73: Holistic Fantasy by Ruqing Rusu(multicross)

Fic type: oc

I had been putting off reading this for a while but I decided to start now and its pretty decent. This is a Cn novel BTW. Some reviews kept complaining about how it becomes bad later on but I read it and so far its still good. Besides the only ones who were complaining are saying this after atleast 500 chapters in so I will enjoy it till then I guess and then decide further.

Anyway the mc is not a reincarnated otaku which is refreshing. His prime world seems to be Fairy tail where he grew up. The mc's job is to save worlds that are getting destroyed and all that stuff. He has a harem in the future I guess but so far he has no one. The mc is Op and sometimes kinda reminds me of Haru from that sis-con dimensional chat group fic. It has a slow beginning but picks up pace after he gains his magic (Crush magic).

Also the translation is pretty smooth.

I have posted three chapter (four if count the prologue).

Holistic Fantasy Chapter 0: Born within a white dreamland

Feathers….

Feathers descending from the sky…

Suspended in bubbles, they flew down…

Covered in white glow and enclosed within them, these floating feathers came raining down…

In front of the young lad, this scene unfolded….

This scene registered itself in the young lad who looks 11 or 12 and in the true sense of the word just born. After obtaining a will and consciousness this scene entered his eyes….

Everything is white before him….

Those glowing bubbles with feather suspended is even whiter…

In a world where there is nothing else…

There's only a blinding white, bubbles of feathers gently raining down and floating about in a world of white feathers….

Observing this surreal scene, the youngster went into a daze, his silky hair fluttering along with the wind, his starry dark eyes looked upon the feathers falling from the heavens. It feels like he's submerged in amniotic fluid inside the embrace of his mother, there's a weird warmness and peace.

This feeling didn't last long however as an instance later the scene took a drastic turn, so drastic it made his heart jump.

It's still the same bubbles with feathers descending from heaven…

However, this time, what fell were feathers that had lost their resplendent glow and broke down into pieces as if deliberately destroyed. They were oh so dim…

Looking at the broken fragments with their light lost, he watched as these feathers rained down, he felt really complicated right now…

Dejection?….

Anger?…

Sadness?…

Frustration?…

Perhaps a mix of all of them.

But what came out more often than others were a kind of——-pain.

As the feels flowed through him, he had a hunch at that very moment.

His birth, it appears is to right these scattered and smashed dim feathers, return them to their former glory and state…

Without conscious though he reached out towards the nearest broken feather….

『White dreamworld… at this point… was discontinued…

...

"—-!"

Like he just woke up from some nightmare the youth opened his eyes abruptly and like a spring he raised his body from laid down position.

"Hufff… huff…"

With heavy brethes he held his head, his dark deep eyes kept shaking, there was still some despondence from the white dream world but he's more at a loss of what to do then dazed.

With a forlorn expression the youngster raised his head and using that lost eyes, he turned his attention towards his surrounding.

This is a forest unknown and foreign to him.

He can see that in this place there's only trees with various sizes and scattered leaves everywhere.

Redolent of his dream world, the leaves of green and yellow intertwined to fall from the trees, some landed on the ground, some were carried towards him who was sitting on the ground with a vacant expression covered by nothing but a piece of cloth. This made him almost fell back into a stupor from recalling the white dreamland.

Compared with dreamworld however, reality is cruel.

Unlike 『white dreamland』the forest lacked its beauty and its surreal nature. It however gave him a jump and made his mind go blank in a different sense when he looked towards a bush near him.

"Growl…"

Low growls resounded one after another in this space.

"rustle.. rustle…"

Steps lightened on purpose came to his ear after rubbing with something.

In moments, big figures started appearing from the bushes surrounding him and slowly they became clearer in his eyes.

It was a bunch of quadrupedal organisms with over 2 meters height and feral faces.

If he had the common sense of humans then he would no doubt know tha these creatures are overgrown wolves.

"Growl…"

The growls continued as the black wolves appeared from inside the forest locked onto the youth and slowly encircling from all directions.

