My new life
Void
My name… I don't remember it… do I have a name?...where am I?... who am I? All I see is black, all I feel is nothing, what is real, what isn't, is this real? Where is here? Am I alive? Why do I remember the feeling of humanity and yet nothing else?
Suddenly a blue bloc with a purple border appears. Inside of it is black text
[Hello new user] the box reads.
What? What is a user? Is it talking to me? What language is this? What is language in general?
[Welcome to the game!]
Game, what's a game? Is it good, is it bad, what are those concepts? Why do I know these words?
[You lived a selfless if mundane life in the past. Helping others and improving those around you. You have been found worthy of reincarnation and will live in a new world where you can make the most of a situation, are you ready to play?]
Reincarnation? Play? New world? I get to leave here? If I can then yes I will play this… game?
[Good! Now to character customization!]
Customization?
[Think of spinning this wheel] and suddenly color
And suddenly a large wheel with different colors appeared. Two slots underneath the wheel appear a second later, one that says, reads, existence? Hair the other one says eyes
Spinning it once it lands on silver, a second time landing on red. Suddenly… FEELING understanding senses all pass, chemicals slowly fill the newly made brain and EMOTION begins to happen, new thoughts more then the idle pondering that I had been. PERCEPTION, I can examine the things here better, vision less muddles then as a floating blob. The area I am in is an ever changing geometric impossibility, black though it is, forever changing in angles and sides some areas expand, some gain angles some have a loss. No patterns or repetition it looks beautiful, chaotic, inorganic, insane, awe inspiring, infinite, and millions of other words that would only scratch the surface
Looking at the bottom is a flat black circle, reflective in nature where I get to see myself for the first time. I have shaggy silver hair going in every direction, a pale white skin, almost as pale as my hair and bright red eyes looking curiously through the mirror image. I am wrapped in what can only be descried as dull grey rags. Bunched together and wrapped around his frame is the top part. only a pair of ragged shoes on his feet, and a pair of grey shorts being the only thing he has for clothing... he feels like he is going to change this as soon as possible.
[Is the player ready to continue?] appeared on the screen
"Y-Yes?" Voice? Is this my voice? Why is it so high? Is it high? Why am I feeling dread for a few years in the future?
[Spin wheel for powers, if magic is similar powers combine and re-spin, spins x 3]
"S-Spin?" I say as the wheel changes, dozens of options come forth all spanning in 5 colors, 5 golden stripes, 15 purple, 20 blue, 25dull grey and 35 dull green
[Gold is legendary, the greatest or strongest weapons, and Magic's. Purple is epic, blue is rare, grey is uncommon and green is common in rarity] Letting me know the powers in rarity, as well as weapons in strength, not that it matters much right now.
"A-ah spin the wheel?" I say and spin it does landing on blue then the screen randomly goes off and then finally stops.
[Congratulations, first magic iron maker magic!]
Laughing nervously you spin again getting a purple, with widened eyes wondering what you get, when the screen finally calms down your eyes widen at what appears, feeling excited for some years.
[Epic magic obtained! Blade maker unlocked!]
Feeling excited to try again no matter what you feel strangely excited at swinging magic swords, and energized you do your last spin. As it ticks down you wonder what it could be? Landing on blue you laugh a little less nervously when it lands on iron body, the abilities then apparently got "downgraded" into a spell prompting you to spin again and you withhold your breath when it lands on epic once more, sky magic?
[Congratulations, now with your 3 Magic's in your arsenal let's move on to the menu]
What?
[Say 'menu' to go to menu screen]
Oh, okay. "Menu?" Starting to feel more stable I lose my stutter being sufficiently distracted by the new things from my new state of being. Suddenly a new screen appears, curved around so it would be convenient to reach it.
There are some words on this new screen as well, in descending order are stats, skills, magic, quests, map, inventory, and property. The last three being greyed out, suddenly you press stats and you see a new page

Under the choose name bit there was a yes and random button, not knowing a good name you pressed it.

