Fate's Eternal Foe Enemy of Fate.
A few minutes ago...Derrick floated on the sea listless. His eyes were blank and devoid of reason as he floated there like a dead body.The water rose and fell and carried Derrick along with its movements. Small waves clashed and a drop of water splashed on his face. His eyes slowly regained clarity.Right now he could no longer remember anything.He looked up at the sky and wondered what it was. He watched the swaying sea and was perplexed at it. He could no longer remember who he was.He closed his eyes and continued moving with the water.Why think so much?Wasn't it just better to stay like this forever?BAM! His eyelids shot open.His eyes became red and fat drops of tears started rolling down his face. Derrick could not remember anything, but he knew he shouldn't be here. Something bad was happening and if he let it continue he would forever lose something dear to him.He racked his brain but it was useless. His mind was blank! He could vaguely feel that he was forgetting

"Hey!"."Hey! Wake up!""Wake up! Dammit!".A sharp kick landed on Derrick's waist and forced his eyes open. The bright sun shone on his face and he squinted. He took a look at his assailant.It was a woman, short and rounded with a cute face, her hair was plaited backward and she wore an apron around a tight-fitted gown. Her nostrils widened in anger and her eyes had a slight look of disgust as she glared at him. She held a long broom and pointed it towards him while shaking it as if to chase him away.Derrick took an unsteady step and stood up.He looked around him.He was under a small caravan and around it were others like it. Small tables were scattered everywhere beside these caravans.This was a market." It seems I slept in this lady's store". He thought.Derrick understood why she wanted him to leave, but he did not get why there was a trace of disgust in her tone as she spoke.He then took a look at his clothes."Oh, that's why". He still wore his torn and dirty clothes fr
Fate's Eternal Foe Training Center.
Derrick took the remote from the couch and switched on the flat-screen TV that hung on the wall. It was kept there by his mother, so the children could not mess it up. The first channel was a news broadcast. Derrick had never liked the news. When he was a child he always liked to change the channel to a cartoon channel. Apparently, people grew to like news but Derrick reckoned he was different, no matter his age, he always disliked news."Hmm?"Derrick had his finger on the remote a second away from changing the channel, when the headline of the broadcast caught his attention.# BLACK VACATION: CRUISE BOAT CAPSIZES, FIVE THOUSAND PLUS FEARED DEAD.# AUTHORITIES BLAME MINI TSUNAMI AS CAUSE OF INCIDENT, SEARCH FOR MISSING PEOPLE CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.He pinched his forehead in embarrassment. He had completely forgotten about that. He picked up a phone he saw on the desk, probably one of his nephew's. He dialed the police hotline." Hello, Good evening. I want to report a case of missin
Fate's Eternal Foe Taking the Test.
" My name is Frank. And I shall be your trainer ".Frank chucked his hands in the pockets of his oversized jeans and glared intensely at them." I said I shall be your trainer but let's not get too hasty. I cannot be your trainer unless you are a trainee. And you have to earn the right to be a trainee by passing some small tests".He signaled a boy staring and the boy came running with a stool and Frank sat on it. His elbows were on his thighs and his chin was in his hands. He continued."That means that as of now, my name is Frank and I AM your examiner!".He scanned the lot of them and his fierce gaze made most of the little boys start quaking in their shoes. His eyes rested on Derrick . He stood up and went directly in front of Derrick . Nose to nose, eyeball to eyeball." I don't know why a grown-ass man is here taking tests meant for kids". The breath from his nose washed over Derrick's face." You're way past the age for this. What are you doing here?"." Didn't get a chance to

" Here is your certificate to identify as a Martial arts trainee". Agnes said as she handed Derrick a document."Thanks".Derrick replied. " Is there anything else I need to know? Maybe like when do I take training and stuff?".Agnes reached into a drawer in her desk and handed him a pamphlet." Here are the rules and regulations of the training center. And about training, it's entirely up to you. You can come any time between six thirty in the morning to seven in the evening. The only thing is you have to pay monthly fees any time you train. And once the time is exhausted you pay for another month to keep training".He nodded " That's cool"." Mr. Derrick". A voice came from behind.Agnes stood up, "Sir".Derrick turned and saw it was that creepy head trainer." What do you want?"." Just so you know, if you are not a Martial apprentice by the age of thirty-five you lose the certificate to practice martial arts. It's the rule for everyone alike, and since you came this late you only

