{Author Notes}

Wow guys, thanks so much for the 100+ follows for just seven chapters!

But eeehhh, I'm sure nothing significant happens in this chapter. You can skip it if you want to. It's filler.

"Aaah! Magnolia, home sweet home in another dimension!" I sighed in relief as the town came in sight up in the air. I motioned Ignis to land near the edge of town much to the surprise of everyone else.

Gray was one of the first to speak up about this as we landed. "Why are we stopping here and not the guild directly?"

I turned to him after he said that. I felt blood rising to my cheeks in embarrassment as I said this next, "Umm right. It only occurred to me as we left this morning: I forgot to tell you guys that I had an appointment later today and I'm almost late for it right now." I have to help Kageyama Maru with building his case today.

"You have another job? That's good for you!" Lucy congratulated me. It seemed like that reason was good enough for everyone as they all hopped off Ignis.

"You guys can take it from here yeah? I've got to head there as soon as possible!" I yelled out to them as Ignis started flying up. "I'll catch up with you guys after lunch!"

With a wave goodbye, I left everyone to go to my other job. Yeesh, even after almost being killed by a demon, I have to go to a desk job.

It seems like work practices even in another world are as vicious and draining as in any other world.

How disappointing.

Thankfully, I left a copy of the files with Kage's office. So that meeting went well, even if I wasn't fully and properly dressed.

As Ignis landed on the backyard, I thanked it a lot before telling it to get a nice huge rest.

But now, it's nice to finally return to Fairy Tail!

…

Even if it's currently lively as all heck with how everyone was arguing. At least no spells were being thrown around this time.

"Hey guys, I'm back!" I yelled out, which seemed to silence everyone as they all suddenly turned to me.

"KAIN! HELP US!" What in the name of Abraham Lincoln's top hat are they all yelling about!?

I pushed Loke aside since he was one of the first to run up to me and start shaking me desperately. "Dude, what the heck!? You're acting like Natsu!"

"I am Natsu!" Loke cried… wait what?

"What do you mean, you are Natsu?" Needless to say, at this point I was giving him a disbelieving look.

"I said I am! And will someone please put on the lights!? It's getting hard to see here!" Okay wait, Loke knows he's wearing sunglasses. Only someone like Natsu would think… oh.

OH.

I turned to everyone. After a very careful observation, I noticed near everyone did look stranger than usual.

"Ahh Kain! Maybe you could help… somehow!" Lucy said as she, Gray, and Levy ran up to me before explaining what had happened.

I stared in utter awe after being told what happened. "The hell? It's like emailed viruses only with magic!"

"E-what?"

"Never mind that Natsu… I mean… Loke?" I questioningly asked as I viewed Na—Loke in Natsu's body drooling out flames that were obviously not in control. "Can you guys show me where the spell is? I want to read it myself."

They warned me reading at aloud might do something bad, but I argued I didn't have any magic whatsoever, so it should have been fine. After reading it for a few seconds, I looked to everyone in the room.

"I can probably tell by just looking, but who here has switched bodies? Raise your hand and stand next to the one you switched with." Okay, Master Makarov and Mirajane—going to need to fix that pronto. Elfman and Cana (well that is a bizarre switch). Happy and Erza: ooohhhh that's gotta hurt Erza. Loke and Natsu, yeah I know those guys. And lastly, Jet and Droy: I don't see that much difference in them.

"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe—you two. Jet and Droy. You're both up." My finger landed on the two that seemed the least bothered by their change.

"Huh?" "What?" They said in confusion and union.

I clapped my hands together to get everyone's attention then pointed out the door. "Alright, everyone else: get out!"

"Huh!?" They all screamed at me.

In hindsight, I probably should explain how this is going to work. "Look, reading the spell out loud switched bodies right?" I waited for all of them to at least take time to say yes in their mind before continuing. "So why stop there? Let's keep using the spell until our bodies are switched to the proper owners."

I stopped for a second and looked to my manager who was my boss but still manager… okay that didn't make sense, "Mira—I mean Master, Mira should have a light pen in her pocket, could you let me borrow it for a second?"

