Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY

Why didn't I do this?

While I stared at the thing's name and stats a lot of questions started cropping out. Did RWBY had an enemy like this? Why does everyone else see it as a Grimm and I don't? Where did it come from? How do I beat it? Isn't Necrosis a medical term?

While I thought this through, I opened my status menu and saw that I had over sixty stat points to use. Yeah, I am going to spend some of this. Distributing the stats, I pushed my strength, agility and endurance to fifty which unlocked a few skills that made me beastly.

Skill: Beginner Beastly Muscle Power learnt!

Skill: Beginner Beastly reflex learnt!

Skill: Beginner Beastly endurance learnt!

The effects were interesting to say the least. The first skill increases all physical attacks by fifteen percent and the second skill increases my physical speed and effects of physical skills by fifteen percent. The third skill increases my defence by fifteen percent and my health by ten percent.

Hmm, I still have a ton of stat points left…

Opening my skill list and inventory I took stock at everything I had; my equipment, items and skills. After a few minutes of thinking I decided that there is something I can do and double checking the available stat points and doing some calculations in my head I had enough to pull it off. I added stat points to wisdom, boosting it to fifty as well.

Skill: Greater Understanding learnt!

My eyebrow rose. It seems that my system granted me a skill once wisdom reaches fifty, unlike The Gamer's which only granted him a skill once his wisdom reached one-hundred. Neat. It looks like the skill increases mana recovery and magic resistance by forty percent. Now that I think about it, the Gamer's system only granted him a skill for his other stats when his strength, agility and vitality reached one-hundred and not fifty too, as if it was trying to tell the gamer from the beginning to go the mage route.

I then began thinking through a bit more. Now with my wisdom increased I can feel myself thinking of more possible measures I can take. Looking around I noticed a few street lights. They were made differently from the ones I am used to.

I smirked. It's not a good idea, but it is an idea.

It took me a few minutes to prepare, a lot more than what I intended but with my Wisdom increased I got more and more ideas. Also, my understanding about my skills and abilities were also getting better.

I arrived at my destination to find Qrow was already there. Figures, with me taking so long and Qrow's crow form he would get here faster. He seemed to be looking around the place. His guard was up and he seemed ready to sprint into action.

I realised quickly that the Necrosis must have turned invisible only recently. That means Qrow must have fought it off. I noticed that he didn't have a scratch on him and his breathing wasn't any heavier.

Figures, he is a professional huntsman while I am not. I noticed a severed arm on the ground. Seemed that Qrow also got an arm. Aside from that, I don't sense any Bloodlust in the area, except from Qrow, meaning the creature is probably gone.

"The Ne… Grimm is gone now." I called out. Might as well tell Qrow that now so he would stop wasting time and alert him of my presence from a far so that he wouldn't get to jumpy and behead me.

Qrow tensed for a moment before glancing back at me. "You can tell kid?" Qrow asked. I felt a bit annoyed for being referred to as a kid but bit back a retort. It can't be helped since I look like a teenager right now.

"Yeah I can," I replied, "Call it instinct or whatever but I can tell if that thing is nearby or not. Helped me stay alive for a few minutes against it earlier." I noticed that Qrow scanned the area one more time before turning around to face me.

"I'm guessing you can't use that sixth sense of yours to track this thing down?" He asked.

I shook my head, "I can detect bloodlust within a certain radius so I have to be close enough to detect it." Or, if the bloodlust is directed towards me which would increase the range of my bloodlust detection by a lot.

"Yeah, I thought so," Qrow muttered, "You should head back to your house kid if you know what's good for you." Qrow said. I felt a bit annoyed at being called a kid before remembering that I am a nine years old right now.

I was tempted to ask "What home?" But held back. No need to give away too much info. I simply closed my eyes and focus. Another stat I had increased was intelligence up to one hundred. Aside from the two passive abilities that increase my magic abilities I also gained that random brain related skill.

Unfortunately, it wasn't telekinesis. Fortunately, this ability can help me find my target. As I focus on my skill, I can sense the emotions of the people around me. Seriously, despite being level one isn't this skill's range a bit too large?

Eventually, I detected the emotion of panic, fear and terror that flooded my senses. "Okay then, see you around Mr. Branwen," I replied before running in the direction where I felt the disturbance. I soon realised my blunder after a few seconds.

