Disclaimer - (Cause fanfiction is tricky ground and I hope not to offend the creator of the original story and get sued)
This is a fanfiction, a work of fiction. It is an unofficial, non-canon alternate story based on TurtleMe's story "The Beginning After The End". Please support the official release. Most of the media - such as the images and video's used in this fanfiction - are from the web. Thus, most of them aren't mine (because I really, really can't draw) unless mentioned. To fit the story, images are also edited by the photo editor. So they aren't mine, just edited. I get much of the text, especially the fight scenes and thought, aside from my oc's, from the original novel, which can be found on Library Novel. Still, support the official release.
Have you ever written something from the back of your head, and then realize oh sh** these were someone else's words. Yeah, that just happened to me, my disclaimer no less. Anyway, like 40% of this disclaimer belongs to KairuSui from quotev
Also if you own a picture or Video that I found online, and you either want your name added, or me to take it down. Please contact me and we can talk it out.
P.s. I also ask that you do not copy my work and publish it onto any other website. If you're gonna use my idea, please ask me (I'll 99.99% say yes unless you're super rude). If I don't contact you within a week, then just assume I'm giving you the all clear and go for it. Just remember to credit me.
I will be writing out scenes even if my Oc isn't in them. As long as she's mentioned, or influencing the characters in some way. This may seem a bit annoying. But that's just how I write. I like to embed my characters into the story line.

