Notes: Sorry if some things are a bit off in a sense. I'm just not good in writing a game type format for things...
Anyway, I do hope you guys like it.
Chapter 3: First Few Days
Harry was now awake. Observing the environment that he was now in.
He had now fully accepted being as the Master of Death and he got himself reborn as new person yet retaining his memories and abilities from his past life.
With the bond that he had now with Death made it possible for the immortal being to place new abilities and skills into his system. Memories and knowledge soon came with it too.
Yet, what Harry didn't understand was why Death cannot directly interfere with fate's strings or why he even had to be reborn as a human. That as much as great knowledge, power and abilities resided in him it doesn't even put out the fact that he's slightly scared with the new life ahead of him.
Just like right now.
His name at this moment instead of Harry James Potter was simply Sephiroth.
He had long silvern hair that went past his eyes and close to his shoulders. Skin fairer and blemishless than any woman he'd seen before. And his eyes...
He looked almost exactly like the Sephiroth of the Playstation game he brought his sons, particularly Albus, once had.
Final Fantasy VII.
Except for the fact that his eyes being the same color as it was before glowed a lot more noticeably.
Thankfully, his eyes were the same color as the Sephiroth of the game. So, there wasn't much of difference save for the glowiness and that he still had the infernal lightning bolt scar he received from Voldemort when he was fifteen months old as Harry Potter.
But looking back at things.
He was indeed grateful with his own sons' efforts of pretending to like him. Even if it was the first few years. After all, it was just until recently did they actually gave up the stupid farce already.
It was due to all those times of being forced to bond with his children and playing their beloved Final Fantasy VII game and its other contemporaries did he know about would happen to him as Sephiroth.
To be truthful, aside from all the rattling he got from both of his sons, he made his research for them to actually like to stay with him. It was by doing so he knew that his character was destined to be known as the "Demon of Wutai", a hero and something else.
Heck, he even knew he was bound to suffer due to a certain scientist by the name of Hojo and be exposed to a lot of experimenting. Albus repeatedly rattled about it when he overheard the boy talking to some of his muggleborn friends.
That's why, he has to make sure that his fate would change.
Right now, he was four years old.
He had the memories of his forty-nine-year-old self. The knowledge in magic of not only his but also Dumbledore, the Flamels and Voldemort's.
The reason for this was that Death made sure that he had enough knowledge to start himself on becoming the Master of Death. Thus, why he had those people's knowledge on magic. But, according to his contracted, if he wanted to learn more he would now have to learn to earn it by studying. Then again, Death also made sure he had a very clear and eidetic memory just to make things easier for him.
His magic was also combined with the magic those people had as the knowledge came with the power they held. That's why, Harry knew if he would end up battling Voldemort again, he could easily over power the guy.
Plus, to make things a lot more complicated, his magical core may have increased a great deal but it still needed to be developed. Therefore, his magical core would still have to grow with him which means he'd be seriously a lot stronger when he actually grows up to his maturity.
Not only that, now that he was Death's master and contractor he had more benefits and skills that if in a game could definitely be classified as a cheat. That, already withholding him having the Deathly Hallows and a divine version of the Philosopher's stone.
Him having being told by Death to acquire skills/abilities along with its functions or what they were via their contract/bond like in a game tutorial manner:
Timeless and Unlimited Inventory – It is skill where one has their own pocket space where time and space cannot affect it. The number of items stored is unlimited and can be arranged alphabetically followed by the presence of a search within its functions.
Eidetic memory – This skill enables the holder to vividly recall things from memory after only a few instances of exposure, with high precision for a brief time after exposure. It also makes the user capable remembering everything without ever worrying about memory loss.
Inhuman Strength and Speed – This ability enable the user to have strength and speed no human has ever had before. Its limits may vary depending on the user's state and conditions. But at minimum due to user's condition, the user may be able to carry 10, 000 kg (22, 046.23 lbs.) and move in a speed of 250 km/h (69.4444 m/s).
Technopathy – It is the ability to control and manipulate electronics with the mind.
Master's Craft – The ability to craft things with a master's ability may it by discovery/accident or a push of actual studying and perseverance. Yet, when done by actual studying and perseverance the results be more than just great and might really turn out to be a masterpiece.
