  ***

  Taking deep breaths in and breathing out through his mouth Levi filtered all outside noises and distras, fog only on his breath as he quickly entered into a meditative state losing track of time.

  In this state he could feel that he could project his sciousness into the spirit realm at any moment, an ability most would spend their whole lives without being able to learn, but that wasn’t his goal today, his goal was to level up his meditation ability.

  ***

  In the halls of the royal paashu, a single earth bender was walking in front with the group of three and Momo following closely behind him, they all had slightly nervous expressions on their faces, except for Momo who was curiously looking around.

  On both sides of the hallway were guards lining up every few steps, some unarmed obviously earth benders, and some holding spears or swords at their waist, even at the entrand the streets outside there were a lot of guards roaming around.

  “Call me crazy but isn’t the security here....a little bit too much.” said Sokka in bewilderment as he looked at all the guards.

  “A little is an uatement, st time I was here it wasn’t like this, plus there were lookouts on the walls, they never did that before.” said Aang frowning his brows.

  “It must be because of Levi.” said Katara with a little hint of worry in her voice as they finally reached the throne room.

  ***

  Levi was still sitting cross-legged in the room Bumi had left him in, his breathing was calm and steady, if somebody with seismise was around they’d also be able to hear his heart beating in rhythm with his breath, his mind was empty of all distras.

  He didn’t know how long he had been like that, whenever he entered a state of deep meditation he would always lose track of time, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t aware of his surroundings, if anybody po sneak up on him they would surely regret it.

  ‘Ha-ah, I guess I'm not as close as I thought to level up.’ thought Levi sighing, but he wasn't disced he would keep trying, sooner or ter he would get there.

  Opening his eyes Levi was about to get up and explore the pace a little when his eyes went wide in shock. He was floating above the ground but he hadn't even noticed when that had happened.

  Just as he looked down and was about to desd he received another shock, his entire body was transparent, looking at his hands he could see the ground through them.

  ‘What is happening, did I die?’ Levi couldn’t help but think of the worst possibility.

  Turning around his heart fell as he saw the se in front of him, a handsome-looking young adult with a robust and strong body, a square runniically over his left eyebrow endih his eye donning Southern water tribe clothes, it was him, it was his body.

  ‘How? How could this happen? What had happened?’ thought Levi, his face turning dark, as he examined his body he didn't notiy injury or or something that indicated that he was attacked.

  Just as his thoughts were starting to spiral dowiced a thin almost invisible thread of light ected to the top of his physical body’s head, trag said thread he traced it back all the way to the top of his current body’s head, eg both bodies together.

  ‘Wait a sed, Don’t tell me…’ Levi couldn’t help but remember something he had read in his previous world, and he was almost certain that was what he was experieng now.

  He couldn't help but feel a sense of relief rush over him as he uood what was going on, he was worried about what would happen to his family once he was go now it seemed he had worried for nothing, ‘If…When I leave this world I o make sure they are taken care of.’ thought Levi remembering his siblings.

  The moment the image of his brother and sister appeared in his mind his vision blurred and at the moment he found himself floating inside of a big spacious throne room.

  Levi was shocked and disoriented for a sed before he regained his senses, in front of him were Aang, Sokka, and Katara surrounded by earth benders on all sides and in front of them on a big thro Bumi in greeh nation royal robes.

  ‘It seems I use some kind of teleportation power in this state.’ thought Levi as he looked around him.

  “AHHHHH WHAT IS THAT.” screamed Bumi at the top of his lungs as he sat up and pointed behind the group of three, startling everyone ihrone room, although there was no hint of fear or pani his voice.

  The earth benders immediately surrounded Bumi in the ter as the group of three turned behind them in panic taking fighting stances but nothing was there, everyone was fused.

  “Your majesty?” asked ahbender from the side as he turned his head towards Bumi.

  “Ahem, it’s nothing, I just saw the ghost of a friend.” said Bumi as if it were the most normal thing in the world, sinobody could see him, not even the avatar, he saw no point in expining.

  “A ghost.” Sokka couldn’t help but have goosebumps as he started frantically looking around, Aang and Katara though were more bewildered than afraid.

