Introduction "3"

"Josaku didn't feel anything strange and didn't know that the tattoo would cause his death and trigger many future events."

"I delved into anger and almost forgot the other memory I had received. It wasn't my memory, but another memory that I believe was a memory of the body. The memory contained a lot of information, just a glimpse about my whereabouts and this world. Firstly, the body's name was Josaku, and he was from a noble family on his continent. However, for reasons I couldn't remember, he found himself near this forest and then fell asleep, only to wake up as me. This is a strange and mysterious world that has only explored 5 continents, yet progress in all aspects is ongoing. I didn't get any other information about any of the continents."

"Currently, I am in the continent of Skyland, that's what I know. Because I couldn't absorb a lot of information at once, every time I tried to think about the memories, my head hurt, so I stopped."

"I started walking in the forest, and there was nothing strange. I arrived at a crossroads, but something urged me to go right. And since I learned that lesson, I ignored it and headed towards the other road to continue walking. But that feeling was still there, as if something was drawing me towards it, but I didn't care."

"After a while of walking, I noticed something strange, a fruit that was different from the usual fruits.It was the source that was drawing me towards it, so I headed towards it. I stopped in front of a medium-sized tree with red and horned fruits on its branches. I picked one of the fruits, and it was moist to the touch. Without thinking, I took a bite."

"When I wanted to complain and spit it out of my mouth, its taste shocked me. It was incredibly delicious! Sweet in an unbelievable way, with juices in my mouth like a blend of different fruits. Although it looked strange, it was delicious, even its peel was moist, and its horns were like crispy bread."

"After finishing it, I began to feel dizzy. I fell to the ground, and a severe pain spread through my veins. I no longer felt the world around me and lost consciousness, only to wake up in a strange place. I was in front of a cell, and inside it was someone, but when I focused, I found out that it was not a gorilla, but a different kind of giant gorilla. Its body was torn and tattooed with strange symbols, and it had red eyes with a suffocating and wise aura. Before I could say anything, it opened its mouth, but I felt the sound in my mind, like a mechanical sound, but strange. 'You're finally here.'"

"I spoke with surprise, 'Do you know me?'

'I know you, I know you more than you know yourself,' came the response.

'Okay, then who are you?' I asked, waiting for an answer.

'I am just a being, I believe I am dead in your time. This is just a part of my will that I sealed in that fruit.'

'That fruit was delicious, do you have another one?'

'That fruit is not natural, it contains an enormous amount of energy that now belongs to you. You inherited it.'

'What kind of energy is that?'

'It is the energy of my remaining life in this part of my will, and it also contains every part of my skills. The energy of life is the fuel for all skills and everything.'

'So, who are you? I don't think I asked you.'

'It doesn't matter, but my title is the Monkey King. You must know who you are. You must know yourself to know your abilities and how much responsibility you have.'

'Okay,' I thought to myself, 'Monkey King, no, you look more like a gorilla, King Gorilla.'

'Well,' I continued out loud, 'what are these skills and how do I do them?'

The Monkey King's eyes flickered with a dim green light that Josaku didn't notice.

"We'll talk about that later. This is just a will, and I'mnot the one you should be talking to. You need to find my other traces, and until then, goodbye."

Suddenly, the scenery changed in front of me, and I found myself in a strange place. The sky was filled with countless paths, and I think they were endless. On the ground, there were strings, and each string produced a different sound from the others, and each string twisted and took on a different shape. The sound echoed and interacted with the paths, causing them to bend and change direction, and the paths produced waves of different frequencies. Each wave affected a specific string. What I deduced was that there was a cycle where everything affected each other. It was a strange world, and I didn't even think or wonder until the sound of the strings became so loud that my ears almost burst. I felt blood coming out of my eyes, ears, and even my hands. I thought I exploded when I lost consciousness.

I woke up and found myself in the natural world. For a moment, I thought my vision had improved. I didn't care about that, though. Memories of the body's past came back to me. The full name seemed to be Josaku Moriyati of the noble Moriyati family, living in Scaleirme. It became clear that he was a superhuman, and I didn't know what superhumans were. It wasn't mentioned in the memories.

I got up from the ground and continued walking untilsunset. I was tired from walking, and I heard several monster growls, so I stopped and wanted to climb a tree full of fruit to sleep in it. This would kill two birds with one stone: food and sleep. However, the opposite happened. I felt a strange sensation, and it was like a hundred needles were pricking my back at the same time. At the same time, several wolves appeared behind me. I was so scared that I didn't even look behind me, but that didn't stop me from knowing that their saliva was flowing. I took a position quickly. Due to the fear, my mind was only focused on one idea: to run away.

I ran at full speed, and I was shocked by how fast I was. In a moment, I was 200 meters away from them. I remembered what the Monkey King said, that I inherited a part of his power. So, I stopped and said to myself confidently, "Wasn't I a fighter before? Why am I afraid?"

I felt a power enveloping me, and I saw a sturdy tree trunk nearby. I grabbed it and headed towards the wolves. I wrapped the power around the trunk, and I heard a sound that reminded me of the strings. In my mind, a string formed, and I pulled it. At the same time, the attacking wolf lunged at me, and I aimed the stick at it.

"Boom!"

The wolf's head explodedinto pieces, and the other wolves took a step back in fear. I realized that I had just used a new skill, and it felt like second nature to me. I felt like I had been doing it for years.

As I stood there, catching my breath, I realized that I had a lot to learn about my newfound abilities. I needed to find more traces of the Monkey King and understand the full extent of my powers. I also needed to learn more about superhumans and the world I was living in.

With renewed determination, I continued my journey, ready to face any challenge that came my way.