"—-!"

Sitting on the ground the youth covered by only a cloth felt his mind crying out in alarm, his heart throbbed hard and his muscles tensed up, and his throat had a searing sensation.

Though he didn't know what these creatures are, from their vicious looks he could feel his predicament.

His alarmed brain is telling him — run!

His throbbing heart is telling him — escape!

His dry throat told him —-withdraw!

It even sounds like there're voices coming from all directions shouting at him—- run!

Run! Run! Run!

He understands his most logical move, but his limbs simply won't listen and the thing known as 'strength' sap away as the scary things drew closer.

Even if he looked 11 or 12 but besides the scene in 『white dreamland』 there's nothing he remembers.

In other words, he doesn't know why he's here, why he only has a piece of cloth covering him, even why he's actually 11 or 12 but don't seem to remember any past details of having lived for slightly over a decade.

It's really as if he's just born!

Too bad, moments after his birth, this world gave him his first experience of an emotion.

Called —- terror!

"Raaawwwrr!"

The encroaching lifeforms faintly felt like the youth has lost all hopes of survival and gave in to the desire in them called 'hunger', they didn't hold back their roars anymore, they shot out like bullet out of barrels or arrow from bows, each of them charged at him looking lke black shadows.

"—-!"

In that moment, the fear inside him exploded.

His burning throat can't utter a sound.

His weak limbs won't support his body.

He can only stare with his pupils dilating, mind ringing in alarm stopped at this moment as well, he felt cold inside as he watched the beasts getting closer and bigger inside his horizon and he let the thing called 'terror' bring forth a weird warmness.

"Weeeennnngggg—–!"

A strong and piercing light beamed out from him like a sun, except the light didn't carry with it the searing heat that should accompany any such strong beam of lights. Shining past the dark shadows that's about to pile up on him, it lit every corner of that area.

And then the strong light materialized into something more concrete and shot out with the youth as the event center.

"Bang!"

"Rawwr!"

Dull thuds and collision sounded and what seemed to be the creatures' last roar reverberated in that area. The wolves who were about to pounce on him were sent flying away faster than they came and scattered about. Some kissed the ground, some personally redecorated the trees with their bodies, they yelped, they were laid down never to rise, dead or alive unknown.

The bright light receded revealing the youth who still had a face full of panic.

Only until then did he recover his cognitive processes. Looking at the fainted wolves littered around him he was alarmed and stupefied.

Clearly the youth could not process what just happened with his newborn brain.

He can't understand, but that didn't mean bystanders couldn't.

"What a powerful magic…"

This is the first line he has heard since coming to this world that he placed in his memory.

Except that this complete sentence didn't sound that much different to the youth than did the growls of the black wolves, it only brought him panic and dread.

"There's no need to be afraid… child…"

Perceiving his terror and dismay the owner of the voice lowered his tone and spoke with much affection and softness. And just as he voiced this out he appeared in front of the youth.

The youth felt his gaze went out of focus for a bit before seeing a figure appear in his sights.

It is a very old man who looks like he's 70+, but he only has the height of a little kid, he's wearing a white windbreaker.

The midget old man focused his eye on the youth who's still flipping out in panic, he sized him up before showing a genial grin.

"Kid, what's your name?"

Name?…

The foreign vocab entered his hear but inexplicably he understood it.

Hence he responded using the name that mysteriously appeared to him within his memory and slowly spitted it out with a hoarse, unnatural and tender voice.

"Noah (Tl:诺亚, will change this name if it's separated into individual characters as an affectionate name, alternative name in mind is Nuo Ya."

Tl: No, I don't know if he's gonna split seas I haven't finish this novel yet. Anyway, tell me if you think I should continue this series.

Holistic Fantasy Chapter 1: Fairy Tail

Early morning, there's still cold air lingering around and as the wind blew past the buildings, towards the center of Magnolia, the windows on the luxurious buildings started shaking lightly, although it's a bit chilly but it gives off that endearing early morning kind of feeling.