Harrison tapped the treadmill. " Before you start training, you should know your current speed and strength to know what we're dealing with". He said.Derrick then climbed the treadmill." That's cool, but remind me again why it's you here and not that Frank. I thought he was supposed to be our trainer?"." He's training the young ones. We can't have you doing the training as them. And from the tests, you have a very good bone structure. The best talent we've seen in this center. The highest talent we've seen apart from you is our president and he's a fifth-stage apprentice while I'm a fourth-stage apprentice. We've never had a Martial artist before. Now you see why I'm the one training you? Anyway, enough with the questions. Start running". " Okay, okay, alright. Didn't know I was such a big shot". Derrick remarked.He started the treadmill and started running. He noticed an indicator on it showing his current speed. He increased his momentum and it increased slightly. After some mi

Two weeks later. In another country in Bur. The Martial Arts Trainee Center.Two young boys stood across each other on a round mat.The first boy had a dark skin with bushy eyebrows and a shaven head. He was topless and displayed his ripped muscles. His gaze was serious as he stared at the other boy who looked at him mockingly. This one was light in complexion and had white hair, his green eyes sparkled evilly and he wore a thin yellow jacket that was left unbuttoned. A man who stood a small distance from the mat raised his hands and shouted." Start!".The dark boy stiffened his taut muscles and pushed off immediately from the ground. He shot straight at the fair boy and threw a heavy punch at his face.The other boy smirked. Before the punch arrived he turned his body slightly and narrowly dodged the punch. In the next instant, he caught the attacking hand and in a swift motion broke the arm at the elbow joint. A mournful voice immediately cried out.Still, in a fluid movement

" Why don't you let me go next?". Derrick said.Harrison walked close to Derrick. " What do you think you're doing?". He whispered." Can you not see what they were doing to those boys? I'm a trainee too, let me take his place". Derrick replied as he went towards the mat.Max stood in front of him to block him. " Who the hell do you think you are?". He askedDid they think they could ignore the rules and send in an apprentice? " I'm a trainee too and I want to take his place". Derrick pointed at the scared boy huddling in the corner.Max turned to Harrison, " Is this true?". Harrison nodded and held Derrick's shoulder. " Do you know what you're getting into? These guys have reached the limits of their bodies. Do not be impulsive.We will surely give the boys medical attention. Stand aside and this will soon be done with".Derrick had an annoyed face, " And you're just going to watch as they harm your trainees?"." There are rules concerning a challenge......"."

Library
Very early the next day, Derrick climbed up the stairs of the library with bright eyes. He had been dreaming of the library throughout the whole night. He could not wait to read all the books there. The guards were the same ones as the day before and they only glanced at Derrick perfunctorily as he passed through the doors of the library.The expected scene of towering shelves filled with ancient books and a mystical air was not what greeted Derrick as he entered. Instead, there was a small plain room with a high desk at the end. At the sides of the desk were two doors. One was closed while the other revealed a spiral staircase leading upwards. A middle-aged man sat at the desk. His face was sallow and he had a pale complexion. His ragged brown hair hid behind his high crown which made him look like he was balding.The man looked at Derrick drowsily and asked in a tired voice." What level are you?"" First Stage apprentice".The man dragged his right hand across the desk so it was p

WristCon
Outside the fighting hall.The two men had already walked some meters away when Jason turned to Derrick. An apologetic look on his face." Uhm, about what just happened. I'm sorry I got you involved. If I knew he was still in there I would not have brought you here". Derrick continued walking forward without answering and Jason eventually followed. After some minutes of silent walking, Derrick looked at the young boy at his side whose bored expression made it really hard to know his true emotions. " Did you challenge him or did he challenge you?". Derrick asked suddenly."Huh?". Jason was startled. " Oh, right. He challenged me. Until this morning I was higher than him in the rankings. Since he learned a spear art he has been moving upwards steadily. The guy you saw him defeat was just above me".Derrick raised his eyebrows slightly, " What spear art?"." I was going to tell you about that later. It's a martial technique. You can find martial techniques in the library. There's a se

Jason looked at the state of Derrick's belongings, shook his head, and sighed. He closed the door behind himself and walked to his corner." Wait for me. I'll be out in a minute". He told Derrick as he entered the bathroom.Derrick furrowed his brows " Why should I wait for you?". He asked loudly." Just wait. There are some things you need to know". Jason's voice called out from the bathroom.Derrick was a little puzzled by Jason's request, but he waited anyway. He was unfamiliar with this place and would appreciate any new information.After some minutes, Jason came out of the bathroom with white steam rising from his body. He picked up some new clothes and wore them before turning to Derrick." You just arrived at the academy and you don't know much, but it's a rule for the roommate of the newcomer or the nearest person around to show them how things are run in the academy". " But, a guide already showed me around when I arrived". Derrick pointed out.Jason dismissively waved his

