Chapter 1 (Shadower)


City of Vale

Strolling through the street of City of Vale, An elite explorer, dress in casual clothes with blue jean, black shirt with grey hoodie, with black shoes casually walked down the street looking for something.

He recently been assigned to explore and investigate an new interdimensional portal that was recently discovered by Grendel the really old and his subordinate as they were testing out new portal to another world. After Grendel informed the other job instructors about the recent development, they decided the best course of action is send in an powerful-level explorer who have obtained status of the legend and recognized in the echelon explorer community, and have expert experience on gathering information without giving out suspicion or details about themselves. Seem like this quest is right for one job.

Maple Alliance has been notified about this, although they are seem to be too occupy on their own problems to care.

Alec, or his true name Alexander, a Shadower entering in a Public Library to look for more information about this world, whether it would be society, government structure, history, technology, power source call aura and dust these so-call-huntsman uses in their field, monsters call grimm, and so forth. He only been here for several weeks and still have many research to go through before reporting back to his superiors.

Sadly though, the public library in Vale doesn't much information as he wanted. He heard the Beacon Academy, who trained-to-be the so-call-huntsman, have a larger library full with variable information he can drive into. Just thinking about it almost felt like he's a Magician, almost.

Too bad he's not a student, but he never intended to be one much to Grendel disappointment when he urge him to enroll. He already been through enough schooling back in his Maple World, and another world call Earth.

Being in Remnant, what this world is call, has been uncomplicated. It's been easy for him to adjust to this world due to similarity to Maple World, Earth, Pantheon, and other dimensions. Luckily, Alec was able to understand the spoken language and text writing in this world, due to the very similarity on Earth and Maple World. He mentally sighed a relief. No more barrier language.

After hours of research, the Shadower decided to get some rest as the night covered the sky. Stepping outside of the library the Legendary Thief, wearing casual clothes, put on his hood as he make his quick stop at a dust shop to purchase some dust for the magician job instructor to study. That really really old man sure like those stuff.


From Dust Till Dawn.

Pretty much the only dust shop Alec can shop to without any suspicious. After arrived at Vale, this was his first shop he ran into in this world. To his surprise, after asking the old man who run the shop, that Remnant has many similarity and difference for this world and his.

After his first discovery of the dust, Grendel been bothering to get more and different kind of sample dust he can experiment on. More like he's asking to send a shipping freight of dust to play with.

While purchasing some dust, he noticed a man with white suit and bowler hat came in along with few men in black suits, and one of them jabbed a gun behind shadower head.

Bad mistake.


"Move aside, or we- Ack!"

In unpredictable speed the hooded figure grab the white goon wrist, twisted it violently, forcing him to disarm, and kick in solar plexus causing him to be sent flying out of the shop and knocked out before he had a chanced to think of retaliation.

The white suited man give an unbelief but annoying looks toward the person who knock out one of his man.

"Ok… get him."

With that said, rest of the men-in-black came charging at him with red sword and rifle.

The explorer thief ready himself as he sidestep a vertical slash. Two other came in try to give slash their target but no avail as the thief easily dodges their attack.

After another try to cut his opponent down, the stranger grab the arm who just missed his slash and give a round kick to the side causing the black suit criminal sent across the street. The second thug came in charging but Alec caught his wrist and punch him in the face causes a blood nose; fail to notice he was about received another punch in the gut causing him to be knocked out. The third hired gun pull out his assault rifle and shoot at the hooded figure. The shadower dodges the incoming bullets and rush over to the goons and he swipe down to give a low kick, causing him to trip over and delivered a kicking blow to his head, sending him unconscious on the sidewalk.

The bowler hat man walked out of the shop looking amused but carry disappointment as he witness his men knocked out quick and easy by a stranger who just uses his bare hand.

"Impressive display of work, however we going to have to cut our meeting." He raised his Melodic Cudgel, ready to get rid of this persistence who just ruined his plan of operation to steal dust.

But he never got a chance to pull the trigger as he jump aside to dodge a huge red-scythe came down on him.

