Epic of the Broken Immortal Greater
Matthew awoke at the same time as usual, still feeling like he had been kicked by a horse. It was a feeling like having gravel in your bones. He could swear that he could hear his bones changing. He continued his routine any way with his perception training. He had reached the wall that was the twenty foot mark and now all he had to do was to continue to solidify that position. Try as he might he couldn't solidify it during this session. He had reached a secondary block at the eighteen feet mark. Not knowing how to fix this, he instead began to work on the enhanced memory technique for a bit then head off to school. "Alright class, I have important matters to attend to today so we will be doing another day of self study. Are there any questions before I leave?" Mr. Falls asked "Sir, my perception skill has reached a block of sorts at the eighteen feet mark and I'm uncertain how to over come it. Is there a method that you recommend?" Matthew asked before his
Epic of the Broken Immortal Enhanced Reading
Since the school week was finished, Matthew dedicated himself to completing as much training as possible. The next skill that he needed to work on was enhanced reading. Like the other techniques, it was basically refining his eyes this time. The technique required him to gather mana into his eyes and refine them to basically become jewels. They would be come more durable and would be resistant to damage. This was just an added bonus to what the technique really did. In simple terms, his eyes would become like a camera, recording everything he sees and transmitting it to his mind where it would be stored. Now that he understood how the technique works, he got started. It would be fairly simple to complete this technique as the area that he had to refine was small. Gathering mana to his eyes and gradually increasing the concentration, he started out like he had with his brain since the technique suited him. The same needle point sized mana sphere took shape and
Epic of the Broken Immortal Anatomy of Mana
Matthew wanted to start with the second book he had received in class. The Anatomy of Mana was far more important to his situation since his body was changing in ways that were outside the norm. The first chapter read as an introduction of mana to the body. The changes that it brought to the body as the levels increased. The body would gradually improve as more mana was introduced and would even slow the effect of aging. This part of the book wasn't particularly interesting since this was knowledge he already knew in a sense. He was actively reshaping his body instead of the passive change that would happen when gathering mana into a mana core. The second chapter dealt entirely with the mana core. It detailed how the core could change, grow, and be damaged. There was even a section on cracked cores that detail how to heal one provided that it was already filled with mana and of a larger size. If I core be came damaged, a person could use a technique to condense th
Epic of the Broken Immortal Pushing Forward
With his reading finished, Matthew wanted to get back to his training. Starting with the perception training again, he now had to push and solidify his range to the fifty foot mark. This was a tall task as currently he was still sitting at the twenty-three foot mark. Getting to work, he began to push outwards with his mana sense. Little by little he was making progress and would eventually complete the greater grade and be able to elevate his perception to a true mana sense. Upgrading his skill to mana sense would be as far as he would be able to reach since he didn't have mana in his core to continue to refine it, but that was fine. The book left by his granddad only stated that he had to reach that level. After that, there was another skill that he needed to learn, but he hadn't reached that point yet so there wasn't much point in worrying about it yet. He was able to reach the thirty foot mark without much hinderance, but once he reached that point he couldn't
Epic of the Broken Immortal Second Bone Refining
Morning came and it was time to get back to work. His bones didn't hurt today so he knew that the first step of refining his bones was now complete. This meant that his bones were now separated into two layers, the inner layer being refined to be harder than granite and the outer layer still being just regular bone. The refining process was still on going, but he would still have to actively work to continue his current progress. Today he decided to change it up a bit and did physical exercises first. He knew that he wouldn't be able to move around much once he finished the second round. With the exercises finished, he went out for a jog. This time around, he was able to make two full laps around the property before being too tired to run anymore. Making his way back inside and eating breakfast, he rested a bit before heading back to his room to start. Mentally preparing himself, he got to work. Gathering additional mana to the now thread sized stream of mana th
Epic of the Broken Immortal Hunter's Union
Since the arrival of mana, the majority of human cities had been destroyed and it had taken almost a hundred years to rebuild to the current point. Cities were more simple now compared to humanities peak. The current building style was similar to the Middle Ages since most modern technology didn't work anymore. Some things had been adapted through time, but over all most things like vehicles and the internet were a thing of the past. The mana net had only just recently become a thing, which had allowed the production of communication and storage devices. These devices remained fairly expensive though due to materials still being hard to come across due to mutated fauna around city areas. The town had a many different kinds of shops with everything from weapons to the newly emerged tech devices. While walking down the street, Matthew finally came across the store that he was searching for. The sign simply read solutions since it wasn't a mainstream shop owned by a unio
Epic of the Broken Immortal Maxamillion
Matthew proceeded up the stairs and knocked on the doors which was followed by a simple "Come in." The office was simple in design, but that didn't mean that the items were of low quality. The man behind the desk was a bit stocky with a head full of blonde hair with a touch of grey in his similarly blonde beard. He had an intense stare as Matthew came to stand at his desk. "How is your father doing?" the man asked after a long awkward silence "He is doing well, and he is off on business in another city currently." Matthew said a bit confused. Another long pause ensued as the man reviewed some paperwork that he eventually passed over to Matthew. "These forms are for your enrollment into the union. They also detail the communication device that you will be given in the event of an emergency. Your hunter grade will start out at will be copper. Complete
Epic of the Broken Immortal A New Regimen
Returning home with the sword on his back, Matthew felt tired due to the fact that the sword, of unknown make, was actually fairly heavy despite its size. Placing the sword down he got out the old book and began to skim through it. He had remembered seeing a training method for getting use to a sword and some training forms that would help with this. The forms he came across mentioned that a sword's weight should match its use. A slashing sword should be slightly on the heavy side while a piercing sword should be light and even gave some brief depictions of said swords. The sword that Matthew had received was in fact designed like a piercing sword in the fact that it had a nice narrow point, but its weight and dual edges clearly were meant for slashing. The weight was another confusing factor since it was too heavy to be either. That was until he turned to the next page and found a section on what was called a ruler sword.&nbs

