Life of Hitoshi Tanzen - 1
Tanzen's P.O.V -
"Whaah whaaah whaaaaah!" I cry loudly after being born and I quiet down after some time.
I heard my new parents talking about what they were going to name me and I was waiting to hear my new name.
"Let's name him Hitoshi Tanzen." said my mother, Aika, whose name I learnt through the [Name Bar] displaying above her head due to the passive effect of my [Observe] skill, to my father, Hitoshi Ren.
"That's a nice name, I like it." said my father with a happy look and after few minutes he left the room as to let his wife have some rest.
I like the name and all but being a baby once again feels too boring so I am going to use Timeskip no Jutsu to when I am three years old.
'Hey System, take me to the HUB but I want time to move in the real world and when I am in my other body, I want this body to have a baby-like mind until I come back to this body.' I said to the System in my mind.
[Yes, Host]
The next thing I saw was the ceiling of my room in the [HUB] world. I then got up and walked outside looking at the various buildings that surounded me while I thought about what I should do.
'I have three years until I go back, so what should I do until then?' I asked myself and then a particular building caught my eye as I was walking. I went into that building and a person with no face popped out of nowhere infront of me.
"Welcome to the Dojo, I am the Martial Arts Instructor of this place. What would you like to train in?" said the NPC as a list appeared in a screen interface.
[Dojo]
[Available Training Categories]
[1. Hand-to-Hand Combat Training]
[2. Weapons Combat Training]
[3. Energy Training]
"Can you give an explanation of each category?" I asked the System.
[1. Hand-to-Hand Combat Training]
In this training category, the Instructor will teach and train you in a martial art of your choice. This training category will help you learn techniques that can be used with the body.
[2. Weapons Combat Training]
In this training category, the Instructor will teach and train you in a weapon art of your choice. This training category will help you learn techniques that can be used with a weapon.
[3. Energy Training]
In this training category, the Instructor will teach and train you in a energy art of your choice. This training category will help you learn to have control over the chosen energy.
"Wow, I am impressed, especially with the third category. So if I am to understand this corectly, I can learn any kind of energy art like Chakra, Reiki, etc and get better at it ?" I questioned the System.
[Yes, Host. You are correct.]
"I choose the first option." I said to the Instructor. I chose the first option because I lacked a fighting technique that I can use without my weapon or my mana. After I chose the first option, another list appeared infront of me but now it was filled with several different martial arts. I went through them one by one and I learnt that some martial arts have a Energy requierment where you need to have a certain type of energy to learn that particular martial arts.
Soon, I found a martial art that I liked and it had the requierment of being at least 5x stronger than a average human to only start learning the bare basics of this martial arts.
"I want to learn [Renewal Taekwondo]." I stated to the Instructor. All of a sudden, I was standing within the Dojo with the Instructor a few feet away from me. Then a wave of memories on how to perform basic moves of this martial art came to my mind.
[Renewal Taekwondo - LVL 1 (0%)]
Able to perform basic techniques without any backlash.
Increases your physical ability by 2x.
The multiplier will increase every 5 LVLs by 2x.
Wow, this multiplier increase is crazy and this is just the basic techniques. So as I level up, I will be able to use advanced techniques and the multiplier will increase by two time every five levels. That means when this skill pseudo-maxes out at LVL 50, it will increase to 1024x and I would have unlocked all the moves from basic to advanced. After LVL 50, I would have to reach LVL 100 to unlock [Recoilless Renewal Taekwondo]. Because of [Gamer's Body] and [Gamer's Mind], I won't feel any discomfort in my body and fatigue in my mind, which means, I can use this martial art repetitively without suffering from any physical or mental backlash.
The Instructor then said "We will be learning through sparring until you stop. We will start the spar when you are ready." in the most NPC way.
I then activated the martial art and checked my stats.

Hmm.. great but I feel like there is something wrong and missing with the stats. Then I suddenly remembered what it was and I told the system. "Hey System, I forgot to add the Agility stat. Can you quickly add it with its point equal to the other stats and chane the Speed Demon perk to this stat and give an appropriate perk to the Vitality stat? And change the Level Up stat point reward to 8 stat points per level as well."
