great challenge for Orario and world to overcome in order for them to reach new heights by working together."

" Did it work " jaune asked

" And don't know I have locked up for long time don't know what happened after that " Erebus said as normal nodded his head.

"And What is this Promised time you speak of ?" Jaune Arc asked Casal as Erebus looked towards him and smiled at him.

"That is a question I cannot answer for now but We gods, good or bad, made a pact to not share information of future events, no matter the severity of them, only to prepare them for it" jaune nodded at him and understanding his reasoning better than remnant god's brother's.

"Anyway, We created this challenge and they overcame it and From what I have heard, it allowed the current king of Orario to reach level 7, though that isn't anywhere near enough..."

'Current King maybe some kind of Archie system he needs to be more worried about this place who knows who might attack and what are the true motives The more going around It was confusing at first but the more he listens the more he understands it's just like in back home in remnant but there's no god's or magic that are interfering but we do have monsters of darkness that destroy everything's insight. ' Jaune thought.

' And for some reasons That monster known as the one-eyed black dragon it sounds familiar like have I heard of it before It's like how it used to be there In the city of the undead the one-eyed black dragon but this one sounds a little bigger maybe it could be even a dragon Grimm but that might be impossible whatever seen right now I don't think so that's possible or is it' jaune arc though

" Then it's... Kalameet"

The One-Eyed Dragon

Kalameet is a six limbed Archdragon. The beast's body has a more upright leg posture, compared to the very wide gait of some reptiles and dragons. Its hide and scales are black and oily. It features moderately large wings and a long tail ending with several prongs near the tip. Its head is long and thin with 3 long webbed spines on each side, and two thin horns above. Although Kalameet has two normal red eyes, his title comes from the glowing orange/red crest seen on his forehead.

Kalameet is said to be one of the last true archdragons in existence, with most of the other having been killed off in the last age by the Lords who usurped their reign. In recent times, the beast has been corrupted by the power of the Abyss, and is seen flying in the woods near the city of Oolacile, where it intially interfers with the player's mission by attacking them. After being shot out of the sky by the giant archer Gough, the Chosen Undead engages and slays Kalameet.

While Kalameet appears to be more beastial than most of its ancestors, the dragon retains its speed and agility. Kalameet will mainly attempt to lunge at and stomp on the player, as well as use powerful darkfire breath attacks. The crest on its head can also inflict a temporary curse on those nearby that doubles all damage taken.

Surprisingly, Kalameet has no true weaknesses to speak of. Most dragons are traditionally vulnerable to lightning, but this is an exception with Kalameet, who has been corrupted.

If it's the same monster no wonder they were really Royale screwed from the start they don't have to proper equipment to kill it if it's a grimm then They need dust enchanted weapons then it's that dragon it's going to be a difficult fight I had to go fighting one as well but I hope I don't'

jaune arc The chosen undead and The brave blonde knight Just jinxed himself.

"The events also made me look at things differently. Astraea, the goddess of justice told me that my evil isn't something absolute, but instead inevitable. It's something that's needed to make the world a better place. I have now had 7 years to ponder her words and come to a conclusion" jaune nodded as he quietly asked what he came up with.

"That she was right. Evil cannot exist without good, but the same goes for the other way around, if evil didn't exist, how would we be able to tell the difference between good and bad? It's through evil that we are able to understand the good deeds people do, and allow the world to appreciate these deeds. That's why I have taken a vow that my evil will remain, but I won't let it govern me, since if I do, then there is no way for me to tell if I'm doing anything good, or bad" jaune thought about it for a second before nodding.

"It makes sense, so you basically want to continue your deeds or also do something good at the same time?" Jaune asked Erebus while he nodded at him.

"It's hard to explain, but that's what I have decided upon" as Erebus continued to answer jaune question but he smiled before he stopped walking completely as he has sported the well infront of them.

"Well, we will talk later more that we have arrived at the location and let me take the lead and the sandworm from what I was have heard likes to ambush their prey more likely" jaune said before he started walking towards the well and started to prepare himself.

As he got closer to the well, he started to get a bad feeling all of a sudden and before he knew it, the ground started to shake slightly and before turning into near full on earthquake.

As Jaune preparing himself for battle as he leaped to the side as the ground underneath his previous location was consumed in a massive jaw like structure and This is the one thing that made the sand worm very scary and It can sneak attack it's victims, but he has heard of his weakness and it is the practicality of the attacks if he is correct and If it's underground and they always go underneath their prey.

Jaune, rolled on his back now quickly jumped back up on his feet and reached for his smoke bomb just to remember that they weren't there and they all of sudden the sand worm turned to jaune and launched itself with it's massive mouth opened wide.

"F****!" Jaune screamed as the flames came out of his hand and were sent into the mouth and traveled directly into its stomach of the monster and As a response, it flinched back and burrowed into the ground, most likely to put out the internal flames with sand but It was no avail The flames were too hot it even melted the sand turning into glass and the monster screaming pain.

