Chapter 1:
Constant constinuity
"I don't remember crying before since my mother passed away," he replied, searching for an
explanation for his actions, which were inconsistent with his own thoughts. In the end, his father
managed to convince his mother that he would protect him with his life. A few months later,
Stuart's first mission began. It was a reconnaissance mission to a cave from which monsters
periodically emerged. What he didn't know was that there would be villagers on the mission.
"Son, Stuart, on some missions, because they're low-risk, villagers are given the opportunity to
participate and receive a reward. But just give it your all. If you feel weak, just tell me, and I'll
get you out right away," his father told him, his face beaming with confidence and joy.
Upon entering the cave some corpses appeared which they left behind, the deeper they went
there were fewer corpses and when they reached the end they saw some bipedal monsters that
used the skins of the corpses and tried to talk, at the moment in which a villager threw a flame
towards the monsters with tears in his eyes, the monsters attacked him and dispersed the fire,
while from the new and deeper darkness came a voice that said
-Do that one more time and everyone dies- that voice responded while the muffled screams of
the first villager could be heard in the background, the guards said that they just didn't turn on
any kind of light, they said it with such calm that some villagers fled from the cave, the only
guard who seemed worried was Enrique, Stuart's father, who didn't escape.
Stuart tried to attack them with a wind spell that only cut some walls according to what had
been heard, so he decided to throw fireballs and flames all over the place, so that when they
tried to put them out, he would attack them with earth magic.
In a room that had once been dark, the light from the incandescent fire grew, while the villagers
screamed because just by looking at the creatures they pounced on them and proceeded to kill
them, the guards tried to protect them and Enrique with a face of terror watched as his son
burned them all equally, the only thing that could be heard from Stuart was how he laughed
while killing the creatures that began to cry and scream.
Thanks to the incident several villagers died and neighbors began to spread rumors about the
boy from the Grandlight family, it was said that there was no monster in the cave and he only
killed the villagers for pleasure and since his father is a guard he was able to find a way to avoid
being judged, the mother was just glad that her son was safe, but the father was just a little
confused that he didn't recognize that laughter he heard in the cave.
The kingdom's guard approached the boy, saying that he no longer needed to worry about the
rumors or join the guard, that he had proven his ingenuity and worth. That same night, Henry
had been summoned to arrange the paperwork for his son's affiliation with the guard for a future
contract. The only thing heard in the house was that the door was broken. Stuart, upon seeing
who it was, saw his mother seriously injured and gagged, with two men and one woman with
knives threatening the boy.
-You were the one who killed them, but this world is corrupt and no one believes us so let's kill
a monster before it grows and is worse than now- said one of his neighbors as he lunged at him
with a knife, Stuart avoided the first attack, but the second man attacked him and scratched part
of his leg, to this Stuart responded with a wind attack which stunned the first man against the
wall and hit the second with a bloody rubble from the wall with which he slammed the first man,
the woman took out a firearm and shot at the boy who created a rock wall with earth magic but
the bullet passed through this and hit him in the neck.
As he watched his father run toward him, his mother crying, trying to scream his name through
the gag in her mouth. Stuart fell to the ground, and seeing his parents, he closed his eyes,
accepting his death.
When he opened his eyes he only saw a white environment and heard a voice saying his name.
-Mr. Sato………. doctor, the patient has woken up-shouted a female voice that was moving away
Faced with this, Stuart or now Judge Shishi Sato wondered - what happened to me and what am
I doing here -
Chapter 2: Coming Home
Some time after waking up, Shishi Sato learned that he had been in a coma for a year, which
confirmed that the previous experience was just a dream. The doctors discharged him a few
weeks later and at the same time the police went to see him to answer some questions.
-Mr. Sato, we need your son to come to the police station for a moment, we need to ask him
some questions about what happened- an officer told Shishi's father, when he received the news
that his son had woken up he was immensely happy but the happiness disappeared into a
grimace of fear.
Shishi went to the police station and asked what had happened, to which the police responded
that the day he had the accident he was found near an abandoned place where the bodies of a
newly married couple had been found.
-Mr. Sato, a few days before your incident, several murders were discovered and no survivors
except for you. We also learned that you had a relationship with some of the previous victims
and now we ask you to help our investigation. - the police asked him, to which Shishi responded.
-I don't remember anything before that, I just remember waking up and hearing muffled screams
with a classical song playing in the background, then I just remember running through the woods
and a light, then nothing- with the same unsympathetic look he'd always had.
