Chapter 1: Death Isn't The End

(Unknown)

In a dark void, that I find myself familiar with after devouring all those [Souls] made up as the [Sea of Souls], but now a complete void of nothingness.

I can't even see my own hands. Hell, I didn't think I still have a hand while being just a [Soul]. And I know for sure I haven't entered the universe of Bleach, because by then, I should have some kind of humanoid body or a body.

Thinking about my two loved ones back in the RWBY universe had put a bitter taste in my mouth if I had a mouth that is. Nonetheless, I hate how I left them behind without staying behind just to be with them a bit longer.

But, I already have a feeling my time is already fixed and the reason why I started killing off many people. It didn't matter to me if they were innocent in some people's eyes.

To me, no one is innocent and it just takes time before they do something that would put them as the bad people in society. After all, being singled out by the people is a common thing. With how people fear the unknown while those that are powerful enough will be that person, who is singled out by others.

As I continue to drift in this endless void and curious as to when I'll enter my new life, wondering if I would enter the new universe like the previous one. Also, becoming a newborn that reincarnated into that universe as a native.

Or maybe I would end up entering the new universe with my previous physical body known as Enma Nikos.

If I had a face right now, I would be frowning at this point, to find out my identity as Enma Nikos is no longer mine and will be just a memory, who knows if I will be called by that name in my next life and the next.

At least, I'm allowed to keep my memories of my previous identity as Enma Nikos instead of losing it like I did with my first life. Honestly, I don't even know if that was my first life or the many before it.

'But, seriously, how long am I going to drift in this void, at least let me have a body of my own to do something.' I thought in annoyance for nothing being able to do anything so far.

I blink as if I have eyes and notice a bright white at an end of a tunnel; well, that's what I'm going for as that's what I'm seeing and heading straight towards it.

Day 1: A New Start

(Unknown)

I open my eyes and was shocked that I can see colors, as in other than black.

Quickly, I look down and found I have a body, with I was thankfully is a male and wearing clothes.

A purple suit and pants, underneath this suit, is a black vest with a red long-sleeved shirt with a purple tie, that has a white cross at the end, with my purple pants with a matching white cross on the left side of the pant in the front.

I pluck a strand of my hair, to see what the color of the hair and found it red.

"Well, at least I got something to remind me of Pyrrha." I smile that at least my new body has the same hair color as my previous life as Enma Nikos and reminds me of being her older twin brother.

I frown a little as I get a good look at myself and decide I may as well stick to this new color pattern of mine. At least the purple kind of match with the black and red. And also remind me of Shigure as well, as she wears lots of purple color clothes.

"Now, where the hell am I?" I look around to see anything that should trigger some of my memories, or the memories belong to those [Souls] I ate. I can't forget about the new knowledge of mine.

Looking up at the sky and notice it's still daylight time, along with the fact that I'm in a large forest.

Thinking about what my next course of plans when something caught my attention.

DING!*

You have become the first host of the [Type-Moon System] and is found by meeting the special requirements. [Type-Moon System] binding successful. Host: Unknown.

DING!*

Host, please name yourself as being one of the hosts to hold of the many [Systems] is shameful for being a no-name.

I look at this with a bit of shock, that I became a host for another [System] and for the [Type-Moon System] at that.

Honestly, I don't know if this is a good or bad thing, depending on what universe I end up in.

But, before that, I better come up with a name for this new life of mine and I got the feeling that I would lose this [Type-Moon System] if I don't come up with one soon.

So, thinking about it for a few seconds before I got something.

DING!*

Host: First Name: Asura. Last Name: Rokudo, thank you for identifying yourself.

DING!*

I'm very tempted to grab that [Projection], but stop myself from picking the wrong choice. As I have no clue if the things I created with [Projection] will stay forever or degrade in a matter of times.

If I'm in the Nasuverse, then it will, but if not, then who knows if this could be considered overpowered [Magecraft] to have or not.

As for some of these other [Magecraft], I have no clue, seeing as I have [Skills] I have acquired from the [Souls] I devoured from the formerly known as the [Sea of Souls].

No clue if I should use any of them at the moment, as using them with my previous body literally killing it without any much control over that raw power known as [Soul Energy] from my very [Soul] itself. So yeah, I'm going to need to take some time to find the right [Skills] or [Techniques] to help me control my massive [Soul Energy] or I end up destroying this new body of mine.

I can tell this new body of mine is a more lot durable than my previous body, but it can still be destroyed by my [Soul]. So, I got a new [System] and a body to work on if I want to even live more than just a few years from now.

But, before I pick any of these [Magecraft]. I got to think about how do I earn more [System Points]. As I don't think there are any [Dust] in this new universe I'm in. So that's out.

And it looks like I won't be able to find out how until I pick one of these [Magecraft] first.

After a while, I decided to pick [Alchemy], then winced a little at the knowledge and instinct on how to use my new [Magecraft] with my [Magatamas/Magic Circuits] and even with my own [Soul energy].

DING!*

The host has picked the [Magecraft: Alchemy] and will now have access to the basic features of the [Type-Moon System].

I shook my head and wonder if I should try out [Alchemy] now or work on my body before I end up destroying it again.

Not to mention, that I can easily tell, with this body of mine isn't even at the [Demi-Fiend]'s level of toughness. Which made it worse for me in my opinion. At least, this body contains my 25 [Magatamas/Magic Circuits]. 'Maybe this is one of the requirements, the [Type-Moon System] picked me as its host.'