The blacksmith? What is a blacksmith? Thinking of how he got to this page in the first place he pressed the title. Watching as a new screen appeared in front of the status page
The blacksmith: novice: As a man who has power over iron and steel, who's very will makes blades of magic on the world, let this title tell the world who you are. Not a destroyer but a craftsman Evolution requirement: Make 0/300 blades Effects: passively increase skills related to weapons by 30 %
+3INT +3STR
…cool? I guess?
Let's try skills next I guess? "Menu, skills." Immediately the screen changed with only two things on the screen this time.
Gamer Body: body of a video game character
Gamer Soul: immunity to mental status effects, immune to possession.
Not seeing anything but what should be a little obvious "menu, magic." Changing the screen showing how the magic works. Separated into three different blocks, I tapped Blade Maker and saw how my first magic functioned.
Blade Maker: Epic rank E: the ability of making imagination into the form of a blade. To see what is stronger, natural strength or skill
Exp NA
Cost: (enchant rank x number) + 1 per 4squared in
… it had less info then the title it gave me…
I pressed Iron make in confusion
Iron Make magic: rare rank E: molding magic into metal, if your will is unbending, so is the metal Rank up: master current spell list 0/6 Cost: 10mp per square foot Speed fired: 12 ft. per min
Spells: specific spells cost less than unfocused
Iron tool:lv0/10 cost 2.5 per tool Use, tool usage
Iron sword: lv0/10 cost 5 per sword Iron shrapnel: lv0/10 cost 10- blow up a construct, damage mp cost of tools x mp cost of shrapnel Use weapon/ damage
Iron shield: lv0/10 cost 5 per shield Iron wall: lv 0/10cost 7.5 per square foot Use defense
Iron wrap: lv0/10cost 7.5 per square foot Use trap/ binding
… okay?... Do I want to know what's on the sky page? After thinking about it a while, Koichi decided it's less stressful than not doing it. At least rank up stuff seems to make the magic better? I am just going to press the sky.
Sky magic: epic Rank E: ancient tradition for the mages of sky magic is to be healers and protectors. In some cases they even made peace with dragons and were known for their love of nature and helping those in need. Should you manage to anger them though, prey you escape as they will make the breath you take be your last Rank up cost:
heal 50 people: 0/50 Master spells in this category: 0/4
Guérir- heal- heal 10 hp for 5 mp
Améliorer- enhance- + 5 STR/ AGI per 10 mp
Lame- blade- fire a pressurized wind blade at the opponent Cost- 10 mp Damage- 20hp
Vague- wave- a billowing wind originating from the user 30 mph per 10 mp
At least everything is less confusing than blade maker. I wonder what I am supposed to do now? Also how do I master spells? Am I just supposed to just fire the spells eternally? Use them in different ways? Fight?
[skills recognized: beginning story and combat]
… I didn't mean for an answer right now or in this way…
Year x771, location, jungle by Mt Hakobe
"Aaaaaaaaaah *crash* ow." I groaned pitifully after crashing through some trees, looking around I found I was in the mountains. Looking around I found a strong hold behind me and walled all around for as far as I can see in the directions where there weren't already walls that looked… kind of villain cliché… what is villain cliché? Huh not worth it, the screen said combat before dropping me here so that means…
"Why do we got to do this shit!?" Said a man in black hooded robes to his similarly dressed cohorts. Some had rings, others amulets or piercings able to be seen… why did I get the feeling this was even more, cliché, and I still don't fully grasp its meaning!? "I thought the ruins we spent fucking WEEKS carving in made us fucking imperceptible to people dicking around our turf?" Snarling more then even before the man seems to be angering himself with his thoughts... while mine only are focused on the clichés and what the heck they are?
