Meaning of Magic

Huh? What was that? Something about Embodiment? I'll ignore that for now since it's a skill of mine, and it couldn't be bad. But now I was getting weird looks from people who looked nothing like Japanese. I realized I wasn't in Japan. With a quick look around, I realized I was in America. Of course, I could understand English due to the ungodly number of American students and tourists, which were better to deal with than the locals. I would've walked through the Streets of what seemed to be New York. Of course, no one came to attack, mostly because I was 6'6 and teleported here, but others looked at me and blushed or flustered. I knew I looked good, but I didn't think I was THAT good-looking. I went inside an ice cream store to get some ice cream, of course I knew that there must be something to ruin my day soon.

[Emergency: A Gate of Beasts is forming nearby. Please evacuate quickly.]

"JUST AS I WAS- You know what? I'm gonna fucking destroy this shit. These beasts can go kill themselves before I do the job my fucking self."

I looked around as I tried to find where the fuck this gate was forming. Seeing it was in the sky, and monsters hadn't come out of the gate, I would launch myself up into the portal as people screamed something to me about not going inside, but I barely even thought it and saw the landscape that was hell. Thousands of monsters surrounded the gate as I pointed blank at one of them speaking a singular word.

"『Limitless』... For what is fake shall be real, and what is real shall be fake, Imaginary Technique, Reality Flip."

Whatever was real had become fake, and whatever was considered logical became illogical within my pocket world. Because of this, I tapped the ground as a shockwave formed, sending beasts back, flying about a few hundred meters away. I would position my legs, lift them slightly, and slam the ground as I was sent flying towards the many beasts here.

"Get Ready for a FUCKING BEATING OF YOUR LIFETIME!"

I punched one directly in the face while flying at such speeds, which created a strong enough shockwave to rupture sound, breaking the sound barrier ten times over. This surprised me, considering I thought it could only be broken once, and if it was done multiple times over, it was just something from those Anime or stuff. But it didn't matter if I could do this. Thousands upon thousands of those beasts died, which had given me hundreds of thousands of EXP that could level me up, but it was still calculating-

"Doesn't it Usually take a long ass time? Whatever not like it matters."

I put my hands on the ground and backflipped and stood, looking at the portal as beasts poured out. Of course, I could still deal with them, so I had to think of a way so none of them could escape. I had the stupid idea of closing the portal. Still, since there wasn't much else I could do to eradicate all of them, that was the only method I had; I'd fly back to the portal with the use of 『Sora』as I left the portal with the usage of a new mixture of both 『Spatial』and 『Temporal』Magic which would be 『Space-Time Magic』 as the four dimensions which make up this pocket realm that were Length, Width, Depth and Time being crushed and closing the portal killing every single beast inside of the [Gate].

"Jesus fuck, I wonder how high my stats will go now; I just wish there was some sort of auto stat increase in what's required..."

[New Early Access Feature Unlocked - Auto Stat]

"This must be something Light did, no...? Whatever, not like I don't appreciate it, thanks."

I landed on the ground and looked around. People were fighting the beasts, and Magicians were using their magic, but something was weird. While my magic output seemed strong, theirs was vastly different, as if they thought magic was weaker; I mean, I doubt they'd know much about magic if it was this much weaker than mine; I kept my magic simple or, well my idea of what magic was, some others may have been complicated at least because of them thinking magic worked that way, which now I understood how magic worked, it was all dependent on what people believed, at least for themselves, if someone thought magic was complex that's how it worked, if magic was simple it would be simple, purely for them, if it was strong it was strong, if it was weak it would be weak, it can be whatever we had imagined.

"This seems interesting; I have a lot of Ideas... But I should limit myself; I don't want to go insane with my magic."

[Limitations Activating per User's Request, Whatever Limitations User wants will be implemented]

"Separate the magic into multiple levels, limit what magic I can use until I reach a higher level of mana in my stats and understanding of magic. But as a failsafe, if I am ever in danger of being above my level by a huge margin in magic, removes such limitations so I cannot die so easily."

[Limitations activating, Failsafe has been created; please tell me when to activate it. It will automatically activate if you cannot speak or think it.]

Now I wonder how Tsuki would react to me limiting myself, but I had my reasons; if I had too much power, I would get greedy, and if I had too little power, I would have low self-esteem, thinking of myself as weak. I might die to someone I don't want to die to unless, of course, I'm faking something like that. But I want to do that without a good enough reason.

I saw people rushing towards me as I quickly shifted myself through 『Spatial Coordinates』appearing in Japan once more as I looked around.

"W- CAPTURE HER!"

I looked at them and looked surprised as I began flying in the air and looked at my stats.

Level - [70]

Strength - 40

Speed - 60

Perception - 60

Endurance/Durability - 50

Magic - 140

Resistance - 20

Intelligence/Knowledge - ???

A new stat? Well, I didn't mind it, but I continued floating in the air as what seemed to be officials tried to grab me and pull me down. I looked over and saw influential people; when I said that, I could see how strong they were with the use of 『Mana Detection』they were about level thirty and forty.

