The dark engulfing the environment dissipated revealing the sight of a ripped muscular man. Standing in an offensive stance, his fists glowed as if they were light bulbs. For some strange reason he seemed to have some kind of issue with him at the moment. Though that did not grab his attention in the slightest. What drew him in was large dome like structure he was currently in.
'Ryder, you must be dreaming. Right?'
It was a large field which was surrounded by chairs meant for an audience. Funnily enough he didn't realize that the audience was already there. All around, he could see the crowd cheering on for reasons unknown to him.
'Uniforms?'
Yes, all the people cheering had school uniforms on. Even he had a uniform on, confusing the shit out of him.
'They are all students? I am a student? What the heck is going on?', Ryder questioned himself.
Among the audience were elderly people giving off insane amounts of pressure with their stares. His heart felt like it would jump through his mouth any moment, his breathing felt hindered and he didn't like what was going on one bit. Most likely these elderly people where the one's in charge.
The large dome had an opening over it which was covered with some kind of force field. The cracks in the floor he stood on had green energy flowing through it as well. This energy moved all over the dome like it was the energy source powering up the whole thing.
"BEGIN!"
Someone's voice boomed snapping Ryder back to reality. Without noticing it, the person who stood in front of him had reached his position in an instant. Before he could acknowledge this man's insane speed, his glowing fist connected with Ryder's head causing him to slam right into the ground. A gust of wind blew over the field as a result of this attack.
After the assault, Ryder stayed down on the ground feeling a rippling sensation in his head. The pain he felt eventually disappeared, however he was too dizzy now to get up on his feet.
The students who were cheering loudly not too long ago became quiet as if something strange happened. Well he couldn't quite blame them, if a person got punched that hard in front of him he believed he would keep shut as well.
The silence in the crowd was eventually replaced by whispers. Even the elderly people he saw earlier seemed to do the same. From the corner of Ryder's eyes, he noticed a man and woman incoming towards him with a stretcher. They were dressed like medical personnels so he didn't bother struggling with them. Picking him off the cold dome floor, they put him on the stretcher. Before he knew it, he was heading to a place he had no knowledge of.
'I shouldn't be here', Ryder thought to himself.
The meds disappeared into the halls within the dome rushing to who knows where. However before they reached their destination, they were stopped by a woman behind them.
"Hand him over, I will take care of him myself."
"Lady Brenna!", The two medics said as if they had been graced with her presence.
'Brenna?'
Ryder could not see this lady as he was still facing upwards on the stretcher. The footsteps of two other people emerged from the environment. The two medics backed off giving room for these people to hold the stretcher on which he laid.
The medics walked away leaving Ryder with these strange people. From the corner of his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure approaching him. A pale white lady with red long wavy hair came to his side looking at him with concern.
'Is this Brenna?', Ryder said to himself as he looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief.
She wore the same school uniform he had seen earlier. Her blue eyes locked with his for a moment before she proceeded to speak.
"Are you sure it was a good idea to let Dalt Advans win that battle, Master Ryder?"
'What!? Did she just call me master!?'
In order to not implicate himself, he decided to keep shut, holding his inner thoughts to himself. As if expecting him to do this, Brenna pulled back with a smile.
"As you wish master. We shall be heading home now. You shall continue your school activities tomorrow."
'What, I am allowed to leave school whenever I want? Wow, I have no regrets about been hammered in the face now.'
A charriot could be seen stopping at a house similar to a mansion. On a closer look by Ryder though he realizes that this was actually a castle. It was surrounded to the brim by soldiers which were guarding the place.'Am I royalty or what?'
Now that his dizziness had died down, he stood up from the stretcher walking into the castle for some sight seeing. The interiors of the massive structure was filled with shiny metals and precious gems. Some of these things were recognizable, however some of them were not. It was like totally different things existed in this world as well....things like glowing bulb fists. He also noticed the presence of multiple maids and butlers in the castle.
'Finally a reason to get fat', Ryder thought with a smirk.
Brenna noticing that Ryder was looking at the place in awe wondered if something was wrong. Her master was never impressed by anything in his life, even if they were things he never knew of in his entire life. It was not that he had any problems, that was just the kind of man he was.
"Master Ryder, is anything the problem?"
"No, not at all. I was just admiring the beauty of the house."
