[ Time / Location ]: Early-morning / Clearing behind the house
[ Pov ]: Dan Yuseong
Sitting on the wood stump I just made by cutting down a tree, I was looking at a system notification that just popped up.
< Repeated Specific Actions Generated the skill: [ Axmanship ] >
" Hmm, so just cutting down three trees gave me the skill of handling axes? What really counts as a skill? I sprinted for a full two hours yesterday but I didn't get a sprinting skill. Does the skill need to be job related? " I pondered, supporting my chin on the back of my hands while holding the axe to the ground.
I asked the system about it, but all it said was.
< Current [ User/Owner ]'s Level Is Insufficient For Said Inquiry >
Bullshit by the Highest order I say. ' How am I the Owner of Said system, but I can't ask it a basic question without needing some Admin type Authority over it. '
" Haaa, what can I do? I'll cross that bridge when I reach it, no need to worry my head over it. What's more interesting are the Max level skills I gained yesterday. " I reflected, avoiding the problem for now, a tactic my Earth dad instilled in me from a young age.
He'd always tell me, * Do not let what you cannot control consume what you can * He didn't say it like that word for word though, it's just short version of it.
No kid would have understand that. Basically, whenever he found me getting angry at a game or at a broken toy, he'd ask me * Will getting angry and upset fix it son? *
My simple answer of * No * that's still full of anger and saddens would always make him laugh out loud.
After observing me cry out in anger from his laughter, he'd say * You see, you already forgot about the anger from before and now you're angry at me. That's how much it doesn't matter, so don't let one problem that you can easily forget about ruin your whole day. *
I will always remember him for the great Dad and wise person he was. ' Hahaha, look at me dad. Your advice still works. '
After that momentary flashback, I pulled out the descriptions of the three new Skills I've gotten, four if you count one of my already existing skills getting upgraded.
An event I joked about, but it ended up happening anyway.
< The Skill [ Qi Manipulation ] Reached Max Level, Initiating Upgrade >
< Upgrade Successful, Acquisition Of New Skill [ Qi Control ] >

" ...okay, hmmm. " By that point, I didn't even know what strength I was using to stop myself from screaming at the top of my lungs in happens.
My legs were shaking from holding in the pure happiness that was coursing through my veins. I felt like the happiest Golden retriever.
" Ugh, I can't do this. " I sat-up so fast, I shot-up 2 meters in the sky and momentary floated there.
The moment my feet hit the ground again, I clenched my muscles and sprinted so ultra-fast into the woods, a still image of me stayed there for a second. I used every ounce of my agility and strength not forgetting to use my Flash step technique.
1 minute of sprinting at full strength allowed me to roughly reach Three kilometers of distance, but I didn't care about it at that moment.
Seeing as I've made quite the distance from our house, I abruptly stopped and cushioned my forward inertia by using a sturdy looking tree.
BAAM!! CRASH!!
Not sturdy enough apparently, I went through it and crashed two more trees, eventually stopping.
" Hooo, inhale... HELL YEAH! LET'S FREAKING GOOO! YES! YES! " The moment I stopped, I stretched my arms in the air and deeply inhaled, releasing my over accumulated happiness.
" Hahaha, what am I even doing. Was I always this emotional, hahah. " Laying on the ground, I laughed hard in confusion of my situation.
" Haaa, this is really a new world huh. Whoever you are that gave me the opportunity to be in this world, I thank you. " I didn't want to think about it deeply from the start, but I was clearly put here by some being. What supported that hypothesis was the upgraded system I currently have and the appearance of the resistance skill, a skill I always loved seeing when I read novels and fanfics.
" Putting that aside, I think I'll stay here for a while. Testing my new skills can wait, it's not like they're gonna suddenly disappear. " I said, looking at the scenery surrounding me.
I always loved to explore and sight see back when i used to go to my grandpa's hunting house.
The scenery that I was seeing right now was 100 times more magical and free looking than back on earth, the air felt so fresh and clean. Animals and insect's of all kinds were running around living their lives.
No trace of modern technology that could tarnish it. " Haaa, this is the life. " I might as well enjoy living this new life, getting stronger can wait.
---<>---
Getting back to the house was easy enough, both my inherited memories and absurd perception made it so I won't ever get to be lost again either here in these woods or in other places. The map skill helped too.