"Kacha…"

Squeaking lightly, the half closed window is being opened up from the inside by a teenager around the age of 11 or 12 who has black hair and deep black pupils. As he watched the busy street outside he stretched his waist before quickly shivering.

"Uu… a bit brisky…"

Feeling the work of that early breeze working its magic on him, he resisted the urge to crawl back inside his bed to hibernate he closed the curtains.

This is Fairy tail's guild!

In this world where magic is so built into human lives and in the cradle of magicians, Fiore kingdom, exist many magic guilds. These magic guilds are made of magicians who take quests given to the guild by other people, the magician then completes these quest using their magic.

And Fairy Tail could be said to be the most prominent one inside this forest of guilds, the most well known one.

Right now Fairy Tail guild is his home.

As a place where members gather to accept jobs and requests Fairy Tail guild is not a place of domicile, even Fairy Tail's guild master Makarov Dreyar lives in another location.

As adopted grandson of Makarov, since being brought back from the wilds he has lived here for a year.

Of course it's not that he didn't like living with Makarov. The reason he's living in Fairy Tail is because of complex reasons. Summing it up, he's pretty satisfied with his place right now.

Done with the curtains he looked outside the window.

He's at the top most floor of the guild so standing here he could see half of Magnolia in all its glory.

It's early morning and yet countless citizens are preparing for their day ahead, some are setting up shop, some are moving goods around, the atmosphere is bustling that's for sure.

Looking at this scene he felt most peaceful at this moment, recalling something he muttered.

"Gray should be here anytime right now…"

Just as he was done, his door was banged on by rowdy knocks.

"Hey! Noah! Get up!"

Listening to that impatient and unrestrained knocking he can't help smiling before grabbing a coat from his bedhead he put it on and looked intently at his right hand.

On closesr inspection one could see a birdlike insignia on the back of his right hand.

That's the Fairy Tail guild emblem.

The emblem tells other people that the bearer is a magician of that guild.

Fairy Tail is fiore's number one guild, as a member, nobody would not feel glorious at this.

However as he looked at the emblem he had a complicated look on his face. Finally calming himself down with a sigh he opened the door in front of him.

What appeared before him is a youngster who's roughly the same age as him.

His hair is short and black but unlike his silky and bouncy hair, his is rebel like with raised hair here and there, he's wearing a short pants but other than that he's wearing nothing else, he's currently spotting an irritated face.

"If you didn't open up, I was going to kick down the door!"

He didn't get upset at the rude comments he just responded with a helpless smile.

Gray Fullbuster, that's what this brat is called, his age is roughly the same as him but he's in Fairy Tail for 2 more years than him so he's technically noah's senior.

Though he's the senior because he's at such an age, he's still not a mature magician and is currently working as an apprentice in hopes of one day becoming one therefore he's in the same boat as Noah (Tl: no pun intended :D), the both of them are members but are unable to go on jobs or accept request.

Because their situation is like this the two of them get along rather well, they are even bffs in Fairy Tail. One could deduce this from how even though he looks upset, he would still come and wake up Noah at first chance.

"So energetic even in the morning, Gray."

Noah nonchalantly blew him off while he walked into his room indifferent to his attitude as well.

"It's you who's too laid back, I've been here and done 1 hour of training (Tl: 修行, can be translated as cultivation but it's hard to imagine Gray cultivating like wu xia novels non?). And you have just woke up despite not having learnt any magic!"

Towards this rather blunt retort, he didn't deny it at all because it's the truth, he merely shrugged it off.

He has a point, that's for sure.

Not being able to accept request, go on jobs, can't be called full fledged magician by normal standards. But despite that, he's able to use magic at an elementary level despite not being proficient at it, he could use magic and joined the guild and technically counts as a magician.

And yet in the same age range as him is Noah who could not use magic until now, he doesn't even have the qualification to be called a magician.

This is one of the reason for his complicated face when he was looking at his emblem.

Only magicians can join magic guild, that's common sense among common sense.

