It has been 3 months since I arrived at the capital, and I must say my life has never been better.
Sophia and her mother were extremely welcoming and they gave me a job working as a chef in their inn, and to say they were surprised when I first cooked for them would be an understatement. In fact they loved it so much they always had me cook their meals, and who was I to refuse when they had been so welcoming to me?
Anyways aside from working at the inn I had been keeping up my training not much else had happened but my birthday will be soon.
In two days the entrance exams will begin and my birthday will be tomorrow, so I am just of age in order to participate it would kind of suck if I had to wait another year because of 1 day.
My only problem however is Sophia seems to be getting quite attached to me. I don't know if it's just a small crush due to me helping her in the alley, or if it's gratitude for helping their inn flourish, but nonetheless she is getting a bit too attached for my liking.
Don't get me wrong Sophia is a very cute girl, but I just can't seem to bring myself to find any attraction to her no matter how hard I try. My progress with training has been coming along quite nicely, I have reached mid demon warrior stage with physical training which lets me lift around 50 tonnes of weight and tier 20 scholar level which is supposed to be the level of a 5th year of the magic academy's all elemental students.
I am hoping I don't stand out too much but I have learned that will most likely be impossible. Not to be a narcissist or anything but I am very handsome, whether it be my abyss black hair with white streaks, or my rainbow eyes that seem to soothe the soul, I stick out like a sore thumb no matter where I go.
Honestly I sometimes envy the more average looking people I pass, they don't have to deal with people automatically thinking you are arrogant because of you looks, nor do they have people asking you out for no reason aside from they think you look good.
I will never understand why people see looks as something so attractive. In my opinion I think that their personality and work ethic is much more attractive, after all you wouldn't want a spouse who does nothing more than spout nonsense about how unlucky their life is because when they don't do anything to work towards a better one. I have seen it in way too many couples to want it to happen to me. If I ever find love I hope it's somebody who can actually stand tall by my side and not cower in the face of adversity, because somewhere in my soul I know that in my life I will face no small amount of trouble.
With these thoughts I climb the stairs of the inn that I stay in to my temporary room of the last 3 months and meditate for the rest of the night, strengthening myself with the elements I gather from the air.
I woke up from my meditative state the next morning with a small grin on my face. Who wouldn't be happy about being a year older especially when I am finally of age to learn real magic. I can practically feel how amazing it would be to mould the very energy that makes up our world to fit my purposes. Creating wind blades strong enough to cleave a mountain. Controlling metals so finely I could make weapons no blacksmith could ever hope to create normally. Even using water to cook in such a fine way that my already near perfect creations go beyond their limit and become divine.
Suddenly I feel a burst of energy erupt from my body as I feel a small probe in my mind. As I slip into meditation to see what just happened I am delighted to see that my personal magic, or null magic is finally unlocked. Quickly without any hesitation I cast the spell, [Soul Space] and my surrounding morph.
As I open my eyes once more I see myself floating in front of a massive expanse of land with 3 statues on all 3 sides in a triangular formation. In the center of it all there is a massive mansion that has little wisps of what I assume to be my experiences floating around. As I float towards there I see that there are 3 massive libraries in front of each of the 3 statues that seem to depict the three primordials, the one on the left being the void, the one on the right being the chaos, and the largest one right in front of me being knull.
As I walk into the mansion I start to organize all the wisps and compile them into a large book that lets me have a much clearer mind and total access to all my memories even if it was from being in the womb. Next I walk over to the statue of the void and enter its library to see something that truly shocked me. Sitting in the center of a massive room filled to the brim with books I see a small fragmented soul floating there staring at me with lifeless eyes. As I approach I can feel something telling me to touch it.
Following my instincts I reach out and grab the small fragment of the soul and almost immediately I collapse from the ground in pain and I am ejected from my soul space at rapid paces.
Hours later I wake up gasping for air sweat soaking my clothes like I had just taken a bath. That's when it hit me, massive floods of information about void magic that utilized the energy of the primordials, floods of information straight from the inherited soul of the void inside my soul.