At this sudden event, jaune took his chances and drawed his weapons and he ran as fast as he can and far away from Erebus and the well he could to cause the least damage to properties and his new comrade and he needs space to fight that monster and better chance he can get.

Eventually the rumbling started again and he know what was coming so Jaune jumped to the side again and, much like before the sand worm attack him form the ground but for jaune to instead Dodge or to ran but he took this as an advantage of him, As he landed on on his back again he rolled over His feet then he drawed his spear in his one hand then he ran towards the Sand monster and then , he jumped forward, clenching his fists around his spear as he launched it into the side of the worm.

As the scales that covered the entire monster as The Spear landed on his skin the worm was pushed back and to the side by the force destroying its scales and destroying whatever was there, as Jaune s eyes widened as he landed on the ground safely. He took a look at his fists only to notice some kind of white light surrounding him and at that moment, it was gone it felt somehow familiar.

The screech from the monster pulled jaune mind back into battle as he got ready for the worm to strike again.

As the worm desperately tired to attack him by launching itself forward at him, but at the last second as jaune dodged incoming attack as he twisted slightly, and just then enough for his leg amor to get caught on the edge of the monster's mouth.

" Shit"

At that moment, the worm thrashed it's head to the sides and to impacting that as on jaune's now as turned body side by side by, slamming him into a nearby sanded and rock and then the rock shattered by his impact alone as dust filled the area that surrounded the now demolished rock.

As the dust started to dissipate, jaune's silhouette stood up for the rubble and checking his limbs before twisting his head to the side and started to glaring at the monster as his jaune arc one eye started to glow a tint of red and the now more obvious his angry started to envelop him even more now.

To the monster, the pressure from it's opponent was thing else like it was now and It was like that he was an ant trying to kill a giant and The pressure ended up being too much as the worm flinched back little and, giving jaune a split second of time which he used to leap forward at him and with his immense speeds before drawing his sword and launching into it's worm body.

Blood spewed from the worm's mouth as jaune's used his fist was embedded with his Aura on its body and the area around the impact now being severely caved in as the the scales were getting destroyed.

As Blood of the monster stand the sanded ground.

As Jaune pulled his sword back with all his might, cutting it open and causing some of its guts to spill out before it thrashed around and his sword broke, it tried to pull itself out of the ground and trying with all it's might to find any way to stop the pain but with no avail.

Jaune just stood there and watched scene with has dead cold eyes before him as the creature started to slowed down It's efforts and before stopping completely and then the monster's body slowly started to dissipate into dust before the magic stone was left behind to claim.

As Jaune walked forward towards the fallen beast and picked the magic stone up as it left behind as a form of proof of the kill he made and After picking it up, he brought his other hand to see his sword broke as he stared at it sight at the quality it was made from She just bought out a few days ago and it didn't last one quest if he was fighting something stronger okay he needs to find better weaponry, and was trying to figure out what that was back there's It felt very familiar like I know it.

"Hey jaune! You done?" He heard Erebus call out to him, snapping him out of his curious gaze as He turned around and spotted his spear and quickly ran towards it grabbing it and putting it back on his back as he went back to Erebus before nodding at him.

"Yeah, the job is done now We can go now and Also, do you know what that was about? I had a white light surrounding me" jaune arc asked as Erebus nodded slowly at him.

"I have an idea, it's most likely the skill you called semblance and aura" jaune eyes widened At this new revelations that his semblance and aura kick it in as it used to so many years ago but if he is correct it's more like a healing and a strengthening skill you'll get healed and strength at the same time What else can I do with it I can extend it how I used to I'll try that next time he he thought.

"So, since I wanted to ended this fight and protect my surroundings, I got to activate my semblance and my Aura kicked in healing me while my semblance boosted my abilities stabilizing me ?" Erebus nodded at the question.

"That's awesome I basically forgot about everything about it ! ? Wait isn't that like yang semblance oh my God I'm becoming yang Isn't this a really strong semblance ?" Jaune asked excitedly at the prospect.

"Indeed it is. I believe it also has a suppressive effect that's stronger on weaker opponents, that skill is something most adventurers would kill to have, so consider yourself lucky" jaune nodded as he stared down at his hand that And he imagined is he really coming human again if he is then his semblance and aura is healing him he's becoming human again He had this month ago but now he can see the results He's able to use some of his abilities with his new skills He inherited on his journey He will use them all wisely He needs to make sure he hides his abilities but he needs to make sure he masters his magic and his skills if his enemies are here he needs to take them out and who knows how many more he's going to make He needs to be prepared.

Jaune pondered about the potential of the skill for a moment before looking back up and He remembers He had to get the reward for the monster subjugation, before getting supplies and leaving this wasteland and on his new journey.

"Erebus, we should head back now and call it a day" jaune said to his friend as Erebus nodded at him.

"I agree and By the way, which direction should we head in after we get the supplies?" Said Erebus As he tried to take some credit for himself. As Jaune just stared slightly at Erebus as he threw back a retort.

"You mean after 'I' get the supplies? I meant it when I said to get that hair dyed" jaune said to Erebus as he couldn't help but let a smile spread on his lips before chuckling slightly.