Even then he joined Fairy Tail under the condition of not being able to use magic yet and has donned the insignia…

Sure the good people of Fairy Tail wouldn't be so obnoxious as to talk about him being his back but he himself minds it.

"I'm feeling frustrated."

Gray still walking into his room looked at him.

"Gramps clearly said it, your magic power so astonishingly strong he's surprised why can't you use magic?"

"If I didn't recall wrong, this is the 11th time you have asked this is it not?"

Sighing before he continued.

"Gramps said my magic power is too strong, if I didn't control it and used magic haphazardly it could bring forth calamities, that's why until I can freely control the magic power inside of me I am temporarily banned from usiing magic, is what I've told you before yes?"

"But are you really that strong?"

He's skeptical at him.

"I can't see it at all!"

"That so?"

He gave him a white eyes.

"Why don't you go ask gramp then?"

This shut his yapper.

He's doubtful and is making his intention clear but he believes in Makarov's judgement, if he says so then it must be so without a chance of being wrong.

"Okay okay let's not talk anymore and go down, it's gonna get noisy down there soon!"

Nodding in agreement he hurried down with Gray.

(Tl: It should be noted that it's been a long time since I've watched Fairy Tail, waiting for it to end before I continue, so there might be some term that maybe incorrect, I will look it up on wikia but if it's not there or missed by me I would probably improvise so don't hesitate to point out any discrepancy.)

Holistic Fantasy Chapter 2: The red haired girl who can't fit in.

Fairy Tail has 3 floors.

The first floor is where the usual members gather and receive request from the bulletin board before heading out to work or do other guild activities. In a way similar to pubs and inns, members might also hang out here to spout bullshit and bust each other's ball.

The second floor is an idle area, it looks not much different from the first floor, it has a bulletin quest board as well, but on it are quests on another class altogether, only the truly strong and competent magicians acknowledged by Makarov can enter here.

The 3rd floor is a place used to put valuables and other stuff, before he moved in that is. One of the rooms there were cleaned and he moved in.

In other words, if he were not here, the 3rd floor wouldn't have any person walking around usually, even now not many people would come here aside in cases where someone's looking for him. Gray's a usual guest here, and he doesn't stay long as well.

On their way down, going pass 2nd floor they inquisitively looked at the empty floor.

Up until now there's only 1 or 2 people acknowledged by the guildmaster allowed to enter and accept quest from the 2nd floor in the whole of Fairy Tail. Naturally it wouldn't be usual to see anyone ehre.

"Ne, Noah…"

Maybe it's his curiosity speaking but Gray's getting excited.

"I heard from some of the guys around here that the quests on 2nd floor are all only for super~~~~ strong magicians, we go by here everyday, maybe we should…"

"Don't even think about it!"

He could more or less guess what he's gonna said and put an end to it before he could finish.

"When I moved into 3rd floor, gramps used a very scary face to warn me not to ever go inside there, or else we will be kicked out from the guild!"

"Kicked out?!"

Gray jumped out of surprise.

"It's just a sneak peek, how can the punishment be so serios?"

"I don't know"

He shook head.

"Gramps normally takes care of me, to use that kind of tone and threat, excluding last time when he warned me about never using magic before being able to contrl it, that would be a first, that's why we must never go inside there."

"Tsk…"

Clicking his tongue and curling his lips his excitement died down.

"Even if we can't go in now, one day we surely can!"

"As long as gramps say so, we can enter it!"

He concurred with him.

A brat who's still a hatchling magician in apprentice and another who don't even know a single magic, completely a dabbler rather than practitioner now swore to each other what normal magicians wouldn't easily dare to.

How can one put this, maybe it's because calves aren't afraid of tigers? (Tl: too young to know better) Or just snot nosed brats' bragging?

With resolved faces the two grinned at each other and moved on from the 2nd coming to the first floor while talking with each other.

"hua—!"

A very exuberant noise came to their ears as they arrived.

At this time, where it has only been a while since the sun came up, the magcians are already here and some are sitting by in group drinking and eating at the tables while some went to check out the bulletin board ready to take some quest and start another day.