After a few weeks of police investigations, they put Shishi as a possible target and that they
would protect him in case the murderer appears again. The murders increased and Shishi
without caring about any of that had a New Year's party with his family, there was his father, a
reserved man who was never the same since his wife died in a car accident, he and his youngest
son Shishi survived, since then the father looked suspiciously at Shishi and some of his relatives,
who got used to him over time; there was his older brother Kitaro, he looked happy with
everyone except for some relatives and his brother whom he saw with a look of discontent, his
wife was a victim of the murderer but she had not been seen to cry even once, then only his
cousin was missing who was murdered with her husband the day Shishi escaped from the
murderer and was left in a coma.
After the party, Shishi wandered the streets, trying to clear his mind of the hateful insults his
father and brother had inflicted on him. On his walk, he found a young woman passed out on
the street. He took her home and put her to sleep on the couch with a short note explaining
what had happened. By morning, the girl had left, leaving him a note of gratitude, telling him she would visit him again for the gesture he had made her. For the next few weeks, Shishi
dreamed of the world he had dreamed of in his coma.
-I've never heard of anything like this, it all made too much sense to be a dream, tomorrow I will
investigate this matter thoroughly and see if something similar happened to someone elseShishi explained with the logic she had and planned to go and investigate the truth of what
happened to her. As she closed her eyes, a shadow entered the house and consequently her
room, at that moment a silver glow that resembled a heart-shaped necklace woke Shishi up, but
when he did, the person who broke into the house took out a knife with which he stabbed Shishi
multiple times, who felt each of the stabs
-Don't close your eyes, if you do you won't open them again- he whispered in a deep voice to
Shishi who was bleeding constantly. When he finally closed his eyes the pain disappeared and
he woke up in a bed in which his mother Susan was sleeping in a chair next to where he was
sleeping.
-Mom, what happened? - I asked her after waking her up with small touches to her face full of
dark circles.
"You're alive," his mother responded non-stop before starting to cry. "I know this is a dream,
but please stay with me," his mother implored, hugging him tightly, Stuart unable to move.
"I don't understand what's happening anymore," Stuart wondered with a feeling of happiness
and fear, having already resigned himself to dying from bleeding out in his original world.
Chapter 3: Extensive Knowledge
"Enrique," shouted the voice of Susan, Stuart's mother, who with a look of a person losing her
sanity returned her mother's hug.
The following days his parents told Shishi or well I say "Stuart" that a bullet had pierced his neck
and they called an organic magic user from the guard because of his father's multiple pleas to
the king to save his son, but after having regenerated the part of his neck destroyed by the bullet
received in the break-in of his home he could not respond, according to several magicians of
different specialties they told him that his soul had left his body and they recommended that
they take the life of their son who could no longer do anything, an empty shell, his parents kept
him alive the year he was in that state.
-What is a magical specialty and who possesses it? - Stuart asked his father a few days after
waking up, to which his father replied that he would take him with him to his work to explain
and look for one or another magician to examine him to know if he was in good condition after
time and his previous situation.
Stuart prepared to go, he got ready with the suit he wore the day he went on his first mission
with the guards, this suit replicated the black uniform with red markings on the chest and the
golden buttons that the guards had, upon arriving at his barracks his father explained to him
-God grants us the magical gift when we are born, it is up to us to make it flourish, but there are
people who the same god took away their gift and developed their own, these people were
called demons or God's mistakes, over time they were only called unfortunate people, but their
abilities are different thanks to the same god-
What do you mean by different?" Stuart asked his father curiously.
-There are several, but the ones we have managed to get to join the kingdom's guard are organic,
elemental and spiritual magic, those are the ones we have been informed of, at least to me,
those are the only ones I have been informed of- the father responded with a sincere voice
-How do those magics work- asked Stuart, to which his father just knelt down and pointed to a
man wearing what looked like a guard uniform but without the corresponding buttons, bleeding
from the multiple wounds that had shattered his arm, a man wearing a completely white
uniform approached him and when he touched it the limb began to move on its own and began
to take its original form, the parts that were no longer there grew with the seconds and the
wounded guard only fainted from the immense pain.
Seeing such magic, Stuart ran to the magician who with a surprised face recognized him as the
boy who was attacked by the rumors spread by the citizens, at the moment the father
apologized for his son's attitude, to which the man responded
-Hello little one, my name is Will and I wanted to ask you how you feel- the organic magician
asked with an innocent smile
-My name is Stuart Grandlight and I wanted to ask you what else you can do- the little boy asked
with a light in his eyes
-My magic tries to control everything that is made of flesh, I can generate bones and I can even
control human physical abilities- with the last thing said Will asked the boy's father to help him
show him, when he cast the spell, his father tested his strength by bending and returning to its
original form a sword that he had, with this done the magician Will retired and said that Stuart
was fine and he did not see any inconsistency in his physical state, with this the father let out a
sigh of relief that he felt upon hearing those words.