I brought with me some snacks for breakfast, four fully cleaned and gutted chunky adult rabbits. The forest didn't have any major carnivores like tigers or leopards, making it a paradise for small animals like rabbits and mice, hence their fullness.
" Hmm? How do I cock these? Should I roast them or... Hmm? " Half way through my food dilemma, my senses picked up movement from the front of the house.
Activating Hyper awareness, just to make sure. It turned out to be my dad sweeping the leaves from the courtyard.
" I'll ask him, maybe he knows a good way to cook them. "
Reaching the front of the house, I got curious and tried checking his level. ' It'd be funny if his level said ( ??? ), hehe. '
Putting that aside, I activated Inspect on him.
Lv. 6 [ Dan Jieong ]
Age: 47
' Huh, his level is actually decent compared to normal people. '
' But... He'd be like baby to any martial artist, I'll need to think of a way to make him stronger. I can't be by his side all the time. ' I grimly thought, not wanting what happened to my dad from earth to happen to my new dad.
" Ahh, son. I was wondering where you went too so early in the morning, you actually brought some rabbit. They are good feeding too. " Dad said, examining the rabbits I hunted.
I schooled my grim expression before he could see it, no need to worry him over nothing. " Uh, yeah. I thought I'd bring them and we could have a filling breakfast. "
" I would've said it's wasteful, but looking at your small stature that's already developing quite the muscles, you'd need all the nutrition you can get to compensate for your efforts. "
" Give me those and go and continue your training. Come back here in a half an hour to eat. " He said, snatching away the rabbits to cook them.
" Uh, I-i... Yeah. " I couldn't even say a word before he entered the house.
' It's like dealing with a mom and a dad in one person, guess he had to do that to have raised the original Dan Yuseong so well. ' I thought, really appreciating the effort he's still putting to take care of me even after becoming a martial arts student at CheonBong Academy.
" Speaking of muscles, this never gets old. " I said, looking at my plain looking arm. Flexing it produced these fine lines of porcelain looking muscle and veins.
" I got that Sitama sleeper build. " Even though I got 99 in strength, my muscles aren't bolking up and growing. A bonus in my book, looking like the hulk is not my dream build.
Through the use of Hyper Awareness to look into my body's growth, I found that I have a slightly faster than usual growth rate then normal teens. I've grown 4 cm taller just these two days.
But that's normal compared to someone like Jang Gihu. " I pitty his future wife. " I clapped my hands in prayer for my future sister in law.
Going back to the clearing, I started a thorough testing of my new skills.
First, I went with something I already used when I ran through the forest. Qi Control, formally known as Qi Manipulation.
The difference in handling my Qi was entirely new from one skill to another, it was like trying to describe the difference between night and day.
Where Qi Manipulation enabled me to to influence and coex my spiritual energy to move through my body making it feel like I'm asking it to do things.
Qi Control let me have the full control of where spiritual energy in the surroundings and in my body would go. Like I am ordering it, to be exact.
Seeing as i already had a good grasp on Qi Control, I next tried a skill that I kinda of used in a way.
I was referring to Qi State-Interference.
The technique that I had gained from winning against Gihu, Flash step was a form of Qi state interference. Although, it was a primitive way if compared to my max skill.
What Flash step really did was simply change the state of your internal Qi in your body into a lighter form, making your body in itself lighter and effectively giving you the ability to Sprint faster.
" Let's try changing my internal Qi's state using the skill. Hmm, a good reference for something light should be the Air. "
Going through with it, I changed my Qi's state to that of the Air's Qi state. The next second, I felt like I could float if I jumped a little, I was so light.
" Woah, this is sick. Let's try sprinting forw-" the moment I put a decent amount of strength and pushed my self forward, I cleared the entire clearing of 25 meters and found my self in front of a tree.
The only reason I didn't crash was because of my high perception, quickly canceling the technique and placing my hand on the tree to cushion my forward Force to a holt.
" -ard, haa. I'll be needing a lot of control training. "
For the next 10 minutes, I tried different kinds of Qi stats I observed from yesterday, like condensing my Qi and making my self super heavy almost cracking the ground.
It made me heavy, but it didn't put any burden on my body, it was fascinating.
Water Qi state was a weird one to go through.