As Fairy Tail guild master's grandson and having lived here for a while how can people not recognize him, once they see the dude coming down they greeted him with much vigor.

"Yo! Noah!"

"Finally awake?"

"You're later than usual today!"

"You didn't perhaps wet your bet did you?"

"Hahaha!"

With a weak expression he responded to their teasing and as usual this place is boisterous as ever, he's accustomed to this kind of atmosphere and quite frankly adores it, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to stay here.

Noah can accept the guild mates but this didn't mean Gray has the same thoughts.

"Hey! You assholes! Can you not see me?!"

Gray jumped out full of popping veins and pointed at the people inside the guild.

"I'm clearly here and yet you guys only greet Noah each and every time?!"

The guild members all burst out laughing at him.

"Before you talk. Gray, why don't you go put on some shirt!"

"Uwo?!"

Before he noticed it, he's already in his short pants.

Even Noah couldn't hold back his laughter.

They're playmates and though he looks 11,12 in age he's actually pretty impressive to be able to use magic at such a tender age. Too bad he has a weird trait —- exhibitionism (Tl: read stripper.)

Most of time the dude would go around almost butt naked! (Tl: raw says butt naked but i don't recall him ever stripping truly butt naked)

That's also why he only had a poker face when Gray came to his room.

While the guild members are having a squabble with Gray, he looked over to one of the tables in the corner of the guild.

There sat a young who looks around the same age as him and Gray.

That's a girl who looks like she doesn't fit in well with the guild's atmosphere.

She has red hair and a very exquisite and delicate face, very cute.

For some reason though, this cute who looks perfect from a lot of angle is wearing a thick and cold armor with a medical eyepatch on her eye. Sitting there alone, not talking to anyone, it's as though she's trying to put up a barrier between the world and her, she just sat there eating food alone.

The young girl's name is Erza Scarlet.

About this girl, he doesn't know much what he does know however is that she joined Fairy Tail soon after he did.

But after joining Fairy Tail, the girl has always remained like this, not socializing with anyone and not interacting whatsoever as well, Besides a few short conversation with Makarov nobody has ever had the chance to talk with her.

There's a lot of story behind this girl.

That's his first impression of her and his only one until now.

Observing her as she silently ate there in stark contrast to the unruly mood of the guild, he hesitated before heading to the counter responsible for booze and food.

"Hmm?"

As still as a mouse she munched on her stuff but a hand appeared from somewhere out of her field of vision with a plate of cake. After placing the cake on her table, it disappeared.

Raising her brows slightly and lifting her head, she looked in front only to see a broad back belonging to someone not that much older or younger than her walking straight away from her towards the exit before gradually disappearing in her line of sight.

Erza stared in a daze at the exit before recovering slightly returning to her senses before going mute again. It took her awhile before she picked up a fork and cut down a small piece and placed it in her mouth.

After sometime, she whispered with a voice only she can hear.

"So sweet…"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Holistic Fantasy Chapter 3: 1 year of focused training

Not far from Fairy Tail, in a patch of forest and mountains at the outskirt of Magnolia city.

This place isn't just any place, it's very hostile to human inhabitance.

In these woods lie countless medicinal herbs of wonderful properties, a person only needs to obtain one or two to make a killing but no sane person would traverse this place just to get some herbs.

The reason's simple, here be monsters.

Not just any beast, it's truly demonic creatures (Tl: not sure, is it magical creatures or is it simply demonic creatures). For example, the giant wolves Noah met a year ago would qualify, these creatures are absolute nightmares to normal people, only magicians can go in and out as they please here.

Fairy Tail being the no.1 guild in Fiore kingdom means that even if they were built close to this kind of place, a lot of the members would still go in and out of it regularly to hunt for herbs or demonic creatures or complete missions.

He might be small but since adoption by Makarov and joined Fairy Tail, he has been led into the place countless times before under Makarov or other magicians of the guild at least 10 times. This kind of terrain is as familiar as the back of his palm, as long as it's not too deep he won't get lost like a headless fly and bump around in there.

