Sigma/News/??

He ended up training a great deal longer than he expected, but he just couldn't stop since his chakra was literally inexhaustible. He trained to his heart's content.

But it was almost night and his sister would go home in one hour or so as per her habitude thus he decided to stop for now.

With a quick hand sign, he used his recently learned jutsu he practiced to an almost risk-free degree and disappeared away, leaving behind but some leaf.

The speed at which he moved was still not up to his standard but he had no other choice but to go about it slowly. Though he wasn't worried as the more of the template he inherited the more of the experience of Raiden he would receive.

He made it back home in minutes and as he did. He dispelled the clones he left behind. As a result, he was assaulted by an intense stream of memory and experience.

It didn't fall to make his head hurt for a good 10 minutes but after that, he came back to his senses.

"Hm... the progress is quite good." He nodded to himself before getting rid of his clothes and going for a quick shower.

After which, he was going to take part in a quick online game but he received a message from the chat group.

[Epsilon has signed in]

[Epsilon: Say Alpha, I don't know if it's possible but I am curious.]

[Alpha has signed in]

[Alpha: What may you be curious about?]

[Epsilon: Do you think if I teach you magic from my world it would work in yours?]

[Alpha: If you teach a hunter, it may work. In my case it would be impossible since I don't have any mana.]

[Epsilon: So you also think that magical energy/mana from different worlds would be equalized?]

[Alpha: I am not sure, but It should be. In any case, there is no way to know before trying.]

[Epsilpon: I found out, that we could send not only messages but also knowledge and memories through the chat, so I was going to try and send you some of my knowledge of magic and see. I guess, it would be useless to you without mana.]

[Alpha: Thanks anyway, that was cool of you. But I also thought that human magic and devil magic was different in your world? You, devils, use magic with your imagination while humans rely on calculation.]

[Epsilon: You are right, but it's not as busted as it seems to be, the more ignorant you are about what you wish to do with our magic, the more demonic energy which is still mana by the way, but just with the devil attribute added to it. So some also learn human magic to make it more efficient. That's what I did.]

[Alpha: I see, guess I thought too highly of it. If it was really that op, the devil race would be at the top of your world.]

[Epsilon: Indeed. Excuse me to ask but I am curious in nature, but if you are not a hunter, did you join the group because you wished for power?]

[Alpha: Don't worry about it, and you are right. Was that not your case as well?]

[Epsilon: No, I wished to research more about magic, I wanted to create magic that could kill gods since I knew what was coming with Loki and his band.]

[Alpha: You mean like, God slayer magic from fairy tail?]

[Epsilon: Something like that, and that's what I ended up getting]

[Alpha: It seems like you won, the 'slaying' category magic from fairy tail is kinda powerful after, I bet it can rival devil household power.]

[Epsilon: It definitely can.]

[Epsilon: But I got a friend over, let's talk later.]

[Alpha: Okay, until next time.]

Being done with Epsilon for now, he sat down for a quick game on his PC, well it was supposed to be quick. Too entranced in the game he didn't even notice the time pass.

...

"Say sis, I've been wanting to ask you for a while already." Dokja suddenly asked as they watched the tv together.

"What is it about again?" She didn't even look away from the show.

"It's about your mana."

"Yeah?"

"Do you use it?"

"What do you mean by do you use it? You know I don't have any particular skills so, of course, I don't" She turned around to look at him with a look that said 'are you an idiot?'

Ignoring that completely, Dokja went to the point. "Why didn't you try to manipulate it? You may be able to do something with it."

"It's hard, like really hard, to manipulate raw magical energy requires considerable effort and concentration. That's why I and most people just let it be."

"I think, you should put some of your attention into that, it may make you stronger."

As she heard that, Heejin looked at her brother for a moment before thinking about it a bit more.

She didn't know why he suddenly bring out that subject, but there was no harm in trying, it was just a suggestion among others.

Perhaps he is just worried about him, and if she could reassure him by doing that much then it's fine. The life of a hunter is hard, she can't even imagine how worried he could be knowing his sister could lose her life any day.

Well in fact she could, that's why.

"Fine, then. What do you suggest?"

"That was what I was waiting for!" Dokja readjusted his glasses as he shut down the tv, much to the complaint of his sister.

"Hey, I was watching!"

"Not anymore!" He said as he pushed the board that was on the side before the tv.

"Now, We will be experimenting and studying mana!"

