《The Inventor of Magic》1: An Idea
Advertisement
"Come on Zach, it's not like you have anything better to do. You never do anything for yourself these days, you're always holed up in that mansion of yours! You need to enjoy yourself a bit, you're only fifteen for Christ sakes.",
That is Richard Improm, CEO of Improm Industries and an annoying friend of mine (even if he is turning 40 this year).
"You know as well as I do Richard that I'm too busy to enjoy myself. Even your company works with my inventions. I just have too much work I need to do.",
"Zach... For crying out loud, you're still under 20, have secretly won two Nobel prizes and invented the very thing that society today revolves around and you're telling me you can't take a rest! If you can't rest, no one can!",
"I know but-",
"No buts. I have a plan that even you won't refuse.",
"Oh god, what now?",
"You know I have a daughter right?",
"Yes... Where's this going?",
"Well, she is going to be starting at Silyan, one of the world's leading magic institutions, next Monday.",
"So?",
"Well if you go and enjoy a normal school life whilst looking out for my daughter, I'll pay you one hundred million dollars. How about that? This way it's not rest, it's work right?"
"Isn't that too much?",
"Don't worry. With your inventions, this is mere pocket change, Mwahahahaha! *Cough* Just go and enjoy yourself."
"*sigh*...Thanks, Richard. I owe you one."
"No, if anything everyone on this planet owes you, Zach... I'll send you the details on Friday and-",
*Bzzzt*
Of course, Richard's fancy holo-phone began to ring on his desk. I knew that bloody thing would interrupt our talk!
"Yeah, hello. Who's speaking? ... UmHmm... Yeah... Now? Ok, see you shortly.",

Richard places his phone back onto the desk in front of me and looks at me apologetically.
"I'm sorry Zach, but the busy life of a CEO has interrupted us yet again. Perhaps we could play golf sometime. Anyway, it turns out some bigwigs are coming to get custom devices, you know how it is, you will have to go for now."
"Okay. Goodbye.",
I stood up from the fancy leather chair I was previously sat in and got ready to 'leave'.
"Hey, Zach.",
"What now?",
"You sure you don't want to sell me the teleportation array as well?",
"No, it's not calibrated yet. Besides, I doubt you'd understand how to use it. Anyway, didn't I just sell you the flight array two months ago? Don't be getting greedy Richard.",
"Yeah, yeah sorry. Remember I send the details on Friday.",
"Yeah, I've got it. See you, Richard.",
"Bye.",
And within the instant, I thought of it the signal from my brain was intercepted by my one of a kind implant-type magic device which activated the teleportation array.
One moment I was stood in Richard's office. The next, I was gone and stood calmly in front of a large sized house in the middle of the countryside.
"Well, back to work then.", I said to myself with a sigh.

Again from Scratch Saga: Izmittor Unchained
If someone precious to you needed your help, would you extend it? Would you still do it if it costs you your peace and perhaps even your life? For Tercius, a man mysteriously reborn nearly thirteen years ago, there was only one answer to both questions. Feeling compelled, he sets out to journey to the northern Sogea and its infamous Western Izmittor mountain range, a natural stronghold of sky tearing mountains and deep canyons. Legends about the place abounded, but he knew without a doubt that the hidden valleys, rushing rivers, thick forests, and desolate landscapes hid powerful predators, the likes of which stalk the harsh terrains for an easy source of meat and bones. The many natural dangers of Western Izmittor would be hard enough to navigate safely for a lone traveler, but to make matters worse Tercius had enemies in the heights of Western Izmittor, humans and spirits who would see him dead if they ever learned of his true connection to the Pyramid of Tergaron and the Society of the Magi. To make things even more difficult, he also had to ensure that the true extent of his own Innate Skills remained hidden, for if the prying eyes of the world fell on him and his many secrets came to light, then he would never again know a day of peace. Can one reborn man manage to keep his secrets and still succeed in doing what his conscience compels him to? Will he have to choose one over the other? And can he do any of it without reigniting the sparks of a planetary war the likes of which had not been seen in millennia? Follow Tercius’ story and find out! *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** This story is a continuation of Again from Scratch, a story of mine also posted on RR. Reading it is NOT necessary to read this story, but for anyone who wants to get a little bit more background, here is a link: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/38803/again-from-scratch Again from Scratch was my first journey into writing and I have taken all I learned from that and started writing Again from Scratch Saga, a continuation that is almost stand alone. Changes in certain phrases and words between the two are edits made because of the rewrite plans I have for the old story. The story is available here, on RR, on Webnovel, and on Scribble Hub.The cover was taken from PublicDomainPictures.net and made by one Nona Lohr
