Hi everyone, I have had a few ideas I've been wanting to make true for a while now, though one aspect of it that I require references of is stories that does freerunning, parkour or whatever, as long as it is detailed and precise and concise.

For example, Deku Midoriya from MHA chasing some guy in one of the movies(?) or Vi from Arcane (LOL), jumping across rooftops and hoola hoops and so on.

Is there anything like that on this site or others? If there is, I'd appreciate it if you could link me to one with English and/or Indonesian translation.

It's hard to capture well with just text (and I've even tried a little). Closest I've seen to capturing the feel were the reindeer games scenes in I Applied for a Delivery Job and Got Turned into a Flying Reindeer?! | Scribble Hub (chapters 15-19 and then 2 of book two) - but that's "free flying" not "free running".
Works better with some graphics, either in comic book/manga/etc. form or in animation/live action (though it does not ALWAYS work in live action - there was a movie a few years ago where every review had a line like 'it is hard to imagine making parkour boring but this director did')

Damn, that's quite a shame, 'cause I feel like parkour and freerunning is too underused for how cool of a concept it is. Thanks for replying and for the recommendations, my guy.

It's not quite the same as what you're asking about (I also haven't posted it on SH yet) but the MC in Juryokine has gravity manipulation powers, so he's constantly jumping from the floor, to the walls, to the ceiling, etc, generally trying to stay as mobile and hard to hit as possible. There are a couple parkour/freerunning segments, but it's mostly used for combat.

Knowledge comes but wisdom linger is MHA fic with some parkour. the MC is someone with a teleporting power but train extensively on parkour because it's useful, and also using it from times to times. but it's not the focus and just a small part of the story.
