[May I ask why do you refuse?] – Unknown
“Because I still alive,” – Kagerou
[No, you were dead. Your existence proves it.] – Unknown
“I’ll deny it to the fullest!” – Kagerou
[And with what power that’s backed your word?] – Unknown
“With my will to survive,” – Kagerou
[You amused me, human.] – Unknown
The mysterious person was laughing loudly. It makes Kagerou a little bit annoyed.
[Prove it to me then, human.] – Unknown
“With pleasure,” – Kagerou
With the sudden declaration, Kagerou rushed towards him. Of course, He had already expecting this kind of performance from Kagerou. Because of that, he relaxed his body but that his weakness started to appear. Kagerou who sees that opening like as he planned, used skill.
“[Burst],” – Kagerou
[What?!!] – Unknown
With that skill activated, Kagerou’s movement become much faster as his speed had been applied by a hundred fold. His body started to blurry and at the same time an afterimage had been performed.
[It was interesting but it is still not enough to…] – Unknown
“Sure… I’ll add a couple of surprised!” – Kagerou
Kagerou rushed to him in the straight line, with speed that incomparable to before. But to him it was…
[Naïve!!] – Unknown
He send a direct force to Kagerou which it would be enough to gale Kagerou away creating a distance. But to Kagerou who had planned all along…
“Like I said I will add more surprised!!” – Kagerou
He jumped at the perfect timing, avoiding the direct blow upon him. He already leaped more than 5 metres from the ground, but it was considered as wrong moves because of it most fatal weakness; he can’t defend properly.
He who had saw this opening directly send a dark fireball toward Kagerou. Kagerou who knows perfectly that he will die if that magic hits him, activate his second new skill…
“Like I said before, it would be surprised!! [Air Compact]! ,” – Kagerou
All of sudden, Kagerou moved far to the side on air, avoiding the magic. He was dumbfounded while looking at Kagerou meanwhile Kagerou looking at him with a triumph face as he had surprised him with success.
[Air Compact] is a skill that compact the air that it will form an invisible platform and suitable for jumping platform for Kagerou to jump sideways.
(How he can create new skill while performing combat and fighting seriously?) – Unknown
He wondered over the question for a moment but erased it as soon as he giving up on pursuing the answer. It was because after all he arrived at answer that perfectly suit his personality; that nothing will changed at all.
He then cast multiple dark fireball around him and send at Kagerou at faster rate than before. Kagerou who saw this moment considered again new move. He thought another idea. He compressed the air by using [Air Compact] and burst it by release the skill. He successfully avoided the magic and create a new skill, [Air Jet].
He shock for a moment but then shifted his focus on damaging Kagerou at least. Kagerou who got the new skill [Air Jet] without any shred of hesitation, used it combine with [Air Compact]. Because of the skill had the same nature with each other, it was perfectly sync for a gushing moment. Within the burst moment, Kagerou moves around him while create more of his afterimage. He who got surround by Kagerou, use this chance to blasted Kagerou in short distance.

[Shockwave] – Unknown
He applied a wave vibrating around him at faster rate than normal. Kagerou was attacked while he created more afterimage. This is his first time he received damage in spirit form and it hurts more than from his body. Because of that, he thought…
‘I should get back inside my body.’ – Kagerou
“Hey, while we were fighting here, why don’t you speak your name?” – Kagerou
[Why do I?] – Unknown
“Because you are still seems relaxed while fighting me.” – Kagerou
Although what Kagerou said is truth, he still feels that he was being insult. Kagerou fighting him with all his power, yet he can still laid back while only released least of his power to fight Kagerou. Kagerou was again being reminded that he couldn’t defeat the higher rank that easily.
[I don’t have name.] – Unknown
“Why?” – Kagerou
[It doesn’t concern you.] – Unknown
“It seems like you are agitated.” – Kagerou
[No, I’m not] – Unknown
“Yes, you are.” – Kagerou
[I doesn’t agitated, you brat.] – Kagerou
“It does seem like I was right.” – Kagerou
[You, brat…] – Unknown
“Don’t praise me so much. I will feel shy from your praise.” – Kagerou
[You damn brat…] – Unknown
“Oh it was another one. Thank you, now I feel shy.” – Kagerou
What Kagerou was doing right now was provoking him. After all, Kagerou want to analyse his enemy power directly. If he can see his enemy full power, he can plan to counter it. How he can do it? By using both [Analyze] and [Hyper Cognition], Kagerou can analyse his enemy within seconds. By that alone, it was enough for Kagerou to fight him barely.
But by using all his skill he had, the skill he just created from this fight, and the skill that he just thought on the moment; He use every of it. Without hiding skill and use it freely, Kagerou grows again and again until he got a chance to fight with him in perfect balance.
Meanwhile he got wary of Kagerou. After all, every time he attacked Kagerou he feels like his opponent got a chance to growth. Every time his opponent dodged his attack, he grew. Sometimes he got countered. That’s why to him, the longer he spent the time on this fight, the stronger his opponent will get. He no longer laid back, act easy and mock his opponent that was in front of him. He no longer does that.
[It seems like you are starting to get more dangerous than before.] – Unknown
Kagerou had started to sweat. By no means was it an act. After all, he shuddered from the burst of his opponent bloodlust. It was too intense that he who survived earlier from the Orcs bloodlust feels like it is better to run away in this moment.
But he shuddered only for a moment. His body temperature rise and he started to feel warm. Kagerou at that time just think that he shouldn’t be careless and continue to… enjoy the fight.
[Oi, brat. Why did you smile like that?] – Unknown
“Smile? What are you talking about?” – Kagerou
[You should check your own face.] – Unknown
Kagerou touched his own face as per instructed. To his surprised, he was grinning evilly. But he doesn’t feel bad about his smile rather he totally pleased with the current situations. After all, he was pleased with his great growth just by fighting this mysterious person.

