One moment can change everything.

Congratulations! You have been selected for reincarnation!

Those words...

Those words alone cause a sick grin to appear on my face.

It's perfect.

The ideal dream for every single otaku and shut in.

A chance to just... redo everything.

Preferably in a world that actually has magic of some kind.

You will be able to select a world from our truly massive catalogue. Then we will send you to said world with a boon of random strength! An inventory perhaps? Or maybe INFINITE COSMIC POWER!
It's all determined by luck!

Fuck...

Alright.

What power do I get, then?

Choose your world, first. The randomizer is balanced according to the overall strength of the world you are going to.

Fuck.

Where do I want to go?

Oooh that's an idea.

Fairy Tail.

Not to join them. No no no. Their power of friendship gives me a bit of a headache.

They've got some hot girls, though.

Regardless, I want to just in general pose problems for them!

I want to be annoying. For fun.

Ooooh I've even got this all planned out!

What power do I get?

Choose your world, first. The randomizer is balanced according to the overall strength of the world you are going to.

I- yeah... I sort of got that.

Do I need to like?

What do I do here?

"Fairy Tail."

Confirmed. Fairy Tail selected. Generating Special Quality.

I wait, watching the dots after 'Generating Special Quality...' Slowly appear and disappear.

Special Quality generated!

The screen warbles slightly as my power appears, like some sort of legend of zelda 'Item get!' Screen.

Hell, they've even got the music back there.

Dah dah dah daaaaaaaaah!

Sacred Gear Magic!

Huh?

Sacred Gear Magic:
Sacred Gear Magic is an extremely potent sealing and artificy magic designed around the concept of grabbing extremely powerful items or the souls of powerful enemies and condensing them down into magical items called 'Sacred Gears' that can be bound to the souls of people. These items grow alongside their wielders and each has the capability to unlock a super-powered state called a 'Balance Breaker' which breaks the balance of the sacred gear. This special quality includes a sacred gear of random quality and an ocular based magic simply called 'craft vision' which allows you to determine the effects of items and materials, and what might amplify or dampen said power.

My mouth opens, then closes slightly, then opens again.

A grin appears on my face.

That bodes well.

I strut up to a man who looks absolutely bored, a new power and body at my fingertips

"You here to make a request?" He questions, not even looking at me.

"I'm here to join."

"Fuck off. We're not accepting people right now." The man scoffs.

"..."

With a flash a sword appears in my grasp, I stab it down into the desk.

"Split."

The desk is suddenly severed. Cut cleanly in half.

"So. This is how this is going to go. You are going to get up off your lazy ass and do your fucking job and let me join this guild... or after I flay you alive I am going to go to a guild that doesn't waste my fucking time."

"Slacking off again, I see." A voice pipes up behind me.

"M-Master Jose!" The man before me gasps.

My eyes widen as I whirl around, a man with burgundy hair and piercing green eyes. The top of his face is lightly shrouded in darkness by a large wizard hat, he has black lipstick on his lips and a large thin mustache.

I bow my head slightly in respect. "Guild Master Jose... I am here to join your guild."

"I can see that..." He observes. "I have a question though... why are you here? Shouldn't you want to join a guild like Fairy Tail? It's not as if their requirements are strict."

"Because each and every one of them are 'power of friendship' whackos. The guild is cursed with over the top bullshit happening to it every month. I'm looking for a job. Not to fight seventeen dark guilds a year because some random mage I never even spoke to or have even seen before stubbed their toe as a result of a mage tripping them... because they're 'family'."

"..."

A sick grin spreads across the wizard's lips. "I like you, sword mage. What's your name?"

"My name is Arthur Pendragon. I am impressed that you managed to deduce my magic with a single glance. Most people-" I glance over my shoulder. "Would just call it requip."

"Bah. Ignore them. If they make that mistake, they are simply unskilled. Their words should hold no weight to you... now... You. Get the guild stamp. If I ever see you turn away another potential recruit because you're too lazy I will make you regret it." His gaze flicks back to me. "Welcome to Phantom Lord, my boy!"