Looking around, I find myself wondering if I'm far away from civilization. I would rather not live in the forest if I could help it and look at my new [System: Type-Moon].

Now, that I have unlocked the basic features of the [Type-Moon System]. I just hope it tells me how to earn [System Points] unlike my former [Persona System], which I had to discover myself.

Then deadpan when I just thought about how to earn [System Points] and the [Type-Moon System] gave me the answer. I really wish the [Persona System] would be a bit more helpful like the [Type-Moon System].

Well, from what the [Type-Moon System] tells me is that there are multiple ways to earn [System Points], but some of them require me discovering it myself. Of course.

Among the many ways to how to earn [System Points] now is by using my [Magecraft] and figure out how to use it in other ways until I reach the next rank. Oh yeah, the [Type-Moon System] also follows the same [Ranking System: Basic, Trainee, Official, Expert, Advanced, Master, and Grandmaster].

But, without having to take the whole [Mastery Test] and doesn't have any [Training Methods], which I don't know if that is a good thing or not. But, at least I know how to use the [Magecraft] at the get-go the moment I obtain it.

Anyway, the other available methods for me to earn [System Points] is by using any [Magecraft] to improve, create, or other ways, on random things and the [Type-Moon System] will decide if this action of mine worth any [System Points] at all.

In a way, the [Type-Moon System] is more towards a scholar's path than a fighter's path like the [Persona System]. But, I can still earn [System Points] via killing still. Which is another method to earn [System Points].

Honestly, I got the feeling because of the amount of [Souls] I devour back in my previous life. I have all the [Skills] to use in combat-related things while the [Type-Moon System] does have combat-related [Skills] and [Magecraft], doesn't mean it's more focus on combat.

Therefore, the [Type-Moon System] explained how killing will give me some [System Points], but not a lot. So it's a good thing I picked [Alchemy] or I would have some trouble with the other [Magecraft], to earn [System Points].

I hum to myself and think about how to use [Alchemy] to earn myself some [System Points] as I checked, I have zero [System Points] to my name.

Walking to a nearby tree and poke it with my left index finger and apply [Alchemy] onto the tree, but made sure to use one [Magatama/Magic Circuit] instead of all 25 or my own [Soul Energy].

But, nothing happens until I remember I need a mental trigger to activate my [Magic Circuit], which then I would activate the [Magecraft].

So, thinking about something that I'm very familiar with and won't forget anytime soon.

It didn't take even a minute when I picked a mental trigger, which was my head being shot by an [Evoker]. I can never forget something like that, so I picked that as my mental trigger from this point on.

Once more, I place my left index finger on the tree and activate 1 [Magic Circuit] upon using the mental trigger I chose from countless others.

The result? The tree exploded into pieces and that was just using 1 [Magic Circuit]. I don't even want to find out what happens if I use all 25 of them.

DING!*

System Message: I'll be honest, you didn't even bother to think about how to use [Alchemy] and may not be the right [Magecraft] for you. Either way, I got to give you something for discovering how to use your own [Magecraft].

Reward: 10 [System Points]

Note: You won't get any more [System Points] by blowing up trees from this point on.

I took a glance at what I could get with just a little amount of [System Points] and was disappointed that almost everything in the [Type-Moon System] is over 10 [System Points].

The only things that cost 10 [System Points] or less are literally fruits for me to eat. Well, I got some way to buy myself some food to eat without dying of starvation. As for water, well, I can just use my [Soul Energy] to draw the water from around me after purifying it before I could drink it.

Can't have my body dying on me when I just got it. After all, if I can't reborn into this new universe like how I did as Enma Nikos, then a new body will be created to host my [Soul].

Really wonder how this body, with clothes thankfully enough, was created in the first place and wonder if the next life would be the same. Not that I have any desire to die anytime soon.

But, first, I need to continue figuring how to use my [Alchemy] to earn more [System Points] so I could grab that [Structural Grasp] and [Projection]. Mostly, the [Structural Grasp] than [Projection].

Honestly, using those two [Magecraft] with [Alchemy] would make things a lot easier for me. Of course, I could get that [Reinforcement] too, as it would help out if I use all four together.

Plus, I didn't really care if I can't get Shirou Emiya's [Magecraft: Tracing] to recreate [Noble Phantasm].

Because the [Type-Moon System] actually gives me the option to purchase all [Noble Phantasm] with enough [System Points] to buy them and would change the [Noble Phantasm] to allow me to use them. Otherwise, it would be a waste of [System Points] for having unusable [Noble Phantasm].

Yeah, looking at that section within the [Type-Moon System] was just a bit of a surprise, but not completely with all the things I went through with the [Persona System].

Looking around to see if there anything else I should do with [Alchemy], then decide I should work on my body now than work on my [Type-Moon System]. I can't use something if I end up dead before I could even use the [Type-Moon System] than a year or two.

First, I need to work on the control of my [Soul Energy]. Closing my eyes as I search through the countless of other memories that I have taken for myself and find the one that I could use right now and could still be used for years.

Looking at the thousands of [Skills] with a single thought, I have found one that simple, but have a variety of usage. Along with a headache afterward.

[Renkankei-kikou], giving the user the ability to control the [Energy Flow] of their own and other people's bodies as well as the area around them. With this, the user is able to give them inhuman strength and apply pressure to and control people's internal organs or functions. Also, able the user to withstand attacks and create non-[Magic], like an [Energy Orb] as big as the user's body.

