Herrscher (RWBY x Male Reader)

Y/N, The third god, The Ruler of the abyss, The Void/Nothingness. The betrayed god. Y/N's powers are vastly above both of his brothers, and that made his brothers, God of Light and God of Darkness, jealous and cautious. Afraid that he might betray them someday, they imprisoned him and sent him to the void. While he may be stronger than one of the gods, he isn't stronger when both of them are combined. Overwhelmed by the feeling of betrayal, Y/N immediately fell prey to the demonic energy of the void that emanated around him. His emotions evolved into fear and fury, and a storm of violent emotion takes hold. Y/N begins to panic when he sees this manifestation of dark energy swarming around him but regains composure as not to let it corrupt him. Y/N used all of his powers in the hope of sedating the dark energy, but it only got stronger. His last resort is to seek help from the True Goddess, Ishmael, but when she does not respond, Y/N falls into deep despair, and his dark emotions feed the Seed of Chaos. The power of the Goddess starts to become corrupted, and his body, which exists solely to worship the true Goddess, breaks down. Y/N is now wrought with doubt, and from his doubts, a new form emerges. Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY, that right belongs to Rooster Teeth.

Prologue

...

"They of perfect Faith..."

"Ascended"

"And he who abandoned his..."

"Lorded over the Abyss"

...

"Why...?"

Y/N said out loud before being cast into the void by his brothers. Y/N reached out to them, in hope they would help him and that this was a misunderstanding, but... They just smirked. They smirked at their fallen brother.

Y/N's eyes widened in shock as tears started to fill his eyes, not knowing why his brothers will betray him. He loved his brothers with all his heart and always tried to make them stronger, and to see them betray him like that...

...

After being cast into the void, and not being able to get out. He became Overwhelmed by the feeling of betrayal, Y/N immediately fell prey to the demonic energy of the void that emanated around him. His emotions evolved into fear and fury and a storm of violent emotion takes hold. Y/N begins to panic when he sees this manifestation of dark energy swarming around him but regains composure as to not let it corrupt him.

Y/N used all of his powers in hope to sedate the dark energy but it only got stronger. His last resort was to seek help from the True Goddess, Ishmael.

"My goddess... Please help me."

She didn't answer. However, Y/N didn't lose faith, he believed that the goddess will help him, and so, he kept on praying for eons, hoping she would help him...

But she never answered

After eons of not responding, Y/N falls into deep despair and his dark emotions feed the Seed of Chaos. The power of the Goddess starts to become corrupted, and his body, which exists solely to worship the true goddess, breaks down. Y/N is now wrought with doubt. And from his doubt a new form emerges...

Y/N carries on with praying and started using his powers, so she can hopefully hear him, but as he continues to use his power, the chaos and the corruption further corrodes his body. Traces of Chaos also emerge and become painfully obvious. He continues to suffer through the agony but only to pray to the goddess.

However...

After millions of years, she still didn't help him... As if the feeling of betrayal from his brothers wasn't enough, he became heartbroken, and filled with rage.

And that... is when he made a grave mistake.

He abandoned his faith.

Millions of eyes appeared all around him, filled with unimaginable powers. His body starts to get corrupted by the void, eyes started appearing on his body aswell.

But Y/N is unshaken and remains expressionless. Knowing that the goddess has abandoned him, he embraced the void. The chaos fully consumed him and corrupted his mind.

Y/N ascends from the chaos completely abandoning the Goddess and his brothers.His mere ascension shook all of creation. He has embraced The void and ultimately becomes the Ruler of the Abyss. He became the embodiment of Chaos, realm/void, Entropy, Corruption and Infinity, lacking any real form, and is now creating avatars to interact with creation.

He is Y/N, The ruler of the void...

The Herrscher.

Being the ruler of the void, he completely transcends the duality of everything that reality is made of.

Y/N then created an avatar of himself, so it can interact with creation. This avatar resembles him alot but has a few different things aswell.

Chaos is spread all around its body, his body barely intact and there is a huge hole inside his chest that has a ball of chaos inside it. His robe is made out of chaos, intact with his skin. However, it still had the same H/C hair color with the same E/C eyes. However, his hair is alot longer than before. The avatar's eyes glowed before getting out of the void

The avatar got out of the void, and instantly teleported to heaven. Trying to meet the goddess and his brothers. And he did. Heaven was... just like he remembered, bland. The ground were golden clouds that were floating, and that was it. There really isn't anything that fascinating about it. However, what makes it special is that you can view every memory and experience it, that's really the only thing that is good about this place.