A very natural bonding/understanding with magic of any form – This ability enables the user have a natural and easier understanding of any type of magic wherever he is. This ability also includes the easier understanding of magic theory and its other branches.
Magic Control – This skill makes the user have an easier control of his magic. This ability makes the user have greater grasp on magic and gives a huge advantage in its practical uses.
Wandless Faculty – The ability to use magic without even the presence of a focus or a wand. Powerful wizards/witches like the Hogwarts Four, Merlin, Dumbledore, Voldemort and the Flamels could do so on varying degrees. The user's ability on this may depend to his own ability and the practice he goes over it in time.
Natural Leadership – This is the ability which makes the user a natural born leader and make people easily follow him.
Royal Blood – Like Natural Leadership, this is the ability which makes the user a natural born leader and make people easily follow him. But, this ability also adds in a huge amount of Charisma and Charms which makes people all want to look at the user and get their good graces making it impossible for them to do otherwise. This is similar to a Veela's natural charm but more amplified and it gives the user an air of superiority belonging to a respectable king or queen. Note: The amplified Veela-like charisma and charms can be turned on and off depending on the user's wishes.
Language Naturality – This ability makes the user have an easier grasp in any form of language and make them remember and understand any language even with just a short exposure of time.
Divine Seer – The ability to see glimpses of the future and receive visions just like the powerful seers of the olden and blessed times. Note: Boosted by Death's knowingness ahead, the user may gain more than visions but might actually see a whole event.
Metamorphagus ability – The ability to change one's appearance may it be as an animal, human or an inanimate object. Note: Due to Death's influence, when copying a human or an animal, the user immediately is able to copy the subject's voice and mannerisms that are immediately notified to the user's mind via pop-up.
Animagus ability – The ability to change one's form into any animal, may it be magical and muggle. Unlike the Matamorphagus ability, when changing into a magical beast the user can have that beast's magical characteristics/properties. Note: Also, due to Death's influence, the user is now capable of changing into any form of animal they wish to be. One may now call the user a "Multi-animagi."
Death's Mind – This ability lets the user have Death's mind in seeing things rationally and unemotionally as he deals with all situations. Yet, it doesn't automatically mean that the user would be able to lose or not be affected by any of his emotions. There is an automatic increase in wisdom with this ability and gives an advantage when making difficult decisions. This ability also makes the user have a strong innate skill of protecting his mind and invading another's thoughts as one would with Occlumency and Legilimency. Note: Existence of other effects are present. But Death himself has not verified what they are because they may depend on the user's own personality.
Death's Aura – The ability to have Death's cold, deadly and mysterious aura. When purposely activated or when the user is angered not only does this let the owner have Death's aura but it can also affect its surroundings by making the area's temperature drop and the lighting in it to darken. Note: Existence of other effects are present. But, Death himself has not verified what they are because they may depend on the user's own personality and emotional or mental state.
To be truthful, Death told him that that wouldn't be the only skills he would acquire. According to the immortal, over time he'd get more by either chance or situation. Plus, he'd still have to work for it.
But, even it was like that Harry Potter found them to be a great deal of help and awesome. Hell, the adult in him actually found this as an over-kill with abilities like these.
But, hey. What could he do about it when Death himself placed these skills in him? His contracted must have a serious reason to put him with these type abilities.
Heck, maybe this new world he might be in might be more dangerous than he previously was from.
So, here he was.
Standing in an all too sterilized room while the hum of machines surrounded him. The now four-year-old tried to use one of the first few abilities Death gave him.
Death's Mind
The ability made it possible for him to be protect his mind and invade others just like Occlumency and Legilimency could do. It could also make it possible for him to detach himself from his own feelings and look at things in an indifferent and strategically practical rational manner just like Death actually could.
Having Death's powerful and impenetrable mind somewhat made him feel strong and a little psyched up.
Smirk appearing in his small face, using his own magic he reached out to the machines and all of them short-circuited at the same time. Making it possible for him to know that he could now use the cloak and apparate out of that place.
Harry knew that he was all new to this world he was supposedly to live in that's why he just decided to just be as far away from this place.
