A mistaken mistake
[Zeke Leypax]
[LVL -1]
[Lore: Zeke Leypax was the 4th heir of a lower branch family who was from a lineage of water mages, Zeke was born with talent on the usage of water and was the talk of all other branch family as he was equal if not better than the prince of the main house. This led to some minor quarrels about what they should do with the Leypax's status, the current head of the main house decided that the child itself was at fault and ordered his men from the shadows to kidnap Zeke and take his 'soul' from him. Their operation was successful and the genius was left dead with no mana in the middle of nowhere, in exchange for the loss of a genius the house head decided to give the stolen 'soul' to his own son and boost his talent by a huge margin compared to the others. Zeke was then forgotten in just a span of few years unbeknownst to them that a mysterious force took notice of the poor boy and decided that he was going to be a vassal for 'it'.]
...
Zeke read the lore and was left at awe and inquisitive, several terms in the lore where quoted and he couldn't help but be curious about them especially the 'it'.
"System, what's the 'soul' all about? Aren't mana the norm in here?"
[Soul is indeed Mana and vice-versa, the body of Earigans are usually surrounded by mana and their soul which contains the system and capability for magic is as important as the heart. Getting your soul stolen is by no means illegal and only the most crudest of dark mages can ever perform it and the stolen soul will be crystallized after crystallization another can consume it and add the talent of the stolen soul to his own.]
Zeke while listening was gathering twigs and placing them in a certain order, after Firaga finished her explanation Zeke asked another question.
"If that's the case, why can I use magic?"
[Sigh]
As he was about to light up the gathered twigs, Zeke's face twitched at the unwillingness of his system but paid it no more attention as she began speaking once more.
[Your soul and Zeke's soul are different, you died previously and your soul reincarnated into here, but that is also the reason why I gave you the advice to not learn a element without care. For example is the case for now, your body is a water mage's body but you learned fire so there might be a few 'problems' later on]
Zeke was still nonchalantly inspecting every thing near him and ignored the last bit of Firaga's words, to him fire was what he chose because it was practical for now. Hearing Firaga's warning about only able to learn one element did bother him but he was a given blessings so the thought of him being hindered the same as others didn't cross his mind.
"I'll probably be an awesome op mage that can use all elements, just chill system I'm born with talent right?"
As Zeke was patting himself in the back for being open-minded a nearby bush shook and made some noise, this alerted him and he ran a few meters away from it. After a few seconds and a boar was seen coming out of the bush seemingly injured.
[Black Boar]
[Lvl 3]
[Lore = ???]
STR = 7
MAG = 1
AGI = 7
VIT = 10
DEX = 8
SKILLS
Ram - A classic boar move, infuses his tusks with a little bit of mana and charges with unusual speed. Power is connected to it's velocity
Tusk Bomba - A classic combo boar move, after a successful ram the boar uses his strength to throw the target upwards and slams them down
Zeke was a little perplexed at the skills of this injured boar, more terms means more info and more info means more advantage. Without further ado, Zeke charges the fire in his hand and felt mana flow out from the back of his brain where the pineal gland was into his hand which were then transformed into little sparks of fire.
[New Skill Learned: Fireball]
Zeke grinned and continued focusing his mana to form a ball, it felt like he had done it in since he was a baby and a fireball the size of a tennis ball appeared from his tiny palms. The boar saw this and immediately charged, thinking the little human in front of it was useless and weak.
"Fireball!"
FWOOSH
Zeke didn't really need to shout the name but being the person that he is, it was hard not to. The fireball in his palms was thrown in a straight line and landed on the boar's head stopping it on it's tracks since there was a huge burnt hole in it's head.
THUD
Eerie silence encompassed the surrounding forest as Zeke stood there in a daze, obviously staring at his system.
[Gained 300x2 EXP....Bonus from beating a higher leveled enemy 100x2 EXP... LVL +6...HP bar unlocked....MP bar unlocked...EXP bar unlocked]
[Achievement: First blood]
[Achievement: The stronger the better... Skill point +2 ]
Zeke whistled and grinned, before checking his stats.
"System Status!"
[Don't have to shout it just say status in your head quietly please~]
Firaga was indeed annoyed at Zeke's constant call for nothing but she kept it in until now because she wasn't really bothered by it the first few times, the thought of him doing it for another million times is what scared her.

SKILLS
Blessings of Eariga
Basic Fire (low)
Fireball - By conjuring fire element mana into your palms, you can create a ball made of fire that can be thrown and deal devastating damage to anyone if your level and stats are sufficient.
