Fantasy Assassin in a modern world

Chapter 147: What to do?

The days went by quite fast as Loki trained his body to withstand poisons. Knowing that he wouldn’t be able to build up the immunity he wanted using his normal training method, Loki changed the way he trained. Instead of waiting for his body to be able to gain immunity, he was training himself to unconsciously purge any poison that was inflicted on him.

The idea was to repeatedly purge whatever toxins he had in the body using a combination of inner energy and mana without even thinking about it. Loki was hoping that this would be the same as muscle memory where when you do it enough times he would reach a point where he would do so without even thinking about it, like a reflex. So far the only thing that he achieved was to lessen the amount of spiritual energy needed to perform the detoxification. Still, it was progress nonetheless.

...

When Loki woke up on Sunday he was about to get ready for another day of training when he suddenly remembered something.

‘Wait... Sunday... Oh, sh*t, isn’t today the day I was supposed to go out with Matsuri, Alisa, and Liam. Whew, good thing I remembered it early. I guess no training for today... Still, I haven’t planned for anything today... Tsk, better see what kind of activities we could do.’

Loki looked at the clock, it was around four in the morning. He still had ample time to prepare for the outing. Loki turned on his laptop and started looking for things to do in Leim City on a Sunday.

As he was searching through the internet Loki couldn’t help but sigh. When he first arrived in this world he was continuously surprised by so many things. It took quite some time to understand how to use most of the stuff. If not for the old Loki’s memories being passed down to him, he didn’t know how long it would’ve taken him to understand how to use the most basic things in this world.

.....

‘I already gained a lot of the memories of the former Loki, but even now there are still some locked memories. I still have no idea about Loki’s family aside from his siblings, but I do somehow remember the faces of his parents... Unfortunately, even now I can’t remember anything about Loki’s grandparents on either side. Then there’s the cause of the accident, I still can’t get a clear picture of the events of that day. There are also some minor memories like who was Loki’s first crush and such that I can’t remember... Damn, I better stop thinking about that for now, I gotta focus.’

...

After surfing the web, Loki had narrowed his options down to three choices, going to the movies, to an amusement park, and going to a zoo. Loki was very interested in these three things. He wanted to go to the zoo since he hasn’t been to any and had only seen the animals of this world through a screen.

The animals in this world had some similarities to the animals in his old world, but of course, what he was interested in were the differences. In this world, there were no supreme beasts like the ones in his old world. Instead, in this world, there were the so-called Gigantes.

The Gigantes were powerful beasts of incredible size, and like the martial artists of old, the Gigantes were once hailed as Gods. Yet nowadays they were treated as subjects for study or entertainment. You would almost always see them as some monster in video games.

The most troublesome of the Gigantes were the ones that could fly. The military was always on high alert for the movement of any flying Gigantes and would either kill it or if that is not possible repel the flying monstrosities before they could reach any human settlement.

Loki was truly interested in seeing one of these Gigantes and as luck would have it, the zoo in Leim City has one in captivity as their main attraction. This is why going to the zoo was one of his choices.

...

There was also the amusement park which he also has only seen on screen. The place was supposedly a place for fun and games, where people could go on thrilling rides. It said on their official website that the amusement park offers rides for normal citizens as well as for martial artists.

Seeing as martial artists wouldn’t be thrilled by any ordinary rides, it seems that they had created even more dangerous rides specifically for martial artists. Of course, Loki could not ride those rides as a martial artist if he went to the amusement park since he would be with Matsuri a non-martial artist. Still, even riding the normal rides would be quite the experience since he has never tried it. He had the memories of the former Loki going to an amusement park, but those were just memories that weren’t even his.

...

Then finally there was going to watch a movie. Even though Loki had already streamed various movies on his laptop and watched a bit on the T.V but he has never been to the theatre before. Not to mention there was a movie that was showing today which he was rather interested in.

The movie was about ancient martial artists. Seeing as it was a movie, obviously, there will be discrepancies and exaggerations compared to the truth, but Loki was still interested in seeing what these so-called ancient martial artists could do.

Based solely on what he read in various books, he could only imagine what an ancient martial artist was capable of. If he compared it to someone from his old world, ancient martial artists should be slightly weaker than the legendary mages of old. It was said the mages in the era of the Gods could control mana to such a high degree that they could tamper with fate itself. As for the ancient martial artist, the most they could do was control the elements of the world.

‘Well, it’s no use comparing them, since I haven’t seen an ancient martial artist much less a legendary mage... Gotta stay focused, which one should we do today? Go to the zoo, have fun in the amusement park or watch a movie?’
