I Reincarnated In My Own Novel

Chapter 3 I reincarnated into my own novel (2)

What makes air trains so special is the fact that they float in the air, and produce almost no noise throughout the journey making them a convenient means of transportation.

Thanks to its smooth aerodynamic design, the air carriage produces low resistance, which in turn allows it to save energy and reach speeds of up to 600km/h.

When I look at the inside of the train, I don't want to be impressed.

Maybe it was because I got special treatment, but the area I specified had a private table and snack bar for me to use freely.

Lazily flexing my back, I comfortably sat on the predetermined chair and looked out the window.

Maybe because it's still summer but, even though it's almost 9 p.m., the sunlight still shines around brightly.

Stations that are quite crowded are sights that you can only see if you are in the movie.

Rows of platforms stand next to each other, and every few minutes you can see an air train departing, and a new train taking over the empty space left behind.

The air carriage, which floated off the ground connected to a long metal cable that stretched all the way to the horizon and with a constantly generating magnetic field, allowed the air carriage to move quickly without any obstacles.

"We'll be leaving soon, please sit down"

*delivery!

A beautiful voice entered my ears, and the door automatically closed. Suddenly below me, I felt a strange pushing sensation, similar to when a plane took off, and gradually an air carriage floated in the air.

A few seconds after hovering in mid-air, the train gradually increased its speed and left the station.

next stop, Colington Park Station 15

Staring at the ever-changing scenery before me, I was immersed in deep thought.

Right now I am on my way to the Clayton ridge to gather [Steel limits], but if I want to approach the level of the protagonist from a distance, then I must also obtain sword arts.

Sword arts, or rather martial manuals, were manuals developed since the beginning of the second natural disaster and consisted of martial techniques that had existed since ancient times. With the addition of mana, the long-forgotten ancient martial techniques were restructured and remodeled to take into account which ones were left behind in the atmosphere, and quite surprisingly the technique that was once considered useless turned into some of the most powerful moves a human could ever make.

Ever since the discovery of the adaptability that martial techniques had regarding control and mana use, martial manuals suddenly became highly coveted and as a result, became highly coveted, they slowly began to disappear from public view due to the intervention of powerful governments and individuals.

The government mainly did so to prevent the manual from landing in the wrong hands, but with regards to powerful individuals, it was more of a power move to monopolize the manual for themselves.

The martial manuals were separated into five classes, 1 star, 2 star, 3 star, 4 star, and finally 5 star, with 1 star as the lowest value and 5 star as the highest value.

Each grade was determined by how strong the art was once mastered, and the difference between each grade was quite large, such as the difference between one's ranks.

When choosing a manual, the most important thing is not its class but whether the manual is compatible with you.

If you have a talent in swordsmanship but practice spear-related manuals, the chances are that regardless of how high the value of the manual is, it will be, You will never be able to fully unleash the full potential of the manual.

Looking at my status, I inevitably turn my attention to my profession section [Swordsmanship lvl.1]

I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but the protagonist also has a talent in swordsmanship. The one behind was advantageous to me because I knew every cheat skill he had gained for his swordsmanship profession.

In particular, certain sword arts caught my interest.

Sword arts [keiki style].

When I came up with different sword arts to give to the protagonist, I came up with three different styles. [Keiki Style], [Vivisha Style], and [Gravar Style], all of which are 5-star manuals.

[Keiki Style], what interests me the most, is a sword art that requires an inhuman level of speed when drawing swords.

In the setting I made, it was a sword art created by Grandmaster Toshimoto Keiki. He was a Japanese sword practitioner who later became famous for his unparalleled strength. He was also one of the first humans to awaken mana during the second phase of the disaster.

Since Grandmaster Keiki was already a respected swordsman even before the second natural disaster, when mana entered the world, once he woke up, his human restraint was cut off, resulting in the creation of a [keiki style]. An extremely powerful sword art where the user would pull the sword from its sheath so quickly that by the time the opponent sensed danger, he was already dead. It was a one-draw one kill style type.