-How do we know who is a specialized magician- asked Stuart with an expressionless gesture
that gave a feeling of insecurity in the father
"We only know when they show their gift in public," the father replied, trying to give as little
information as possible to his son, who changed his attitude from one moment to the next.
Time passed, Stuart turned 13, at this age he only needed 3 years to be of legal age and be able
to join groups of mercenaries or mostly called adventurers, these are hired by people with power
or the government itself to clean or explore areas that did not have the minimum risk category
to send the guards.
-As soon as I reach the age of majority, I will look for specialized mages and achieve my goal of
obtaining power- Stuart said while looking at the doors of the reception of the palace where the
headquarters was located, the place where the risk-free missions for the mercenaries and for
the villagers for the low-risk missions were given.
Since his accident, he'd been declared dead and lost his reserved spot on the guard. To get it
back, he needed to prove his worth again, but no one was willing to let him go on missions
because of the rumors that had resurfaced with his awakening, that he was a monster and the
living dead. All he had to do was either make sure no one knew anything about him or wait until
he was of age.
A year passed and an emergency mission appeared that hired everyone equally, it was an
emergency since a variety of demons were sighted that were also called dragons and the guards
were overloaded with work, everyone was asked to participate and that they would receive a
large reward if they survived and defeated the assigned demon, Stuart took advantage of his
father's absence due to the emergency and his mother's distraction to go.
The demon or dragon that was assigned to his group made up of 45 groups of 4 members and
50 independents including him was one that rested on top of a mountain, they walked and
managed to reach the top where their objective awaited on the fourth day, the magicians cast fire spells and ice water to try to immobilize it, as soon as the dragon realized what they were
trying to do, he attacked them with a flame that killed half of the initial team, Stuart narrowly
survived and had the idea of attacking its wings, eyes and neck, he informed his group and they
helped with the idea, the magicians would attack the eyes with earth magic and the warriors
would attack the wings and neck. As soon as the dragon went blind it let out a scream that
caused a small landslide killing 10 teams in the group and the sound caused immediate death to
5 groups, of those that remained some fainted and the rest were bleeding from their ears or
eyes, Stuart managed to see that the dragon tore off its wings destroyed by the warriors and
new ones began to grow, as for its eyes when it tried to remove them with the claws on its paws
a sorcerer cast a fire and blizzard spell, which caused its death but prevented the complete
regeneration of the dragon.
Stuart created some water with his magic and washed the blood that was running from his eye
sockets, he ran towards the dragon grabbing the sword from the corpse of one of his
companions and climbing onto the dragon he began to tear at its wings, the dragon threw them
with the end of its tail towards a wall of a cave, almost on the verge of death, he remembered
what awaited him if he died once more in that world, he did not want to return to that world in
which there was nowhere to return, a world in which he died from bleeding.
Rising up on his legs he ran again towards the dragon, this time grabbing a bow and arrow with
which he shot at the wings and eyes of the dragon who went to charge him with the little vision
he had left, when it was located only meters away the boy let out a scream that seemed to tear
his throat. He screamed until blood began to emerge from his mouth, instantly his hand began
to shine with a golden light like gold, with the over stimulating of the battle Stuart could not
speak.
-Gold- he whispered and when the dragon managed to charge him slowly it began to turn a
bright yellow that began to immobilize him and weigh him down, finally, the dragon tried to fly,
but his wings could not lift the weight of what his body was becoming, he let out a last scream
that killed some unconscious survivors and finished turning into gold.
Stuart fainted and when he opened his eyes he saw his mother Susan who scolded him and cried
because she had not warned him, but she was glad that he was safe.
-How much time passed- the little one asked fearfully
-You fainted for only 2 days, your father is on his way to his mission, he says he urgently needs
to talk to you- replied the mother in a mocking tone
When the father arrived, he scolded his son about the danger of going on such a mission, but
that there was nothing he could do about it. Word of what had happened to the dragon began
to spread, and the guards heard it, so they summoned Stuart and his parents to discuss what
had happened.
When the day arrived Stuart was in his casual clothes since his small uniform that he had was
destroyed in the battle against the dragon, upon arriving at the barracks they were received in
the conference room where there were about 2 boys and 5 girls of almost the same age or
perhaps older.