Skill Point = 2 usable
Zeke had his jaws wide open, his Mag just went up in a ridiculous fashion. It either means he was an absolute cheat or it was a normal occurrence for mages, he bet on the former because he was isekai'd you know?
"So this Blessing of Eariga was serious about the x2 to all exp and stats"
[Of course it is, it was given by me after 'it' ordered the soul of Eariga to bless you]
Zeke ignored her once more and stared at the 2 skill points he got, if this does what he exactly think it does then he was bound to be a god.
"System this skill point levels up a skill by 1 right?"
[Skill Points are obtained by creating your own skill or in this case learning it without aid, it doubled because of the blessing. Their functions are to upgrade a skill regardless of any consequences, by the way you can't upgrade the blessing since that's already the highest it can go~]
Zeke frowned at the last part, it was indeed his plan to try and level up the blessing I mean x4 to exp and stats is very, very fitting for an otherworlder, no? Alas he can only sigh and use the 2 points on another skill.
"System use my 2 skill points on my fire element, seeing as how it bore a deep hole at the boar's head I'm sure it's useful, oh and kindly put all my stats on Mag and explain it"
[... Don't you mean to explain Mag and then upgrade it? I advice for a balanced stat distributio-]
"Put all my stats on Mag and then explain what it does, I'm not dumb to not know that Mag is equal to mana and magic power"
[Basic Fire (low) has been upgraded to Basic Fire (high)]
After a bit, Zeke felt a surge of refreshing energy flow through him and several cracking sounds were made in his penial gland. Firaga soon explained what all the stats does and not just Mag much to his annoyance.
[Since it's better for you to know about them all, I'll do that instead~ STR is for your strength it means stronger body the higher it is. MAG is in simpler terms intelligence and is connected to your soul which by now you would notice as your penial gland the higher it is the better the quality and quantity of your mana. AGI is speed the higher it is the faster and flexible you are. VIT is durability higher means harder. DEX is Dexterity and means the control of most your body parts with high control it can also be linked to reaction time though Mag does most with it.]
Zeke nodded slowly and then got interested on something else, he felt a surge of heat that he is connected with grow hotter and more clear as if it's a string that just got thicker.
"What about my 2 skill points?"
[Magic Elements have ranks in this world yours is Basic Fire for now and whenever it goes past (peak) it will evolve to the next stage. There are Basic, Professional and Master there are more ranks of fire past those but people rarely get past the (peak) of Master in any element let alone Fire]
Zeke only listened to bits and pieces of it and he already knows that this world most probably cultivates one way or the other, though the cheat called skill point would make it somewhat meaningless. He went to the bush where the boar came from and after inspecting a bit he found a corpse of a dead mage, he was injured and it doesn't look like boar ones.
"Probably got injured by another mage, it looks like burns but it's definitely lightning and then the boar found him and he somehow damaged the boar while dying in the process"
Zeke smirked while yanking a pouch away from the corpse, he also took several things like the robe and staff before burning the corpse to ashes. To his surprise however his previously normal fire was hotter than before and the size of the fireball turned into a dodgeball sized one.
[Obtained Magic Pouch, would you like to transfer content to your own inventory along with the Staff of Zerkias and Robe of Anti-Hex?]
"Sure, oh and give me the staff, appraise it too!"
[Obtained Bronze Coins 1,000,000,000 Silver Coins 1,000,000,000 Gold coins 1,000 and a Crown Coin 1]
"Wait what? Is it a ration of 100 to 1 in each coin?"
[Yes, 100 bronze is to 1 silver and so on. Crown Coin however is equal to 1,000 gold coins and is the highest level of currency in the world which is strictly for royals and rich merchants]
He was elated, the amount of money he got from a forest only proves the point that forests after being isekai'd is equal to a treasure trove. Next is a tomb and the point is a fact.
"What's the total amount of gold coins I have?"
[Calculating...10,102,000 gold coins or 10,102 crown coins]
"Sweet mother of god, holy shit! What in Christ's good name is this blinding amount of gold and riches in my hands"
[Yes...That's quite an amount from corpse robbing]
[Staff of Zerkias - A staff made of titanium and mana iron, it reduces the mana used from water related skills]
"Nice, system I want to learn water magic!"
[Error... Magic Element Limit is only 1]
Zeke ignored it the first time and asked the system if he can do something to quickly learn another element, he won't possibly be a pyro obsessed freak right?
[Sorry, but I already warned you before not to blindly waste that one free choice. Most kings and popes in this world have more than 1 element. The Demon lord of Demnias does however uses Dark, Lightning and Water elements but you don't have his sort of potential for multi-elements]
Zeke was crestfallen as he now realizes something aside from ignoring the warning time to time, he never bothered to take whatever the system said at face value. But now...