With that, he disappears with a puff of darkness.

Man. Phantom Lord is a bunch of assholes.

The second I got there I nearly had my fucking shoes stolen like this was the fucking ghetto.

Of course. Those idiots immediately turned around and started trying to kiss up when they realized that hey. Maybe this guy is powerful.

Fucking morons.

I spent the first day figuring things out in the guild.

Fairy Tail has Quality. Phantom Lord has Quantity.

From what I've heard, Phantom lord literally has ten times the number of mages than Fairy Tail.

The main issue is that Fairy Tail's weakest mage is stronger than... perhaps our 'average' wizard.

Phantom Lord's S Class are merely comparable to Fairy Tail's A-Class.

The only TRUE S-Class wizard I would say we have... would be Aria.

And Master Jose. But he doesn't really count as the guild master.

The rest of the S Class are sort of 'meh' wizards.

Sol's pretty strong, just creepy. Gajeel is also impressive. By all means he should have obliterated Natsu because his slayer magic is far more versatile.

Considering he can turn his skin and body to metal and arms into chainsaws, that is.

Totomaru and Juvia on the other hand?

Look. Juvia is hot as hell. I'm going to try and get in her pants- and of course show her the love and respect she deserves- but she's sort of squandering her potential.

She could be...so much more than just a Gray fangirl.

I will make her better... I can fix her!

Regardless. Let's talk about my abilities.

Sword Birth.

I was given Sword Birth.

Decently powerful.

Not a Longinus, mind you, but enough to suit my needs. It's versatile and has potential.

I have a special scheme set up now...

I slowly walk forwards towards a large building in the distance.

Hands in my pockets.

My new body is quite attractive.

It looks as if they just gave me fucking Kiba's body from Dxd. Sword birth and all.

Now.

Onto my scheme.

Getting a higher rank in Phantom Lord.

How, pray tell, am I going to do this?

I kick open the large gate, walking inside, sword in hand.

A large gorilla-like thing with pink hair in a maid uniform bursts from the ground.

With one swift swipe of my blade, the head is cleaved from its body, the entire thing glowing and disappearing into motes of light.

With a wave of my hand, a dagger appears and falls to the grass.

I step up into the building after kicking open the door.

My...

How gaudy.

There's a tremendous statue of the owner of this mansion. It stands roughly twenty five or so feet tall, and considering the rotund little freak it depicts, it's almost as wide as it is tall.

Solid gold. All the way through.

It sticks out its tongue that is the size of a desk making me nod slowly.

This will get Jose to give me a little more respect.

Well earned respect in a guild of fucking idiot henchmen.

If I get enough, perhaps I could manipulate events in my favor.

I calmly walk forwards, going to the second floor.

Five deformed maids lash out at me but each are swept away from a blast of water that sprays from the tip of a sword I summon.

I open a door.

Nothing.

I open another.

Ah. Something.

On the other side is a large open library. My target.

I walk inside, gazing around the many bookshelves.

"YOU- YOU!" An annoying voice snarls as a fat little pig-like man bursts through the floor, leaving a large hole in his wake. "WHO ARE YOU?!"

"None of your concern." I admit, eyes scanning the bookshelves.

'ah... there it is.'

I step forwards and grab the book.

"PUT THAT DOWN AT ONCE!" The man howls as I gaze down over it.

Yes.

This is my target. According to my sight... this is correct.

Daybreak by Kemu Zaleon. Enchanted with word magic. the contents are a bunch of the duke's crimes and everything Mr Melon wished to say to his child Kaby.

I reach out and grab a second book, then open the front page.

"To my greatest fan, Duke Everlue." -KZ

"SOTHERN WOLVES!" He snarls. "GET OUT HERE AT ONCE! KILL THIS MAN! HE IS FILTHING MY COLLECTION!"