[Yes, Host]
[Changes Sucessfully Completed]
[You Have Reached 50 in AGI]
[You Have Gained A New Perk]
[Speed Demon - Allows user to travel at unbelievable speeds at the cost of 100 HP per minute. Can be improved with training.]

[Changing Level Up Stat Reward to 8 Stat Points Per Level]
[All Changes Completed Successfully]
Great, I don't have anything else to change I guess, now onto training.
"Let's begin training, Instructor." I said to the NPC.
Few Weeks Later -
Its been nearly a month and I have leveled up my new martial art, [Renewal Taekwondo], to LVL 10 (0%).
During the training, I disabled the feature where one can get stat point from training because I can easily increase my stats without it, so I turned it off so that I can keep a balanced stat build.
The sparring with the Instructor was awesome as it was my first time using a martial art practically against someone and it was great. I practiced with him non-stop without a break because I plan to unlock all moves within half a year by reaching LVL 50 and learn [Recoilless Renewal Taekwondo] before this year ends. I plan to max out my sword mastery within two months after learning my martial arts.
Five Months Later -
[Renewal Taekwondo - LVL 50 (0%)]
Able to perform all techniques without any backlash.
My non-stop training for six months paid off as I reached LVL 50 in this martial art and I continued to train after reaching this level because I was halfway there to my goal.
I recently recieved a notification saying that I had unlocked a two new training methods and I checked it.
[Dojo]
[Availabe Training Categories]
[1. Hand-to-Hand Combat Training]
[2. Weapons Combat Training]
[3. Energy Training]
[4. Body Training]
[5. Skill Mastery Training]
"Explain about the two new categories that I unlocked." I said to the System.
[4. Body Training]
In this training category, the Instructor will teach and train you in a Body martial art of your choice. This training category will help you learn techniques that can be used to temper the body.
[5. Skill Mastery Training]
In this training category, the Instructor will teach and train you in a Mastery type Skill of your choice. This training category will help you learn and master a Mastery type Skill.
Oh, so the first one helps me do body tempering and the second one helps me increase the mastery of a mastery type skill. The last one can help me increase my sword mastery easily without needing to learn a weapon art from [Weapon Training].I will use it after learning [Recoilless Renewal Taekwondo] and it will probably take me about six months to reach that level.
Six Months Later -
I checked with the baby version of myself and found out that my new parents became friends with the Sawada Family and I became a playmate with one of the most under-rated future badass protagnist of all time, Sawada Tsunayoshi or Tsunayoshi Sawada or Tsuna for short. He and my baby self became best friends? I guess. They played together all the time and were hard to seperate. They became brothers of sorts to each other and acted like it. I then stoped looking as when I go back after my three year time is up, I will recieve all memories of my baby self that was having fun.
Today was the day I finally completed training as I got what I wanted.
[Recoilless Renewal Taekwondo - LVL MAX]
Able to perform all Recoilless techniques without any backlash.
Increases your physical ability by 1048567x.
When using Recoilless techniques, your physical ability will be multiplied with the current multiplier (1048567 x 1048567 = 1,099,492,753,489x).
Damm, look at that multiplier, a bit more than One Trillion! So this is why this martial art is one of the strongest after it being corrected by the System.
I could probably create a Big Bang from just a punch or a kick if I use it in full power.
Now, I can start training my [Sword Mastery] skill. "Instructor, I would like to increase the mastery of my sword skills." I said to the Instructor in an excited way and I checked my sword mastery before I started.
[Sword Mastery – LVL 5 (0%)]
Allows user to freely handle swords
10% more damage when using swords.
Damage increases by 2% per LVL.
I then started training with a sword that popped out of thin air and sparred with the Instructor.
Two Months Later -
[Sword Mastery – LVL MAX]
Allows user to freely handle swords
100% more damage when using swords.
Increased chance of Critical Strikes.
Helps you learn Sword Techniques from a single demonstration.
This was the finished product of my [Sword Mastery] maxing out from the last two months of hard work.
I had finally mastered the sword and I next planned to temper my body to be absolutely strong and not be hurt by anything.
"I would like to train my body." I said to the NPC who has been training with me for more than a year now.
A screen appeared with a list of body tempering techniques and I saw the best technique on the top.
[Invincible Body Technique]
This body tempering technique makes its user to be invincible from anything that can hurt him.
