《The Life of a Wizard》Overcompensating
Advertisement
What the hell James!?" I yell.
James gives me a perplexed look. "What?"
"I told you to bring one ship with you, right?"
"Yes? And I did just that." James replied.
"Okay, but why did you bring that one!?" I exclaim pointing at the ship outside my office.
"What's wrong with it?"
"'What's wrong'? James, that ship is as big as Vale itself. For crying out loud, that thing looks like it could destroy a kingdom in an hour." I exclaimed.
"Three and a half actually." James corrected.
"I don't give a shit, James! Get that shit out of my house!" I yelled.
Winter takes a step forward. "Sir, please. General Ironwood only has the best intentions for humanity in mind."
"Not now, Winter. Can't you see the adults are talking!?"
Winter's dumbstruck by the headmaster's attitude. "E-Excuse me!?"
"You are excused."
James slams his hands on my desk. "Ozpin, this is ridiculous! Besides, the council has put me in charge of security here so I'm not going anywhere."
"Then I'll march up to their offices and shove my cane up their asses!" I yelled.
A crow flies in through a window and transforms into Qrow. "Hey I'm back and saw that big thing in the sky. What did I miss?"
"See for yourself." Glynda points at two headmasters arguing about James big ship.
"Hm." Qrow takes a swig of his flask. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say Jimmy is overcompensating."
Glynda furrows her eyebrows. "Don't be ridiculous. James is not that juvenile."
"That's not what I'm seeing." Qrow told her.
Glynda just sighs as she feels a headache coming and takes her leave before it gets worse. 'I wonder how Siegfried is doing.'
I let out a sigh. "Whatever, I've struck a deal with Roman Torchwick. He'll be our eyes and ears on Cinder's little club for a while. They've already infiltrated the academy as students from Mistral."
"So what's the plan, Oz?" Qrow asked.
I take the Gendo Pose. "Let them think they have the upper hand like before. If they want to hit us hard, they'll need to hack the CCT first which can only be done through my office." I turn to my monitor and type something. "And when she tries, she'll be in for a surprise." I had an evil grin on my face. "Heheheh..."

Qrow leans towards James. "Does Oz look a little... evil to you?"
"You're not seeing things Qrow." James said.
The dance is at full swing with the students (and some teachers) dancing, drinking, talking, and making out. Glynda, James, and I along with a few professors watch them from the sidelines. I can see Jaune with a black tuxedo with a yellow best dancing with Pyrrha who's wearing a red dress. They seem to be having a pleasant time together.
That is until Yang barges in from seemingly nowhere and tries to have her way with Jaune which made Pyrrha extremely angry. The two girls start fighting and they notice Velvet approach Jaune and spirit him away, all the while giving the two girl a cocky smirk.
Meanwhile, Ruby has this constipated look on her face as she watches on from a distance.
I am one hell of a matchmaker.
"Master."
"What's up, Siegfried?" I asked.
"The two accomplices that you told me are on their way now, without their leader." Siegfried states.
"Good." I said.
"Is it time yet?" Glynda asked.
Just then, Emerald and Mercury appear without Cinder as expected.
"Showtime." I tap my cane and vanish in emerald light.
This is just too easy.
I easily infiltrated the CCT tower without much effort, the guards "guarding" the entrance were pretty pathetic to look at; a simple tap in the back of the head was all it took.
The general's drones would have made a better challenge.
I walk up to the elevator and hit up button.
The elevator stops and doors open to the headmaster's office. I take out the Scroll with Watt's virus. He's insufferable but at least he has his use from time to time.
I plug it into a nearby port and the download begins.
"All too easy." Soon, victory will be mine.
"What!?" I exclaim.
"What do you think of my little buddy? I had him set up in case some dumbass tries to hack my computer."
I turn around to see none other Ozpin standing behind me. "Ozpin!?"
"Were you expecting someone else?" Ozpin asked.

"But how-!?"
"Plot. But seriously, did you actually think I was going to let you out of here alive?" Ozpin asked.
I stare at him before a smirk forms on her face. "No... I suppose not." Two glass scimitars appear in my hands. "I'll end your life here tonight."
