《Magic Fighter》 Prologue- a timely proposal In a white room suffocated by the smell of anaesthetic and the empty consolations of shallow ¡°friends¡± lay a dead man. The man was dead in all meanings of the word except for the fact that he was still breathing. With lifeless eyes he surveyed the white room around him and the faces of those who have come to give him their condolences ¡°So empty¡± the man thought. Those words referred to both the pristine white hospital room as well as the words of those who call themselves his friends. If they were his friends then where were they when he truly needed them, when he was battered and bleeding calling for help. No friends do not abandon you when things get rough, friends do not leave you for dead to save their own hides. And that was the reality of the situation this man, Riki, had come to. Once he was the most prodigious boxer in history holding an undefeated record of over 1000 fights and never losing a single one. At the age of 17 he earned his first championship belt and he kept it for the rest of his career up until now at the age of 25. However even being the prodigious boxer he is he could do nothing when he was walking down a street with his fake friends only to be confronted by a group of 50 hoodlums. Now while this was a situation he could deal with the problem came when one of the hoodlums pulled out a handgun and turned the whole situation around. At the mere sight of the handgun and overwhelming odds his so called friends immediately turned tail and ran away leaving Riki at gunpoint all alone surrounded by thugs. Unable to fight back Riki endured being beaten half to death by them until the police arrived but it was too late. After he was sent to the emergency room and Riki regained consciousness he was told the bad news that both of his legs had multiple fractures and he would be crippled, unable to walk for the rest of his life. Riki never had anything for as long as he could remember. Being born an orphan with no idea of his own parent¡¯s identities he was further ostracised at the orphanage he was staying at due to his piercing green eyes and large stature for his age. When he was finally adopted he thought maybe his luck would turn around but his hopes were instantly squashed by the reality. The couple who had adopted him were nutcases who were constantly getting drunk and doping on drugs. They only wanted a kid as an errand boy and Riki¡¯s natural endurance made him the perfect candidate. Faced with constant abuse from the father and neglect from the mother Riki¡¯s world slowly turned grey. Once Riki entered into high school he was instantly made a target for bullies who saw his poor clothing and different looks. So stuck between a rock and a hard place Riki had no refuge from violence at home nor outside. One day when Riki was 13 he decided that he had enough. As soon as the bullies had started their usual routine of cornering him and beating him senseless he fought back. Like a berserker he used his built up endurance to fight and win against a group of 5 bullies. It was in the middle of him releasing his pent up fury that he realised, he was smiling. Once he started fighting back his heart began pumping faster and faster and the colour of his world started to come back to him. It was at this moment he knew what he liked best. Riki discovered that he was a battle junkie. So faced with the current situation he became incredibly depressed. Not at being unable to walk but Riki was mortified that he would be unable to enjoy his only passion in life which was to fight. Furthermore while Riki was aware that the so called friends of his were only hanging around him because he was famous he thought they would at least have a little more backbone and fight. Riki despises cowards. The words of those around him whether they be doctors or others were just white noise to him. He has nothing left he may as well have died. In fact he would feel better if he just died. The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.Just as he was thinking such things a strange sensation washed over him. As if time had stopped he could no longer hear the white noise of people and his vision was being engulfed by blinding white light. When the light had died town Riki opened his eyes and noticed that the people around him were no longer there. Not only that but the entire hospital room he was just in was also gone and all that he could see was a white space surrounding him. ¡°Yo, you all right there?¡± suddenly a weird distorted voice rung out from all around. Riki couldn¡¯t make any sense of this situation, he was obviously just in a hospital room but now he is in a strange white space and he is hearing voices? ¡°Oi don¡¯t ignore me that¡¯s very rude after all Riki.¡± ¡°Huh! Who¡¯s there, where am I, what¡¯s going on right now?¡± ¡°Hello I¡¯m god, this is my house and right now you are talking to me!¡± ¡°EH! No way. There is no way this is happening. Ah I must be getting delusional, but to think losing my ability to fight puts me in such a state. Maybe I have a problem after all.¡± ¡°No no no this is very much happening and I would appreciate it if you gave me some time to explain.¡± ¡°Ok well voice in my head I suppose it couldn¡¯t hurt so go ahead and explain.¡± ¡°Ok thanks a lot. First I would like to explain your current situation. As of now your real body has been crippled for life and you will never fight again but you already know this to I will further explain. I have brought you here to offer you a second chance at the price of your current life. You see a group of my followers on a certain world have petitioned me to give them a hero to fight their enemy but I¡¯m no good with troublesome things like creating heroes, too much work. Therefore the idea hit me as I was thinking of what to do is why not just send some poor sod over instead. And it just so happens that I chose you so be happy.¡± Whether it be a brief moment of insanity or something else Riki was compelled to believe what the mysterious voice in his head was telling him. And so Riki decided to take everything at face value and accept it as truth. ¡°So what you¡¯re saying is that you want to end my current life and send my soul or whatever to some random world to fight some random enemy. With that logic it should mean that if I accept this I will be able to fight again right?