《I Am The One Eyed Owl (RWBY X Abused OC)》Chapter 2 The Owl's Journey
Advertisement
Lisa: I'm Lisa Lavender, reporting in. Last night the One Eyed Owl struck again. This time, a Schnee dust train. It managed to derail the train and killed all security members. The Owl has been around for only a few weeks, but it has already made headlines across Remenant as a notorious killer. At first it was believed to work for the White Fang until footage was found of him destroying entire camps. Others believed to be a huntsman under cover until he was found destroying an entire village. Now many are wondering what is this creature. Is it human, faunas, grim, or some sort of Atlas experiment gone wrong? All we know is that this thing is a psychopath . In the meantime, residents of Vacuo beware. Recent sightings of the Owl have been near Shade Academy. This is Lisa Lavender, signing off.
I was roaming around Vacuo to lay low for a little bit. The entire place was covered with sand, but then again it is in a desert. I saw humans and faunas all around getting alone. It was nice to see a place without discrimination. I entered an alleyway to sit down. I heard some people yelling and get up. I saw a wolf faunas girl running my way. She had grey and black hair, teal eyes, ragged clothes, and was covered in dust. She bumped into me and fell down. Her face was stained with tears. A group of men entered the alley with pitchforks and knives.
Girl: P-please h-help m-me.
Man: Hey you! Hand over that dirty mutt!
Yin: What did she do?
Man: She stole something valuable from us!
Girl: I g-gave it b-back I swear.
Man: It doesn't matter, you deserve this beating for all the other things you took.
These men wanted her blood. I had to intervene.
Yin: I will only say this once, leave.
Man: You think you can stop us , GET HIM!
The men charged at me. I activated my blades and quickly mowed them all down. Blood spewed everywhere. The girl backed into a corner and was shaking with fear.
Girl: Y-you're t-the O-owl, p-please don't kill me.
Yin: What's your name?
The girl had a look of confusion on her face.
Jade: Jade
Yin: Why were you stealing?
Jade: I only stole food, I swear I was just so hungry. I have no money and no home.
I couldn't leave her like this. I could always use some help.

Yin: Come with me.
Jade: What, you're not going to kill me.
Yin: Why would I do that?
Jade: Well you did just destroy a village.
Yin: Let me tell you a story.
I sat down and told her the story of my life.
Jade: Damn that's pretty messed up.
Yin: I know, so you going to take my offer?
Jade: Yeah, not like I got anywhere else to be.
Yin: Great, but first you need a mask.
Timeskip
Jade has was known as the Black Dober since her mask looked like a Doberman. I've been training her and we found out she has a powerful semblance. We were now in Mistral searching for any thing to do. All of a sudden we come across a village being attacked by the White Fang.
Yin: Feel like taking down some white scum?
Jade: Always
We jumped down into the village below. Both me and Jade had hoods on.
WF: Hey we got more over here!
White Fang soldiers started to surround us. I noticed a monkey faunas just standing there with a look of sadness on his face as he observed the destroyed village.
WF: Ready to die scum.
Yin: I was going to say the same thing.
I showed my red and black eyes as I transformed while Jade put on her mask. I activated my blades as Jade made to big swords appear out of her forearm. The surrounding White Fang members were terrified.
WF: OH SHIT, OPEN FIRE!!!
The soldiers opened fire. Jade quickly ran and chopped down several members. I leaped forward and cut down even more. Jade threw daggers to kill some on a roof. I launched by shards and killed dozens. All that was left was the monkey faunas. We approached him. He held is arms up in defense.
Yin: Relax we just wanted to ask you something.
He put his arms down
Monkey: What do you want to know?
Yin: What is your name and why you are in the White Fang? You obviously cant kill anyone.
Aaron: My name is Aaron, and the reason I joined the White Fang is to help faunas gain rights. But when I joined, we did nothing but kill and plunder.
Yin: Say how would you like to join me on my journey.
Aaron: Are you sure, I cant even fight well?
Jade: Don't worry, I used to be weak but Yin trained me and now I can easily kill people.