Both his brothers and the goddess tensed up when they saw it. all of them were clearly fear stricken, not knowing how their brother got out of the void.

God of Darkness: W-What...?

God of Light: Y-Y/N?

They asked out loud while the goddess just stared with her shocked expression. Y/N's avatar had an expressionless face, before looking around heaven. The place was... empty. Absolutely no sign of any life form or spirits aside from his brothers and the goddess. Y/N's avatar narrowed its eyes before returning its attention to the main cast here.

God of Darkness: H-How did you-

Y/N: I'm going to ask you one question, and I want you to answer it honestly.

"Why?"

...

His brothers and the goddess stayed silent for a bit, before The god of darkness spoke up.

God of Darkness: L-Listen-

Y/N: I'm talking to you, I already know why you did it, but I want to know why she abandoned me aswell.

God of Darkness: ...

God of Darkness was speechless before The Goddess stood up. Her beautiful white hair slightly glowing.

Ishmael: Y/N. What happened-

Y/N: Answer me.

Y/N has cut off the goddess mid sentence, and it caused the god of light to grow furious.

God of Light: DON'T TALK TO THE GODDESS LIKE THAT!

God of Light shouted with such malice that it shook all of heaven, but Y/N remain unimpressed. Ishmael signaled God of Light to calm down.

Ishmael: Y/N... I can help you-

Y/N: Shut up. Answer my question.

God of Light: Why you-

Ishmael signaled God of Light to calm down yet again, and he did.

Ishmael: Y/N... as your goddess, I command you to calm dow-

Y/N: I will literally sell you to the void for one corn chip.

Ishmael/GoL/GoD: ...

Y/N: Now answer me.

Y/N already knew why she did, but he wanted to bring it out of her.

Ishmael: ... I can't... I'm sorry.

Y/N: ...

Y/N's eyes glowed for a bit before closing them. His body started emitting a corrupted aura around him.

"Very well..."

GoD: B-Brother, l-liste-

The god of darkness couldn't finish his sentence before heaven started to shake, causing them to great confusion. Ishmael tried calling out to Y/N, but he didn't respond, Instead, his body started to... Crumble, and melt away. Shock was painted across Ishmael's face as she tried to reach out to him.

Ishmael: Y-Y/N?!

Y/N didn't answer, he kept his eyes closed, a dark, corrupted aura started appearing around him. The clouds began... get corrupted. They were turning pitch black and eyes started appearing everyone.

GoL: B-Brother?

Y/N: This mere avatar wouldn't be able to erase you, Ishmael... But, let me show you... What you have made~

Y/N's opened his eyes, they were glowing a dark blue color, his corrupted aura spread all around heaven, causing the gods to get paralyzed in fear.

"Zerinnen"

Y/N's avatar form began to crumble at the much faster rate, and melt away, while a dimension was opening behind him, a dimension of Void and Futility. The gods looked at him in fear as their body began to shake. Y/N discards his avatar and shows a glimpse of his true self:

Nothingness

Erasing all of heaven by doing so.

...

Year: Irrelevant, Location: The Void

We cut to a scene of Y/N's avatar, inside a castle, sitting on a throne. This is only one of the avatars that Y/N created, he created an endless amount of them and sent them to different worlds and timelines, so he can know more about the worlds. The avatars aren't as intelligent as his true self, but they are still intelligent. They are also able to feel emotions and act like a living being. Every memory and emotion they get will transfer to Y/N's true self. Y/N's true self is essentially a god that watches over its creation, and these avatars, are his creation.

The avatar's eyes are closed but his body is glowing slightly. He then opened his eyes, they were glowing aswell. He then got up from his throne and let out a hum.

'My brothers told me eons ago that they wanted to create something new... A masterpiece, going by their words. I believe they called it Humanity? Perhaps I should visit this 'masterpiece' they made.' Y/N thought to himself before letting out another hum. The avatar closed its eyes again, and a huge portal opened infront of him. Y/N opened his eyes before a satisfied smile grew on his face.

Y/N: Nice.

Despite being trapped for millions of years, he is shockingly happy. Y/N stretched his body a bit and let out a moan.

