Ghost's Passage ☆☆☆(Progressible)

A stealth Art created by Wanderer Isaac, capable of hiding the user from all the senses of a human. Essentially becoming a Ghost, it's believed the last thing a victim of the user feels is a cold breeze before being met with darkness. And most terrifyingly, its potential is limitless.

CAUTION!: This Art is extremely risky, as one must be in a deathly state to use it.

1st Passage: N/A

Eight Inner Gates ☆☆☆☆

If they interested him, he'd read the synopsis provided, since the real book was stored in private. These were nothing but basic information on the Art.

'Fishman Karate? Not my style. Jeet Kune Do? Sounds like something from a movie. Basic Taijutsu? I can't imagine that's any more useful than my level 5 Hand-to-Hand.'

Isaac had found countless Combat Arts. From Arts he was familiar with like Grappling, Judo and even extreme street fighting techniques, all the way to a sword style...that required no sword.

'Hamon? It isn't any better than Nen in terms of power and versatility. Concentration breathing? Again, I'll have a better result with Ren...where am I?'

As Isaac proceeded, not finding anything he particularly thought to be eye-catching, he'd become so hooked that he hadn't noticed he started to move into the 'Special Abilities' Category.

Looking around, he found he was alone in his lane.

[Are you done? If so, check that book next. Then we can head over to the magic section.]

Isaac noticed the tranquil and melodic voice enter his ears as Merlin hopped onto his shoulder.

[I thought you had a telepathic reading or something.]

Isaac questioned. He knew once he started to entertain Merlin's curiosity it was a downward spiral that he'd never escape.

[It's called my Merlinpedia. I created it for the convenience of not having to worry about your friends and passersby who'd find it suspicious seeing a cat reading a book.]

Isaac raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

[Pedia? Like Wikipedia?]

[Yes. I've dedicated my studies to not only Spawn but the history and geography of the outside world also. I was quite surprised to notice how developed it was compared to my Verse.]

Merlin was highly intrigued by what she found. Her name was recognised by humans on earth, but only as a myth and a man.

Additionally, it seemed that the time period in her Verse ended centuries ago.

[Camelot is no more and Brittania has changed its name. The Merlinpedia allows me to store books in a pocket dimension and read them in my mind at rapid speeds. Though it is only a prototype, I soon wish to gain every knowledge on a book sent there instantly.]

Isaac raised both eyebrows upon hearing this, turning his head and staring at Merlin.

[Hey, that's pretty cool. You think I can get in on this Merlinpedia?]

Isaac didn't need to sleep, which meant unlike regular Inheritors, he could always be productive.

But he usually dedicated his nights to studying verses with Merlin.

If he had access to the Merlinpedia, he could use this time to do something else.

However, upon Isaac asking this, Merlin grinned mischievously.

[Of course, but it won't be for free. And since I have no value for money, you can repay me with your services.]

Isaac stared, frozen as his mind raced.

[What kind of services are we talking about here? Because you are a Cat, after all.]

Merlin nodded.

[Exactly. Which is why I can't be seen walking through libraries and Art stores alone, you know this.]

Isaac snapped back to his usual self as he cleared his throat and nodded vigorously.

[Yes, yes, I do know. That's exactly what I was thinking as well.]

Despite Merlin peering at Isaac from the corner of her eye, she turned back to a certain direction in the store as she pointed.

[I believe the Magic section is that way. Take us there at once, my humble chauffeur.]

Merlin announced in a triumphant tone as if she were a king conquering a land.

Meanwhile, Isaac ground his teeth as he prepared to walk, but came to a stop, a figure catching his eye.

Not too far away from him was a boy his age. With long hair that resembled a bird's nest and a bulky frame, Cain flipped through the pages of a few Art books Isaac had just passed.

However, it wasn't long until Cain noticed him as their eyes met and neither individual spoke.

Additionally, Isaac's attention was deviated as he noticed a third individual walk around the corner.

Lucy, the usual cold and unapproachable aura surrounding her, paused, looking straight toward Isaac as the boy's mind raced, a single thought repeating.

'Why the f*ck do I keep finding myself in these situations.'
