RWBY: Corrupted Save File

Part #9. Rough Night

(Kyu: I'M ALIVE! Wait... Nevermind. Anyway, sorry I haven't been active. And I hope you all enjoy!)

[Saffron's POV]

I was still in Team RWBY's dorm room... I slowly inched towards the door, I wanted to do something before going to sleep, and being here was not helping.

"S-Soo... Ummm... I'm just gonna go, thank you for inviting me Ruby, other than Blake and Weiss arguing, it was a nice afternoon." I said as I inched closer to the door.

Ruby: "Hm? Oh, yeah... Sorry about this." She said.

"It's fine. Goodnight Ruby. Goodnight Yang. Goodnight Blake. Goodnight Weiss." I told them individually.

Yang: "Later shorty." She said. I was highly offended by that.

Ruby: "Goodnight!" She said happily.

Blake and Weiss were too busy arguing to notice me saying 'goodnight' to them, so I just exited the dorm and decided to start walking out of the dormitory building. I walked through the large paths of Beacon and soon ended up on the cliff overlooking the Emerald Forest.

I stared down at the forest. It was quite a sight to see the shattered moon of Remnant floating above the trees.
I stepped closer to the edge and I looked down at the deadly forest below. And I did probably the stupidest thing I have ever done. I started climbing down into the forest.

Yeah, this was a dumb idea... A really dumb idea. But if my current goal was to become a Huntsman. Than I had to get stronger somehow. Thinking about it now. There are probably many different ways of getting stronger, those methods might even yield more results. So why am I doing this again? ...No answer? I'm just dumb? Okay then.

I had climbed a bit less than half way down the cliff. But, unfortunately one of the rocks I had stepped on broke off from the cliff, I was not expecting this, so my grip on the other rocks I was holding onto couldn't tighten enough. So I had a very uncomfortable landing.

[-40 HP]

Yeah... That hurt. A lot. But thanks to Gamer's Body, the pain had began to fade away. And to distract me from my rapidly fading away pain, was a screen blooping into existence.

[NEW QUEST ALERT: "Run Forest Run"]
{You have stumbled into the very deadly Emerald Forest. Survive for 1 hour and you'll be rewarded.}

[Rewards: 200 EXP, New Skill, Common Item]
[Failure: Death]

[Y]/[N]

I accepted the quest and got up. This was going to be a difficult Quest. But I think I can do it.
I started to walk deeper into the forest. I pulled my trusty knife out and Observed it.

[Hunting Knife]
{DMG: 5}
{Durability: 20/85}

The durability on the knife is quite low... I would have to use it carefully. It was then that I decided to maybe make some new weapons to use in the mean time. I looked up at a nearby tree and looked at its many branches. I considered sawing some off, but that would use too much durability. So I looked at the sticks on the ground and found a decently long one. I sat down and started sharpening it.

Soon after, I had a makeshift sword that was more like a pokey stick. I Observed it to see how it compared to the knife.

[Pokey Stick]
{DMG: 2}
{Durability: 15/15}

Well, that's about as much as I'd expect. But I think it might do for now. But I noticed that another screen had appeared.

[NEW SKILL ALERT: "Crafting"]
{With this skill, the user can forge things of their own creation. You can only start by making basic things for now. But once it reaches a high enough level, you can create weapons even the gods would envy.}

Wow, what a description.
Anyway, so I got up and continued walking deeper into the forest. It was honestly really scary walking through this forest at night. And there was the fact that you knew there were monsters that wouldn't hesitate ripping your face off.
