Skill Added!
[Love Breathing] - Level 1 -
Love Breathing is a Breathing Style from the world of [Demon Slayer], and as the name suggests, is based off of the emotion of love, it helps if you visualise this love when you use Love Breathing ! This Breathing form focuses on a person's Flexibility, Agility and Speed. As you need a special muscle density to use this form effectively.
Increases AGI and STR by 10%
Increases STR and AGI by 3 per level.
Cost: 500 SP/m
A breathing style–? This is- no, 500 stamina? That's insane! It would only last me a minute!
I need to increase my VIT, if I use all 500 of my SP in one go, I'll be knocked unconscious! Right now the skill doesn't even look that powerful, but I'm sure it increases drastically...I hope.
Fuck, and here I was hoping to stack up on stat points. Eh, but then again, I'll hopefully be getting lots of levels to compensate for this.
Glancing at my Stat Sheet, though, I had to wonder.
Do Quirks use Stamina or Mana to run? Considering I'm a Gamer I'd hope-
[Your Quirk- and eventual Quirks- rely on your Stamina to run effectively.]
Shit. Alright, so I can't use Love Breathing and Telekinesis at the same time. If I could even use the damned Quirk in the first place.
Okay. Okay. Well first off...
VIT: 10 - 15
HP: 500 - 750 HPR: 1/m - 10/m
SP: 500 - 750 SPR: 1/m - 10/m
Of course my gains in Vitality aren't nearly as strong as my Magical gains, but that's expected, honestly. I don't regret having [Touch of Mana] though.
As long as I'm smarter, wiser in the future, my Magical prowess will grow, and I'll definitely use it on Inko the next time I see her-
But for now? I need to-
Hold on, I have Ultra Instinct don't I? I wonder just how much that costs-
[Ultra Instinct] - Level 1/100 -
Ultra Instinct is the ultimate technique, a form of martial arts that not even Gods can master. Separating the consciousness from the body, you will be able to fight without the influence of thoughts or emotions, making it so you can dodge pretty much all attacks. You will be unable to be caught off guard.
But be warned, for the untrained, Ultra Instinct can be as much of a curse than it is a blessing...
Ultra Instinct available: [Omen]
Increases AGI, VIT and SEN by 1000%
Cost: 100,000 SP/m
WARNING; Prolonged use without mastery can can severe pain!
Ah- uh- okay, um- what the fuck?
If I get only 2 VIT, and 4 SP per level, that's 210 VIT by the time I max out Eromancer, times that by and...
Fuck, times by 50...it's like, only 10,000! At least! I'd need that atleast 1,000 VIT to even begin training this skill!
[Well...it is a technique only Gods and Angels can use for a reason.]
[Oh, and +1 WIS for doing quick multiplication!]
...You think you're funny, don't you?
Fine, I guess I'm going in, let's just hope my Magic can take out most of them.
Knew I should've become an Elementalist, I'm picking Geomancer next time we do this class shit!
[Earth Magic? Seriously? That's literally the weak–]
Toph Beifong. 'nough said.
Okay, seriously now. Taking a deep breath, I would pause for a moment before shouting out into the sky.
"[I.D CREATE: VULPIMANCER HUNT!]"
With my fist in the air, something was pulled from my gut, from the deepest part of my core, from my very soul, it moved slowly, but then suddenly it sped up.
Like it was light speed, it jumped out of my hand, cracking reality around me like it was glass. Everything around me looked broken, like any second it would just-
*SHATTERRR!*
Suddenly I was in another world, another dimension, perhaps another universe entirely.
The nice, lush trees around me were replaced with a forest thousands of feet tall, the flora and plants around me were sharp, cannibalistic, I could see teeth in some of them already.
It was...really scary. I needed to get away, I needed a safe space, my heart felt heavy, I needed to- MOVE!
Jumping out of the way as I saw something speed towards me, an orange beast, unfortunately I wasn't fast enough, I was scraped.
-50 HP taken!
A bit of blood trailed down my cheek, and my eyes widened. Fuck. Fuck fuck FUCK!
"BARK! GRR! BARK!"
The Vulpimancer infront of me was actually shorter than me by just a bit, with bright orange fur- no, those were...quills. Yeah, they were quills. But they didn't seem to be that developed just yet.
So he can't throw them at me, that's good.
+1 WIS for deductive reasoning.
+1 INT for using scraps of knowledge you knew from your past life.
Not the time or place, System!
So it's a child Vulpimancer. Frowning, I let out an uneasy growl of my own.
"G-grr..."
It sounded pathetic, but when I saw the Alien dog shudder, I couldn't help the grin that formed on my face.
Haha, I actually managed to scare–
...It's laughing at me.
+1 WIS for understanding–
"Shut up!"
I shouted as I saw the Vulpimancer suddenly lower, stalking towards me as it licked it's lips.
...Oh shit.
Channelling my Magic to my feet, I took a step backwards in fear before turning on my heel, and running as fast as I could to the closest tree I could spot. I wasn't confident with thus. I was scared.
But I ran to it anyway, hoping, praying that my Mana responded to my will.
And so I ran into the bark.