It used to be Makarov or other magicians last time but this time there's only him here. Since he can't learn magic yet, he dared not enter deep, he stopped at the side of a small river and didn't go in any further.

"Phew…"

With a brethe of white mist he slid his fingers into his pockets to fish out a fistful of thumb sized marbles.

If one were to inspect closely, on these marbles are faint glow barely perceptible by human vision.

After retrieving a whole bunch of them he threw them in the air without hesitation.

"shuashua—!"

Like rain those marbles poured down.

He watched the pouring marbles and reflexively stepped back. Concentrating his heart, a thick energy streamed out from him in the form of radiant light, it poured out in gales.

"Weng—!"

The torrential force rippled out of him like thunder and went towards the falling beads. Like soft palms it supported the falling marbles.

Once the marbles are suspended in the air, he can feel like a bunch of load bearing down on him like sandbags, and his mind shook.

However this kind of load has been tasted by him many times since joining Fairy Tail, he doesn't panic as he did once, in fact he's very poised, the magical power inside of him burst out, making the atmosphere around him groan in low tone, he suspended the marbles in mid air with pure magic power.

1 marble.. 2 marbles…3…4…

The number of suspended marbles increased gradually before his face turned grim as well, slightly frowning he can feel his muscle all over him tense up, his magic power that's streaming out also started to get more turbulent, it's like a hurricane inside him.

If a magician was nearby he would be jump from shock at the sheer amount coming out of him.

This amount, it's an understatement to say it's just a few dozens of times more than a magician!

With this magnitude of magic power, even if one were to include the excellent magicians in Fairy Tail would still within top 3!

Right now, the amount being released hasn't stopped and the magic power got stronger and stronger!

Aside from the serious expression he has on him, his face isn't flushed nor is he heaving. Clearly this level is nothing to him, one would be mistaken to think he has even used 10% of his reservoirs!

And with something of this order he lifted the marbles, this amount could do more than this perhaps even something like lifting a boulder the size of a grown men wouldn't be out of the question!

Just as he's lifting the 111th ball, the marble stopped in the air before slipping through his magic power and dropped down on the floor.

And with this a chain reaction of sorts happened as more marbles slipped through and some were sent scattered towards the surrounding when it touched the force. (tl: I don't suppose you could generate lightning by guiding it rather than controlling it?)

"dodododo…"

The marbles fell and made thuds in the ground for awhile before stopping.

"hu…."

Looking at the marbles still floating around him and then counting them he did a fist pump.

"133 marbles! 25 more than yesterday! It seems my magic control is getting better!"

Indeed right now what he's doing is training his magic control!

These marbles aren't normal marbles but highly magic sensitive tools.

Each one of them has a different degree of magic repulsion, if one were to exert the same force as their repulsion then they would stay in the air, but if it's too great then the ball would bounce off, too little and they repulse the magic power and drop down.

So to say, to make the marbles coming down from the sky float he would have to decide the correct amount of force to exert based on each marbles' repulsion and all these within an instant so that the force equals that of marble's repulsion and thereby making it float in the air.

Using this training method he has trained his magic control to an unimaginable level, if this kind of proficiency were to be applied to a run off the mill mage's amount of magic power then it would be on a perfect level (tl: 出神入化, godly perfect, superb achievement etc). But this amount of control barely pass to control his monstrous magic power that shocks even Makarov.

At least, it took him until just recently to reach this step so that his magic power don't go rampaging out of control.

During this one year, he has lost control many times because of intense emotions, numerous times Fairy Tail almost got destroyed as a result!

Rather had Makarov not been there then Fairy Tail would definitely have to rebuilt multiple times by now.

Stopping his thoughts here he excitedly reflected on his improvement before picking up the marbles to further train himself.

He's itching.

Itching for the day when he can finally control the gargantuan magic power within.

By achieving that, he can finally touch magic, and further himself on the path of a magician.

What he didn't notice is that while he's training, not far away, a short old man is observing him.
