Multiversal Ascension

‘She fell asleep? I’ll let her sleep even if it costs me some LP, she has suffered to upgrade her body so that our training is more efficient. The less I can do is let her sleep.’

‘The thing that I don’t understand is why it hurt her to gain stats! The two options I can think of are that it is either because she gained a lot of stats at the same time or because she has a different body due to being an artificial intelligence.’

Mikael stayed in the same position for 30 minutes before he felt Kiara move.

‘Ahhhh I’m too comfortable now’ murmured Kiara softly with her eyes still closed.

Kiara had a peaceful smile on her face while holding Mikael tightly.

Mikael gently shook Kiara before saying “Kiara can you get up? I know you are awake.”

When she heard his words, she looked around with a sleepy expression, before realizing where she was and immediately breaking into a furious blush.

She quickly jumped to her feet before realizing that her white outfit, a mix between a dress and medieval armor, was a mess. She straightened herself up before speaking, "You wanted to train your swordsmanship, right? Can we go now?"

Mikael was amused seeing her seriously speaking while having some drool at the corner of her mouth, he saw that she was just embarrassed and wanted to change the subject, and said “Sure we can go train now.”

Kiara rapidly started to walk in the direction of the dojo but she still took a quick glance at Mikael while walking.

The two of them arrived at a new area that wasn’t there in the dojo before. This area had a wide open space, a couple of training dummies, and some wooden racks with training swords on them.

“What type of sword do you want to learn to use?”

“I have a shortsword so I would like to learn to use it but in the future, I may start to use two shortswords.”

“Let’s take one each. I’ll show you how to use it.”

Mikael took the sword in his right hand.

“The first thing you’ll need to know is how to hold the sword. Everybody can slash with a sword but not everybody can make a good slash knowing how to hold your sword is the basic” Kiara seriously spoke.

Kiara shows a demonstration of how to hold her sword before correcting the posture that Mikael took, for the next 10 minutes.

“Your posture is okay for now. What we will now learn are the attack posture and the defensive posture.”

Kiara took position before doing a vertical slash.

Swish

“That’s one of the simplest attacks a vertical slash. We will only train the basics for now before we do some sparring” she declared.

“I’m good with it we can start.”

It took 1 hour of Mikael training in the sword basics attack and defense postures before a notification appeared.

‘Again a skill that is named ‘mastery’. It seems that the mastery skills like Footwork Mastery are different than the normal skills like 6th sense.’

‘The mastery skill allows you to learn the related knowledge faster and also gives a passive bonus, maybe they are like foundation skills that you need to learn better skills or become stronger. It could be a requirement to learn a cultivator technique like ‘Sea Parting Slash’ for example.’

‘Honestly, even if the mastery is useless to learn stronger techniques they are still really strong. By learning a mastery like for example the martial arts one, I will be better in martial arts so stronger in a fight and we can say that my stats will be worth more.’

“New skill?” she asked.

“Yeah, it’s my 4th skill that I learn. Honestly thanks for the training you really helped me” spoke a smiling Mikael.

“Don’t worry it's my pleasure.”

“We should have roughly 2 hours left so we should use this time to spar and learn how to use the moves you learned in a fight situation.”

“Ok, let’s start.”

In the next 2 hours, Mikael made big progress in the swordsmanship fight and it was visible in his skill progress.

[Your progress in the Swordsmanship Mastery skill has reached 54%.]

Mikael thanked Kiara for the training before grabbing his things and heading into the hub.

When he was in the hub, he spoke to the records “Can you find me a weak world where there isn’t magic or other energy and the power of the people is determined by the strength of their body. The world should have a lot of monsters to kill, preferably in adventurer settings.”

“The world shouldn’t have gods or similar beings that could sense my unique soul and possibly insta kill me.”

‘Wow, it's even better than what I was searching for. There is all I wanted and more, there are even body refining techniques that I could learn. The only problem is that the world looks really dangerous.’

‘If I compare killing the goblin chief gave me 500 LP but in the Aedris world becoming an E-rank hunter also gave me 500 LP so I can say that it’s approximately the same difficulty level.

[Teleportation Initiation in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…]

The next moment Mikael disappeared in a flash of blue light.

He appeared in what looked like a forest at night but he didn’t have the time to inspect his surroundings well before hearing.

ROAAAR

Some birds took flight when they heard this loud roaring.

‘I don't know what has made this roar but I don’t want to meet it’ Mikael thought before he began to run in the opposite direction.

Swissh

Mikael instinctively dodged to the right. He saw that a claw missed him by only a few centimeters.

Mikael looked around him and noticed that he was surrounded by three two-meter-tall wolves.

The first wolf lunged at him but he counterattacked by drawing his sword and gun. He used his sword to slash at the neck of the wolf.

This attack nullified the charge of the wolf and caused a red line to appear on his neck before decapitating him.

[D-Rank Giant wolf killed 2,5K xp received]

Mikael did not let them time to react before firing a bullet in the head of the farthest wolf, killing it instantly.

[D-Rank Giant wolf killed 2,5K xp received]

After he rushed at the last wolf. The wolf did not stand still and took a swipe at Mikael.

Swiss

He threw himself to the ground to dodge the claw before launching a kick directly in the rib of the wolf. The kick made it fly directly into a tree and dazed it for a precious second and Mikael took advantage to slash it.

[D-Rank Giant wolf killed 2,5K xp received]

[Class: Martial Artist has leveled up X2]

[Global level X2]

Mikael still on alert thought ‘Fuck that was fucking dangerous I could have died directly by the ambush.’

‘If I didn’t have the 6th sense skill I probably would have died’ he thought with a pale face.

He looked around at the blood-soaked ground before recommencing to run, this time he was slower and a lot more cautious.

The rest of the journey was relatively peaceful but it still took a couple hours to reach the edge of the forest.

He discerned in the darkness of the night what looked like a medieval city with a stone wall not far away.