The others just had an exasperated air around them, though most looked like they at least partly agreed, a shorter man though just wore a dark grin on his face and said one thing, one thing that shut the others up. "Jax, be quiet or I'll find out what secrets your corpse might hold." He said before turning and walking away with all the care and nonchalant of a man who randomly just commented on the weather. The others shivered with revulsion and I with fear. Fear of this… person finding me as I am now. "We will split up now, we have all night boys, don't disappoint me, and remember those who find me a test subject… get a reward." A dark laugh leaving his lips, watching as they all left scarred before running into a random direction. Sighing in relief, I turn away… to find myself face to face with the previously named "Jax" right in front of me.
"I thought I smelled some fresh meat!" The disturbingly enthusiastic man said, reaching towards me, scared, I backed away and created a knife under my shuffling palm that he didn't seem to notice. "Do you even have magic, trash? Hopefully you're better than those other rejects we have inside of the cells, Zeref knows what use those fucks are gonna be used for." Eyes widening in horror, he notices and his head falls back laughing at the face you make. "Haha what did you think? That the dark guild Abyssal Fang would do anything fucking else, all we fucking do is experiment on fucks like you and~ when they actually work!" He cuts himself off as the formally loose robes tighten, his body growing several feet and his eyes, once brown on his shadowed face, turned yellow and slit down the center. His skin turned a dark, poisonous green, scaled pattern… his face looks… like if I took a kamado dragon that had a baby with a king cobra, hood and all. His nose once normal, now looking like he opened up his nasal cavity from the inside out with two large gashes, his mouth elongated and moving forward, making the gashes even larger. Knuckles popping as bones muscles and sinew enhance themselves into places as his spine lurched and his shoulders broadened ripping through his uniform in places where new muscles bulged. small amounts of liquid dripped onto the floor and made the grass instantly shrivel up and die. "Any last words brat? After all you will be our test subject by the end of the day."
Not knowing how to react I had to ask a question that would bug me forever if I didn't… "does that itch?" I was completely serious, dude just grew SCALES a few FEET in height and had his freaking EYES CHANGE SHAPE AND PUPIL TYPE, not even mentioning the fact this man grew FEET in height and a CRAP TON OF WEIGHT, LIKE WHAT! That's not even MENTIONING his freaking BONES CHANGING SHAPE AND MUSCLES RESTRUCTIONING!
Apparently nobody asked that before as he chuckled, he laughed a bit more, then slowly it turned into deep belly laughter while holding his sides like he couldn't believe I asked that, thinking on it I would have laughed too, but I still found it a perfectly reasonable question. Also… he left himself open.
Throwing the knife I made earlier into the laughing maw he swallowed it in his laughter, now completely stopping even if he still looked amused more then anything, he swallowed it in a very disturbingly over the top manner with a big grin on the face and a gulp that looked WAY to happy with the situation. "Did you think that would work?" He asked with a sick grin hoping to see me despair, but looked confused at my grin holding my hands up towards him as he questioned my smiling. "What are you grinning about lab rats, you give up and feel happy to serve your betters?"
It was a fair question, I lost, from his perspective the only weapon I had, i was a fraction of his size BEFORE his growth spurt. "Just this, IRON MAKE: IRON SHRAPNEL!" Instantly a magic circle appeared with his stomach in the middle of his digestive tract, it appeared to be a sword and hammer crossed with a pair of wings appearing in the background. "Boom." I Said with my own impish grin. Instantly he grew once more but this time from his stomach only, a few pieces of metal escaping as blood leaked from his mouth along with an acidic spray melting what it hit. Somehow it seems to have been limited to his stomach and digestive system. The insane mash up of a… man? Being? Both?... whatever, was still alive. I could see the skin and muscles repairing themselves already, and make out his chest and diaphragm moving up and down, as well as his hand twitching. Just because his body could withstand though didn't mean his mind did, I literally made a shrapnel bomb blow up his digestive tract and it only made him unconscious…
To make sure he stayed down though, I made an iron bat and… vented frustration? I didn't kill him or hit his head at all… at least the one above the neck… I'm half certain I was born or reborn today and was put into a life or death situation while fighting people who did human experimentation and turned themselves into monsters and wanted to turn me into a play thing. If I want to hit a person who does that in the nuts I would love to talk to the person who would begrudge me. Finally I surround his body with iron make wrap, covering him from the bottom of his feet to just under his nose snuggly in iron till it was in the shape of a pyramid. Not knowing what else to do with him, I left him there.
