A Ben 10 fan fiction following the author's life if he lived in one of the Ben 10 worlds and got the Omnitrix somehow, he would be at least slightly smarter then Ben...okay maybe not who knows, he will make this up as he goes on for now, but it will probably have legit plots and stuff as well.

A man reincarnates into his younger self in a new universe of Harry Potter, the year is 1987 and he is 10 years old. An obvious fan of science fiction and fantasy books/shows. What will happen? What will change? Multicrossover. SI/HG/FD minimum. SI will obviously be smarter than me as I believe you need a near perfect memory and high IQ to use/learn magic especially with a wand. Will be magically powerful but without the automatic knowledge of how to use it. Will have knowledge of the hp universe obviously.

The next day was a holiday. But the most anticipated day. The day I would be receiving scholarship. I wore a simple hoody. The venue was international book fair in Shilling. I went along with my dad. Despite Nikki's efforts of forcing to go there mom held her back. She was stuck onto my feet until I shooed her and promised to bring a chocolate bar. 

With great difficulty she agreed. Her exam would start from 10 th February. And today was already 30th January. 

After a lot of effort I finally reached the place. We went earlier than expected. Almost 2 hours before. 
I wished to come with Sky. He loves to read books.In every stall I see the books I get reminded of his love for reading books. Even one book which he had read and was discussing last week I found that. But my luck! Dad refused to buy me that. It was a science fiction novel yet he refused. Instead he was nagging me to buy some computer books or college reference books. 

My Dear Mind was already afloat. And hearing that word computer last day's incident flashed in mind. I blushed a bit. Then got back reading some books. There were food stalls too. And many beautiful books of various writers all across the globe. I even found some mangas but didn't dare to even ask to buy one. 

Manga readers very clearly know why! 
Finally the event started. The Vice Chancellor of our university arrived. Although a bit old but he is still handsome. Really looks like an intellect. 
50 students including me got scholarship from our state. Such an honour it was! 

To get the trophy and the certificate and the cheque. To be photographed among several people and to get the trophy is really exhilarating. Both Dad and mom were proud of me. Nikki was celebrating with chocolates-The one I had promised to buy. 
Poor me. 

Every thing went well. I uploaded my victory and happiness on weibo. Many others congratulated. 
Everything was fine more or less perfect until the incident which shook my life and even now!!!

Dark

There was darkness all around me. No matter how far I looked there was nothing but darkness.

Then I began to think. 

Where am I? What is this place? Last I remember I was .... I don't remember anything...

Who am I? I could piece together that I was a student. I remember having a family, friends and hobbies but not who or what they were. I remember how I look like. 21 years old, lean athletic build, black hair, green eyes and about 186 cm. Though not handsome I was at least easy on the eyes. I was extremely pale. So pale that I could be mistaken for a vampire.

For some reason I remembered all the movies and novels I ever saw.

It was weird and was driving me crazy.
(A/N : The MC has no knowledge of Mangas or Japanese culture in general or even comic books, he only knows of movies and a few novels so only occasionally will he have any meta knowledge about the plot)

It was then I saw something akin to a screen in front of me. For some odd reason I could understand what was written on it even though it wasn't in any language I knew of.

[Welcome]

[Would you like to go on a journey beyond your imagination? Y/N]

Even though it was vague and extremely dubious the darkness was driving me crazy. After thinking about it I chose 'Y' . 

[Thank you for taking part in our experiment!.]

[Congratulations! You are now a Journeyman. You would be traveling to different realms carrying out missions that can help you grow into something more. Each world you travel to will have one mission for you to complete. The reward for completing the mission can either be an ability acquired in that world ( Derivatives like spells for magic manipulation ability don't count, so if you choose to take light magic ability for example the related spells would naturally come with it also martial arts do not count as abilities but skills, the skills will remain with you throughout your journey once you learn them) or a slot for a person of the realm you are visiting to become your companion in your journey (you can also keep the slot for later use in a different world but then you cannot take the ability you acquired from that particular world).]

[To star your journey you are given 3 boons that will accompany you throughout your travels. The boons given are purely based on luck. Would you like to see them? Y/N]

It took me some time to get over my shock. Apparently I am being isekied not to mention the fact that I have given permission to be part of an experiment whose goal I do not know. It's not like I want to go with the flow but... I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE. Angry as I may be about my situation, I know this is the only way to escape the darkness before I am driven to insanity. Firming my resolve I chose 'Y'  .

[Congratulations! You have been given the following boons :

1. Status Screen - This is a command that brings up a window that shows you numerical data about yourself(name, job, Health Points (HP), Mana Points (MP), attributes, skills, abilities).