Mira's body seemed to give a suspicious smile at the thought of checking out her own clothes. "Don't mind if I—"

"And if you take too long, I will allow some complaints and debts to file through to the guild if you don't take this seriously." In an instant, the light pen was tossed to me with Mira looking somewhat depressed.

"T-Thank you, Kain." Mirajane in master's body spoke up.

I nodded before drawing six stick figures in the air along with a square.

"Alright, pretend the square is the spell. Now, when Natsu first read it, it switched the souls of six people and each were all next to each other." I explained as I started to erase four of the stick figures. "What I'm planning is that so only Jet and Droy are going to be in the guild," I drew a circle around the two figures and the square then drew a several stick figures outside the circle I labeled guild. "Then when everyone is a safe distance, the two will read out the spell, causing a switch. Since the spell does it automatically, it will switch to whoever is closest. Since there are only two targets, it should bring them back to their original body… you get it?"

"Of course! That's so simple!" Levy stated out loud before flushing. "I guess this needed a different kind of thinking than what I had out planed."

I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just an idea. I don't know if this might backfire in some way," That seemed to scare Jet and Droy.

However, I just smiled. "So! … We'll get out of your way, and when we close the door behind us, you two read the spell, and come out if nothing or something happens. … Unless it's dangerous then handle it yourselves."

I am so good at this inspiring stuff. I should write a book.

We all waited outside, after a flash coming from inside the building, everyone looked with anticipation before Jet opened the door with a smile.

"Guys! I'm back to normal!" He yelled as Droy soon followed.

"Whoo! Good thinking, Kain!" Lucy cheered as she and Levy praised me for the idea.

"Thanks," I responded before clapping my hands. "Now, Erza and Happy, you two go in and do what Droy and Jet did."

"Aaww what!? But I don't wanna!" Happy in Erza's body said. "I like being tall and pretty!"

"Happy, we are going to get our bodies back now move!" Erza in Happy's body yelled with all the vigor she could muster… it's too bad no matter how hard she was pushing, Happy wasn't budging.

However, I came with an idea that wasn't very orthodox. "Alright, I didn't want to do this. Happy, you're going to switch with Erza, and I'm going to explain why."

"Nothing you can say will make me want to go!" Happy huffed as he looked away from me.

I sighed before tapping on Erza's shoulder and telling Happy to close in before I whispered something in the ear he was borrowing.

As I finished, Happy stared in horror at me as I nodded. "It's true. All of it."

"We gotta switch, now!" Happy said as he grabbed his body and ran in with Erza.

Everyone was looking at me weirdly after seeing such a sudden change in Happy. I don't blame them for that really.

It seemed like Gray was the one brave enough to ask me what everyone was thinking. "Kain, what did you say to Happy that made him change his mind so quickly?"

I sighed as I looked around. Seeing as how most of us were adults here and one wyvern, I revealed what I had said. "If he wanted to stay as Erza, he was going to find out how Mother Nature works in the form of menstrual cramps."

Everyone at the mention blushed profusely. The females in male bodies blushed even more if possible.

"I-I want next!" Cana—wait no, Elfman cried out.

"No way, wait your turn, I'm next!" Master Makarov shouted desperately. Looks like he realized that having such a 'nice body' had disadvantages.

"Heck no! We're next! I can't stand drooling lava!" Loke in Natsu's body declared.

It didn't take much before everyone started fighting again.

There weren't that many left, so this shouldn't be a long time.

But it was going to be a long time.

After the fiasco known as the "Changeling" was over, we had to report what had happened on Galuna Island to Master Makarov.

"Lullaby and Deliora fused together? That is a disturbing omen." He seemed deep in thought after hearing such a story.

Erza nodded before putting a hand towards me. "We wouldn't have survived if not for Kain activating the mysterious weapon. I think it is safe to say that it is indeed one of the five super weapons if it could give even someone like Kain power to fight against a fused demon."

"That is also something we must address." Makarov stated more like a fact he was confirming rather than adding to a conversation.

