Chapter 13: Vale (5)

~Jack POV~

I already went ahead and look at some of the books from Vale Public Library that contained a few skill books for me to use but I couldn't because of the security cameras around.

This place is a little more secure than the one on Patch Village.

Couldn't take them but I did take the time to read them.

After leaving the library before anyone could notice my appearance since I'm that cautious kind of guy.

Sigh…

Better check to see how much I have again.

Hmm…

Seems like my Aura seems to be stronger than my HP.

Is that all the case with everyone here?

Or is it for special circumstances?

Is it perhaps my soul got strengthened because I was transmigrated here with this body?

Well…

Questions for a later time.

Now then…

Glancing around the area I thought I would meet up with that character to see if I can get anything from the guy and possibly warn him of the danger.

At least it will put my mind at ease knowing the guy is safe as all life is important to a degree at least.

And to see if a quest would be generated for it.

[The Quest is created.]

Quest: Warn Tukson

Description: The Gamer has found himself being transported into World or Remnant/RWBY by Gaia's wishes. You have the power to change what the course goes as you pick to warn Tukson from his fated death.

Rewards: 500 Lien, and 100 Exp.

Failure: No repercussion and possible dislike from ???

[Accept: Y] or [Deny: N]

Called it!

Blinking in surprise at this I immediately accepted the mission given to me as I needed the Lien and level up thank you very much.

Free Level Up is always nice as well as helping someone out.

Hopefully, Tukson would be more understanding but I wonder who the dislike is from?

Shaking my head for the time being I began to head my way to Tukson place to warn the guy.

Off I go!

/////

Searching around Vale City I get a sense of memorizing some of these paths in the future as I happen to need to and also grind my <Observe> skill whenever I get the chance.

[<Observe> LEVEL UP!]

See like that.

With the Gamer powers even if I don't have the magic I only need to grind up my skills to a point where it becomes my greatest but also weakest strength.

Next, I only need to find a way to increase my AP usage for me to get it better.

For now, though that is for another time as I kept on grinding my <Observe> skill more and more till I finally reached a certain point. Plus, it could do me some good findings about some shady dealings or specific people in the future.

[<Observe> LEVEL UP]

…

[<Observe> LEVEL UP]

…

[<Observe> LEVEL UP]

…

Just what I found is what I needed to find is the Commercial District of Vale.

The city of Vale is divided into multiple sectors, having an upper-class district, a commercial district, an industrial district, an agricultural district, and a residential district.

But I happen to know just the place for me to level up as I began to get going inside a certain store as I level up my <Observe> skill to finally allow some more descriptions of the area I'm going to.

[Tukson's Book Trade]

[A bookstore with a comprehensive selection. Tukson's Book Trade is a bookstore that was owned by Tukson. It is located in the city of Vale and the shop's catchphrase is "Home to every book under the sun."]

Ah…

I see just looking around is finally paying off.

Finally reaching the limits of <Observe> to the point where it gives me tidbit facts about the items I look at.

Even if I don't have magic getting the very basics and necessary defenses would be good.

Arming myself with some martial arts and some methods of how to use Aura would be good thanks to Gamer's ability.

Without magic, I can't do much, but I can still create other skills to make up for it.

And there is plenty of skills to be used around here like computer hacking, engineering, language, combat, and so much more.

I just need to think more outside the box than normal people in Remnant couldn't.

Which reminds I have to start training my body soon to earn those points since I'm probably going to need a strong body to match with a strong mind along with a strong soul.

Now going towards the door, I began to open it just to get the mission or quest done with.

*Slam*

Getting inside the building of the bookstore of Tukson I began to make my presence known to the man as I began to use the <Observe> skill to see what his level at…

[Tukson – Lv.? Ex-White Fang Member]

[Tukson is a Faunus character in RWBY. He is a member of the White Fang, and he was also the owner of the book shop Tukson's Book Trade. A Puma Faunus.]

So, he is a Puma!

Tukson appeared much like any other person in Vale. He wore a short-sleeved quarter-zip burgundy and black shirt with a visible white undershirt. His hair was cleanly cut, and he had noticeable sideburns, along with hairy, muscular arms.

He also had protractible claws in place of nails. When he underwent his Faunus transformation, his fangs extended, and his features became feral.

As I make my appearance be known he responds to me with a kind tone as he spoke to me calmly, "Hello sir welcome to Tukson Bookstore where you can find any book under the sun. Now how will I make your order sir?"

Replying to the Faunus I smirked and greeted him in return, "Ah, hi here I came to look around the place."

I said that as Tukson nodded at this as he responded to me in a happy manner, "Then look around! I'm sure you will find anything you would like to."

Standing around a bit I began to observe the books as I was interested in them before coming down with the news as I glance at a few books, "You know… aren't you worried sir?"

"Hm?"

Getting his attention I sighed out my breath as I began to talk to the man puma, "Of an attack I mean? After all one side is racist and to the others, you are a traitor to the White Fang no?"

He glares at me –

*Shiver*

Experiencing something as I felt some killing intent or something sending a shiver down my spine, as I felt the intent from Tukson coming off from him as I backed up only to be stopped keeping my ground.

[Through a specific action of detecting malicious intent, you have created a skill!]

[Skill <Detect Bloodlust> learned!]

Before things could escalate, I raised my hands up in clear defense making sure to keep myself alive as I have my <Aura> active, "WAIT…! I didn't come to fight I just came to warn you from an assassination attempt…!"

Halting a bit seeing as I raised my arms up in surrender Tukson eased up as he saw how scared I was.

No kidding.

Should've worded that a bit better.