2. Invictus : Your will is absolute, boundless, and unbreakable. Factors such as distress, suffering, and difficulty mean nothing to you. You are capable of undergoing any disaster without batting an eye, ignoring any amount of pain, remaining mentally untouched by even the most tragic events, and even the most fearsome odds will not give you pause. Abilities that would effect your mind or control you are useless, you shrugging these off as nothing more than irritants. You never break, never bow, and even come a thousand apocalypses you will stand as tall and resolute as ever. Being torn in half, locked into a timeloop of endless agony for thousands of years, or facing the most hopeless of odds are nothing to you.

3. All Fiction : Allows you to erase the existence of things; this includes things with or without form, injuries, your own "aura" and other abilities.
To bring back something from nothingness you have to actively and willingly concentrate on the thing you are trying to bring back.

Please prepare to receive the boons. (Warning: The process will be painful, please bear with it).]

(A/N: I tweaked All Fiction a bit by adding the power to bring things back from nothingness for the story. Please do note that though powerful it will not make him OP. Strong from the start sure but not OP because in the worlds that he will visit, people will have counter measures to deal with him.)

I was instantly hit with enormous pain. Using all my wits to bear the honestly excruciating pain I somehow manage pull through. As I regained my bearings, my mind was flooded with information about my boons as well as how to use them.

The first ability was quite helpful as it made me understand my strengths so I could plan accordingly. My second ability made me a bit nervous, I didn't want to become an emotionless robot. After understanding it thoroughly it seems it made me more like Batman on steroids, I guess I could live with that. And finally my third ability, frankly that just seems like some OP bullshit. But I know there must beings out there that can find a way around it if such an ability can be given to others so freely. 

It seems that I would at least have the power to protect myself wherever I end up.

To give it a test run I mentally said 'Status'.

A simple holographic screen appears in front of me.

[

Status:

Name: Nameless

Job: Journeyman

HP: 100% (1% regeneration every 30 mins)

MP: 100% (1% regeneration every 30 mins)

Str: 10

Vit: 10

Agi: 10

Int: 10

Wis: 10

End: 10

Note ( Average attributes for a human is 2, the additional points are benefits for you as a Journeyman.)

Skills: None.

Abilities: Status Screen, Invictus, All Fiction.

]


Nameless huh.

Since it is the beginning of my new life and this journey then my new name will be Inizio.

Again checking my status, and sure enough it was changed into my new name.

[

Status:

Name: Inizio

Job: Journeyman

HP: 100% (1% regeneration every 30 mins)

MP: 100% (1% regeneration every 30 mins)

Str: 10

Vit: 10

Agi: 10

Int: 10

Wis: 10

End: 10

Skills: None.

Abilities: Status Screen, Invictus, All Fiction.

]

Now what is this job thing? Concentrating on the job tab I get an explanation.

[Job: It signifies the type of build you have for your abilities.( Like if someone who has Monk as a job will have a build with high strength and vitality attributes).]

[Journeyman: This job signifies your being able to travel through the worlds. It also gives you limitless growth. As long as you overcome your limits you can increase your attributes without any problems.]

I can grow stronger but only by overcoming my limits. I just know there is a catch to that but I can only wait to find out what it is.

As I was lost in thought another screen showed up.

[Attention! The first world transfer is starting. After the transfer is complete you would be given your first world mission. Please do your best to complete your mission. Do note that only after completing the mission can you move on to the next world.]

[We wish you the best of luck!]

Well even though it was practically being forced upon me I was kinda looking forward to escaping the darkness and being this "Journeyman". Let's hope during this experiment or whatever this is, I can dig out some more answers.

[Initiating world transfer.]

And then everything went white.

Follow the journey of a clueless man as he travels through the worlds we consider fiction as part of an experiment he knows nothing about. Watch as he grows into something he wasn't meant to be.

(I do not own any franchises used in this fanfiction other than the main character and the OCs).

I welcome constructive criticism.

After Quinn had finished unpacking, he was free to do what he wanted for the rest of the day. It was still noon so he had plenty of time to explore the academy on do what he wanted.

Quinn was currently sharing his room with two people and to his surprise, he knew both of them. One of them was Vorden while the other was Peter. There were three single beds in the room each spread out from one another but other than that the room was pretty empty.

Students were expected to spend most of their time studying or practicing their skills. there was no time for pleasure.

"What do you guys want to do then?" Vorden asked.

"I'm still unpacking, you two don't have to wait for me, do what you want," Peter replied.

