Nathan clenched his fist in rage. His back was against the wall and the lives of many people were at stake. He hated to admit it but he only had one option if he wished to save not only the civilians but Andrew as well. If nothing was done then they would all be crushed by the crumbling building. He then took a deep breath and closed his eyes as he made a painful decision."Death, lend me your power!" Shouted Nathan. "I'll accept another letter! Just lend me at least 5%!"Death was very pleased to hear this. Nathan could sense the sinister smile he made from within his graveyard."Very well!" Answered Death from within his mind.Just then, a vast amount of Death Energy engulfed Nathan's body. Black lightning sparked and thunder boomed. The air around him became filled with the presence of death. Soon after, his right eye burnt with cold black flames and a darkened wing emerged from his back. His transformation was complete. Following this, a

Arc 2: RevivalNathan found himself watching his life like a movie. His memories played one by one like an old cassette to its player. From the time he was a baby being held in his mother's gentle arms, to the times when he met Sindy and Andrew. The happiest moments of his life played out peacefully, filling him with a strong sense of nostalgia. Nathan wished for the feeling to last forever. He wanted the sweet moments of bliss to stick to him like glue. Sadly, that all changed as soon as the memories of his father, James Styles, entered his conscience.He was the man who had abused his family for countless years. This was the hidden part of Nathan's past that he had never shared with anyone apart from Sindy. The belt, the whips, the stones, the hammers, and the knife threats all poured into his mind. They corrupted his peaceful memories like a deadly poison and like a flood, they drowned his thoughts;"Nathan, you should know better than to disobey your father," said James in a calm

Nathan's eyes slowly opened to a light-brown oak wood ceiling. The scent of garlic rice, hot peppers, and baked chicken stabbed him in his nostrils. His stomach growled and his body felt a bit weak. He then slowly sat up only to realize he was on a small bed in a dimly lit wooded building."Where am I?" He groaned.Nathan couldn't recall what had happened to him. It was as if parts of his life were missing from his memories. He had a mild headache and his thoughts were fuzzy. He remembered basic information like his name and how he had gotten to the Mind World but that was all.Carefully, he then slid from the bed onto his feet. The floor was cold and smooth underneath his bare feet. However, he had some difficulty keeping his balance almost as if he had never learned to walk."You're awake!" Suddenly squealed a sweet voice.Nathan then fixed his gaze to get a clear image of the person before him. It was a girl that looked around 16 years. She had lush orange-brownish hair and curious

Nathan strolled through the small village of Youkatai Mountain as he headed towards Master Rikugan's home. As he walked, he observed the unique aesthetics of the area around him. Most of the terrain was slightly uneven and the buildings had an ancient design. The air was also quite cool as one would expect at the top of a mountain. Birds could be heard chirping all around which mixed in with the heavy chatter of nearby residents. It was relatively peaceful."So, Nathy!" Began Ava who was leading him to Master Rikugan's home. "You said you remember basic information about yourself, right? Do you mind telling me when you were born?""Sure, it's the 1st of July."Ava's eyes sparkled to life, "Wow, what a coincidence! I was born on the 2nd of July! That's just one day after you! And that also means we're both Cancers!""Oh, you're right... That is a coincidence.""I know right..? I'm starting to think what grandpa said is true. Maybe the gods sent you here for a reason.""Yeah... I think

Nathan meditated in the shrine garden alongside Rikugan. Rikugan had found out that Nathan was a Triple Art User and was now providing him with the necessary training to properly control his Spirit Energies. However, he was struggling to maintain his concentration. His eyes twitched and his mind drifted to random thoughts."Nathan, you must remain concentrated if you hope to master your Spirit Energy!" Reprimanded Rikugan."It's hard! Like, come on! We've been doing this for weeks now... I need physical training! This mental stuff isn't for me!"Rikugan sighed as he picked himself up."You'll be able to do as much physical training as you want once you learn how to control your Spirit Energies.""Ugh! It's not like I need to use my Death Energy anyway! I've already attained near mastery over my Lightning and Wind Energies! They're all I need...""Near mastery, you say? Let's make a deal then."Nathan quickly rose to his feet as soon as he heard this. "A deal?""Yes. There's a sword o