Aaron: Fine I'll join
Timeskip(again)
Aaron, Jade, and I were heading back to Vale. We decided to avoid Atlas due to the military. Aaron has become a better fighter since we first met him. He is now known as the Devil Ape. He wears a red mask that resembles a demonic gorilla. We were all in disguise. Just ten we see a nevermore, deathstalker, and king taijitu.
Yin: Get them
I went after the nevermore, Aaron went after the deathstalker, and Jade went after the king taijitu. Aaron enlarged his tail and used it to block the deathstalker's tail. Aaron then took out his gun and shot all of the scorpion's eyes. It whipped it's tail around like crazy until Aaron slammed his tail into it, killing it. Jade dodged multiple strikes from the snake while throwing daggers at it. She leaped for its necked and left and x shaped cut. She then created a giant blade from her palm and stabbed the snake in the head. Finally the nevermore swooped towards me. I jumped and landed on the wing. I stabbed the wing and proceeded to cut it off. the nevermore proceeded to crash into the ground. I got up and tried to peck me. So I unleashed a storm of shards and killed the bird. All the grim turned into dust. We started to hear clapping. From the trees a crocodile faunas emerged with a large group of mercenaries.
Crocodile: I can see why you're so famous. That's a lot of power you got there. I'm afraid it comes at a price though.
Her gang unsheathed their weapons.
Yin: I don't think you know who I am.
Crocodile: Of course I do. You're the One Eyed Owl. The names Tock and these are the last 60 seconds of your life.
She activated her clock as a green aura surrounded her body. She charged at me, I went to slash her but my blade bounced off. She however managed to cut my chest. Meanwhile Jade and Aaron were being attacked by the others. Aaron easily knocked them away with his tail while Jade easily cut them down. I continued to try and hurt Tock, but that semblance of hers stopped me. She continued to slice me. However I would regenerate every time. I fired out shards but they just bounced off. Tock leaped into the air, but just then that green aura of hers disappeared. I extended by blade and cut her sides. She fell to the ground as blood leaked. her eyes widened as she saw her dead comrades.
Tock: How our you still walking after all the times I sliced me.
I made my mask disappear
Yin: Regeneration, I would usually kill you, but you have impressed me. No one has ever done that much damage to me. I have an offer, give up your ways and join me.
Tock: Deal
Yin: Good, Jade heal her up.
Jade: I'm on it
Jade took out a med kit and treated Tock. I walked away until Aaron confronted me.
Aaron: We got a problem, now that Tock has joined our group we will have less money than usual. What are we going to do?
I stood there thinking for a second. Then an idea popped into my mind.
Yin: Who here knows how to make coffee?
Everyone looked at me confused
Timeskip(yes another one)
Yin: Okay guys this our opening day. I swear to god you mess this up, And you know with me that's a guarantee.
Tock: How did I go from a mercenary to a barista?
Yin: Hey, we have a roof over our heads, food, and were lying low.
Aaron: I would prefer traveling.
Jade: I don't mind working here. I could use a break
I went out our front door to flip the open sign for my new coffee shop, Anteiku. We decided to open it in Vale to lay low for a while. Hope everything works out.
NO POV
Lisa: This is Lisa Lavender reporting in. Recent sighting of the One Eyed Owl and his gang have been seen in surrounding villages. We urge all citizens to take precautions and get inside before it gets dark.
The show ends. The scene changes to the Beacon cafeteria.
Blake: I can't believe the Owl's coming this way.
Yang: What would you think would happen if we came across him.
Nora: WE BREAK HIS LEGS!
Weiss: More like we would die. He has killed professional huntsman and huntresses.
Ruby: But we could take on the Black Dober, Devil Ape, or Cold Blood.
Speaker: Attention students, we restrict you from any attempt to confront the One eyed Owl, Black Dober, Devil Ape, and Cold Blood. We also are establishing a new curfew. Any breaking in these new rules will be grounds for suspension.
Ruby: Well there goes that.
Jaune: I'm going guys.
Pyrrha: See ya Jaune
Jaune left the cafeteria
Jaune(thought): Strange, the day Yin dies this Owl guy shows up. Wonder if it's connected somehow.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