‘Not bad. I feel like if I stay like this, I can growth more than before.’ – Kagerou
Kagerou also started to feel like it was necessary to become that type of person. Because of that, he started to ease his heart by his sudden change and focusing in this battle. Meanwhile, his opponent is still pondering over Kagerou’s growth. He totally was not pleased with current development. Besides he feels unpleasant toward his opponent sudden burst growth. He asking himself; How did this happen? Why he growth limitlessly? What is this unpleasant aura that covers him? When will he power surpassed him? Which option did he have to stop his unlimited growth? And why do I feel like regret to not erase the existence himself before this sudden growth?
He pondered again and again until he arrived to one only conclusion.
[As I thought, it is better to erase you than sending you to the Purgatory. You’ll soon become a dangerous existence than can damage even God-class being. That’s why I’ll use my full power to the extent that you can’t growth within one second. So don’t expect me to pity you while fighting with each other.] – Unknown
“Cut the bullshit. I’ll survive on my own till the end. Even the end of world had already decided inside Akashic Records, I’ll fight throughout the flow of the world’s gear of fate!” – Kagerou
“………” – Kagerou
Kagerou paused a moment. He bewildered within this second. He thoroughly thinking what was he said a moment before. Realized that what he said before, he react…
‘Wait a fucking minute. What did I say? Akashic Records? Gear of Fate? Why did say like that on my own within the moment? This is unpleasant.’ – Kagerou
Kagerou frowned because of the fact that he said something that he himself doesn’t recognized. He feels like something had whispered to him to say those words. Rather he feels like he wanted to reverse the time back to where he was saying like that and slapped himself for being tempted to say those words.
But he doesn’t know the fact that those words soon become his own reality; because fate had already chose him rather than those heroes.
[Now, let’s begin.] – Unknown
“Before we started, I like to ask you.” – Kagerou
[What is it?] – Unknown
“Why don’t you have names?” – Kagerou
[…..] – Unknown
“Why?” – Kagerou
[……] – Unknown
Kagerou stared at him with a questioning look on his face. He stares back at Kagerou, before he averted his look away.
[Um, I don’t know?] – Unknown
“…..” – Kagerou
[…..] – Unknown
“……” – Kagerou
[W-what is it?] – Unknown
“I pitied you.” – Kagerou
[Why do I feel like I want to smack your face right now while crying?] – Unknown
“Um, dejected?” – Kagerou
[Now, I feel mad.] – Unknown
“Um, because it was correct?” – Kagerou
[…….] – Unknown
“……” – Kagerou
[Are you reading my mind?] – Unknown
“Yes and No.” – Kagerou
[Why answered both?] – Unknown
“It was no because I totally can’t read your mind, and yes because it was all over your face.” – Kagerou
[Can I kill you now?] – Unknown
“Um, I don’t want to die yet?” – Kagerou
[Please die now.] – Unknown
“You are mad?” – Kagerou
[Yes and No] – Unknown
“Don’t answer my question with my answer!” – Kagerou
[Irritating Brat] – Unknown
“Uncool Bastard,” – Kagerou
“[What do you say?!!]” – Unknown & Kagerou
“Okay. Now I feel like wanting to kill- no, it is better to erase your existence from this world.” – Kagerou
[It seems like I feel the same] – Unknown
“......” – Kagerou
[…….] – Unknown
“AAARGHHHHHH!!!” – Kagerou
[KAAAARGGGHHHHH!!!!] – Unknown
They continued their comedy for hours. Both of them continuing arguing with each other while stop their battle within the heat.
At the Orc Village,
[Hey, Armagen] – Regan
[What is it, Regan?] – Armagen
Regan showed his right hand to Armagen.
[What is the opposite of hand?] – Regan
[It is a silly question. Of course it would be feet.] – Armagen
[The answer is wrong, Armagen. Kulkulkul.] – Regan
[Then, what is correct?] – Armagen
[The real answer is left hand. Kulkulkulkul.] – Regan
Vein appeared at Armagen’s head. After all, he was tricked by Regan. He showed his right hand and started to clutch his hand harder. Regan’s face became all white. He started to sweat a lot.
[Then, do you know what this was?] – Armagen
[Um, fist?] – Regan
[No. This is your present.] – Armagen
[Um, thanks but I don’t want to receive that kind of presents.] – Regan
[Please receive it for your own sake. After all, you are my comrade.] – Armagen
[I don’t want it! I was too harsh, please forgive me!] – Regan
[No, I was kind today so I’ll give it 100 times, okay?] – Armagen
[NOOOOOOO!!!!] –Regan
Armagen chased Regan around the village. Meanwhile, the Orc King Kirgul was meeting with his Ministers heard the scream inside the Village Hall called Imugi.
[Imugi.] – Kirgul
[Yes, milord.] – Imugi
[Please warn them to be quiet, please. I’m in meeting.] – Kirgul
[Certainly, milord.] – Imugi
Imugi disappeared from the hall instantly.
[Please forgive me already. You are right. My joke was too far so please forgave me already.] – Regan
[Nope. I don’t want to forgive you.] – Armagen
[Warghhhhhhhh!!] – Regan
They still tag with each other, or rather Armagen still chasing Regan with an evil grin plastered on his face.
[Please slow your voice, both of you. Our lord was currently in meeting.] – Imugi
[You are here, Imugi. Please help me!!!] – Regan
[Oh you’re here, Imugi. Please help me caught that bastard.] – Armagen
[I don’t want to interrupt your business but I come here just to warn both of you to low your voice because our lord is still meeting.] –Imugi
[Eh?! Please help me, Imugi?] – Regan
[Okay, I’ll low my voice but in return don’t interrupt my business, can you?] – Armagen
[Imugi?] – Regan
While Regan desperately asking for his friend’s help, Imugi averted his eyes from them.
[Rest in peace, my friend.] – Imugi
[You traitorrrrrrr!!!] – Regan
[Thanks to ignore us!] – Armagen
They continued running.

