Skills : World Breaker Roar

This is the final version of the Roar skill.

This skill will inflict fear and paralyze enemies based on distance and the enemy's resistance to a status effect.

This skill will deal medium to low amounts of damage based on distance and enemy defense.

The explanation for the new skill was amazing. Not only does it give fear and paralyze, but it also deals damage to the enemy. The only drawback was that it hurt my throat quite a lot so I cannot do it repeatedly and it no longer relies on my anger.

Now with that skill finished, it is time to go to the next skill which is..... Nothing.

I literally have no other skills aside from World Breaker Roar. What should I do to get new skills?

Hmm, I don't have a clue. Back then when I got my roaring skill, it happened just like that. I don't really see anything that triggers me to get a new skill, except for my overwhelming emotions.

I think I just need to try something, anything, and see if that triggers skill creation. What should I try... Hmmm

Ah, I have an idea!

I quickly took my stance with my right hand in a ready position, using my imagination I tried to visualize an enemy in front of me.

As I focus my mind, I can somehow see the said enemy in front of me. They appeared like Luvia but with white fur. The details of these enemies were blurry but it's still quite clear for me.

That is good already, as long as there is a target then that is all I need.

I push my leg as hard as I can, jumping high with my right fist ready. As I got closer to the target, I angled down while clenching my fist. Soon I reached the target and in an instant, I shot my fist straight to the target's head.

Whooooshh!!

My fist went through the target, as I already expected. The target gets blown by my fist, scattered for a second before gathering and reforming itself seconds later.

I frowned as I landed on a platform that was already here without noticing. I can feel that my jump fist was not as good as it used to be. Back then when I was in the gang, my jump fist was my famous opening move.

What did I do wrong? I don't know, let's just try again.

Once more I take my stance and face toward my target who already stands to face me. Its blurry figure was ready to take my fist anytime.

I push as hard as I can, this time using my whole body instead of just using my leg power. At my highest position, I pull my fist further back. Aiming to shoot it from farther range.

As my body goes down and reaches the target, I shoot my fist with all my hand power. Once again I feel something is wrong with my movement, like it lacked something important.

My fist once again went through the target and it burst into puffs of clouds before reforming once again. Without delay, I quickly turn my body and try again.

I repeated it a few more times until I finally realized my mistakes. When I shot my fist, I forgot to use all my upper body which resulted in a reduced amount of power I can unleash.

I tried again one more time, and this time I made sure to remember all the steps right. I jump toward my target and shoot my fist by moving the entire upper body.

Bwoooshsh!

A wave of air pressure shot out from my fist as the target blew into puffs of clouds. Soon, a blue box appeared to tell me that I had managed to create a skill.

Congratulations!

New Skills Learned!

Blasting Punch

I feel great! Another skill has finally been recorded!

Then an idea came into my head. I was just punching the air and a blast of air pressure shot out from my fist. But what if you punch the ground with the same amount of power?

I immediately tried it, modifying my recently acquired skill based on my new idea. This time I did a vertical jump above and used the pull of gravity along with my body movement to punch the floor I was standing on.

GrRrrhhh!

I got the expected results but it failed to get recorded as a skill. Did I do something wrong?

I tried and tried again a few more times, altering the move a bit here and there with no results until I finally gave up.

Creating skills was not as easy as I thought, even when I managed to create one before. There must be some rules involved when creating a skill that I failed to do just now but succeeded in before.

I put my modified techniques to the back of my mind and shelved them nicely so I could remember them later, figuratively. After that, I continued to train by trying several moves that I still remember.

I have a few fancy moves back when I was a bad boy. Brawlers were not people who practiced a certain set of moves and became good by doing it. They were wild humans who fought by relying purely on instinct and experience by fighting continuously day and night.

Aside from training to fight like a brawler, I also tried to fight like a beast. I remember back when I was a lion. Relying on claws and fangs as my main weapon was a whole new kind of experience.

One of the things that I like about being a beast is the feeling of stabbing my claws into the enemy's flesh. The satisfaction of seeing my enemies cut open by my own sharp claws was the best feeling ever.

I consider it under the top five but still within the top ten. The first five feelings were reserved for my late wife.

The question is, can I make a skill out of it?

I tried it by slashing my target. I started by using one finger to send a cutting strike to my target. Unfortunately, due to the short length of my claws, I can only leave a long line of wounds on my target.

