A new World ?

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"

Haizel rubbed his arms and stood up from the ground. He had suffered a heavy fall when he fell from the rift in time and space.

If he hadn't gotten stronger after learning dragon-slaying magic, he would have been seriously injured just by falling down.

Haizel never expected that something unexpected would happen when passing through the Eclipse Gate.

Just now, after he stepped into the eclipse door opened by Anna, for some reason a magic circle opened beneath him.

At first he thought it was a normal reaction after passing through the Eclipse Gate, but then he noticed a panicked expression on Anna's face.

Only then did Haizel realize that something was wrong with him. With no time to think, Haizel could only throw Natsu behind him to Anna, and he was eventually swallowed up by the magic circle.

When Haizel saw the light again, he was falling from mid-air, and finally fell heavily to the ground. It took a long time for Haizel to wake up, and then he stood up and looked around to check the surrounding situation.

"I hope it won't deviate too far from Natsu's era. If it's one or two hundred years behind, It'll be a headache...!"

Haizel suddenly stopped mid-sentence, his eyes fixed in one direction, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

It was a huge skull as big as a hill. In addition to the size, the shape is also particularly strange. In addition to the normal two eye sockets, there is a circular depression in the forehead of the skull, as if an eye once grew there.

In addition, there are two huge curved horns on both sides of the skull. No matter how you look at it, it cannot be the skull left by a normal creature. It is more reasonable to say it is the skull of a demon.

Haizel pinched himself. He originally thought that an error at the Eclipse Gate would only allow him to travel to a different point in time, but he didn't expect that it would directly lead him to another world.

Such an obvious landmark made Haizel recognize it directly. He had left the world of Fairy Tail and entered another magical world. 

This is the world of black...three, four, five, who knows how many leaves of clover!

Although it is a magical world like the Fairy Tail world, the magic in this world is completely different.

In this world, everyone is born with a certain amount of magic power. Even magic is not learned but a talent destined at one's birth. The true potential of human magic is discovered after having one's own Grimoire at the age of fifteen.

That's right, Grimoire are the core thing in this world.

The size, thickness, and style of the Grimoire vary from person to person. The Grimoire will choose its own master, which is also the first test of a person's talent.

There are four countries in this world, and the core patterns of the Grimoire obtained in different countries are also different.

And the main place where the plot takes place...the Grimoire granted by the Clover Kingdom has a clover pattern on it.

The number of leaves in the clover pattern also represents the magical talent of the holder.

At this time, Haizel was on the border of the Clover Kingdom, Hage Village, the hometown of the protagonist Asta.

Haizel sighed, his face full of sadness. This kind of accident was definitely out of his plan, and now even the mature Haizel was a little at a loss.

Raising his hands and patting his face vigorously, Haizel encouraged himself: "No! It's too early to give up now. Don't forget your agreement with Igneel, Natsu is still waiting for me!"

Haizel quickly adjusted his mentality. He understood a truth from his previous life: all difficulties stem from lack of ability.

This is a world with magic, and magic represents the power of miracles. Even traveling across the world is not impossible.

Doesn't the magic circle that appeared on my body when I traveled to this world illustrate this point?

"Gulu...Gulu!"

Haizel, who had just been excited, instantly softened, and his whole body seemed weak.

Speaking of which, Haizel hasn't eaten since yesterday. Since learning dragon-slaying magic, the body has become stronger and stronger under the transformation of dragon power, and the demand for nutrition has also greatly increased.

Although he is not like Luffy in the pirate world next door who will turn into a mummy if he eats less than a few meals,Haizel will also be quite weak when he is hungry.

Touching his withered belly, Haizel dragged heavy steps towards the direction of the demon's skull. 

Although Haizel had read the original work in his previous life, he didn't know the specific terrain. Although it was known that Haji Village was near the Demon's Skull, no village was found on the its side.

He could only choose to get close to the demon skull, hoping to meet other people there and get some food.

The demon's skull was bigger than Haizel had imagined, so even if Haizel could see it, he didn't get much closer after walking for a long time.

This is the so-called race to death. Anyway, along the way, Haizel's physical strength was running low.

After all, Haizel's body was only ten years old. Even though he was a dragon slayer with a stronger physique than ordinary people, he still couldn't bear it.

Choosing a tree, Haizel leaned against it and lamented his misfortune. In his daze, Haizel just wanted to sleep.

Suddenly, a sweet smell came. Haizel sniffed and opened his eyes suddenly, then grabbed the thing that was handed to him and stuffed it into his mouth.

It was something similar to a sweet potato, and of course its taste was far inferior to the improved variety that Haizel had eaten in his previous life. It was not only dry but also quite choking due to the large amount of fiber it contained.

But for Haizel, who was extremely hungry, this was already a rare delicacy.

While devouring his food, Haizel looked up at the benefactor who saved his life.

The man in front of him was short. He should be about the same age as Haizel, but he was half a head shorter than Haizel. 

He was wearing coarse clothes, a headband on his head, short gray hair, and a big smile on his face.

"Your stomach keeps ringing, you must be hungry!"

Haizel instantly recognized who this person was! Asta, the first protagonist in this world. A passionate young man who is known for his hard work.

In this world where magic is paramount, there is no magic in him. But even so, he never gave up his dream of becoming the Wizard King. He was a young man who interpreted perseverance and persistence to the end.

He once said that not giving up is his magic! Therefore, he is also a character that Haizel once loved very much.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, although he was far from full, Haizel finally regained some strength.

Haizel jumped up and said, "That's really helpful! My name is Haizel, Haizel Ryusei. Nice to meet you!"

Asta was also full of energy and said: "I am Asta who lives in Hage Village! Please take care of me!"

Haizel couldn't help but sigh that he was indeed the protagonist, with such a loud voice at such a young age.

Asta said: "Haizel, where are you from? How come I haven't seen you before?"

Haizel replied: "I come from a far away place! This is my first time here."

Stars appeared in Asta's eyes: "Haizel, you are traveling alone at such a young age! How amazing!"

Asta thought that Haizel was traveling alone, and Haizel had no explanation. Travelers are always easier to accept than travelers.

So Haizel said: "It's okay, but I plan to live here next time, so please take good care of me in the future!"
