Chapter 4 - 4- new life (2)

---

There's something wrong with the wizarding world—believe me—I'm not just saying this to throw dirt on wizards or to brag about my genius. I'm saying this after reviewing everything I have on the wizarding world and magic in my memories, more than once, to come to this conclusion.

I mean, the sheer squandered potential alone was enough for me to say 'fu*k them' and let them die, let alone their traditions, their way of living, and everything in between…

Then there's Voldemort. He was a different kind of idiot. Again, I'm not criticizing him just for the sake of it—but stating my opinion after reviewing every memory he had—sure, he was a prodigy in magic. He had a wealth of knowledge that would make most wizards and witches cry in shame, but he was also unbelievably arrogant.

Once he believed something to be true or came up with a conclusion he thought was right? That's it.

I mean, what kind of idiot tears apart his own soul in hopes of immortality? Isn't it common sense that the soul should stay intact? Plus, shouldn't he at least check and read more books on souls to confirm what he read wasn't actually some closely guarded ancient secret but a rambling of some mad wizard?

Still, there's always that someone who wants to know if immortality is more than just a hoax, huh?

The truth is, everything dies—that should be the first obvious rule. Even death dies in the end, and everything turns into nothingness just to be born again… It's called the cycle of life and death for a reason —It'sinthename — But I guess there's no cure for human idiocy.

There are so many ways to achieve long life as a wizard, and I've already discovered one in his memories no less and that was If you reach the state of Trifecta, then the only thing you need after that is to keep your body healthy, and you can live up to 600 years minimum, depending on how strong your body and magic are.

That also didn't mean you can't enhance your body, magic, and soul to live longer, even though he discovered this ritual in an indian magical community, years after Hogwarts, he still should have been more patient and less arrogant…

Uh, I got distracted again; the idiocy of this fool just got to me somehow.

Anyway, what was I talking about? Ah, yes, wasted magical potential.

You see, in this world, wizard magic is a semi-structured magical system. It's like a bastard child born of a relationship between desire, wish, and reality magic.

From the spells I've reviewed, it directly bypasses the concepts of white, dark, holy, demonic etc...

Which means As long as you have the intent, focus, emotions, and a little bit of arithmetic inclination to either check if the spell would work beforehand or give it the structure needed, you can create and use any spell.

Anyway, good for me I guess. Now that I'm here, learning, modifying and creating spells with the help of my Book of Knowledge will be a walk in the park…

Oh, didn't I tell you why I created that thing? Well, when I was about to sort my memories, the idea popped into my head: "Why can't I create a book directly connected to my mindscape, powered by my magic, to do anything I can do in my mindscape but bring it into the real world?" Now, I know it's a crazy idea most would dismiss as impossible, but I lived in the void for a while. I know firsthand that almost everything is possible.

And now? I'm so thankful for creating it. This book feels like a fresh, new mind. It's not sentient by any means —I have to think of what I want it to do for it to function—but right now, I'm thrilled I made this book!!

Believe me, if you had a mind that never gets bored simulating different outcomes for spell modifications, you'd be happy too.

Now, about my body: it's being reconstructed from the ground up with magic—void, or as I've decided to call it, "null" energy (a more accurate description)—and the new natural energy.

The natural energy started flowing through my core soon after it settled, thanks to my Sage skill activating.

It began passively purifying the surrounding natural energy before absorbing it into my core and spreading it throughout my body.

This created a domino effect where my other energies did the same, which brought me a hellish pain I dubbed "theGreatPainofRebirth".

I'm kidding—it merely started an energy revolt inside my body, where every ounce of energy did as it pleased. This led me to let my instincts take over, which, if I do say so myself, was the right call.

After a while, I entered the stage of what I call BodyReformation, due to my energies unifying together to transform my body into the best conductor possible.

It's a painful process, but when you can retreat into your mindscape and lose yourself in studying magic, it becomes tolerable.

By my calculations, everything should've taken a week. Afterward, I'd need a ton of food—but that's alright—I'll figure it out later.

Now, I've tried studying natural energy, but all I could conclude was the word "nature."

It's like someone's stopping me, saying, "Start by purifying nature before studying it."

Anyway, since I've got nothing else to do, I'll fully absorb the magical knowledge I have, especially Voldemort's. That piece of work has some very interesting insights on magic, so I need to analyze them thoroughly before tweaking them.

You see, he's obsessed with what he calls "dark" and "black" magic—and to some extent, he's right. But here's the kicker: it's not truly dark magic. It's wizard magic that's heavily inclined toward desire/wish and emotion.

Dark magic is a type embedded with the concept of darkness , and its users can't wield other magic due to its corruptive nature of said magic towards other concepts and energies.

Wizard magic bypasses this by relying on desire, emotion, and the wish aspect embedded in it… That's why I need to tweak spells before using them.

I just fixed my emotional center—I don't want to wreck it again.

What? You Still don't get it? Let me explain more clearly. The Killing Curse for example isn't really a dark magic.

What it does is tap into desire and wish aspect of a wizards magic, feeding on the caster's dark emotions to build up the charge and fulfill its intent.

How does it kill? It slaps the death aspect onto the spell without the need of having the death concept in the magic itself. Meaning you cast a death spell without having death magic…

Why's this dangerous? Feeding emotions—negative or positive—to magic has consequences: like addiction, emotional imbalance, etc.

This imbalance disrupts wizards' emotional centers, messing with their souls—and as you'd guess, that's bad.

Five days of hellish pain have passed. Even though I hid in my mindscape, cutting off sensory feedback, I still felt the need to acknowledge what my body endured.

Now, two days ahead of schedule, everything's done. Time to start my plan and mess with a lot of people. A reckoning is about to begin…

I woke up in my body. Everything felt new— the sensory feedback is disorienting, the balance is off, and I am famished. Still, I pushed through and stood up…

I needed to get out and find something to eat first…

Without wasting time, I flexed my hands, broke the cuffs, waved my newly freed hand casting a spell to open the door, and started walking down the corridor.

The deranged laughter and heart-wrenching cries I was hearing all around me didn't matter.

I needed food !!! And fast.

Spotting a guard, I hit him with an 'Imperio' before he could react, ordered him to lead me to the food storage, and followed under an Invisibility Charm.

The walk to the kitchen took a short while, the guards' lack of response to others did turn some heads but nothing that a small compulsion charm didn't solve…

The kitchen and storage here aren't impressive, but what do you expect from a prison, plus they had about a month's rations so that's good.

Without waiting for anything I casted some strong compulsion charms and notice-me- not charms on the door and started devouring vegetables/ fruits first while igniting a fire with magic to cook the meat and letting magic be the chef…

Three hours and two weeks' worth of food later, I finally felt like myself again.

Ahhh, this is life.

I'll go back and rest in my cell a few more hours before I start doing anything else.
