One week later.
Sai was sitting on white blanket surrounded by sheep.
Baa! Baa! Baa!
The sheep were forever present in the Fairy Community. Just like the nice weather with no clouds in sight.
Sai manga studio was equipped with a wooden board, inkless pen and a notebook. A wooden board was used as a desk so that his notebook would be on a flat, stable and hard surface. His smartphone was turned on and showed the manga page he was trying to draw.
Sai's entire focus was trying to painstakingly recreate the image on the phone. He learned if ever made a single mistake he couldn’t erase it and would need to restart from scratch.
Minutes would turn to hours. Hours would turn to days. Sai hand would move steadily to draw every line until the image was complete.
“It's finally complete,” Sai said as he placed his pen down from his notepad. He wiped the sweat off his head.
His dream of spreading the joy of manga through the world was being realized.
Trying to recreate one of the best selling serialized manga in the world was an arduous and painful journey.
Sai was trying to recreate the One Piece manga.
There were many reasons he chose this famous manga.
He loved the big three Naruto, Bleach and One Piece. Nonetheless each had flaws.
Bleach has a storyline that resembles the xianxia novels in both storytelling and power scaling.
Naruto the way the ending and how it handled its final villain was hot garbage.
One Piece is the best manga to introduce to a new audience. Fun to read for kids and having adult messages. It was hard to find a flaw in One Piece.
As Sai flipped through his notebook and looked at his own version of One Piece. He came to a horrifying conclusion.
“I’m a terrible manga artist,” Sai realized. His talent in artistry resembles the Homestuck art style.
Sai studied his manga with critical eyes, the lines were lopsided and the proportions were wrong. Kishimoto was a mangaka that had years of experience and a master in his craft.
Sai didn’t have the experience or level of talent.
He spent hours and days working on copying the masterpiece of One Piece. His blood, sweat and tears were drawn on these pages.
A stranger that hasn’t read One Piece would say that the Sai finish product was a good start. However Sai has witnessed a masterpiece that touched his very soul. He desperately wanted to recreate it.
There were two roads he could go down. To continue drawing manga. Or give up.
A bitter feeling bloomed in his heart. Imagining a world without the joy of manga.
“My end goal is to spread manga to this new world,” Sai said as he stood up. He already made a decision. “If I can’t recreate this manga. Then I will find someone that can.”
----
Sai was heading toward Rowana workshop. Normally Rowana would be busy creating poison at her workshop or hunting Magic Orbs in the Dungeon.
Clarissa was flying toward Sai quite fast.
Her friends was chasing after her.
“I found you! I made a breakthrough in my research!” Clarissa said happily as she basically bulldozed and hugged Sai.
Sai was sturdy enough to catch the fairy and not fall over.
Clarissa was a mess, her clothes had burned marks, soot stains and green spots were on her face and dress.
Natalia, Vanetina and Juliana halted their chase
“She definitely has the will of a warrior,” Natalia said.
“Oh they got closer,” Valentina said slyly.
“This should prove interesting,” Juliana said.
Clarissa moved away from Sai and pulled out a mutant apple that had a demonic aura covering it.
The mutant apple was colored black and looked like someone frankensteined three apples together. It was so large you needed two hands to hold it.
Clarissa beamed proudly at her creations. “I've been working hard to improve the Sour Apples. So I used alchemy to fuse them together. Now do me the honor of eating the new and approved Sour Apples!”
Sai shook his head. “Why not try it yourself.”
“Sour Apples taste awful. I don’t think I can stomach eating one,” Clarissa confessed. “Please trust me and eat the fruits of my labor.”
Sai looked at the mutant Sour Apple and then looked at Clarissa's exhausted appearance. The demonic aura was already indicating that it was dangerous.
‘Clarissa. You must have worked hard to make this, ’ Sai thought as he took the mutant Sour Apple. ‘Why is that I’ve been eating a lot of weird things when I came to this world? The Sour Apples and all the poison Rowana make me drink.’
Stealing his resolve. Sai took a bite of Mutant Sour Apple. He chewed it and tasted the familiar tortuous taste of evil and then swallowed it.
Thump!
Sai dropped the Mutant Sour Apples onto the ground.
Swish.
The hair on Sai's head began to shed. The wind carried the hair strands into the air as it sprinkled the ground.
Sai's eyes was tearing up. He could feel he was dying. Sai saw that Clarissa's expression was morphing into shock.
^_^
Sai gave her a bright smile and said his final words. “Thanks for the memories.”
Thud!
Sai's body moved forward as his body slammed into the ground, his face becoming buried in the earth.
O_O
Clarissa was tearing and pulling her hair. “Sai?!?!” Clarissa shrieked loudly.
O_o
Natalia moved forward and started to move Sai's body. “Quick, we need to bury the body! Where can we find a shovel!?”
O_o
Valentina started to shake Clarissa. “I trusted you!? Why are you sinking my ship!? I have to redo my shipping map Clarissa!”
-_-
Juliana shook her head and mumbled, “Morons.”
----
Sai reached Rowana’s workshop, when he found Rowana pouring unknown liquids into vials.
O_O
Rowana turned into shock when she saw Sai conditions.
Rowana asked a question to her godchild. “What happened to your hair?”
Sai has become bald.
T_T
“I wanted a new haircut,” Sai said, feeling that he was crying inside. He was definitely going to have a long chat with Clarissa.
Rowana nodded her head, she took out the mithril sword and a bowl. “Since your already here. Can I take a blood sample?”
Sai offered his hand forward. “Go ahead.”
Rowana slashed her sword and made a tiny cut on Sai’s arm. Rowana collected Sai’s blood drops in the bowl and started to examine the blood sample.
Sai waited patiently for the result.