However, this raised a lot of questions. I raised my right arm and the strange device in question to prove my point. "Uhh, what do I do now? The quest described these things making people go crazy and let's all be honest: no one here wants that."

"That is also true." Makarov then started to play with his mustache. "First of all, can you transform into this armor for me?"

I looked back at the device and nodded. With some hesitance, I pressed the button. However, my body did something strange before I could press it. I stood in a firm stance, threw both my hands out then brought them together quickly to have my left hand slam on to the Morpher on my right wrist. Despite me wondering why I did something so needlessly dramatic, in a flash of red light, I had easily transformed into the same armor I had on back on Galuna Island.

Everything felt different now that I was paying more attention to the armor. I could easily see the table, every single wooden line, every crevice, every bump, nook, and cranny. I could hear everyone around me, how their hearts were beating normally while beyond the walls, I could hear even others conversations as if I was right in front of them.

Besides smell, my hearing and sight had been amplified, maybe to Natsu's level or less but I had no idea how to measure that right now.

"Why did you do that posing?" Gray asked as I eased into the armor. Even though he said that in normal volume, my enhanced senses seemed to take that like he was screaming.

"Uhh, I don't know?" My own voice sounded somewhat filtered as it escaped the helmet. In all honesty, I sounded more heroic, which was cool. But why did I pose? Was it some kind of magical influence on my subconscious? Or was it my inner seven year old self doing a hostile takeover in my brain and forcing me to perform a cool pose before being a different universe Power Ranger? Maybe both? Questions for later though. "The weird thing though is that no matter how much I pressed this before, it wouldn't work. But after Symphony almost killed you guys, it then started to activate very easily."

"Why would it do that?" I don't know if it was me, or maybe the armor, but now it seemed like when Makarov started speaking again, his voice was back to normal, but I could still hear and focus on other conversations in the back if I wanted to. It was like the armor itself was trying to adapt to my senses.

I shrugged my shoulders, realizing that I didn't even feel the weight of the armor as I did so. "I don't know? There must have been some trigger besides a near death experience, but so much was going on that I don't think I would be able to pin point it."

The guild master seemed to muse deeply once more. "I think it would be a good idea to really test the limits of what your armor can and can't do. Then from there, we should start your training."

Hmm, he does have a point. Finding out what else I can do know would give me a better—wait a second. "Excuse me? What was that about training?"

I started to feel a bad pressure around me when I noticed not only Makarov, but Natsu, Erza, and Gray smirking at me. Master started speaking, "Power corrupts but a strong mind along with a strong body can help ease the soul and prevent something like that from happening. If these devices did corrupt their wielders, it is more than likely because no one was there to temper their growing power."

I've heard enough political and legal bull crap to know he's using pretty words to hide the ugly truth.

Makarov was going to train me like a Fairy Tail wizard even though I wasn't a wizard. After all the way of the warrior is the way of balance if all those kung-fu movies I watched meant anything.

It basically meant they were going to train me like a dog for a hound competition.

But now here comes my power play: do I call him out on it? Or do I play along?

… If there was anyone out there, what would you think I should do?

Let's just go for broke. "So, you're just going to train me how to fight like Erza?"

"What? No," Huh? Then why is he pointing to Erza right now? "You're going to be trained by Erza to fight like Erza."

Oh.

I looked over to the red head in question as a smile(?) spread across her lips. "Don't worry. I'll be easy on you for your first week."

Why is my 'bull-shit' sense tingling when she said that?

[Later that day.]

Hello Ms. Floor, we have got to stop meeting like this.

… Have I said that before? It's kind of hard to really focus with my head spinning around… right round… like a record baby… right round round round.

Due to Kain's currently questionable mind state, we will be switching to 3rd person point of view.

"Get up, Kain. While your swordplay has been improving, it is definitely going to need more work." Erza kindly said as held the wooden sword downward in a resting position while the two were on top of a padded floor in the middle of the guild.

The young and quite bruised man stood up much like a newborn baby deer, wobbling like crazy to stand up straight.

As he did, he tried to point his practice blade at Erza.

As he did, he pointed his practice blade to Droy who was Erza's opposite direction.

