Chapter 8: Awakening and change

When I came to my senses, I quickly looked around but did not find anyone. When I calmed down a little, I felt something and my head ached and I remembered not my life, but that ghost. This is something like the moment when Kai merged with Shin Nemoto, but my soul merged, but I don't feel my mind or emotions and there is no change at first glance.

After the checks, the body became a little stronger, but this is the effect of the magic that merged with me along with a part of the soul. Mind and emotion are gone, and most of the memory and knowledge are also gone.

But there are fragments of memory and it will help me a lot, but the fact that the rest is not scary if I don't have an evil sorcerer in my head or I would merge with the mind and emotions of the sorcerer and lose my mind, but only a little knowledge.

This magician performed a ritual something like Voldemort's Horcrux but much more complicated. Those rituals and spell that I did not understand what the effect was in order to prepare my body or in general who will open the grimoire so that it can replace the soul of the previous owner and come to life again. The longer the grimoire was with you, the more it could influence and accommodate.

But I found the grimoire and I have Overhaul, he did not expect this and defeated him. But it was all pure coincidence and I survived thanks to luck. Having cast the spell, I felt that they are much stronger and easier to cast. He was a strong magician and he had a lot of mani, of course he lost a part when he became a ghost, but still a lot, and together with his soul and his mana merged with me and now my mana is much larger and easier to control.

Now the danger has passed and I got a grimoire and an underground base with various equipment and a large library.

So I began to settle down here, and train in connection with the increase in strength and the receipt of new information. Along the way

In training, I also checked every room I had not yet entered and found several bedrooms, several showers, a bath, a sauna, and even a pool. One of the important rooms is a huge room with a greenhouse with magical plants. Surprisingly everything was automated with the help of magic, there were plants that I already know but some I did not know.

Then there was a forge and a warehouse with metals and tools nearby. In a word, this base was equipped with everything that could be useful.

So I began to live here and train and read the grimoire, there was a charm on the grimoire that should translate the words into the understandable language of the reader, but quite a lot of it was not translated and the language needed to be used and it turned out to be Sumerian. The glasses I bought helped me a lot, they helped me remember and learn, but if you don't know a single word, the translation of the book can last for a very long time.

So I prepared to travel around the countries to buy everything I needed and this time to visit other places of interest and visit not only the magical part of the world.

I created accessories, clothes and various magical things with different enchantments. I tried to brew simple potions, I succeeded but not immediately and spent a lot of time but brewed a little, so I saved it for later.

I made a few brooms and tried to take off but fell a few and didn't want to fly on a broom anymore, so I started thinking about what to do for movement, I wanted to fly but not on a broom, so I remembered Aladdin and his flying carpet, looking for a little found a few carpets.

But the problem is control, you control the broom by leaning in front of you, you will fly in front and all that, but after spending a lot of time I did voice control, of course you can't do different tricks here, but it's much more convenient to fly and you can fly over long distances.

I also made protection from the wind and everything that can fly into your face during the flight and made a disguise like on a Weasley car. Having done a few of these, I can say I was ready.

Why am I doing these things? this is to sell them during the trip, having loaded everything into a bag, I sat on the carpet and I began the journey.

I visited different villages and magical streets and found a place there, just spread the fabric and sold things. At first, no one wanted to approach, but one person would be interested in what I was selling, and so after a while many people crowded in front of me, and so on every time.

Pretty quickly, everything that I had was over and I did more. Along the way, I visited shops and bought books for translation that would help translate the grimoire and the library. I also bought everything that I liked or was interested in something I bought.

I was also in need of basic necessities and food, so I stocked up on various items. I also met some shopkeepers and sold them what I created and we agreed that I would supply them with a certain amount every month and they would sell, and after bargaining I agreed to seventy thirty, they took thirty percent and I seventy.

For others, this may not be profitable, but it is not difficult for me to make several dozen in a few hours. Previously, it took several hours to create one, but having created several, you already know what to do and get the hang of it, a lot can be done pretty quickly.

But this is all thanks to Overhaul for others, it is difficult and long, and if you make a mistake somewhere, it may not work at all and it will be difficult to fix it.

Almost half a year has passed in my travels and I have visited so many places and several times returned to the underground base, well, now this is my home and unloaded everything I bought and moved on.

All this time, I did not stop my training and the circulation of mana too, and increased the amount of mana that circulated and I became stronger and faster, but not much. Also I read about rituals there were all sorts of complex and simple ones that can be done with just a little mana and words.

Complex rituals for some need to be performed in places such as a forest, river or mountain, some need to be performed only on a certain day and time, and some need ingredients or sacrifices.

Strong rituals have many space and time requirements. After reading about them, I prepared for myself some not very difficult ones. The purification ritual is to cleanse all impurities in the body and strengthen it and remove the damaged ones in the body. For this ritual, only potions are needed and the recipe is written, but after trying so many times I could not cook it and I needed the help of a professional potion maker.

I turned to the goblins and they quickly found such a potion master for a generous cash payment. After signing the contract that after completing the missions, he will erase the memory of everything that he does, we blunted to work.

I seem to have zero talent in potions but this potions master was able to do it on the first try and paid him to erase his memory, not the first time he does this kind of work.

Returning to the house, I started the ritual after drinking the potion and after reading the spell, I expected at least something but nothing. Only five minutes later I began to vomit and I ran to the bathroom and I vomited something black and from my whole body a black liquid came out like sweat.

I felt bad and vomited for almost half an hour, and when I stopped, I breathed a sigh of relief, nothing was written about it, and when I touched my hair, they just started to fall out. I panicked but still waited.

My whole body stank and felt uncomfortable, and I undressed and went into the shower and just burned my clothes. After a shower, looking at myself in the mirror, I saw a man completely bald and without hair in his whole body, even there were no eyebrows and eyelashes. But the skin was soft and supple and after some time the hair and eyebrows and eyelashes began to grow very quickly and they were silky and strong. the hair stopped growing only when its length was a little below the shoulders.

The effect of the ritual is very good, but at least they wrote that it would tear and the hair would fall out, it was creepy. But I need a haircut right now and I'm off to Paris to get my hair cut and buy some new clothes.

The hair was in front of my eyes and interfered a little, but the long hair looked beautiful on me and I left it and cut it only to the shoulders and so as not to interfere. Then I bought a three-piece suit and a newsboy cap. I chose clothes like on Thomas Shelby, because my name in this soap is Alex Shelby, there is no resemblance except for the last name, but I look cool.

There was no Shelby in this world, maybe I can create The Peaky Blinders gang. But let's leave that for later.