Far enough that whomever was holding him in this wretched place wouldn't easily find him.
Hot scorching light soon assaulted Harry as he opened his eyes for the second time in this world. After his apparition, the now small four-year-old found himself what seemed to be a desert far from civilization.
Far from anything actually.
It had been two days since he was walking in this horrendously arid place. Unfortunately, he hasn't even found a single spring to get water from nor any shade or tree to rest under. Luckily for him, he still had his holly wand and the Death stick. Both of which he was very grateful to have.
After all, with it he was able to transfigure things into a much more acceptable attire and used an aguamenti make himself water and placing it in a charmed container.
With the use of the Death stick, he cut his medical gown into a couple of pieces and transfigured it to a nice and comfortable pair of black leather shoes and socks, black khaki pants, a black long-sleeved turtle neck, a large canteen and a grey parasol. The remaining pieces of his garb he hid in his inventory.
Harry Potter, now Sephiroth, knew that what he wore was very odd and stifling for someone traveling in such a hot place. But, with the application of a very powerful cooling charm he now hardly gave a damn. After all, if he was to travel these lands, he might as well do it with style.
Pausing for a moment from his long walk, Harry greedily drank from his charmed canteen and turned his gaze skyward. Wiping his mouth with his sleeve, he grimaced and summoned both the Elder wand and a piece of his remaining medical garb.
Realizing that he needed an acceptable handkerchief, he transfigured the single piece of cloth to what his own aunt Petunia would deem acceptable as kerchief but then paused. If he was to make his own kerchief he might as well, make it something soft and expensive. Something even Draco would use, so he decided to make it like what he had seen in Dudley's TV shows had showed.
White with the lovely embroidery of a butterfly, his handkerchief was now made out of Acromantula silk. But that didn't capture his attention.
What captured his attention was how he could summon his wands and all his other things from the inventory to him and vice versa just by his thought alone.
Did it mean that he could forego himself of having a wand holster and just summon his wand back and forth unto his hand? What was his capacity in retrieving and sending things to his inventory? How large of a Scope in area does his item inventory ability capable?
So, to satisfy his curiosity. He experimented.
Another two days had passed with his experimenting and he soon got his answers.
He could actually forego using a wand holster because he could do the summoning and its reverse wherever he was. His capacity of putting things in inventory and vice versa isn't limited. Meanwhile, his scope is a good forty meters.
The reason he knew why, was because at the end of the last day of his experimenting a message from Death suddenly popped up in his mind.
Hello Master,
I know it had been a few days since you got there that's why you're rather curious on things. To make things easier for you. Anywhere you may go, you can summon and unsummon the items I have personally given you. After all, the two wands, the invisibility cloak and the Demon Philosopher's stone is tied with your very soul that's why they can reach you as you wish them to be.
That said, I deeply apologize for not remembering to inform you earlier, My Lord, but your inventory as it says is timeless and unlimited. Anything you stored there would remain as it was when you first placed it there even if you haven't taken that item out for more than five years. As a wizard, you can say that it has a strong preservation charm. But then again, time simply does not affect it. The slots that can store items is unlimited and no matter what weight or size it can be stored in your inventory. Your scope of storing things reaches a good forty-meter mark and as long any part of the said item you want to store is in that area it would immediately be stored as whole. Unless, that item is broken into pieces that is.
Anyway, my Lord, good luck on your journey and I do hope you finally find and accept yourself now that you are reborn.
Your loving servant,
Death
Remembering that stupid message made Ha-Sephiroth want to scream.
The bloody git of a contracted he had made him do all of those unnecessary experiments when he could just have sent him this message a little earlier.
Fuming at the very thought of it, Sephiroth continued his journey while he did his best to use the Death's mind to control his emotions from continually cursing Death himself.
How dare Death to actually make him suffer those additional two days just to make fun of him?
That bloody….Argh.
To make matters worse, his stomach suddenly grumbled in protest asking for food.
Great. Just great.
It had just been his first few days and he was now in this situation.
A/N: It's 1 AM from where I came from and just finished it today. If I could, drinking booze and writing shouldn't be done at the same time because somehow I feel like writing these may have been a mistake on my part...
What do you guys think?
Any comments of sort?
