Martial Arts Master
Martial Arts Master: An Academy Progression Fantasy
He's the only one without magic at a school for mages. That just makes him the most dangerous student.
Laku can't produce a spark of magic. In a world where the System connects every living person to power, he's a Zero, and the Vatariri execute Zeros on sight. His only weapon is Awakening, a forbidden martial art his missing grandfather spent twenty years drilling into his body. Now he's infiltrated Dzidzo Institute with a coded journal and three words of guidance: trust no one.
Ona is a hellhound shadow-scout who knows every hidden passage in the academy and needs someone strong enough to stand beside her. Aishe is his sheep-girl roommate, a magical theorist whose low-born talent hides a mind sharper than any mage's. Danai is a cat-girl library aide guarding restricted texts that could unlock Laku's next Awakening Discipline, if he earns her trust first.
The Vatariri have enforcers inside the walls. The Mentorate, an elite society of mages, wants Laku recruited, and recruitment means scrutiny. Every feat of Awakening risks exposing the one truth that would destroy everything: he has no magic at all.
Martial Arts Master 2: An Academy Progression Fantasy
He won the tournament without a spark of magic. Now the whole academy is hunting his secret.
Laku's victory earned him enemies, not allies. A diviner named Malik is probing his aura for proof. His rival Jenu is feeding every rumor to the Vatariri, who execute Zeros on sight. And the coded journal his missing grandfather left behind leads to forbidden Awakening knowledge hidden beneath the academy — if Laku can follow the trail before his secret breaks.
Ona, his hellhound shadow-scout partner, knows every hidden passage under the campus and fights like the predator she is. Danai, a cat-girl library aide, can crack the containment spells guarding the Forgotten Library's lost texts. Aishe, his sheep-girl roommate, is turning her theoretical genius toward mastering the forbidden martial art that could save them all.
When the Vatariri send enforcers with kill orders and lock down the campus, the only safe place is underground. Every student who practiced Awakening is now a target, and the trail to Laku's grandfather leads straight into enemy territory.
Martial arts cultivation meets academy survival and a deepening monster-girl harem. Forbidden Disciplines, desperate combat, and bonds forged under fire.
Martial Arts Master 3: An Academy Progression Fantasy
His secret is out. The Vatariri's deadliest enforcer just locked down the academy to find him.
Laku pulled his grandfather out of Vatariri custody, but Senai came back broken. He can't fight, can't train, and the knowledge that could heal him is locked behind wards only Headmaster Nakai can open. Nakai is imprisoned in her own office, being interrogated by a battle-mage who terrifies even Senai. If she breaks, she'll give up the Forgotten Library's location, and everyone hiding inside it dies.
Ona, his hellhound shadow-scout, can slip unseen through the tunnels beneath campus. Danai, his cat-girl research partner, is cracking encrypted texts that could unlock forbidden Disciplines. Aishe, his sheep-girl theorist, is turning Awakening theory into weapons the Vatariri have never faced. Tariro, the fox-woman professor who trained him, has stopped teaching and started fighting.
He has days, not weeks. Ancient artifacts, forbidden Disciplines, and every edge his partners can find. If Laku fails, the Vatariri destroy Awakening and everyone who practiced it.
