《Ghost World Academia》38-Pure Mana

Ryuga closed his eyes as he fell down the mansion. He remembered his past as he fell down.
“What is it that you want to be?”
(That’s what father asked me all those years ago.)
“A hero!”
(I replied. Of course, I found heroes to be quite cool. Was there any other reason to it? No there wasn’t any reason for it. So, what is it that made me lose interest in becoming a hero?)
“The answer is nothing.”
(That’s right, nothing. As I grew, my interests started changing. I just wanted to live a peaceful life and I wanted no one to bother me but now…Look at me, I am fighting someone who I never had a chance to defeat…
I never had a chance to defeat huh? Why the hell am I even here? Was it because…I had a chance to be cool?)
“Ryuga has no limiters. He is just a normal human.”
(I remember how everyone thought I was depressed because I had no limiters when I was a kid. Both, mother and father tried to cheer me up.)
“Ryuga, it’s alright kiddo, we will find a way to make your dreams come true.”
(That’s what father said to me.
All those years ago, when he wasn’t a balding parent, he comforted me.)
“Today, I am going to teach you something, Ryuga. This is how to control your chi.”
(Control my chi…Right. I learned chi control from my old man and after that, he taught me more about chi.)
“To control your chi, you need to let loose of your body and mind. You have to calm your mind and you need to let your body meditate.”
As Ryuga fell down the mansion, he took a deep breath and cleared his mind.
(That’s right, that’s how your control your chi.)
“Good! You have learned to control your chi. Now, you need to learn to use it.
To use your chi, use senses. The trees, the birds, the worms, the rain, this whole environment is your friend. To use your chi is to control your whole environment.”
(I haven’t practiced using Chi in a long time but…If I can win, if only I can win using that method, I will do it!)
Ryuga opens his eyes. “ALICIA! TELL ME A SPELL THAT I CAN USE TO SOFTEN MY LANDING!” Ryuga screams. “Eh?! I don’t know…” Alicia The Ogre replied to Ryuga.

Alicia the Neko God goes to the mic and says, “The spell chant is ‘Heavenly water cushion, soften cushy landing.” Alicia the Neko god announces. “Eh?! Seriously? The fuck kinda spell is that?!” Ryuga looked quite confused. “Ryuga! If you don’t use that spell, you will die!” Alicia the Ogre screams at Ryuga. “Fucking hell! ‘Heavenly water cushion, soften cushy landing!’” Ryuga uses the spell and a water cushion appears right under Ryuga softening his landing. He bounces off of the cushion and onto the ground hurting his butt.
“Tsch! That hurt!” Ryuga soothes his butt. “RYUGA!” Jau smothers Ryuga in her breasts. “Jau…Jau…You are killing me, Jau!” Ryuga says to Jau. “Dude, you’re seriously going to kill him with your breasts.” Kirio says to Jau. Dust follows Ryuga down and lands softly behind him. Jau leaves Ryuga and holds her club to fight Dust. Ryuga puts his hand in front of Jau, “Don’t worry, I got this.” Ryuga says with a smile.
“I am surprised that you aren’t letting the strongest person in your group take care of me. Don’t get me wrong, I admire your efforts to not give up but even you should know that I am too strong for you.” Dust says to Ryuga. “This time, it won’t be the same. Because this time, you are in my domain.” Ryuga says to Dust. Alucard looked quite confused from what Ryuga said. “Your domain? That’s quite an interesting way to put it. But, you are still going to be weak.” Dust says to Ryuga. “We will see about that.” Ryuga says.

The air flows calmly as Ryuga closes his eyes. “Ryuga…” Jau backs off as she watches Ryuga’s calmness. “This is…” Alicia felt something inside Ryuga. Lucifer’s eyes widen, “Lucifer…Who is that boy?” Alicia the Neko God asks Lucifer. As calm as Alicia the Neko God seemed, even she felt something weird about Ryuga. “You felt it too?” Lucifer asks The Neko God. The Neko God nodded and stared at Lucifer. “That boy…He is someone who can even surpass me…That’s all I got to say about him.” Lucifer says as she sweats with a nervous smile.
“Closing your eyes? What now? Are you going to ask the wind where my kicks and punches are coming from?!” Dust mocks Ryuga. Ryuga takes a deep breath. Dust sighs, “I will just end this.” Dust suddenly appears behind Ryuga. He tries to punch Ryuga but this time, Ryuga blocks his punch with his left hand.