Peter had opened up a little to the two of them, at first he was completely shy and hardly said a word but slowly Peter seemed to be coming out of his shell especially around Quinn. Peter most likely felt comfortable around Quinn knowing that he was a level 1 ability user like himself.

"I was thinking of heading to the library," Quinn replied, "that will probably be too boring for you."

"Boring, I can make anything fun, besides I haven't read a book in…" Vorden paused for a while. "I can't even remember the last time I read a book."

The three of them laughed and then Vorden and Quinn decided to head to the library together. Finally, they had arrived and the first floor was already busy with students. Quinn noticed that there were multiple round desks spread out where students were sitting and In the middle of the desk was a glowing orb.

"Ahh, you're probably wondering what that Orb thing is in the middle aren't you?" Vorden asked, "It looks like they don't have them at public schools. If you touch the orb, then it allows you to create a space, in that space, only those people who have been invited can be heard. This way people are able to talk and chat as much as they want while not disturbing others."

"Technology sure has come a long way."

Quinn and Vorden then chose a table that had two other people sitting on the other side. Just as Vorden had said, Quinn could see the two talking but couldn't hear a word of what they were saying. The orb seemed to only have a range of the table though. Once you left the table others were able to hear you as normal.

Quinn went looking around the library and picked out as many books as he could about abilities. Most of them describing what different types of abilities the world had. Vorden wasn't too bothered and decided to just select a random fiction book to read.

The two sat at their tables while Quinn started to flick away. After reading several books Quinn had discovered nothing new. He already knew about most of the abilities written in the book but not one of them mentioned an ability like Quinn's.

Vorden had been keeping a close eye on Quinn and noticed the type of books he had been picking out.
"What's with all the books, are you looking for something in particular?"

Quinn thought about it for a while before giving Vorden an answer. Vorden wasn't the brightest person when it came to academics but he was quite knowledgeable about abilities it seemed. He would have to be because of the type of ability he had.

"I was trying to decide what ability to get since I turned down the school's offer."

"Oh right, I forgot about that, I thought you might have been one of those Pure members who hate abilities. Turns out you just didn't want to be a dog to the military." Vorden replied, "Well is there anything specific you're looking for?"

 "Not really, I have no clue. There was one that said something interesting though, have you ever heard of an ability that is weaker in sunlight."

Vorden suddenly started to laugh out loud.
"What are you crazy, I've never heard of something like that. Abilities are something our bodies learn. Sure some people have limits and can't learn stronger spells or can do less than others but for one to get weaker because of the sun. Sounds like you're a Vampire or something."

Quinn felt a little embarrassed by Vorden's reaction. Of course, Quinn knew this would be the normal reaction when asking something like this but it was true. As long as Quinn was in direct sunlight all of his stats would weaken by half.

Quinn continued to look around the library to see if there was anything else he could find. He had finally gone through every single one of the ability books he could find but there was nothing. Quinn then looked up at the floor above where there were some second-year students.

"Maybe there's something up there but I can't imagine what the academy would do to me for breaking the rules." Quinn thought.

As Quinn continued to walk around the library, he had eventually ventured into the fiction section and his eyes were drawn to something.

A specific title of a book named "The Truth about Vampires."

Quinn took out the book and gave it a quick look. Vampires were things of fairy tales, myths even. Even when people started to come out with powers, there was not one person who came out claiming to be a vampire.

Quinn couldn't help himself but start to read the book. It was a long shot but maybe he would find something he could relate to.

After reading and skimming through the book, Quinn found most of it was useless. A lot of the things that Vampires did, didn't relate to him at all. Vampires were required to eat human blood. Some could transform themselves into bats and cast illusions. While others were incredibly skilled with the sword and hypnosis but Quinn had none of these things.

The only thing he could relate to in the book was being weaker in the sun. Eventually, Quinn decided to close the book and call it a day. It didn't seem like he was going to find anything from the first floor of the library.

As soon as Quinn closed the book though. A familiar sound was heard.

*Ding

<You gained more knowledge about the system>
<10 exp received>
<15/100 Exp >

"It couldn't be, could it?"

The human Race is at war with the Vicious Dalki and when they needed help more than ever, THEY started to come forward. 

Humans who had hidden in the shadows for hundreds of years, people with abilities. 

Some chose to share their knowledge to the rest of the world in hopes of winning the war, while others kept their abilities to themselves.

Quinn had lost everything to the war, his home, his family and the only thing he had inherited was a crummy old book that he couldn’t even open. 

But when the book had finally opened, Quinn was granted a system and his whole life was turned around. 