I glance up as a bookshelf slides to the side.

"Hm."

Not dealing with those freaks.

With a flash I am outside... having just swapped places with the dagger I dropped earlier.

I turn and begin running, slipping the book into my jacket. As the cover makes contact with a small cross-like pendant on my necklace, it completely disappears.

Two swords appear in my hands. They are identical and serve one purpose... to increase my speed.

My feet are just blurs as I rush forwards down the winding path back towards the town this mansion overlooks.

These swords were a little energy intensive to make. I couldn't make many of these, that's for sure.

In fact, thanks to the teleport sword, the water sword and the basic 'a little more sharp than normal' sword, I'm almost out of magical energy entirely.

Creating two swords that increase my speed took up around eighty percent of my total loss in mana.

I wouldn't even say that these swords are that impressive.

Maybe an eight percent increase?

Ten possibly?

But it's quite noticeable when you use two at once.

A sly smirk appears on my face as I slide to a stop in front of the large mansion the job requestor is staying in.

I know fully well that this place isn't their normal home. But. If they want to act rich to draw in wizards... they're gonna have to pay like their rich.

I knock on the door.

A few moments later, a man opens the door.

"You're back?! Already?!"

"Yes." I nod once. "Daybreak is no more... as proof of my job, here is another book from the Duke's collection by the same author."

I offer him the second book, causing his eyes to widen.

He hadn't told me who wrote the book, merely what it's title was.

Seemingly as a method to stop people from cheating him.

"I-I see..."

His eyes glisten slightly as he lets out a shaky breath. "T-Thank you."

"Thank you so much." He brings his hand to his face, wiping an eye. "A-Allow me to get your reward."

"Thank you kindly." I smile.

I step into the guild hall, frowning at the lazy guy who had the gall to refuse my entry earlier.

"Oi. You're back. Did you fail already?"

"I completed my mission." I scoff, giving the man a half-lidded stare. "Can you tell me how to get in contact with Master Jose?"

"The master's too busy to deal with some second rate wizard. You don't need to tell him you've completed your quest. Just do your fucking job."

"Oh, so you're an expert on doing your job now hm?" I hum, stabbing a jagged knife into the wooden table just beside the man's hand. "If you don't tell me what I want to know, I will carve you like a fucking pumpkin."

"Geheheh. The new blood's quite spirited." I turn, gazing at a man in black, he has long dark hair that goes to his lower back, metal studs dot his face. "The Guild Master's out at headquarters right now. But if you go up stairs and knock on the door, he can send over a thought projection."

"Seems a little suspicious that you're telling me this so freely."

"Well, let's just say whatever you bring to the master better be important. Oh. And that'll be twenty thousand Jewel."

I shrug. "You know what? Fuck it. You've been the most helpful person here so far."

I grab a stack of jewel from my pocket and toss it to him which he snags out of the air.

"At least your powerful and useful. Unlike some wastes of space in this guild."

"Geheheh." The dragon slayer chuckles. "Now I sort of hope the guild master doesn't toss you out the window for wasting his time."

He turns and walks away, arms folded behind his head.

I turn, walking across the guild hall, avoiding any and all annoyances.

I climb the stairs and knock on Jose's door.

After a moment. A voice echoes out on the other side. "Enter."

I open the door.

"Oh. It's you. The sword mage. What is it?"

"I understand your busy so I will keep this brief." I state as I reach for my necklace.

Daybreak appears in my hand. "I have gotten some Blackmail for you to use."

"..."

"Hm." He hums. "Perhaps a bit of a less-brief explanation would do you better."

"Very well, Master." I nod slowly. "Recently I took up the job that required me to break into the mansion of Duke Everlue and destroy the book known as 'Daybreak'. This... is that book. It turns out that the duke is quite the deplorable human being, imprisoning the author, Kemu Zaleon, and threatening to revoke his and his family's citizenship unless he wrote a book for him."

