The Prologue

It all started on that fateful day, it was my birthday I had just got off work to meet my sister to celebrate the day I was born.

It seemed like she found out my hobbies, I'm a big JRPG fan not many know about that. I mean how would they I'm a fucking professional bodyguard the bulky , bold and intimidating kind. Indulging my past time out in the open was never an option to begin with I'd end up scaring the whole community had I bit the bullet and attended an offline meetup. Anywhos my sister being the angel whom I love dearly decided to gift me a game looking at the cover I'd suspected something to be off, 1st there were 2 girls in the cover and a dozen dudes a red flag the reddest of all are how those dudes surrounded a brown haired girl. Happy I got something for my birthday I rushed over to my house across the street and what a mistake it was I didn't look at where I was going before getting crushed under someones car.

I'm left paralyzed, my lower half is as good as dead. What purpose is there for me to live when I'm out of work and alone. I might as well move back in with my parents. Lets just boot the game my sister gave me.

Playing this game as annoying as it was provided just the escapism I needed, while the heroine isn't the type of person I can relate to, the villianess however is relatable somewhat she lost her love to this newcomer just like I'd lost my limbs to that asshole haha thats a skewed perception on my part her world came crashing down just like my own. If only I could help only help her.

Welp my sister unknowingly bought an Otome game, it wasn't like me to bite the hand that gifts so I ended up accepting the gift pretended to like it even hahaha, I've somehow reincarnated into the world of Magical Princess in here I'm not my paralyzed self I'm....

"Eric, can you comb my hair." A girl with blonde locks

"It would be my pleasure Mistress Aida."

"Hehe, thanks I love you!!."

"Shouldn't those words be reserved for your fiancè."

"I won't lie to my heart besides I owe you my life. No matter who father sets me up with naught one shall take your place."

"I-I wish you'd be more subtle about this mistress."

"How else would I get to see you flustered?."

In this world known as Terria I'm called Eric a butler and a childhood friend of my mistress Aida, as a commoner I do not possess surnames, besides the surname stuff the world is loosely based on fantasy mixed with sci-fi elements you got your typical airships,swords, demi-humans, magic and ofcourse the clichè academy where the rich enrolls specifically magic academy being of common birth ofcourse I lack the magical aptitude to cast spells which I supplemented with my superb swordsmanship I dare say I'm one of Lumere's top swordsmen if not the best of them all at the young age of 16.

"You're about to make your school debut mistress, clinging onto me will impact you negatively please keep that in mind."

"If any of those nobles complain I give you the right to set them straight."

"ahaha, as you wish mistress."

-3 years ago-

"What , where am I ? "

"ERIC GET YER ASS DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT."

"Eric?, is he calling for me?

"I said get down ere now."

"For some reason I can't disobey that voice."

"Yer late for our morning practice brat, if ye don't take it seriously I'd have to increase your training regimen stop increasing my workload boy."

"Y-yes father."

"Father?, I'm yer damn master!!!, did I hit that head o' yours bad or what."

Master or rather Master Theodore as he calls himself hands me a sword a really heavy one at that.

"Uh, I meant master what are we doing today?."

"We're sparring ofcourse I'm not letting ya go until you land a hit or two." Says Master

The way he looked at me with his eyes, there's no doubt he intends to kill if I don't fight like my life depended on it I'd most definitely end up getting sliced by him.

"Yes Master Theodore!!."

Without further ado the battle begins, as if possessed my body moves on its own delivering an upward arc to my dismay that wasn't enough master simply moved to the left and countered with his own i block his strike with the broad section of my sword and get to a safe distance, master doesn't take well to my retreat and pursues me.

" is this all you got boy." I tensed up at masters imposing figure if i mess this up i could end up dead

"No, I'm only getting started old man." Call it adrenaline or whatever , I'm just glad to be moving on my own two feet again and I'm goin to live the 2nd life to the fullest beating this old coot will have to be the first step.

In this game of cat and mouse I blocked, parried and dodged incoming attacks this continued on for a while. Having had enough I considered my option being older his reach is beyond what I can handle as a child. I have no other option but to bite. I charge at Master with all the speed I can muster my body glew up and accelerated the world turned into a blur relying on muscle memory I struck at Master with all the power i can muster, Theodore stood with a smirk on his face took up a stance and met my strike with his own it took just an instant for me to fall on my knees but i did it a i have a piece of masters clothing on my sword tip.

" You did good boy."