This is a [Skill] that won't register within the [Type-Moon System]; nonetheless, this is a [Skill] perfect for me. As I already got the knowledge and the instinct on how to use it like how I gained [Skill] from the [System].

But, I wonder if this includes the [Soul Energy] as well. I know it works with my [Magatamas] as I just tried to see if I could augment my physical abilities with [Prana] without even having the [Magecraft: Reinforcement], but I could tell without the [Reinforcement], I'm just wasting more [Prana] without realizing it.

I kept my eyes close and continue to practice using [Renkankei-kikou] by using my [Soul Energy] and it seems to work somewhat. If I were to channel my [Soul Energy] through my body. Otherwise, it looks like it wouldn't work if I were to use my [Soul Energy] within my own [Soul].

After a few minutes, I stop my training with [Renkankei-kikou] for now and start thinking about how to find out what kind of universe I end up in. Along with figuring out how to use [Alchemy] without it blowing up on me.

I frown when I started thinking about how my [Soul] may start affecting my surroundings and could alert anyone nearby. Thinking about this, I have many [Skills] within my [Soul], but most of those [Concealment Skills] require my body producing a different entire [Energy] than [Prana].

Furthermore, it would take days to even years to get a hint of results from using those [Concealment Skills] without using an external resource to help me out. At the rate I'm going, I would end up getting unwanted attention before I'm ready to face the world.

Thinking about it for a while, I may as well continue working on [Renkankei-kikou] a bit more and figure out how to make sure my [Soul Energy] doesn't leak out of my body. This should be able to limit my [Soul]'s presence somewhat.

3 hours later*

In hindsight, I should have realized my new body has better talents compared to Enma Nikos' body, because I didn't even need that much time to stop the [Soul Energy] from leaking out my body without my permission.

Now, that I discover this I'll try out one of those [Skills] that have [Concealment Technique] within that [Skill]. Going through all the knowledge within my [Soul] that have anything related to concealment and found many, but lots of them won't work or just not useful enough.

Sadly, once more I had to face reality as my control over my own [Soul Energy] isn't still high enough to move around my body besides keeping my [Soul Energy] inside my body and enhancing my entire body.

Letting out a tired sigh, "No use wasting any more time."

I started walking in any direction and hope I gained the ability to speak, read, and write in all languages in this universe as I did in the RWBY universe.

I am a little curious if I end up in a different dimension of the RWBY universe, that would be a bit awkward for me. As I just left Pyrrha and Shigure behind. Furthermore, I know for a fact that in the dimension of that RWBY universe is very rare for a crossover to another universe.

So, there is a very low chance Shigure would appear in another dimension of the RWBY universe. Even without Shigure, Pyrrha alone would really make things difficult for me as I may not have enough control not to jump into her arms and cry with joy to see her again.

An hour later*

(Unknown Forest)

I blankly stare at the spooky forest I end up after finding a tunnel leading to somewhere after finding an old road, that needs fixing, which I follow and end up pass through a tunnel, where I found myself looking at a forest with all the trees withering away and look very dead.

Not even a minute after coming here, a weird man dressed in an ankle-length, with a long sleeve white robe. Pretty much make me think of a thawb, that Arabian clothing for men. And head wrapped with a long scarf.

I can't seem to remember who this person is, but I should be able to find out which universe I'm in if I ask this guy, where I am.

"So, mind telling me how you find this entry?" The creepy person asks me and looks at me with his eyes glowing a little under his head wrapped scarf, which makes it look like he has only white glowing orbs for eyes.

"I just follow a random old road to find civilization as I end up lost in a forest." I spoke the truth, but not the full truth about how I end up in the said forest.

"I see. And it wouldn't be too much trouble if I ask you to go back where you came from, would it?" The creepy person asks me in a familiar tone I'm used to back in my previous life, where the person shows they're calm, but their voice reveals how nervous they are. And this is the exact same thing happen now. As the person before me seem wary of me.

"And why would I do that?" I ask the person before me in a calm voice, where I notice the guy flinch a little at my question. "Also, if you must know who I am, then I'll tell you."

This caused the guy to look at me with interest.

"I'm an [Alchemist], who traveling the lands to continue my study in [Alchemy]. Call me crazy and you'll regret it." I said to the creepy person, where I decide to call myself an [Alchemist], but more of a beginner one. Seeing how I just got the [Magecraft: Alchemy] not that long and I'm going to have to work on it for a long time, to get those [System Points].

Of course, if I were to announce myself, then I got to back it up. Lucky for me, the [Alchemy] at [Rank: Basic] is enough to give me two [Techniques] to go with it after I got the time to look into the knowledge that came with it.

[Transmutation]: The art of manipulating and altering matter by using [Natural Energy], which belongs to the world, or other [Energy] like [Prana] and my [Soul Energy].

[DNA Manipulation]: Allows one to manipulate or activate sections of DNA, for example, growing a small forest from a branch, but would require using different [Energy] instead of [Natural Energy] to be exchanged to follow the rules of the [Equivalent Exchange].

The [DNA Manipulation] was surprised for me, but not so much since it will require lots of [Prana] to use. No idea how much [Soul Energy] would be used instead of [Prana]. Thankfully, this [Alchemy] isn't the same as the one from the Fullmetal Alchemist series, but it's similar in some way.

Just these two [Techniques] from the [Alchemy] at [Rank: Basic] is enough to help me do lots of things, but I still need that [Structural Grasp] to help me out using these two [Techniques] to the fullest.