"I have messed up..."
Firaga detected the sadness in the voice of his host and immediately tried to cheer him up.
[No, no! It doesn't matter maybe you really end up lucky and plus there are skills that can use different elements despite you not having them! Those are the Factory Spells that can be learned by anyone with a magic chip, you just have to insert factory spells to it and boom multi-elements hehe...they all suck however]
Zeke landed on his knees and tears fell from his eyes, it was genuine tears and sadness, this wasn't his plan so learning that he was stuck to the fire element made him cry in horror...
"NOW I'M FORCED TO BE A PYROMANIAC! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
[Wha? What do you mean?]
"I only wanted to learn different elements because if I only had one then I'll grow extremely biased towards it and probably waste all my skill points on it and grow it to unfathomable levels and when that happens, can you imagine all the title they're going to give me?!"
[Fire Master?]
"NO, YOU DONKEY! THEY'RE GONNA CALL ME PYRO AND SOME BULLSHIT LATIN WORD!"
[Huh?]
"DON'T YOU GET IT?! In this age of medieval sword and magic latin shit like those are very much use, right?"
[...]
Zeke was still shivering but he did notice the silence of his system, it was like she was staring at a idiot and that can only be him. He was about to shout again when Firaga replied.
[In who's gods name did you get the idea that this is a medieval world? We're currently in NME 500 which stands way past BCE and CE, it means New Magic Era that arrived when humans found the usage of magic once more after a certain worldwide apocalyptic event happened. Humans can now use magic along with technology and latin is outdated...English is now the most spoken language going past Mandarin]
Zeke stood in shock, he took all that has happened and immediately put the pieces together. Apparently he seems to have missed the fact that there was a smartphone at his inventory and heck there was even car keys in there!
"You mean this is a modern world with magic?"
[Affirmative]
Zeke slowly stood up and a grin maliciously sneaked it's way into his lips before taking a mirror from his inventory and looking at his current body. It was around 4'5 and he had ash white curly hair with red base top that extends to certain strands giving him a red looking ash white hair, he had long eyelashes pupiless orange eyes that may look dead after prolonged stares. He had a perfect chin with a cute button nose, slightly chubby face and a plump feminine lips, if you didn't know better it's easy to mistake Zeke for a female especially with his long eyelashes and lips.
"I look gay..."
Zeke sighed at his new gayish face and immediately started walking out of the forest, judging by the heat of the sun it was a few hours away from high noon and he aimed to find civilization before the sun sets.
"If I can't learn other elements, then I'll just be so great at fire magic that the gods themselves would beg me to learn other elements!"
Our newly awakened pyromaniac is finally starting on his journey to become the Flame Lord, hopefully he does it fast...
...
Higher Realm, Istravosia, Kingdom of Me:Neir
A white haired, dark skinned man was sitting on a throne with his chin resting on his fist he wore majestic looking clothes with a cape that seems to be floating behind him. Soon the door opened and a big buff man came in with heavy armor that covered him except the face, he had red eyes and was bald with a few scars here and there.
"Your Highness!"
The man kneeled and continued his sentence.
"We found traces of 'it' in both the lower realm and middle realm, more specifically she seemed to have stopped in Eariga of the middle realm and Doxtrinamos of the lower realm"
The man in the thrown raised an eye brow and smirked.
"High-Humans and Demi-Humans eh? If I'm not mistaken we have control of Eariga, no?"
His voice was if not loud, full of authority and the bald man shivered with each word.
"Y-yeeees-!"
He stopped his sentence after messing up and suddenly he disappeared, more precisely he was turned to dust.
"Tch, you dare mess up while speaking to me? Artas!"
A man in a butler outfit appeared and stood near the throne while bowing.
"Yes, sire?"
"Find the one on Doxtrinamos first and then make the ones from Eariga report whatever unusual things happen on their side"
The butler bowed once more and then disappeared. The man in the throne stood up revealing his tall height of 7'3 as he walks towards a window where flying ships and countless dragons flew.
"My dear daughter...where art thou? 'it' will pay if you are ever harmed during your reincarnation"
All of the sudden a warm wind blows, making the king alarmed as he glanced far beyond to the west.
"It seems a powerful being has reincarnated? An Ifrit?"
The king touched his arm where he felt the warm wind only to find his skin burned. He then smirked and went back to his throne as white light enveloped his arms making the burn heal or rather disappear.
"It won't last long, once I reunite with my dear daughter...'it' and his fellow existences will cease to live. Enjoy your short life"