"I'll take that bet. Now... hit me with your best shot!"
I charge in for an attack, but the bastard blocks it with his cane and then kicks me in the stomach. He wastes no time and sends a series of jabs that drain my aura faster then I realize.
"You've activated my trap card." I snap my fingers.
"Wait, what-" One of the gears from the ceiling falls mere inches from my head as it hits the floor with a loud thud. I didn't have time to react as Ozpin rushes in, his face sporting a large grin as he punches me in the gut with inhuman strength enough to destroy my Aura and leaving me defenseless.
All of the air in my lungs is thrown out as I begin to choke from the lack of oxygen and the incredible pain I've been inflicted.
"Pathetic. You think that just because you have a powerful Semblance, a clever mind, and a ragtag group of misfits following you around makes you powerful, right?" Ozpin laughs. "Please, you're just a kid playing villain... complete with spandex."
"You dare..." I was at my limit. This senile old fool thinks he can mock me. ME!? "YOU FUCKING DARE!!!!" I let the power of the Fall Maiden loose. "When I'm done with you, I'm going to get the rest of the Fall Maiden power and THEN I'm going to hunt down every single student in this academy and burn them at the stake!"
Ozpin stays frozen in place, likely frozen in awe and fear of my power.
"Pffft..."
What?
"Oh god, could you be any more edgy? As if the name 'Cinder Fall' wasn't enough for you." Ozpin chuckles.
"Why!? Why aren't you afraid of me!? I took down the previous Fall Maiden, I am the strongest in all of Remnant!" I exclaimed.
"Please, you must be naïve to believe that. So what if you manage to beat one Maiden? In case you didn't know, there are three other Maidens out there who are older and more experienced than you. You really think you have the strength to beat them all and take their magic?" Ozpin asked.
"It is my destiny!" I yelled.
"No. You're destiny starts right... now!" Ozpin exclaimed.
I suddenly feel something colliding with me and it sends me forward right in front of Ozpin and he pins me to the floor with his cane. I look up only to be startled by Amber coming out of shadows.
"Remember me? Yeah, you do." Amber said with venom in her voice.
"Impossible, you should be crippled!" I yelled.
"I fixed her up, good as new." Ozpin kneels and raises his hand. "And now for the finale."
I scream as I feel a force ripping my soul in half. I try to fight it, to resist it but its too strong. "What are you doing!?"
Ozpin puts his hand out and Amber takes it and yellow aura begins to envelope her. NO!
"What have you done!?"
Ozpin stands up. "Giving the power back to where it belongs (for now at least)."
"You bastard! That power is mine! I deserve it!" I yelled.
"Shshshsh... do you hear that?" Ozpin asked.
"What?" I snarl.
"Ugh, professor!" Amber recoils in disgust.
Suddenly, a burst of rose petals litter the office and red whirl turns into a girl.
"Hands up! You're under... arrest...?"
"Ah. Ms. Rose. A little late to the party and must you make such a mess?" Ozpin asked. "Could you call the general for me? Tell him the pest problem has been dealt with."
"Fuck..." I cursed.

Reality Grants One Chance
Some people are lucky, some aren't, some - have terrible luck. Our "hero" is of the latter kind. During young age he got into an accident, which allowed him to learn the fact that he belongs to a rare group of people.. People diagnosed with lung cancer, which he, however survived. Can't say he's lucky, as his life went downhill from that point... Our story happens years later, when his fate decides to make a loop and throw him in the same kind of accident. He gets hit by a truck. Surviving the crash, suffering just a few scratches, he is ultimately "lucky" to find himself out of the hospital in no time.. however every bit of good luck always brings him terrible luck afterwards. This time pushing him maybe a bit too far.. How far? Making him vanish without a trace and find himself in the middle of an unknown forrest. Doesn't sound bad? He can consider himself lucky? Just wait and see...It can always get worse.. always.. .... Congratulations, you've made it through the intro and into the author note! If you by any chance missed the tags and didn't read the warning, please do that now. I really recommend you to. Before you jump to reading, and unintentionally scar yourself, do mind that the story is about a dark, unforgiving world, a world in which you have more opportunities to die a horrible death, than take a piss. Hero doesn't have great luck, he has dumb persistance, he doesn't go through any trial with a breeze, he pays the price of blood, flesh and tears to live..and will be paying for every mistake.. No one outright explains anything to him, just as us for the most part - he is not sure what the hell is going on.. Some real survival tactics are used as a base of the descriptions, they are as important to the world and character as any other element.. Mind that the story starts really slow, but as the stone starts rolling downhill - the pace gets faster.. Every tag for this novel has a reason to be there, so if you don't see the particular element there, don't panic.. it's either well camoufalged, subtle or simply not encountered as of yet. Big thanks to Hobbo, Enyhrye and Hveth! ...not only pointing that the description could be better, but providing invaluable input.. and being patient enough to give fleshed out advice.