-You and your legal guardians have been called to talk about the skills you demonstrated on the
battlefield against the dragonic demons, we want you to enlist in our ranks for upcoming battlesa guard told them
Everyone was astonished, no one could respond to his order.
Chapter 4: Unusual Teaching
The parents began to shout at the guard for asking such a thing of children who didn't even know
what had happened to them. Only the children who had been summoned remained stunned by
the order imposed on them.
-You as their legal guardians have the permission to decline the option that has been proposed
to you, as a second option you have to make those directly summoned to this meeting must
never use their unique gifts in public to avoid problems in their daily lives- said the guard in
response to the parents' complaints
-Those who wish to decline this proposal must sign some papers upon leaving, those who wish
to accept must stay to discuss the terms and conditions of their children's affiliation with the
guard- the guard concluded his task of informing and went to the entrance to have the parents
sign the confidentiality papers, several left until a boy, a girl and Stuart remained, who convinced
their parents that it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
When everyone else finished signing the papers and left, a general came in, reviewed some
papers and explained the actions and skills that each of those present performed.
-Mary Rocknaver, possessor of organic magic, managed to defeat the dragonic demon of the
southern area using the corpses of her companions to create a malformation, the growth and
creation of new bones and flesh from the dead to reach the demon and managed to compact
its organs causing the death of the demon.
Michael Platngats, possessor of spiritual magic, managed to defeat the dragonic demon using
the souls of his deceased companions creating a reflective shield, a spell that allows the
formation of a shield that impregnates the attacker with a soul, constantly weakening him, and
a bow with mortification, the creation of a weapon that causes the destruction of the affected
area, causing the death of the demon.
Stuart Grandlight, a wielder of alchemical magic, managed to defeat the dragon demon using
conversion, a spell that turns the object involved into any mineral or precious stone, causing the
demon's death.
You, the parents of the children, are given the opportunity to enlist your children in the Middle
Guard, a division of specialized magicians for special missions very rarely, on the condition that
they keep their abilities hidden most of the time. With this, the general ended the talk with the
parents and gave them the papers to enlist their children in the Middle Guard.
As soon as everyone had left and returned to their homes, the general asked the guard to inform
him of the specialties of the children who had rejected the proposal, he said this with a sad face
towards the children.
Months passed, Stuart was not given the opportunity to meet his companions until he came of
age. When he turned 16, two guards were sent to him who began to take his measurements to
make his middle guard uniform. When they finished, he went to the barracks where he
introduced them to his companions, who were the same ones who had accepted the proposal,
but there was also a boy younger than them who seemed enthusiastic.
The magicians of their same specialties came to teach them how to handle the spells in the best
possible way, among them was the organic magician Will who received the new applicants with
a smile, each one introduced himself with his name and his specialty, the fourth introduced
himself as a possessor of visual magic, upon hearing the type of magic that child had, everyone
wondered
-What is visual magic- while the boy became nervous at the unsettling silence that followed the
introduction of his magical tutor.
At the beginning of the first training, the tutors said the skills of each magical specialty of those
present."Organic magic controls bodies with their soul and vitality as a source of energy. Spiritual magic
uses souls to create multiple devices useful to the user. Alchemical magic allows the target to
be transformed into any metal or precious stone. Visual magic allows the creation of illusions
and manipulation of the enemy's perception," Will explained after the awkward silence that
followed the explanation of a magic that was unknown to the young people.
At the beginning of training, they were informed that they would be separated and trained
separately, and that only at the end of training would they be sent on a mission to test their
teamwork.
Stuart was matched with a magician who introduced himself again as Rick Nover, who
proceeded to tell him that he would start with a practice match.
Taking him to the practice field, the fight began. Rick ran towards Stuart who dodged him easily,
at this Rick touched the ground with the tip of his foot and turned that area into a diamond, he
continued doing this about 3 times with the same result, Stuart confused attacked him with his
only spell that he was capable of doing
-The Midas touch- said Rick with a face of fascination
-But it's not enough- Rick continued saying that when he snapped his fingers his eyes turned
bright blue for a moment, then the four points that he had turned into a diamond began to grow
and he locked Stuart in a diamond cage that became smaller and smaller.