The line quickly filled up and the target was restored, while I stared at my finger. It feels weird to slash with just one fingerfinger and I should have already expected that.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

I tried once again, this time using two fingers and fully expecting it to be weird, and once again my expectations have proven to be true.

I tried with three fingers and four fingers next. Each time it feels better, even if it is still wrong.

Lastly, I tried using five fingers and made a slash. It still feels weird but I can tell that this is the right way. I just need to fix a few things on my finger positions.

I tried several times more, each time more powerful and faster than before. In every iteration, I tried to change my fingers a bit. Trying to imitate my previous form where my claw positions were better.

Finally, after several more trials and errors, a blue box appears as a sign of my successful effort.

Congratulations!

New Skills Learned!

Severing Claws

It feels good when you try something for some time and get rewarded by blue box recognition. It is as if you are back to school where teachers reward you with good scores because you have learned well.

Then to make things even more wonderful, another blue box appeared giving me a present as if this was Christmas.

CONGRATULATIONS!

I have four new skills in a single cha- I mean, in a single session. Yes, sessions!

I am pretty sure all my skills were powerful even when I didn't see the details. I made almost all of them myself so I know how powerful they are.

With nothing else to do, I decided to sit down and rest. I sit in a meditative pose that I know from watching cartoon movies and try to imitate the meditation.

I did this mostly because I remember back then when i was still a brute boy, I loved to pretend that I learned some mystical skills from somewhere and meditate to deepen my skills even further.

Of course, it was all just me being silly, but somehow this time feels different. Like there is something out there, somewhere, that calls me and wishes to become one with me. I don't know what that is yet, but I can feel it just by pretending to meditate.

Imagine if I really tried to meditate! Haha!

Other than the call from the unknown feeling, I also hear a call from someone. Or maybe some people?

It sounds so.. Crowded? So boisterous?

It sounds like many people saying the same words again and again, repeatedly until the words are no longer audible. What did they try to say?

Hmmm... We?

Mmmm... Need?

Mmmm.. You?

Do we need you? Are they talking to me? Or is this some kind of otherworldly call to go somewhere else?

Lord.... Yohan?

We Need You Lord Yohan.....

WE NEED YOU LORD YOHAAANN!!!!

*****

I jolted up as I took a big deep breath. I can hear the villagers' voices calling me and cheering me up as they see me trying to stand up.

I wobbled a bit, trying to balance my body as I could feel my wounded body fixing itself. I really need to read the description of my healing skills!

As I focused my eyes, I saw that the villagers were roaring in happiness and hope. Some even shed tears when they saw me standing up.

Meanwhile, in the opposite direction, Oak Treant looks at me with disbelief on his face. He looks like he just saw a ghost. Am I a ghost now? I believe not.

"How? HOW!

YOU WERE JUST ABOUT TO DIE A SECOND AGO! "

"Wow, bro! Chill!

I just woke up! "

I stretched my body as if I was preparing to do some gymnastics exercise. My eyes remain on Oak Treant while giving him a confident smile.

As I stretched, memories quickly rushed into me and reminded me of what had just happened. It was quite blurry but I could tell that Oak Treant managed to kill me. I was just about to die but somehow saved by training in that Training Space.

Once again, check on that healing skill!

Meanwhile, Oak Treant looks like he cannot take it anymore. He was so angry even his bark-skinned face turned deep red from anger.

Oak Treant roared angrily as hundreds of roots shot out from below the ground and tried to turn me into a sponge. Luckily, my instinct roared inside and warned me about the attack. I quickly jump as high as I can to avoid getting skewered by the sharp roots, twice a day.

As I jumped, Oak Treant laughed maniacally and sent his sharp branches toward me. I racked my mind quickly and remembered the new skill that I had.

I pulled my right hand above my head as the branches flew towards me. Soon the branches pierced my body but before that happened, I activated my new skill.

"Blasting Punch"

Bwoooshhh!! Crack Crack Crack!

The branches were blasted away by the wave of wind pressure produced by my skill. The remaining power of the blast managed to reach Oak Treant and put pressure on his bark-skinned face.

There wasn't much remaining power, but it was enough to act as a warning. The current me is different. I am stronger and I can kill him whenever I want.

I think tehe!
