《Journey Through The Magical World》 1 Death Sebastian Smith didn''t have a good life. He was born into a family which was extremely poor, because of a massive debt that they have not repayed, nor will they ever be able to. His family consisted of his mother, father and 2 twin sister. Even though they were poor they were always smiling around him. When Sebastian learned of the reason for why they were poor he decided to study hard and get a good job in the future. While he was in high school he applied as a waiter at a local diner for minimum wage. In his high school years he didn''t have many friend maybe 3 or 4. He also never had a girlfriend, because he thought that it wasn''t necessary. Most of his time was spent studying and this also made it possible for him to get a scholarship for a college near the capital. In college he was able to keep a 4.5GPA. In his second year of college when he was walking home he felt a sharp pain and then everything went black. When he woke up he tried to move but noticed that he couldn''t. He looked down and saw that his arms and legs were tied to a chair. "Well, well, well look who''s finnaly awake. Did you have a nice dream?" said a man dressed in a suit and wore sunglasses even though he was indoors. "Who are you? Where am I?" asked Sebastian still confused we he was tied up. "Don''t worry about it kid. The only thing you need to know is that you''re not gonna like what''s about to happen." he said with a sadistic grin on his face. "And what''s gonna hap¡­" before Sebastian could finish his sentence the man stomped on his groin. Sebastian screamed loudly but it wasn''t the end. As soon as he started screaming the man punched him in the face and broke Sebastians nose. The punch left Sebastian half unconscious. "Now be a good boy and wait here I''ll be right back." said the man as he left the room. A couple of minutes later the man came back with a knife and Sebastian saw it was very sharp. The second thing that the man had was rusty saw which hadn''t been cleaned in a long time maybe even years. And finaly the last thing that Sebastian saw the man bring in was a sledgehammer. At this point Sebastian didn''t know what to do he knew that he couldn''t escape as the rope was very thick. While his brain was in overdrive about how to get out of this situation the man came closer to him with the knife in hand. "Hm? Which ear should I cut of?" asked the man. Sebastian got scared before he could even respond the man grabed his ear and started cutting it off very slowly. The man was enjoying every second of hearing Sebastian scream. This went on for half an hour as the man was doing it very slowly. When he was done Sebastians throat was sore and he couldn''t scream any more. The man decided to step it up a notch as that wasn''t enough for him. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. He picked up the sledgehammer and swung it full force on Sebastians left arm. Sebastian thought that he couldn''t scream anymore but the man proved him wrong as right now he screamed even more loudly than before. The man swung the sledgehammer on his left hand 3 more times before he moved on to his right hand. He did this repeatedly for 4 more times. When he stopped he had a sadistic grin from ear to ear. "Now didn''t that make you more feel better?" he asked with his grin getting even wider. Sebastian just looked at him with hatred in his eyes. "Oh? You''re still not broken? Well this is getting better and better!!" The man swung the sledgehammer one more time but this time he didn''t aim for his hands and went for groin. Screams echoed in the room and Sebastian even thought that he was going to die just from that one blow. After he couldn''t scream anymore he passed out. "Eh?" the man was suprised. "Did he die? No can''t be, he''s still brething. Well that was fun, I''ll see ya tommorow kid!" said the man as he left the room. The next day it was even worse as the man cut of both his legs with that rusty saw and even made Sebastian infected. This went on for a week before it all changed. As the man walked into the room there were 2 big burly bodyguards behind him. When Sebastian saw who the burly men were carrying, his whole world fell apart. "Hey kid I got bored since you started screaming less. So I brought your family to play with us!" said the man in a suit. The bodyguards threw his parents and sisters on the ground. "So to make you break again I decided that the best way to do that is to make you watch as my bodyguards **** your mother and sisters. Oh and we don''t need you anymore." the man said coldly and took out a pistol and shot Sebastians father in the head. His body went limp