Brenna upon hearing this widened her eyes in shock, with her mouth wide open. It took awhile but Ryder eventually noticed the strange expression on her face.
"Did I say anything wrong?", Ryder asked as he panicked from within.
"Not at all, master", Brenna indicated with a blush on her face, one that Ryder did not notice.
He had forgotten that his words could implicate him if he was careless with them. Though now that he had learnt from his mistake, he proceeded to climb the flight of stairs in front of him. Upon reaching the top, he realized that there were multiple rooms making it impossible for him to identify his. He would have gone to the fanciest room as it would have been a dead give away, however all of the rooms were fancy.
"Do you need some assistance, master Ryder?", Brenna asked from down below.
Refusing to utter a word this time, he nodded his head to show his approval. She climbed the stairs without delay eventually reaching his current position. Noticing that she didn't seem surprised by this, he believed that this was something that happened frequently. They locked eyes for a longer period of time than in the dome before breaking eye contact.
Brenna held his hand leading him through the interiors of the castle. From behind Ryder noticed the rose like fragrance emitting from her body.
'Damn, she smells so good....what is this woman doing to me!?'
At this point he believed it was safe to say that she was his kryptonite. After some minutes, they had arrived at the door to his room which was being guarded by some soldiers. It was at this point that he realized just how big this castle was.
"This is your room, my Lord."
Ryder shuddered when he heard this. First master and now my Lord, he didn't know how much more he could take of this but he sure wasn't ready to have babies yet.
Nodding his head, he walked into his room closing the door. When he was sure Brenna was gone, he panicked.
"What the heck is going on..!?", Ryder closed his mouth on remembering that their were guards by his door.
Ryder's gaze swept across the room in search of anything that could give him an idea as to what was happening. He noticed a book titled 'History of Mageia: All you need to know' in a shelf filled with books. Taking it out he began to glance through it as fast as he could. Luckily he could understand the words written in the book.
Ryder always had a photographic memory so it didn't take too long for him to get all the details in his head. Though he couldn't really be sure that it was all his photographic memory as it seemed way more advanced than he remembered.
Eventually, his eyes fell upon a mirror by the edge of his room. He tossed the book to the side and approached his mirror in slow controlled steps.
In the mirror he could see a man with perfect white colored skin accompanied by an amazing athletic build. His white lustrious hair was a sight to behold. Though what stood out was his red eyes which seemed to glow. Trying to make some movements, he noticed the reflection doing the same. Now it was clear as day what was going on.
"Who the hell is this!?"
"Darn it, why ask something so damn obvious, of course it's me." Nothing bad had happened so far so Ryder did not see the need to panic just yet. Besides this world's Ryder seemed to have his life all set. He was not just handsome he was actually gorgeous, he was rich and was probably even royalty. Though the only strange things he had witnessed so far was getting attacked by that ripped guy in school and not having the memories of the previous owner. Just then something hit him. "What..!? I see..." In the book he had just tossed aside, there was mention of magic in it's contents. Apparently magic was very common in the world of Mageia. According to the book 70% of the planet's population acquired magical abilities while the other 30% did not. "So that's what the glowing fists were all about", Ryder said in realization. Picking the book up, he began to read the book to learn as much as possible. After a few hours he had completely gone through the contents
The two hours class went by quicker than expected with Ryder focusing on what was being taught with all of his attention. Meanwhile, Brenna had the perfect opportunity to think about her master's recent behaviors. It couldn't be described as anything but strange. Upon reaching the end of the class, the teacher Mr. Dime decided to carry out a practical to demonstrate something on magic. Ryder's eyes widened during this moment as he anticipated what was about to happen. This of course did not do anything for the teacher but add pressure on him. "Just like I said, magic is performed when magicules are harnessed by magic users. It is a simple process. First absorb the magicules in the environment." Ryder could clearly see white colored particles moving in the air. In a few seconds it made a magic symbol that was visible to the human eyes. "It is important that you imagine what you want to do when you are absorbing these magicules. This will ultimately determine th
