That time I got reincarnated in Veldora's Cave

[Master is a week earlier before individual Hanako Mikami is reincarnated in this world and starts her journey.]

"Hanako Mikami? Not, Satoru Mikami?"

Shiro was confused.

[This reality is just one of the infinite number of realities branch together and parallel to each other, and in this reality the individual Rimuru Tempest is considered to be female before she died back in another version of Earth.]

Shiro was astonished to learn that Rimuru Tempest of this version of Tensura is female but was able to quickly get over it as he asked forlorn sage another question.

"By the way how could you even know all of this?"

[The combination effects of pursuit of truth, all of creation, and destiny manipulation granted you the power to peer in an accurate future.

Unfortunately, it is not advised to rely on this power because fate is a constant ever-changing concept, and it's not predetermined, in normal circumstances.]

Shiro pondered a bit absorbing the information and advice Forlorn Sage had given him.

"I understand, though it's still astonishing to know I have such power."

Shiro understands the point of Forlorn Sage's advice, if he relies too much on his ability to peek at the future it might someday backfire to him and that doesn't sound good.

"From now on I will refer to you as Sage. Constantly calling you forlorn sage is a hassle."

[Affirmative]

"Sage, enlighten me to the uses of my abilities."

At the moment, Shiro's main priority is to be able to make use of his powers, the world of Tensura while it might look all colorful and fun in truth is a very cruel world where world ending creatures, monsters, and madman's walked the land just like the fate universe.

He cannot guarantee his own safety even with all the power he had in his disposal.

Mastering his powers is the first step in ensuring his safety, being able to fight back is a must and the second is planning his next steps.

He might have ended his own life back on Earth, but that doesn't mean he doesn't cherish it.

His parents want for him to live a fulfilling life, and he will do just that.

In the first place the reason why he committed suicide is to avoid a fate crueler than death.

Living behind bars for all of his life is the least of all punishment he could get from what he had done.

Moreover, he didn't give a damn fuck about other people's opinions just like how it doesn't matter to those in power the opinions of those at the bottom.

Showing considerations, giving an ear and whatnot is nothing but a form of formality, and in the end a fellow person from the bottom will be punished and will have to take the blame for the mistakes of the top to ease the people while the people of the top will just continue as they see fit.

Right now, he still didn't have any prior goal on what to do.

Going to a relatively peaceful world is also an option but Shiro is not the one to back down and run against challenges.

Likewise, he also wants to explore and meet the people of this world that he can only read and watch from his phone.

Furthermore, the world of Tensura/Cardinal World is one of the many worlds out where you can obtain power at a very fast rate so long you know how the rules work.

[As you wish, master.]

Shiro spent the next two days trying to adapt to his new body and power, if it wasn't for the assistance of [Forlorn Sage] it would have taken Shiro a few months.

Right now, Shiro can confidently claim that he has mastered the basics of his powers.

"So, I have become a real devil, that's surprising."

Finding out he had become a devil shock him, but his shock only lasted a few seconds before it was replaced by astonishment.

The irony of his situation astonished him.

The people he had harmed back on Earth refer to him as a devil and now here in the world of Tensura he has become a genuine devil.

"Nevertheless, I look no different than a human except for my enhanced physical prowess, superior perception, regenerative power, ability to freely transform and high amounts of magicules leaking out."

"Moreover, humans can also achieve and gain the same abilities, as for the problem about my leaking magicules I can easily hide it using [Abyss] making me look and feel no different from any ordinary human, although comparing me to one doesn't seem so appropriate, I'm already good-looking back on my previous life but, this current features of mine are just absurd.

Shiro possessed glistening pitch-black hair that reaches his shoulders and is littered with multicolor specks that make it resemble the night sky brimming with countless stars, majestic vibrant golden eyes that seems to see through everything and adorable androgynous facial features enough to take the breath of anyone.

Shiro's looks alone could probably topple nations, figuratively.

His appearance is the most appropriate definition of the word beauty all sentient beings accepted.

…

After he was done admiring himself Shiro began strolling through the natural cave system brimming with so many magicules leaking out from Veldora.

He was trying to locate both the exit and where Veldora is sealed.

He planned to meet Veldora to get a name and establish a soul corridor with him, so he could have a free magicule generator.

Unlike Rimuru who needed to use predator on Veldora, Shiro can use his Soul Manipulation a sub skill of Dead End to create a connection between them, and he could have an Infinite supply of magicules just like Rimuru.

And even if Rimuru is to consume Veldora, Shiro can still maintain the connection thanks to his Causality Manipulation, Space Time Manipulation and Law Manipulation.

Moreover, by constantly using Veldora's essence Shiro could freely adapt to true dragon essence and might gain a slight resistance against it, becoming a true dragon in the future is also possible, but that's a matter for later.

Right now, Shiro is in front of a deep cavern thinking of a way to move to the other side.

"Sage, are you done developing teleportation magic?"

Shiro asked.

He had given Forlorn Sage a task to develop magic based on his skills.

[Affirmative. Would you like to receive the information regarding the newly acquired space magic?]

"Yes, that's the plan."

After saying so Shiro's head was flooded by a large amount of information regarding Space-Time Manipulation that was restructured and converted into a magic art by Forlorn Sage.

Teleportation, work by swapping two points of space at the same time.

Gate, works by connecting two points of space allowing safe teleportation, basically creating an instant shortcut.

Spatial Severance, works by harnessing a ruptured space and using it like a wind blade.

Spatial Storm, works by concentrating spatial elements in a designated area forcing it to become unstable until it collapse and rupture.

Dimensional Pocket, is a separate dimension for safekeeping where time and space laws have been frozen.

Shiro was satisfied.

Forlorn Sage created two offensive and three support very useful spatial magic.