He completed quest after quest and became more powerful, until one day the system gave him a quest he wasn’t sure he could complete. 

"It is time to feed!"
"You must drink human blood within 24 hours"
"Your HP will continue to decrease until the task has been completed"

'Disgusting... Inhuman...Atrocity....'

Wrapped in around 5 blankets, a beautiful human potato stared at the medicine filled bowl in front of her as if she was facing her worst enemy.  Her eyebrows were clenched in concentration as she thought of a million ways to get rid of the black liquid.

If she tried it would officially be attempt number 10.  

It had been 3 days since Meng collapsed because of her injuries sustained from the empress. The majority of the time she spent laying down, not that it was needed. Master Rong had used spiritual energy to heal her in hours.

However, regardless of how many times she argued this fact it was helpless. Now in the room Rong You had set up, she was stuck with 5 books about cultivation and a snitch. 

Meng directed a harsh glare at Su Lou who was moving items into place. 

The room wasn't a large one and was about the size of two closets. Three pieces of furniture made up the room including the bed, Meng was sitting on. The other two included a night stand and a chair.

It was nothing extravagant, but was still better than her room in her previous life. 

"You aren't done organizing yet?" Meng questioned Su Lou with suspicious eyes. 

Over the last three days it seemed that her 'guard' and Master Rong has become the best of friends.

Not because Su Lou has learned to not want to kill her, but because they both shared the mutual satisfaction in torturing her. Su Lou was given the task to make sure she drunk all of the medicine given to her, which regardless of what they tried was not going to happen. 

"Not yet Princess Ru Gu Meng just a few more things." Su Lou responded innocently.

Meng's glare intensified. Su Lou was clearly only staying here because she wanted to watch over Meng's actions. After all, she has been organizing the same chair for 2 hours...

This betrayal was worthy of death, however sadly she wasn't able to get rid of the traitor with Rong You protecting her.

Sighing to herself, Meng gave up on kicking Su Lou out for the time being. With a resigned look, she picked up one of the books on the night stand and started to flip through it.

It was a basic cultivation book given to her by Rong You to study while she was grounded from moving. 

Basically it was read all of the books or drink the medicine. 3 days were devoted to getting around both, now it seemed it was time she changed her tactics.

Meng's face was filled with distaste as she looked at the book. 

Meng loved to read, however her reading mainly consisted of fiction books. Nothing was interesting about the world around her, therefore why waste time on it?

With forced concentration, Meng processed the words from the book before her eyebrows went up. Her headache from forcing herself to focus went down as she read more of the book. 

Maybe she picked out a wrong book the first time she came to this library... the book she was reading now didn't seem bad at all. 

Navigating her blanket potato body into a more comfortable position, Meng started to sincerely read the book. 

It was about things she could already pull from Defying Moonlight, however it gave a more detailed view of it. It was practically like a break off book from Defying Moonlight. 

The flipping of the pages got faster and faster until the 800 pages book was placed back on the night stand.

Meng Yin, a shut in, dies of a broken heart when the author of a novel kills off her favorite character. She wakes up as a mob character of that very same novel called Ru Gu Meng. 

Realizing that she had transmigrated in the same novel of the character who gave life to her horrible world, she swears to make sure that this time he won’t be the one that dies. Reborn as a princess of a lowly kingdom, Meng has to dig herself up through political turmoil and murderous sect’s to protect the only light she has left. 

Follow Ru Gu Meng into a mystical world of cultivation, demons, and magic. Where she uses her intellect, power, and instinct to carve a way for the person she will always protect. 

No matter the cost, those who harm the one’s she protects will die!

[Femaleprotagonist] [Reincarnation] [Yandere] [AntiHero]

Previously, Nik did not have enough experience to measure the growth of a civilisation. But after experiencing a total of three worlds and three different civilisations, Nik could determine various factors that affect the growth of civilisation.

The world where he was born in, is the most civilised out of the three, although, it only surpasses his current homeworld by a margin, the world of elements is far outstripped when compared to his previous homeworld.

But unlike the world of elements and the previous homeworld, this particular one had grown far and beyond in the department of entertainment. While both the worlds had major wars ongoing, this particular homeworld had no wars taking place on its surface, at least, openly.

Nik still hadn't lived here long enough to properly determine the political implications of various events, but one thing was for sure— he had far surpassed the strongest human that can ever emerge from this world.

His stats couldn't help but agree with him.