"Gaaaah!!!!, i was close."

"In 10 years perhaps boy, in 10 years." Said Master whimsically

"Don't go senile on me by then."

"Hahaha you're free to go now and remember to swing that sword next time we're goin for a 2 rounder." Said Master his grin widened

"You've got to be shitting me!!."

It was 3 years ago, that I (Eric) an orphan that was rescued by Master Theodore. He found me all flea ridden , all alone in a cold alleyway hugging my knees. Bits and pieces of Eric's memories came back to me as my consciousness assimilates into his. That boy had suffered living with that drill sergeant of an old man, needless to say thanks to his insistence on training my host's body moves like a seasoned veteran.

"Oi? Boy can you hear me."

"Huh?, who are you?."

"You don't need to know me, I want to know why's a little whimper snapper like you in a doin in a shoddy alleyway like this where are your parents boy?."

"I don't have parents or a home. They're dead t-the bad guys killed them."

"Bandits.."

"who are those?"

"*sigh* bad people, they are truly bad."

"I don't get it, why do they have to be bad."

"I don't know the answer to that, i guess this is the way life goes its eat or get eaten out there, and boy this is where I ask you..."

"What are you going to do now boy, will you stay here and wait to get eaten or will you follow me. I can make you strong enough to fight and protect."

"I will eat!!."

"Good boy, from this day you'll become my student I'll teach yer little behind the ins and outs of combat."

"Will i become strong."

"Definitely."

The grueling training started the moment we acquainted , he wasted no time in drilling my body on the basics of combat. I(Eric) felt elation as I spent the hellish summers and cold winters were spent out in the fields soaking in everything the old man had to impart. The years have passed since, and my memories cojoined with Eric's who's who I won't know but what I do know is that I'm savoring this 2nd chance the time I've lost wheelchaired short as it was i'd never miss it.

-outskirts of Lumere-

"I'm goin to show him who's boss for sure."

I'm taking things too well even though I've reincarnated or transmigrated into this world's human, now that I think about it, isn't Lumere a region in Magical Princess? And who the hell is Eric, oh no I think I've reincarnated as a mob andd the lord who reigns over this region other than Duke Lumere which would mean that she's also.....

"HEEEEELP!!!."

"Huh, that voice it came from nearby..."

-an hour ago-

"Albert, are we there yet I'm tired of being in the cabin!!!."

A blonde girl stretched out her hands and yelling at an elderly butler.

"Your grace, we almost reached Lumere. "

" i don't get why I have to visit Finley of all people, does father not know I hate her."

"Your grace visiting blood relative is naught a custom to frown upon."

"I didn't want to visit my father put me up to this, aren't nobles privy to consent."

"Such formalities are inline with your duty please understand my lady."

"But it was a long trip and I hate being in cabin."

"I'm well aware of that , you'll get out there soon." Said the butler adjusting his glasses

"Father will have to sit through my complaints once i return hehehe."

"Your highness , i'm sorry to say that the Duke is out for the duration of the month he's been called to the palace."

"Then I'm venting my frustration on you." Said the girl pouting in disapproval

"Have mercy on me h-haha." Said the butler backing into a corner

"She's here boys , ya know the deal kill the guards and secure the lady."

*boooom*

"We're under attack prepare to coun-."

A spear lunged at the captain of guards as he attempted to relay orders he'd had no time to react let alone fight back for that lance belonged to an ally.

30 armed bandits emerged from the bushes joining the fray alongside the traitorous guards made quick work , the remaining guards engaged in desperate melee to secure their lady's safety.

"This way my lady!!!." The butler along with a guard tugged the panicked girl trugging across a forest off the roads , 2 bandits following their heel. The branches cut and tattered her fine frilled dress the girl kept crying heavily breathing asking 'whys' and 'whats' as her butler guides her deep into the forest.

"Its a dead end !!!." Said the guard as they were confronted by a cliff

Footsteps closed in as the guard warns, the bandits have covered the distance.

"Looks that way, princess stay behind me." Said the Buttler calmly acessing the situation

"Hehehe, look who we have here." The first to speak was a scrawny looking young man his unkempt hair reaching shoulder length and his rags smelled his body odour.

"We got you now ya lil royal shit." Said a bulky statured man in full leather armor

"You've trangressed upon the Duke's territory and posed harm to his daughter. I will have your heads for this!!." Said the guard taking a stance

The scrawny thug rushed an attack only to receive a parry and a followup counter attack, the captain took onto attack unrelentingly pushing the scrawny thug off.