Since it is a one-draw one kill style type, the drawbacks are pretty obvious. You no longer have an advantage over your opponent after they successfully defended the first attack.

The second style is [levisha style]. Grandmaster Levisha who also woke up at the same time as Grandmaster Keiki created his own unique sword arts.

Unlike the [keiki style], [levisha style] operates differently. It was a much more beautiful sword art. While writing the novel, I remember describing it as a sword art that would amaze anyone who saw the art. Even though it is a very beautiful sword art, you should not underestimate it, as it is as deadly as its beauty.

It might be the most balanced sword art of the three, but in terms of attack it was not as good as the [keiki style] and [gravar style] that specialized in attacks.

The Last [Grace of Gravar]. The most famous sword art of the two. Calling it a sword art, of course, was a compliment. There were no fancy swings, no fancy moves, It was just relying on raw physical strength that flooded every opponent that passed through it. It was a series of bottomless random swings behind them, but at the same time due to the user's immense strength, it allowed them to easily defeat opponents.

Why is it famous? simple, because anyone who practiced sword arts would find themselves suffering from unbearable pain. In order for one to be able to train the [Gravar Style], the requirement was to reshape the human body by restructuring the flesh and bones within the human body to better suit the art style. It was a horrible and painful procedure that could mentally destroy anyone trying to practice it.

While there is a high chance of mental breakdown, if you manage to practice [Gravar Style] successfully, you are basically guaranteed to have an inhuman strength that will make anyone fear you.

Back why I was interested in [keiki style] with respect to the other two arts. There are actually two main reasons.

Second, I can't possibly think of [the Levisha style] as belonging to the protagonist. I can't change the scenario too much, or my dreams of a peaceful life will go to waste. Also, the [Gaya Gravar] is too brutal for me to bother learning it. I am not a masochist.

At first, when writing a novel I wanted the protagonist to practice [keiki style], but the more I wrote the more I thought it didn't fit the character, and thus I discarded [keiki style]

Fortunately, with some sort of twist of fate, I am now inside my own novel and can now remove my regrets and practice [the Keiki style]. Moreover, I don't have to worry about the impact of learning sword arts, as I learned it won't affect the novel's storyline.

I decided to learn [keiki style] right after I gathered [Seeds]. Fortunately, the location where the sword arts were located was not too far from the Clayton ridge, so by the end of the week, I should have been able to have [seed of limit] and [Keiki style].

next stop, Station 24 Clayton ridge

Waking me up from my deep thoughts, was the beautiful sound coming from the carriage speakers.

Looking out the window, I could see the huge mountains in the distance.

As the tectonic plates shift, it causes the continents to collide with each other resulting in huge mountains and mountains suddenly appearing all over the world.

Clayton's current ridge was the result and effect of the Japanese hitting the eastern side of China causing the ground to lift and creating a chain of mountains.

Standing beneath the majestic huge mountain and admiring the scene, I could only sigh

"It's really not a novel anymore....."

Everything still feels unreal to me. As the creator of the novel, I always had this feeling of disbelief. Everything feels fake. The buildings, the people, the maps, everything is like what I wrote in the novels. Nothing is extraordinary. Sometimes I wonder if this is all the fruit of my imagination, and I am in a coma somewhere dreaming of this. But.....

Inhaling the fresh air, and smelling the pungent, sweet, and refreshing smell emanating from the pine trees in front of me, I could almost be sure that everything in front of me was real.

With a new spirit, I began to climb the mountain.

...

"Huf... Huft..."

The terrain was rougher than I expected, making it difficult for me to catch my breath while climbing the mountain. I had to stop a few times to check my direction, as there was no way for me to follow directly.

Three hours had passed since my trip up the mountain, and although my breathing was a bit rough, I was not too tired. Well.given the fact that I have prepared the thick mana inside my body, it shouldn't be surprising that I managed to survive this long.