-I give up- Stuart yelled with a noticeable tiredness in his voice, to this Rick began touching the
cage that began to turn into a shiny dust. When Rick offered help to get Stuart up, he attacked
him by directing his hand to his neck, Rick dodged his attempt to kill him, but Stuart touched the
ground and used his spell and continued turning everything into gold, the moment in which Rick
realized that the boy would faint he went to help him, but the moment he touched the area that
continued to turn into gold he noticed that his shoe began to turn into gold, with that reaction
in him he responded with a smile and continued fighting.
He took off his suit, stretched it and turned it into a diamond in a certain way that it would look
like a spear which he threw near the boy who dodged the attack but not the effect it had, the
moment the tip touched the ground several things came out of what looked like diamond spears
from the same place, one of these touched the boy's jacket which slowly turned into a diamond
but when Rick extended the palm of his hand and closed it abruptly his entire jacket lay turned
into a solid diamond which immobilized Stuart who when he tried to free himself by touching
the ground with his feet and continue using his spell, he was immobilized by diamonds that
formed around his legs.
-I see attitude, but not potential, now our relationship will be that of student and pupil, there
will be battles like these with each of your companions and only when everyone manages to
resist and counterattack will they be ready for their first mission- Rick told him, now his teacher,
putting on an egotistical attitude that showed interest at the same time.
Rick asked for a second suit for his student and asked the guards if the others had already
finished this, to which the guards replied that 2 had already finished, only the possessor of
organic magic was missing, when they went to see how everything was going they found the
others just as injured as them while their now teachers were unharmed, together they watched
as the battle of the last student standing was ending, witnessing the battle they saw how Will,
the one in charge of battling Mary, only had one finger stained in blood while a pile of flesh came
out from the other end of the training field, having Mary, the user of organic magic, trapped and
exhausted by the pile of flesh, the moment she gave up, Will compacted the pile and freed Mary
who only asked for water, while Will grabbed the small piece of meat that he compacted,
covered it with bone and kept it inside his suit.
Once all the students recovered, they were informed how their tests would work.
You will be our students and you will have a battle a month with your assigned teacher, if you
manage to defeat him or remove him from the combat area, which is most likely, you will
approve to go on your first field mission, but until then, every time you lose, we, your now
teachers, will use stronger spells than the ones we have now, this may end with you close to
death, but none of you will die because of the skill we have among us. If you cannot defeat us
after two years, you will be punished, - said Will with a voice that seemed to show sadness but
hid immense joy.
-What punishment will they have prepared for those who do not pass? - Stuart wondered.
Chapter 5: Uncertain Disadvantage
After a year of their first training, none of them had been able to defeat their master. Once in a
while they were able to touch them, but it always ended with them dying and being revived by
a magician who they were not informed of who he was or what magic he used, but for having
managed to touch them, they were taught a spell that served as a healing spell.
-This is your consolation prize for having touched us at least once, it is a minor healing spell, it
will help you if you learn it- Will, Rick, Rose, the teacher of young Albert, the creditor of visual
magic, and Mark, teacher and possessor of spiritual magic, told them with so much enthusiasm.
-How was it possible to make an artificial spell specializing in organic magic? - Michael asked.
The only one who responded was Will -Our bosses want us to live if we separate and with the
help of organic magicians we managed to make an artificial spell- with an attempt to give him
the right and necessary information.
-Today we will teach you how magic is expressed in combat- Rose began to explain while the
other teachers were called on a mission -The more physical condition one has, the more spells
one will be able to do since a normal body would not withstand the pressure or energy and
would die……… ……. When the name of the spell is said, the body as a reflex or routine act
releases the energy in an amount and form necessary without thinking about the spell, but this
makes the enemy locate you easily, if you get used to your body to perform your spells without
saying or thinking about it, you will have a chance against him…… ……. ….. …. .. .. now we will
have a combat, you four against me blindfolded- mentioned Rose with a euphoric tone in her
voice, when they went to the battlefield she blindfolded herself and the combat began
-For your information, visual magicians use sharp weapons, our ability is used as silent assassinsRose told them with a mocking tone towards the unsuspecting students
The battle began, everyone cast spells to immobilize her, but when they reached her and pierced
her, little Albert ran and dodged an attack from an invisible being that managed to destroy part
of the arena, and he said
-He made himself invisible, he still can't see anything so let's not make too much noise-
-If you manage to defeat me you will have passed and will go on your first mission, but if you
don't and I end up killing you there will be a punishment- said a voice from the center of the
arena
Everyone excitedly began to cast their best spells, but since they weren't very practiced, they
had to pronounce them and Rose dodged them.