"An [Alchemist], you say?" The creepy guy rubs his chin and looks at me with mixed feelings. "Would you like a job? I run a school you see, and there is always a time I run out a supply of medicine, in case of injury or for my students that require them due to their conditions. I wish to hire you as a part-time supplier. Of course, I'm willing to provide the materials and pay for your labor. How about it?"

I'm starting to wonder if there are other [Alchemists] in this universe or maybe I'm in the Fullmetal Alchemist universe. No clue if this is good or bad, but I get what I can get.

"Sure, anything else you wish to hire me for? Because I may need extra funds to do personal projects of mine." I agreed to the job of being a part-time supplier as this would give me a good chance to work on my [Magecraft] without having to waste time running around looking for materials after getting the [Rank: Official] and above.

The creepy, I mean, my new temporary Boss rubs his chin again, thinking about if there any other jobs he may need me to do.

"You mind being a Math Teacher? I have more students than I thought this year and require extra helping hands. If you don't mind being a Math Teacher, I won't mind giving you a higher salary." The Bossman said to me, where I have no clue if this universe.

[Alchemists] equal master of the Mathematics subject or something, because even I can't do much Math and it mostly my subconscious with the help of the [Skill] doing it for me.

"I'll be honest. My [Math Skills] isn't that great and most of my work related to [Alchemy] is pure instinct." I said to who may be the Headmaster of the school. Better say this now before I end up causing countless problems later on.

"No problem. I just need you to watch over the students. After all, I'm mostly hiring for the stuff you make." The Bossman said to me with a smirk, "Ah, right! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Tenmei Mikogami, and the Headmaster of Yokai Academy."

I didn't show it on my face, but I was just a bit freak out that I'm in the Rosario + Vampire universe. And I'm going to be a part-time supplier and a teacher.

Of course, I have some experience of being a teacher, but my style of teaching is more towards hands-on kinds of stuff.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Mikogami. I'm Asura Rokudo, traveling [Alchemist] and glad to work at your school." I shake the Headmaster's hand and notice how he flinched at the moment our hand touches each other.

I kept a polite smile on my face, but I was frowning inside as I just realize I'm not wearing any gloves of some sort. Which is very weird for me as my time as Enma Nikos. I would always wear gloves.

Well, I know a pair of gloves I could create with [Alchemy] that will help me out later. After I gather the materials to make it first.

"Great. Now, if you come with me. I'll show you the place for you to stay and your Lab, so you can have a place to work on your [Alchemy]. Also, tomorrow is when the new semester starts." The Headmaster said to and start leading me back to his Yokai Academy, but I can tell he still has his guard up around me.

A few hours later*

(Yokai Academy: Personal Lab Room)

After doing all the paperwork and having all the things I need, including the key to my own personal room that in the Dorms, where I'm almost watching over the male students living in the male half of the Dormitory.

I've already been greeted by a few teachers; well, more like only one teacher managed to greet me before running away like the other teachers. I had no clue why they were so scared of me. After all, aren't they monsters?

I did find a few different changes in my body besides the whole new body and clothes that go with it, but after the need to go to the Bathroom. I found my eyes glowing like they do whenever I got ticked off or use [Persona].

As the saying goes, "The eyes are the window to the [Souls]." Maybe that's why everyone continues to flinch whenever I glance at their ways, because of my eyes always glowing unless I close my eyes, otherwise, it continues to glow, not even with the help of [Renkankei-kikou]. My eyes continue to glow of the color pale blue.

Also, I notice my hair is back to the way it was before the whole eating 99% [Souls] within my former [Sea of Souls]. So I don't need to worry about having long hair.

Furthermore, I wanted to see if the tattoos would show up if I activate my [Magatamas/Magic Circuits] and found out it changed to those circuit lines like in Nasuverse.

Well, that only appears if I were to use all 25 [Magic Circuits] at the same time instead of a few, then it won't show up. Also, my eyes glow even brighter with the rate of each [Magic Circuit] I increase in use.

Afterward, I went to check my personal Lab Room and I found some materials waiting there for me already. I can guess that the Headmaster notified a staff member to bring them here since they seem fresh.

I may have lost my [Jack of Crafts Mastery] that came with [Alchemy], along with the knowledge. The experience is still there, but the recipes are removed from my [Soul].

Nonetheless, the [Souls] I devoured have enough knowledge of countless of other things I could create with [Alchemy] that surpass what I could create with [Jack of Crafts Mastery] and it was still at [Rank: Advanced] when I 'died' in the RWBY universe.

Walking up to the table, where I found a book and a small note, that has a list of what needed to be created and the book is one of the rare books on [Alchemy]. But, it's more of a record book, for all the known creation made by [Alchemy].

In a way, this kind of help me out and not end up creating something that defies heaven itself. Because there are a lot of recipes in my [Souls] that included many recipes that literally defy the [Laws] of the universe and the rule of [Alchemy] by using different forces to bypass it.

Thinking about it for a moment, I may not need the [Structural Grasp] if I were to use one of the [Alchemy Techniques] that bring similar effects as [Structural Grasp].

Going through a few pages, then flip all the pages like I was just messing around and not really reading for real. Sadly, for those that haven't experienced it. My [Soul] is enough to give me the ability of supernatural senses and memory.

Right now, I can just flip a book and instantly store it away in my [Soul] and could recall it later. Of course, this would be like a photographic memory, the ability to remember information or visual images in great detail.

