《I can skip between worlds!!!》5. I return to Magica
Advertisement
As such, another uneventful day of my life was over. I guess I shouldn’t call today uneventful because I got to talk with Miya and made an enemy out of every guy in my class and probably in the whole school.
It wasn’t raining today so I couldn’t offer my umbrella to Miya. Also, she might have brought an umbrella today because of yesterday’s experience.
Since I survived my last death date, I don’t have any plans to die any time soon. So no deathly events occur today. But still I shiver whenever I see a truck on the road. I might even pee my pants if there is a thunderstorm or even if someone lights a firecracker.
I reach my home safely without dying on the way. The first thing I will do when I reach my room is clean it. I don’t want to die due to a banana peel again. Even if I didn’t actually die, I don’t want want to feel that pain of banging my head somewhere.
I prepare my dinner. Today, it’s omelette and rice. Since that person called Doran wanted me to get up early, I have to go to sleep early.
After I have my dinner, I go to sleep at about 6 pm. I am reminded about an anime that I watched where the characters go to sleep wearing a headset in order to enter into a RPG world. But I don’t need any headset.
As I fall asleep, I wake up in another world where I had reincarnated. I have skipped between worlds successfully.
It seems that I have two bodies and one consciousness. Whenever one body is unconscious, the other gets conscious.
Both my bodies are exactly the same. I am wearing my school uniform in this world as that was the clothes I was wearing when I died.
I will be calling this world Magica and the other Scientifica as I am really confused by this world and that world.
I was thinking about many things by getting up in the bed. Doran had already woken up and might have gone outside, probably to feed the horse.
I go outside and find Doran tying his horse to his cart. He was going to sell the wood in the city.
“You woke up late.”
“Didn’t you wake up too early?”
“Because you wouldn’t wake up when the city bell struck five, I am late. Since I have to go sell my wood, I can no longer host you. So I would like if you would go on your way now.”
“I was thinking of leaving your place today. I thank you from my heart for your hospitality.”
“You’re welcome.”
“Is there a guild or something of that sort in this city?”
“I guess you’re looking for the Adventurer’s Guild. The tallest building in the city is the Guild.”
“Thank you once again. I would like to take your leave.”
“You may visit me in Doran Village someday.”
“Definitely.”

I talked with him in a formal language as he is a Village Chief. I then head towards the city. The city has a tall wall all around it, probably for defense.
As I enter the city gates, the guards stop me for checking me for any suspicious activities.
“Show your citizenship.” The tall and muscular guard says.
“I don’t have one. But I was born in this country.”
“You have to come with me. We will use deception detecting magic on you to confirm your statement.” He says.
He takes me into a room and asks me to sit on a chair. He leaves and shortly after that, a woman who was perhaps in her 20’s came in. She had a staff and perhaps was a wizard. (I am omitting calling a woman as witch.)
she chanted while she waved her staff. Light was coming out of the head of the staff that was shaped like a sun that children usually draw. (☀️)
“I have casted a lie prohibiting spell. Try to tell a very obvious lie.” She says.
“I am a Boy.” I say. But what I wanted to say was ‘I am a Girl.’ What am amazing spell.
“Now tell me were you born in this country or not?”
“Yes I was.” I say. Since I reincarnated in this country, technically I was born here.
“Do you have any ill intentions towards this city or it’s people?”
“No I don’t.”
“You have passed the test you are free to enter the city.”
“Thank you.”
I enter the city gates. The buildings are all old in design and have tiled roofs. The streets are paved with stone slabs. The dress up of people is also very old fashioned and I probably stand out in my shirt, pants and tie. I might get away from any kind of interrogation by claiming that I am from another city or country.
I move towards the tall building in the center of the city. It looks like a medieval castle surrounded by tall towers. As I am walking on the street, a horse gallops past me. The horse looks like a exotic breed unlike the scrawny horse of Doran.
The person riding the horse also looked like he was a rich person. His clothes were lavish and wore golden jewelry.
He drops a pouch a little ahead of me.
“Stop. You dropped your stuff.” I shout but he is already too far to hear me.
I pick up the pouch. It is velvet and is quite heavy for its size. I hear a metallic sound when I move it. I open it to find some coins. Some were gold and some were silver. There is a name tag on the inside of the bag.
“Guildmaster Zurak”
It seems that he is the guild master of this city. I should return this to him since I plan on joining the guild.
I move on towards to the guild. The building appears bigger the closer I get to it. There are many people that look strong and are wearing heavy armor. They are moving in and out of the guild. They must be adventurers.

