Chapter 5:

A Really Close Call To Death In This Bizzare Night! Also Magic.

ダーク 転生 (Dark Reincarnation): A Deal With The Goddess In This Amazing World!


Let's see, it's 4 AM, my mother, aunt and sister are sleeping and I slept early to make sure I got enough sleep. What am I getting ready for? My night training session of course! 

You see, I'm still a 7 year old child and there's a rule that forbids me from going outside unless it's not too far from the house. My mother nor my aunt told me why this rule exists, so I can't go out and most importantly, train.

I tried training fire magic in the house and well... it didn't end well.

SO! Instead of sleeping at night, I sneak out and train in the forest. Without absolutely anybody interrupting me! I don't feel fatigue at all right now though, maybe because I'm a child?

Now, it's time test all these out! First, Spark Creation.

I focus all my attention to the Spark Creation, and imagine creating a spark in my palms. I start hearing some sounds, then see the glimpse of light in my hands. I point my hand forward, and imagine launching the sparks. They all get launched from my hand, in form of a big wave. And then see some glimpse of lights right where they lande-

WAIT NO THEY STARTED A FIRE!

I quickly rush to their landing points and try to put off the fire with all my might. 

Luckily, I was able to put all of them off. Damn it this is the 2nd time this is happening! First the house, then this! Anyway, I don't think I can use it to damage my foes, but I can certainly distract or maybe blind them. Next spell!

(...)

YES! FINALLY SOME WATER!

I've been running around trying to find some sort of a water supply for like 30-40 minutes. Probably. It's name is Turn Ice, so I thought it would turn water to ice. Now time to test it out!

I dive my hands deep into the water, and close my eyes. I imagine the atoms of water, and closing the distance between them. I can sense my hands getting colder, slowly water too. I can sense some crystallisation around my hands. When I open my eyes, a big part of the water is frozen.

Well, that was a nice spell. Time to get to the oth-

Huh? Oh, OH.

My hands... They're... They're stuck in the ice, why did I even dove them that deeply!? Wait! Spark Magic! I can use Spark Magic! It's not close to an actual fire but it's still worth a shot. 

I imagine really violent and powerful sparks coming from my hand, and I can feel a little heat in my hands. There is also steam coming out from icy layer and probably water. I can also feel my hand getting hotter, like really REALLY hotter. Ow! Uw! I-It actually started h-hurting a lot?

The water is boiling!? I quickly try releasing my hands from the icy layer, it doesn't work! I try again with full power and I completely shatter the icy layer, freeing my hand. That was really close.

Well, this is useless. I have to have a big source of water just ready if I want to utilize it. Is it even possible using it without water? Hmm without water... Wait! Doesn't the atmosphere also has some water?

I quickly test my theory. I imagine the water atoms in the atmosphere, focusing them inside my palm. Slowly, ice forms in my hands. But it was a lot slower then it was with the small pond I found. This is getting tiring, but I look at my hands and can see a small imperfect ball of ice in my hands.

Huff, puff. So it is possible, but a lot harder than doing it with a normal water source. I'm sure it'll get a lot easier as time moves on though. 

Anyway! This getting really tiring, aaand it's also nighttime. Before I collapse and die a horrible death and nobody ever finding me, I should really get going.

(...)

It's been a while since I started backtracking, maybe about 10 minutes? I can't run because that would tire me out way too fast, so I chose to walk instead. I'll probably in home after... 10 minutes. 

There's something bothering me however... I don't know why but I can't get the feeling of being watched out of my mind. I look behind me, there's nothing. I look to left, and right. There's nothing. I can hear some owl noises, this is REALLY creeping me out.

Actually, I'll use Shadow Sight. After looking around my surroundings with Shadow Sight, I unfortunately find that I was right. I can see 2 pack of wolfs observing me from a distance, both from left and right. I suddenly stop when I notice them, and then run for my life.

They must've noticed this too -obviously-, so they start running after me too. What can I do? I don't think I have a really powerful spell, I can't use Turn Ice. Spark Creation? Yes! But can I really-

I hear some voices getting really closer from the left, I turn around and see a wolf up-close to my face. I instinctively activate Spark Creation. The wolf backs out a little, though still follows me from behind. It's not the only wolf that follows me from behind, actually. Oh no, they trapped me in a center.

Only forward is empty, there is no escape. I check the left, they're getting closer. I use Spark Creation. I check the right they're REALLY close, I use Spark Creation. I don't even check behind, they're probably way too close so I instinctively used it.

Huff, huff, huff, huff, huff

If I stop, I might actually die. What was I thinking? Why did I even do this?

Wait! No no no, I can't think about this right now! I can see my home when I look forward, I must go on, I MUST go on! I use Spark Creation but they're getting too close, they must've understood I'm running out of power.

I feel like I can pass out any minute, but I run and run and my house gets closer and closer. With a final Spark Creation, I enter through the door quickly.

Huff, huff, huff, puff, huff, puff.

I'M ALIVE!
