it's been a couple of years ever since the global apocalypse happened... well I say apocalypse but really it's just our world being overreactive on the simplest of problems... all of the schools worldwide closed down half a year later from the whole thing, military beginning to start on magic research... really...
----------
"THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!"
I never would've thought about magic as reality! I've been playing games using magic and all but finally getting to use magic? and it's not street magic! we can finally have 3rd-grade syndrome and we won't feel embarrassed about it!
after learning that we could use magic, people started to fly around, create chaos, it's truly a spectacle...
"Haahh... this is the life" the costumes I've been hiding ever since I got hung up on games... I've been wearing this ever since I started using magic, and now that my family started to leave our house and head for the shelter, I ran off and went on to see my friends, all of them can also use magic and even started to fight each other to know our strengths, which was probably the worst thing that could've happened
we were supposed to meet up in a cliffside and start to show off, and the first to arrive was me, and a couple more.
"Hey, Ron, why don't we start of with a tussle?" Edrick, my friend since elementary, we've been playing games for a long time and have been shutting himself from strangers.
"sure! hey Lin! why don't you join us?"
"no thanks, you can have your fun while I learn how to perfect mine". Lin I honestly don't know who she is... but she was invited by some people we know... to hell with it, the more, the merrier
"Alright! Ron, you better not die on me alright!?"
"I could say the same thing to you! Fire Bolt!" lightning strikes began to ravage the area, flames and loud crashing of thunder could be heard from the distance
"Heh, not bad but your that's not enough to break Aegis! Gunpoint!" a sharp, piercing light began to shoot from his fingers, it left a cool trail and even pierced the rock behind me
the fighting wasn't long but a couple of others joined in from my class, we began to shout nonsense and even started to cast magic that would've probably destroyed the world.
after a few minutes, we stopped our nonsensical but fun mage fight, this could be seen either bliss or chaos.
"Hey guys! didn't the news from a year and a half ago say that the demon lord was in an Island in the pacific coast? why don't we defeat him and become the heroes of the world!"
"Hey hey! you think the demon king will be weak? what if we die in the process" Lin's counter with the plan wasn't enough, or probably useless, the guys around him was blinded by their power that even if she was to stop them, it would only turn to even more debate.
"Alright, fine, but how do the pacific Island's far! we're going to travel half of the world!"
"Silly Lin, don't you know we have magic?" he began to float with control, some others follow suit, birds that can fly, sprouting luminescent wings, it really did look like something that came out from a fantasy book
"nothing's going to stop all of you huh? then I'm going too"
"aww... you scared that you wouldn't get anything?"
"I'm coming so that we have an assurance for your lives"
"Come on Lin, we're practically the strongest people on earth right now! we're unstoppable!"
all of us began to fly at the speed of sound to the Demon lord's place. all of us had the look of having fun, with excited faces, we all finally saw a reason to live in this boring world
. . .
. .
.
we finally arrive from the island and we were greeted with the man... woman herself?
"-==-=--" she's talking gibberish... I don't understand a thing...
"It's time for you to die Demon Lord! Fire tempest!"
the others follow suit and began to cause havoc in the island.
"HAHAHAHA!!!! yes!!! the rush of power is swelling in my Hand!! Run amok Dark Shadow!"
"Feel the wrath of my pain! Lightning rain!"
all of us were having fun, until two other people arrived quite calmly, let's just say that they experienced death quite swiftly
"Hahahahaha!!! boy! Edrick! see any others!?"
"yeah, having fun with magic?"
"YEAH! It's fun!"
as soon as we stopped the onslaught a girl in white clothing similar to theirs started to run towards us
"STOP! WOULD YOU ALL PLEASE STOP!"
hmm? was she human? perhaps they kidnapped her!
"Don't worry! we'll save you! hop on!"
"NAOYA! NOW!"
"!?"
we all fell unconscious, was she... traitor...
----------------
I finally woke up only to find myself tied up with the other, what happened...
"Ahhh... I see that one of you are finally awake"
"a-ahh! your the traitor! what do you think you're doing!?"
"Traitor? oh, right, My name's Rin Isanov, and no I'm no traitor why don't I guide you around?"
as she started to lift me up not even untying me... a girl about in her teens and a girl with a mask entered the tent. they began to talk gibberish... so she's with them!
"Look here! once I escape this rope you're all dead to us!"
"--=-_=-=+. oh? you said something? anyway it'd be best to refrain from using magic,"
while she was carrying me with a carriage, I found Lin sitting in a tablet nearby
"O-oy! Lin! save me!"