[

Name: Nik Faran

Age: 19

Affiliation: Incubus Society (Member)

Bloodline: Carnal Demon

STR: 7

AGL: 10 (7)

VIT: 10 (7)

ENG: 11 (7)

CHM: 10 (7)

LUK: 2

Stat Points— 0

***

3 Elemental Unit=1 System Energy (ENG)

]

The world itself suppressed Nik for he had already surpassed the maximum strength allowed by the world's will. But instead of frustration, Nik only felt happy. 

The limitations meant that he had reached the maximum output of strength an individual in this world is capable of wielding and a part of him sighed in relief when he thought of the various benefits of [Partner-up].

He can finally guarantee the safety of his girls.

Still in his blue t-shirt and black pyjamas that spoke— lazy, Nik walked through the empty streets. Right now, the school had already started and many employees rushed for their jobs, meanwhile, housewives at this time would usually start cleaning their houses and other chores as the shops on street would finally have their shutters pushed up to welcome the daily business.

It was peaceful. Nik thought in silence. Smiling and nodding at various aunties that would feel a little bit stunned after watching him walk past them, Nik continued towards a special location in mind.

The Silverman Gym.

Although, Nik happened to be a sore believer of gender-equality and didn't feel the least bit ashamed if his women supported him, a part of him still wanted to explore this world and actually get a routine.

Outside from their daily schedule of mingling during breakfasts and dinners, everyone, including Kyouko, had their own schedule. Kurumi had her own cram classes while Sayako and would spend her time in the library, actually studying this time around. Mitsuko and Kyouko both had their daily routine of exercising and daily shopping while meeting up with Kaya and hanging out.

Yes, in just a short span of four days, the trio Milfs actually got together every day to practice cooking and whatnot. 

Souko, on the other hand, had her job while from what Nik recalled, Megumi had her own club training.

They all had a life outside of their personal ones that would keep their relationship healthy and Nik also wanted a life outside of his own personal relationships and the mind-numbingly dangerous adventures of the system.

And he could only come up with the Silverman Gym in his mind to consult with.

Of course, he didn't wish to be a trainer. He wanted something simpler. The job of trainers would require him to keep a daily notebook for the intake and the exercises performed and rotate the exercises while introducing special exercise that targeted specific muscles that would not be affected otherwise.

No thanks, he would rather fuck.

As he made his way towards the Silverman Gym, he crossed by a bookstore, making him recall the issue of records that might help him in his future endeavours.

Stopping right in front of the bookstore, Nik thought for a while as he looked at multiple magazines featuring outside the shop to attract the customers when he suddenly had an idea. But he needed to confirm a few things before he could actually go through with his plans.

Opening the door, a melodious jingle spread across the shop as an old man raised his eyebrows when his gaze fell on the youth.

'This dress-up... another one of those?'

The old man sighed internally. While his shop ran due to many 'perverts' that would buy the works of fiction, he couldn't help but lament at the future of the world.

And as the old man expected, the black-haired youth stumbled across a few non-fiction books before he found himself standing in front of the manga section with excitement written on his violet eyes.

'Violet? A foreigner?'

The old man thought silently while Nik couldn't help but control his emotions or he might just end up laughing loudly.

In his hands was a book titled— Naruto. As simple as the name might sound, according to Brian, the multiverse that housed the record where the youth named Naruto resides is quite popular amongst other hosts as a special source of energy can be obtained after travelling to that particular world. 

Thinking for a while, Nik placed the book down. Common sense dictates that he must buy the book before removing the plastic wrapping. But he did not have money.

Still, it was not an issue.

He had decided his career path.

He would become a book salesman and earn a few bucks to read the books he sold.

Looking at the old man, Nik smiled gently, his violet eyes glowing violently as he spoke up.

"Good morning, old man. You look tired...

Want a hand in managing your shop?"

***

"Even Kurumi is absent today..."

Megumi frowned and narrowed her eyes as she gazed at the empty seat that housed the school bella while she suddenly felt a thought emerging within her consciousness.

"Is he back?"

The moment she thought of it, the idea couldn't be suppressed anymore. Anger would immediately flood within her mind when she recalled how bad her past week went. Although she wasn't an academic student, her prowess in Kendo was unquestionable. After all, she was scheduled to become the next club president.

But that... BASTARD! She couldn't focus on her training at all!

Not only did Kurumi refuse to answer anything about him, but she also found out that Nik didn't even tag along with Kurumi to drop her off and pick her up.

If she didn't know better, she would have thought that Nik was simply a criminal who tried to act civilised after having his way with girls. Of course, the fact that Kurumi had already rejected all the advances of the students after Nik's sudden disappearance made Megumi feel that there was a chance that Nik might return.

