I felt my memories return, the eyes once again adjusting to the light.
Taking in a deep breath I could feel the very essence of magic once more….it was real.
I felt my power start to surge flaring , raging screaming at me to let it lose.
"These fuckers think they can lock me up huh?"-I said, getting a maniacal grin on my face.
"Guess they don't know"-I started to reach out with my magic feeling it wrap around the facility I found myself in.
"That brat was just a front!"
I pressed down with my hand, commanding my magic to crush the very foundation of this accursed place. And a magic circle appeared at my command.
"Raise to the skies and crash down to the earth"
"Oh gaia I pray for but a fraction of your power!"
FANTASIA TALE!: GRAVITY MAGIC:ABSOLUTION DOWN!
The effect was instant, the ground started to shake and walls were crumbling around me.
I could hear the screams of terrified scientists and alarms being raised and while I would have loved to stay and crush a few of the ones who locked me in my own mind!…I unfortunately can't deal with Brain yet, from what I do remember from the manga he was extremely powerful.
While I do want revenge for what that bastard did!…I'm loath to admit he outclassed me in magical knowledge…for now!
While the change in my desire wasn't great I did have to run instead of fight.
As such, instead of spending a long time razing the entire structure, I decided to just break it enough for me to escape.
Instead of focusing the direction of my magic downwards I imagined myself gripping half of the structure and then…snapped it. Before the ground and walls shook but now they cracked and the screams? Instead of surprise they now had the beautiful sound….of fear.
I pressed my hand to the wall producing another magic circle.
Gravity magic: Directional change.
I changed the directional gravity of the wall so that instead of the normal direction of down, the gravity of the wall was now outwards pressing it out and bending out.
Hmm seems like that wasn't enough, well then guess I gotta add some more pressure!- I thought simply snickering at finally getting to stretch my magic.
"You bastards wanted to raise my magic power to an extreme level right? Truly it would be a shame to not try it out!"
Gravity magic:x8
The wall flew off its hinges and as soon as it left the range of my magic it crashed down to the earth.
"Well that's a long way down..don't ya think? .."-I said while turning around having sensed a presence, and of course it's the one damn person I did not want to see right now.
"Hello Crow, or should I call you Merlin?"-Brain laughed out
"I knew you were going to break out eventually, funny thing is I thought it would happen earlier!."-Brain was grinning like an insane person while taunting.
"Hello Brain you look as shitty as ever"-I said tensing up
"Aaa there is that foul mouth heh your counterpart got all the charm hmm?"
Brain took a look out over the room his eyes gazing upon the hole I made with my
Magic.
"And I see you also remember the spells implanted into you how quaint"-Brain mused quietly.
"But I know for a fact we never gave you any spells to survive a fall from this height so how about you just stand down?" He said starting to gather pure magic power at his sides.
"Yes well you know me I was never one for accepting rules and orders, isn't that why you had those damn memories implanted into me?"
"An astute observation but I wonder can you even remember your own name? If crow was the fake memories and merlin simply is the name assigned to the project what does that make you?" Brain snickered out grinning smugly.
"Perhaps that's why you like that spell so much! Because in the end just like your magic, your life is just a fantasy!"
"BASTARD!"
I Shouted out my rage at this man..no this Demon! Taking over my rational thoughts of running.
"Fantasia Tale: Inferno!"
The spell took effect immediately sending a cascade of flames hurtling at brain
Only for the spell to fistle out before even reaching him
"Hahah, you truly believe I wouldn't take any precautions in case of something like this? How stupid do you think I am?"
"If you actually have the memories of that boy then surely you remember that Fantasia can only make pale imitations of spells! Honestly it's a wonder you were ever even proficient with gravity magic in the first place when you wasted so much time with that spell!" Brain spat out at me giving me a look of pure contempt
"But..if even a wretch like you can do this perhaps the process truly does have potential…"
I gotta get out of here but my spell didnt even do anything to him so then why….that's it! Gravity magic I just gotta figure it out and..
My train of thought was suddenly broken by brains declaration.
"Tell you what, i've done the experiments i've required and the process of artificially raising magic power is nearly complete so.."-Brain said, allowing his magic power to flare out.
Brains magic energy had a foul green look to it, the very air started to feel thick with evil energy.
"You can either jump"-He said gesturing to the hole I made while he was charging up an attack.
"Or you can die by my hand, time to choose a little bird!"-brain's attack started to charge up even more now, I didnt have alot of time.
"Welp you know I'm not good with words"-I said, starting to back off towards the hole.
"And I never did like to follow orders!"-I laughed, throwing myself out the window, narrowly avoiding the blast of dark magic he sent my way.
As I saw the ground rapidly approaching I didn't have much in my mind other than "oh shit i'm about to die!" or "AAAAAAAA" but I also knew I didn't have time for panicking instead I needed to figure out a way to survive!
Okay gravity magic can alter the state of gravity around an area I could only affect the tower since it was directly on the ground and connected, but I never could get that spell to work at range ... .Well now is as good a time as any to learn I suppose!
I started to gather my courage pushing my already weak body beyond its limits, pushing my already nearly depleted stores of magic beyond what I thought I could do!