"Tch, here do they find men like you??!!." The scrawny thug clicked his tongue at the nuisance infront of him

"Oi, don't just stand like a fool fight back ya dreg."

The scrawny thug took to defend the fight went awry against what he thought would be an easy win, that he couldn't keep up with the momentum is showing, the thug sweat profusely his grip getting weaker from the guard's heavy strikes.

And it took just a momentary lapse for him to get almost die.

His sword slipped out of his hand , he watched as the knight raised his sword for a swing.

"Die!!, bandit!!."

He closed his eyes and waited for his eminent demise or so he thought.

"Aaaaaaah!!!." A girl yelled in horor

He opened his eyes in confusion and he saw.

"Aaagh!!!, w-why."

The captain of the guard stabbed from the back , and a butler pressing a sword further into his solar plexus.

"Ahahahaha, you took your sweet time with that act o' yours."

"Even the most elaborate of plans require caution, i had to act well in accordance of my position as a butler. Wouldn't you say?." Said Albert adjusting his opticals

"A-Albert damn you!!." was the last words the guard had uttered before collapsing to his death

"....." the noble lady looked on petrified her legs shaking uncontrollably as the butler and the bandits approached her.

"Whats wrong lil miss? , theres none of that fiery noble disposition i keep hearin of."

"Oi stop toying with the hostage, we have to secure her."

"Now onto the little Ms. Aida , will you come with us willingly or do I have to force you to?

"A-ah.. help!!!"

"Help me!!!."

"Help!!! Me please!!!."

Aida looked on pleading, wishing for a savior alas she was in the secluded part of the forest, Albert moved onto holding her arm snickered as she did her best to resist her grasp the difference of strength took no time for him to adjust and for her to tire.

"Ahahaha, look at her boss that butler terrified the lil lass."

"Hahahaha, this i say is funny. Lass better give up no one's coming to save..."

It was in an instant a flash of light followed by a severe head the boss bandit's drew its last breath shocked.

"Uuuugh waaaa!!!." The girl wailed what happened broke her beyond what a child can tolerate.

"B-boss, w-who did this to him." The bandit looked frantically bushes surrounding his environment.

"What's going on!!, show yourself!!." Said Albert agitated

"Hahaha, I guess this is where I show myself."

I dashed off a tree branch showing myself, aura and all oozing from my body. This is Theodore's greatest feat one that he meticulously taught my younger self the mana furnace. I must have looked like a devil lord with my mana overflowing haha.

"I-impossible a child like you c-can't hold that much mana, such a thing such a thing is impossible."

"...." this girl looking at my eyes pleadingly had to be...

"Albert , you hit yer head or somethin' thats clearly a kid."

"Yes Albert I'm a kid afterall , who am I to stand against such fearsome foes a naïve boy such as myself will die skewed by your blades."

"Hahaha, see now this is a sportsman i'll make it quick for you."

"No don't!!!."

The bandit confidently strided toward me swinging a short sword his movement speed is that of a snail and his technique lacks the finesse. I wanted him to give it his all but this

Didn't cut at all.

With disinterest i cut off his head , such casual movement of my mana induced body might seem like a flash to the untrained eye the bandits expression froze as his head flew above mine, the look of fear.

"Ugggh!!!."

I forgot the princess was here and went overboard, she might never recover i might have fueled her PTSD now. Oh crap, shes crying but I have no time that man Albert he seems cowardly at first glance though he looks weak he holds mana and thus can use magic.

"Stay away , you demon child!!! glacial shards!!."

Albert commands a blue magic circle prompting a wave of ice cavities sharp as a blade to shoot in my direction. I cut 3 in an instant and run past two however the numbers keep increasing , I've hit the mark. Albert is no ordinary swordsman hes a magician first and faremost.

"Hahahaa, thats right dance keep dancing unless you want one glacier to your heart."

I can't keep this up my mana is drying up, my furnace lacks the juice. I'm no match for an adult mana capacity.

"What makes you so sure of tha.."

I tripped over a rock landing right on my butt.

"Be careful!!."

"Die!!."

"I don't need you to tell me your highness."

I rolled a continues discharge like a log, I kept this up as three of a dozen icicles thrust onto the ground.

"Agghh!!."

Oh i got pinned a glacier had me by the right sleeve. Hahaha this mage a mob , pinned me i'm not the main character to that end I must do something now or i might kick the bucket at 12.