and he fell on the floor, blood fowing from his body. His mother and sisters were screaming while Sebastian couldn''t scream anymore and he could only cry. The bodyguards took off their clothes and started raping his sisters and mother while the man was holding Sebastians head and forcing his eyes open. This continued for a few hours until the women passed out. When they were done the man took out his pistol and shot them in the head. Sebastian didn''t know what to do anymore. He watched as his family, which he loved and they loved him back, be killed right in front of his eyes. ''Why? Why me? What did I ever do to deserve this?'' he thought. ''What''s the point to live anymore? Fuck it. I don''t care anymore. I''ll just commit suicide! I would rather die by my own hands that having to be tortured anymore and then killed.'' Sebastian bit his tongue, his body went limp and after a few seconds he died. The man was pissed. "What the fuck kid!!!! Motherfucker!! I was planing on playing with you a bit more!! Damn it!!" the man screamed as he flipped the table and the chair in which Sebastians corpse was sitting. When the man calmed down he turned to his bodyguards and said "Dispose of the bodies, I dont want to see them anymore." "Yes, sir!" replied the men and quickly went to dispose of the bodies. 2 Reincarnation and The new world In the deep abyss where nothing resides, stood 2 men. One looked to be in his 20''s while the other looked like he was in his 80''s. When the young man finally opened his eyes the older man spoke "So, you finally decided to wake up, huh?" These words left the young man who is Sebastian confused. "What do you mean finally? How long was I asleep?" "About 2 years." replied the old man. Sebastian was looking around and saw that they were the only one''s there. "Ok. I''m guessing you''re God, what do you want?" God was confused. "Are you not gonna question why you''re here?" Sebastian replied like he was talking to an idiot "You do realise that I commited suicide, right? Did you think I would be so stupid, that I wouldn''t know where I am? So what do you want with me?" Both went quiet for a second before God replied "Yeah, sorry. It''s just people usually don''t react like you did. Anyway I saw your life and I felt bad for you. So I decided to reincarnate you and also grant you five wishes." "And who said I wanted your pity, huh? But fine, tell me where I''m going to so I can plan what my wishes are." said Sebastian a bit annoyed. "You''ll be reincarnated in a world with magic named Naavis. There are 5 continents, the west continent Iyira where the Elves (the arrogant ones) reside, the east continent Aefeon where the beastmen reside, the north continent Cranoa where the Dwarfs reside, the south continent Gresin where the Demons reside and lastly the centrao continent Eoroa where the Humans reside. The powers are ranked from F to SS the same for Warriors and Magicians. The monsters are ranked Harmful, which can be killed by 1 E-rank adventurers, Dangerous which can be killed by 2 C-rank adventurers, Disaster which can be killed by 3 A-rank adventurers and finally Apocalypse which can only be killed by a party of 3 S-rank and 2 SS-rank adventurers." "Ok, give some time to think of my wishes." God agreed and after a few minutes Sebastian said "I''m ready. For my first wish I want to have affinity with space and time magic. For my second wish I want a status panel like in games, but I only want it to show my stats and nothing else. For my third wish I want good talent for everything, not amazing or horrible but also not average. Fourt wish I want Alucards bloodline. And for my final wish I want to change my appearance for this new world." "Hm? Well for Alucards bloodline I can only give you his immortality, is that alright?" asked God. Sebastian thought about it and said that thats fine aswell. The next second a screen appeared in front of Sebastian, which looked like the character customization screen in every RPG ever created. Sebastian gave himself short black hair, cold blue eyes with a chiseled face and a lean body. His face looked very cold but handsome aswell. He decided that he didn''t want to be to handsome, but just handsome enough. His height was set to 193cm (6 foot 4 inches). When everything was done God looked and Sebastian and said "Well, that''s that. You ready?" Sebastian looked at God and just said "Do it." As soon as Sebastian said that he fell asleep. When he woke up he saw that he was in the middle of a forest. "Typical." said Sebastian while he was looking around. ''First I gotta find some food and water. Then I''ll go looking for a cave to spend the night in.'' He tried to listen if he could hear any running water and to his luck there was a river 100 meters (328 feet) away. When he was walking to there he decided to take a look at his stats. ''Stats'' when he thought about seeing his stats a black window with white letters appeared.