"Umm, Erza? I think all those blows to the head has finally caught up with him."

The red haired swordslady seemed to consider this voice of reason. "I suppose you're right. Kain, we are done for today. Do not forget to practice your swings." Erza said as she started walking over to the master.

The wobbly teen looked towards the one who said that and gave them a thumbs up. "Thanks a lot for saying that, Wakaba!"

"Kain, I'm Laki. Laki Olietta." The purple haired, wood make mage stated flatly.

"Yeesh, poor guy. I haven't seen Erza train someone this hard since Natsu's re learning of language." The real Wakaba commented as he viewed Kain with pity.

As if to prove Wakaba's point—even though it was painfully obvious to everyone in the guild—it looked like Kain was very close of collapsing right where he stood.

However, he did have one thing left to say to Laki. "Thanks, Wakaba, you have a nice penis."

Everyone gapped at the string of horrible words that Kain had just slurred out.

Laki in particular was flushed and was quite peeved at the comment. It didn't help that she in particular hated perverts most of all. "You pervert! Wood Make: Fist!"

However, while rage blinded her from realizing she was technically attacking someone with (hopefully) temporary brain damage, Kain had actually given up on being conscious and fainted right where he stood no sooner than he made that mistaken comment.

So Laki's attack flew over her intended target and hit Nab instead while he was still looking at the Job request board.

Nab looked back, more than a little annoyed at something hitting the back of his head. "You bastard! Whoever did that was toast!" In his fit of rage, he blindly attacked where his instincts felt the wooden fist came from. Laki avoided the magical blast, but Gray was unfortunately right behind her and it hit him instead.

No sooner than Gray got up from the blast, he instantly snarled and prepared an ice attack of his own. "Natsu!"

The attack was nowhere near his direction, but Gray didn't hesitate to fire an ice blast at his 'best' friend.

Soon, another all out brawl broke out on the guild, causing Makarov to sigh as chaos ensued.

"Master," Erza walked over to him despite the madness going around them. "Kain has been learning how to fight well… almost too well."

"So you've noticed it too huh? The legal and book information… that made sense because Kain was obviously studious, but as you were training him, his body and formed seemed to be growing as each second passed by."

Erza looked at the ironically peaceful Kain sleeping on the padded mat while everyone else continued fighting around him. "Every time I attacked him, I noticed his stance and poise get increasingly better over time. Kain has said he wasn't very physical to begin with, so how is that possible? Is it a hidden talent?"

Makarov instantly shook his head at the mention. "No, with all respect to Kain, he is the type of person who uses his brain than his muscles. It doesn't make sense for him to have such a hidden talent so it must be the device or Morpher as he coined it." Makarov stared deeply at the thing attached to the boy's wrist before taking a sip of his drink. After wiping his mouth, he continued, "The artifact is tuning his body to become more warrior-like from just fighting."

From the side, Mirajane asked with worry, "What should we do now, Master?" it seemed like she too heard about what was said about Kain gaining fighting ability quickly.

"Tomorrow and for the rest of the week, we'll be testing his other attributes such as…"

Strength!

Kain in armor was carrying a large metal platform. Then, Makarov and several other mages kept pilling more and more weight onto the platform for Kain to carry.

He was doing well… so well in fact that Natsu and Elfman felt threatened by Kain of all people and offered to do the same thing as well.

Unfortunately, Mira was able to convince the master to let them do that. It seemed like Kain's armor could handle a large amount of weight more than both Natsu and Eflman.

That was a bad thing.

Natsu, being the most competitive thing in existence, refused to lose to Kain of all people. In response, the young knight simply said, "I'm glad you think so highly of me, buddy."

Snark aside, the young man from a different dimension started to panic when Natsu started pouring out fire to boost his strength.

The problem with this was that he was still in the wooden guild.

I'll leave how bad it went to your imagination.

…

Then tell you to multiply it by three because that's how bad it went. (Gray picked a bad (or was it good?) time to go out to eat lunch.)

Despite how badly things escalated form there, they did find out that Kain was indeed as strong as a wyvern while using the armor.