The spark's light did not waver from dim to bright like was usually described in books. It held a constant soft glow like a star in the night sky. The next thing that happened was that he began to notice small tendrils of mana that were spreading outward from his mana core to the rest of his body. He realized fairly quickly that they were spreading out to incorpor

A light in the darkness
The fourth day in the training room came as Matthew continued to focus his mana to the center of the spiral in his mana core. By this time, the spiral was half the size it was originally, and mana it was made of was thick and slow moving. He had begun to sweat from the intense struggle he was having by forcing his mana to condense. Slowly, his mana was condensing to become like thick clouds instead of thin and wispy like fog. This was the prerequisite to ignite his spark, as the mana had to be dense enough to sustain it long enough to stay lit. Once the spark came into existence, it would have to be continuously supplied with mana so that it wouldn't go out. It wasn't until the level of mage that it would stay lit without a constant supply of mana. If the spark went out, he would have to start over from scratch.Slowly, the spiral began to stagnate its movement under its own weight. For a long moment, nothing happened. Just when it seeme

The stage is set
Matthew was drawing large currents of mana into his core to saturate it to the point of there not being anymore space inside it. It didn't take him long due to the amount of mana that he already had stored. If someone looked inside his core at the moment, what they would find was a swirling mass of purple mana that looked vaguely like a small hurricane. The next step he had to take was to push the walls of his mana core to the point that it expanded to the normal grade. This was the hardest part as his reinforced core was very sturdy and might develop cracks if he expanded it too fast. Cracking his core at this point would take him days to fix even with his enhanced recovery and the amount of mana he would have to use to do so would equal the amount he needed to expand his core by several fold. It took him a little over a full day in the training room to reach the threshold of the normal grade core. All he need was a small push with a little more mana that he had to