As he got closer to the river he saw that someone was bathing. He decided to nit desturb them and just go farther down the river. When he got to a big rock he sat crossleged on it and started trying out his magic. ''So let''s see what I can even do with it right now.'' He clicked on affinity and screen changed it only showed the description of the affinities. [Time: Able to stop time for a certain duration. Current max is 10 seconds. Able to stop time for longer duration with higher understanding of time.] [Space: Able to store things in a pocket dimension. Current max is 1cubic meters. Able to create portal and teleport to any location that have been visited before. Pocket dimension increases with higher understanding of space.] ''Ok, self explanatory. Let me first check out Time.'' After a few minutes of trying he finaly got it to work. When it time started to move again he tried to use it again, but it didn''t work. ''Oh, se there is a cool down time. Well I hope it''s not to long.'' He kept trying to activate it but it only worked half an hour later. ''Hmm, I wonder if I could just slow down time and not completely stop it?'' He tried for an hour when it finnaly worked. He was able to slow down time so it moved at only half the speed. Next he tried Space. He first tried to open his pocket dimension, he noticed that in it were two things a cool looking Assassin''s Creed type rope which was all black and the other thing was an ordinary sword you can get anywhere. ''Cool, I always liked how these robes looked. Maybe I''ll ask a blacksmith to make me some hiden blades. And last but not least let''s try teleporting, but to where?'' After some thinking he decided to go back to a fruit tree saw earlier as he was getting hungry. When he had his fill he starded looking for a cave. After half an hour of searching he spoted a cave that looked like noone was living in. The next day all he did was to train his body and reflexes. ~Time skip 1 month~ After a month of Spartan training he noticed that it''s way harder to inprove than he first thought. ''So let''s see a months worth of practice.'' He brought up his stats and noticed some changes. [Name: Sebastian Smith Age: Immortal Health: 160/160 Mana: 250/250 Strenght: 23 (normal adult is 10) Vitality: 16 Defense: 15 Agility: 14 Intellegence: 25] [Affinities: Time and Space] [Bloodline: Alucard ] [Skills: Swordsmanship {Beginner}] "Not bad!" he said happily. In this one month he was also explored a third of the forest. He found out that in this forest only exist Harmful level monsters and some Dangerous level monsters. When he was still looking at his stats he suddenly heard a growl from some nearby bushes. As soon as he turned around he was shocked with what he saw. 3 Chapter 3 Turning around he saw an ostrich. It was taller than him standing at about 2.5 meters (about 8 foot and 2 inches). It was looking straight at him. Eyes bloody red. It feathers charcoal black and its skin strawberry pink. Its eyes showed an interest in the human in front of it. Slowly walking towards him with its long legs, Sebastian put up his guard. ''An ostrich? You usually don''t see them in fantasy stories.'' Seeing that the human got into a fighting stance, the ostrich thought that it was threatening it. Realising this it started to pick up its pace. Before it was just slowly walking, but now it was already running at full sprint towards him. Sebastian knowing he can''t face such a fast monster, he quickly activated his Time magic. Time stopped immediately, the ostrich was stopped just a few feet in front of him. ''Better make this quick!'' Taking out the sword from his pocket dimension, he slashed at the ostrich. He was aiming to slice off its neck from its body. Right as it connected, the sword broke. ''WHAT?!'' This made Sebastian frightened, as this sword was able to cut Harmful monsters, but he hasn''t tried it on a Dangerous monster. He knew he wasn''t a match with a Dangerous monster. Seeing that his Time magic was about to end, he quickly used Space magic and teleported away. As time slowly resumed, the ostrich looked around confused. The human was just in front of it, how could he just disappear. Noticing that the human left his food here, the ostrich ate it and left satisfied. Somewhere near a river, a portal appeared and out of it jumped out Sebastian. Sweat was running down his face, his clothes were