Going beyond my limits! Reaching what I never thought was possible! That is why I chose to reincarnate! To finally achieve my dream!
"I want.." I let my magic flow out of my body, directing it into forming a magic circle and finally…"TO BE THE STRONGEST!" Pushing the magic outwards letting it take form from my desire.
Gravity magic!:Gravity Null
The magic took its effect instantly letting me experience the pure joy of null gravity ... .and by pure pleasure I of course mean uncontrollably starting to spin and going off in some random direction….
Later, in said random location.
"Damn …that hurt"-I said rolling out of the bush I happened to "land" in.
Now finding myself on the edge of the forest I started trying to make my way out of the forest edge only to find that my body simply couldn't move.
Dammit that spell took more out of me than I thought I can't even move anymore!
Well shit….Ok come on man up I might be nearly out of it but I need to GET UP.
I barely made it to my feet and started to limp out of the clearing my body on the brink of breaking.
Alright that's done let's see what this town is all about then.
Suddenly there was an explosion.
What was that? It came from the village. Shit, I gotta help them!
I was going to run in guns blazing blasting people left and right saving kids, you know the basic hero things! Butttt I may have forgotten one thing. First I had used Fantasia twice today and not only that but the spells used were nothing to slouch at either.
Guess I'm still not used to regulating my magic power. I must have used too much!
What do I do now? Do I still try to help? I can still use some basic magic spells to preserve my reserves. But then again I don't even know these people I could just run away ... .then again
My train of thought stopped there, starting to shift to a more sombre train of thought.
An image of a man in a dark purple fur coat with a poetic way of speech, a murderer…a coward that would never stand an equal fight. A mind fit for the grandest of stories, seeking power and absolution. Toying with his prey never even once needing to give his all. His tales spinning into reality, logic nonexistent all that matters being his tales of imagination.
A cruel battle obsessed man adorned in a white outfit with blue notes, seeking to crush the week to feed his own ego. TO PROVE he is the strongest….nothing less.
Seeking the strongest spells and the greatest teachers. None can stand in his presence lest they crash through the earth.
A large mane of golden locks with simple cloths and armour suited for battle. A maniacal sadistic demeanour and grin constantly adorned on his person.
A wielder of black flames laughing while burning men, children, women, animals, everything…..down to their now very black bones…and finally the ashes now adorning the very grounds they once called home.
And finally….The man called the devil. The one that peered into the very depths of magic itself and survived. Cruel, unforgiving, destructive, powerful. A mountain of power sealed behind a facade of a caring old only one capable of containing the formerly mentioned, the man they all call master, a man with a grimoire heart.
Yet what would they do?
Of Course they would run, live another day one would say, the others simply not caring.
Is that really what I want to be….a coward…..is that really why I ran…Just so I could end up like them!?
NO
I won't go down that path .. THAT ISN'T ME DAMMIT!
Screw not having control on my magic! I don't give a damn if I lose my life in the end!...just …..just
"Just as long as I can save one person the hell I went through…that will be enough…"- I silently said to myself, starting to push my muscles to run towards the town.
As I neared the town an overwhelming sense of anxiousness started to seep into my mind.
Could I really help these people? …I have a lot of magic power but that whole ordeal with the tower did drain me of a lot and those dicks didn't really teach me anymore than some basic magic..
I slapped myself in the face with a loud "SMACK" in order to reset my train of thought.
And with those jolly thoughts I started sneaking to the first house of the village.
The house looked straight out of an old school war movie. It was most likely a beautiful house once upon a time, it looked like an old victorian era house. Simple walls surrounded by decorations with windows and a slanted roof.
And yet now the house had been blown apart.
Windows had crashed inwards doors, broken down holes could be found randomly spread about the place, and most eye catching was that on the side of the building it was missing a large part of the house itself it looked as if something had taken a bite out of it.
The hell happened here!?
It looks like a damn war!
But where are the people?
Suddenly there was a large explosion in the distance just downstreet from the house I now saw was not the only ruined house.
A whole village was laid out in front of my eyes, it was over in the distance just downhill from the house I first had found.
It was all a-flame, buildings burning - some not even existing anymore, now simply reduced to a bundle of sticks and motes of ash.
Jesus christ this town is fucked, the hell happened?
I started moving down the hill no longer exactly caring about being stealthy seeing as there wasn't exactly anywhere to be sneaking around.
As I made my way down the hill I started to see the true devastation foretold from afar. While the fires and destruction of houses were as easy to see from afar as close it paled to the sight now laid bare in front of me.
Bodies crushed under debris, what looked like people strewn about in a random manner, blood pooling around them like a red sea.
As I got even closer a smell filled my nostrils.
Smells like burnt meat…damn poor people…gotta look for survivors, or atleast figure out what the hell happened here. Gotta deal with the flames first though, since I'm not exactly fireproof ... .I think.
As I entered the small village I started to think of how to do this. I couldn't use Magic again since it would completely knock me out with how low my magic reserves are.
There were pieces of wood sprung about from the earlier explosion, so I picked a piece up in order to use it as a crutch.
As I moved further into the broken town I started to shout.
"Hey! Is anyone still alive? Hello!" ..Please be alive somebody ,...just one….please
