Remnant's System

Confrontation

New Item:

Entry Permit
Level of Difficulty: ??
Type: ??

An entry permit that allows you to ascend to the second floor of the DEMONS' Castle. The Divination Circle allows you to move between floors. This permit only allows access to the Divination Circle on the first floor.

Entering the Demon Castle wasn't super difficult. If I had discovered this place sooner, I may have been in over my head, but I'm doing a pretty good job so far.

Although, it's a bit time consuming. I wanted to take my time on this first floor to really get a good understanding, but even if I try to speedrun the castle, it'll still take a while. Especially as the floors actually become difficult.

Since I took my sweet time, it's been most of the day... I may as well leave now. Finishing floor 1 is a good stopping point. Plus, my class skills have leveled up, and I have 155 Shadow Soldiers now. Most of the demons I fought here were beast-like creatures. In fact, they actually are reminiscent of what Grimm would look like if they weren't... Grimm... Doesn't really make sense, but I digress.

I exit the dungeon for now. Figure I should catch Ruby's matches and finish this later.

*Danger*

The second I return, my shadow soldiers share with me only a feeling of urgency.

Skill: Telepathy

I look through the shadow soldier at Ruby's side, and...

Skill: Shadow Exchange

I couldn't save Yang. Blake is still breathing, though. From what I saw, she's bleeding from her side, and a Faunus stands above her, rambling.

I think that mask is of the White Fang...

I never really paid them much attention before.

To be completely honest, I think prejudice is stupid, but also incredibly hard to prevent and/or stop. I had made no efforts to stop the White Fang, because even if their actions have darkened with time, their original message was one of positivity and a necessary desire for equality.

I figured perhaps their ways could become peaceful once more, and if I were to stop them, their race as a whole could lose any semblance of threat and power, resulting in further discrimination. Or... Perhaps that's simply an excuse to say I don't think the fight is mine to interject in.

Blake had never opened up about her past. I had always been aware she was a Faunus, though. I'd seen her bow twitching from time to time, and she seemed weirdly stiff at the discussion of anything faunus-related, especially in classes.

She must have her reasons, so I've kept quiet about it.

But perhaps I should have spoken with her...

In fact, I had only really focused on Ruby up until this point.

I originally saw her as a close friend. Her cuteness managed to win me over, and we began dating.