"Kemu Zaleon, hm?" The man hums. "His literature was a bit to girlish and flowery for my standards, but I do know of him... this book. Daybreak. Are you telling me that you failed your mission?"

"Of course not, Master." I smile. "Daybreak has been destroyed and I have claimed the mission reward... because Daybreak never existed in the first place."

"Ooh. A delectable technicality. Well played on that one." The man compliments. "Then what of this?"

"This book's true name is called 'Dear Kaby'. It appears that Kemu Zaleon was a wizard and used letter magic while creating this book. When the seal is broken it'll become a compilation of everything he wished to say to his son... in addition it lists- and proves- the quite extensive crimes of Duke Everlue. Now. When I stepped into that mansion... the first thing I saw was a twenty five foot statue of the rotund owner made of solid gold... so clearly our dearest duke here is quite frivolous with his money."

"I was given two options... I could do the fairy tail thing... and return this book to the son, the person who made the request in the first place and everyone could have a happy ending. I could give up my reward, go home and be happy that I did a good deed and I'd get a gold star for being a good little boy. Duke Everlue gets arrested for his crimes, the magic council seizes his assets and everyone all happy!"

My forced bright smile falls. "Or. I could bring it to you. And you may do with it as you wish. Turn it over to the family. Blackmail the duke. Claim his assets for Phantom Lord, it is up to you, Master."

A sick grin spreads across the wizard's lips.

"In addition, while I was there, I saw the fact that had a golden celestial spirit Key. Virgo the maiden. Of course, with his poor taste in women, he made her look like a Vulcan in a dress, but I've heard that she is quite beautiful when she isn't contracted with a wizard with such poor taste. With your new leverage, and if you learn just the briefest bit of celestial spirit magic, you could have an attractive pink haired maid to tend to all your needs. Her earth magic is also quite powerful I've heard... and even if you don't. It is one of twelve keys. I've heard the princess of the royal family is quite interested in celestial spirit magic, so you could send it as a gift to curry favor, or just simply auction it."

He lets out a quiet 'fu fu fu' laugh, his shoulders shaking.

"I really like you, devious child." He chuckles. "Hand it here."

I place the book on his desk.

"If you keep this up, you may quickly become one of my favorite wizards in the guild. Keep up the good work, my boy."

I nod my head slightly. "Thank you, Master."

He picks up the book, looking it over. With a wave of his hand, light explodes around the room. Letters are torn from the pages, quickly rearranging and darting into the pages of the book.

With a dull thud, it slams shut, revealing a new cover.

"Dear Kaby"

He opens the first page. "How touching. A father's last work... dedicated to his child."

"It also appears there was only ever one copy made, so perhaps you could sell it to a collector once you are finished with it." I observe.

"Indeed." The wizard saint hums, a small glint in his eye. "You are dismissed. Once more, good work, Arthur. You are worthy of me remembering your name."

"Thank you, sir. That is big praise coming from a Wizard Saint." I smile as I turn and leave the room.

You know...

This is laughably easy.

I look over a small dagger in my hand, thumb running along the edge.

"You want to know what you light guild's look like to us? Fucking INSECTS!" I watch a black haired wizard with a ponytail step on a certain salmon haired wizard of fairy tail's face.

This guy is a fucking moron.

He HAS the death flute on him right now.

Yet he sees a random ass fairy tail wizard minding his own business and decides to be all 'YeAh we dark wizards are soooo much better than you fucking loser light guilds! Number one guild in fiore, who?'

The genuine stupidity is actually laughable.

I toss a dagger out of the window beside me, a small smirk appearing on my face as I just... wait...

I watch the man get hurled forwards as the train hisses to a halt, I am jostled forwards by the train's momentum. I likely would have been flung from my seat had I not been preparing for this.

I likely would have cut myself as well.

But. I watch a large wooden flute clatter to the ground.

All is quiet for a moment.

Lullaby is swapped for the dagger in my hands.

Then, with a flash as Natsu promptly uppercuts the dark wizard.