I enter the guild through the huge door. The hall inside is also huge. There are many receptionists on one side of the hall. They are behind protective glass and handle the issues of the adventurers requests and issues professionally.
On other side of the hall, there are many notice boards on the walls. They are filled with requests and adventurers are looking at them.
By looking at the amount of requests and the amount of adventurers at each board I can guess that the board closest to the door is for beginners and the board at the end of the hall is for the highest ranked adventurers.
The first boards are full of requests and the amount of adventurers looking at them is also high. Where as the last board has only a couple of notices that look very old and no one is looking at them.
I go to the reception closest to me.
“How can I help you sir? Would you like to make a request?” The receptionist asks.
She is a woman in her early 20s or late teens. She is beautiful with stunning eyes.
“I actually wanted to meet Guildmaster Zurak. I found a pouch that he happened to drop and I am here to return it.” I say as I show her the pouch from earlier.
She takes a look at the pouch and confirms that it is indeed the Guildmaster’s pouch. She then asks me to follow her so I follow her into a staircase. We climb to the first floor where there is another big door. “Guildmaster Zurak” was written on the door.
The receptionist asks me to wait on a chair outside the door and goes inside. She comes outside and says,”The Guildmaster wants to meet you. Please come in.”
I go inside. The man in lavish clothes I saw earlier was sitting at a table. He gestured me to take a seat. He looked like someone who peed after holding it in for a long time.
“I found your pouch on the way to the guild so I wanted to return it.”
“I am very grateful that you helped me by bringing my money back to me. I was really worried what I would do if I couldn’t find my money. I had sent a few adventurers to look for it but the news of it being returned by a commoner gave me great relief.”
“I just felt obliged to do that work because I wanted to join your guild. But even if I didn’t wanted to, I would have probably done the same.”
“I see. But there is a slight problem. You have to give a physical fitness test that happens twice a year to become an adventurer. The last one happened about a month ago.”
“Oh! Too bad. I guess I will have to wait for five more months to join the guild.”
“Normally you would have to do that. But as a Guildmaster, I have the privilege to appoint one adventurer in every test. And this time I hadn’t used that right so I guess I can appoint you immediately.”
“Are you sure there is no problem in making me an adventurer without any test?”
“You don’t find such honest person such as you everyday so I don’t think there is any problem. Welcome to the guild.”
“Thank you for giving me this opportunity.”
“I didn’t give you this opportunity, you created it for yourself. And also I would like you to accept this small amount of money as your first quest reward, the quest to find my pouch.” He says as he hands me 4 gold coins.
“I can’t accept this because I have already received a reward. And also, I didn’t do that work for any reward but because of my morals.”
“I understand that. But you are already an adventurer and the job you just did was a request from me. You just completed your first request and this is your first reward. I will make you take it by any means, sooner or later.”
“I’m sorry but I had not accepted that request at the reception and just happened to complete it by chance. So I can’t accept that reward.”
“Ok, if you say so, I will allow you to leave without accepting your reward for now. Go with Kira here to the reception to receive your guild card.”
“Ok, I will leave now.”
I follow Kira down to the reception where she hands me a guild card. It is a thin paper card with some writings and the guild seal.
“This guild card absorbs a small amount of your magic to register you as its owner. The writings will have a faint light if it’s in your hand. If it is stolen or lost, it will turn dark when someone else tries to use it.”
“It seems to be pretty convenient.”
“You can also use it as the account card to access the money you have stored in the guild. All merchants will accept the card in any country.”
It is like a credit card. But a magical one.
“You currently have 4 gold coins in your account. You can use it as you wish.”
It must have been that Guildmaster. Anyway, I can use some money right now.
“You can accept any request from the request board of your rank and bring it to any receptionist. When you complete the request, you will be given your reward.”
“Thank you for the instructions.”
“Congratulations, you are now an adventurer.”
“Thanks.”
Thanks to my high luck, I could easily become an adventurer. I will reach the highest rank by any means necessary.

Mistwalker Xyn and the Cult of Eldritch Evil
[Participant in the 2020 Royal Road Writathon Challenge] Having just graduated to adulthood, Xyn is salty about how his lackluster Awakening has resulted in his current derided status within his clan and tribe, particularly when compared to the successes of his litter-siblings. The revelation of the truth about his heritage sets in motion events leading to him traveling to human lands on a secret mission for his tribe. Cringeworthy moments and awkwardness will ensue as young Xyn (an anthropomorphic tiger-kin), raised in the sheltered life of a martial artist, navigates human society with a trusty sidekick or two picked up along the way and might just save his corner of the world while he's at it. Gore will be minimally present as needed to tell a fantasy martial arts tale. There won't be any sexual content, but mild/vague suggestive themes may occur occasionally due to the nature of Xyn's mission and his insecurities. Story should be teen appropriate. Thanks for reading! [Background for the cover art is courtesy GG-graphics via Pixabay.]
8 176Annotated By Sins, Magic Academy
(Chapters are output once a day, unless I am sicck or have a migraine. Once every two days.) Due to being a little too edgy, I decided to reboot in another slightly less edgy version.. 'People fear the unknown, it's classic to fear what isn't known, right? You fear what can harm you at that second. You fear death and betrayal. You fear power that is beyond reason? Why is it that I can't make you feel fear at my name? Why is it that when my footsteps are heard, you don't shat yourself? Does the Dancing Skulls meaning nothing to you?' I slowly take off my mask. Staring the blue-eyed king in the face, watching his eyes trembled and leak.. His lips crack and bleed from imprints. His nose flare out and blood leak out. And yet, in my dark green eyes, I saw no fear.