" Maybe If you can find something to dye your hair it with, that isn't some bright color or Perhaps white?" Jaune nodded at him they will look like a schnee.

"Only if you get a haircut as well. Whatever that 'thing' is makes you look homeless" Erebus continued to answer him.

As jaune just continued to ignored him and before he started to walk back to town as his god started to follow him as they both made their ways ask the sun was starting to shine.

THE OF AGRIS :

40 minutes later

As he made his way to the city as few of the new guards who stand by their new wall and town gates as they saw jaune and Erebus They saluted and greeted him told him he can go as he walked into town as he saw this town for the last 3 weeks he has been with him It's like his own home as he saw new buildings were being constructed the walls of the entire town for expanding and constructing new houses you saw as people were getting ready to sleep for the night as saw the street lamps lit up as he walked towards the bar but all of a sudden Erebus said that he needs to get home to rest jaune agreed to this and he told them he should go home he'll deal with the rest later as they both say they're goodbyes as they made there separate ways.

BARS

TEN MINUTES LATER.

As he walked inside of a the crowded bar as he saw the entire town was in the bar drinking and eating away like there's tomorrow as you saw few of the guards with their families celebrating and enjoying their freedom as they saw jaune Enter the bar as they all greeted him as he went on many of the girls winked at him and lift up their thumbs as approval as he made his way towards Selena at the main counter.

" Hey Selena, that sand worm monster that was terrifying the locals and your well I have done killing it do you have any more of them ?" Jaune said as He was not aware of his surroundings of it as the entire bar went quiet all of a sudden as everyone just stared at him and The Barmaid, Selena and her friend Amelia, Just stared at him like he just said something like a bad joke and shock at him then smiled at his word and blushes at his claim before everyone in the bar started to raising a cup in the air and started shouting and singing.

"A TOAST FOR JAUNE ARC FOR SUBJUGATING THE SANDWORM AND PROTECTING THE PEOPLE OF THIS FINE TOWN!" Cheers could be heard around the bar as people held their cups up in the air towards their new friend and alley jaune arc a hero to their little town with smiles and slight, drunk blushes on their faces last of all singed and praised him.

Jaune started to stare at them a little bit He was hesitant at first You never considered himself a hero and then Just accepted it as he nodded at them before walking up to barmaid Selena who was leaned close to jaune whispering something in his ears.

"You have proof of the subjugation, right?" Jaune nodded as he pulled out the magic stone and put it on the counter. Selena smiled at him before nodding.

As She made her way into the back before returning a 2 minute later with a pouch that looked filled to the brim and She handed it to jaune who peeked inside, to see the coins shining back at him.

"Thanks Selena for everything you have done Before I lea- " has jaune arc was being interrupted bye Selena who raised her hand from stopping him. And she continued to speak " the truth is it was you we should all be thinking You are a good friend and a good alley to this town You have helped us in our most darkest times when we ask the city to help us not even the adventurers not even the guild came to our aid But you did what you have done It's a great thing as a reward It's not that we paying money and giving you because you are family now You're part of this town and you are basically our hero like it or not that's only one of the part of the rewards The second one we need to discuss in private and You cannot refuse this one"!! as she's told him firmly as He just rubbed his back of his head as he said yes and she told him to meet him upstairs.

As he nodded at her As she smiled at him she signaled her friend to watch the main counter as her friend understood what she meant as you blushed at the reference some of the guys and girls who heard this brought their thumbs up towards him some told him go get her and rest of them were even jealous but they all mean well.

As he saw that Selena has made her way towards second floor her friend told me to go up And it's the second door.

At first he did not understand this so he just sight At this and made his way upstairs as he did As he saw Selena was standing next to a door maybe the second room a friend just told him and Selena told him to follow him as she opened her door and invited him inside in her room.

Has he saw was just a normal room as he saw there was a single bed at the side There was one window a study table some books and shelves and some pots as he saw the light source that was lighting the room it's a crystal Maybe dust no it might be the same crystal stone he has that he gots from the sand worm I thought they use this as the currency and they actually used this for their technology They're not so different from us as he was staring at the room blending in the environment as he heard the door closed as he saw that Selena was blushing as she start to make her way towards him.

All of a sudden she just kissed him for jaune arc This is new he has never kissed anyone other than pyhra who was his first and last kiss when he was alive He does feel live but this feels similar yet different as she was done she started taking by the hand took him to her bed as she made him sit down as he sat down on the edge on her bed.

As she got up when she went to words the lantern that was shining bright as she dimmed the light so dim that no one can see them She then went to words to a window and cover the blinds as she locked the door then she came back in front of him as she smiled at him then she said one thing.

" Jaune This is your second reward for everything you have done since you have came here and I want you not to refuse this please" as Selena said this.

As She started the strip down her clothes slowly until she hasn't lower than enough as at the level of her breasts as she smiled at him as she opened her ponytail and she kneel down in front of him.