"This is the end i'll put you six feet under!!."

"Nooo, Albert please hes just a boy. You want me right, I won't fight back so please don't hurt him."

"Your highness, you know that I can't this boy is a danger besides he killed my crew and I assume that hes also killed the diversion team, did you now boy?."

"Oh yes , it was a massacre i suggest you avoid heading south."

"This makes us even then, your head will be mine, aaah!!."

Aida taking advantage of the situation bit his hand, and dashed to put a distance between her and Albert.

"Good job Aida, now run back to the main road!!."

She looks at me like I've said something weird

"No I can't let a peasant die here for me."

"Who said I came here to die for your sake you stuck up noble!!, get out of here."

"Oi boy, don't rouse her now. Look at her highness shes shaking, truthfully I'm glad that you're as honest as ever. You're terrified your highness aren't you. There's no escape from me defy me and I'll have to act, give up peacefully so we can go back to our previous relationship."

"I won't leave him!!, and I-I'm not letting you take me."

"i've warned your highness of the consequences, now deal with it."

Multiple blue magic circles took shape ice shards protruding from each circle, Aida looked to be shaken at first however she let go of her fear creating her own red circles this must be a...

"Glacial shards!!."

"Fire wall!!!"

"You idiot!!, a child like you won't last long against an adult's mana!." That princess will get herself will get herself killed

"I-I don't need a peasant warning me, I'm well aware."

"Listen to this boy girl!." The gentleman facade had long worn off on Albert hes set to hurt her. Ignoring him i talk back to Aida

"Then why would you get yourself killed for a peasant."

"I'm returning the favor!."

Is she serious? , she's supposed to be this stuck up elitist bitch whats up with the sudden change in attitude. To be frank it doesn't help one bit. Shit if the game followed the script it wouldn't be me saving her as pathetic as I looked I thought I could end him before he's appeared and spare her the trauma. That trauma didn't take shape however you perceive it I changed the course of the story, shes breaking down and here Iam doing nothing, just like the days I spent on that wheel chair. where's the knight in shinning armor when you need him?

"One more push is all it took to break your barrier not much of a mage are you girl?."

"Aaaaargh!!!."

She fell down holding back groans , why do you have to act tough at a time like this. I know I shouldn't go beyond physical limitation , morever the after effects could leave me impaired for days for the better or weeks for the worst.

I'm sorry master but...

"I'm getting sick of this!!."

I cast off the invisible locks and grasp a power beyond a normal humans means.

"Huh, where are you!!."

"Show yourself boy!!!."

I had enough, no this isn't some innate power i had. My furnace just hit overdrive borrowing a power that isn't meant for the present me this is all but one of the infinite possibilities and timelines, with that I gained the ultimate yet the most consuming skill Theodre had mastered.

"Infinity.....sword strike!!."

I can see me from every timeline using this technique, picking the strongest possible future I unleash my strike in a flash cutting Albert from the right shoulder to his left hip.

"Aaaaaaaaah!!!."

He lets out a pained wail as his lifeless body collapses onto the ground looking at me with as much hate as he musters.

"Curse you." He says as he passes away

"*bluuurgh*, go to hell." It took me a minute just to retort as I walked over his corpse over to the deshelved noble girl.

"Are you ok your highness?."

"I'm fine, there is nothing for you to worry about."

Prideful as sin she'd always mask her weakness choosing to save face over relying on others. I can't say I dislike it for sure but times like these you just got to let go and accept a helping hand.

"Here let me help you get up." I reach out extending a hand to the girl.

"I didn't catch your name." She says meekly my hand holding hers.

"My name's Eric and you?." I know who she is ofcourse i'm feigning ignorance.

"Aida Von Lumere. You may k-k-kiss my hand."

"Huh?." Here comes the clichè 'ohoho' noble girl act

"Y-you've saved me a noble therefore i grant you permission to kiss my hand , did it not register."

*sigh* why are you getting flustered over this

"Uh, I'm not your subject." Master Theodre would have been obligated to do so as for myself I'm an otherworlder.

"What do you mean , don't you live in Lumere."

"I'm originally from somewhere else. "

"Where do you live."

"In the outskirts of Lumere with Master Theodore."

"Master Theodore!!, you mean the guild top adventurer him!!."

"Yes , I'm his student."

"I suppose it makes sense since you're strong, thats it i've decided."

"?." Aida's having a lightbulb moment

"Become my butler."

"....huh?"

To be continued