Or- I didn't run straight into it, nor did I run through the tree either.
Through special use of your mana, the skill [Wall Climbing] has been gained!
Because you used knowledge of a technique from your previous life...+4 INT!
Because you tactically applied knowledge from your previous life in a stressful situation...+3 WIS!
Through being able to use your Mana in a unique way...the skill [Mana Control] has been gained.
For figuring out how to control your Mana without any guidance from a teacher...+4 WIS
I ran...on the tree, running vertically up the dense bark. Only, it seemed like I wasn't the only one able to climb trees either.
"BARK! BARK!"
Shit, he's just as fast on land as he is on trees. Closing my eyes for just a second, I tried to think of something anything, I needed to THINK-
Or maybe...thinking wasn't the answer. Now, I know I'm not going to be able to use Ultra Instinct, if I did I'd die instantly, however, that doesn't mean I can't use the teachings behind it.
Because what was Ultra Instinct if not a thought technique, a form of Martial Arts.
And to have a skill, I need to know how to use it, otherwise I wouldn't have it in the first place, even if it came to me through Gacha, or from a Perk...I know the teachings, the very very basics.
So as I was running, I started to slow down, my feet began to slide instead of running, and soon...
I was falling. Fast.
Wind slashed against me, as if it was trying to cut me open like a butcher would a pig.
I moved mid-air into a nose dive, and I was rapidly approaching the shocked Vulpimancer cub.
And just as I was about to fall right past him, my arms shout out, and grabbed, gripped tightly around the fur of his neck, I activated [Wall Climbing] to force him to stay, and suddenly, I was dragging him down with me.
"Hah...hah..."
For some reason, this was actually quite exciting! And so with my- admittedly VERY weak strength- I threw the Vulpimancer forward, so he was falling infront of me.
There was still some distance between me and the ground, so I somehow managed to move my body while still airborne, though it took far too much time for me to actually like.
For being able to move in mid-air...+1 AGI!
But now my feet were falling first, like I was standing in the sky. But falling like a bullet.
"BAARK! BARK! GRRR! AWOO~!"
The Vulpimancer cried out, howling in fear, but I didn't care, the ground was approaching. Faster, faster, Faster!
My eyes glowed for just a second, leaving behind a trail before I channelled as much Mana as I could into my legs, reinforcing them, making them stronger, and then, like a nuke impacting the ground-
Ping!
For a second, nothing happened. It was as if reality lagged, but then...
*BOOOOOM!*
A small crater formed beneath the Vulpimancer and me, there was a small, temporary hurricane that howled around us with the screams of many more of my enemies race, before it exploded outwards.
The branches on trees waved spasticity, the leaves around flew off into the sky. Even the ground rippled slightly, though that was because of the crash, and not the hurricane.
I stood still for a second, crouched down on the corpse beneath me, my eyes downcast as I stared at the alien.
The orange dog-thing slowly turned into golden particles, flying off into the wind, disappearing. And when it did...I closed my eyes for a second.
And then I lifted my fist into the air, reminiscent of a hulking man with blonde hair.
I smiled as I felt power flow through me. And then I laughed.
"Hahaha!"

Quest Created!
[Apex Predator]

Rewards:
- 10,000 XP!
- 2 Gacha Coins!
- Love Crystal (Small) x2!
Accept?
[Y/n]
WARNING! ONCE QUEST IS ACCEPTED, YOU CANNOT ESCAPE UNTIL YOU COMPLETE QUEST.
I thought about it for a moment, and I mean I really thought, but with an increase to my Vitality thanks to the Eromancer class, and the stat points I can just plonk into a stat...
Maybe I could try out [Love Breathing] I have no weapon, and I know the breathing style are originally meant to have some sort of ranged method of attack.
But that's the only way you can use Breathing, if I wanted to I could just use my body, my legs, my fists. Yeah!
I mean, I could keep it up for one minute, another minute would drop my Stamina all the way down to 0, but just one minute would only drop it to 500. And that's perfectly fine with me!
But...I have to ask something, does the dungeon have any time dilation added to it?
[At Level One? No. In a few levels time you will probably get a 2:1 time ratio in here. But as you are now? No.]
Well to be fair, I doubt I'm gonna be in here for long. My regeneration works on a minute scale instead of hours, it's not seconds, but that would be a bit too OP.
Considering you don't think my regen now is OP. Which it is.
5 minutes to heal 100 SP/HP, so that's 25 minutes to heal 500. So if I'm right, and I am.
Then 1 Minute of Love Breathing means 25 minutes rest.
Sigh...
Heh, then it's a good thing I'm not just using Love Breathing.
What I want to know, is this [Human Torpedo, it sounds awesome! And probably something someone like Bakugo would have.
Title: [Human Torpedo]
You use your speed to your advantage in a fight, using your movement speed to increase force tenfold! Just like a Human Torpedo...
All attacks involving using speed do 10% more damage!
Huh, that's not that bad, actually. The stronger I get, the stronger my attacks get too.
Plus, if we're talking technicalities, everything involves speed in one way or another, so...
Haha! I'm just practically 10% stronger right now, that's awesome!