When jaune Saw all of this He was panicking at first but stopped he start remember something He's more than 500 years old and he never even had sex before the one time he had he had to make sure her sisters wife gets pregnant to have a child That was the one time experience but now he's going to do it with someone else entirely You didn't even know the sensation anymore so he's going to do it He's not going to refuse it, If he refused he will be dishonoring her and what's the point let's go for it ' has he made up his mind as she put her hands on his pants as she was trying to pull them down jaune signaled her to stop as he got up she thought that he doesn't want it She was having second thoughts then all of a sudden Jaune started to strip his armor to decide cleaned his self up of it and then undid his own pants as he did she saw his dick What a very first time and it was big and long It was her first time but then as he signaled her to do whatever he wants.

Has she started sucking She started from the tip then she took all inside of her mouth as she gave him a b****** as he grasp at the feeling it was her first time but the more sucking she did the more better she was doing that She kept this up for more than 10 minutes until he burst open as she had some of his cum in her mouth Jaune gave her a cloth told her to spit it out as she did but he told her that if she wants to go on She said yes she continued again and again.

"This is just foreplay," she said . "I want you to go all the way. "

She pressed her breasts in from the side, her nipples poking against jaune shaft. as he grunted a little, he was able to hold out against her.

As her pillowy breasts squished around his cock, jaune saw his dick rise from between her breasts as she lowered her head, sucking on the tip. She was very careful to keep her mouth on just the tip by the pleasures of sucking on his dick and pressing her breasts against the sides of his shaft was so much. She knew what she was doing.

As she was done she walked towords the bed took off whatever she was wearing tost it aside and sat on the bed and then told him come towards her He followed her command as she grabbed him.

As she pulled him onto a bed in her room, lying on her back and pushing her legs open for him as her head touch his head softie as She was wearing nothing leaving her naked on the bed her light skin was exposed to him as her nipples and hole exposed. she had gotten very horny from watching him standing inward of her as she whisper to him. "Come on jaune, " she said happly. " let's makes some good memories together"

As he saw this and heard her say this he knows there no way out of this situation so accepted the request as he got up and he took of his remain clothes and started to crawled toward her on the bed as he was on top of her He saw her eyes sparkle in the night there are beautiful he was trying to say to her as she kissed him and started to rubbed his dick against her hand telling she needs him now as he understood her pleed as he started to rubbed his dick against wet as he slit in her as she wrapped her legs around him, pulling him closer to her eager cunt "ah ahhh ahhhh " could be heard He slip his half-hard dick inside her more, but she was having a difficult time to contained pain that was penetrating her as she "ahhh" .

jaune arc wait for minutes for her to adjust to the new situation as she nodded to him to start, as him started rocking back and forth on the bed, the springs squeaking beneath them. As Selena kept moving her hands on his back and then even touch his butt, while he was moving inside her.

"Ahh ahh ahh ahhh yes more" !

,As Jaune pounded her, selena's breasts jiggled about, and her body was flushed with sweat as She had never been more happier to haveing her first men dick inside her in all her years of barmaid on one wanted to make out and go out with her all just wented to avoid her completely as she can hear the town's folk didn't like her that much among the young men no one wants to be near her She was a daughter of some corrupt noblemen in the past She left it all behind and started a bar she came here when she was 18 years old She was 10 years have passed still nobody wants her until jaune came to her rescue and as jaune thrust more against her insides, hitting her in just the right spots to make her entire body shiver and she was moaning "ahhh ahhh aahhh ahhh as the bed cracked back and forth as he was going in the very good and maintained speed she loved him for what he was doing as you wrap her arms and legs around him She wanted to kiss him, but that would be great to. .

Selena tried pulling jaune in her closer, fastest was sensation was getting more intense awhile holding his head between her breasts. As her brown bosom beat him from the sides, after 20 minutes of there physical activities jaune fired another load of jizz into her at first It didn't have to go far to fill her womb and then he stayed inside her, pumping out rope after rope of hot cum in to her until she released her legs from around his body, letting him go as He collapsed onto her, his dick still inside of her from the intense stimulation, with his stressful working like helping around and killing monster for the last few weeks had given him a lot of stress and thinking's about his friends safety and recent events at the prison a harder orgasm that he needed at best.

Happily reclining on the bed, Lena placed her hands on her stomach. "That almost certainly got me pregnant," she said smiling at him. "Thank you, "

As Selena was thrilled and happy that She had her first time with the guy she actually likes but she knows she needs to confess to him that she did all of this that she needed a family no one will take her to more than 10 years So many years have passed and her fiance who was assigned to marry her ran away with another girl while her father passed away a year later and then her uncle framed her and kicked her out , that was 10 years ago ever since that day no one has ever spoken or contacted her her family considered her dead She came to this town to change her fate to have a fresh new start with the only reserves she had and she took and she was given She started a bar He brought good money then she started a restaurant at the same time It's the famous One in this entire town does anyone approaches her no they're more afraid of her They say that's using kind of a monster but which a battle harder and adventurer but in reality she's nothing like that she's just trying to sell her food and items many people try to ask her out but in the last moment that dumped her or worse want to make fun of her She wanted to quit she wanted to commit suicide and all the pain but what good would it bring those people will remain there and she'll just be gone until someone else takes a place For the last few years she started to have her own employees they came from technically the same background but there are something else to it Little by little few of the guys they start to marry them all off Right now she's the only bachelor around here the entire pub .