After some thorough testing of other Qi stats, it was time to change skills.
The second max skill I really wanted to test out was Qi Telekinesis, it simply reminded me of one of my favorite Anime characters out there.
Master infinity ( Wuxian ) from The Legend Of HEI.
Although his abilities were about metal control and portals, it just meant I could do more with my telekinesis.
" Let's first try and see how much Qi it takes to pick up different weighted objects. " Using my Hyper Awareness that reached 360 meters in every direction starting from my body, I looked for an object that weighed about a kilogram.
Finding a rock that was close enough to 1 kg, I consciously used my Qi Telekinesis on it.
Using the skill felt so weird, it was like having a new limb that allowed me to pick up and control anything in my field of perception.
Looking at my Qi percentage in my status, it had only changed from 100% to 99% and that's because I used my Qi in flash step when I ran through the forest.
So it hadn't changed even a bit from picking up that rock.
Feeling bold, I started to pick up every and all objects that had the same weight to the first rock.
Rocks, logs, dirt patches and many different objects started floating in the air. When I couldn't feel any object that had the same or equal weight of 1 kg, stopped.
" This. Is. Absurd. " What confronted my vision was a swarm of objects in floating in the air, fixed in place. Not one object was wavering or shaking.
I could tell exactly how many and what type of objects I had in control. They numbered to 658 objects, all of this and I didn't even feel overwhelmed or anything.
What added to the absurdity was the fact that my Qi percentage only dropped by two, becoming 97 %.
" This is an overwhelming skill. When I eventually look for that Jade of Disorder in the Heanam island, I'll be a menace to anyone who hasn't reached the stage of perceiving Qi. "
" Now, let's try how fast I can make an object travel. " I slowly dropped almost all of the objects and left my control over 10 of them. I didn't retrieve my already expanded Qi, I just spread it among those 10 objects, giving me a finer control of them. This showed me another mechanic of how Qi Telekinesis worked, the more spiritual energy expanded on a object the finer control I can have over it.
Lifting them up about 100 m up in the air, I started spinning them in a circle. I started slow, then kept picking up the speed.
Eventually it got to the point that they looked like they fused together making a circle. The information I was getting from my perk indicated that they were traveling at the speed of 170 m/s, roughly half the speed of sound.
" That's pretty fast for the little Qi I put in. "
Abruptly stopping them, stopped the the mini tornado that was forming.
Next, I wanted to try and break the sound barrier. I dropped all but one rock. " Hmm, the rock would crumble the moment it exits my bubble of control if thrown in that kind of velocity, should I use the axe head? "
" No, we only have one axe. " I tapped my chin, thinking of anything that was durable enough.
That's when my thoughts clicked on the word durable. " Ayaa, I'm an idiot. I have such multiuse skill like Qi State-Interference, and I'm not even using 1 percent what it could truly do. "
Qi State-Interference is one of those skills that unless you have a brain and are creative enough، you won't be able to do shit with it.
Knowing that, I expanded some Qi from myself and wrapped it in a thin like skin layer that was condensed to hold and protect the rock from any pressure that it might experience when thrown. I went a step further and expanded more Qi, this time instead of a thin layer stuck to the rock, I wrapped the rock in a shape with that resembled a bullet. This made it so when it traveled through the air, the air resistance it might experience drops to a minimal. ' Aerial Dynamics and all that good shit. '
" Fowoah, guess it's time to send this rock to space. " I made a joke, not knowing if it's actually possible to do that.
Using the Qi from when I dropped the nine other objects, and a little more. I started by first giving the rock that's now wrapped in two protective layers an initial spin on the spot, making it so gravity won't have as much of an effect on it when it travels through the air.
WOOSHSH!
When it started creating this whooshing sound, I used my Qi Telekinesis that's already spinning the bullet like object to launch it as fast as possible.
Right before I launched it, I forcefully stopped myself remembering that Dad was still in the house and he could hear if an explosion happened from the sonic boom that could happen.
" Phew, thank God my Telekinesis is at max level. Stoping right as I was goonna lunch it was as easy as switching the light on and off. "
" Haaa, what do I do now? I should probably try another time. Tsk tsk tsk. " I thought in annoyance.
But I had a bold idea the next second, why not create a barrier that stops sound from reaching a certain space.
It was genius in theory, but a hassle to figure out quickly.