[victory!: loot?]
So now you talk to me again? Under the sign was a yes or no, I chose yes
[loot gained: ring of poison, 300 jewel, 290 exp!]
Ring of poison D rank: able to detect poison and poison magic of all types within a distance, unfortunately it does nothing to cure or resist these poisons
Cost NA
Range 10ft
Okay, this will help if they have poisoned the air I guess? Wait, magical items! That's it! I can make them with a blade maker and not nearly be killed by crimes against nature!
Okay… time to grind!
What's grinding?
3 hours later
"This is what you get for using magic without understanding it dumbass!" I yell at myself, soaked with sweat yet holding 4 blades in front of me. Each unique as each performed a certain task, meanwhile a small pile of shrapnel and weaponry were found behind me by several meters. Dozens of mangled or fragile looking daggers and knives behind me in this pile, failures from the first 2 hours and 10 min, and wasting magic for enchantments that were… honestly useless. It at first was random, I just tried to make magic weapons so the magic decided what IT wanted for its enchantments… it was so stupid...
The four blades in front of him though were different, sleek, sharp, and releasing minor magical auras vastly different from each other.
The first was an innocent blade, looking like a simple hunting knife, but what it did was much better than getting the furs from animals.
Voir à travers rank E The ability to hide when you strike is within your reach, stay in the shadows for they are your only friend Damage:
melee damage x 2
Cost for invisibility: 15 per min Durability 40/50
I'm being hunted by several people who call themselves "dark mages" who experiment on humans and animals for fun before amping themselves up. I'm allowed to be happy for invisibility-ish. What the blade actually did was chameleon camouflage, blending in with the colors and harder to spot unless in motion or making noise.
The second blade was pure black, with small groves all along the knife's sides allowing for max damage when stabbing. The grip was pure white, and on the pommel a wolf head, in black with white eyes.
Chasseur de l'Ombre rang E A hunter must rely on all of his senses when looking for prey, never letting one stop the hunt. This blade makes it so even in the darkest area you may still be able to hunt to the fullest
Damage: melee damage x 3
Cost: 5 per min of sight Durability 55/65
Night vision… It's nearing midnight, and they probably have animal night vision right now. Do I even have to explain how one almost freaking caught me and I nearly died… why am I still talking to myself? I think I finish this tutorial by hunting so I'm going to skip explanations and just fucking hunt now…
Slowly I leave the area I have been practicing in for hours, leaving behind a bunch of useless enchanted items as I run for a random direction, wondering where the hell I'm going. To be fair though, I'm seven-ish, I appeared here out of nowhere, no explanation and I'm now turning from hunted to hunter… let's see how this goes shall we.
After around an hour of running around randomly, I found what appears to be 3 of those "dark mages'' whatever that means, using their Magics on animals. Feeling rage build in me as they tortured these poor things I slowly creep behind them, brandishing my two knives and activating Voir, I went between two of them and stabbed them in the ankles. Drawing screams from the two newly stabbed memo wrench the knives from their ankles and realize a flaw I had with this plan… I'm invisible… their blood isn't though.
Suddenly I jump back, glad I did as immediately afterwards the area I was standing at was attacked by the third member of the group, like the first one I found, he turned snake like, only instead of a king cobra's hood, he had a rattlesnake's tail pieces along his arms, making noise whenever he was moving. His attack was good for me though, as some of his poison got into his "teammates" gaping wounds.