¡± ¡°Yes that is the case. Also as an apology for your inconvenience I will equip you with some bonuses that will ensure you are not instantly killed by the beings in that world. Be warned that some of them are quite strong.¡± ¡°HAHAHA! This is perfect, it¡¯s not like I have anything to loose anyway I¡¯m as good as dead so this is definitely perfect. I accept but are there any details I should know about this world I will be going to.¡± ¡°I¡¯m glad you have accepted and as for the details of the world I can tell you 2 things. The first is that this is a world of swords and magic where various races live. The second is the fact that even though I¡¯m sending you at my followers request you are not bound in any way to them so once you are there you may do as you wish.¡± ¡°Just the idea of being able to fight again makes my blood boil! I thank you whoever you are for doing such a thing.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mind me, this is just a way of avoiding my responsibility in a way. So I will send you over now, good luck!¡± Once the mysterious being naming itself as god finished those words the blinding white light returned causing Riki to shut his eyes again only to open them to a world more colourful than he had ever seen before. Chapter 1- Status Upon arrival to the new world Riki is immediately confronted with a beautiful blonde with luxurious long hair, sparkling blue eyes and an impressively well endowed¡­. ¡°Character¡±. The next most eye catching thing about her was the dress she was wearing. It was a white dress decorated with a regal looking gold embroidery and it gives off the feeling that someone of royalty should be wearing it. Looking around the room Riki could see numerous other people wearing similar looking robes of white and gold in a circle around him. Furthermore Riki could see numerous full body mirrors hanging on the walls. Inside the mirror Riki could see himself, a 6ft5 sturdy looking man with jet-black hair and forest green eyes giving him a sharp and imposing look. I¡¯m definitely glad that I kept all of the same features I had before I came here. It wouldn¡¯t have even been funny if I had showed up as a little girl. Putting 2 and 2 together Riki came to the conclusion that these are the followers the so called god spoke of. Hmm this means that they expect me to go and fight their enemy. That is absolutely fine by me so long as they are worth the fight. ¡°Welcome hero, my name is Princess Lashara Versailles of the holy human empire. Though it may be abrupt but may I ask your name?¡± she said as she put on a smile that wouldn¡¯t loose out to the sun in its brilliance. Yet Riki saw something about that smile and internally frowned. That is a smile I have seen countless times. That same smile is what people use when they want to use me for my fame and money, in other words this is not a princess in front of me but a snake. Although if it¡¯s just this then I expected as much. Riki understood from the beginning that the people who summon him may not have his best interests in mind but that¡¯s to be expected. After all they summoned him for the express purpose of killing their enemies. In other words they see him as a tool, expendable. ¡°My name is Riki your highness.¡± Said Riki with a small bow. Lashara was momentarily surprised by the level of humility shown by the rough looking hero but quickly regained her composure. ¡°Well it appears you are well versed in manners, this is reassuring that the great hero is also a man of character. If you will follow me to the throne room the king will explain your situation to you. After all I¡¯m sure it¡¯s confusing, being summoned all of a sudden.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± With that the doors to the circle temple looking room opened and the princess gestured for Riki to follow after her. After walking through a few deserted hallways Riki arrives at a huge door that looks like something you would see before the last boss of a game. It¡¯s made entirely of gold and has depictions of angels adorning it from top to bottom. Through those doors is a large room with a single chair elevated high on a plateau and sat upon it is a weary, grey haired old man with a face that looks as if the whole world is populated with insects. On the sides of the room on similar yet smaller plateaus men are sitting with similar looks to the king as they watch Riki walk in beside Lashara This is the throne room of the Holy Human Empire and that is its king. Lashara walks up to the middle of the room and gestures subtly for Riki to kneel down next to her. Once he did the king began to speak in a detached tone ¡°Hero, whom has answered our call in this time of need. I thank you on behalf of all of humanity for answering the summons. It is in these dark times where we are beset on all sides by the scourge of the Demon horde, the barbarity of the bestial tribes and the hostility of the Fae folk that we are in need of one such as you.¡± Hmm it seems like humanity is in quite the pinch right now, I wonder just how we managed to piss off all of those races. ¡°As such I, King Braddock Versailles request your aid in fighting these vile enemies of humanity. What is your response?¡± ¡°your highness I live to fight, so long as there are enemies all you need do is point me in their direction.¡± ¡°That is indeed a favourable response. Therefore as the hero I have no doubt you possess great strength. As such I would have you tested to see your capabilities.¡± As that was said one of the robed men from earlier came out holding a piece of paper that looks to be some sort of contract. He then hands the paper to me and backs away while looking at his feet. ¡°Simply shed some of your blood onto the paper and it will allow you to use the show status skill.¡± Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. With a simple bite on the thumb a small bead of blood formed and when it came into contact with the paper there was a flash of blue light as the paper burned up in an instant. Once that happened the knowledge of how to open the status screen appeared in Riki¡¯s head as if it were always there. Riki then opened it and what he saw left a deep impression on him. This is very useful was the main thing he thought. Being able to have a person¡¯s physical attributes displayed in numerical value is something incredibly useful, furthermore to even have abilities shown with their descriptions is incredible.