And before I forget, I need to use my stat points. Now I know, I know, I'm supposed to 'save them' or whatever, but honestly?
I'm going to need them, badly.
So, uh...I have 25 right now.
So I'll dump 10 into AGI, 10 into STR and...5 into SEN. My magic is covered, and while I gained an Agility point earlier, I'll need a lot more to conquer this dungeon.
STR: 10 - 20
AGI: 11 - 21
SEN: 10 - 15
Energy. I felt energy rush through every single cell in my body. I felt powerful, far more stronger than I ever had before!
I felt like I could lift a massive rock! I felt like I could run twice as fast as I could before. It's insane!
I grinned, and cracked my neck, let's do this.
"AWOOO~!"
"AWOOO~!"
"AWOOO~!"
From 3 completely separate directions, 3 loud howls echoed through the forest, and I frowned a little.
Could I take on 3 Vulpimancers at once? Just a minute ago I was struggling against just one-
No, I'm better than I was a minute ago. Faster, stronger, wiser.
I let out a breath, and closed my eyes...before I jumped high into the air, leaving a small gust of wind mixed with ethereal blue in my wake.
"Gr...BARK!"
A pale yellow Vulpimancer appeared first, looking around, sniffing, going into the crater that I'd made a minute ago.
"Grrr...RUFF!"
It barked out, slamming it's feet into the centre of the crater, right where the Vulpimancer I killed was.
For some reason, it didn't notice me, it's head was just low down, almost as if it was...sad? No, that can't be right.
Taking a calming breath, but also one with purpose, I whispered to myself.
'[Love Breathing: First Form; Betrothed Hand of Heaven!]'
With my breath empowering me, the power of Love surged through my body, I felt powerful, oh so incredibly powerful.
It was then that I used a supercharged [Mana Jump] to bullet towards the weeping alien dog.
-200 MP.
'[MANA REINFORCEMENT]!'
-200 MP.
And then, like my hand was a blade in the wind, a loud whirling noise came from it, as it lagged behind the rest of my body.
But it didn't take long for my supercharged jump to take to me my destination, and in the air still, my palm slashed down like a sharp blade over the Vulpimancer's neck.
It barely had the reaction time to look up at me before it's head dropped to the floor
INSTANT KILL!
500 XP!
Level Up! x1
"Hah...hah..."
I panted over the Vulpimancers body, watching as it, just like the last one, disappeared into nothing but particles, swept away in the wind.
That Love Breathing...fuck. It's strong, but...very taxing.
But if I can get a little experience in with it, maybe I can reduce the cost, make it stronger.
Another level, though? I...guess I can put it into Ag-
*ROARRRR!*
I whipped around only to see- teeth, blade-like teeth. Saliva dripping down from it's mouth.
I was trapped, the Vulpimancer was right infront of me, but it was different from the other ones I fought, it was stronger, faster...older.
This was an adult Vulpimancer.
I was going to die.
I saw it coming, but I didn't have anything to fight against it with. Death was infront of me.
It was...quiet. The world around me seemed to pause.
There was no whistling, no beat, no melody.
I was...in shock, I wasn't supposed to die like this. Not to an ambush, how did they even–?!
They planned it...they planned all of this! They sacrificed their own to kill me.
No...no!
Why would they do something like that, these aliens are savages...I didn't think they were monsters too.
But then again, I suppose that makes me like them too, right? These guys are sapient, sentient, and I killed them too...
I saw that other Vulpimancer cry over the one I killed. These ones are just hungry.
I wasn't mad that they were killing me, I was mad that they sacrificed one of their own to try and get me.
I wouldn't do that...would I?
I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
I know I'm selfish, I know that I'm going to be an asshole, a player, a killer...
But I would not sacrifice anybody...other than myself!
*FWOOOSHHHH*
Something...powerful snapped in my mind, and for an instant, I felt like a God, no...I felt like God.
With just a thought, the Vulpimancer infront of me was sent flying back, through countless trees. Miles infront of me.
Reality rippled around me like boiling air. And I stood up straight, a grin on my face.
Vulpimancer killed x2!
1,000 XP gained!
Level up! x1
Quirk: [Telekinesis] has awakened!
Quirk: [Telekinesis] has leveled up x4!
SP has dropped to 0!
WARNING! WARNING!
I suddenly felt my body jolt in pain, and i cursed, blood vomiting out of my mouth as I fell onto one knee.
No, no..I could still-
"GAH! Hah...hah...I can still- I CAN STILL FIGHT-!"
I shouted to the heavens, I casted out my declaration of war...
Only for me to fall face first onto the ground, and suddenly it felt like a good time to sleep.
The worst thing about being a few chapters ahead is that I see a few times where it feels like Sei deserves a Stat point, and I have to change the stat sheet, it's quite annoying really.
Anyway, I hope you liked the chapter, I wanted to make it seem like Sei was smart in his battle tactics, because I like smart fights, especially against dumb/savage opponents.
Anyway! QUESTION OF THE DAY; I don't know if I want do this for certain, but through a Gacha pull or reputation, should Seiteki's race change, what do you think his new race would be? Go wild with this one! From half...incubus to Demigod, I really want to know!