Then until a knight came he's recent years He was different every time he came he usually spoke to me and complimented how good it cook I am He even went as far her saying that I might make any man happy If I cook for them then for the last few days I kept on exerving him weeks past and I like him He was different even this last request when I made my offer he just jumped right into it not even thinking what the people are saying but he was kind enough to help us all He helped the entire town every person even the elders everyone adore him even the elves were living here Life is presence Even the other territorial beings but for me it was different.

as she was going to confess towards him about the situations and how things are going and everything then all of a sudden he was trying to get up He said he need to go home He remembers he needs to pack He needs to go somewhere and find someone and she heard this she was broken that he was leaving because of her He told her it's not her He's leaving He has a job he needs to find his buddies and help his god settle somewhere anywhere what would decent She giggle at this and she said.

"few more round at best please"

He nodded at her plead request and he was going to position himself on top of her again and he did he thrusted back and forth again and again you continues this another 10 minutes.

but she had another plans

She was going to taking him once in the cowgirl position,

As she climbed on top of his lower body and she was feeling his dick in her hand. Just as she was starting rubbe his dick she brought it back to life and she sat on top of him saddling him and as she grapes as it enters her hole and she started to adjust inside of her ans told his to move, her breasts were bouncing up and down making a fleshy slapping sound and sending beads of sweat then madded together was flying onto bed as it creaking sound can be Heard.

"Oh ahh ahhh my, jaune ahhh You're much sturdier than you look," said Selena. "You're hitting all my sensitive spots.", moved her hips slowly and deliberately.

As this went on few more minutes.

As she let his stick drip in her has she bouncing on his for a solid 15 minutes before slamming her firm ass down, a loud squishing noise reverberating through the room as Her hole was deep and wet, she started moaning a little louder as her arm's started to give out as she was holding his chest as she started to grab on his chest as the other hand want to grab the bed and edge has the bed started to Rock even harder Then before so tightly that he couldn't escape her. As he slightly tightened his grip around her waist as his other hand grab her breasts as he squeezed them feeling that she moaned in pleasure and she want him more With the smell of pleasure going up there nostrils

He groped her chest, and rolling them around and between his fingers hand.

"ah ahh ahhh jaune, if you play with me like that...ahh I'm going to cum aahhhhh !" said Selena "jaune ahh!"

She came first as she touched all over jaune's body, and marking him. as she drop down his chest, and jaune s next load was still quite thick, as they pant and garps and then jaune grabs her wirst lay her on bed on her back as she moan in happiness as he started to finish his job by trusting in and out of her as she was moaning rapidly when she grabbed on pillow covers and the bed as the bed was cracking even louder than before she was going to finish this job right now.

THREE HOUR LATER.

IN BETWEEN

MORNING

TWO WEEKS LATER:

THE TOWN OF AGRIS:

As the Sand worm was substituted by him It's been nearly 2 weeks He has been in this town for 5 weeks if counting He stayed a little longer so he can have more supplies and he can help the Town folk around He learned there were more monsters stronger so he decided to help the town as he did In these last two weeks he killed more monsters then the entire guild and the familias had outside of their territories In a way he's secured the entire religion making sure there are no more monsters as he told the town folk s what he has done They all chaired some of the folks even offer their daughters at hand of marriage He politely refused He said that he has somewhere to go They understand he needs to leave This did sad in them a bit but the girls had their own ideas ask the girls told their parents what they want to do They were shocked at first but the gladly accepted it as the women of the town started to get dressed and make themselves pretty for an occasion to come.

As for our brave hero he was busy One day he was leaving his house All of a sudden some of the girls told him that they need his help and it's urgent as he agreed to help them when he went to their homes the elders told him to take care as they all left their house This confused him a bit then when he saw where the girls were leading him It was a room This confused him first further Then the girls pushed men He thought they were joking then all of a sudden he saw that they were starting to strip They say they want to give him a reward as well as for the next few hours later.

TWO HOURS LATER:

The pleasure cries of a woman could be heard as some of the elders saw from the windows off that room as their daughters are having intercourse with him as he was grabbing one of them by the waist and one was balancing on him as this saw more than 10 girls were inside and feel the older women who lost their husbands decided to join as well That night and day it was nothing but sex for the girls as they all enjoy themselves with him as he kept on going He started to realize The girls won't leave him alone And she was done for the last one He left for the day as the others try to follow him He ran away using all his skills to hide in plain sight This happened The next few hours then they all give up as he made his way towards his home to rest for night He has a big day tomorrow.

As he was done he was going to his house then he saw Selena was standing outside but she wasn't wearing her normal barmaid suit but casual clothes as she told him she came here to meet him He knows why she was here but he was going to help her anyways as he made his way to his home and guided her in first you thought where is his useless Erebus friend of a god is She told him that he left to get some supplies or something like that as they both sat down and wanted to discuss The situation He was really tired But she told him that she wasn't here for sex She was here for something else She told him the good news that she will be a mother soon He was shocked but he knew his day will come He has to leave then she asked him something that shocked him She asked him what should she name him or her He never named anything before.