drenched. He was panting while he lay his hands on his knees. "What the fuck was that thing made of?! Even a sword breaks on its neck?!" Right now, he believed that if he didn''t escape he would have died. ''No point fighting a losing battle.'' Finally catching his breath, he looked towards the river in front of him. Then he looked at his clothes. ''I guess I should take a bath,'' he sighed. Taking off his clothes, he went into the river. After properly cleaning himself, he had to think about what to do next. ''Well, I don''t have a sword anymore. Maybe I should learn different magic?'' While thinking this, he looked at the river. Then he suddenly had an idea. ''Wait, if I can learn water magic, then does that mean that I can control blood? Since blood is mostly water, then can I also control other living things. Can I completely stop someone''s blood flow? But how long would it take for them to die if I did that? They won''t die in just a few seconds right?'' His brain went into overdrive. If he could control blood to stop flowing, then this could be very dangerous. Even if this world was in the medieval ages, there still should be someone who knows how to manipulate blood. ''Still, this is a good time to learn water magic. If it''s flowing so fast in the river, then it should make it more difficult to manipulate.'' Sebastian sat cross-legged next to the river with his eyes closed. He first started with trying to use the magic particles around the water to make the river flow in a different direction. After about half an hour, he was finally able to stop a small spot of the river. He wasn''t able to make it change direction, but still stopping it a little was good progress. And so his training for water magic started. He tried to stop more and more of the river every day for about three hours. After training water magic, he went to find something to eat. Then it was training time magic and after that training space magic. After training, he went to sleep. Waking up he repeated this for two months. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two months later [Name: Sebastian Smith Age: Immortal Health: 200/200 Mana: 290/290 Strength: 25 (normal adult is 10) Vitality: 20 Defence: 18 Agility: 17 Intelligence: 29] [Affinities: Time, Space, Water] [Bloodline: Alucard ] "Ok, this is good. I''m making good progress." Sebastian was happy with how he was doing. He was now also able to stop time for half a minute. His pocket dimension also grew, it now has a space of 1.5 cubic meters. ''Still, I wish I could find a new sword.'' he sighed. Sebastian went to the river and sat down. ''Now let''s try to make it bend to my will.'' Saying this Sebastian started to manipulate the particles around the water. He first made it go straight up. It was a little hard, but he was able to do it quickly. After it went straight up he started to make it bend. He tried to make a ball, an arrow-like shape and a sword-like shape from the water. He was satisfied. After training, he started to sweat as the Sun was quite strong. He took off his clothes and jumped into the river. After cleaning himself, he started to walk out of the river. Just as he was about to be on the shore, he heard a noise. Quickly taking a fighting stance, he was on high alert. After a few seconds, something came out of the bushes. After he saw what came out of the bushes Sebastian didn''t know if this was good or bad for him. What came out of the bushes? A human. 4 Interaction Seeing a human for the first time since he came to this place, Sebastian got a little excited. But he didn''t know if the human in front of him had good or bad intentions after seeing him. The human was wearing a cloak, so he wasn''t able to see if it was a man or woman. He was shorter than Sebastian. "Who are you?" asked Sebastian as he grabbed his clothes to hide his body. The person didn''t answer his question and only stared at him. Not knowing what to do, they just stared at each other. Finally, after a few minutes of staring the person started to take off its cloak. "My name is Asteria Lightheart." What was under the cloak was a young woman. She looked to be in her teens. She had long blonde hair and emerald-green eyes. Her face was oval and her cheeks were light pink. Sebastian thought that she looked very adorable. Still, he didn''t let down his guard. "What''s a girl like you doing here?" "What do you mean ''a girl like me''?!" She got angry at him. Was he looking down just because she was a girl? "I just meant that this forest is dangerous. And what''s with the cloak? Are you trying to hide from somebody?" said Sebastian. Hearing his question, she looked at the floor. Sebastian