《Different》Prologue: The Fall
Advertisement
"Huff....Huff..."
The boy started breathing heavily while running as fast as he ever has in all his life through the forest. He had no doubt about it, his life was under a great threat and if he did not find shelter immediately he could die or become severely injured. Thin blue neon rays rained down the pitch black night sky that looked as if Zeus, the god of lightning him self had started launching thousands of solid thunder bolts to the earth attempting to wipe-out humanity.
The rays fell down at a great speed and dug their sharp blades right into the surface in which they landed on like arrows. The boy continued to run without looking back but it was only a matter of time before he reached his limit. He had been running for nearly a whole kilometer at full speed and he himself knew he was no athlete. He stopped for a moment to catch his breath.
"Huff.....Huff.....Dammit!"
He placed his hand on his chest and gripped it tightly and spoke.
"Hey....huff....I know it's been months.... since I made you work this hard before.....huff.....but..."
The boy looked down at his chest with a worried face as he leaned down from all the fatigue of running.
"Huff......we are both going to die if you don't push yourself beyond your limit..."
He then leaned back up straight and raised his head up slightly to the sky.
"Oh who am I kidding, when has my body ever let me go beyond my limits !?!?!"
The boy then reached for the left pocket of his brown trousers and slipped out his smartphone then stared down at the screen showing the current time and date.
"Ah it's 8:27 PM, at least now I will know the time I died haha.....LIKE HELL I WILL!!"

He slipped his phone back into his pocket and started to run once again while talking to himself in his thoughts
["Oh man......how did it come to this ?"]
He looked up at the sky again for a split second and then looked straight.
["How have none of them hit me yet ?"]
["Could it be that they are actually holograms and have been passing through me this whole time ?"]
He stopped for a moment as if he was willing and brave enough to find that answer out for himself.
One of the rays fell down at a enormous speed and went right passed the boys face while slitting some of his hair off like it were nothing and pierced its way through the solid ground. His eyes widened in shock.
["YEP THAT'S NOT LIKELY!"]
He took a leap away from the ray and started running now faster than ever. He eventually spotted a small glimpse of what looked like a large rocky boulder with a hole around the size of a van and stared at it with a surprised look on his face
["A cave maybe ? Could I really be saved !?!?"]
He started running towards it and jumped over a log in front of him with a somewhat joyful expression on his face and yelled.
"I'M SAVED!"
The boy started to reach closer and closer to the cave and after a couple of seconds he finally reached it but stopped just before entering to catch his breath.
"Huff....huff.....I did it!"
He raised his head up to the sky and put a huge grin on his face and shouted.
"HAHA YOU CAN'T GET ME YOU BLUE LITTLE PIECES OF SHI..."
At that moment a blue ray slightly brighter in color than the rest shot out of the sky at jet speed as if it had just been shot from a laser gun like the ones seen in sci-fi movies and pierced its way right into the boys right eye as blood splashed out of it like a bucket of paint exploding.

The boy no longer had a look of joy on his face. No it was more like....a look of terror.
His entire body was launched onto the ground with great force from the impact of the horrific ray now covered in his blood.
The boys mouth opened widely as he screamed from the bottom of his lungs to the very tip.
"AAAAAAAAAAUUGHHHHHHHHH....!!!!!!!"

The Pugilist
Vincent Roy Salazar has never been your common folk. He climbed any mountain he found in front of him. From a bright young student to an accomplished professor, his life can be described as a continuous race to the top of his chosen fields. Patriarch of a loving family, proud father of three already grown siblings, Roy realizes that his life is the perfect picture of what the average man strives for, and for that he is truly grateful. But happiness is a difficult-to-reach goal, and as he lies in a pool of his own blood, his fist cracked, a young lady crying while cradling his head, he remembers what really gave sense to his youth. Pure Unadulterated Violence The Pugilist wants to be a different take on isekai shenanigans. What would happen if instead of a moronic idiot, a depressed high schooler, or a wannabe hero the one to get his do-over is a fully grown man that has already seen what life has to offer in full? Someone who conformed himself to society, but has always craved something different? In a journey of self-discovery, academy building, god-slaying, and absolutely no harem we follow someone driven by logic, experience, and a smokey goal: to fuck shit up, have fun while doing so, and maybe resume his career as a professor for those strange, magic-wielding, unstable youths that seems to never get enough of his presence. Guys, a few notes, first of all, this is my first time writing long-form fiction. I have a background in psychology, and my main income comes from writing dreary financial articles on SEO blogs. But after a bad break-up, and finding myself falling asleep only while thinking of deus ex machina for stories on this site (and for APGTE) I decided to try my hand at this web series thingy. I'm confident in my grammar, but that's it. Everything else will be a first time, and as such any constructive criticism is encouraged and gratefully accepted. Now, on the story. Romance will be introduced once my little heart is mended, if you are scared of LGBT you may be turned off by the fact that I plan to have no taboo of any kind in my universe, but I won't ever write detailed sex scenes for any characters so don't worry too much. The litRPG part is very light and will take place later in the novel, but it's a key component nonetheless, for world-building and storyline reasons. I already have everything big planned out, so I won't drop it outta nowhere, and I hope you won't find too many flaws in how things pan out. I plan to make The Pugilist an interactive story, with secondary characters created by my audience and introduced after tweaks and careful planning. The main reason I'm writing this is that I want to build a community for myself in this time of isolation. I discovered that exercising, playing the piano or video games means jack-shit when you are utterly miserable, so I hope to give some value to my readers in exchange for praise, fame, money, and companionship. I give full props to anyone who has read this whole mess of a synopsis: I hope to not disappoint too much, now let's write some more steaming garbage that will be in dire need of editing later on.
