Inside Harry's Mindscape.

On the 50th floor of Aincrad. Harry had just put the finishing touches on this floor.

"I wonder if anybody will ever even reach here. The floors are designed in a way to 'wear out' the mind attack. Unless they put a lot of magic behind their attack to sustain it, i doubt it will come this far."

Harry watched the masterpiece he was building with a proud expression. " I feel like a Demon Lord who build his castle like a House of Horrors so that he can torment any Hero that dares to enter. Ahhh, I can't freaking wait for someone to try a Mind Attack"

"Now, what do I do next?" Harry mused for a while

"Well i guess its time to do a little Self Reflection. aits been a while since i did the last one and i have grown again. The most basic way to measure power is by these categories. Well at least to my current understanding I might change these as i grow stronger and more wise"

Harry imagined a few white boards and words stared to appear on them.

Raw Power- Self Explanatory. If you have enough power you can't be stopped.

Knowledge and Understanding - Knowledge about yourself and the world. Knowledge is the basis for magic and fighting.

Tools- Weapons, Sacred Gears, Magical Swords, Magical Foci.

Skills- This can be separated into. Physical, Mental and Magical. Everything that can be trained and taught. Your Body. Weapons and MageCraft.

Bloodlines and Racial Abilities. Self Explanatory

Other. Things that don't belong in any of the previous mentioned categories

"This is how people in this world are categorized. At least according to the books. But MageCraft belongs in both Knowledge and Skills. It's not perfect but it works as a Basic outline"

He started to 'write' on one of the boards.

~Raw Power- Beginnings Mid Class. 

"Despite my young age. My experience with MageCraft and the way it is trained has helped me propel my raw mana very fast. Any supernatural species except Dragons, always grows the fastest until Adulthood. After reaching it the progress slows down considerably. So I'm going to push this thing as far as I can. But its still better than dragons. They have permanent slow growth. But it balances out since they are the strongest species"

~Knowledge and Understanding

"I have a fucking giant library in my basement one that has been slowly filled by my family over the course of centuries. And I am about to copy the Restricted Section in Hogwarts.

Knowledge is what I excel at. Understanding on the other hand is about concepts. Something that I am working on with 'Souls' with the Peverell Magic. But I'm still an amateur so that's far away. Trying to understand concepts this early without a proper foundation is a waste of time. For a good start in concerts i need high levels of knowledge and power or the concert might destroy me instead,"

~Tools

"For tools I have my Sacred Gear Mirror Alice.

My Wands and Staffs. Replaceable magical foci.

And My Belmont Magic Circle."

Harry added some additional notes to that

"Magic Circle.

25% is the lowest magic circle that exists today. Since its so wide spread.

30%-35% is the magic circle Mid-Class Wizards use.

Higher rank around has around 40- 60%

The Belmont Magic Circle is 55%. One of the Previous Heads of Belmont must have been very lucky to get that. Or he just found it at the lair/base of whatever monster he slayed.

Pillar Devils that have studied and refined their Magic Circle for centuries have an efficiency of 75%.

Satan Houses have 85%. Since they were the kings. Of course they will hire and force people to increase their Magic Circle efficiency.

Devil Servants get a Servant magic circle which has about 50% efficiency. And Peerage members get the same magic circle as the House Members. Since it would increase their odds at wining the Rating Games. That's why stray devils are always hunted down and killed.

If the House doesn't participate in Rating Games. The peerage members get a weaker version than the House Magic Circle. "

~Skills

"Minimal Hand to Hand Training.

My body is coming along nicely but its still Low Class since i am so young. But i need to up the training. The stronger the vessel the easier will it be for me to use the magic within my body... God i hate training."

Harry chuckled at that, but continued writing

"My frankly insane Mind Palace

Magecraft

Alchemy Transmutation Magic

Bleach Magic

Warding and Healing "

~Bloodline and Racial Abilities

"Racial Ability: Wizard

Being able to use a knock off version of Devil Magic

Bloodlines: Potter, Black, Peverell. Slytherin

Potter no major gain except being somewhat more talented in combat.

Black: Affinity for Dark Magic.

Peverell: Affinity for Black Magic, Necromancy, Soul Magic.

Slytherin: Parselmagic, Affinity for Wards and Healing"

~ Other

"Hunters Ritual: Rite of Conquest 

Talent: Huge Affinity for Magic

MONEYYYY!!!"

If anyone says you don't need money to be strong then they are idiots. You need money to supplement your growth with nutritional meals and better equipment like proper weights.

Money is also needed to to buy 'Tools'.

Servants/ Support:

Having people who work and fight for you is also considered a type of strength. What good does it do if i can fight a mid class to a tie, when two more pop up to help him.

Having capable people protect me and cover my blind spots is also an important aspect i need to start taking more seriously. Not that I have a lot of blind spots to begin with.