When this technique is trained and mastered fully, nothing can hurt the user unless the user wants to.
This is also one of the hardest body tempering techniques to train due to its extreme and harsh conditions of training.
I chose this technique to train in so that I can be invincible as it would help even though I will be stronger than anyone esle without it. I started training after selecting it and I got a wave of memories that made me understand how it worked and HOLY COW! It was an extremely difficult. I needed to be hit with a force equal to my strongest recoilless move and that too constantly.
I sat down on the ground in a meditative postion and got ready to temper my body. Then a notification appeared from the System.
[How do you want to apply force on your body?]
"Keep increasing the force applied on my body till I adapt to it and don't increase it to where it starts to affect my HP. Keep on increasing the force as long as it does not affect my HP." I gave instructions to the System.
[Yes, Host]
Suddenly, I felt a force preasuring my body from all sides of it. It was like I was being crushed from gravity from all directions as I activated my body tempering technique. I was going to train this technique until I train and master this technique to the highest level.
Eight Months Later -
[Invincible Body Technique - LVL MAX]
This body tempering technique makes its user to be invincible from anything that can hurt him.
When this technique is trained and mastered fully, nothing can hurt the user unless the user wants to.
Invincibility - Off/On
The last eight months were such a pain, I felt like my body was going to be crushed to mush multiple times. After finishing my training, I toggled the Invincibility option off as I did not need it for the time being and even without that option toggled on, I felt like nothing could hurt me.
I still had a bit more than a year left, so I thought of mastering [Markmanship] for fun because was going to live in a world where there are a lot of hitmen and it would be fun to have a gun fight with them if they attack me.
After mastering that skill, I would like to try out [Energy Training] to train my mastery over my mana. I also want to train [Life Energy] that I have from the new perk that I got for my VIT.
[Life Energy Control - LVL 1(0%)]
The ability to control Life Energy that is generated by every living being constantly as a byproduct of Life Force.
As long as Life Force exists within someone, Life Energy is created within them constantly.
This ability allows the user to control and manipulate the Life Energy within themselves.
When mastered fully, the user can control their Life Energy and manipulate them to any form they want.
Whew, that is amazing and I am now definitely going to master it after I accomplish my previous goals.
"Let's learn [Markmanship] for now." I said as I selected that option in the screen and a gun appeared in my hand with some targets appearing infront of me.
Two Months Later -
Two months went by quickly as I trained my markmanship and I mastered it completely.
[Markmanship - LVL MAX]
You are able to hit your target with 100% accuracy with any weapon that is or can be considered a [Long-Range Weapon].
You are able to handle any [Long-Range Weapon] with ease.
I can use my new skill to attack with any kind long range weapon like Bows, Guns, Boomerangs?, etc.
I now have a year left before I return so I was going to train my [Mana Control] for the first six months and [Life Energy Control] for the last six months.
I selected [Mana Control] in the [Energy Training] option and a skill appeared.
[Mana Control - LVL 1 (0%)]
The ability to control Mana and manipulate it as per the user's will.
1% decrease in cost of any skill that requires Mana per level.
I then started practicing it to complete learning this as soon as possible.
Ten Months Later -
I completed mastering [Mana Control] in five months which was sooner than I expected.
[Mana Control - LVL MAX]
The ability to control Mana and manipulate it as per the user's will.
99% decrease in cost of any skill that requires Mana per level.
The user can create and use a complex spell using Mana with a single thought.
I also mastered [Life Energy Control] skill within five months as well.
[Life Energy Control - LVL MAX]
The ability to control Life Energy that is generated by every living being constantly as a byproduct of Life Force.
As long as Life Force exists within someone, Life Energy is created within them constantly.
This ability allows the user to control and manipulate the Life Energy within themselves.
The user can control their Life Energy and manipulate it to use them in any form they want.
These two skills were fantastic and I and I ended up with some time, so I thought I might as well learn a sword martial art that can go with my [Quick Draw] skill that I have in the remaining two months.
I looked through all the [Sword Art] available in the [Weapons Combat Training] option and I saw a sword style that I recognized. Though I hadn't seen the anime this sword style is from, I had heard multiple times that it was one of the strongest sword styles to exist and that it is also a versatile sword style as well. It utilized quick draws in its techniques so it perfectly fit in with my requirements as I selected this [Sword Art] and memories on how to use it appeared in my mind.
[Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū - LVL 1 (0%)]
Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū is an ancient kenjutsu style from the Sengoku Jidai, developed to allow a single samurai to defeat numerous foes single handedly.
Rooted to the concept of striking in a single blow, practitioners of this style use a combination of immense speed and agility, battōjutsu, ki, and acquired, observation-based pseudo-clairvoyance that permits a practitioner to anticipate an opponent's movements.
Both offensive and defensive maneuvers are executed with minimal movement to increase a practitioner's ability to counter-attack and to conserve energy.
I could tell that this skill was strong, as a normal human can't even bring out its full strength due to physical limitations and, luckily, I did not have any of these limitations due to the [Gamer's Body].
I planed to master this [Sword Art] within two months and I started sparring with the Instructor.
Two Months Later -
I maxed out [Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū] along with my [Quick Draw] skill that leveled up as I trained in the [Sword Art].
[Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū - LVL MAX]
Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū is an ancient kenjutsu style from the Sengoku Jidai, developed to allow a single samurai to defeat numerous foes single handedly.
Rooted to the concept of striking in a single blow, practitioners of this style use a combination of immense speed and agility, battōjutsu, ki, and acquired, observation-based pseudo-clairvoyance that permits a practitioner to anticipate an opponent's movements.
Both offensive and defensive maneuvers are executed with minimal movement to increase a practitioner's ability to counter-attack and to conserve energy.
You are now able to use this sword style and all its techni to the fullest.
Shinsoku/Godspeed: Allows the user to accelerate, maneuver, and strike at speeds most eyes are unable to properly is unlocked when a certain level of mastery is reached.
Ki: Allows the practitioner to dynamically flow in turn with their opponent's own energy and use their own pace against them. You will be able to recognize movement, as well as to react in kind with their opponent's emotional disposition to efficiently fend them off accurately.
[Quick Draw - LVL MAX]
Due to constant One-Hit Kills through a single sword strike, you have gained the ability to quickly draw your sword and strike at your opponent's weak points easily.
Even if they block your attack, they have a 100% chance to be stunned or to take damage.
I was finally done with my three year training camp and looking at all the skills I had mastered made me feel happy as I worked hard, training rigorously to achive something even though it was made easy by the system.
I still had a few days before I have to return so I looked through my skills to see of there is anything that needs to trained. I found out that all of my skills were maxed out except one skill and I wanted to level it up to max just so it would look neat. I trained [Mana Blast] to the max level within a few days, which was easy due to my maxed out [Mana Control].
I then went to the shop and bought [Shape-Shifting Katana (EX)] x 1 and [Shape-Shifting Gun (EX)] x 2 for 300 Shop Points.
I then took a last look to my stats before leaving.
To be continued...
Hey guys, sorry about the multiple short timeskips. In this chapter, the MC trained and there won't be any skill grinding for the time being.
For the MC's Martial Art I chose Renewal Taekwondo because it is one of the awesome martial arts to exist and I wanted my MC to learn it but after doing the multiplier calculations for the max level skill, the skill became way too broken and if I do think about it, it might actually be true because Jin Mori is someone who could possibly be that strong in his universe. The multiplier is 1 million x 1 trillion x physical stats.
As for the Sword Art, I was seaeching for different sword styles and was looking for a style that use Iaijutsu or Iaido. I had a style in mind if I didn't find anything as that style isn't too strong according to me. I eventually found Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū which matched woth the type of style I wanted and made the MC learn it.
After that only did I realize that I made my MC learn a Sword Art that was the equivalent of Renewal Taekwondo in its own universe.
In the next chapter, the MC's Stat Sheet will be shown as I did not want this chapter to exceed 5k words and the MC will live his childhood and the third part of the MC's story will end where the 2nd MC's story ended.
I am still not sure about the plot but I have a vague idea for it but there will a lot of changes and since this is an AU it does not matter much. I will try to keep it close to the story as much as possible and bring some development to it.
I do plan on writing chapters for every episodes but as it goes on the story will change little by little so I have no idea how it will end up but I will do chapters for all episodes within the the battle for the rings season.
I don't have much to say as I don't know what to say, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
If you find any mistakes, please do let me know so that I can fix it.
Thanks Guys.