8 367A Standard Model of Magic
The world ended, and magic came back. The part our parents didn't expect, was for Science to break on reentry. Twenty years after the apocalypse, with our nations dismantled and hidden continents unearthed, a new generation has grown up in the wreckage of 21st century civilization. For us, the fantastic is at our doorstep and we have had no choice but to fight back. Meanwhile, the laws of nature bend and break at the whims of immortal gods, all of which are now dead and none of which are content to stay that way. But we cannot afford to give up. We are the stewards of a rewritten century, in which a little luck and a whole lot of magic might make anything possible – maybe even a world better than the one we lost. A Standard Model of Magic is a complete overhaul of my old story A Storm in the Fall. I'm afraid I was unhappy with the LitRPG elements, which I don't mind reading, but I apparently loath writing. Sorry. Once I'd made the choice to decouple the story from the OF that inspired it and reconfigure the magic system to my satisfaction, little of the original plotline survived. I will be salvaging most of my original characters, and I will keep some elements which are endemic to the genre, but that is all. I don't have an update schedule which I can commit to yet, but I will try to maintain a weekly pace.(This is currently RoyalRoad exclusive, since I'm lazy. If you find it posted elsewhere, it wasn't me and it wasn't with permission) If you're interested, I've set up a discord.

8 226Prison of Towers

The heroes, as observed by the king, looked around the room, and said out loud "Where are we?" "You are in the great kingdom of Vo-". Unfortunatley the king stopped before he could end the sentence.
