Magic?

"Who are you, stranger?" A being asked descending onto the ground a wave of air waving past the Doom slayer. The figure was a strange man surrounded in UE which he dubbed 'mana' as it was the closest thing that came to mind. His face was young yet the presence that surrounded him was old. The one you would get from an elderly grampa, not a thirty-year-old man.

"I am VEGA an Artificial Intelligence made to support the Doom slayer. I will speak in his place," Vega responded through the speakers placed in the Doom slayers' helmet.

"Doom Slayer? Artificial A.I?" The man asked confused. His head tilting as if expecting an answer.

"I would suggest you introduce yourself first," VEGA responded coldly.

"Ho, of course. Where are my manners? Pardon my rudeness. My name is Merlvian and I am the sorcerer supreme of earth. It's nice to meet you," Merlvian introduced.

"Sorcerer supreme?" VEGA ask confused as it was his turn to look on confused.

"Why of course Sorcerer supreme my task is to protect the earth while occasionally teaching others. Though may I ask just what were you doing in Svartalfheim?" Melivan questioned.

"We were teleporting here when we were suddenly interrupted and attacked by a nordic man and his two accomplices. He goes by the name of Odin. Do you know him?" VEGA asked.

"Odin?" Merlvian asked flabbergasted his eyes staring deep into the being in front of him.

"Now why would the Allfather want your head..." Merlvian questioned.

"We have no clue," VEGA responded.

"Hmm, then let me ask you this what are your intentions on earth?" Merlvian asked as his eyes glowed.

"If you are asking the Doom slayer then I'm sorry to say but you will get nothing from him. We only wish to return home," VEGA responded.

"Home? Then let me quickly send you there," Merlvian replied.

"What planet do you come from and what are it's characteristic?" Merlvian questioned as he started to twirl magic circles around him.

"I believe you won't find it," Vega explained to which Merlvian only looked on confused as he quickly shut down his magic circles.

"I'm sorry to say but there are no planets with those characteristics..." Merlvian replied as he looked at the Doom slayer suspiciously.

"It is the truth. Our Homeworld was overrun with Demons until the Doom slayer decided to plunge himself into hell itself. Burned by the cinders of hell he came anew. He became their bane and doom. For he would stop at nothing to rip and tear." Vega revealed.

"Oooooooh scary. Hmm, alright. I will allow you to roam free on earth just don't do anything that would jeopardize its safety." Merlvian replied.

"Now that we've answered your question can you answer ours?" VEGA questioned.

"Of course what would it be?" Merlvian asked.

"Magic... You said it can be taught?" VEGA asked.

"Of course, but to be able to learn it, you must have the aptitude for it. Magic has two branches after all and depending on which one you fall under your journey might be easier or harder," Merlvian stated.

"What are these two branches?" VEGA asked.

"Well, one is a sorcerer the other is a wizard. Both are similar yet different. One draws magic from a dimension while the other their own stamina and soul power. Sometimes it can be both but a young sorcerer or wizard must start somewhere. From there, their branches are formed. I am both as I draw my powers from a different dimension as well as myself. Though I am still learning as one should be to reach perfection," Merlvian explained.

"May you teach us?" VEGA asked.

"Hmph I'm sorry but I cannot. I simply do not have the time to teach you but I can help you. Here is my book on the basics of magic. This is all I can give as anything above this is counted as too dangerous to be handed over to anyone not apart of my Conflagration." Merlvian explained conjuring a book and handing it to The Doom slayer.

"Thank you," VEGA thanked.

"It's no problems, seeing as you are going to be here for a while I only ask you treat the earth as your home," Merlvian replied.

"We will protect as if it were our own." VEGA assured.

"Then that is all I can ask for," Merlvian smiled teleporting away.

"Are you sure it's safe to leave him be?" A masked figure asked.

"Why of course. If what he was to say was true then he battled Odin and came out of the fight with nothing but torn armour... It would be unwise to battle him," Merlvian stated rubbing his eyes. Closing and opening them he applied water to them only for it do no effect. Trying to heal it was also doing no effect.

"Tired?" The masked figure asked.

"No... It burns to look at him," Merlvian explained.

"Burns?" The figure asked.

"Don't worry about it. I'll be fine it's to be expected he is a higher being after all," Merlvian replied his eyes closed.

"Should I keep an eye on him?" The figure asked.

"Hmph, do you really think that's a good idea?" Merlvian asked.

"No..." The figure replied.

"Then let's get moving Morgan we have much to do. I have many experiments to attend to." Merlvian ordered.

The Doom slayer now with his satellite in space, used its camera to find out just what type of age he had come about. If he were to come to a futuristic world he would have no problem walking around in his armour but if he was anywhere lower he would need a disguise. He towered over the common folk with muscles that would make anyone admire. His look was just too different from the rest.

Making his way towards a cave he also needed to establish a base, a disguise, an army and a body for VEGA to be his speaker. This would allow VEGA to not be forced to stay in his helmet. His loyalty had been proven when he had sacrificed himself in his quest long ago.

<Information being summarized>

<Duration: Complete>

<Wizards and Sorcerers are both practitioners of magic both manipulating and shaping reality to their own... Wizards use Mana while sorcerers use dimensional energies... This is usually done by tapping into said dimension and drawing power from it. This can either be done by tethering their soul or equipment to draw said power. Each dimension has its own characteristics. The risk of tethering your soul to said dimension is dangerous as it could cause your soul to be either corrupted or stolen from the owner of said dimension... Wizards are born while sorcerers are made... Wizards while usually more powerful in their early stages are much more unstable due to their emotions. Sorcerers on the other hand have more control due to their energy pools not being influenced by their emotions but their control and output.>

The Doom slayer reading into the summary was intrigued for he was both a Sorcerer and Wizard. He had basically become the owner of hells argent energy thus making him the complete owner of the power. Though his soul and body had been tethered to it so it became his while not originally. Strange it was.

The Doom slayer deciding to create a space station conjured flames and made his way up there. Burning some of the trees around him, people around the area looked up to see the Doom slayers body fly up and were shocked. Some cowered in fear while others smiled.

"Dear Heavenly father please protect us!" A man cloaked in white stated.

The Doom slayer now In space started to form argent energy around his hand before thinking of his old base. Floating up there he slowly started to create his space station, the metal starting to compress and collapse until it exploded into his space. This process took one hundred years but to him, it felt like nothing an eon could do that to you. The process was similar to a small big bang. Now in his base, he activated its cloaking mechanism though he was still paranoid as magical beings could possibly see through it. Looking around he found that some things were missing such as his huge mecha, suits, and weapons that he left in his trophy room. Though that could be easily replaced.

Taking off his helmet he got himself in comfortable clothes and looked in the mirror. It had been an eon since he last saw his full face. His face had grown a beard with his hair went down to his neck. Grabbing some clippers he gave himself a buzz cut. Trimming his beard he allowed only a stubble.

Deciding what to do he would first learn to at least cloak his newfound base with magic. The to-do list was:

- Cloak the base with some sort of magic

- Make Vega a new body to start making robots to gather information on the universe as well as increase his power and fortification around the earth

- Learn new magic to increase combat power

- Find a way back home( To whoop the absolute shit out of that human)