Y/N: I wonder what is this 'masterpiece' they always rambled about is.

Y/N looked inside the Portal to see... a planet. Y/N grew confused for a bit, before shrugging.

Y/N: There are living beings in this world, I'm gonna need some basic knowledge of this world.

Y/N's eyes glowed for a bit, before dimming down. A frown appeared on Y/N's face.

Y/N: Hmm... This place is called... Remnant, and is filled with beings called 'Humans'. Sounds interesting. But first, I have to pick some 'clothes' as the human calls them.

Y/N then brought his hand to his chin and started thinking. Y/N then let out a frustrating sigh, not knowing what he should wear.

Y/N: This is much harder than I thought, VOID!

Eyes appeared everywhere in the void, and all of the eyes looked at Y/N. Dark energy emitting from them.

Y/N: Can you help me find something to wear and look more 'human'?

The eyes just stared at him for a bit, before Y/N and all of the eyes started glowing.

...

After the glowing died down, Y/N had... a rather interesting look. He looks kinda more human now, instead of the old chaos robe, he now has a suit. And his skin isn't corrupted that much. However, there is still the void mark on his forehead.

Y/N: This looks... better. Thank you.

The eyes looked at him for a bit before disappearing. Y/N then let out a hum and grew an interested look.

Y/N: The style of these 'humans' is not bad... I like it. Now...

...

Y/N looked at the portal for a bit... before jumping inside of it! He began falling to the planet at an alarming speed.

Y/N: Woo-Hoo!

Despite being corrupted by the void, he still seems to have the same cheery personality he always had. At least this avatar does.

After a few minutes... He finally landed... In the forest of some kind.

Thankfully, when he was about to land, he used the power of the void, so he can slow his descend and not destroy anything. After he landed, Y/N started cracking his neck, letting out a soft moan of satisfaction. However, when he opened his eyes... He noticed that...

The moon was shattered!

Y/N: ...?

...Y/N doesn't show any signs of surprise or fear, rather, he just looks at it. His eyes glowed a bit, before closing them again. He then opened his eyes with an irritated look on his face. Clearly pissed off. He lets out a frustrated look before his chest started glowing.

Y/N then started cursing his dead brother. More specifically, the god of darkness. He always knew he had a bad temper, but this is too far. Y/N then brought out his hand pointed at the moon. His body began to glow a dark blue color, traces of the void started appearing all over his body.

"Of course you'll destroy the moon, You petulant child."

Year: 2XXX, Month: XX, Day: XX, Place: Remnant, ???, Current Time: Night

???: Ah, you sure we got everything, Rubes?

We cut to a scene of a fair-skinned young woman with lilac eyes and bright golden hair that fades to pale gold at the tips with a cowlick sticking out at the top, walking out of some sort of a market, holding 2 bags, with another girl besides her. The other girl was also a fair-skinned young girl with silver eyes and neck-length black hair with red tips.

???: Mhmm, we got cookies, ice-cream, milk, cereal, and much more!

The silver eyed girl says out loud with a cute smile on her face. She seems no older than 15-16.

???: Nice. We should probably get home now, it's getting quite late.

???: Mhm, yeah, you are rig-

The silver eyed girl stops on her track while her friend continues walking, after a few moments, the yellow haired girl noticed that her friend stopped moving.

???: Uh... Ruby?

The yellow haired girl called out to her friend, which we can assume is called Ruby. Ruby however, didn't answer. She just... stared at the sky, with a shocked expression. Ruby then dropped the items on the ground.

???: H-HEY W-Watch for those!

The yellow haired girl cried out to her friend, but she didn't respond.

???: Uh... Rubes? Are you okay?

Ruby's body started trembling a bit, which caused the yellow haired girl to worry.

Ruby: Y-Y-Yang...

Ruby said her friend name's out loud, before slowly pointing towards the sky. Her friend, whom we can assume is called Yang, grew a confused look, before slowly looking at the sky.

Yang: You are starting to creep me ou-

Yang stopped mid sentence, her body tensed up and her breathing started to get rapid. Her eyes widened in shock as she tried her to best to comprehend how this is possible...

The moon...

It's...

Fixed!

Herrscher is german term for "Ruler" or "Emperor". Zerrinnen is German and means "to melt away" or "to disappear".
