The beam travelled and in a second it was on him. The distance between two was not that great after all.

'Shit!'

The beam travelled and in a second it was on him. The distance between two was not that great after all.

'Shit'' Icarus thought.

"ενισχύω" — Reinforce!

This is the first time that Icarus used the Divine Words to cast Magecraft than use his Runes and it showed. Just because he studied and use Runes all the time didn't mean he doesn't know Divine Words. Icarus fancies himself as a Battle Mage— like Merlin— so he studied majority of Magic systems known to Men. Although he isn't proficient with them all he can identify them and use the basic Magecraft spells. He want to be a great magian—Magus?—

Immediately he reinforced himself and swayed back to avoid the magic beam coming his way.

It did not work.

Dancing of the Divine Moon

Icarus form flickered and blurring. He managed to avoid the magical beam, but he didn't get out unscathed. His torso looked burned as the beam barely nicked him.

"Hiss.." Icarus hissed in pain.

Boooom*

The beam leveled a few huge bolders aside him. ' strong, too strong." Icarus thought. He was naive to think that he'll actually survive an a encounter with a Phantasmal beast that has enough magic to spread cold to few Cities.

Icarus jumped back. letting himself fall as he did so. he doesn't have time to plan his next move and if he stay here long enough, the dragon won't miss this time so he let his instincts run wild. Unfortunately he didn't see the rocks behind him and he crushed through them all. from a certain height Icarus fell, it's fortunate enough that he had a foresight to reinforce himself.

It's was all and good until the spell shattered on him. Immediately Icarus knew he was Fucked. Normally Icarus won't even use Divine Words but he was forced as if he used his Runes, he might actually die as Writting Runes take time —actually, it doesn't but the magical beam was traveling so fast, so he didn't have time to proper focus—

The spell shattered, and Icarus couldn't stop his momentum so it actually wasn't a suprised when Icarus fell on a bolder, head first. Blood sipped out his wounds on his head, its fortunate that he didn't crush his head, twist his neck or break his spinal cord and die miserably.

Icarus eyes were blanked, darkened as he lost consciousness.

Fortunately The Dragon didnt pursue its enemy.

Water and waves slapped against him, sometimes he dipped in the water and he couldn't breathe, waking him up.

Icarus woke up looking at a clear blue sky without clouds. He looked at the world he himself in and immediately realized his in an Ocean, He is literally floating in the Ocean. He is confused for a moment until he pulled himself together.

' Im in my own mindscape?' he questioned himself.

He had been in his mindscape when he mediated. He looked in the water surface and he saw the physical appearance of Icarus. he sighed in relief. This is a evidence that he truly accepted himself in this world, in the mindscape your appearance changes to what you believe yourself to be. If a psychopath believe him/herself to be a monster, then he/she will be a monster in his/her mindscape.

He sigh as he arrives at the shore of this ocean — Beach?—. In the mindscape he is invincible, Omniscience and omnipotent.

As he step on the sand a chair immediately rise from the sand. He sat on it and sighed again.

' I must wake soon, don't know if the dragon will chase me' That will be horrible. dying from being eaten by a dragon at the age of 8, he sure that, that will be quite painful and horrible.

Before he can stand a crunch was heard behind him. He turned around slowly.

" Back so soon?" he asked, already knowing what — or who— it is .

" quite reckless aren't you, kid?" A voice sounded at this side. the voice is calm, smooth and full of undertone strength.

" Hmm." Icarus agreed.

A man with with brown hair, a heavy beard and a crown on his head appeared on his side.

" Better wake up, kid."

Icarus sighed as he stood up. " are you gonna tell me your identity?" Icarus has met this man when he was mediating last week. Icarus almost cried since this is the classic trope in third rate author's novels. The mc has a powerful entity in his head and so he will gain the entity's power. The plot of some novel Artemis had read, so when it happen to him, he find it quite distasteful.

The person pondered a bit until he answered " I'll tell you when you grow up."

" why can't you tell me now?, because im not strong enough?" Icarus questioned.

" no and yes. I dont tell you because you'll get arrogant and die before you remember your memories. Chaos knows it I'll be a mess." The entity said.

" Memories?"

"Hmm. you can say I was Artemis before I became this, In anyway I was you and you are me understand?"

Icarus pondered a bit before he said " so I was you before I became Icarus?, then that mean I reincarnated two times!" Icarus was shocked to be honest. Can a person reincarnate two times? he never knew about that — which doesn't say much—

" You should wake now. and yes you reincarnated two times, but dont get it twisted YOU'RE me but I'm not YOU."

Icarus was about to respond before a migraine hit him like a wave, his vision was swimming and he was getting nauseous. he staggered and fell on the sand, pictures — memories?— not his own appeared in his mind and disappeared instantly like waking up after a nightmare or a dream. places, Faces and names he did not know yet familiar with crossed his mind.

Blood dripped out of his nose, eyes and ears. Veins popped on his face and hands trying to remember but... there's nothing to remember as the memories disappeared and he could not remember what he saw — heard!— anymore.

" Take it easy there, dont force yourself to remember it'll come naturally." The being commented before Icarus blanked out.

Icarus woke up with a headache and loud — white screen— noise pounding in his ears. He stood up and immediately regreted it as he staggered holding his head. Icarus groaned.

Icarus felt his hand touch something liquid on his head, bringing his hand he saw his fingers coated in blood, he cursed as he tore a clothe on his chlamys and pressed the wound on his head with it.

Icarus turned back and looked at the cave on the mountain peak and swore to back and kill the Beast that humiliated him.

He picked Philo on the ground and turned tail.

It was already night when Icarus arrives at the village — although Icarus say its a villager its actually the size of a Small City.

He was with Kyrillos at the gates when he returned. " Evening Kyrillos" he said, grimacing as he does.

" Evening Icarus. You don't look fine, what happened?" Kyrillos said with worry lacing his words as he talked.

Icarus just waved at him and said " I'll tell you when Lord Apollo is rising, I need to rest now I'm honestly exhausted." Icarus said. after that he walked to Kyrillos house with Kyrillos walking behind him.

As he enters the house he immediately went to his room and laid down to sleep. he didn't lie when he said he was exhausted, both mentally and physically.

The memories that the entity shared with him exhausted him — Although he didn't remember any of them it still left him mentally and spiritually exhausted.