Rowana seems pleased. “Have you been drinking the White Spotted Chrysanthemum Poison everyday?”
Sai didn’t like the Chrysanthemum Poison, he loved it! Sai said very seriously. “I need more. I drink it like water.”
“I think there's something wrong with your taste buds,” Rowana pulled out a green liquid vial. “This is a vial of Abyssal Pufferfish Poison. Your going to be very familiar with this poison for the rest of your life.”
Rowana handed Sai the vial and instructed him. “You are going to need to build a resistance to this poison. So be sure to drink it once a day. A single drop could end over 100 of human lives. It causes heart attacks and muscle paralyzation. In the past, this was one of the most effective poisons to use against demons. I recommend that you go ahead and drink it.”
Sai nodded his head and drank the vial Abyssal Pufferfish Poison. Sai couldn’t really describe the taste in words. Maybe fishy?
Rowana seemed pleased. “Good, good. I have a gift for you.”
Rowana took out a small vase with a dark pufferfish design. “This is an enchanted item that can hold 100,000 gallons of liquid. I was able to completely fill it with Abyssal Pufferfish Poison. It is called the Greedy Vase!”
Sai took the Greedy Vase and looked inside and saw it was empty. “How does it work?”
“It creates a Portal to an enclosed pool that is located in the Fairy Garden. If you want to use the poison inside the Greedy Vase, first concentrate your mana into the Greedy Vase to create the Portal. Then pull the poison out.”
Sai concentrated his mana into the Greedy Vase. The bottom of the vase was now green. He assumes that the portal was created. With a pull, a ball of poison was in the air.
“This is wild,” Sai admitted, he tapped the vase to check out how sturdy it was. “Not to sound ungrateful. But wouldn’t a Kibisis be more useful?”
Rowana shook her head. “It works with different principles. The Kibisis seals the item and to unseal you will need to remember the order that you seal them in. Imagine you have a numbers list and you place an item on that corresponding number. Can you remember which number unseals which item? You need a perfect memory to use a Kibisis. If you have a Mind attribute of 30 points or higher you will be able to remember the order.”
Sai nodded, “So it has a key and value pairing like a map. You really are thoughtful Rowana. You called it the Greedy Vase, I will use it well.”
Rowana nodded, “That’s good to know. Just tell me if you ever need the Greedy Vase refilled. I will get it done.”
“Will do,” Sai agreed. “By the way, can I go to the city? I want to find an artist.”
Rowana thought for a moment and had a smile that terrified Sai. “Actually maybe we can have a training session using your new Greedy Vase. I will love to see how skilled your Poison Magic Art improves with your Magic Affinity.”
“Your not letting me escape from this are you...”
“I am inevitable.”
----
Rowana had taken Sai to a remote location with no one present.
Rowana moved across the grassy field from Sai and pulled out a yellow poison from her Kibisis. The yellow poison would float like a cloud behind Rowana.
Sai had his Greedy Jar tied to a skinny rope and he wore it like a shoulder strap and had it on his left hip.
He pulled out the Abyssal Pufferfish Poison from his Greedy Jar and made eight sharp needles.
Rowana smiled and then proclaimed loudly, “Use every method you can to hit me. Begin the battle!”
Sai launched his green poison to Rowana. “Needle missiles go!”
Rowana made a yellow whirlpool that gently spinned in the air. The green poison was caught in the current.
Rowana then launched a huge web of yellow poison at Sai.
Sai started to run away from the approaching attack. Trying not to get hit by the poison web.
The poison web changed direction and hunted Sai down.
Sai was running, but he was easily caught by the poison web. The web wrapped around Sai's body and made him clumsily fall to the ground.
“Help,” Sai said as he wiggled like a caterpillar on the ground. Sai would taste the yellow poison and discover something shocking. “This is honey.”
Rowana was using honey to fight.
Rowana grinned and said. “Use poison to fight poison.”
Sai used his strength to loosen the web and touch his Greedy Jar to summon more Pufferfish Poison to wash off the honey web that he was tangled with.
Rowana nodded her head. “For your Magic Art, imagination is important,” She held her hand forward as a glob of honey moved to the palm of her hand as she narrated.
“A weapon to cut down your enemies,” The honey turned into a majestic sword.
“More blunt force damage,” The honey sword turned into a two head ax.
“For more reach,” The honey sword turned into a spear.
“An efficant weapon to deliver poison to the most enemies,” The spear turned into thousands of sharp needles.
Rowana summoned more honey and created various weapons, swords, spears, axes, daggers, needles, shuriken, and shields. “Magic Art is a tool. It matters how you use it.”
Sai had to admit, “You really are incredible.”
“Are you ready to continue the battle?”
“Nah,” Sai slumped to the ground. “I don’t think I have a lot of mana to continue. Using the Greedy Vase and manipulating the poison is a little too much for me.”
“I can solve that,” Rowana took out a blue brick and placed it in front of Sai. She then started to pull out more blue bricks and started to stack them in a column. A tower of blue bricks was sitting in front of Sai with exactly ten blue bricks. Rowana then said. “Recharge your mana using the Blue Mana Crystal. This should be enough to recharge a single point of mana.”
“How do you-?” Sai touched the blue brick and started passively absorbing the mana from the Blue Mana Crystal before he could even ask the question. Sai sighed and shook his head like he couldn’t believe it. Soon Sai summoned his Pufferfish Poison and created a green katana. “Your so demanding.”
“Hit me with everything you have!” Rowana said as she launched her attack.
Sai would try his best to strike Rowana with his attacks and defend from the onslaught of honey attacks.
Sai and Rowana would continue to do practice fights for the rest of the day.
Sai would later be super sticky from being hit by so many honey attacks. Much to his dismay.
