Dropping On A Hot Springs

(Jason's POV)

"Shit!" I grunted as I hit the ground hard, "Not again..." 

The bones in my body rattled hard, but other than that, it didn't feel all too bad. I had hit the ground so hard that I caused a large crater. 

"oh man.." I coughed as I waved the cloud of dust away, "Holy shit....I don't like falling hundreds of meters...ohhh.....Ohhhhh!!!" 

I felt a sudden surge of magic power in my body, letting out a massive aura. The feeling of magic power surging through my veins, felt amazing. After months of being unable to access it, I felt a really big sense of relief. 

I raised my arm and engulfed it in my Black God Slayer's black light. The light shone massively, almost blinding me. It was a surreal feeling, I had my magic back.

I mean, not like I've lost it. I just couldn't use it for so long. It was an overwhelming feeling of both satisfaction and relief. Like a huge burden was lifted from my shoulders.This meant that I was really back on Earthland, at least I hope so. I must be because that's where the gate was supposed to take me. 

Unless I somehow ended up in Elentria, but that's doubtful. 

I frowned, "Let's see..." I said, "I wonder if I got all of my magic back. " 

I readied a stance and suddenly, I was engulfed in a thick and crimson aura.

"Okay good." I said, "That's Obliteration Style. I got Martial Arts Magic..." 

I disabled it and extended my arms outwards. 

Suddenly, a Harley WLA bike appeared out of thin air. It was the same bike that I used to drive Mavis to the train station, prior to being attacked by Hades and that Tessa chick. 

"That's War Magic....." I said aloud, "Okay...that's good. That's all 3. At least it should be. But If I can use even one spell from the Tree, I should be able to use all of them." 

I couldn't help but grin. I had my magic back, this meant a lot for me. Despite not being able to use it, I was able to craft some weapons via my Advanced Core, which gave me a lot of knowledge and the ability to craft anything I put my mind to. 

I then looked to my right and saw the spear Erza gave me lodged blade-first into the ground. 

I walked towards it, "Hm." I said, "I ought to put you in the armory....." 

I pulled it out and spun it around, taking a good look at it. I still didn't feel any sort of magic power coming from it. It must've been completely dead, huh? 

"I'll work on you soon." I said, "Don't you worry." 

I leaned it on my shoulder as I looked around, I noticed that the sky was dark, it was nighttime. I then noticed I was in some sort of rocky terrain but I felt an odd heat coming from somewhere. 

I sniffed, "What's that?" I said, "That smell....water??" 

As I said that, I got a massive shiver going down my spine. Suddenly, I got an image of the void I was in momentarily when I went through Anima and the dark purple glow with the obscenely massive magic power that I felt. 

"Whoa..." I said as I sweated a bit, "What the hell was that?" 

It was a strange feeling. I had no idea where I was there, it looked like some sort of.....limbo.....like a space between dimensions, and when I crossed that Anima Gate, I was briefly there. I didn't go through that when Selene used her power on me and I seriously doubt the Fairy Tail mages didn't go through that when they were transported via Anima. 

It felt like a very sinister and dark power was there and I caught a glimpse of it. I had a feeling it belonged to something much bigger than I could imagine. 

The mere thought of it gave me another shiver. 

"Man.." I said, "What the hell did I encounter in there? .....Hey Screen....." 

I stood there for a couple of seconds. 

No answer. 

"Huh?" I said, "Screen." 

Still, no answer. 

"What the fuck?" I said with a frown, "Did it malfunction? Is it because I wasn't in Earthland for a while? I know I didn't have access to it back at Edolas..." 

Before anything else, I heard some footsteps. 

I turned around, alarmed, and saw two middle-aged men walking up to me. One of them, the one in front, was wearing a straw hat. He had what looked like a club in his hands. 

He looked at me with a concerned face, "Uhm...." He said while shuddering, "W-Who are you?"

The one behind him who had glasses, hid behind him, "Y-Yea..." He said shakily

Despite him holding a club, I could tell he wasn't a threat. 

I lowered the spear and raised my free arm in the air, "Don't be alarmed." I said, "I fell from the sky. Long story. If I'm on your property, I apologize." 

The one in front frowned, "The Sky?" He said, "You a mage?" 

I nodded, "Yea." I said, "Like I said, long story. I really mean you no harm. Point me in the direction of any exit and I'll take my leave." 

The Straw Hat guy looked at the man behind him, "Well, I suppose he did fall from the sky." He said, "I did hear a loud crash..." 

The Glasses Guy gulped, "Y-You're right." 

I looked around, "Where am I?" I said, "What's that smell?" 

The Straw Hat guy looked at me, "You landed in the outskirts of our Hot Springs resort." He said, "Today we were closed so we wondered who could be trespassing." 

I raised an eyebrow, "Hot Springs you say?" 

They both nodded. 

"Huh." I said, "That's nice." 

"I could use the relaxation."