Something Wicked
A ways away from the town, in a desolate part of the wilderness that featured no life, something stirred. It was a large humanoid creature with random pieces of armor attached to it. This creature was once human that had died and become one of the monsters that it once sought to destroy. The undead were not that uncommon in the world since the vast number of humans that hadn't been able to adapt to mana had died. Some became unholy creatures of the dark even to include vampires. Generally speaking, vampires and the werefolk were much more rare than the standard undead and usually want to live in peace versus seeking out humans to devour. This particular undead was on the move and was headed in a particular direction. It was a peak pawn grade existence that was only a step away from the knight grade. If it advanced, it would become an unstoppable force of nature for most. Soon, it would reach its destination and wreak havoc. * * * Matthew stood

Refining Again
Matthew decided to start his training anew with refining again. Since it was the weekend, he would be able to do this and take on a few missions to restore his funds that he had spent. He didn't want to work on mana skills just yet seeing as his core was still stabilizing. Starting from scratch, he focused his own mana to his marrow. His mana was now entirely converted with the gravity affinity, making it feel heavy inside his bones. His mana spread out and joined the mana already present causing it to be converted as well. He felt virtually no pain this time as his marrow was already quite tough and resistant to pain. He went a full hour before he had depleted the mana in his core. He could already feel the difference as he felt that he was slightly sluggish due to the increased weight of his marrow. Now that he was finished, he made sure to gather and convert some more mana. The difference was however that his mana value had increased since

Prize
The finals had concluded and Matthew was ready to head home. However, he wouldn't get his wish right away as it was time for the prize ceremony. Third place received a medal and two days in a meditation chamber. These chambers allowed someone to advance rapidly since they enhanced the strength of a mana core and the absorption rate of mana would be increased due to the concentration of mana. Second place received a medal, four days in a meditation chamber, and personal training from the head instructor. This was rather good since the head instructor was at the peak of the mage level and could give many pointers. Matthew received the first place medal, a week in the meditation chamber, personal training from the head instructor, and a manual of his choosing. If he had known this he would have waited to buy the gravity manual. At least he could aquire more advance mana techniques that would allow him to rapidly increase his strength and make him more ver

Overwhelming
Matthew arrived at school where his class quickly made their way to the arena. They quickly found their seats and awaited the announcement that would detail the last matches of the tournament. It didn't take long for the arena to fill up and the announcer to make his way to the center of the stage. "There has been a change in the line up of the final matches. There will now be one match where it will be three against one. The three contenders will have to remove a red waist band from their opponent to claim victory. On the other hand, if all three of them are knocked from the ring or otherwise subdued, the main contender will be the victor. Are there any objections?" The announcer said The audience was silent as no one had an objection to this change. They all turned to stare at Matthew since he was sitting in the front row. Most hadn't seen his match, but the ones that had didn't believe the other three would come out victorious still.

Push
Matthew spent the next few days before he would have to attend the finals for his classes working on his affinity. He couldn't hold anymore mana in his core at the moment and it wasn't strong enough to be enlarged yet. The book he had purchased was very vague to say the least when it came to the skills he could learn for the gravity affinity. The majority of the book was just the theory of application and not the actual use of gravity. This meant that he was basically on his own. The first thing he would have to do is convert his mana which was fairly simple. He started like he always did with a pin sized dot. This dot would draw in his mana and covert it naturally now that it was stable. As long as he had mana in his core, it would be converted and kept separate from the rest of his mana and show up on his Stat page by itself. The skill he was currently working on was called Push. The theory behind the skill was to direct his converted mana out of his body a

Affinity
When his mana core was finally healed, he felt a strange connection to the Earth. It was like he was being drawn to its core and was extremely heavy. This was the beginning of his awakening to an affinity. Every person had a different experience and they all had to train their affinity differently even if it was the same one as others. *Ding* *System updated* *Affinity - Gravity* He had gained an amazing affinity to the very workings of the world itself. Very few were blessed in such a way and he felt grateful for the book his grandad had left that gave him this opportunity. 'Now I'll need skills that will allow me to use this affinity in the proper way. Should I think about purchasing them or should I develop some to suit my needs.' Matthew thought to himself Skills could be learned or developed depending on the circumstances. Just like the roar skill he had learned, other skills could be learned naturally while applying one's self