He would be using chakra as a reference along with his knowledge of mana from various books of fiction and see how much he could infer. This was going to be fun.

...

Another sunrise later, Dokja did as the day prior and created four shadow clones, he himself was gonna go out much like yesterday; when he received some notification.

[Sigma has signed in]

[Epsilon has signed in]

[Epsilon: Ho, I am not the newbie anymore. Welcome Sigma.]

[Alpha has signed in]

[Alpha: Welcome Sigma, where are you from?]

[Sigma: A newbie who? Where? I don't know what you are talking about, Epsilon.]

[Sigma: So, y'all are also admins right? I have read that we should cooperate.]

[Alpha: Indeed we are admins with us three there is only one missing.]

[Epsilon: Sigma, say, where are you from?]

[Sigma: Epsilon, before asking where someone comes from, shouldn't you give your location first?]

[Epsilon: I am from Lilith, the current capital of the satan territory in the underworld, now I live in kuoh in japan.]

[Alpha: I am from Korea and we are from different worlds by the way.]

[Sigma: I could tell that much because there is no japan or Korea in my current world.]

[Alpha: let me guess, isekai?]

[Sigma: Ding, we have a winner. Joke aside, I could tell that much, I am not unfamiliar with this dimensional chat group trope or whatever.]

[Epsilon: At least now, it's safe to say that all admins will have a pretty semblable situation. Isekaied, Familiar with Anime and stuff.]

[Sigma: To answer your former question, I am in Nanatsu no Taiza.]

[Alpha: Solo leveling.]

[Sigma: And Epsilon is from DxD.]

[Epsilon: Yes]

[Sigma: Accursed world of boobs. I would have liked to be in your place.]

[Epsilon: Of course, men gonna be men. You are all the same.]

[Alpha: So are you women.]

[Sigma: and women, still gonna shake for us.]

[Epsilon: Are you banding together to bully me?]

[Alpha: Words have consequences, you brought it upon yourself.]

[Sigma: Ignore her. Alpha, did your plot start?]

[Alpha: Not yet, what about you?]

[Epsilon: Mine did.]

[Sigma: shush Epsilon, Men are talking.]

[Sigma: It did, Elisabeth just entered the bar.]

[Epsilon:...]

[Alpha: do you plan to change the plot as well?]

[Sigma: You bet I am gonna do it, this is going to be exciting.]

[Alpha: Have fun then, I am gonna do the same anyway.]

[Sigma: But you don't really have the choice though, it's either that or bye-bye to your memories.]

[Alpha: That's right.]

[Sigma: We'll catch up later, I got things to do.]

[Alpha: Let's do that.]

[Sigma has signed out.]

[Epsilon: Y'all are just mean.]

[Epsilon has signed out.]

[Alpha has signed out.]

Seeing Epsilon's message Dokja just shook his head, it was her own doing that resulted in this anyway.

"Ho yeah, I almost forgot to check the news." He remembered after his conversation with Sigma just now.

He had been too excited by his new powers, that he didn't even take the time to think about the plot that could start at any moment.

"Ha." Was the only thing he could when after surfing on the net for a moment he fall upon an article dating from yesterday evening, it was about a strange dungeon from which only six of the seventeen hunters who had originally entered the dungeon survived.

"So it started after all." What timing, considering he just told Sigma that his plot didn't start yet, turns out it did and he was the one who didn't know about it.

"I should put more effort into my training." As he said, he turned around and saw his clones already going about their task.

"Hey guys, let's go up another level." They seemed to have understood and all made a sign at relatively the same time. Creating another clone each.

...

After leaving his clones' training at home, Dokja headed out of the house, he was a bit lost in his thought.

'Everything would have been much easier if I just awakened. I wish it happened. As he thought he stopped for a moment and looked around before sighing and resuming his walk.

"That's why I hate murphy, never here when we need him. When I become strong enough imma resurrect you and beat you up. Just wait." He whispered under his breath.

He knew he had no right to say that but he didn't care. That guy better prepares for his incoming.

Just as he thought his eyes widened and his body began glowing a deep blue. He felt strange as an unfamiliar stream of energy started entering his body. It was reinforcing him completely. He felt himself become stronger, his senses sharper, and even the world around him started slowing down.

The new energy started intertwining, combining, and fusing with his already existing chakra for some reason. Giving it a new nature altogether. It was like when Somone learned sage mode, but this was permanent.

"This, this strength... No way it worked!"