  As for the earth benders, after hearing Bumi’s expnation they just heir heads in uanding and resumed their duties as if nothing just happehey were used to their king’s antics.

  Levi oher hand was surprised Bumi could see him, he knew Iroh could as he had seen Aang riding Ruko’s dragon in the show but Bumi was a surprise for him.

  ‘ all members of the white lotus detect spirits.’ he couldn’t help but wonder.

  “So you’re that guy's friends heh? Levi was his name wasn’t it?’ asked Bumi in an enigmatiaking the group of three frown.

  “Yes that's right, where is my brother?” asked Sokka his to carrying any hint of respee should show for a king making some of the guards frown.

  “Oh, o worry about him, he is closer than you think, I am sure he is watg over us now, from a pce high above.” said Bumi, his smile spreading to his ears.

  “You bastard, what did you do to my brother? I’ll beat it out of you” shouted Sokka, but he didn’t rush or try to attack the king, Levi had made sure to teach him more than basibat and trolling his temper was one of the lessons, although when it came to his urained mouth and rich vocabury Levi was helpless on that front.

  “Oh quit the feisty one aren’t you hehehe.” said Bumi ughing, not taking him seriously at all.

  Hearing Bumi py around with them Levi could only shake his head helplessly, he had agreed to this after all, he couldn't go ba his word. He thought he liked to mess with people but Bumi took it to a whole other level.

  Shaking his head, Levi waved Bumi goodbye and turned around to leave, he still had other things to try while in this state.

  “Alright goodbye, see you ter.” said Bumi waving back, making everyone in the hall except the guards look at him weirdly.

  “Who are you talking to?” asked Aang as he turned around, for a split sed he thought he saw the silhouette of a person floating away from them before he blinked and the figure disappeared.

  “Oh I am fine I was just waving goodbye to the ghost of your friend Levi. He just left the room hahaha.” said Bumi before he burst out ughing. As if he told some kind of joke only he uood.

  “You bastard.” This time Sokka couldn’t hold his anger any longer as he rushed at Bumi, sadly for him the ground turned into mud and stopped him in his tracks.

  ***

  High above in the sky of Omashu.

  Levi levitated there looking down at the city, his senses were still the same as that of his physical body.

  ‘So no enhanced sensory perceptions, check.’ thought Levi, pleting another one of his tests before looking down at the almost invisible cord ing from the pace.

  ‘There also doesn't seem to be a distance limit for now at least, also check.’ thought Levi, he couldn’t help but think of how good this ability would be for espio was in fact perfect for it, he could just be in the same room as the enemy leader and like that he would know all their pns.

  ‘I wohough, how far I go, is there really no distance limit.’ thought Levi, deg to try it.

  ***

  Southern water tribe

  It was a usual day with everybody going about their business, kids were running and pying around, the men were out fishing and the guards were on patrols, everybody was doing their jobs and living in harmony.

  High in the sky Levi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, he looked around before a smile formed on his lips.

  ‘Very ve.’ thought Levi, happy with his new ability.

  Deg to finish what he came here to do Levi floated down towards the tribe, but before he could get very far his expression twisted as he froze ihe momeouched the ground, he couldn't move a single muscle on his body, he couldn’t even turn his head around.

  He felt that he could teleport bato his body but that was it.

  ‘What the hell is going on?’ Thought Levi with a slight hint of panic, his heart couldn’t help but ch, his dad and master were still iribe, he couldn’t help but worry that something might have happeo them.

  Soon there were hurried footsteps as a man with white hair appeared in his line of sight as if telep, both men looked at each other in shock before speaking.

  “Tobirama?”

  “Master Levi?”

  “You see me?.” asked Levi in shock as he noticed this detail, he kobirama rodigy but he didn’t think that he would be able to spot spirits also.

  “Yes, I mastered it a few years back.” said Tobirama pinly.

  ‘Of course you did.’ Levi couldn’t help but think, feeling a little bit annoyed inside, but he didn’t voice it out loud.

  “Sorry, let me undo the seals.” said Tobirama, as if suddenly remembering something before he made quick hand signs and immediately after Levi felt the restraints on him disappear and he could move again.