"Wait a second, I doubt a random person could just teleport here, so tell me, what level are you, and what can you do?"

"Uhhhh, I'm level seventy and can use magic."

"Such a level for someone so weak; magic hasn't grown enough for people to use them effectively, so just leave."

"Yeah, maybe because that's how they imagine magic to work; magic relies on what we think, so the stronger we believe magic starts off as, the stronger it will be for you; you might mean those who are godlike in power when it comes to magic. But since your that ignorant, you can go ahead and get yourself killed since magic is versatile as fuck."

I gave a sassy smirk before sending down a ball of flame, causing it to explode; smoke surrounded where I was before I disappeared 『Spatial Movement』which works similarly to 『Spatial Coordinates』except it is more local and has a broader range, while 『Spatial Coordinates』is accurate and towards the exact location you choose.

"People are ignorant as fuck.... No wonder old men and women aren't worthy of controlling everything, but at least they are good at some things."

I walked through the streets of Japan, now bored, but I felt weird; my mind was changing, and I was gaining some random knowledge. Now that I think about it, the Earth seems like the only planet with life, so I wanted to find a place with more life; I would stop standing in the middle of the road as cars did not pass, but people did; I would've launched myself into the sky with the use of 『Sora』going higher and higher, I had also used mana to surround my body which then integrated into every part of my body seemingly enhancing it and cleaning my body making it able to withstand the hot and cold of space along with the absence of Oxygen as I did not need something like that anymore.

[Mana Body has been unlocked, New Skill Saved inside Chaotic System]

Flying into space, I looked around. I could breathe there and see, and I wouldn't be damaged by space radiation, cosmic rays, solar flares, or anything else which was passive. But I'll leave that be. Flying inside space, I noticed the planets moving from their will. Just as I reached Mars, I saw the planets themselves turn into humanoid figures, Mercury being a young boy, Venus being a beautiful woman, Earth being an attractive and older woman, and then Mars, which I had passed becoming man covered in what seemed to be olden day Roman Armor.

"Watch out, Earthling!"

"Huh?-"

BOOM!! I hit an asteroid on my head as I looked annoyed, looking towards the voice. It was Jupiter, a giant man wearing old Greek godlike clothing; though he looked calmer and a lot nicer, I would wave while using mana to refresh my flesh, bones, and muscles. flying faster going past Jupiter. I knew how fast I was going, it seemed surreal and even seemed unrealistic that I was moving this fast, I could travel light years in mere seconds; But I felt like I could go faster though I choose not to since I still want to admire the beauty of the Solar System, Once I reached Saturn, quickly passing her as she waved while playing with her moons who became humanoid as well, and then I reached Uranus, who shot an arrow directly toward me as I almost lost my leg to it.

"HEY WATCH WHERE YOUR SHOOTING!!"

"Sorry Mate!"

He apologized which I was happy about I had chuckled because of his Australian accent as it was something I didn't expect. Finally reaching Neptune I looked at him as he disappeared into nothingness it felt weird but it was also funny. I would see his moons wander aimlessly but I knew they were still being watched by Neptune to keep them safe, I continued flying for hours only to then realize I should've gone full speed ahead. In a split second I had left the Oort cloud and even passed the nearest stars, I looked at myself and then felt that my heart was not beating, and I could not feel my lower body, but I was still alive but I could not see my lower body so I used mana to heal my body back again and again, and because of that my body had been passively upgraded by mana. As I flew, my body would slam right through what was a humanoid star, I couldn't recognize who they were as I was slamming right into them and then past them; I looked at my body, which was in flames as I looked distraught, turning to them, who looked hurt by that. Only then did I realize that the flames were not burning me even though I had touched flames which reached the millions of degrees.

"I Apologize! Sorry, Sorry, Sorry!"

I continued apologizing till they looked at me and chuckled; I would look at them as if my eyes were slightly burning, but I fixed it with, guess what I don't think anyone would expect- My Mana; once I did, I waved bye to them as they waved back but did not speak as if they were holding something in before I turned away I saw them sending a solar flare from their mouth which now I felt better about them not speaking because I would rather not get hit by a solar flare. I continued flying deep into space, not knowing where I was, only to get sucked into an unknown person in the center of this galaxy; it took be a few seconds but now I knew it was Sagittarius A, but seeing them in person made me surprised.

"What are you doing here [Human]?"

"I was just exploring space to find life- UWAH, WHAT YOU CAN SPEAK THAT TOO!?"

Saggitarius kept quiet for a while but then looked towards me, blinking at the flames from a star, one that had either gotten too close or was trying to fight them.

"You {Human} can speak {Eden}? It seems you are a direct descendant or a reincarnation of {REDACTED}. Then I'll do what [Light] told me to do."

What- Huh, what name did they say? and Lig- UWGAHHHHHHHH.

"WAIT- NO- LIGHT FUCK YO-"

I got sucked into Sagittarius A, reaching their singularity in seconds and then falling from what seemed to be the sky and landing on some random location; another thing that happened was that my personality would change drastically...
