A Phantom On Remnant (Male Reader x RWBY)

Death and Destruction

These are the only things he was ever properly taught to use... something that couldn't be forgotten as a soldier.

Blood stained on his hands. Trauma clung to his mind. Sins marked onto his soul. Y/N was a phantom, a menace of destruction, and a reaper of death. Even in another world, Remnant, even with a second chance, he can't forget.

He can't forget.

Never.

"Just because you did those things doesn't mean you should be blaming yourself. You're also a victim, Mr. Akabane." - Goodwitch

"Listen, you're a kid. A kid like yourself shouldn't be carrying the amount of baggage and pain you carry around." - Qrow

"A young man, so pure... yet so tainted. I wonder... what would life be if he were born here instead?" - Ozpin

"You're a soldier. You may not be one of my own, but I expect that you have the same desires as I, to protect the people." - Ironwood

"Have fun in life. Not everything is doom, and gloom. So live a little." - Yang

"You're a good guy, and good guys save the day, like any other Huntsman and Huntress. So, in my books, you're practically a hero too." - Ruby

"You remind me of my sister. You're more mellowed down, but you place the duties that you have on your shoulders and push forward relentlessly, regardless of what the people in your past put you through. It's honestly inspiring in a way." - Weiss

"We're the same. We both fight for what's right... even if we were on the wrong side of the tracks, we believed in what we fought for. But unlike me, you still stick to what you do while I'm still deciding on my next move." - Blake

"I'm a soldier, an Imperial Agent. The White Phantom of the Black Star Government. The White Phantom of The Survivors Rebellion. Even in another world... the things I've done will carry on. They'll continue to haunt me. But I'll still repent for the actions I've done... with this soul, mind, and body of mine... until the bitter end. Until my last breath..." - White Phantom, Y/N Akabane.
