"Shh, take a moment and just listen to the wind blow in the trees. Listen to the birds singing and the crickets chirping. Just take a moment to listen to the world being the world."
"Somethimes you have to let piece into your mind and slow your thoughts. You have to relax if you want to be well rested for the future."
"I know that it may not seem important but take it from someone that has experience in the field, it is more valuebal then knowldge has words for."
"Just sit back and be child, just sit back and be. Now tell me, does that feel good? No stress or fatgue, just piece of mind and body."
"This reminds me of some monks that I knew back in the day. Would you like to here about them."
I met them in the mountians of china. They lived in a monistery and were didicated to the prosuit of knowledge. If you have a hard time imagineing that then just think of a librarian that can rip your head off and go from there. They spent their days practicing with their bodies and then spent the nights honing their minds to a razors edge. I learned to call them friends.
When I went to see them was after '...', it was after war. How I hate that word. I had jsut returned home from the fighting and the bloodshed to find myself hated for surviving the battles. I was sick of it and decided to head off to a place where I could find piece. I spent 1 1/2 years searching for it and then I found their monestary.
They saw someone haggred by time and battle. Yet they did not hesitate to offer me food. They treated me like a guest and I behaved like one. I showed them the proper respect that they had earned. I have never in my entire life before or sense met anyone more at piece with themselves. They helped me to find my humanity after fighting in the sky for so long.

When a celebration of the new year came we all got together and told stories of our lives. They asked me to tell a storie that would make them laugh and I told them of my rambunchus youth. A few said that they wished they could have traded places with me and I asked why they could not see the world nowdays.
It was ten years later that I found out the effects of my careless words. The monks of the tempel would go out into the world and try and show them piece. In exchange they got the pleasure of seeing the world. I had unknowling started what would become a tradition among the monestary.
To see what is out there and bring back your story would become a staple of their beliefs.

8 142The Pugilist
Vincent Roy Salazar has never been your common folk. He climbed any mountain he found in front of him. From a bright young student to an accomplished professor, his life can be described as a continuous race to the top of his chosen fields. Patriarch of a loving family, proud father of three already grown siblings, Roy realizes that his life is the perfect picture of what the average man strives for, and for that he is truly grateful. But happiness is a difficult-to-reach goal, and as he lies in a pool of his own blood, his fist cracked, a young lady crying while cradling his head, he remembers what really gave sense to his youth. Pure Unadulterated Violence The Pugilist wants to be a different take on isekai shenanigans. What would happen if instead of a moronic idiot, a depressed high schooler, or a wannabe hero the one to get his do-over is a fully grown man that has already seen what life has to offer in full? Someone who conformed himself to society, but has always craved something different? In a journey of self-discovery, academy building, god-slaying, and absolutely no harem we follow someone driven by logic, experience, and a smokey goal: to fuck shit up, have fun while doing so, and maybe resume his career as a professor for those strange, magic-wielding, unstable youths that seems to never get enough of his presence. Guys, a few notes, first of all, this is my first time writing long-form fiction. I have a background in psychology, and my main income comes from writing dreary financial articles on SEO blogs. But after a bad break-up, and finding myself falling asleep only while thinking of deus ex machina for stories on this site (and for APGTE) I decided to try my hand at this web series thingy. I'm confident in my grammar, but that's it. Everything else will be a first time, and as such any constructive criticism is encouraged and gratefully accepted. Now, on the story. Romance will be introduced once my little heart is mended, if you are scared of LGBT you may be turned off by the fact that I plan to have no taboo of any kind in my universe, but I won't ever write detailed sex scenes for any characters so don't worry too much. The litRPG part is very light and will take place later in the novel, but it's a key component nonetheless, for world-building and storyline reasons. I already have everything big planned out, so I won't drop it outta nowhere, and I hope you won't find too many flaws in how things pan out. I plan to make The Pugilist an interactive story, with secondary characters created by my audience and introduced after tweaks and careful planning. The main reason I'm writing this is that I want to build a community for myself in this time of isolation. I discovered that exercising, playing the piano or video games means jack-shit when you are utterly miserable, so I hope to give some value to my readers in exchange for praise, fame, money, and companionship. I give full props to anyone who has read this whole mess of a synopsis: I hope to not disappoint too much, now let's write some more steaming garbage that will be in dire need of editing later on.