Mary tore off her pinky with her teeth, threw it and used the malformation spell, it began to
generate blood and spread it throughout the arena, everyone understood what she wanted to
do, Michael used his reflex shield spell on his teammates, at that moment a sudden stop was
heard near Mary at that moment the blood that her malformation had thrown reached her
staining her all with blood and showing it to the teacher who had no choice but to attack head
on, Albert proceeded to attack hand to hand while the others used long distance spells, since his teacher was visionless she couldn't do much but keep her away from her teammates, Stuart
turned the ground into gold controlling what she shouldn't turn into gold, upon hearing the spell
the teacher escaped as far as she could and went to where she last heard Mary to kill her and
make her malformation die without its summoner, when he tried a spiritual barrier formed over
Mary, but with this the teacher knew that Mary lay inside, with this she smiled and began to
throw fireballs everywhere until that reached the malformation, if she burned the unhealed
parts of it, she would need more energy from her summoner and Mary would sooner or later
faint and her spell would stop producing blood, she was right so she just continued attacking the
malformation with her knives and fireballs while Albert faced her, Albert in one of his attempts
to kill her cut the blindfold that covered his eyes and when she managed to see him she saw
how scissors cut Albert, in response to this the teacher only ripped off a part of her clothes and
returned to the attacks, in an attempt to save Albert, Mary went to heal him but he stopped
producing blood and the teacher used elemental magic to clean the blood and became invisible
again, but this time she formed illusions of herself that confused the students, due to the
amount of attacks Michael's team was receiving, he fainted and was stabbed by the teacher,
without shields or Albert's information there was not much to do, before this Mary used her
magic to empower her already Stuart.
The battle continued and using Albert's knives they began to attack the teacher, they only
needed to touch her with one of the knives and they could use their magic, this had to be before
the spell destroyed them due to the overexertion their body was making to resist the abilities
that were given to them, but even with those abilities they could not even know where their
teacher was, on the verge of collapse Mary destroyed her arms forming swords that came out
from her elbows and extended beyond her hands, these were made of bone and blood that
solidified with that she continued attacking left and right the teacher who now put more effort
into dodging her attacks since she did not hear her mention any spell she only heard her
attempts at muffled screams, seeing the situation Stuart wanted to help but with the strength
he had left he could not make long distance attacks, he used water magic and was able to make
mud with this he formed something similar to a gun and turned it into silver then he only formed
some bullets of the precious metal that could pass through and absorb magic, the best weapon
against wizards, Stuart ran towards the teacher who had become visible for a moment and
began to attack her until he had the opportunity to shoot but before he could do so Mary
attacked and made the shot miss, realizing what the teacher did she tried to flee but when Stuart
opened his mouth you could see that his tongue became a last bullet that shot towards the
teacher's throat.
-CONGRATULATIONS- said the voices of their teachers coming from a wall that began to fall
apart
-Rose made the illusion of this wall, but it seems she is dying, we will have to bring that magician
back to revive her and your friends- Will said with a tone that showed concern and annoyance
when he spoke to the other magician
When the magician came he revived the two students and the teacher then just left, when this
happened the teachers gave the announcement
-Mary Rocknaver and Stuart Grandlight passed and will go on their first mission when we find
new companions for you- said Rick with a serious tone which he didn't usually have
"But I thought most teams were four," Mary said.
-Exactly, you passed, but Albert Wilbhyug and Michael Platngats did not pass because they died
during the test, that's why they will not be chosen to enlist in our ranks- said Mark the master
of spiritual magic
With tears in their eyes the two boys said goodbye to their friends
-Come visit me and tell me everything you're going to do- the 10-year-old boy said goodbye to
his friends with a big, sincere smile.
When night came, those who passed went to rest in their homes, when Stuart was on his way
home he saw little Albert crying with blood on his clothes and running to him as soon as he saw
him.
-What happened Albert- asked Stuart
-Some men grabbed Michael as he was walking me home and went after me- when Albert
finished his sentence a sudden stop was heard from something that seemed invisible, the
moment Stuart realized what was happening he faced that magician, using the same abilities he
used against Albert's teacher Rose, he continued the battle turning into diamond, gold and silver
to lock him in a cage as his teacher Rick had done but the moment he managed to touch him
and begin to turn him into stone, another appeared behind him which made a dagger appear
that was stuck in his chest, while he tried to get up, the magician who had stabbed him killed
the other who was turning into stone, taking Albert who was screaming for Stuart to come help
him.
When she closed her eyes she saw the dagger fade away, but the pain didn't. When her parents
arrived it was too late and she stopped breathing. When she opened her eyes again the pain
was gone and everything else was the same. She was back to being Shishi, in the same situation
as before.