  “That was your doing?” asked Levi, clearly impressed.

  “Yes, after I mastered the ability to i with spirits years ago I developed seals that bind and hold them in pd I thought it would be a good idea to put them around the tribe.” replied Tobirama.

  “I see.” said Levi in a pin to deep down he was a little bit annoyed, ‘Is this fucker perfect?’ he couldn’t help but wonder.

  “Anyhow, I am here on some business, you go back to what you were doing.” said Levi waving his hand around dismissing Tobirama who nodded before he disappeared in a burst of speed.

  Levi noticed some people around looking at Tobirama weirdly, some even threw a casual remark here and there, ‘o self, alk to spirits in public pces or you'll be beled as crazy.’ thought Levi as he floated towards his objective.

  Now that he knew what was holding him were seals he realized he could have gotten out of them anytime he wanted, his spirit body sub-abilities were still w just fine so he could have just purified the seals on him or even sealed the seals themselves.

  Soon Levi spotted his objective, an old man sitting on a wooden chair fag the o with a fishing rod in his hand and ay bucket filled only with water beside him. He seemed to be at peace as he rexed and ehe cool sea breeze.

  It was his master, Tenzin, Levi’s pne was betting on the fact that Tenzin would be able to spot and hear him like all other members of the white lotus he had met so far.

  ‘Time to get my revehought Levi, smiling deviously as he approached him from behind, this time unlike wheried to sneak up on Bumi Tenzin didn’t feel anything as Levi reached right behind him.

  Taking a deep “breath” in, Levi screamed at the top of his lungs, “BOOOO.”

  For an old man people would think Tenzin wasn’t that agile, but they will soon e tret it sourly, as Tenzin jumped forward in shock before he quickly regained his bearings when he fell into the cold o water, immediately after water tentacles leaped out of the water and struck the pce Levi assing right through him.

  This all happened ihan a sed showing the old man was still stroe his old age.

  Seeing his attack pass right through his assaint and seeing the face of the one who had almost made his heart stop ienzin was shocked for words, he didn’t know what to say.

  “Hehe, still suck at fishing I see, this was nothing but an appetizer, ime think twice before scamming me of my tea.” said Levi as his body disappeared leaving Tenzin shocked.

  ***

  Ba Omashu

  Levi appeared ihe room his physical body was meditating in.

  As he did so he couldn't help but frown as he noticed a dowo this ability he hadn't before, while using it his physical body was basically defenseless.

  ‘Well I still Have Aologia and my other bond spirits to guard me.’ thought Levi reassuring himself.

  ‘Now, there is one final thing I o test.’

  ‘System? ‘

  [Yes user?]

  Hearing the meical voice of the system Levi couldn’t help but smile, now that he khe system was still accessible even while in this state his tests were done.

  Willing to get bato his physical body Levi’s vision blurred for a sed and when he opened his eyes again he found himself sitting cross-legged, he was ba his physical body.

  “That was certainly an experience.” he said, taking a deep breath.

  “Sir, Did you call?” came a voice from outside as ahbender appeared at the door.

  “Nothing, I was just talking to myself.” said Levi waving his hand dismissing him.

  “Of course, excuse me sir.” said the earthbender before leaving.

  Levi was lost for words for a sed at how these earth benders seemed to accept anything you tell them, even when Bumi said he was talking to ghosts they didn’t question it much.

  Shaking his head, Levi decided tet about it as he looked at his notifications, and just as he had expected meditation had reached level 20 and he had unlocked a new meditation sub-ability.

  [Ding]

  [Meditationed leveled up +1]

  [Meditation reached level 20]

  [Meditation sub ability -Astral proje- unlocked]

  [Astral proje (Active) - Level MAX: the ability to project your astral form outside your body.]

  ‘As expected.’ thought Levi, he had figured it out halfway through his journey but it was o get a firmation.

  “Not bad, Not bad at all.” he muttered smiling, he was in a good mood.

  “Sir if you may, the king is asking to meet with you.” came the voice of the earthbe the door.

  “Alright, lead the way.” replied Levi as he followed right behind him.