Now looking where the attack came from, he saw a young girl wearing a black goth dress with red cloak in a ready stance with red-scythe. Great, now he have to deal with two person, one who is particular good at knocking people out swiftly. So the Master Criminal decided to do one thing he's good at.

Run.

"Hey, Wait!" The red hair girl shirked as she chases after him.


Alec is not amused. First some gang tried to kill him but failed miserably, and second the bowler hat man, namely the Notorious Criminal Roman Torchwick, decided run with a red haired girl tailed behind him.

Great, now he has to go and make sure the red-scythe huntress doesn't get herself killed from this dumb criminal.

Using his flash jump ability, he quickly leap his way toward the building they are standing on.

Landing next to the red haired girl, they faced the criminal as he turned around muttering some word in annoyance.

Alec materialize his Raven Horn Baselard in his right hand from his dimensional inventory, a fine red-steel dagger that has been through many battles.

Ready his stance, the Shadower is prepare to draw the first blood until the airship hover near by him allowing the criminal to hop on.

Roman fired his cane-cannon gun at them, causing both the Shadower and red head girl to dodge his attack. Thinking quickly, Alec need to find a way to bring down the airship without exposing himself or his ability and power.

Resorting back to his old thief skill, the explorer throw shurikens at the airship aiming at the engine hoping to either make it lose control and crash or fall down all together with the criminal.

Seeing the bowler hat scowled at him as he futility shoot at the legendary thief and seeing him try to bring down the ship, he traded places what it now to seem a woman in red dress.

Suddenly Alec eyes went wide as he just dodged her attack which is more terrifying when the floor erupt into pillars of fire.

Now scowling at the woman with annoyance, in this situation, he will need to pull out some skills which he tried avoid using at all cost.

Readying his dagger, the shadower dash forward as he uses his flash jump to make his way into the air close to the airship to his use one of his chief bandit skill. The woman fired some fireball right at the incoming explorer, but with his great sharpness he was able to dodge it.

Now close enough, he utter two words they didn't expect.

"Phase Dash!"

The elite thief uses his might as he pushed his attack into the airship and hopefully shred it however it was block by a woman using some kind of force field shield. But it didn't save her from wide glowing amber eyes as she felt herself and the airship being pushed back.

As much of Alec annoyance, he didn't push enough force to down a ship but he watch it retreated away as he landed back on the roof.

"That was SOO COOL!" the red headed girl chirped loudly while came in front of him with stars in her eyes, "How did you do that!? Are you a hunter? Was that your semblance? Can your knife do other awesome moves or transform into a weapon?"

The shadower blinked, then a small smile appeared on his face, "It's a secret, can't tell."

"Awwww…" the girl dejected, but she look backed up with a smile. "Thanks for helping… um… what's your name?"

Before he had a chance to answer another woman, a bit older with glasses and blond hair, came up to them with a scrowl, "It seem my intervention was unnecessary. However, I must asked both of you to come with me." Leaving a tone with no argument.

The hooded figure tilted his head a bit before starting to walk in other direction to leave the scene.

"Excuse me, but where do you think you are going!?" the woman demanded in irritated voice.

Alec turn his head slighted to see them, "Going to sleep." That all he said before disappeared in purple flash, leaving behind an angry woman and a terrified/confused girl.


Forever Fall

The legendary thief landed in the forest after using his combination of haste and flash jump to escape the city instantaneously without dealing with that woman.

Alec scowled at himself. Tonight was not a good night. The notorious criminal Roman attacked him and he was forced to use one of his thief skill to fend off the mysterious woman. Although he was able to get away, there was cameras around the city and there's no doubt they caught some of the footage.

Great, now he will hear never ending chew out by the Dark Lord and his friends will make fun of him for being a bad thief who should never leave any traces behind.

He was just glad Lady Syl is not his master, or things would be much worse when facing her wrath.

While walking to his little hideout in the cave, he was lost in thought about his fight. That mysterious woman, when she was using her power it wasn't just her aura or semblance there was something else to it. It almost felt like mana or magic power being used in it, almost similar to the power source the explorers and others uses back at Maple World.

Is there magic in this world as well?

Shaking his head, the shadower decided to put it off and try to get some rest.

He got many things to do tomorrow and he's not looking forward to it.