After the school bell rang, the students got up and she went ahead of Maa-kun, who she casually referred to as his full name— Manabu. Though there was now not a single chance of feeling the same way for Manabu, Megumi still remained friends with him.

After all, it was just a crush, nothing serious.

But the moment she reached the school gates, she found all the male students gathering in the corner with a rather ugly expression while the eyes of the schoolgirls were sparkling like jewels.

Most surprisingly, Rick and Gunta weren't fighting and standing in front of the school gates with a reverent expression.

'Could it be?!'

Megumi thought for a moment before her body moved without listening to her mind, a familiar scent soon touched her nostrils.

'Definitely him!'

Megumi's hand immediately traced her packaged bokken and she practically ran towards the school gates. Her expression best described as malevolent, something, that Rick shivered at the sight of and immediately nudged Gunta to look at her direction, before the former delinquent shivered, too.

As expected, past the group of envious males and mindless bimbos stood a lazy figure. Her jaws clenched as fury took over her sanity.

"Get ready!"

She still shouted to warn her 'enemy', as he looked back with a brief surprise flashing across his eyes before he stood still and let the bokken strike over his head.

"THERE'S SO MANY people out and about town!" Alice gasped, turning her head to follow a little boy that was holding onto a candied apple that had rushed past her.

"Yes," Wyatt beamed, his eyes pressed closed due to his smile, crinkling at the corners. "It's always rather busy in the capital of Gladiolum." 

A day after the ball, Wyatt had suggested bringing Alice around the town square to soak in the sights. He personally had to do a little shopping and thought that it would be a wonderful chance for Alice to grow more familiar with the capital. She had been living with the Ragans for nearly two weeks and yet she had barely even stepped out of the mansion's walls. It was best for young ladies to enjoy their time around town with friends. Being constantly cooped up in the study room with Charlie wasn't exactly an ideal situation in Wyatt's opinion. Of course, not that Alice had ever complained.

Strolling through the cobbled streets, Wyatt pointed out some of his personal favorite shops along the way. They passed by boutiques selling beautiful ball gowns, stores selling sparkling jewels, and even quaint little cafes that wafted out the sugary sweet scent of freshly baked pastries. However, while Alice acted as though she was very interested in those, he could tell that was all it was. An act. She simply smiled and nodded to Wyatt's words, not once asking to step into any of those stores like he had expected. Yet again she had him colored surprised.

Just the thought brought a curving smile onto his lips. The girl that his family had chanced upon was most certainly different from the rest of the girls in the capital. She stood out in such a way that there wasn't any spare place for the others to shine. She was the lone star now, a happy and proud resident of the Ragan household. While still suspicious of her origins, Wyatt couldn't help but admit to himself that he was growing fond of Alice Clemente.

"Are you not interested in any of the shops I pointed out?" He prodded. "Those are all famous names here in the capital."

"Oh!" Alice exclaimed. Wyatt watched with his practiced smile as the girl's eyes widened delightfully, eyelashes fluttering like a pair of butterfly wings under the golden sunlight. Her lips parted just a little in surprise before she quickly gathered back her wits, shaking her head politely. "They are all wonderful shops. I just… I don't have any money to buy all those things. Looking through the store window is more than enough."

For years Wyatt had worn the same smile on his face. It was his perfectly crafted mask made to shield his true emotions from the rest of the nobles. No matter what he felt inside, a smile was always the answer to dealing with those that had to be schemed against. However, every time Alice spoke or made one of her silly little expressions, he found his smiles to turn true as day.

"Let us go into that one, then." Wyatt pointed to a little bookshop down the street, a corner store with a gleaming bronze sign. "There are some things I wish to purchase."

Alice nodded. "Alright," she said.

Although her expression remained as still as possible, Wyatt still caught the slight twitch of her lips. The sparkles in her eyes practically screamed of her excitement. She couldn't fool anyone. Even the blind could tell that she was particularly eager to enter the bookshop. 

The little bell that hung above the door rang when Wyatt entered the shop. Inside, there were no other customers, simply a store clerk that had a book in hand. A pair of round spectacles rested on his crooked nose bridge, his eyes scanning the words at an immense speed before he licked his finger and flipped to the next page. At the call of the bell, the clerk looked up from his book, squinting at the door before rising to his feet. The book was placed pages-down onto the counter, a smile upon his lips.

"Master Wyatt!" The old clerk greeted enthusiastically. "I was wondering when you'll be visiting next. The books you ordered two weeks back are finally here." 

"Greetings," Wyatt replied fairly. "And thank you so much for your help with those. It's nearly impossible to find them anywhere else."