After a few minutes of thinking, I came up with a way to test it out. I first condensed my Hyper Awareness close enough to me to get as much information as possible.
Next, I focused my senses on my fingers to see how sound and Qi would interact when I snapped my fingers.
After a few minutes of snapping my fingers and thinking, I wrapped my hand in a bubble with Qi that had certain properties.
" The moment of Truth. " I snapped my fingers, and to my surprise and shock. There was no sound whatsoever.
" Yes! This is fucking awesome. The skill Qi State-Interference is so op when it comes to creativity. I could probably make the wildest abilities using it. " Seen as my test run was successful, I expanded back my senses and used the same principles to create a bubble around the house with the same properties of sound canceling.
It would probably sound weird for Dad inside the house, so I'll quickly launch the rock so I can remove the barrier.
Without any further ado, I launched the bullet shaped rock to the sky.
BOOOM!!
And to no ones surprise, there was a sonic boom. The rock was no more, it just disappeared from my senses.
Before that, I could tell exactly how fast it was going. An astonishing 446 m/s, it broke the sound barrier. And that was just by expanding about 3% of my total spiritual energy.
" Damn, i pity who's ever going to be my enemy. May you last before getting a bullet to the head. " I did a little prayer for my future enemies.
" Haaa, I want to test it more. But I only have about 10 minutes left before Dad finishes preparing breakfast, let's try using QiCultivation instead. " Sighing in resignation, I sat down in a comfortable position to start using my third skill.
What it did exactly was, it siphoned the wild spiritual energy from my surroundings in wisps, directing it straight to my body.
And to make this new energy mine, it took two stages. First, it changed it's state to align it with how my body's Qi felt. The second process was to circulate this new energy throughout my body's meridians for it to finally settle in my dantiagn.
The whole process wasn't sunshine and rainbows though. When the new energy circulated throughout my meridians, it felt like it was going to rip my spiritual veins apart, leaving my body sore all over.
" Argh, that's a whole new kind of pain to deal with. Not too new though. " I thought in despair, it resembled the feeling of trying to push out a huge hard shit through your asshole. One wrong move and you'll tear it apart.
" Fuhahh. " I shivered in place from imagining something like that.
" I might have to start out slowly just in case. I don't want to pop like a balloon from stretching out my spiritual veins/meridians. " I cautioned myself.
" Yuseong! Come and eat before going to the academy. " Eventually, dad called me for breakfast.
" Coming! " I called back.
Having partially tested what I can do with my new skills, I ended the testing for now and went and had breakfast with dad.
---<>---
[ Time / Location ]: Morning / Military academy CheonBong.
[ Pov ]: 3rd person
First thing Yuseong did after entering the academy was visit Gihu in the infirmary.
And like he had expected, he was still sleeping. Instead of waking him up like normal, he thought of a harmless prank that would do nicely for a sleepyhead like Gihu.
When he cought the rabbits in the forest and walked back home, his hand accidentally brushed against a plant that made his hand start itching and stinging.
It turned out to be a local medicinal plant called sylfas, although it had a substance coated on the leaves that acted like a weak deterring poison, it was harmless and didn't cause any lasting harm. If the plant was handled correctly, it could cure food poisoning.
All this information was from the original MC who had served as a soldier most of his life.
Thinking it might come in handy, he stocked a bunch in his storage.
" Never thought I would be using it so soon, heheh. " Yuseong whispered mischievously.
Slowly tip-toeing towards Gihu making sure not to make any sound, he reached his bedside.
Gihu already had his blanket off, he was also conveniently shirtless and laying on his back snoring. Not waiting any longer, Yuseong pulled two small stacks from his storage and layed them simultaneously on both his stomach and chest area.
Using the improved Flash step, he disappeared from there.
Appearing at the entrance of the infirmary, he came face to face with Soso, not surprised for seeing her. Infact, he sensed her before she reached half the distance from the infirmary.
Unlike Yuseong, Soso got the scare of her her life when she saw someone suddenly appear out of thin air in front of her. " Woah! How the hell did-humm? "
Before she could yell out some more, she felt a finger placed on her lips. Looking at Yuseong, he gave her a shushing gesture and then put up three fingers.
