Beginning

Diablo sighed, the power system in his new world wasn't much different from one of his past ones. Thanks to that, he avoided years of learning.

This wasn't his first reincarnation.

"So the elements in this world are light, dark, water, fire and earth huh? From what I know, light can be used for treating diseases and healing. So why is this fella missing an arm?" He looked at the wolf in front of him.

Diablo had tried regenerating the wolf's paw with light magic, however he ended up erasing the entire arm.

"Maybe this is corruption healing? I heard about it, it eats away at stuff like a parasite instead of healing it" He checked in his mind his unlock of corruption healing.

"But I still need to know how to heal. With it I would have mastered the basics of all 5 elements" It had been a month since Diablo got abandoned, he followed the flow of the trail of energy in his body and discovered magic, from there he kept using it in all the ways he could and found out the four elements, he had managed to master the basics of them in a month.

A terrible rate of growth, but what less would you expect from the past ruler of dimensions?

Diablo had lived through countless lives, amassing centuries worth of knowledge.

Diablo strengthened his body with earth magic, before cutting off all sounds emitted from his body, and finally his spiritual realm. It was a technique he had devised after comprehending the magic in this new world. It used all the elements to cut off one's presence, sounds and anything that can make him discovered.

It was the ultimate stealth technique, called ' The Night's Coat '

He used Night's coat and channeled water magic throughout his body, making him absurdly flexible. Diablo silently walked towards a deer, before conjuring a fire spear, holding it, and throwing it fiercely at the deer.

One's magic only damaged others.

The spear was a simple spell of Diablo's personal spell list, called ' Flaming Spear'. The user conjures a fire spear, its properties can be adjusted freely, as long as it didn't exceed the user's mana capacity. The hotter, faster, etcetera the spear was, the more mana it consumed.

Diablo made the spear hotter more than it was faster, it was slow. However, he made up for that by channeling bits of his mana through the ground and making the earth grow tendrils of rocks that held the deer in place.

After the deer got hit and died, the spear disappeared and so did the tendrils of earth holding down the deer.

Diablo made his way to it, conjuring a dark blade that with a single slash eradicated most of the fur. He then channeled a ball of fire from his fingertips that he glided over the deer to cook it.

' Right now, food isn't a problem. Neither is water due to water magic. I just need a place to live, continuously killing magical bugs every minute is taking its toll on me'

Diablo thought as the fire disappeared, presenting a beautiful cooked meat, its only flaw was a burnt part in the middle, but the rest was fresh and ready to eat.

As Diablo cut into the meat with his blade, which was made out of the fang of a tiger-like monster, he continued pondering.

' Finding a village and getting adopted by, hopefully good parents, because I don't want to have a kill already at the age of a month, is my top priority right now'

After finishing the meat, all that was left from the deer was its bones. To which Diablo turned into dust by using another one of his special spells, Annihilator. The spell was a black mist of darkness shaped like a ball that enters whatever the target was and spreads throughout it, eradicating it from the inside out.

Diablo sensed an odd presence behind him, immediately, he channeled his entire body with all elements and conjured a long, sharp darkness sword. He then turned around and put it near the presence's neck, before finally opening his eyes.

He was just at the beginning of his mastery of magic, doing all that required immense focus. He needed to shut his eyes.

What stood in front of Diablo was a wolf, at the same time it wasn't.

' A magical beast?' Imbuing himself with light magic allowed him to view one's life force and mana flow. The wolf in front of him showed both a life force and mana flow way stronger than normal wolves.

"At ease, King Predator. We don't mean harm" The beast spoke in a wierd accent. As if it was translated for humans to hear.

"First of all, King Predator? Second of all, We?" After uttering those words, a giant army of magical beasts appeared, causing Diablo's eyes to widen.

"We are the army of the king of the north, Gatekeeper. We have been requested to bring you to him. Also, King Predator is the name we sentient beasts gave you" The wolf said.

"None of you take a single step in any direction, if you don't want to cease existing" Diablo said as he stared right at the army.

"What do you mean?" The wolf said, before having the same reaction as Diablo when he witnessed the army. Hundreds of thousands of flaming needles were up in the sky, at least 20 were pointing at a single beast.

"I'm King Predator like you say after all, you all may be powerful, but can you survive several flaming needles in your body?"

"King Predator, I swear upon my cubs we mean no harm, a Zim has appeared in the north and our king requests your aid in defeating it" A Mikb said, Mikbs are the magical beast equivalent of a bear. It would've looked like a normal bear if it hadn't two ethereal horns on its head.

"What's a Zim?"

"A Zim is an evil version of us, it is when a magical beast harbors strong stray thoughts, which is rare for us

They are attuned with the dark element making them slow but incredibly powerful" The Mikb continued.

"Then lead the way" Diablo said, removing the needles and instead using the mana to further fortify his body with the five elements.