Abilities
[State manipulation] The ability to alter the state of your own body. After achieving a certain level it can be used to alter the state of other things as well. [Boxing champion] Being a champion boxer the user can dominate close quarters combat and deal incredible damage with his fists. Furthermore vitality and willpower are high so the effect of fear and other forms of mental suppression are reduced [Fighting spirit] As a veteran of battle the user can exert a mental pressure on anyone around him. To weaker enemies this will cause them to cower in fear but to stronger opponents this will intimidate them largely depending on their own fighting spirit. [Divine heritage] Due to being a summoned hero approved by a higher god the user can temporarily enter a state of a demigod. In this state the user can use near endless amounts of mana and has unparalleled physical capabilities. This ability can only be used once every year and lasts for 1 hour. [Heroic growth] Due to being a summoned hero the user will experience exponentially larger status increases and the time it takes to learn abilities by a large amount.
I wonder if these results are good. After all I have no way to compare them to the people around me. Just while thinking as such the same robed person walks up to me and hands me a blue luminescent crystal about the size of a my palm. ¡°Well then hero if you would please apply some of your mana to the crystal to prove to us the validity of your strength.¡± Concentrating on the blue crystal in his hand Reiki tried to get a feel for anything foreign in his body. Due to the fact that he has never had any mana before he found it quite quickly. When he directed his thoughts inwards towards his heart and blood stream he could feel a warm sensation as if hot water was coursing through his veins. This must be mana I guess. Willing the newfound mana into his hand he carefully pushed it into the crystal and felt a slight amount of suction. This is the sensation of using mana but unbeknownst to him and those around him no human has ever been able to control their mana so well on their first try. The king and his subordinates simply assumed that the hero must be powerful and therefore capable of using mana so they had no idea this was not the case. ¡°Those are some very impressive capabilities you show there hero. It is unprecedented for any person to have any stats above 5 at level 1. Not only that but with those abilities I¡¯m sure you will have no issues with fighting even the demon lord once you train for a while.¡± So by that measurement it should mean I¡¯m relatively impressive. I wander what the stats of the royal guards here are like, they seem to have been giving me glares for some time now. If they want to pick a fight with me I will gladly comply, I can¡¯t wait to go toe to toe with this world¡¯s inhabitant¡¯s hehehe. Without realising it Riki was letting out a little bit of his fighting spirit causing the various people around him to stiffen up as if a wild beast had entered the room. I appear to have messed up. Well i was originally planning to write a chapter a day until i got bored of it but i have run into a problem straight away. I find it really difficult to write with the current style that i''m using and i cant seem to actually finish chapters. therefore because i still am not bored of trying to write this thing but i''m just having difficulties i''m going to try and find a way that i can write consistently. I will most likely redo this fiction because i had it planned out but i found it difficult to progress from scene to scene in a way i''m happy with. If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. So i''m gonna try and keep the same theme i was going for with the whole battle junky mc thing but i''m going to plan things out better so i will hopefully be back soon with a better fiction. Sorry for anyone who for whatever reason was enjoying what i have done so far but i just cant seem to write anymore chapters with the way i was going.