The old man waved, his cheeks reddening just a little. "It's no problem. Let me go get them for you." Shuffling towards the back of the shop, the clerk disappeared behind a dividing curtain.

"Do you come here often?" Alice asked, looking around the small bookstore with great interest. At random, she pulled out one of the books from the shelves, her fingers tracing the title of the book on the cover, feeling the indented words on the hard leather.

'History of Gladiolum. Volume III,' it read. Alice had seen a similar history book in Charlie's study room before. Making a mental note to briefly read through the contents of the book, she slotted the book back to its original position.

"Hmm, I wonder." Tapping a finger to his chin, Wyatt looked deep in thought. "I guess I do visit this store a little more than the average folk. They sell writing supplies as well as books and I run out of the former a little too often. Besides, this store is the only one in the capital that can procure rare and often out-of-print."

Walking a little further into the shop, Alice glanced through the assortment of reading materials offered. They had both fiction and non-fiction books in the store, leaning closer to non-fiction books. Most books were new copies, their covers still brightly colored while others were much older and encased in glass covers. Those books seemed old and tattered but the words were still in dark black ink, most likely having been re-written over so that it wouldn't be lost to time. 

The one that had caught Alice's attention was a purple leather-bound book that was almost as thick as a dictionary. The title of this book was written in bright, glittery gold in thick block letters. A small sign that indicated the price of the old tome was placed beside the book. Alice's eyes widened at the number of zeros, her head reeling back a little in surprise. She still wasn't sure about how the currency worked in Gladiolum but with so many zeros, the book was bound to be expensive no matter the exchange rate.

'The Theory of Magic. Volume I,' the title wrote.

"Are you interested in that one? Ooh, that's a pricey one." Wyatt's voice was right by Alice's ear, causing her to jump a little, her ears tingling from his breath. Stepping away, she held both hands to her chest, staring wide-eyed at Wyatt who looked as amused as ever.

"Just looking," she answered before firing back a question of her own. "How much is that book? I don't really know how the currency works here."

"See that symbol over there?" Wyatt gestured to the symbol behind the number as he spoke. "That's the symbol for our currency, 'fleuron'. That's the larger of the two units that we have in our country's currency. The smaller unit is known as a 'flois'. Ten flois equates to one fleuron. To give you an example of its value, five flois can buy you a piece of stale bread at the end of the day in the capital's cheapest bakery, maybe? Books, on the other hand, are usually five to ten fleurons, if it's a common title that can be easily found."

Alice gulped. Judging by the examples Wyatt provided, the currency here in Gladiolum seemed similar to the system she was used to. A single fleuron held as much value as a dollar back home and a flois would be around ten cents. Her hands were starting to feel clammy as she stared hard at the price tag of The Theory of Magic. 

"And yet this book is…" she trailed off.

"Fifteen thousand fleurons," Wyatt finished the sentence for her chirpily.

Fifteen thousand dollars.

Taking another step back, Alice no longer dared to hover near the expensive article. If anything had happened to it, she wouldn't be able to pay the store back for the damages incurred. She had never seen a book as expensive or even half as pricey. 

"Why is this book so… so…"

"Ridiculously priced?" Wyatt supplied. When Alice nodded numbly, Wyatt chuckled. "This is an ancient tome about magic. There are only five copies of this book that was ever produced. But if you're really interested in this book, there's no need for you to fork out such a hefty amount just to read it. We have a copy of it back in the mansion's library."

Flabbergasted and speechless, Alice blinked dumbly at what Wyatt had so casually revealed. Although she long knew that the Ragan mansion was a sprawling estate with many different needlessly fanciful rooms, she hadn't even thought to think that it might house precious artifacts within its walls. 

In Gladiolum, it seemed as though the gap between its people was wider than the ocean. The rich lived in heaven while the poor couldn't even afford hell.

"Why don't you take a look around the bookshop and see if there's anything that catches your eye?" Wyatt offered. "If we don't already have the book back home, I don't mind making a few extra purchases. It's the least I can do for dragging you out here with me on such a warm afternoon."

Alice's heart skipped a beat. She braved a step closer, momentarily forgetting about the book in the glass display case. Cupping her hands together as if they were in prayer, Alice beamed.

"Really? Any book?"

Wyatt's smile didn't falter. "There's no budget, if that's what you're asking."

Alice wasted no time. Her feet went scurrying across the dark wooden boards of the store, quickly scouring the bookshelves in search of any title that might help her or catch her fancy. Her fingers ran down the spines, quickly pulling out a few covers that had caught her attention, some fiction and some not. She had a feeling that most, if not all, of the non-fiction books were already available in the Ragans' library but there was no harm in bringing the books over for Wyatt to look through. These books will become her survival guide in this foreign world.