"Haahhh... be thankful that I'm here you dunce..."
"Wha- what are you talking about!?"
"you'll know soon enough..."
"You traitor! your dead to me once their all finished!"
"There, all neat and tightly... best if you behave while I wait for my seniors... well probably junio- EEk! L-Liliya! y-you're here!?"
a beautiful girl in weird clothing began to talk with the girl in front of me... I still don't know what they're talking about... but I need to find a way to escape... That's it! Lin can help me!
"Psst! Psst! Lin, Lin Help me!"
"oh, it's the idiot who thought he can defeat the demon lord, sup?"
"Shut up and help me here! you're in with us! they'll kill us!"
"correction, you guys will be killed, not me, isn't that right Rin?"
"Yeah, our name sounds the same, why don't I give you a nickname?"
"nah, I won't be here long. what're you gonna do to us?"
"since you know where they live why don' you return all of them?"
L-Lin's talking with them!? she truly was a traitor!
"Lin! I thought you were with us!"
"you all forced me, didn't I say I was her for assurance? all of you won't die and honestly, I doubt you could even kill one of their soldiers"
"Nonsense! I can destroy any demon with magic! watch me!"
"alright then, Rin, sorry for a sudden request but can you release this idiot for now? I'll set up the TP pad."
"yosh, yosh" the metallic rope untangled itself and I began to muster up all of my game knowledge and come up with a spell that can destroy this world in one swipe!"
"It was your fault for releasing me! Grand nuclear!"
as soon as he chanted the spell, the radiation slowly increased in the vicinity, for a normal person, this would've been detrimental but I didn't taken to account two things.
"You fool! you kill everyone here even your friends!"
"A proper sacrifice for the weak!"
「I'm really sorry but can you rob him of his magic for one second? I'll try to straighten the place out for a second」
「sure, that kid's a real trouble maker huh?」
a girl in a lab coat began to hold his hand to me and chanted something I couldn't comprehend but was fairly understandable
「"Mute"」
suddenly, I couldn't use magic, I tried and tried, cast every little thing I could but it wasn't possible
"A...- am I back to being a normal person?"
"apparently so, for the time being anyways. so, do you know your limits right now?"
"Why... WHY WHY WHY!"
"Eesh... can't believe some people like you exist... anyway thanks Rin, you're a life saver"
"don't thank me, thank Mei, I can't use sealing magic like hers"
"Really? then Thank you for helping me and my friends... no, just these people"
「------=-=-=-=-=」
「-==-==-」
. . .
"she said you're welcome to stay for the time being, she could use a way to learn information about this world"
"Really... then it's an honor to be working with you, now if you'll excuse me, Ron, I hope you learned your lesson"
still paranoid and with a face of hatred, I angrily walked and flew away without even a single word.
--------
right now, I learned what my mistake was... I can see what went wrong, and I can still improve, the others were delivered to our last place still incapacitated.
"I think I'll see the world slowly... who fights the final boss in the first chapter anyway?... well... I can think of a few games but it seems like my luck stat just wasn't that great..."
well... I guess I'll start from the beginner's area
--------------
「hey, Lin, who are you really?」
「hmm? nothing really, just someone with a cool head and can actually think」
「hmm... then why don't you join u... no... that's impossible」
「well, if someone wasn't originally from your world then I couldn't think of understanding a single thing」
「yeah, anyway how's the feeling of magic? as a former citizen of this place, I couldn't help but feel curious」
「nothing much happened... what year did you say you died?」
「I believe it was 2014?」
「oh? really? well it's 20xx today! so you're not that far off, so... technically, nothing much has happened since your death」
「ehh... well that's too bad... anyway I have a few question but that'll be for a later time, why don't I introduce you to the people here?」
they're nicer than expected...
「this is Mei, and she's our greatest mind in our world」
「she was the one who casted the seal right?」
「yeah but the magic the people uses here are so versatile that the elite soldiers are probably going to be in trouble if a thousand comes」
「a thousand... boy did we really pick on the worst guys huh?」
「haha... well if a thousand comes then it's nothing to Liliya, she can probably take on a million and still be fine」
th-that's scary...
「and the one talking to her is Arie, don't ever try to take off her mask...」
she shivers and suddenly looked as if she was tortured... what's the story on that?
「there's also Ingrid and Naoya, but they're not here today. and the last one is Theia but she's on the other side supporting us financially」
well... I can certainly say that the people here in our world is hopeless in fighting them... haahh...