But, even then, what I did, wouldn't count as photographic memory as some people need to take time to look at each page at a time before turning to the next page. For me, I just use channel a bit of my [Soul Energy] to augment my eyesight, to see fast movement and flipping all the pages in the book that takes less than a minute from front to back cover of the book.

Closing the book and place it back on the table, then close my eyes to do a quick, but complete, read of the book I just finished 'reading'.

Opening my eyes and rub my forehead due to a headache I just got from doing this. As my new brain isn't used to the [Everything Happens Within A Single Thought Skill] of mine, among other [Skills] that came with having an [Archdemon] for a [Soul].

Say what you will, but I know for a fact at this point there are other types of [Archdemon]. Some are weaker and common, while others are just abnormal and stronger. I'm in the latter, where only my [Soul] is turned into an [Archdemon] instead of my body turned into an [Archdemon]. Can't call myself a [Demi-Fiend] when I'm completely different to one.

After getting what I need from reading the book from my [Soul], then look back at the small note, that list of things need to be made. I close my eyes once more and search for those [Alchemy Techniques] to help me create the things on the list without having to use the equipment.

As the equipment in this Lab isn't something I'm familiar with. And I may as well get a head start of trying to get that [Alchemy Technique] similar to [Structural Grasp].

I'm still going to get it later and want to compare it to the [Alchemy Techniques], to see what the pros and cons between the two. And I found one that just plain outright overpowered in the right hand.

The [Alchemy Technique] I found is called the [Soul Transmutation Circle], where I can literally draw [Transmutation Circle] inside my own [Soul] and activate it with my [Soul Energy] at any time and anywhere. Without having to redraw the [Transmutation Circle]; well, depending on the [Soul] itself. You may have to.

From what I could tell of the [Soul Transmutation Circle] is that in most cases, those [Transmutation Circle] suffers degradation after each usage. Due to the [Soul] registering the [Transmutation Circle] as abnormal and should be removed. Kind of like in Nasuverse, but with the [Soul] only.

In some rare cases, others' [Soul] will find it normal and will in time become permanent and will even join that person in their next life as the [Transmutation Circle] is inside the [Soul].

As for other cases; well, there people like me with a strong [Soul] can hold more than one [Transmutation Circle] within their [Souls] and while it won't be permanent, but it's a lot easier for us to redraw the [Transmutation Circle] after the first time without any effort due to the fact that our [Souls] already experience it the first time and will have an easier time sticking around longer, but will never be permanent.

It's kind of like consumable items in my opinion, but it's still useful as I can just redraw the [Transmutation Circles] after getting familiar with the entire thing, to the point I can draw countless of [Transmutation Circles] with a single thought.

For now, I'm going to practice by using the very basic [Transmutation Circle] drawn within my [Soul].

Continue to keep my eyes closed to help me focus, and I really need to work on the whole needs to close the eyes to focus thing later and start using my [Soul Energy] to draw the [Transmutation Circle].

Much to my frustration, it's a lot harder than I thought it would be and I had to resort to using the [Everything Happens Within A Single Thought]. An overpowered [Skill] that literally could help me train within my [Soul] without having to worry about time outside, but come with many downsides. One of them are these bad headaches I keep getting until my brain get used to it.

DING!*

System Message: Well, this is something beyond the [Rank: Basic] of [Alchemy]; nonetheless, great job!

Reward: 50,000 [System Points]

Note: Honestly, this isn't something I would find my new host would be able to do on the first day of becoming my host.

I raise an eyebrow at this, that I got 50k [System Points] just like that, but I just toss the idea of mine, that it's due to the [Soul Transmutation Circle] is something not possible in Nasuverse and will be registered within the [Type-Moon System] for future hosts.

Well, it looks like I got enough [System Points] to purchase a few [Magecrafts], but not [Noble Phantasm] as the nameless ones would cost me 100k [System Points] at the minimum, while those [Mystic Codes] cost around 10k [System Points] at least.

This is good as I now can grab those [Magecraft] I need to support my [Alchemy]. As this will be my main focus in [Magecraft]. Maybe.

WARNING!

Host, you're required to have both [Magecraft]: [Reinforcement] and [Projection] to purchase the [Magecraft: Alteration].

Price: 2,000 [System Points]

I blink at the last one before I click yes on all my purchases and found there's a restriction on what I can and can't buy from the [Type-Moon System] without meeting the requirements.

So, I brought the first three [Magecraft], then grab [Alteration] afterward.

DING!*

Thank you for your purchase. Have a nice day.

[Alteration]:

Description: This is the intermediary step between [Reinforcement] and [Projection], to give an object property or effect that it originally didn't have. Also, can be used without [Projection].

Type: Active

Target: Varies

Rank: Basic

Cost: Varies

Now, I'm down to 45,010 [System Points] after purchasing these four [Magecraft]. And, now, I have a total of five [Magecraft] to my name. Which is more than Shirou Emiya has. Then again, I'm still a beginner with these [Magecraft].

Therefore, I'm going to keep the rest of my [System Points] on hold for now and work on them to earn more [System Points], while I figure out how to rank up the [Magecraft]... and the [Type-Moon System] just gave me the answers.

[Type-Moon System], I feel like it's the [Root], or otherwise known as [Akasha], the [Swirl of the Root]. A metaphysical location within the Nasuverse as the "force" that exists at the top of all theories on dimensions.

Then, a deadpan expression appears on my face when the [Type-Moon System] replied that it is could be considered the [Root], but at the same time not, and started giving me a long-ass essay about why it is and not at the same time.