Chapter 6: Answers
When he woke up, the same thing happened as the previous time. The nurses started calling the
doctors, saying a patient had woken up. Days passed, and the only ones who visited him were
his father and brother, who didn't seem happy that he had woken up. When he answered the
questions of the police officers who had interrogated him earlier, they released him. It had been
three months since he had been attacked.
Shishi followed the plan he had made before being attacked, he investigated but apparently he
only found some isekai anime that told stories similar to his but this was nothing more than
fiction, after days of investigation he could not find anyone else who had happened to the same
thing as him, when he gave up he began to look for information about what had happened while
he was in a coma you could say, it was only said that the murderer had died, to which Shishi was
surprised, according to sources the police followed someone who had kidnapped people and
taken them to a remote location, so far he was identified by a heart-shaped necklace by his only
surviving victim.
Days later, the murders increased and people began to think that he was another killer on the
loose. Time passed and Shishi returned to his position as a juror, always giving convictions to
people who were often innocent. It was said that after these people begged and cried to him,
he would go to the bathroom and laugh out loud.
"I resign," Shishi announced.
People wondered if something had happened to him, but many said it was the best thing for the
innocent people imprisoned because of him. Shishi moved to the countryside.
-After the blood I saw in that "dream" or coma, I can't even name it anymore, I just want to go
back to that place, since what happened to Mom I've never felt anything- he recapitulated to
himself while the idea of what happens every time he enters a coma occurred to him.
Days later he went to the hospital and had an x-ray done.
-Mr. Sato, according to what we see in your x-rays and your psychological examinations, we can
notice that there is great damage in a part of the brain... - the doctor told him.
-I knew it, that world doesn't exist, I'm just imagining it- Shishi said to himself
-There is great damage in the part of the brain that regulates emotions, according to what he
says in the car accident he had with his peers he had an accident that affected his ability to feel
emotions and in his psychological tests he showed... - Before the doctor finished his sentence,
Shishi left the office annoyed.
-I came here for just one thing and they tell me things that have nothing to do with it... I'm sure
it's a mistake, I rememberChapter 7: Origin
On a highway, there was a beautiful family: a mother, a father, and two children. This time, it
was just the parents and the young son. They were going to visit their grandmother. The boy,
being bored, started playing blindfolded by his parents. In one of those moments, his parents
ended up crashing their car into another family traveling on the wrong road.
-Shishi- said the mother, distressed that something had happened to him, at the moment in
which she was going to pick up her son, a scream was heard. A desperate man's scream came
from the other car, trying to get his wife and son out of the car. Mr. Sato tried to get closer to
help, but the man pushed him away, yelling at him.
-This is all your fault, if you were paying attention to the road my family would be fine- said the
man to which Mr. Sato tried again to approach to help but the man pushed him away and this
time threatened him with a broken glass, Shishi's mother tried to separate the two, she managed
to do so with great effort but she managed to calm the man down and accept her husband's
help, together they got the woman and the child out, they called an ambulance when Shishi's
mother went to ask him to come with her to treat her wounds, she was hit by a truck driven by
a drunk man who died, since then the father has not spoken to his son.
The day of his mother's funeral arrived, but Shishi didn't cry once, he just waited for everyone
to leave, everything remained the same, the relationships he had with his friends faded over
time as he never smiled or cried, he only showed an expressionless face that instilled fear in
other children, over time he graduated with honors from his university but he didn't show any
emotion once, over time he met again with a classmate who always spoke to him no matter
what he did, he found her in a deplorable situation, she was being beaten in an alley by what
seemed to be her boyfriend
"I remember her, what a boyfriend she must have made of her," he said to himself, without any
surprise or shock at the situation his former partner was in. Days later, the news showed that a
man had killed his partner. While showing the image of the man and his partner, Shishi, an
emotion came over him that didn't seem like anger or sadness.
A few weeks later, the man who had murdered his partner was released. That same night, a fire
broke out in the man's apartment. News reports said the man had died and that someone's
remains had been found in his apartment.
A year after what happened, his father not only didn't speak to him, but he also gave him a
suspicious look, as if he knew what he had done a long time ago. At that time, everything was
going well, but someone always ruins what you want to build.
Chapter 8: Distrust
The police suspected him of a series of murders that had taken place
-Mr. Sato, we recently found the bodies of missing people and it is believed that you were
present at the events, could you help us answer a few questions at the station- a couple of police
officers told him.