THE NEXT DAY :

As We can see that Jaune left soon after, purchasing all the supplies he needed which included a twin dagger, new set of armor and a new sword he even had his old spear maintained You figured it out that spear is made of strong good metal and the Smith made it is called crozo where the hell is he has new set of clothes and basic necessary supplies. All this amounted to almost the entire bag of Valis, leaving jaune with less than 10,0000 valis remaining in total.

Once everything was purchased and ready, jaune arc finally left the town of Agris and and saying is goodbyes to everyone as he left Selena bar who was happy and he promised her that he will visit her time by time as she kissed him good bye as he left area he saw locals sad at his departure and as the gaurd the stand by the wall and Gates and they were sad by there jaune departure as they had tears in there eye's and They started to salute him goodbyes as he saluted them back And headed to regroup with Erebus to see where the roads would take them.

THE OPEN ROADS :

TWO DAYS LATER :

It's been two day since jaune and Erebus had set off from the town of Agris, their supplies were barely holding and were depleting at a rapid pace. Jaune had only bought enough to get them out of the wasteland and once they were out, they, meaning jaune, had to resupply.

" Hey Jaune, I can see the grass in the distance !" Erebus said as he looked at jaune who turned to him. Erebus had a finger pointing to the side as he looked at jaune direction again and Once he started to follow the direction of where Erebus was pointing at, he saw the tiniest speck of green, peeking over the horizon at best.

"Finally!" Jaune exclaimed as he started to bent down on his knees and positioning himself to Sprint and this causing Erebus to lift an eyebrow at his actions and had a question on his mind.

"The faster we get there, the faster we will be able to resupply and If you get on, I can sprint there since I didn't need drank water and run out of stamina and breath slower" Erebus thought about it for a second before realizing what he's trying to say and nodding and told him to got on with It.

Jaune quickly took off at a rapid pace, even have have a lot of weight on him He's still was fast as he could with luggage air squad alongside Erebus on his back as he ran from the deserts to the grasslands as Erebus held on tighter on him as the wind resistance threatened to push him off. As Time flew by quickly like this, and before they knew it, they were about half way there In a few moments later as Erebus quirked an eyebrow as they passed a man in shining armor that looked brand new who tried to get them to stop For some reason as jaune snorted at the choice of clothing but decided not focus on it , Maybe he's just hypocritical.

Eventually, the surroundings started to slowly morph into something more hospitable for life in there eyes As the Grass started to appear by the side of the road, There were trees scattered far away from each other, but slowly becoming more abundant and Eventually, the sun started to get lower and jaune s stamina didn't even run out as someone else were to running They will took its heavy toll and as one in a shiny armor following them he eventually gave up as he was nearly hyperventilating at the speed. As They stopped before jaune let Erebus down, and knight quickly collapsed up to a tree that was close by. In the meantime, jaune and Erebus looked back over the Horizon with a long, questioning stare.

"Is something wrong?" Jaune asked as he peeked up through his friends new look with white locks that he dryed two days age.

"No. I was just wondering who that idiot was with full metal armor in a place that's practically a desert" jaune wanted to laugh at the mention and but Then he started to remember his situation and he heard heavy breathing coming form the knight for here as he saw him resting beneath the tree and still instead he, choked snorts came out instead.

"I don't know, but I have to agree that it is a weird choice of clothing," jaune said through scanning as he shook his shoulders a bit as Erebus simply shook his head at the impractical choice of the man clothes.

"Downright idiotic if you ask me. The metal would only wear him down over time because of its weight, and it would trap the head inside making it even warmer than it has to. There are so many things wrong wit-" jaune stopped listening as he opened the luggage he was carrying and he and his weapons before looking at the supplies they had left.

"Erebus" jaune said As he tried to get his friends attention as Erebus stopped rambling about and looked back at His follower.

"Yes my dear jaune?" Said mockingly.

"We should set camp here, we barely have enough water for four day and the food is basically enough for one meal at most" jaune arc said as he took out two bottles of water and some meat jerky and come home made soup and has before he left the bar.

"Hm well, you do have a point there" Erebus said before taking a look at his current situations and locations as a spotted a sign nearby by a road as they were following the direction which told them to where this one road way would take them another them to "But are you sure you want to go 'there of all the places?" Asked a concerned Erebus as he looked at Jaune waited for his reaction then he sighed at him before he started nodding like a six old kid.

"Yeah from what I have heard, the people of Orario and prison guards, the ones that will be after us won't look there of all places and From what I know, 'they' don't allow people of Orario in there and only accept travelers that can prove their fighting strength and power, and though only temporarily if they are men" Erebus understood what he was insinuating but the Originally they had planned to let the roads take them somewhere, but quickly realized that they had a higher chance of walking straight back into Orario with the abundance of roads that twisted and turned in that direction and It wasn't called the center of the world for nothing after all and Instead, jaune had chosen one location to stop that from happening so that they could stay there until they could pinpoint a location that they could safely place to settle or At least safe enough not to be found by the authorities of this world.