“IMPOSSIBLE!” Alucard got up from his chair. “I told you didn’t I? You are now in my domain.” Ryuga says to Dust. Dust smirks, “It seems that you had something under your sleeve.” Dust says to Ryuga and backs off.
“It has to be a fluke, right?! My lord?!” Bin asks Alucard. Alucard looked quite unhappy with the situation. Dust once again attacked Ryuga at full speed and Ryuga blocked that. He kicked and Ryuga blocked, he punched and Ryuga blocked. The fact that Ryuga was blocking Dust’s attack wasn’t impressive but the fact that Ryuga was withstanding his attacks was the most impressive.
~GHOST WORLD ACADEMIA~
“The heck dude?! When did Ryuga get so good?!” Kirio asked Mearid. Mearid just shrugged his shoulders. “He is strong…Even without magic, Ryuga is strong.” Ellie says. “No…Ryuga is using magic…But it’s different. There is something different about the type of magic he is using.” Jau points out. “What does that mean?” Clayton asks Jau. “That magic he is using…It is harmful to a lot of speicies like demons, vampires, angels, and many more.” Gordon says. “What?” Kirio looked confused. “Even standing here near him is making me shiver…” Kirio says.
“That’s…Pure Chi or what you would call Pure mana.” Lucifer says. “What’s that?” Kirio asks Lucifer. “Pure mana…” Even Alucard started to sweat after listening to that. “In this world, only a few that have the talent to use Pure Mana. Basically, when all the meridians in your body are freed, mana starts flowing all around your body. What this does is that it doesn’t increase your mana capacity but rather the pureness of your mana. The purity of the mana depends on different factors, like the environment you live in, what kind of training you undergo and what kind of element is your limiter of magic. The higher the purity of your mana, the more dangerous it is for other species type to stay around you. Of course, you can control that mana but it is considered to be one of the strongest weapons against different species. Each species has a different type of Pure Mana. What Ryuga is using can be called Pure Chi, a human type of Pure Mana.” Lucifer explains.
“I didn’t get a thing but I got this that Ryuga is super strong or something like that.” Kirio says as he thinks. “Yeah, yeah, you could say that.” Lucifer says. “Damn, I didn’t think that he would surpass me even after not having a limiter.” Kirio looks quite disappointed in himself. “Well, I do have a plan for him once we get back but it seems that he has this under his bag.” Lucifer says with a smirk.
~GHOST WORLD ACADEMIA~
Dust looked quite exhausted from all the hitting that he gave Ryuga. Ryuga took a deep breath. “My turn.” He said and quickly ran towards Dust. Dust could clearly see Ryuga coming in. He thought that he could dodge Ryuga’s incoming attack by jumping in the air. “What?!” But to his surprise, Ryuga jumped in the air to attack him as well. He flipped and kicked him into the ground. Dust spurted out blood.
“DUST!” Bin screamed out. Alucard started to look more and more nervous. Dust tried to get back up but by the time he got back up, Ryuga got close to him and punched him right in the face. The punch sent him flying past the crowd and to the wall behind the ground. Ryuga created a surfboard made of water without chanting a spell and surfed towards Dust on it. Dust tried to get back, “Tsch! That guy…What the hell did he do to himself?!” Ryuga threw the surfboard onto Dust and flipped. Dust absorbed Ryuga’s surfboard with his second key but Ryuga dropkicked him as he absorbed the surfboard. “Guh-“ Dust looked like he was about to go down.
“One final strike!” Ryuga said to himself and he was about to attack Dust again but that’s when he got kneed in his gut. “Guh-“ Ryuga looked in a lot of pain as he saw Alucard standing in front of him as he lost consciousness. “RYUGA!” Alicia the Ogre screamed. “You lose.” Alucard says.
“ALUCARD!” Lucifer quickly appeared in front of Alucard. Not only did Lucifer but also Alicia The Neko God as well as Mearid and Jau took guard in front of Ryuga. “I don’t fucking care about what you do to anyone but I will kill you if you try to harm Ryuga any further!” Lucifer angrily states.

Epoch: An NPC's Tale
Epoch is a slow-burn LitRPG/Gamelit novel that tells the story of Luke, later named Lucius—a natural inhabitant of the game-like realm of Elyssia where thousands upon thousands of detached, virtually unkillable entities known as the Players were suddenly introduced right after the dusk of the magnificent Age of Heroes. Shortly after the Players arrived, the balance of power in Elyssia instantly shifted. Kingdoms fell, wars were waged, alliances between races were made, and Lucius, after ten years of training in captivity, found himself being used as a pawn in a prophecy that he had no intention to fulfill. With aspirations and desires of his own, Lucius must find a way to cautiously adapt to the drastic changes in the very foundations of the realm after being sent 300 years into a future that was forever altered by the outcome of the war that his captors had lost and the Players won in a victory that resounded throughout the ages, all for a terrible price. Author's Note As an avid fan of the LitRPG genre myself, I wrote this novel with character progression, heavy Gamelit elements, and some degree of world-building in mind. If you like these, please feel free to give this novel a try. Oh, and the MC is also an NPC, in a sense. And wait, isn't this also an isekai story? Well, it's all a bit complicated to explain here. Maybe you should start reading now?
