Monster Menu

Oscar then woke up next morning, he then didn't find the Grimm cat, he wonder if his aunt found as he was worried then he saw something moved in his shadow as then the Grimm Cat head came out his shadow, as he had deadpan face, he know understand where it was

Oscar just sighed as he spoke. "Other then showing me my Grimm Cat Stats what else can it do".

Ding!

[It allows you too monitor your Grimm, it allows you too level then up and see the skill and use them in battle, they came die as when they get damaged they regenerate as long as you are alive, you can get more Grimm Eggs for this Menu]

Oscar sighed as he mentally spoke too open the system. "Show all the features". He then looked at the Grimm and saw Gender was Female. "Nyx, that seems like a good name for her".

As the system chimed in with the information, Oscar's eyes scanned the various features available to him. He was starting to get a better understanding of the Monster Menu and how it would play a role in his future.

Oscar nodded to himself as he read through Nyx's stats. The name Nyx seemed fitting for her. The shadowy connection she had with him made the name even more appropriate, considering the Greek goddess of the night. She was an enigmatic little creature, after all.

Oscar let out a small chuckle as he skimmed through the list of features. It was clear that the Monster Menu gave him a lot of control over his new little companion, and the connection they had already was growing stronger.

"Regeneration... that's going to be really handy," Oscar mused aloud, thinking about how Nyx could survive battle without too much risk. The ability to regenerate as long as he was alive meant she wasn't as fragile as the typical Grimm—she could take a beating and recover from it. That was a huge advantage.

Nyx, now fully out of the shadows, leapt onto the bed beside him, her small frame curling up as she looked at him with sleepy eyes. Oscar could feel the bond growing between them. She was more than just a powerful tool—she was an ally, and that made all the difference.

"Alright, Nyx," Oscar said, stroking her fur gently. "Let's figure out what we can do together. We'll train, and maybe I'll even find a way to make you even stronger."

Nyx meowed softly in response, nuzzling into his hand before resting her head down, her tail curling around her.

Oscar smiled. He was eager to see how far they could go together. After all, this was only the beginning.

Later that day

Qrow pinched the bridge of his nose as Oscar has told him everything as he looked at him. "I let you alone for just a few hours"

Oscar sighed, trying to explain himself, but he could tell by Qrow's irritated expression that it wasn't going to be easy. "Look, I didn't plan any of this, alright? I didn't even know I was going to get a Grimm Egg, and then it just... happened. Nyx, she just sort of... appeared."

Qrow raised an eyebrow. "A Grimm Egg? And now you've got some Grimm kitten with you?" He shook his head. "Kid, I swear, every time I turn around, you're involved in something crazier than the last time."

Oscar shrugged helplessly. "I'm not the one who gave me the power, Qrow. This whole system thing, it's just... overwhelming. But I have to figure it out. It's not like I can just ignore it."

Qrow let out a deep sigh, rubbing his temples as if trying to stave off a headache. "I get it. You're trying to get control of this whole mess. But keep in mind, Grimm aren't just pets, Oscar. They're dangerous, unpredictable. You've got no idea what you're dealing with. Nyx might look harmless now, but you need to stay on top of her development, or worse, she could turn on you when you least expect it."

Oscar's face tightened, his eyes locking with Qrow's. "I know. I get that. But I trust her. She's not like other Grimm."

Qrow gave him a hard look, as if he were waiting for Oscar to slip up, to say something that would confirm his fears. But instead, he just sighed again. "Fine, fine. You trust her. But make sure she doesn't trust you too much. Grimm can be tricky like that. One second, they're loyal; the next, they're your worst enemy."

Oscar nodded slowly, understanding the weight behind Qrow's warning. "I'll be careful. I'm not stupid."

"Good," Qrow said with a smirk, though there was no humor behind it. "Just remember that, and don't go getting yourself killed. We need you alive, kid."

Oscar chuckled lightly. "I'll try not to. But no promises. Life's gotten pretty complicated."

Qrow then looked at Oscar. "Also the fact you got a Grimm egg, opens up so many Questions about the Grimm that opens up so many questions of Door that I am not ready for, like what are the Grimm at this point".

Oscar looked up at Qrow, noticing the concern in his eyes. "Yeah... I get that. This whole Grimm Egg thing doesn't exactly make sense to me either. I mean, Grimm are supposed to be mindless creatures, right? But now, I've got one that seems... different. Nyx doesn't act like the Grimm we usually fight."

Qrow folded his arms, deep in thought. "That's the problem, kid. You've been given something that doesn't fit the usual mold. Grimm, at their core, are driven by negative emotions, and they're supposed to be pure chaos, destructive forces. But if this... system of yours is making them more... manageable or even helpful, that changes everything."

Oscar stood up, pacing slightly as he tried to process what Qrow was saying. "You think this could be connected to the whole Grimm thing in general? Like, maybe my system is... changing them? Or is it just Nyx?"

Qrow's eyes narrowed. "Could be. Or it could be something else entirely. We've seen Grimm that are more than what they seem—like the Nevermore or the Beringel. They're not as simple as they look. But this? You're walking a fine line, Oscar. You're playing with forces you might not fully understand yet."

Oscar paused. "I can't just ignore it. The system's been giving me these powers for a reason, and I need to figure out why. If I can control Nyx, maybe I can find a way to control the other Grimm too. Maybe even stop them from attacking... or worse."