Shishi managed to get out of that situation, the murders that had stopped for a while, started
again having as victim the wife of Kitaro, Shishi's older brother, throughout the ceremony he did
not cry, but Shishi did not give it importance since he did not cry at his mother's funeral either,
but the suspicious thing was that he met with his father and whenever that happened there was
a murder of a couple.
"They want to blame me for what they are doing," Shishi asked himself, suspicious of his own
family.
Over time he began to incriminate and arrest people who planted evidence.
-I will discover them and know why they do itYears passed and we are now in the present, the police went to Shishi's house and found
evidence that incriminated him in a murder from a few days ago, Shishi knocked them out and
said
-I still don't know why they do it, but I will prove my innocenceShishi remembered that a girl had entered his house a while ago, but he doesn't know if she
planted evidence or not, Shishi looked for her, but found nothing, living among the rubble and
parks he managed to survive for a while, he managed to collect photos and evidence that were
of little use to him at the moment, from time to time he entered his father's house while he was
not there to look for something to defend himself, in one of those visits without permission he
witnessed what his father and brother were doing
"Is he dead?" his brother anxiously asked his father.
-I don't think so, your brother was always too smart - the father replied.
-But it's been too long-
-Don't worry, sooner or later they'll catch himThe moment Shishi finished recording them he escaped, but they realized what he had done,
the following days more rumors about Shishi spread.
-I don't want to anymore, here they see me and they will see me as a murderer- Shishi said to
herself with clear despair in her voice with a knife in one hand
The moment he was about to end his life his ears began to bleed and the space he was in began
to turn into gold.
-This can't be, it was supposed to be just a dream- he shouted without being able to understand
anything of what was happening, but what he knew was that the fun had begun
Chapter 9: Destiny
Shishi now with his power of alchemical magic went to the news and presented himself as a
murderer, the police came to arrest him, but the moment one tried to throw him to the ground
Shishi turned him into gold, everyone started running, but he said
-This world does not deserve to be alive, I am justice- Shishi shouted to the four winds, nobody
understood what he was doing but they knew it was dangerous, Shishi began to create rock
walls around the police and began a massacre in which he only killed everyone present but
stopped to look for the people who were supposed to support him, his family.
When he arrived where his father and brother were, he began to complain about everything
they had done to him.
-You made me do this- Shishi complained.
-But you killed her- Kitaro yelled at him, his brother.
While his father just sat accepting his fate
-I loved her, but you killed her-
-I don't know what you're talking about-
-I'm talking about my wife- the moment Kitaro said that Shishi stopped and looked into his eyes
-What are you taking about-
"You killed her. She called me the day she disappeared and said she'd come with you."
-She didn't love you, I'm the only one who loves them and I just want to be like before without
anyone else interfering in our happy family- Shishi replied with an expression that implied that
they were always hers.
Years before we see a Shishi who had people locked up and only told them
-Why did they have to appear, they should only be with me- Shishi told them with the tone of
someone who was about to kill someone, one of those times his cousin discovered him and tried
to call the police, when he finished his job with those lives that interrupted his plan of a perfect
family the police sirens began to sound, Shishi began to run towards the forest with each step
he took away his clothes were scratched more and when he crossed the road where so long ago
he lost his mother when the ambulance on the way to where the bodies of his cousin and
husband were, ran him over and went to where he would discover something he would never
experience again
Back in the present, Kitaro with tears in his eyes attacked his brother with a knife to which he
only responded by grabbing a pencil turning it into a diamond and killing his brother, the father
only apologized.
-Shishi, I'm sorry, I could have supported you when you needed it most, but because you were
thinking about the past I couldn't see what was happening to you, sorry- with this last thing his
father began to faint to the ground, while Shishi began to shed a tear.
When the short period of time in which Shishi obtained his magical gifts was spent, he only
dedicated himself to one thing: rebuilding his family. When the police arrived and his gifts were
gone, Shishi told them to leave him alone for a moment. He was sitting on a sofa while his entire
family was positioned and covered in gold. There lay his mother's skin covered in gold,
reminiscent of how she had looked when she was alive.
After Shishi's arrest, the city tried to cover up what had happened as a terrorist attack. He was
going to be transferred to a maximum security prison, but the moment he saw daylight, a man
shot him, causing his final death.
He woke up and saw only his mother, Susan. This calmed him down, and he felt again what he
hadn't felt in a long time. He was no longer sick, now he could feel everything again—happiness,
sadness, and more. And he could start life from scratch in a world where he has something to
live for, a new chance to be someone good this time.
