The Mind World And The Outcast Hero Zen
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
The Mind World And The Outcast Hero Master Rikugan And Death
Master Rikugan had been teaching Nathan about the fundamentals of Zen for the past two hours. However, they had finally decided to take a break as they allowed themselves to relax on the wooden floor."That was exhausting and it was only theory," sighed Nathan."Yes, Zen is quite difficult to grasp," replied Rikugan. "I think I even forgot the reason I invited you into my home in the first place. We still need to find a way to restore your memories!"Nathan scratched his head as he pondered."Well, earlier when you mentioned the Lady Of The Lake, my head started hurting. I felt like she influenced me to be here somehow...""Lady Vivienne? We did find you unconscious on a shrine dedicated to her so there's a possibility.""So what are we going to do then..?""Well, I can't say for sure but I believe your memories hold the key to what it is that you must do. I believe that the gods had more than one reason to send you here. If it were to simply regain your memories then they would have
The Mind World And The Outcast Hero Training Begins
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
The Mind World And The Outcast Hero Training (Time Skip)
Andrew and Sindy trained rigorously under Instructor Brady inside a Leisure Dome. Nathan's death was still like a fresh wound on their hearts. However, they had both managed to turn their grief into the determination needed for them to get stronger.Ever since Nathan's death, they had gone on a total of three missions, completing each of them successfully. Due to this, they had both been promoted to the CB-Class. On one hand, Sindy wanted to carry out Nathan's will and save both the Mind World and the Real World. However, on the other hand, Andrew desired to find a way back home with Sindy."Andrew..." Called Sindy as she sparred with him."What is it, princess?""Do you think we'll ever see Nate again..?"Andrew was shocked to hear Sindy's question. Due to this, he lost focus for a short moment which resulted in Sindy landing a solid punch to his jaw, throwing him to the ground."Son of a... Ugh..! Did you do that on purpose to distract me?" Asked Andrew as he comforted his bruised j
The Mind World And The Outcast Hero A Battle With Death
Nathan, Rikugan, Ava, and Evan all sat in a circle while holding hands. Everyone aside from Rikugan was on the verge of suffering from an anxiety attack."G-grandpa, do we have to do this? This is suicide!" Argued Evan."This is not only Nathan's problem, Evan. This problem is as much ours as it is his. If we do not find a way to tame that angel inside of him then one day, its power will destroy the Mind World. We must do this!"Evan lowered his head as he tried to calm himself. He wanted to run away but he knew he had no choice but to fight."Grandpa, how can you be so calm? I know you're strong but not even you could stand up to an angel! Why aren't you scared?" Trembled Ava."Ava, sometimes we must face the things we fear the most. That is the only way to defeat our greatest nightmares.""I'm sorry that you guys have to go through with this..." Apologized Nathan.Ava smiled at Nathan, comforting him. Evan also gave him a reassuring nod to signify that it was okay. Following this, R
The Mind World And The Outcast Hero A Battle With Death (Part 2)
Nathan clawed his way out of the grave. His body was rigged with pain but he couldn't allow himself to stay down. He had to defeat Death, no matter what."It's true," smirked Nathan. "You are strong... But that's exactly how I like it. The stronger you are, the stronger I will be when I make your power mine!""You insolent pest!" Boomed Death in annoyance.A dark sword made from flaming Death Energy then formed in Death's hand. Nathan knew that this meant trouble. However, before he could properly prepare himself, Death flew toward him at insane speeds.Following this, Death swung his sword violently at Nathan. Nathan, however, managed to block the attack with the blunt of his katana at the last second. Sadly, he had not calculated the terrifying power that would accommodate Death's attack.The power of Death's attack shattered the ground into pieces like glass, uprooting dead trees and graves with ease. The force sent Nathan flying through over a dozen dead trees before he collided w
The Mind World And The Outcast Hero A Battle With Death (Part 3, Conclusion)
Even though he felt like he had just been hit full force by a fast-moving truck, Nathan painfully picked himself up. Despite Death's threat to kill him, he refused to stay down."I see..." He began in a pain-filled voice. "Now it makes sense why I haven't been able to outrun you...""Have you lost your senses? You talk as if you have everything figured out even though you're about to die," proclaimed Death."I'm sorry, Death, but I don't have time to be dead. I'm no longer that kid who always failed his missions and lost every fight. And I'm about to prove that by defeating you!""Don't get cocky, you brat!" Boomed Death as he flew towards Nathan.Once again, time seemed to slow down. Nathan knew that running was pointless. No matter how fast he moved, Death would be able to catch him. His only option was to stand and fight.Nathan then took a deep breath as he prepared to activate an Art Style. His eyes began glowing bright blue while electricity flowed from his body like a beacon. E
The Mind World And The Outcast Hero Cliques Invasion
Nathan was exhausted. He had exerted almost every drop of Spirit Energy he had to defeat Death. The only good side to his fatigue was that his real body had no physical injuries. Since it was his Spirit Energy that had been fighting Death, his injuries had not been transferred over physically."Nathy!" Squealed Ava as she wrapped her arms around him. She was filled with joy to see that he had made it back alive."Hey," he replied tiredly. "I told you I'd be okay... I kept my word..!"Evan and Rikugan were also thrilled to see him. Truthfully, they had feared that he wouldn't be able to defeat Death. They were happy this was not the case."Are you feeling okay?" Asked Evan curiously."I'm mostly okay but I'm extremely tired... I feel like I could collapse at any moment...""Well, that's better than being back in Tartarus.""I agree..!" Sighed Nathan"And the seal?" Interjected Rikugan.Nathan then showed his katana to Rikugan, revealing the imprint of Death's name on the side."Wow! Do