For now only Hope fits this category. Oh and the Werewolves i just hired.

Harry looked at the boards and nodded "This looks accurate. I have to say I am doing great for an 11 year old child. Now, time to learn some new spells"

~ Knockturn Alley 

Knockturn Alley, on paper it was a shopping district the same as Diagon Alley. Put the wizards saw it as something else. The slums, the black market, the place where all dark wizards and creatures gather.

And they were right somewhat. But most of them had no other choice but to stay there. The Werewolves for example, were bullied away from all civilized areas forcing them to live in the forests and mountains. The only way for them to earn money was to do business in Knockturn alley. Same for Vampires and Hags.

The entire Alley was encased in darkness and shadows. Only the lights from the shops were present and barely lit up the road.

FSHHHHH

A green flash went out at one of the fireplaces and a cloaked figure came out. The residents of the Alley knew that the Fireplaces were protected by the purebloods, they paid a lot of money for a 'security force' who kept watch over the fireplace, making sure people don't go near it. There were two fireplaces, one for entry and one for exit. And judging by the expensive clothes the cloaked figure wore. This was was definitely one of them, a pureblood wizard.

The figure waved their wand over themselves and got rid of the dust and ash. Judging by the build the figure was most definitely a man. He looked at the crowed and everybody scattered away. Not wanting to cause trouble for themselves. They knew that the others will easily attack them if the pureblood threw a few Galleons their way. It was a cut throat place.

But a few others didn't move. And kept on with their business. These were the 'people' who were confident in their strength to survive against wizards. Older Vampires, werewolves and hags. They haven't survived this long by being careless and playing weak.

The cloaked man scoffed and proceeded to walk deeper into the Alley. After walking through a few twists and turns he arrived at a certain broken down building. The first floor looked like it was about to fall apart at any minute. While the ground floor looked like it was rotting.

The man arrived in front of the door and tapped 5 key points with his wand.

Ckrrrrr

The door creaked open. Showing the dusty interior with broken furniture and cobwebs everywhere. The man walked forward but.. his steps didn't place any marks on the dusty floor. He kept walking until he reached the door at the back of the room. He took off his hood.

Knock. Knock

He knocked twice. Once on the left, once on the right side of the door.

"Its me" he said somewhat loudly so the people could recognize his voice.

The door opened and a man showed up with his wand pointed at the 'intruder' who only raised an eyebrow

"Heh, welcome Malfoy"

Lucius Malfoy only scoffed a bit "Good to see you again Nott"

Nott opened the door and Malfoy entered the room. The inside was a lot more different and more fancy than the outside. A large circular wooden table, surrounded by comfortable leather chairs. There was a various assortment of drinks and food on the table. The walls were tastefully decorated and there were many lamps up around the room.

"Greetings gentlemen" Lucius says in his 'colleagues' "Apologizes for the wait. There has been a 'complication' " he takes his seat on the table

"What kind of complication?" Corban Yaxley asked with his eyes narrowed. Nothing is simple in their line of work.

"Narcissa is missing. The house elf says that she received a letter and quickly left the house with a panicked expression. So she left willingly, and didn't carry anything with her so she didn't run away." Lucius says with a calm expression, like his wife wasn't missing.

"Did the elf recognize the seal on the letter if there was one" Macnair asked, this was a very unusual situation. They all know Narcissa Black. She was a cold and calculating woman. If anything can make her panic to the point that she wouldn't even tell her husband. That must mean its serious business.

"No" Lucius replied with the same tone, but on the inside he was sweating. The house elf had recognized the seal. The crest of the House of Black. But only Lord Black could sent out that letter since the seal is made with the Lord Ring.

That means there is a new Lord. Someone other than his son. Sirius was cast out of the house and was currently in France. If the Lord of the house summoned her, Narcissa would have no choice but to comply or she would be thrown out of the house. The fact that she hasn't returned means the new lord is keeping her there.

If the others were to find out that he didn't have access to the Black Fortune his position would immediately drop. He needs to figure out a way to get in the good graces of the new Lord, and if possible kill him right away.

The new Lord can nullify his marriage to Narcissa, and can ruin everything he has built. Technically he was in debt of the house of Black. He just kept taking money since eventually his son would be the new Lord and would just cancel the debt. But that wasn't going to happen now.

"Well we should discuss that later. For now, lets talk about what benefits we can gain right now. Dumbledore's position hasn't been this weak in decades." Theodore Nott suggests

"Agreed. We need to strike while we still can."

"We also need to discuss about the new Lord Potter"

"Maybe push though some of the Law's we didn't succeed last time"

Malfoy took a deep breath " Indeed. Gentlemen, lets get down to business"

And so once again the another meeting of the Dark/ Traditionalist Faction begun. And many more plans to extend their influence in the British Isles were created.