"So... what did you bring for us to eat this time?" Erebus asked him and as he turned around from the tree and checking the road.

"Oh, I just bought just something simple for the town . Some meat jerky some soups and meatballs and cron, two sandwiches and lastly a simple spice to make the jerky taste less... bland" Erebus nodded at him and before walking and sitting down near the tree.

" Ok I will go and gather some firewood for the camp fire and secure the premises You might never know, there might be some wandering monsters nearby this region" jaune told his Firend before nodded and walking away to complete his task at hand and Meanwhile, his Erebus nodded at him and lay down near the tree and start to relax and took out a water bottle and a quick sip from the water before pulling out a knife just for himself and After a few moments of rest then he started to unpack simple camping equipment to prepare for the camp.

As we can see Jaune walked through grasslands for searching some firewood and, stopping by, picking up different sized sticks from the ground to check if it can make a good firewood and to He really needs to planning on hunting some animals. He may have lived in a advance city, but he was a farmer once and He has gone camping with his family more than once and his father all this time everything he know and had been taught basic survival and he even thought his skills to his friends he remember how Ruby couldn't basically make fire or hunt He has to help her make some living as day went on as one team. He really does miss them Just been more than 500 years He barely remembers him how they look how they sounded It's just long hmmm His friends will see him as he is from the outside but they will never know how old he is now He basically their ancestor on his way and he found out that Selena's going to be a mom then it's his kid in a way he's excited he always wanted a family he'll have a family another the world well why not He doesn't know how to go back home anyways if he can ever leave he'll then find this way to live here.

The trip was relatively short as the trees were relatively close by and sticks had accumulated under the trees around those areas and over time as it's very rare for them to move.

Once jaune arc came back goes back home he will find a way and save his family his friends even he has to make sure he has to escape remnant he'll bring them here where they can start all over again, he found all of the firewood he quickly made his return back to his camp as the sun was going down rapidly and When he made it to the camp you saw that everything was prepared tents and the fireplace was ready he quickly put firewood in the fireplace start to set them up quickly started a fire with his camping skills before heating up the fire and then He brought out the meat and started making dinner After 20 minutes later he made a meatballs soups as they were eating with happiness. As They both had fallen into a comfortable silence.

It wasn't long before the night had consumed the daylight, and then the duo went to sleep and the last thing on jaune s mind being of happier days, alongside his family and friends as he used to roam around beacon academy as how many friends he has made and how he was planning on getting married We had all of them planned out and he left his home after the fall everything changed then his friends pulled him out and then Atlas and the Hethor whatever he goes it's like he's cursed to suffer good days never last forever sometimes darkness takes over far too much to to bear with. Has he closed his eyes remembering his good days and bad He slept like a child who was afraid to wake up in the morning.

CHANGE LOCATION

THE NEXT MORNING

THE CAMP SITE :

The light breeze alongside the sunlight woke jaune. Cackling of a campfire started to fill his ears as his eyes fluttered open slowly as he blocked the sunlight from his right hand as he looked around to see what's going on but he saw someone was sitting By the campfire place and it was Erebus, and he tending to the fire to keep the temperatures at a comfortable level a bet.

"Good morning, Erebus how are you doing" jaune said as he yawned as tried to get up from his bed. As Erebus turned his head around towards the blonde knight and giving him a light smile.

"Morning to you too and You won't be able to guess who passed us an hour ago" jaune arc tilted his head in confusion and then started to groggily, before pondering the optional on his face lit up slightly before shifting into suppressed laughter as figured something out.

"Please... Please don't say it was the guy in a mango armor and has funny horns on his Head" jaune said as Erebus just stared at him like he some kind of idiot or he is doing this on purpose, but few minutes later they started chuckled, nodding at each at the same time As jaune couldn't keep it in much longer as laughter broke out of his has one contain mouth.

....

....

....

....

....

....

....

....

....

....

....

....

...

And all of a sudden just started laughing.

"Hahahaha hahahaha, you're get to be kidding right mango armor! The guy is still going around in that armor?" Jaune waited kept laughing for a while with Erebus' chuckles a bit at his fellower foolish actions and thinking and started to imagine what will it looks like then all of a sudden he was on the backgrounds laughing while holding his stomach and few minutes later Once they calmed down After there outburst, as Erebus put on a more sheepish look on his face.

"Oh my god hahahaha jaune How did you know I didn't know you were awake the whole time You could have helped me make breakfast for us It was difficult making it" Erebus said to jaune All of a sudden he stopped laughing He just stared at him like he just told him some kind bad joke Then he has a face of horror on him then Erebus started laughing like crazy and he told him that he wasn't planning on Then jaune arc asked who passed them he told them that it was there friendly knight that he passed their camps one hour ago in his armor as jaune wanted to laugh at his friends a little way of thinking of the armor he was wearing But then he remembered something He used to do the same thing but his situation was different At least he was undead who did not feel heat or cold or anything of this sort. As he was lost in his thoughts he heard Erebus say something.