Now his going to wonder how I know his last name. I sigh. The damage is done so no point in me getting worked up about it. After a few minutes of running with sprint, bio-electricity and reinforcement active I eventually arrived at my destination.

I stopped a few dozen feet away from where the smoke is coming from before activating my hide skill and quickly, but stealthy approach the closest vehicle, a van, and hide behind it. Peaking over, I saw the Necrosis dragged a human into its stomach with its worms. The man screams and cries out for help before being pulled in.

What I saw happened to him was so horrible that I had to look away and struggled to keep myself from vomiting. Oh god, anime never made something like that look so horrifying and the fact that the stomach was opened for all to see didn't make it any better.

I closed my eyes and meditated for a bit before reaching into my inventory and pulling out something I had prepared. In the next moment I had a black lance that was six feet long with a pointed end on one end and blunt on the other.

I was thankful that the construct skill also works on the street lights which was strangely made out of some sort of conductive metal. Then again, this place uses Dust not electricity. I stood up and pulled my right arm back, taking aim with my new weapon. Again, activating every single form of reinforcement I have to strengthened my arm I also used my other skill.

Completely encasing the lance in blue electricity, electricity created from chakra, formed from combining mana and stamina, I threw the sucker so hard I am pretty sure I heard a 'BOOM!'. I was honestly shock by that. I didn't think that my throw would be strong enough to break the sound barrier.

The necrosis turned around upon hearing that and I was impressed that it had time to try to dodge. Unfortunately, it didn't try hard enough. The weapon didn't hit its head because I had underestimated myself and aimed for its torso instead. I had thought that the attack would be noticed by the necrosis and it would be able to dodge the lance in time if it went for the head.

If I knew the throw would be that strong and fast, I would have aimed for its head and ended everything right then and there. The necrosis was only able to move a few millimetres before the attack completely pierced through its upper right arm and continued until the lance hit and pierced the wall of a, hopefully, abandoned building.

"I'm sorry!" I called out just in case before turning back towards the necrosis. It looks like Qrow had cut of its lower right arm and my attack just caused it to lose its lower right arm. Now all that's left is its left arms.

I was still a bit shocked at how strong the effects are but I especially noticed that the lightning lance was a lot stronger than I had thought, on top of my reinforcement before remembering something important.

That lance used chakra, a combination of mana and stamina. So, in other words it is the combination of both physical and magical power… So basically, any chakra-based skill will reap the benefit of all magic and physical based passives. Cool, maybe I should train my chakra manipulation more.

The necrosis let out an inhumane roar before charging at me but considering the fact it can only move forward with its left side the 'charge' look awkward and kind of slow. I almost felt sorry for it before remembering what it did to that guy a few moments ago.

Reaching into my inventory, I pulled out a ball made out of scraps from the Atlesian Knights mixed with fire and water dust. I threw it at the Necrosis before taking aim with my index finger. Once the ball of scraps got close enough, I shoot a bolt of lightning at it, causing the dust to explode and letting out a lot of steam that blinded the necrosis temporarily.

I summoned another lance but this one had both sides blunt and had a piece of long white cloth wrapped around it. I threw it into the cloud of steam towards the right side of the necrosis while I leapt towards its left and above the steam.

I felt the necrosis bloodlust peaked the moments before I grabbed and held onto an opened window of the building, followed by a loud clanging sound. That moment gave let me know that the necrosis had not move from its spot and that it had attacked my decoy. And since the necrosis only had left arms it had to turn right, meaning its back is now facing me.

Taking advantage of the moment I leapt into the steam cloud with another lance in my left hand and my right before encasing both with blue electricity. As I entered the cloud, I saw that my plan had worked and the necrosis had its back facing me.

I pierce the necrosis where on either side of its collarbone, causing it to wail in pain. The Necrosis began thrashing around, trying to get me of it but I held on. Letting go of one of the lances, I pulled out another lance and pressed it against the Necrosis's neck.

"Construct," in the next moment, the lance became a curved weapon that wrapped around the creature's head with the bladed edge pressing against its neck. Encasing the new weapon in blue electricity as well, I pulled on the weapon.

You have defeated the Necrosis!

You levelled up!

You levelled up!

You levelled up!

I tuned out the notification and began cutting the necrosis into smaller pieces before putting them into my inventory. I took the things legs as well and cursed that I wasn't able to recover the arm Qrow severed. I don't know what this is but it might be connected to why I am here and maybe these pieces can also be used as material.