Ryder woke up feeling of the warm rays of the morning sun on his face. To his surprise, he saw the same maid of the previous day bending over like she did before. For some reason he felt like slapping his forehead at that moment, though he managed to control himself. 'Why is she still doing that!?' The same like last time he waved his hand with a warm smile on his face. Jumping out of bed, Ryder had a quick montage of him wearing the clothes that had been left for him on his chair. Just like on Earth, Mageia days were named in according of a Monday to a Sunday. Refusing to stress himself with these names he considered today Wednesday, a school day. After everything he had experienced in school the previous day though, there was no way he was going to school that day. Walking through the halls of the castle, Ryder noticed that Brenna had not come to his room this morning either. 'Am I supposed to be worried about her?', Ryder questioned himself. There was a
A determinant Ryder dropped off from his chariot observing every detail of his environment. He immediately noticed the large number of people that were entering into the school. The question was, were they all students from the school or did they just come to witness the fight? 'Is this match really that important', Ryder couldn't help but wonder. His attention was dragged away by Brenna who got off the chariot shortly after. Her eyes was brimming with a hint of doubt and confidence. Surely it was because she wanted to believe her master was not going to lose this time. Ryder looked her in the eye before holding and squeezing her hand lightly. He wanted to tell her everything was okay, though he knew that it wasn't his place to do so. It was him that was going to get his ass beat anyways. The two walked into the school attracting a large number of eyes like last time. This time with the help of Brenna, Ryder was able to know where the path way to the dome was
"Begin!" Dalt opened up the fight with a straight forward charge with the same incredible speed Ryder had witnessed when he first came to Mageia. Closing the distance between them in an instant, Dalt hurled a quick jab to his opponent's face. Dodging the attack barely, Ryder lost balance and landed on his butt. That was not all he had to offer however as Dalt soon continued the assault on Ryder. Receiving countless blows from his opponent, Ryder managed to push him back with his hand. To his greatest surprise this was done with ease and resulted in Dalt falling to the ground. In what seemed like an instant, the pain from all those attacks vanished from Ryder's body. Making use of his current situation, he rolled up on his back and stood to his feet. Dalt who was still on the floor gave a bewildered look trying to understand what had just happened. To Dalt this was the first time he had ever been overpowered so easily. The fact that he was overwhelmed was not what
The ride back home was quiet as expected. Ryder on the other hand had more emotional energy radiating from him more than usual. Brenna who was an expert at reading his emotions felt all of this, however she chose to remain silent. Upon reaching the castle, Ryder dropped off heading to his room without any form of hesitation. Opening his door and jumping on the bed, Ryder dived deep into his thoughts with a rather stern expression. It was soon discovered that he did not come out for the entirety of that day. Sun rays flashed on Ryder's eyes as he laid asleep in bed. Opening his eyes, he realized that it was a brand new day. His early morning routine always included the sun invading his eye lids. Even though he wished this could be changed, he was starting to get use to it. Sitting up on his large bed, Ryder noticed the maid who was bending over as usual. At this point he was starting to believe this was her own morning routine. Perplexed, Ryder gave a confused look at
Ryder woke up to the sound of humming from a distance. Sitting up, he rubbed his throbbing head as he tried to remember events from when he was previously conscious. His eyes widened as he came to realize what had happened. He had been poisoned and stabbed in the chest by Brenna, his own fiance. "Is this heaven?", Ryder asked himself as he took in the view of his environment. "Oh..it's just my room. Seems I am going to be suffering some more in this world. But how exactly am I alive?" It didn't make any sense that he was still alive right now as he had been stabbed though his heart. 'What is going on?' Ryder's thoughts soon got sidetracked by the memories of the events that had taken place since his arrival on Mageia. At that moment he came to the belief that he was just one unlucky douchebag. When he first came to this new world, he didn't panic so much as he saw this as a new opportunity for himself. Sure he didn't believe he deserved to replace the previous
Ryder and Lassie dropped off at the academy just as planned while Vienna left in search of Brenna. Upon getting to the academy, Ryder had no idea where to go, however Lassie pointed towards the academy halls without him saying a word. He wasn't sure but it seemed like Vienna was aware he wouldn't be able to find this place. This caused him to feel slightly on edge. Walking through the halls of the academy, him and his fiancee eventually got to a tile of a different color than the one he knew. To be precise, this floor tile was black in color. Feeling hesitant about the whole thing he paused in place. Though he was assured things were okay by the calming look on Lassie's face. Stepping on the tile, the duo was transported to a room Ryder had never been in before. The room had a cosmic look just like the students training room, however it was different. Unlike the other, the space had a blue color and this place seemed to contain just a door room. "This should be y