Speed!

This one was going to be a simply race to measure how fast he was going to be able to move. Jet was proud to be the one to help measure Kain's newfound speed since he prided himself as Fairy Tail's fastest speed mage—technically the only speed mage, but it was best to let him have his moment instead of standing the in the background all the time like he usually does with Droy.

"Don't worry, Kain, I'm naturally faster than even Erza using her speed armor. You shouldn't feel so bad if I leave you in the dust."

Unfortunately, the boy from another dimension was finding out that when Jet had the spotlight, the attention went straight up his ego. In retrospect, he does deserve these shining moments of attention in a guild full of monsters and big characters…

But Kain was a bitter son of a gun and decided to get even with the guy for making him feel belittled.

"Whaaa whoa!" Kain wobbled as he tripped nearby Jet before entering running position. Then he quickly got up. "Sorry, this thing is weird sometimes since it feels like a second skin."

"Don't worry about it!"

After Jet's comment, Mirajane shouted from the crowd a safe distance away from the two of them, "Race, begin!"

And with a sonic boom, Jet was off—hold on, why where his shoelaces tied together!?

"AAAHHH!?" Jet yelled as the magic made him trip up at sonic speed and crash into a toy store in the distance.

Everyone looked back at the starting line to see Kain just standing there. Despite wearing a visor, they could all tell by his body language he was as shocked as them, if not more.

"Uuuuuuhhhhhh I thought he would just fall on his face when I tied his shoes together?" The boy offered weakly before noticing the large crashing noise coming in the distance. "W-We do have a healer in the guild, right?"

They didn't.

However, in terms of running speed, Kain was found to be half as fast as Jet. It was nothing to scoff at, and it appeared his speed could be even in his arms with how quickly he tied his shoelaces without anyone noticing.

Oh, and Jet was going to have a speedy recovery. Get it? Huh? Huh? He's a speed mage and he's going to have a speedy recovery?

No?

…

Vitality!

"Look, I know I made all those debt raising threats so I could sometimes have you do petty chores for me, but those were all jokes! I really don't have the power to do that! So with that in mind, do we really have to do this?"

Kain was in the middle of a giant painted target in the middle of the park, surrounded by every guild member available.

All of them came. (Except Laxus, the Thunder Legion, Mystogan, and Gildarts)

All of them joined. (Except Laxus, the Thunder Legion, Mystogan, and Gildarts)

All of them were about to unleash hell on the poor knight. (You know in hindsight, it's a really a good thing the previously mentioned aren't here.)

Makarov sighed as he got a lacrima designed to measure pain tolerance ready. "Don't worry, Kain. The chance of you dying from this is 50-50."

"Wait wha—"

"Fire!"

As it turned out, the armor had actually nullified around 50 percent of the attacks flying right for him. However, it seemed to only weaken elemental based attacks, but not fully stop them. With this in mind, it essentially made magic near useless against Kain which would no doubt help him in future events.

Perhaps in the hands of someone like Erza, The Morpher would be such a devastating tool.

In Kain's hands, well…

The smoking knight slowly crawled out of a crater and shouted out in anger. "That's it! I'm quadrupling all your debts!"

Makarov face palmed as everyone fired another volley at the lawyer/accountant of Fairy Tail in response to that.

Dexterity!

"No. I'm not doing this."

"But Kain—"

"Mira, this isn't an obstacle course, it's a death trap!" The alternate universe Power Ranger pointed towards the large area that was basically final obstacle course seen in the famous television show, Wipe Out. Only with less water and cushioned traps and a whole truck-ton of magical stuff everywhere.

"But how else, can we figure out your dexterity?" Mira was a little sad. She was the one to come up with this plan after a while and seeing her younger employee deny her ideas was hitting close to home.

"By measuring how fast I can run away from you all to avoid this." And with that… he did.

Unfortunately for the boy, the way the entire guild tried to hunt him down Magnolia was ironically more dangerous and destructive than the actual obstacle course.

Still, the armor also seemed to increase it by a large margin, but they couldn't quite specify it.