" Shhhh, wait for it, hehe. " At this point, she was completely confused. Still, she followed along and nodded slowly, a hint of pink appeared on her cheeks from when Yuseong touched her lips.
Starting the countdown, the anticipation for what's going to happen bubbled from his chest.
3...
2..
1.
When Yuseong dropped the last finger, a horrid scream came from the inside.
" AAAHHHH!? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? " Screamed Gihu, he felt like his stomach and chest area were being bitten by a thousand ants at the same time.
When he quickly removed the plants that were covering him, he found a multitude of red spots all over where the plants were.
Scratching those places relieved some of the itchiness, but it kept on itching. " Ahhh, ouch. Ahhh, ouch. "
Whenever he tried to scratch though, his bandaged sore forearms started throbbing in pain.
" Heheheh, that's what you get for trying to sleep through the second day of school. " Yuseong said, leaning discreetly from the door to observe.
" Oh my god, you did this? Pf- h-how could you? He's injured. " When he Looked back at Soso who was also peeping, he gave her a deadpan look.
The reason for that look was, she could barely even hold the laughter from bursting out.
Eventually, the damn broke and she started. " Pffhahahahah. The look on his face. "
Her loud laughter broadcasted their position to Gihu fast, and like a heat seeking missile he locked-in to them with a glare. " YUSEONG! SOSO! Get over here! " He said, jumping from the bed and sprinting towards them.
" Ahhh, sorry. I think master Tho is calling for me, bye. " Yuseong gave Gihu a peace sign and vanished the next second.
Gihu seeing him disappear, changed his Target. " YOU! "
" Huh? " Hearing Gihu calling and pointing to her, Soso stopped laughing and backed away slowly.
" Wait, wait, wait, I just came here. It was all Yuseong's doing. " Soso folded under zero pressure, blaming everything on the true culprit who had already fled the scene.
But Gihu didn't look one bit convinced, seeing this, Soso too bolted out. " Bye. "
" No you don't. " Gihu gave chase this time.
That morning, the Schools staff and guards were flabbergasted as to why there were two students chasing after each other and yelling insults.
When all of this chaos was happening, Yuseong was sitting cross legged under a tree, Mimi got out from his storage and sat on his lap purring and enjoying pets.
" Hmm, while waiting for Master Yum Ho, I really should think of a schedule. " Although the past two days were exciting and fun in an all kinds ways, his organized nature demanded a sort of planning to be set for his future days.
" Let's see. I first need to hone my control over my current strength and Qi, see what I can and I can't do. While doing that, I can't forget about following dad whenever he goes to the slums to help that family. Ohhh right, almost forgot about making it a habit to cultivate every morning and night. Hmm, that's a small amount of stuff to put in a daily schedule. " By the end of his count, he thanked whoever was responsible for the learning hours in the academy.
They only had two classes through the whole day, each comprised of 2 hours.
The first 2 hours of the day were reserved for academic learning.
The second session was for physical education/training.
Anything between or after is a self learning period, you could do whatever you want. Read in the library, practice your basics, ask for advice from the Masters or spar with your colleagues.
It was a pretty open way of teaching.
Feeling the approaching presences of Gihu and Soso lead by Master Ho, he got up and waited next to the homeroom. Pretending like he was waiting there all this time.
" Oh, Yuseong. You actually came on time, unlike these two. " Said master Ho while giving Gihu and Soso who looked like they were done playing on the ground a hard stare.
" What can I say, I learn from my mistakes. " Yuseong said, putting a hand on his own chest, trying to sound and look like he learned a valuable lesson.
All he got was a blank look from Master Ho, and two pairs of glares that could melt steel.
" Never mind that, time for class. " Master Ho led the way in.
Yuseong gave Gihu and Soso both a smirk and followed after.
" Why you! " Said Soso and got in too.
" Oh it's on. " Last was Gihu, who still had his arms bandaged. Even in that state, he looked ready for a fight.
---<>---
And just like that, his first ( third... but who's really counting. ) official day of his new life in this world started.
To ease the tension he created with his prank, he promised Gihu to spar every day. It served to both help him better control his strength and help Gihu get stronger by fighting someone strong.
Gihu's whole demeanor changed at the drop of a hat, he truly was obsessed with fighting.