Deserved.

I might not like Natsu very much, but that punch was very earned.

I swap places with the dagger I tossed out the window a moment ago.

I figured out something pretty interesting about blade blacksmith.

The more specific I am... The more powerful I can make my swords.

There's also affinity to worry about... and nonmagical effects.

An ice-element sword made of dry ice would have a more powerful effect than one made of normal metal.

A sword that can swap with a nearby wooden flute that has a skull on it, will have a longer range than one that can swap with the nearest flute of any sort.

It's not that much longer, mind you, but still. A few feet at the very least.

A dagger that can swap places with one Arthur Pendragon?

Well, I sort of need to specify that for it to even work.

I doubt I could teleport other people with my blades.

At least not as I am currently.

I look down to the skull flute in my hand.

It glows briefly... then is secured in a globe of magic.

I clasp my hands together storing it in the little bladed cross on my ring.

I let out a low huff as a large blade appears in my grasp.

I toss it lazily onto one of the rails, watching as it twists slightly and wobbles briefly before being stabilized, floating about an inch above the rail.

This blade creates two magnetic fields that hug the metal rail underneath.

I step up onto it, struggling for a moment, but I eventually get my balance.

I deactivate the force keeping the sword back and begin sliding down the rail at a moderate pace.

The last town was a good three miles back. I'm sure as shit not walking that entire way.

I'd totally make an actual skateboard sword if One: the terrain allowed it and two: I could actually get it working.

Making a flying sword is soooo far beyond my capabilities currently.

Hovering via magnetism is about the limit of my current power.

I cross my arms as I begin to pick up speed.

'Damn. This is traveling instyle.'

I watch a horseless carriage speed past, locking eyes with a red haired woman.

I offer a single wave, a slight smirk on my lips as they disappear into the distance.

Fairy Tail might just save the day today... but unlike me, all they'll be getting for this mission is good Pr.

"Enter."

I step through the door into Master Jose's office a small smile on my face, his eyes widen slightly a sly smirk on his lips. "Ah. Arthur. I take it this is worth my time, hm?"

"I'd say." I nod once. "Today I came across a bunch of fairy tail wizards who were tracking down a shadow wizard from the Dark Guild Eisenwald who had apparently claimed a dark artifact by the name Lullaby."

"Lullaby?" He echoes. "Go on?"

"Said group forgot their dragon slayer companion on the train. That is when the dark wizard they were looking for showed up, stepped on his face and- like a fucking moron- said 'so, is it worth it being in a light guild. You all look pathetic to us'.

Jose gives me a slightly disgusted look, half lidded eyes, mouth slightly ajar.

"I may not like fairy tail... but such sheer stupidity should not go unpunished."

"It did not. The train had its breaks pulled. The fire dragon slayer got over his motion sickness then the last thing I saw before leaving was the shadow wizard being upper-cutted... I may not like fairy tail, but that punch was absolutely deserved and I find a begrudging respect for the dragon slayer doing it. Now. the thing is, Master Jose. When the train had its breaks pulled, our resident shadow mage was flung forwards. Falling from his cloak... would be the item the dark guild was looking for.
With a flash a floating flute appears supported in a bubble. "The sentient demon death flute Lullaby."

"Sentient Demon?" The man echoes.

"It sings anyone who hears it into an eternal sleep... and by that I mean death." I smirk.

"And you retrieved it." The man breathes.

"Which is why I quickly let myself out... otherwise I would have stabbed that incompetent dark wizard... I mean really, why would you ever draw attention to yourself when you HAVE what you desire! What you NEED. Why would you chance it?! It is no secret that fairy tail wizards are strong. They might be utterly annoying and naïve. But theyare strong."

"I can agree with that." Jose nods slowly. "now, back to the flute. You said it kills anyone who hears it?"

"I have it currently in stasis." I nod slowly.

"How is this beneficial to the Phantom Lord Guild?" He questions. "It just sounds as if you have brought a ticking bomb into my office."

