RWBY: LUCID
Jaune Arc moved to the city of Vale hoping for a regular high-school experience. However, on his second night in the city, he somehow found himself waking up to a decaying, nightmarish version of reality. This place, this... dream realm, housed deadly monsters that hungered for his flesh. A floating interface, the Nightmare System, whispered promises of power to him. Power that he could use to survive in this realm by killing the monsters of the dream.
Now, Jaune's only option is to navigate the rules of this new realm before it takes a bite out of him.
Welcome to Vale,
Sweet dreams.
===================
This is a slow burn story set in an Alternate Universe of the show, RWBY with a modern twist to it. The idea was inspired from (Shadow Slave), (Lord of the Mysteries) and (Dreamers Throne).
(Dream-Realm, Modern Setting, Runes).

I think it will be better for a Single pairing, and with Weiss Schnee if you can. They're quite similar if you think about it. And that pairing could help with the goal that Weiss wanted to do to the SDC company, fixing it's work ethic. And the ensuing drama would be epic too. Why not Blake? Because it's repeatedly stated by Blake in the early Volume that her relationship with Adam is a student and mentor. But somehow that's all is thrown away and Adam is changed from a Terrorist leader that cares about his subordinates, to a pathetic psychotic yandere ex-boyfriend. And no, don't replace Jaune with Adam, that's just lazy writing. Instead what you should do is try to integrate Adam with the main character of RWBY without eclipsing the main character potential to grow as a character. My suggestion is, instead of having Adam joined the Beacon, just keep him in the White Fang. But instead of submitting fully to Cinder, he only joins her for the sake of his subordinates safety, (Just like in the series the first time Cinder meet him) to silently protect the RWBY main character from the cover of White Fang, and to wait patiently to backstab Cinder. (Preferably during the fall of Beacon, so that Pyrha can be saved). But the main character of RWBY including Blake didn't know this at first but will gradually understand Adam. This will make Adam W Taurus into a cool misunderstood anti hero like Itachi Uchiha, with the Intention of saving as many RWBY main character as possible. And I think that is the most suitable route for Adam. He will be the Anti hero to Ruby Heroism.