Charisma!

Kain, wearing a nice tuxedo, sat on a romantic candle lit dinner for two… all alone by himself.

He slammed his fist on the table. "WHY ARE WE EVEN MEASURING THIS!?"

And lastly… luck!

Kain looked around suspiciously. "Okay, so let me get this straight: all I have to do is power up the armor and walk down a block."

Makarov nodded as he prepared a floating lacrima meant to measure the time. "This one is a bit whimsical, but we do need to check it out. Alone, your luck is fairly abysmal, but we have to find out if the armor also amplifies this as it does with your ability to learn and your increase physical capabilities."

"You mean my luck might finally turn around? Sweet! Here I come!"

Kain was half way to his destination when a magic powered vehicle came speeding through the corner he was supposed to end and rammed into him. While the armor seemed to lessen the blow, Kain found himself stuck on the front of the vehicle as it kept moving in breakneck speed.

To his shock, Kain had found out the mad driver wasn't slowing down in the slightest and the knight started screaming when the vehicle went past the guild and jumped off the cliff looking out to the ocean. However, to his utter confusion, the vehicle started magically transforming mid air and turned into a boat before it landed on the water and speed away from Magnolia with a very befuddled knight in red.

It turned out that the one who captured him was none other than Agent 100 of Fiore's Secret Mage Service and they've been watching him for the past week and are deputizing him for a secret mission to save all of the continent of Ishgar from a power hungry mage looking to overthrow the King of Fiore.

The needed him and his Anti-magic armor to bypass a heavily fortified hidden base located in an active volcano named Mt. HooHaahaa. There, Kain had to fight through lasers, dino beasts, ninja mages, and Laser ninja mages who mutated into dino beasts.

All of this was done in order to stop a magical Nuke from killing everyone in the Capital City of Fiore, Crocus. When they got to the center of the secret base, the evil master mind, Mega Fluff, revealed to Agent 100 that he indeed was his father, which shattered the man and made him question the world he knew.

With incredible precision, and a inspiring speech he completely winged to Agent 100 with somehow not saying a single word, Kain fought off a super mutated laser ninja mage by kicking him hard on the crotch and was able to get stop the countdown launch codes down to the last two seconds.

However, it appeared Mega Fluff had a different plan all along in that he had a giant teleportation pad ready to send him and entire army of mutant ninja mages right inside the Secret Mage Service HQ and destroy it from the inside out.

Despite their best efforts, Agent 100 and Kain were unable to stop Mega Fluff from getting in the SMS HQ, which was located inside a different volcano, Mt. Supah Hut. In a attempt to save all of Earth Land, Agent 100 heroically sacrificed himself to stop Mega Fluff from releasing a truck ton of more magical nukes all over Ishgar, and made sure Kain got out safely through an escape pod that ejected him somewhere in the middle of the ocean as Mt. Supah Hut exploded.

That day, Ishgar was saved by the SMS, but that day, they also died without anyone ever knowing they existed… except Kain, which meant that if Kain ever tried to tell anyone about them, no one believe him since there was now no trace of them existing.

However, it wasn't the end as Kain's escape pod was fished up by pirates on their way to another volcano island that held Mt. Moltres. The Pirates where after the treasure of the Island God, Obama and after forcing Kain to activate and disarm the traps for them, they all came in front of a massive temple built for the Tiki God.

The renowned god of the island presented himself in front of the mortals and challenged to all of them by trail of combat…

Through a dance off.

Somehow, the Captain and Kain were able to pull off some of the most synchronized dancing in existence despite meeting not too long ago and defeating the god of interpretative dance.

In his defeat, Obama gave everyone his treasure: the gift of being able to dance and sing very well.

The pirates cheered in tears of pure joy as for finally realizing that treasure was only the second greatest treasure in the world. Right below the treasure of spending time with their friends.

For a job well done, Kain was given a boat to get back to Magnolia. However, on his way back he was swallowed whole by a whale and accidentally coughed out to the ancient underwater city of a name he couldn't pronounce so he decided to name it Not-Atlantis.