I was forced to use the [Everything Happens Within A Single Thought] again, making the headaches come back in full force after gaining the knowledge of the four [Magecraft], now having to be forced to read this essay that the [Type-Moon System] literally just wrote the entire thing out in less than a second.

Afterward, I use [Structural Grasp] on the [Transmutation Circle] in my [Soul] and found out that I was very lucky to even have a working one, with how bad of a quality I made it after so many times of redrawing it.

Because from what [Structural Grasp] is telling me, that the [Transmutation Circle] will only work once before disappearing from my [Soul]. That's how bad the [Transmutation Circle] I've drawn inside my [Soul].

While those other people that used the [Soul Transmutation Circle] at the average be able to use a single [Transmutation Circle] of any levels more than 10 times before disappearing and require redrawing it.

I let out a tired sigh and decide to use to improve it by using [Reinforcement], [Alteration], and [Renkankei-kikou].

[Renkankei-kikou] to continue improving my control over the [Soul Energy] and this should be great training for it.

[Alteration] is to make sure to change the [Transmutation Circle] without destroying it just by changing a few parts while using [Renkankei-kikou] as support to make the changes.

Then, using [Reinforcement] to strengthen the [Transmutation Circle], so it could handle more than a few usages before it's destroyed from my [Soul].

And if it weren't for having a massive [Soul] and [Soul Energy], this would have taken me days, even months before getting it right and that's with the basic [Transmutation Circle].

Also, I wouldn't be able to use the [Everything Happens Within A Single Thought] with such limited [Soul Energy] and wouldn't be able to last for long.

I let out a sigh and figure out why I gained the [Type-Moon System] now. In theory alone, I've already considered an overpowered character in this new universe and that if I don't use my own body to fight too long.

So the [Type-Moon System] is leaning towards more for me to become more focused on studying and develop a mindset unrelated to killing.

I may have lost my physical body that's known as Enma Nikos, but my [Soul] has long been corrupted by killing intent and I would easily kill someone without much a flinch.

I'll work on this later on, but first, to test the newly improved [Transmutation Circle] after doing another scan with [Structrual Grasp] and I could use the [Transmutation Circle] five times before it disappears.

This is the best I could do at the moment. Due to the lack of experience mostly, if not, then, in theory, I should be able to repair the [Transmutation Circle] every time I use it or before there's only one last time to use it before it disappears, and fix it with [Soul Energy].

As a result, it would make the [Transmutation Circle] similar to a permanent version, but doesn't transfer into my next life after my [Soul] leave this physical body of mine.

So, quickly, I move which materials I need first and place them in front of me, then place my hand on the side, with the materials in the middle and close my eyes. Where I recall the things that need to be created, then look through the knowledge of countless [Souls] to find which one that has similar effects, but almost all of them are in pill form.

While the one I got from the book, most of them look like those pill sphere forms. Thinking about it for a moment, I decide I may as well and just write a note that I have my own style of [Alchemy], isn't that the truth, and that it does the same effects as the medicines/etc., they've asked for.

Of course, to make sure there are no mistakes, I use [Structrual Grasp] on the materials before using the [Reinforcement] to strengthen the aspect of the materials needs to be strengthened through [Reinforcement], which took me a lot more time to do than I thought.

DING!*

System Message: Good going on using other [Magecraft] together to support each other!

Reward: 1,000 [System Points]

DING!*

System Message: Good work on making those pills, but don't get cocky just because you found an easier way to use [Alchemy].

Reward: 10,000 [System Points]

Note: First time making something with [Alchemy], but the quantity needs to be worked on, the quality is fine, above average even.

I raise an eyebrow at the two [System Messages] appears after I just finished making a batch of the first thing on the list.

Look like I don't have to worry about losing focus because these [System Messages] will pop up out of nowhere when I least expect it and ruin my concentration.

I check the small note and look back down on the table to count how many pills I made, then check the note once more to be sure that I got the right amount and realize I have to make another batch or two, to match the amount needed.

It's a good thing there are more than enough materials brought here for me to use, or else, I would need to ask for more from the Headmaster, and that could lead to using some of my own money to pay for the extra materials.

So for the rest of the day, I continue working on my [Alchemy], along with my other [Magecraft] and got 15k [System Points] total by the time I finished.

Once that's done. I made sure to place all the pills, that I made into their containers, with a label for them and made sure to write notes on them, to let the staff know why they look so different compared to the ones in the book.

Just to be on the safe side, I decide to deliver the stuff I made to the Headmaster before delivering them to the other staff.

3 hours later*

(Yokai Academy: Dorms)

It's close to night time and I just finished delivering the last pills to the Infirmary while the rest were taken by the Headmaster. As he told me he has never seen such high quality of the pill and that I could change the appearance of the items made by [Alchemist].

After giving my greeting to the frighten staffs in the Infirmary, then left to find the Dorms after I returned back to the Headmaster to get the direction as the other staffs wouldn't even give me a chance to ask them anything before running away from me.

Once I got the directions, it took only 20 minutes to reach the Dormitory from my personal Lab.

(Yokai Academy: Dorms: My Room)

I found my room easily enough and I must say it looks way better than I thought it would be. I would expect to find some kind of bugs or something, but nothing.

If I would have to compare the room, then I would say it would be close to a college dorm room. As there's a bed, desk, and a closet already here for my usage. Then again, this is a Dormitory and there shouldn't be any special room just because one of the staff decided to live here as well.

