Reincarnated to Another World as: The Lowkey Magic User

Chapter 4: Fenrir and Hel

I took another look at my magic spell list and did a thorough search so that I didn't miss a single spell. After five minutes of meticulously searching, I have now confirmed that I have no offensive magic. 

"I told you. You weren't blessed with any offensive magic," Terissa said. 

"What kind of crap is that? I'm given a bunch of awesome magic spells, yet I can't have any offensive magic spells? How am I going to protect myself?" 

"Maybe if you come back inside the house, you'll figure something out eventually. I'm just your guide, and I don't have the power to answer you beyond my expertise," Terissa said before shutting herself down. 

Ugh. I have the feeling that my life here would be like a roller coaster. 

Ever since that dragon incident, I haven't left the manor in a while. I was afraid I'd get attacked again, so I've been cooped up in the house for almost a week. It wasn't that bad, though. 

Terissa mentioned that the manor has a massive library where I spend most of my time. If I want to get out and explore, I must learn something to protect myself. 

I saw a few spells that I knew would help me, but they didn't work when I tried them. I don't know if there are any special methods to use the spell, but to find out, I'll have to ask some people because the books here weren't helping me. The problem with that is my fear of going outside. 

"Your blessings were only for defensive spells. You don't have any offensive spell, but if you are smart enough, you'll find a way," Terissa said, and I felt like she had something to say but won't tell me. 

I'm not really a people person, but staying in an empty mansion alone isn't healthy. I'll likely lose my mind if I don't get out of here, but I'm afraid that I'll get out of here and get attacked again.

Honestly, I shouldn't be afraid since I have pretty high stats, but even so, I could've been killed by the dragon if I didn't act like I did. I'm not sure if I can do that again. Plus, I can't use any magic to fight. I can only protect myself, and that's it. 

With my creative hand skills, I could create and replicate things, but besides that, I was basically just some very defensive magician. This is starting to get ridiculous. 

That's it! I'm leaving. 

I get out of my room and go all the way to the front door that leads to the outside. I placed my hand on the doorknob, but my hand didn't move. I tried to open the door, but my hand wouldn't bulge. 

Come on!

I just decided to leave this place, and my body tells me no. Man, this is getting nowhere. 

I sat on the floor and started to think, and then an idea popped into my head. I need bodyguards! Something like golems but doesn't vanish and will remain by my side! Then I can go outside without the fear of getting attacked. Wow! I'm a genius! 

"Took you long enough to figure it out," Terrisa decided to show up again and talk to me. 

"Well, hello there, it's been a while since we last talked," I replied, mentally rolling my eyes at her. 

"I was trying to make you think of a possible way for you to survive," she said. "And I'm glad you finally thought of it. Congrats."

Ugh. 

"So, what now? Maybe you can tell me everything I need," I told her. 

"This house has a secret. Rumors say the last owner of this house slain the famous Fenrir and an evil Deity named Hel. He then took their souls here and condemned them here," Terissa said. 

"Why? Why would the owner do that? I know Fenrir and Hel. They were famous in my world. Did they exist here?" 

"Yes. It has been a thousand years since Fenrir and Hel created havoc. And the owner was the only one who stood up against the two and slain them. The owner sealed them here so they won't be reincarnated. It was a grave mistake, of course. Fenrir and Hel were the reason those evil creatures hid themselves. But when the two disappeared, well, all hell broke loose," she explained. 

"Oh, so basically, Fenrir and Hel were evil creatures that were feared by other evil creatures too?" 

"Yes. And the good thing is that you can summon them and create a body for them. Once their soul binded with the body you created, you will become their master," Terissa said. 

"Sounds good!"

"Yes. They can be your offensive magic wielder."

My eyes bulged when I heard what she said. 

"Awesome!"

With what Terissa suggested, I then headed toward the lab. I found the lab accidentally when I wandered around the house. 

I used to be fascinated by the human body when I was in high school. I used to carve or paint back then. But when I turned adult, I had to do much work to pay bills. I hope coming here will bring my poor life back into my old world. 

I'm a working adult, but my appearance changed when I was reincarnated here. I mean, I looked like a nineteen-year-old body again. I used to be a twenty-seven-year-old man, but I guess I aged backward a little when I got here. 

It doesn't bother me that much. The good thing is I'm still an adult. 

I don't really know much about this world, but I shouldn't be worrying right now. I have to make a body for my future bodyguards. 

"Do you think I have all the ingredients I need to have, Terissa?" I asked my guide. 

"Yes. You have them stored in your storage box. For starters, you have a magic core. That's all you need. You have the replication skill, so all you have to do is think of a body that will suit Fenrir and Hel," she replied. 

"So what does a magic core use to?" 

"They will act as the body's fuel and color. You can only replicate them but don't have the skill to make a living human. The magic core can also be their source of life. You have to prepare their body first, and I'll teach you how to fuse magic core with the body."