I was disgusted by the worms but I just pushed it in anyway. Soon enough I detected the familiar feeling of a certain Qrow. I really am thankful for my telepathy for that. Now to move on to my next plan.

I took out one of the claws I had of the Necrosis and ran them through my stomach. Was it painful? Yes, yes it was. With that done, I sent the thing back into my inventory and stumbled towards the nearest wall, turning around and just sat there with my back leaning on it.

Looking at my health I can see it trickling down. Using my bio-electricity, I healed myself a bit to prevent myself from dying due to blood lost but not too much until I healed my wounds completely. Damn, this hurt but I'd rather get this done and over with as fast as possible.

After a few moments I caught the saw Qrow rushing into the area. "Hey!" I called out while raising my right arm. Qrow noticed me and quickly ran to my side. Thank God for a huntsmen's slightly enhanced senses coupled with huntsmen training.

"Crap, what happened here?" Qrow asked as he bent down and studied my wounds. "You alright kid? Where did that Grimm go?" Qrow asked before taking a quick look around before turning back to me.

"Can't you tell?" I asked with a smirk, "It was either I killed it or it killed me before you got here and seeing that I am alive…" Hey, I killed an alpha and a few lesser Grimm before adding this kill under my belt today. I am allowed to feel proud at least this once.

"Hmph, don't sound to smug. That Grimm broke your aura after all." Qrow chastised.

Okay now, here goes nothing. "Yeah, about that…" Crap, I don't want to draw attention to myself but I really want it. Maybe it would be better to stay quite but that fight with the Necrosis and Alpha manticore earlier taught me that I need to get as strong as possible so maybe a little attention wouldn't be too bad if it meant survival.

"I… don't have aura." I said. Qrow blinked a few times before looking straight into my eyes. A few moments passed before he burst out laughing.

"Go-good one kid," Qrow said as he calmed down, "I almost thought you were serious." He stopped laughing when he looked at my face again. My grimace must have told him that I was serious. "Wait, your serious?" Qrow asked.

He looked at me as if he was having a hard time believing that I don't have aura. "Guh, look how about you try unlocking my aura? If I am telling the truth my aura will be unlocked and if I am not then nothing will happen." I said.

Seriously, this is really painful and I stopped using bio-electricity when Qrow got here since he might notice the lightning. Qrow rubbed his forehead a bit before nodding. "Yeah, I guess you have a point besides," Glancing at my wound, he said, "You probably need it."

He places a hand on my chest, "For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all, infinite in distance and unbound by death. I release your soul and by my shoulder protect thee." At the end of his chant a bright glow illuminated the area around us and I can feel some form of energy leaving him and entering.

My eyes widen at the sudden rush of power as I feel like some sort of lock on my soul had been released. As the light died down, another appeared. A red energy cloaked my form as messages started to pop up.

Your aura has been unlocked!

Light element detected!

Aura manipulation unlocked!

Dark element detected!

Semblance: Moonslice unlocked!

Well this supports my theory about aura though I ama bit disappointed my soul did not influence the semblance I got.

Aether element detected!

Excuse, me what?

Aether element is now combining with light element and dark element!

"What!?" I cried out loud, startling Qrow, who stumbled back from exhaustion and surprise as my aura began to intensify.

Combination complete!

Aethereal Aura manipulation unlocked!

Aethereal Semblance: Twilight Consumer unlocked!

Once I got those messages my aura began to radiate an even brighter glow than Qrow's had. And with a sudden pulse of energy the glow began to subside and my aura returned to normal. I looked at Qrow with wide eyes and Qrow just stared at me with the look of utter shock on his face.

"So…" I decided to break the silence, "That wasn't supposed to happen, was it?"

Wow, this took a while. Sorry about that. To be honest I could have finished this earlier but after the quarantine took place, I downloaded a few games on my PC and got… distracted. Hehe, anyway. This chapter is a bit short due to its main purpose being to tell al of you that I still have this story on my mind.

And for those who are wondering where the heck did aether come from, it will be explained in the future chapter and for those who are familiar with all types of different stories of the creation of humanity and know what aether is will probably figure out why the Aether element is here. And can guess what this could mean.

No respond to reviews this time because I feel a bit weird responding to messages that were sent to me a month or two ago sorry. But if you guys want me to do that then just tell me and I will try my best to respond to you.