Keep in mind that if normal humans without any concentration of mana in their bodies climbed this mountain, they would not reach the same point as me. Then again, I really shouldn't compare myself to normal humans, because anyone in the academy will outlast me.

I was currently walking towards the third highest peak, where a small cave containing [Seeds of Boundaries] was located.

Since I only spent a few sentences explaining where to find [limit seeds], I don't know exactly the location of the cave. I only know that it's on the third highest peak of the Clayton ridge.

Knowing that searching the cave was almost like searching for a needle in a haystack, I had already mentally prepared myself for a long and arduous quest. Hopefully, I won't waste too much time, otherwise I might end up spending days here, which I can't afford.

Just when I had arrived below the third highest peak, I squinted. I could already see the sun trying to hide behind the mountains reducing my visibility significantly.

Clenching my fists, I decided to do one last fight and climb towards the third peak.

It was a very reckless decision on my part because I was going straight up the mountain, unlike before where I had just climbed.

In addition, as the sun went down and my visibility decreased every minute, it made it even harder for me to climb the mountain because a slight slip could put my life at risk.

Climbing the mountain this time was really reckless, but it was not like the protagonist was waiting for me to chase after him, and thus I steeled my mind and slowly climbed the mountain.

Sensing the cold stone between my hands, I increased the grip of my hand and carefully climbed the mountain. If I didn't find the cave soon enough, I would probably be forced to camp somewhere on the top of the mountain, which isn't very ideal.

Halfway up the mountain, and 2 hours into my climb, I could already feel my hands numb from continuing to climb. The sun, which had been setting for a long time only left an endless darkness that made it impossible for me to see more than a few meters in front of me.

As the night progressed, the cold began to feel, further adding to the difficulty of climbing. It had been difficult to climb before, but now things have become more difficult. Not to mention my whole body started to hurt like crazy.

Gritting my teeth, I endured the stinging pain coming from my arm and continued my journey.

Putting my foot into the narrow gap, I stopped and looked up.

Even though it was dark, I could still see several meters in front of me. While squinting, I saw a small protruding stone coming from the upper left of my view. Recalling a similar description from my novel, my eyes sparkled and I forced my body to climb near the rock.

Placing my hands on the stone and applying some pressure, I can make sure that this is the right place when a small crack appears behind the stone.

Applying a little more pressure, I moved the stone further to the side allowing me to see what was right behind the stone.

"Bingo!"

With a wide smile, I used all my strength and pushed the stone outside causing it to fall, opening a small gap that one person could enter.

- Bang!

After 10 seconds of free fall, a huge sound could be heard from under the mountain that made my spine goosebumps.

"If it were me, I would most likely turn into an omelet if there were anything else ..."

Turning my attention back to the cave, I slowly pushed my body into a small crack. As I entered the small hole, I crawled forward for several meters until a wide hole appeared before me.

Increasing my speed, I entered the cave.

As soon as I entered the cave, I felt all the energy flowing out of my body, causing me to fall weakly to the ground. I was tired, both physically and mentally. From the moment I entered the Clayton ridge to the moment I reached the cave, all I did was nonstop physical labor.

I climbed non-stop for 3-4 hours and then climbed three-quarters on the third peak. If not for the fact that I had woken up by the time I reincarnated into the novel, I would have been exhausted halfway through.

Let me be clear. I was also very lucky throughout the trip. That is, I did not find any animals. Since most of the animals that were exposed to mana became raging, I expected some sort of encounter against one of such animals on the mountain, but fortunately for me, I expected some sort of encounter, I have prepared as I bring a low-level beast repellent that repels any beast below.G-rank.

So, thanks to the repellent, I did not find any ferocious beasts which in turn helped me save some of my energy, allowing me to find this place faster.

Leaning against the cave wall, I slowly regained some of my energy. Looking around, all I could see was a large cave whose tip I could not see.

Smiling at myself, I got up and moved towards the depths of the cave

"It's time I upgraded myself......"