Qrow rubbed his chin. "You might be onto something there. But be careful. As powerful as this system is, it's still dangerous. If you start using it recklessly or try to tame the Grimm too much, you might end up creating a bigger problem."

Oscar gave a determined nod. "I know. But right now, I need to figure out how to control it before it controls me."

Qrow hesitated, as if weighing his words carefully. "Alright, kid. But remember: there's always a cost. And once you open a door to something like this, you can't always close it again."

Oscar looked at Qrow, understanding the gravity of what he was saying. "I'll be careful, I promise. But I can't stop now. Not when we're so close."

Qrow gave a short grunt, a reluctant approval in his voice. "I know you're doing your best, but remember—you're not in this alone. If things get out of hand, you come to us, understood?"

Oscar smiled, appreciating the support, even if Qrow was trying to downplay his concern. "Understood. Thanks, Qrow."

With that, Qrow turned to leave, but before he stepped out, he gave one last warning. "Just make sure you're asking the right questions. Because if you're not careful, this whole situation might just swallow you whole."

Oscar stood there for a moment, his thoughts heavy with everything Qrow had just said. It was more than just a Grimm Egg or a system now. The very nature of the Grimm, of his power, of what he was becoming—it was all tied together in ways he couldn't yet fully comprehend.

And if he wasn't careful, it could all spiral out of control.

With a sigh, Oscar glanced down at Nyx, still curled up at his feet. "Alright, Nyx. We've got a lot to figure out."

Nyx meowed softly in response, her bright, yellow eyes glowing in the dim light of the room. It was as if she understood the seriousness of the moment too. Together, they would have to uncover the mysteries of the Grimm—and the strange new path Oscar found himself on.

Oscar then Unsheathed Crimson Fang as he looked at Nyx. "I gess just watched me".

He then looked at the tree as he started. "1".

As he swings and hits, as he then continues, as he made each swing made each slice as it went on like that for few minutes. As it has been a few minutes.

Oscar then sliced the tree again. "100".

He sighed and then put Crimson Fang away, as then used Infernal Edge as started from 1 again.

Later that night Oscar was doing the same thing, he now had done this a total of 400 times, 200 times in the Day and now 200 Times in the Night as he sighed.

Oscar looked at his system ss he looked at his [Sword Mystery] skill. "Creat my own unique Sword Technique huh, will I getting there".

Oscar then though too him self. "4 week until beacon Huh, let's do this".

4 weeks later

Qrow was inside of Oscar house, as he was looking at what was happening with his Aunt Emimel as they both looked at eachother, they are a bit worried.

Oscar knew that it was still time, as he knew before Beacon started he was going to do this, he had just returned from Argus with Qrow, and not it was time

Every day and Night, Oscar goes out ssn does 100 slash both with Crimson and his Infernal Claymore, in total doing 200

He was Slash a Tree, each slash each strike was in one particular place, as he did both Qrow awn his Aunt Emimel watched him, wonder what he was doing

This went on for 2 and a half week, as Oscar was now in front of trh tree, he was shirtless, as he was holding his Crimson digger.

Oscar still holding his crimson Fang, at this point he was still trying as sweet was dripping. "99.... 1 more to go".

As then Oscar took a deep breath, he closed his eyes, as then he opned as he seemed to be in a void, as noting bru he and tree was there, Oscar was covered in darkness with only his eyes there glowing, this was all in Oscar head, as then pushed him self forward, as then he swings with them his sword getting cover in Fire, water, earth, air, Lighting, Light and Shadow magic, as then it all went away like it was all turned too Zero, as he swings it.

As it shows that Oscar was now behind the tree, as the tree was cleanly cut in half, as it called what did Oscar just do, he just cut the tree in the sabatomic level, that tree will never be able to put back together

Oscar then felt too his knees and then fell face front as Qrow as Emimel rushed out. "I feel like shit"

Ding!

Ding!

[5% Stamina Remaining]

As then Oscar blacked out

Oscar's vision blurred as he collapsed to the ground, his mind reeling from the intense strain of pushing his body and mind beyond their limits. Every inch of his body screamed in exhaustion, but despite the overwhelming fatigue, a sense of accomplishment washed over him.

Qrow was the first to reach him, kneeling down beside Oscar with a concerned look in his eyes. "Kid... what the hell were you thinking? You overdid it!"

Emimel quickly followed, kneeling next to her nephew and gently brushing his damp hair from his forehead. "Oscar, you're pushing yourself too hard. What was that move you just did? I've never seen anything like it."

Oscar's body felt heavy, his limbs unresponsive, but his thoughts slowly began to clear. The last thing he remembered was his sword cutting through the tree like it was made of paper, the raw magic he'd infused into it completely overwhelming his senses.

"Absolute Zero..." he mumbled weakly, his eyes fluttering open to meet Qrow's worried gaze. "I... I created my own technique... It wasn't supposed to take this much out of me."

Qrow let out a frustrated sigh. "You think?" He glanced at Emimel. "We've got to get him inside and let him rest. He can't keep going like this."

Emimel nodded, scooping Oscar up with surprising ease for her size. "He's been pushing his limits too much... I'll take care of him, Qrow. You go make sure nothing happens while I get him in bed."

As Emimel carried Oscar back into the house, Qrow stayed behind for a moment, staring at the tree that had been completely obliterated. He shook his head in disbelief, then looked up at the sky.

What in the hell is going on with this kid?