took this as a yes. Not wanting to bother with the girl, he started walking in a different direction. Seeing that he started walking away, she quickly shouted at him. "W-Wait!" Stopping in his tracks, he turned around. "What?" The words were stuck in her throat and she couldn''t say what she wanted. Sebastian saw this and gave her a few seconds to speak. A couple of seconds later she finally spoke. "PLEASE MARRY ME!" Sebastian nearly fell due to the shock. Did he hear correctly? A random girl he just met, asked him to marry her? She saw the confusion on his face and tried to explain. "N-No, wait! I-I meant just pretend to marry me!" Due to embarrassment, she started stuttering. Sebastian got even more confused. What the hell is happening? After a couple of seconds, she finally calmed down and started to explain better. "I''m being forced into a marriage. And I don''t even like the guy my father wants me to marry. So I wondered if you could pretend to marry me so my father could give up on the other guy." This explanation made much more sense. He started to think about it and responded with a simple: "No." Hearing him, her face fell. "What?" "I said no." "Yeah, I heard you. But why did you say no?" "Why? Because it seems troublesome. I can see that you''re royalty. If I marry you that''s just going to make trouble for me. Besides, you don''t know anything about me. I could be a murderer for all you know." Sebastian had a good excuse. It will only cause trouble for him if he married her. She agreed that they just met and knew nothing about each other. "Well let me introduce myself then. My name i-" Before she could continue, he stopped her. "Stop! I don''t need to know. I''m just going to leave." She tried calling for him to stop, but he just ignored her. This made her upset. How dare he ignore her? No one had ever ignored her. She started stomping her foot on the ground. Ignoring her, Sebastian left. She had trouble written all over her. He walked behind some bushes and created a portal. In a cave somewhere else a portal opened and Sebastian went through. In the cave was a make-shift bed with a campfire next to it. Beside the wall were some meat and fruit on the floor. He took some meat and put it on a stick to grill over the campfire. After eating, he went to sleep. The next morning when he opened his eyes, there was something in front of his face. It was the girl from yesterday. Getting scared, he stood up as fast as he could. "What are you doing here?!" "I''m here to convince you to marry me!" Sebastian was left speechless. Why didn''t she give up when he said no? "I already said no. I''m not going to marry you." "Why not!?" "Because you''re annoying. Now go away!" "No!" Sebastian didn''t know how to get the girl to leave. "Why even me? Just find someone else," said Sebastian. "No!" "Why not?!" She didn''t answer and just blushed. He saw this. "Why are you blushing?" "I''m not!" Sebastian got a headache talking to her. Can''t she leave? Leave me, alone woman! "Just leave already! I''m not going to marry you no matter what you say!" When she heard this, tears started to roll down her cheeks. Sebastian didn''t care that she was crying. He still had a question that needed to be answered. "Besides, how did you find where I was?" She wiped her tears and showed a proud expression on her face. "That''s easy! I just followed your footprints!" "You guessed. Didn''t you?" "N-No." She looked at the floor with a blush on her cheeks. He didn''t want to talk to her and started to leave his cave. The girl seeing him leave followed him. Arriving at the river, he turned around towards her. "Are you going to watch me bathe as well?" She once again blushed. He started to take off his clothes. When she saw him take off his clothes, she quickly covered her face with her hands. He quickly cleaned himself. After that, he dried himself and put on his clothes. Turning towards her he said: "So how long do you intend to pester me?" "Until you agree to marry me!" "I told you no. Find someone else." "NO!" "Tell me why you don''t want to find someone else then?!" She started to blush and fidgeting. After a couple of seconds of silence, Sebastian had enough and said: "If you''re not going to tell me, then I''m leaving!" Suddenly, he felt a tug on his shirt. In a quiet voice, she said: "It''s because you''re handsome." "What was that. I didn''t hear you." "I said it''s because you''re handsome!" Now he really got annoyed. "Just because of that?! Listen here brat! There are a lot of handsome people! Just find one and ask him to marry you! Stop bothering me!" He started walking away. The girl was left there. Alone, on the brink of tears.