"Hehe your pretty good kid, what is it now… invisibility magic?" He looked to ponder, making his horrific face move in different directions. "No, no you ain't got enough power for something like that, holder type it is Huh?" Suddenly he moved. Unable to keep track and reacting on instinct I crossed my knives in front of me, yet still got knocked away from the impact. Slamming into a tree shoulder first was not fun, dislocating the same shoulder is even worse though. Dropping my knives in pain as the monster of a man grabbed me by the shoulder and lifting me from the ground was the worst though. I reached my good hand into my pocket and grabbed another knife. I let him talk as I made the slow movements to not draw attention.
"Pheh, guess brats like you are only good for sneak attacks huh?" Maybe I am, does it make you feel big for needing to mutate yourself to take a kid in a fight? I wanted to say that, but self preservation made me grit my teeth. "Don't worry, after some brain washing, training, and a lot of beatings, I'm sure you'll be useful for our… purposes!" He said cheerfully, making me fully realize what they did here.
They didn't just experiment and kill the people here. They fucked with their heads, damaged them mentally, physically, and in so many ways. Ripping out their humanity through experiments and making them fucking kill for them, most likely so they didn't have to fucking work for their cash themselves in anyway. They fucked people up worse than killing them. And they were going to do the same to me unless I stop them… fuck my life… slowly I can feel him laughing as he grips my injured arm, raising a fist he seems to make it vibrate erratically, slowly he brings it towards my face. Slowly he gets closer, and I know if I want to live I have to use the strategy I kept hidden as a trump card.
Ripping through the dull grey shorts I came here in with my knife, surprising him long enough to stab his side, I'm dropped as he hisses in pain. He slowly pulls out the butterfly knife I stabbed him with, the bright purge blade with a black x in the center of it, covered in his blood. He turns to me no longer amused, slowly his face turns furious at what happens. He raises his arm above his head as if to call his magic. Unfortunately he starts choking on something. His body looks bubbly, and his face seems to become multiple different colors at once. He gasps out a "what did you do" through his expanding throat, for the first time looking scared through all of this.
"It's simple really." I say thankful for the reprieve. "Your body is held together by a lot of your magic, thanks to your enhancements. When I was making my daggers I had a thought, what would happen… if I disrupted that flow?" They experimented in body and muscle enhancement, focusing on changing their entire structure and DNA, I had a thought that they were duct taped together with most of their Magics otherwise no way I would have beaten Jax. It must have been using stupid amounts of power to be effecting them this much. Without this knife I would die in a fist fight. And without their enhancements they would have creamed me in a long distance fight as I only have 2 long range spells right now.
So I had a thought, if I can't win either way, why not fuck them up?
Perturbation rank D The flow of Eturno is a delicate balance, never forget how easy it is to lose that balance and in turn lose a fight
Must be fully stabbed for effect to work Effect: disrupt opponents magical system, next spell fizzles out until knife is pulled out
Cost NA
Now then, I could take a guess at this, but I'm pretty sure they are using a bunch of spells to not fuck up their transformations and abilities, isn't it a shame that they all are constantly cast… and so short circuiting his body? Quickly taking advantage of his current state I make another stab through his shin and thigh, watching as his body grows growths and boils. Not dying. I also know this is temporary as the magic corrects itself. Knowing this I do to them what I did to the last guy, wrapping them in pyramids taking all of my remaining Magics. Grappling my knives I limp weakly away waiting for it all to regenerate again. Feeling energized from the fight and lethargic from the injuries, knowing I had to rest for a while.
Other area of the forest
"Interesting… I suppose some more tests are in order! I haven't been this excited for a subject in years~" said an insane voice, looking on with glee. "I suppose those rejects were good for something after all~" slowly he started chuckling and soon came to insane laughter like seeing those he was in the same team as being killed meant nothing to him… they did mean something though, he noted in his mind… more data...