There, he was recruited by the mermaid rebel alliance to take down the evil tyrant, Shark King.

…

But by now you guys see where this is going so instead we will just list the amount of things that happened to Kain on his misadventures back to Magnolia.

After saving Not Atlantis, Kain was put in a beach where a clan of giant man-eating crabs were about to start their revolution.

After stopping the revolution by turning the man-eating crabs into vegans somehow, he had to join an archeologist traveling through a temple of doom where it turned out the greatest treasure all along was knowledge with friendship just underneath it.

After that treasure hunt, they actually did stumble on to some treasure hoard, which Kain did not hesitate to spend to get him straight back to Magnolia before something else went down.

Then he was abducted by aliens.

Longer story short, and with an alien volcano or two somewhere in there, the aliens were kind enough to drop him off back in Magnolia and reward Kain with artifacts that instantly disintegrated when touching Earthland's atmosphere, making him unable to sell what could have been millions worth in Jewels.

Finally, he walked back to his guild after a hectic week…

He happened to stop at the very block he was supposed to end before the stupidest adventure known to man had stolen him.

"Oh Kain, you've returned." Master Makarov, who was just there by coincidence, pressed something in a device that stopped the timer on the floating lacrima. "It took you ten days, four hours, three minutes, and twenty seven seconds to walk from one block end to the other."

After reading the numbers on the lacrima, the guild master slowly looked to the strangely silent and dirty knight. "I'll risk sounding like captain obvious when I say that the armor seems to amplify bad luck as well."

Every language in existence, be it future or past, have and will forever fail in describing how much of an understatement that was.

Erza spotted him as she was walking by. "There you are, Kain. We have a lot of training to catch up with in the week you missed. Oh and Mira wants to start charging rent for your room now."

The boy from another dimension seemed frozen like a statue before finally yelling out, "SON OF A BIIIIIIIIIIIIII—"

A young and innocent Romeo Conbolt tugged on his father's coat as he pointed over to a still screaming Kain. "Papa, what does that B-word mean?"

Macao sighed deeply, silently cursing Kain for this.

{Author Notes}

Yep, nothing happened. … (Unless you count Kain saving the world and another planet in the span of a week something, but I'm totally not going to.)

Basically, this was all just Kain testing out his new armor, and also training to become stronger in one of the most unconventional ways in fictional history.

Now when I was making this chapter, I wanted to see how other writers handle their OCs in testing their new powers. However, and with total respect towards them, I found them to be kind of boring.

I've only seen a few where they just practice the power, master it, then use it sometimes in a fight. It doesn't really feel like it lives up to its build up, especially when others seem to just react in surprise at OCs knowing such a 'high' leveled move.

If I sound cynical, I apologize. I know they can do better than that.

This entire chapter was me basically trying to put a more memorable spin in a character testing out their new powers. I tried to show Kain's new limits, while trying to be memorable in how those limits are shown.

In the form of a montage…

I bet Rocky Balboa would be proud.

It's not perfect, but maybe down the lane, I can inspire another writer to take a far more fun way of showing how a character learns of their strength and power.

Anywho, this filler was here to calm down from all the action these past few chapters. (Well for you guys, Kain on the other hand…) Next one, I'm going to do an original arc. I hope you enjoy it.

Now then.

Here comes somewhat bad news.

I made a (P)atreon account.

I can hear you all booing about it but I'm not asking you to give me money.

Seriously. I would like you too, but I know we're all tight on it.

For me, especially so since I'm from a poor family and I'm busy a lot of the time.

I would like to do the things that I love, but I can't really do it without sacrificing something. (P)atreon gives me the opportunity to turn my writing hobby into an investment and something worthwhile in my busy life.

That is all I needed to say.

I promise, money or no, I will still keep posting these stories. They're so much fun no to.

I just would appreciate it if there was a way to turn my dreams into a proper investment.

So how about some incentive? If I can reach maybe at least ten 1 dollar pledges before next week when the next chapter comes out, I'll post the chapter after that in the same weekend.

This is just a test to see how these things will go. Either way, you will get the chapter next week.
