4 1st Job
Damon woke up the next day and without hesitation, headed for the guild. He needed to earn a little money before he starved to death, he didn't like the idea of mundane requests like helping at a restaurant and etc. but he had no choice.
'I will just go on a proper one later...' He thought as he entered the guild. He saw the familiar faces but ignored them and walked to the request board, as much as he adored some of the characters he had more important worries. Before, His desire for magical knowledge dwarfed everything else, now his desire for some money...
'I need that money...' He thought.
He stood in front of the board and began reading what requests were available. He instantly filtered out anything involving combat, he felt he wasn't ready for one yet.
He filtered anything that involved someone giving him orders because disliked being ordered around. That left only 2 requests on the board. One was about finding a missing pet and the other was about searching for some mushrooms in the forest.
He instantly chose the second one and just as he reached for it, someone crashed into him. He and the person hit the board and then collapsed on the ground.
Damon felt some air getting knocked out of him as he moaned and cursed inwardly, 'Which bastard was it?!'
He heard a shout just beside him, "Flame Brain! You are asking for it!"
Another shout echoed from the other side of the hall, "What are you gonna do about it? Popsicle!"
The person beside him seemed to rage as he charged at the other party, leaving behind chilling air which caused Damon to feel as if he was surrounded by ice, 'These 2 morons... Is Erza around?' He thought and searched for said person, not finding her, 'I need to get out!' he decided to leave as he quickly stood up and took the request then ran toward Mira.
He had stayed in the guild's archives/Library which was why he had not interacted with anyone but Mira. She was the one that brought him food and all... He had also avoided the occasional fights in the guild thanks to that. He had seen all the characters in the guild except the S class wizards excluding Erza that he had seen by chance when she had beaten Natsu and Grey with an Iron fist.
Mira watched the duo slowly drag the entire guild into their fight with a smile when she saw Damon approaching with urgency, "I am taking this job, Need to go, bye!" The latter ran out of the guild as he dodged dishes and debris flying around.
She didn't even get to approve... 'I saw the request so I will just add it under his name...' She thought.
Leaving behind the guildhall, Damon sighed in relief, 'Wait till I enchant myself to high heaven, then I will go and beat them all till they throw up their dinner...' He comforted himself and quickly headed to the forest near Town.
"Purple Mushrooms with yellow lines on them? I am sure those will be toxic..." He muttered as he put away the request sheet and changed direction.
'I need to get gloves and a bag from my house...' He decided.
Half an hour later, he entered the Forest with gloves on his hands while holding a bag. He began searching and occasionally found one or two under trees. He collected them till dusk.
He was tired and extremely hungry yet he had a bag full of said Mushrooms. He quickly took out the sheet, "I need to deliver them to a treehouse in the East Forest? I am in the east forest so it should be close by..." He murmured to himself then began searching for the treehouse.
He found it when the sun was gone and night had come. The trees in the forest looked a little sinister at night. He was not comfortable staying in the forest much longer so he knocked on the door of the house.
The door abruptly opened, he presented the bag, "You had posted a request at fairy tail for certain mushrooms, here you go."
To his shock, the woman didn't reply with words, she hit him in the face with a broom with enough force to make him fall to the ground. "I hate Humans, Get lost." said the woman then she took the bag and tossed him a pouch filled with money.
He slowly touched the side of his face, 'So that's Porlyusica? What a crazy woman...' He thought then took the pouch.
'30000 Jewels as promised. I will take revenge later, need food now.' He stood up and ran toward Magnolia. He was feeling a little angry at the woman for hitting him... (100 Jewels=1 Dollar -> 30000 Jewels = 300 $)
Damon didn't know it but the Job he had taken was rather dangerous since the mushrooms were very threatening to anyone who touched them or ate them. That was why the pay was quite nice for such a seemingly easy job.
He entered a restaurant, bought a lot of food, and began eating like a wolf. For some reason, his need for food was much more than it was supposed to be, he reasoned it had to do with magic and all that then stopped caring about it.
An hour later he left the restaurant with a satisfied smile and returned to the guild. He saw Mira closing the door and handed the request to her and officially completed his 1st job.
He returned to his house but didn't go to rest, rather, he searched through all the outfits the previous Damon owned. He began choosing what he wanted to enchant.
A while passed...
He stood in front of a mirror, wearing a new outfit that really suited him. (Check Paragraph comment for a Picture.)
'This is very good, this will be my main outfit then. Need to enchant. I can't on all of it so I will choose 2 parts of the outfit for now...' He thought and picked up a pen. He chose the belt and the long black coat.
He took off his clothes and began writing things on the interior parts that were not usually visible.
He wrote till late at night.
'They must give me cold resistance, heat resistance so I can wear them anywhere and for combat... also one to keep me clean in the case when I am going to wear them for long periods. They should also be durable with self-repair ability and give an added defense to me when I wear them. That's my current limit on how many enchantments I can put on these...'
He had written things on the interior parts and couldn't fit more, 'Need to learn more efficient and stronger stuff to use later...' He decided then looked at the outfit in front of him.
He concentrated as his magic came to life...
"Alter Enchant, Self-Repair, level 1." On the belt.
"Alter Enchant, Heat Resistance, level 1." On the long coat.
"Alter Enchant, Cold Resistance, level 1." On the long coat.
"Alter Enchant, Self-Clean, level 1." On the belt.
"Alter Enchant, Defense, level 1." On the long coat.
The effect of these would be on all things he wore.
He said one after another as the clothes glowed mysteriously. The last one drained him the most which left him exhausted magically and physically.
He wasn't going to sleep yet, he put on the outfit with a giddy smile and made his magic flow into it. It began fluttering a little as the interior glowed in strange orange symbols and runes, he smirked, 'This looks so cool and badass...'
He had not enchanted the pant, shirt, boots, gloves and etc. of the outfit. The reason was simple, he didn't have infinite magic power, and the bracelets along with the outfit and a weapon later would drain him of a lot of magic power in battle. He had to factor in his magical reserves for battle, with the outfit and bracelets he could fight for 30 mins per his estimation, adding in a weapon would reduce it in half which was why he didn't enchant more. He decided to do it when he had more magic power.
The enchantment effects were only going to appear when he used his magic to power them. Otherwise, it would look just like before.
The reason he didn't go with armor was that he had realized a crucial factor, 'Unless it is some legendary material, light armor fits a wizard much better. Besides with my magic, I can make cloth harder than reinforced steel while still retaining flexibility when I want it. I will go with this for now... Just need a weapon then I can take some real requests and learn fighting... To earn real money and get stronger.'
He looked at the big branch of wood he had not touched the day before and smiled, 'A weapon, huh? later... time to sleep...' He yawned and went to bed.