{Arthur P.O.V.}
When I awaken after passing out again after phasing, I see Morgana sitting next me, reading my notes. "Arthur's Notes Of This World?" The chuckled, "You really need to come up with a better little."
I groaned, rolling over and burning my face into my pillow. "Cut me some slack. I had other things to worry about."
Morgan shrugs, "Though this is pretty good. Your map could be better drawn. But your explanation is straight to the point." She then begins reading the notes out loud. "The continent of Dicathen is split into 4 regions. Kingdom of Sapin (Say-pin) - Reign mostly comprised of humans. Kingdom of Elenoir (Ellen-N'waar) - Reign comprised of Elves. Kingdom of Darv - Reign comprised of Dwarves. And then there are the Beast Glades. An expansive territory comprising if mana beasts of all levels."
I pushed myself up, and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, pulling her close. She moved the book so it was sitting between us.
On the. Bottom of the page, in a much darker black then the one I had used, I could see a note reading, 'Much of the East Glades remain uncharted due to the danger of the exploring deeper regions.'Morgana turned the page to the section of Conjurers and Agumenters. "Your drawing still hasn't changed." She laughed.
I buried my head into her hair, "Cut me some slack. I was drawing with chubby baby hands." I mumbled.
Morgana raised an eyebrow, "Oh, and what was your excuse in our last life?"
"But at least your explanation is good. Mages are more adept in drawing mana from their environment. They then condense it and purify it in their mana core. Using this purified mana core in conjunction with their environmental mana is what allows them to cast spells that have a predetermined effect on the surrounding environment or their target. This means that they can use long distance spells, have a faster observation of ambient mana, which allows them not to be as reliant on their own mana core."
"Yeah. But they're slow in distributing mana throughout their body." I point out. "Spell also often take longer to cast and often leaves caster in a vulnerable state."
Morgana nods, "On the other agumenters are mages more adept at evenly distributing their own mana in order to strengthen their body. While augmented still rely on strengthening their core by condensing and purifying ambient mana, they do so during medication, and not during battle. Which means we have a strengths physique, less consumption of mana and a body that is less vulnerable in and out of battle. But a downside is that we have a finite amount of mana to dispense during battle."
"Expect for me." I brag. "I learned Mana Rotation from Slyvia. I'm not sure I can, but I'll have to try and teach you." I told her, getting serious.
"What Mana Rotation?" she asked cuoriouse.
"It's the ability to be able to meditate and absorb mana even while moving or in combat. When I was teaching Lilia and my sister, I noticed that you were almost attracting them to you, subconsciously. So it shouldn't be that hard for you to learn."
She nodded, and finished reading the page out loud again, before she flipped it. "Most attacks are short in range since the farther you have to project mana, the more mana it costs."
"There are 6 stages." I begin, "Black, red, orange, yellow, silver and white. Each Color stage is divided into dark, solid, and light stages. This is listed in order of weakest-to-strongest."
Morgana brings out a pen, "But you forgot. White isn't divided into three stages, neither is black. Which is actually none." After she adds the little note, she quickly reads the next part about affinities and hums in approval, "Good job. It's true that the element(s) that a mage is naturally predisposed to meaning, may be able to learn spells or techniques from other elements, but not nearly as well. That's something a lot of mages overlook."
As she flips the page, I blush. "Please don't!" I beg.
She hums, "Fine. But because you did a good job in the affinities. I see you listed the race and the elements they can use."
I nodded, "Humans can use wind and can create sound from it. They can also use and fire and as a result lighting, earth as well as gravity and water to create ice. Well Elves can't use Earth or water to create gravity and ice, nor can they use fire. But they can use Earth and water to create plants.
She nodded, "With Dwarves," she says, filling in the title that I forgot, "Can use Earth to great metal and fire and earth to create magma. But that's pretty much it. They can't even use fire to create lighting." She turns the page to the section about deviants.
"There are many different kinds of deviants. Elemental deviants are mages that have surpassed the level of manipulating the basic elements. Well emitters are deviants that have the ability to heal by using what magic theorists here call "light" magic. Like your mother."
"Diviners are well, there are tons. It seems like the spectrum of abilities from his type of deviant is quite wide. Elder Rinka was capable of seeing both past and future while also projecting my voice to my parents from thousands of miles away... can't figure out what more she's capable of." But I pause as a thought strikes me, "Morgana. Do you still get hunches?" Her hunches in the past, used to help us win wars. Both saving and taking lives.
She nods, "I'm not sure. But I may be a diviner. It's certainly a possibility. But I feel like my ability would more likely be uncategorized deviant. My ability isn't really categorised using conventional elements."
I nod, flipping the page. As soon as she sees it, the blond begins laughing. "Really? I can't tell if it's a bat or a dog? Maybe it's a cross and a picture of Sylvie's 'mother' as you told the director?" Morgana teased.
I quickly begin reading my explanation of the beast will, "A host of abilities basically transplanted onto the recover by a powerful mana beast. It allows the recover to borrow the beast's abilities upon assimilation."
"Like yours with Sylvia." Morgana points out, I nod as she begins reading the next part. "There are two beast rammer classifications. The first is forged. Beast's mana core is extracted after the beast is killed. Probability of gaining insight and advancement into the phase is more difficult. Then there's the legacy. Where the beast willingly imparts its mana core to the Tamer. It's harder to interstate the beast's mana core, but if done successfully allows for greater insight into the beast's abilities."
She then flips the page and begins coowing. "Aww this is so sweet!" She says, as she takes in all the pictures he's collected. There was one of Arthur and Sylvie fighting over a piece of meat. Both holding on and unwilling to let go. He had titled it 'Survival of the fittest.' The next was Ele holding onto a pouting Slyvie which was kindly called 'Sylvie's punishment for stealing all the meat.' Another was it Sylvie jumping onto his mother's head which he had called 'Mom's still not completely used to Sylvie.' The was a picture of a sleeping Ele, holding on to a sleeping Sylvie. She flipped the page one last time, to see a picture of her, covering the entire page. It has two pictures of her, each cover about half of the page. The first was from their shopping trip. She was sitting at a table that she remembered was in the jeweler's shop. In front of her was a gold watch that she remembered getting for her father. Underneath it, was a picture of her dressed up as something out of wonderland. It was the theme for her seventh birthday party, making her wonder how Arthur had gotten the picture.
Seeing the confused look on her face, I answered the question she didn't even need to ask, "I asked your mother for it. Told her I was going to use it to make something for your birthday. She must have forgotten about it, because she hasn't asked about it since.
"I'd be more concerned about my mother handing out photos of me, if I wasn't still surprised with how adorable this is~"
I smile as I wrap my arms tighter around her body, "I missed this." I mumbled into her hair.
"I know." She sighs, snuggling in closer.

The rest of the week was spent in a similar fashion.
I spent a few days out of the week sparring with Morgana and on occasions my Father, but I could tell he was afraid of hurting me, always holding back even when it was unnecessary.
Besides my training, I spent a couple of hours everyday watching over my sister and Lilia while they continued their journey to form their cores.
It was a strenuous process and I could see my sister being a bit more impatient with the training but I did my best to help her through it by making games out of it.
During this time, I got to talk to my mother about her abilities as an Emitter. I asked how she was able to learn it and train it when there were so few Emitters and she smiled at me mysteriously, saying how a woman needed to have a few secrets of her own.
I guess I would have to ask her again when she was feeling less secretive.
Nights were usually spent with me and my wife ending up in one room.
Sylvie either in between us or by our feet.
At this point people had stopped reacting to us seeing us in bed together.
Two weeks before my birthday and the start of me and Morgana's career as an Adventurers, I was startled by loud, obnoxious knocks on the front door. Opening the door, the faces of the all too familiar group made my lips curl up.

I figured I'd use the notes as a way to clarify their abilities and things. Because honestly, even I'm still a little confused.