Looking around the room, I find myself wondering how everyone back in the RWBY universe is doing without me. Then again, I was gone for 3 years and now forever.

Lying on my bed and look at the ceiling with a blank look, as I pray that Shigure would be able to surpass me in using the [Persona System] as soon as possible.

Really wished I was there with Shigure and Pyrrha when they're pregnant and gave birth. Hell, I still haven't got married yet, but at least I didn't die a virgin.

I glance at my crotch, then back at the ceiling, wondering if I'm considered a virgin again, with this new body of mine.

Closing my eyes and not wanting to deal with this dreadful thought any longer, while hoping that both Pyrrha and Shigure will be able to survive with our children and return back to the peaceful era.

Instead of sleeping, I may as well continue working on my [Transmutation Circle] and I already have another one that should be used as my main offensive without relying on my physical body.

The next day*

Day 2: Time Will Tell

(Yokai Academy: Self-Study Class)

Much to my surprise, the Headmaster wasn't joking and asked me to watch over the students and by that, I mean the final year students, whom I have zero clues who they are.

Well, that's what I would say when I know one person in the Classroom and figure it's another parallel dimension crossover again, like RWBY universe.

As one of my so-called students is Yoruichi Shihoin herself. Like what the hell, what kind of Yokai would she be? It must be something related to lightning at least.

Of course, I made sure not to show that I was surprised by her appearance in this academy and this universe. Unless I'm in a major crossover universe with Rosario + Vampire and Bleach. Otherwise, I figure she a Yokai as well.

And it wasn't a surprise, she was among the rest that flinched and quiet down like the rest, then everyone started reviewing their studies for incoming tests and graduate from the Yokai Academy.

I let out a sigh, as I continue to work on the [Transmutation Circle] that's similar to Roy Mustang's [Flame Alchemy Transmutation Circle]. I've already transmutated a pair of gloves made out of pyrotex/ignition clothes I got from the [Type-Moon System], for 100 [System Points]. And that's enough to make 2 pairs.

With a quick [Transmutation] with those ignition cloths to make the [Ignition Cloth Gloves]. I made a mistake on the first one as they were a bit too small, so I had to continue working on them until I paid 2,000 [System Points] total by the time I made the [Ignition Cloth Gloves] that fit me and feel right.

Too bad, the [Type-Moon System] didn't reward me [System Points] for making more after the first one, where I got 1,000 [System Points] after making the finished version of the [Ignition Cloth Gloves].

Yeah, I'm going for Roy Mustang's [Flame Alchemy] for combat. Later on, I'm going to have to work on the [Transmutation Circle] further, to allow me to use the [Flame Alchemy] without the need of these [Ignition Cloth Gloves] by using my [Soul Energy] and/or [Prana] alone instead.

So far, I failed to make a [Flame Alchemy Transmutation Circle] that could be used 10 times or more. But, I have 20% of its finish, kind of, but it's a working process. I got the feeling the amount of [System Points] I would get won't be that much due to the [Flame Alchemy Transmutation Circle] is mainly for combat, not for something that scholarly related.

When I meant 20% finishes, I meant that it barely stabilize enough to stay in my [Soul] for an hour or two, with a 1-2 usage before it disappears, not even a repair would work. As it would just destroy the [Flame Alchemy Transmutation Circle] instead.

Still haven't figure out how to make my eyes to stop glowing, because everyone continues to flinch whenever I look at them, but for those that never seen my eyes. They won't even notice until they look me in the eyes.

Closing my eyes once more to activate the [Everything Happens Within A Single Thought] again. As my brain starting to get used to the massive amount of information appears within my brain the moment I stop using the [Skill].

1 hour later*

I open my eyes and glance at the clock, where at the moment I did the school bell ring, letting everyone know that the class period is over and everyone can leave for their next class.

All the students quietly walk out of the Classroom without making much noise and try not to catch my attention. Not like I was paying that much attention to them in the first place.

As I was too busy turning my brain into mush while using [Renkankei-kikou] to augment my brain, to support the [Everything Happens Within A Single Thought] along with using [Structural Grasp] to make sure I don't make any mistakes, which leads to me becoming brain dead.

I found a trick, that I could use with [Structural Grasp], where I can just scan a part of my brain and not the entire thing, to give me more information even when I still get the basic amount of information from the [Magecraft]. In a way, I've found a way to get more information by scanning the entire target in the separate area, one at a time.

An entire hour of abusing the [Everything Happens Within A Single Thought] is literally on the path of self-destruction. But, I need something to help me protect my own life as soon as possible.

If I didn't have all those countless [Healing Skills], I would have left hidden damages that would really hurt me in a long-term. Either way, thanks to [Renkankei-kikou], I avoided this, but the pain won't disappear anytime soon.

I find myself, becoming even more insane with each second goes by. Yeah, I considered myself insane already. Who wouldn't? With all the things I have done back in the RWBY universe and in this universe.

On the first day of coming into this universe. Instead of planning out like I was supposed to, but end up forgetting about almost 40% of my plans. Afterward, I decided to use the [Everything Happens Within A Single Thought] too many times, and just because I had the [Healing Skills].

It doesn't mean I should continue abusing my brain like this, but I have too many reasons why I have to. Nonetheless, I could have come up with better plans than do something crazy like this.

For people that know they're insane are the most dangerously one and could end up being either more insane or just the plain insane. Either way, both are very dangerous and will cause countless lives to be in danger of death.