Soso too caved in fast when he told her he was gonna teach her his Flash step technique. ( The unupgraded one, she couldn't even use the upgraded one even if she tried. )
It was a great technique for someone like Soso who depends on speed and precision when fighting.
The real reason for making those promises though, was because he wanted to know them better. Hopefully becoming great friends with them.
In the days that followed, Yuseong stuck to the schedule that he assigned to himself.
Sparring with Gihu proved to be the right move to take, it greatly improved his control on how much strength he should output for what result he wanted.
A slight change to their sparring was the inclusion of Soso in their sparring sessions, he got fired up when she saw Gihu making so much progress when he fought Yuseong.
Because whenever Gihu and Yuseong sparred, Yuseong would correct some mistakes and unneeded movements Gihu did while fighting. That coupled with the new technique he taught her, she was convinced she could get stronger learning from him.
But for Yuseong himself, he wasn't doing something that grand. It was all due to the help of his Hyper Awareness, he could see where a movement wasn't needed or better if it followed another path.
When it came to advancing his Qi control, he found out that the best way was to use two of his new Max skills QiTelekinesis and QiState-Interference.
They both demanded high levels of control, making them his best option to raise that control even further.
Of course, he used them in secluded places. The last thing he wanted was some random rumors pop up about him being some secret Master or something.
Qi cultivating on the other hand was both hard and easy to do. Easy in the sense that it didn't take much to to perform, just sitting down and activating a skill.
It was hard in the sense that it hurt to prolong the sessions when cultivating. He first started with only 10 minutes per session, eventually adding 10 more minutes the next session and after that. Caping it at 1 hour per session in the sixth day.
And he did two sessions per day, one in the morning and one at night. It was gruesome, as it made his body numb all over, but he braved through it.
He had no other choice but to do this, his body was that shitty.
Secretly following his dad was easy enough, but just staying there and spying on him hours on end felt like a waste of time.
Remembering how when the snake gang appeared in the manwha, a guy named Gyeong Hon who's affiliated with the shadow sect or whatever was it's name could haide his presence.
Thinking of that, Yuseong created a technique using the skill Qi state-Interference.
It was a technique that covered the body in a skin-thin layer of Qi that reflected the light around it to make it seem as though he doesn't exist.
It took him a while to find the right Qi frequency that reflected the light evenly without making a mirage whenever he moved.
Taking it further he added another layer that canceled any sound he made, just like carrier he made when he first tested his skills. It was a hard technique to manage, that in return made his Qi control climb higher.
He thought of adding additional layers that could block his heat-signature, smell, etc...
But left it as is for now.
Not everything was sunshine and rainbows though, Gong Jindo and his gang of bullies kept looking for him.
Not wanting to be bothered by it, he avoided them at every turn, it was too easy for him. He would have kept avoiding them if not for the fact that they started asking about where he lived and eventually trying to follow him back home.
That, is where he drew the line. At the seventh day of his official start at a new life in this new world, he didn't avoid them. Letting them block his way after finishing with his morning class.
He was with Soso, going through the bamboo field that connected to the training grounds.
' it's just like Canon, does fate have a part in this or something. ' Yuseong thought, amusement radiating from his face.
" I know that face, whenever you look like that, you cause some mischief. " Said Soso, backing away comically.
They were closer than he had anticipated. She already knew what he would do just from looking at his face.
Still friends of course, deep down. He knew that until Soso was strong enough to choose her own path, she won't give him a clear answer, so until than he can't ask her out.
" When did I ever do that, you're clearly slendering me just for the sake of it. " Yuseong said, no shred of shame present on his face.
" But you're half right, we're about to experience some trouble. Some rat and his cockroaches are blocking our way. " He said, turning to look at the front.
" Hmm? Senior Gong Jindo, what is the meaning of this? " When she looked forward, she saw gong Jindo and 10 other senior students following behind him.
When they circled Yuseong and Soso, Jindo finally said. " It doesn't concern you Soso, I just want to talk with this Junior of mine. "
" Talk you say? Didn't know that you need 11 people to talk to one. " Yuseong said, playing ignorant.
" Tsk, country bumpkin. Know your place. " After saying that, Jindo performed a surprise attack towards Yuseong.
" How dare yo-" Before Soso could go forward to block him, Yuseong put a hand on her shoulder and looked at her calmly.
She didn't notice it yet, but she was already stronger than Jindo.