The Journey Begins
Nathan, Ava, and Evan felt a rush of nostalgia. The memories they created in Youkatai Mountain would stick with them no matter where they went. It was now time for them to venture into a new chapter of their lives. Ava and Evan wished to see the world for themselves and Nathan was adamant about defeating the Cliques.They were now set to leave the village. They were all carrying heavy bags that had food, water, weapons, and other necessities needed for their journey.Rikugan smiled before wrapping his arms around them for a warm hug."Remember you three, you're always welcomed here no matter where your journey takes you. I am proud to have you as my students and grandchildren!""Thank you, grandpa..! I'm going to miss you so much!" Sobbed Ava."Take care of yourself, gramps! We'll come back when we're finished helping Nathan! Until then, please be well!" Added Evan tearily."I will. Now, please behave yourselves while traveling with Nathan. On your journey, you'll come to see many thi

Rikugan's Decision
Nathan felt like the world had stopped moving. His heart thumped against his chest and his breathing became heavy. His eyes became as cold as ice and the air around him became filled with blood lust. He was fueled with rage. He couldn't accept that Sindy and Andrew had been killed."What did you just say..?" He asked in an unsettling voice, looking at Illumi.Illumi began to chuckle like a child, refusing to answer. Due to this, Nathan charged toward the commander burning with rage. However, Rikugan grabbed onto his arm, stopping him from going any further."Nathan, control yourself!" Deterred Rikugan. "There's no guarantee your friends are dead! He could just be provoking you!"Ava and Evan also rushed to Nathan's side, trying their best to calm him down."Dude, calm down..! Gramps could be right! They might just be provoking you to get you to come over to them so that they can grab you and run!" Soothed Evan."Evan's right! Besides, you're in no condition to take on two commanders

Heartfelt News
Nathan..!" Squealed Ava in shock.Rocca and Illumi were also stunned. Nathan, the Mind Hero, who they believed to be dead was now standing before them. They were sure that he had been killed in the explosion back in Conscience City over a year ago. It made no sense why he was still alive."You..! This isn't possible... You're the Mind Hero, aren't you..? How are you alive..?" Asked Rocca in shock.Nathan didn't give an immediate response. In truth, he had recognized Rocca as well. He was the commander that Rick had fought back in Conscience City over a year ago. If his memory served correctly, Rick had called him The Man Of Steel, Rocca, also known as the most powerful Clique commander."I'm no hero. My name's simply Nathan and I have no interest in telling you how I'm alive."Rocca laughed, "This is great!! There was an order to capture you and that #4 assassin, Isabella! So when we heard you had died, we were quite disappointed!"Nathan ignored Rocca's statement. He was much more co

Defiance
The fight had begun. Tension was now in the air and adrenaline began to pump. Rikugan lunged at the commanders with his hands shrouded in dark Spirit Energy.Swiftly, he snuck below Illumi's guard and slammed his fist into his stomach. Illumi's mouth widened as the air was squeezed from his lungs. He staggered backward, struggling to regain his balance.However, Rocca was not about to let his partner be defeated so easily. He swung his massive axes at Rikugan, quickly activating an Art Style."Steel Art: Metallic Cut!"Rocca's axes shone brightly as they approached Rikugan. Rikugan had to defend himself. Metallic Cut was an Art Style that sharpened weapons to the point where they could cut even titanium like butter.Nonetheless, Rikugan was prepared. Quickly, he activated a Zen Barrier that barely managed to block Rocca's attack. Fortunately, this had created an opportunity for him to counter."Destruction Art: Destructive Touch!"Rikugan didn't have much Spirit Energy at his disposal

Tribute To The Past
After leaving Nathan behind, Rikugan arrived at the part of the village that was being attacked. The area was ravaged and left in a deplorable state. Houses, shops, and other buildings were now piles of wood scattered across the streets. Flames flickered and smoke danced its way up into the air. However, the fighting had already seemed to stop. The only thing in sight was destruction and bodies of the injured and the dead. This was strange to Rikugan given that he could still sense the Spirit Energies of those who had attacked the village."Grandpa!" Shouted Evan who had finally arrived with Ava. "Why are you just standing around?! Some of the villages are still alive! We need to help them!""Wait, both of you! Don't move!" Warned Rikugan."Huh..? Is something wrong?" Inquired Ava.Rikugan didn't answer. Instead, he peered his eyes before him as if someone was there."I won't fall for such a cheap trick! I know you're there! Save me the trouble and show yourselves!" Shouted Rikugan.
