Keep in mind that this is just an more realistic idea of how I will due a self-insert. Also, there's elements involving "The Gamer". Now, then, let's do this!
I just finished watching the end of season 3, and I have to say, kind of heart wrenching.
Then again, I'm not a big fan of RWBY in the first place or know anything of Monty.
Sighing, I opened up my e-mail and noticed a new message.
Make things right?
It's not like I have anything else better to do. I opened the file and was greeted with:
Do you enjoy RWBY?
I tapped my fingers, thinking on it before replying, "Not that much, but it's cool."
With how things ended in Season 3, do you want to save everyone?
If I could, I would. However, they're fictional characters while I'm a writer.
And it was the truth. True, the multiverse theory is something, but what's the use when you can't access them? Hundred, if not, millions of fans watch the show and wish to save everyone, but it's just fiction. It's only "what if" and "one-shots" we assume happened between shows. Besides, I'm just a normal guy with no powers. Just then, another message appeared.
What if you can?
If I have a chance, I'll take it.
Wait... This feels like episode 1 of No Game No Life... Please don't tell me-
"THEN YOU SHALL HAVE IT!" a voice shouted as I was grabbed and pulled into a screen. I screamed as my room went dark, "WHAT THE HECK?!"
After being dragged through the screen, I saw multiple screens showing different universes of RWBY, ones that I recognize as fellow writers. My Turn. A Knight's New Fight. Twin Heroes of Remnant. All of the different scenes are showing the adventures. Just then, a figure materialized.
I remained silent before asking hesitantly, "You're Roman Torchwick, right?" 'Roman' chuckled before asking, "So that's what you see me as?" I admitted as I looked around, "Honestly, Roman is the character I respect the most. I mean, sure he's painted as the antagonist, but that's only because Cinder had dirt on him, forcing him to cooperate." "You're taking this in very calm." "Meh. You merely caught me off guard. With how crazy life has been, it kind of dulls things." "Well, get ready, because you're getting your very own universe!"
...
"What?"
Ignoring me, 'Roman' continued, "You also get to interact with the characters by replacing one!" "What." "Not only that, but you can assign the semblance!"
...
"Who the heck are you?" 'Roman' smiled and questioned, "Who, me? I'm Roman Torchwick!"
...
"Who am I replacing?" "Me, of course! Now, off you go~!"
I blinked before looking around, seeing 'my' reflection.
I have some characteristics of Roman Torchwick.
Orange hair that covers one of my eyes, dark green eyes, but no eyeliner (thank god). As for my clothes, I wore a white shirt with red lining, black jeans, and black sneakers. However, I'm missing Melodic Cudgel, and the bowler hat.
I felt my pockets and pulled out a scroll. Noting it's similar to an iPhone, I opened it up and went to notes.
I quickly made a to-do list:
- Find a fedora.
- Make a weapon.
- Change crucial events.
- Kill "C" and "S".
I muttered as I looked around, "All that's left is the ice-cream lady, my semblance, and I'm good to go." For my semblance, I have a simple yet fitting idea.
To test it, I spoke, "Status." Immediately, a blue box floated in front of me and showed:
Number of steals: 0/1
Inventory: 0/25
Grinning, I looked around for a volunteer to test my semblance.
As I wandered around, I saw a bunch of teens attacking a green haired girl.
... Green hair.
I walked up to the group and yelled, "Hey, hey, hey, hey! Isn't that enough?" "You telling me that beating a thief is too far?!" I calmly spoke, "No, but unless you want authorities to get the wrong story, get going." The leader scoffed before shoving me back and leaving with his group. I tried to hold back my grin as the same blue box showed me this:
Items to steal:
-Wallet (200 Lien)
-Dust Vials (1 Fire, 1 Ice, 1 Earth, 1 Electric)
-Gold Ring (worth 250 Lien)
-Clothes (total worth is 35 Lien)
Finally, I grinned before verbally commanding, "Steal All."
PING!
Thief Level: 1 = 2
Steals for next level: 0/3
Inventory: 4/25
Total number of people you can steal at once from: 1
A voice hesitantly asked, "Excuse me?" I turned to face the girl as she asked, "What are you grinning at?" I sat down next to her and reminded, "Better tell me your name before I answer that question." She pouted, before reluctantly answering, "I'm Emerald, Emerald Sustrai. So, who are you and what are you grinning at?"
I paused.
Who am I? I'm not the old me, because I'm not on Earth. But I replaced Roman...
I smiled before greeting with a nod, "Well, then. Hello, Ms. Sustrai. I'm Roman Torchwick, the Master Thief." She looked at me skeptically as I continued, "As for my grinning, well, I was testing my semblance." She tilted her head and asked, "What's a semblance?"
My grin dropped and asked in a dull tone, "You're kidding me... Do you know about Aura?" She shook her head as I sighed, before mentally opening my Inventory and giving her the clothes and wallet, starting, "Kid, you're going to need training."
And so, we have an insert involving Roman! Ready for a change in the story line with our favorite criminal ginger?
