《StrayKids | Boxer》1|Practice Makes Perfect

"Y/N, remember to keep your feet diagonal, that's where your mistakes are happening. You're having to twist your whole body just to be able to swing at your opponent, and remember your quick steps we both know that's your advantage point." Your trainer, Mark advised.
"Ok coach." You quickly stepped back up to the ring. "You ready?" You panted whilst turning back to your training partner, Minho.
"Uhh, ready as I'll ever be, being your punching bag." He laughed.
Minho was a close friend of yours, you two had met a few years ago when he joined the same boxing classes that you took. Ever since then he had become like an older brother, you two sticking by each other through thick and thin.
He was a strong opponent and could easily take you down, but the one thing he lacked was the intelligence and strategic side of boxing.
His only tactic was to hit as hard as he could. Every time he fought against you he would just try to hit you, but you on the other hand, always knew how to tire him out and you would eventually win.
You knew all of his movements before he would strike, it was always two steps and then a quick jab with the opposite hand, any other time that he would fake he only took one step.
As you were watching his footsteps, you knew that he wouldn't strike because of the single step that he took. You took the opportunity to right hook his gut, he stumbled back a bit from the impact, but remained unfazed whilst regaining his posture.
"Come on man, you should have seen that one coming."
"No, I did, you're just too quick to be able to block."
"Yeah yeah, you're just getting old, old man."

"Just shut up and keep fighting, you need all the practise you can get before tomorrow's fight."
You both laughed facing each other again.

After you had finished training, you headed for the showers. Grabbing your phone out of your bag, you checked to see if you had any new messages.
| :big boss: [next one down is Bangchan, I'll send you the info soon]
| :Y/N: [ok, easy done]
You didn't mind your job, you worked as a hitman for the government, killing many gang leaders. It wasn't the best of jobs, but being so nimble and stealthy yet so strong, it was the perfect job for you.
Turning off your phone you placed it back in your bag, stepping into the shower, the hot water fogging up the windows.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