As the store clerk returned to the front counter, Wyatt slowly made his way over. However, he was still gazing in Alice's way, watching silently and bemused as the girl darted from shelf to shelf, climbing ladders and bending low in search of more. There were already over seven books in her hands and she only ever added more to the collection.

"My," the old clerk exclaimed. "I've not seen anyone so frantic for a good title since you first came to my humble store years ago. The old ladies at the bakery next block over will go mad once they hear that the young Master Wyatt is no longer single."

The white-haired man chuckled. "She's just a curious little bird my brother picked up a while back."

The old man shrugged, unconvinced, but he didn't say a word more on that topic. With a heavy thump, he placed three thick books onto the counter, the covers in the three primary colors. The titles were all written in gold, large block letters.

"This set was a little trickier to find as compared to your other requests but there you go. Though, Master Wyatt, don't mind this old man prying but are you sure you want to dabble in this subject? There's always a price to pay when you go against the laws of science."

"I can pay whatever price the world throws at me," Wyatt casually remarked. Picking up one of the books carefully with a gloved hand, he examined the old cover, grinning with satisfaction. "Besides, I'm just completing my collection. With these, the set will now be complete. There's no need to worry, sir."

"Oh well," the old clerk sighed, pursing his lips. "If you're sure, youngin. Let me wrap these up for you."

Tottering away, the elderly went to retrieve a few sheets of brown wrapping paper and some strings to bundle up Wyatt's purchases while waiting for Alice. 

Partially leaning on the counter, Wyatt continued to observe Alice. She no longer had the strength to carry the books she had picked out. Instead, she placed most of them on an empty table by one side. The stack of books was almost taller than she was and yet she continued to hunt for more, her eyes practically dripping with avarice.

'How peculiar,' Wyatt thought to himself. 'She is unaffected by fanciful dresses or glittering jewels and yet dusty old books can bring her into a craze. What an odd woman. She is most certainly a woman before her time.'

❝I want you to visit me even if it's only in your dreams.❞ 

Gifted a candle that was said to be able to make wishes come true, Alice Clemente burned it that very night only to find herself in an unknown world the next morning. 

She had wished for a life of adventure away from the city and its routine. With her wish granted, she was whisked away to a world very different from the one she grew up in. 

Thrust into a new life, would Alice learn how to adapt? Or would she fall down the rabbit hole only to never surface again?

"Cevin," my twin sister called out to me and I automatically looked back to see her. I was quite surprised that the book that I was holding almost fell from my hands. 

Both my sister and I work in the library as student assistants. Our father died because of a car crash and our mother on the other hand works as a call center agent. Her salary isn't enough for the three of us that is why my sister and I became student assistants. It's the least we could do for us; for our mother.

"Ma'am told me to tell you to go to the room at the back of the library. She wants you to look for the book titled 'The Last True Cowboy' by Kathleen Eagle," she added and I just nodded at her as my answer. My sister got some books and she went to her desk to fix the cards of the books. I walked swiftly towards the room to find the book I was asked to look for. 

I arrived at the room and turned on the switch of the room but the bulbs didn't light up. I turned on the flashlight of my phone and one by one, I looked at the shelves to see the book ma'am wanted me to get for her.

I saw different kinds of books on the shelves, with different genres made in different timelines. Almost all of the books here are books that aren't frequently used or borrowed. Old books, to be more specific. Fiction, non-fiction, old news articles, et cetera. Most of them are all kept here but the problem is, the books aren't all organized which makes looking for specific books difficult to see.

I also have the interest in reading books. I don't find watching television very interesting because it doesn't get me to use my imagination very well. In every book that I read, I like it when I get to imagine the worlds or the situations being described by the author through his or her character's senses. In this way, I get to make my mind active other than doing school works.

My index finger stopped when I saw the book I was supposed to look for. I pulled the book from the shelf but was a little bit startled when a black book beside it fell on the floor. It was opened when it landed and to my curiosity, I pointed at my phone to see what book it was. 

"Weird," I commented when I saw nothing written, drawn, or printed on its pages. I knelt down to further examine the book but when I came across its book cover, it even had no title. I got lazy returning it on the shelf so I just left the book on the floor. 

I went outside the room and went straight to my sister, Terra, at the main desk and sat beside her.

“Only those with great intentions can see this book and those chosen by the book will make its desired story… 
but you will never return.”