Letting out a tired sigh as I watch the last student leave the Classroom and thinking about if I should continue this approach of mine, to develop my new fighting style, but still similar to the way I fight back in RWBY universe.

Just the methods of how I use the element itself or I could find the right [Fighting Skills] that should help me develop my body and the ability to fight.

Not to mention, that I don't even get an [Inventory] like I did with the [Persona System] as [Type-Moon System] informed me that the so-called [Inventory] is similar to many [Noble Phantasm] and require me to buy them, but won't be the same and very limited in what I could put in them.

Which was a big downside for me as having an [Inventory] is a big help in many situations. Now, that I don't have one. I'm very limited on what I can carry around with me unless I could figure out how to create one or buy a [Noble Phantasm] similar to one when I have the [System Points] to buy one if I really need one at the time.

But, I'll think about that later and continue working on my [Flame Alchemy Transmutation Circle]. Got to focus one thing at a time, or else I would stray away and end up lost until it's too late.

Looking out the windows to my right and notice a familiar character quickly walking away from the school.

I just remember today is when canon started as I watch the main character, Tsukune Aono, trying to leave the Yokai Academy once he discovered this place is meant for Yokai and not for humans.

Thinking about it for just a few seconds, I decide to follow the kid and watch the action take place.

45 minutes later*

(Clifface)

So far, it happens exactly like canon, but just a few minor differences, and that is Inner Moka notice my presence. As in Inner Moka being the true Moka, an S-Class Vampire, with silver hair and red eyes.

"Are you going to come out, or I'll have to come to you?" Inner Moka said in the direction I'm hiding from.

Before revealing myself, I did a quick check on my [Flame Alchemy Transmutation Circle] and have one that's 30% finish, 2-3 usage before it destroyed.

Walking around the tree I was using to hide and head towards the two students, with the third student being Saizo, who is an Orc, not that strong in my opinion as one snap of my finger would burn the Yokai to his death.

Much to my surprise Moka's body only tense up, but keep looking in my eyes. Tsukune, on the other hand, faints the moment he saw me. Talk about being rude.

"You know, you're the second person here in the academy, that manages to look me in the eyes without running away. And the other person happens to be the Headmaster, who hired me as a staff." I smile at Moka, who frowns at me as I notice the sweat covering her forehead, showing how much I'm affecting Moka by just looking at her with my own eyes.

"So... you're a teacher?" Moka seems a little relief at this, but didn't mean she lower her guard down at all. "Because if you are, then you must be a bad one to allow other students to fight each other."

"So, what you are saying is that you want me to punish you as well?" I grin at Moka, who flinch at this and knew she won't have an easier time fighting me. Just to give her a good scare and to test out my [Flame Alchemy Transmutation Circle] for the first time.

I walk over to Moka, who looks ready to kick me in the face and walk past her, causing Moka to be confused by my action as she turns around, to see me snap my right hand as a massive explosive appears just a few meters away from us.

Where I used the [Flame Alchemy Transmutation Circle] in the direction where the body of water is, and I did not think the explosive would be so big. I could feel the heat from where I am.

I turn around and look at the pale Moka, who looks like she just saw what is an S-Class Yokai really is.

"Still want to be punished by me?" I put up a calm expression while inside, I was jumping in joy of seeing the [Flame Alchemy Transmutation Circle] working for the first time, but cry afterward of how the [Transmutation Circle] is almost destroyed and really need to work on my control due to the fact that I could hurt myself from getting caught in the explosion.

Moka shook her head and look like she wanted to run away now, but couldn't once she realize I could still hurt her with just a snap of my finger, literally.

Walking over and picking up the [Rosario Cross], which made Moka pale even more as I got a hold of something dear to her and something powerful, which she doesn't have a clue what it is beside sealing her away.

Using [Structural Grasp] on the [Rosario Cross] and wince visually, making Moka curious of why I flinched.

"Man, your Mother really knows how to make something so complex." I rub my forehead, as I got a few bits of detail about what other things the [Rosario Cross] does and even was able to see the sleeping Akasha Bloodriver, Moka's Mother, who is acting as the Outer Moka, who is technically a clone of Akasha.

"How did you know about my dead Mother made that?" Moka looks like she is eager to learn more about her Mother.

And a little shock that Moka was told someone her Mother was dead. 'Honestly, I thought she would know her Mother should be alive. Kind of.'

I blink innocently at Moka, much to her annoyance, but didn't move a muscle.

"What do you mean dead? Akasha is still alive; well, her physical body is alive and asleep. Didn't anyone tell you that your Outer self is literally a clone of your Mother? In fact, from what I could tell. This [Rosario Cross] will send the Outer Moka's memories back to Akasha herself later. If she awakens and frees from her prison." I explain to Moka, who clearly is shocked to find out her own Mother is alive. "Don't know why you need to keep sealing yourself when you don't really need it at this point." I said to Moka, who wanted to argue, but couldn't come up with a good reason to.

I, for one, don't know why Moka continues to need to be sealed when she already here, besides the whole school rules of not showing your true form or whatever.

Tossing the [Rosario Cross] to Moka, then started walking back to the Yokai Academy and continue working on my [Magecraft]. I got the feeling I'm close to ranking them up. Well, [Alchemy] at least.

"You better grab your friend and bring him back to school. Try not to get him killed if you can." I pause a moment to look at the Orc still unconscious from Moka beating the shit out of him.

Lack of empathy or not, I rather not deal with an Orc, so I continue on my merry way and left the students behind.