"Maybe we should tell him our little Firend that we will get him something better and lighter for him and might be better for his current situation" Erebus said and thought about this suggestion for a moment, before then he started to shaking his head in denial.

"No, let him suffer the consequences of his own choice and this Might teach him something very valuable" when jaune heard what Erebus said he want to object that way of thinking of his but he kept himself quiet at the situation he doesn't want to discuss this right now but they will later before he decided to getting up and ate the chicken soup ( It is chicken soup right ) that Erebus has been eating for a While. After he was done He's hard to stretch himself a bit and He then began packing up the camp, folding the blanket they slept on and then brought down the tents before putting the fire out and then started to covering up their tracks and as for Erebus who was put the equipment load them in his backpack and once everything was packed they face each other.

"Shall we my friend ?" Erebus asked him and as jaune nodded at him, as he leaning down on the ground to allow him to Carry his friend on his back and as few moments later as Erebus mounted on his back while have there equipment on his back ,They took off like a a formula one racing car ( if they have this in their world ) and once again, knowing that they will or would arrive at their destination by noon or night if no interruptions happened on there way.

The run for jaune was very refreshing as It allowed him to simply feel the fresh cold air as it flew by his face and going through his hair in a very pleasant manner indeed and It also allowed him to stop thinking's for a moment All of his worries are gone for few moments He's feel free, as his mind was solely focused on the running and getting to his destination, as well as not to go the wrong way as there were intersections that led to near by villages and maybe to a big City.

"So... what should we do once we arrive there ?" Erebus' voice snapped jaune out of his focus as he nearly tripped at this, and before pondering an answer.

The answer wasn't something as that simple as before as he thought what to say to him 'We will make money like before and then we will be leaving soon'. They needed some time to think for a plan and because of there recent events they needing to find another place to settled down and That would mean they would need to buy a temporary place to stay, which would mean even very more money needed.

"Well... first things first, we find some place to stay the night and - ..." Jaune began to speak as he is ,trying to form a plan of action at the very moment should be told he doesn't knows what to do at the moment He still is trying to learn about this world and it's surrounding, but as he painfully knew. It was the one thing jaune know too well that is his tactical mind many battles he's has fought in remnant or Lordran. He was always good with his plannings as he fought his way from the hordes of the undead and their bosses as he fought countless grims outsmarted them and he was techniques that no one else knew with experience of leading teams He knows what to do and needed to work on His social skills a little more He needs to learn about their world their secrets and their hacks so he needs to find a library and he needs to start reading.

"It doesn't matter at the moment if it's in the alleys or something inn, anything is better than that damn cell At the moment and Then all of a sudden he almost tripped and he saw different many rocks basically the entire land was a grassland but had more rocks than normal It was like someone put them on there on purpose as he started noticing the rocks more and more he started dodging them and "It was just an uneven rocks surrounded by a glass square and It was as if they tried to make it as uncomfortable as possible" Erebus said as he felt the rocks ski road as jaune nodded, at him and agreeing with him and his thinking.

"We will also need more money for our little organization to work..." jaune told him as Erebus looked around a bit then down for a second before thinking for solution.

"Well, that place is what we called it that we are going is kinda wild in sense ... .... and barbaric and so... perhaps something along the lines of some kind of street fighters kind of a system" jaune peeked back at this If they have street fighting as a system this is an ideal place for her friend Yang she will love this place, and Erebus quirking an eyebrow at his reaction.

"It's basically other words people watching you fighting someone else until one can't keep going, kinda like the a beat down, but with less stakes and only one person you're fighting." Erebus explained to him to see his reaction but he was slightly surprised at jaune reaction just now and does knowing what it was and then jaune nodded and spoke " I know what street fighting is It's like a street match well two fighters have to kill each other It's a blood bath in our world we call it a blood sport and in our world it's illegal Maybe in your world if not be if it is I can make more money", As Erebus pondering the idea their world have more similarities but differences at the same time It's fascinating and exciting Maybe one day he can visit his world.

"I don't know... Much about your worlds and their customs but it's not like I can be wrong In a way but we might find some shelter there and you can pick your fights" jaune told him and him not really liking the idea That's related to picking fights He might accidentally killed them in his standings He's pretty strong then I need to hold back more basically no magic That's going to be tough but I'll try.

"Think on the bright side My dear out rolling friend. This place has many higher level people too and You will increase your status along the way and Don't need to hold back your strength because those people won't and the main prize those matches are information if you want that and their information network I have heard and I have used to attack the center of the world and they can tell you about your friends if I'm correct" jaune arc nodded at that, after all, he would need to get information He needs to know where he is This world's history He knows a bit of it but he needs to know more What type of enemies threats they are ready to face and he needs to be prepared because he needs to find his friends wherever they are he hopes they're safe and if he wants to clear his name and find his way back home and stop that evil witch and he needs to get his armory back He needs to find Aurora after he's done with here .