Roommate
Derrick picked up the manual Edgar had given him. The man had emphasized it so much that it would be a little foolish not to read it.And Derrick needed to know what was going to happen from here. Edgar did not behave like a guide at all and just left him with vague guidance. Derrick himself was too lazy to ask the man anything. Since there was a handy book here that did not require him to associate with anybody, why not?He started reading the manual. Its content was pretty easy to understand. Derrick had just found out that this organization was called the Martial Arts Training Academy. Not headquarters. He had Harrison and the president to blame for that. The first few lines consisted of the rules of the academy which were, to be honest, a little too few. The rules were just saying; that you can have all the freedom you want. Just don't cause any trouble outside the academy or you'll face the consequences yourself while the academy looks on with arms folded. The rules also sa

Lousy Guide
" Hahaha! Starlight City baby!". Derrick carried his backpack out of the airport's gate and greedily inhaled the fresh airFinally, he was out of Burrin. It was so refreshing. "Phoo! This place is chilly!". Derrick rubbed his shoulders as he shivered. He wore skimpy clothes while traveling. It was not that he did not know that Starlight City had by far a lower degree than Burrin. He knew perfectly well, but Derrick had presumed that since he had become a martial artist he could be immune from the cold. Now it seemed like he was a little naive in his thinking. His body was only stronger than a normal person's own, and he could endure harsh weather better. But that did not mean that he was immune to cold.However, it was not a problem. He just had to circulate a bit of energy and he could get rid of the cold.He circulated his internal energy to get rid of the cold before activating his meditation state while praying strongly that the spiritual energy in Starlight City was not scar

Leaving.
In the parking lot of the Martial Arts Trainee Center...The president of the martial arts training center stood outside in the front park with Harrison. It was around ten am in the morning and their faces looked a little unpleasant, they had been standing there for a long time while waiting for Derrick. Till now there was no sign of him." That Derrick is really strange, isn't he? For two weeks he has not smelt this place, even though we left full use of the Dixt tree for him. What's more, is that he even has the nerve to keep us waiting for two hours!. Harrison, did you not text him yesterday to remind him of the time?". The president complained bitterly." I did text him yesterday. He told me he would be here. And If I remember correctly, I think he said that the energy around the Dixt tree was exhausted. What's this about letting him have full access to it? Maybe I heard wrongly." Harrison replied as he looked at the president with a strange gaze." Cough... Cough... Nevermind t

Level Up
Derrick sat crosslegged in the crack and watched as his internal energy rapidly filed up. With the amount of spiritual energy outside and the speed with which he was absorbing them, he had almost reached the peak of the martial apprentice third stage. Before long his internal energy reached the limit and he could not absorb any more spiritual energy. He then paused to observe the state of the spiritual energy outside. Though he had absorbed a lot of spiritual energy it hardly affected the amount outside, because he noticed that as soon as he absorbed the spiritual energy the spiritual stone mine would disperse some more to fill that up. " That's just great! I can continue to break through without any worries".He directed his senses to his internal energy,"Condense".As in his other breakthroughs, the internal energy in his body all gathered up into a small drop of liquid energy. This time the color changed from normal green to dark green.Immediately, that feeling of bloated stre

Killing the Leopard
A tall man with dark hair jumped down from a large rock in the forest. His clothes were shredded with burn marks on them. This was Derrick. He had started looking for the leopard. He had searched for a while now, but he had not still found it. " Even with those injuries that shithead still managed to run so far. It sure is impressive". marveled at it's tenacity. He wondered what stage the leopard was. It looked like this spiritual mine had just opened because he had not yet found any animal like the leopard around. It seemed after it became strong, it chased away all other animals so it could monopolize the mine." That stingy shit!".Derrick had a great hatred for the leopard. In his two lifetimes, this was the closest he had come to death by another's hand. If not for his exaggerated healing prowess, he would be the midnight snack for that beast. The first time he had noticed healing was when he had those injuries from the sea storm. But it was not as fast as today's own. Duri

The Large Leopard
Starlight City, Martial Arts Academy.Edgar looked at the pile of files on his table and sighed.The number of geniuses was dwindling every year. He just finished registering almost a thousand new apprentices and there were only five individuals that caught his attention.The age-long war against the mutated animals was still in full motion without any signs of stopping. The mutated animals had been growing stronger with each year, and experts arose every day from there. But the humans have been declining in quality. Hardly any genius to be seen year in year out.Knock!The sound of a knock jolted him from his ruminations." Come in".The door opened and a tall woman entered. She wore a white body-hugging suit which made her figure prominent. Her black hair was packed in a bun, and her face had only a slight touch of makeup. She had an air of seriousness and her face was stiff. She carried a white file which she dropped on Edgar's table. " We just received this from the application