"Well, we have two real options here, Master. Firstly, we can turn it over to the magic council. Showing how reliable we are in comparison to fairy tail who causes no end to property damage... and, if pray tell we were to let the papers know that a simple wizard of phantom lord succeeded in retrieving an item that ERZA SCARLET of fairy tail failed to secure... well... that's quite the headline."

"And option two?" The man smirks, already liking where my head is at.

"..."

"Master. Allow me to tell you about my magic. The creation of swords? No. That's not my magic... my true magic is called 'Sacred Gear Creation Magic'. It is a magic based entirely around creating mystical items called 'sacred gears'. Which are sort of like holder magics that can grow stronger alongside you and have a specialized 'super' state called a balance breaker."

His grin grows wider as I continue. "The main issue, master, is finding a suitable core for these bound magic items. They can come in two real forms. The first, a living soul of a powerful creature. Be it giant sea monster, dragon, demon or god."

I nod to the demonic flute. "The next... is items of great power and prestige. Like... a chalice that grants eternal youth. Or a an item used in legend. this flute somehow meetsboth criteria."

"You wish to turn Lullaby into a... 'sacred gear'?" The man echoes.

"Yes." I nod once. "The only issue is that I need materials."

"..."

"Very well. You will have all you need. Give me a list of your needs and I will see to it that you have them... but in exchange... I desire the power of Lullaby. Are you able to grant these items to others?"

"I can." I nod once. "And very well, master."

"Do not worry, I won't simply be taking this for free, my child. S Class. You are now an S-Class wizard of Phantom Lord. Be Proud! In addition... please follow me. There is an item in my possession that is currently unusable in its current state... one I believe would make a truly delectable sacred gear. this one you may keep."

"Thank you Master Jose." I bow my head slightly.

The man rises to his feet. "Come along my boy."

I send Lullaby back into the ring.

"Master... I would like to take an S-Class Quest."

"Hm?" He hums as we begin walking. "Alright. Which one?"

"The mission that terrifies wizards all over the continent... Galuna Island."

"Galuna?!" He mutters, eyes widening slightly, he looks over, a skeptical look on his face one that fades as his eyes widen slightly.

"You... You know something, don't you?"

"I do indeed, master." I smirk. "Galuna island is a location that focuses moonlight... that makes it an ideal location for the Moon Drip Ritual. That spell creates a sort of... film over the island that tints the moon purple. The thing is, master, is that said film only appears after the spell is used repeatedly.

"And... what of this moon drip ritual? What is it?"

"it is a magic that can break seals. One that grows drastically more potent each and every day as the film above the island works as a sort of... focusing lens for the seal breaking effect."

"That mission is quite old." The man observes. "About two years... and if the film takes time to appear. Surely they must have been doing the ritual for quite some time beforehand... which begs the question... what is being unsealed?"

"And could it be used as a core for a sacred gear?" I grin.

"Very well. Go to Galuna."

"Might I borrow Aria? There is no sense in going there and not completing the quest. Once more it will look quite good when we complete such a 'dangerous' and 'unorthodox' request. Plus the gold celestial spirit key they are offering might be useful as a core. I'm unsure... I didn't want to use Virgo as one because it just... seemed like such a waste."

"Ah. You'd have issues getting up to the film." The man observes. "Very well. I will contact him soon enough. he will likely want a majority of the reward if you are find this that."

"Thank you, Master. That is fine. I merely want the key." I smile.

"Ah, think nothing of it, Young Arthur. I am a firm believer that those with potential should be nourished... and it isn't as if I will not benefit from your growth."

Well. Here's a new Idea. Guy making sacred gears in Fairy Tail.
As you can see, he's quite the piece of work. And, much like Merlin Ambrosius of Fairy Tail, Arthur Pendragon of Phantom Lord shall act as a bit of a dark voice of reason...
No, this isn't a shared universe. They both are in their separate Fairy Tail universes.