Unique Fusion Magic Hex
World Essence. The mysterious energy coursing throughout the entire land of Vor'ten, and very possibly the entire world. This energy has allowed humanity to flourish, building great empires and vast kingdoms, conquering nature itself with just a sweep of their hand. Humans were the strongest existence, and with the help of channeling this World Essence, many were able to turn into Magic Knights, gaining magical abilities to combat the various fierce beasts throughout the lands.Alas... those glory days of old were long gone. Humanity has now been pushed to the brink of destruction, and now the remaining members of the human race are encased within giant domes known as 'Alkkras', made with the last remaining bits of the World Essence. It was said that those giant domes were the last gifts left by the remnants of the ancient human race, as a means to protect the future generation from the attacks of the many wild beasts roaming outside. Five Spiritualist Invokers, all combined together, used the last bit of the World Essence and sacrificed their lives to lay a gigantic, 1028-seal formation magic array to form these barriers, forever saving humanity, but also trapping humanity within these barriers.However, the humans were never completely helpless. No matter how little World Essence was left, the humans still had some remaining. Realizing the incoming crisis, the humans found a way to seal World Essence inside a special type of crystal. Soon, these crystals began to become implanted into weapons, turning them into World Essence Weapons, and they began to display properties of their own. Extreme heat. Bone chilling cold. Absurd sharpness. These normal weapons, after being imbued with the energy of the World Essence Crystals, began to form natural affinities to elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Darkness. Light. Using these weapons, one could become a Chevalier that wielded the power of the elements.However, if one wanted to reach a higher level of enlightenment and understanding, one could become an Invoker. Via the study of magic array formations, one could directly use the power of the World Essence to cast devastating magics upon the enemy. These people were Invokers, highly valued for their combat potential by the Army. These weapons and magical arrays were used in the great fight between the humans and the beasts long ago. They had long since been put away in storage, almost long forgotten...However, after ten-thousand years of suppression, the human race is beginning its counterattack against the Beasts... Synth was an Invoker in the Magecroft Academy. However, his talent was terrible, being only at the Spark Stage. This led to him being looked down upon and bullied. He was unable to cast any Calamity-rank or even Destruction rank spells, and was only able to cast Coalescing rank spells at the age of 17, a record low in the academy for cultivating these rare Invokers. Even though he put in more effort than anyone else, he was still unable to advance his Channeling Energy. But due to his constant research and study, Synth ended up creating a power that would go against the heavens - he had found how to Fuse spells together. After trying it out once, merging the magical array for the Small Fireball and the Mortal Judgement skills, he was able to create a mid-rank Destruction tier spell, Holy Judgement Flame. However, after this, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to fuse more spells together or even cast them, and noticed a weird, pentagram shaped formation on his left arm. He would later call this mark the Fusion Magic Hex, a curse that prevented the wielder from casting magic that wasn't their own...This meant that with the exception of Synth's newly created skill, , he was going to have to create unique magic arrays if he ever wanted to step on the path of becoming an Invoker! This power that destroyed the laws of the Invoking System, and his unyielding persistence in testing and creating new spells, would later gain Synth the nickname the Unique Fusion Hex, and lead him to become one of the strongest beings in the entire World!
