Chapter 1: Blake Ashford

Blake Ashford took a step forward, only to stop in his tracks as something large moved in the corner of his vision.

Just beyond the town square, where vendors were packing up their stalls, he saw a hulking figure with the head of a bull, covered in muscle and fur, its hooves clacking heavily against the cobblestone street.

A minotaur!

The creature seemed to be casually hauling a wagon full of heavy barrels as though it were the most normal thing in the world. And yet, the townsfolk barely glanced at it, walking past the beast with no more than a nod of acknowledgment. His pulse quickened.

He sighed slightly.

He still wasn't used to the change.

Blake was living a normal life on Earth when he suddenly found himself here a few days ago in the body of a 19 year old! His name was also Blake Ashford and he looked pretty handsome.

After checking with the townspeople he found he was still on earth however the year was 1832 and there were many other races living alongside humans!

From the vague memories which he had , he understood that in this world both his parents died while adventuring and he was left alone with the house and some savings which his parents had accumulated over the years.

He was fascinated with what he discovered. Humans could become stronger and become knights or mages!

Also there were many other races living alongside humans who were also powerful and could perform magic!

He was excited!

In his previous world he was bored with his daily working life.

So he had decided that he will adventure and see the various things there are in this fantasy world!

He will journey the whole world and see all the wonders present even if he was going to his death! Because that's what's exciting!

He had already lived a boring life going to work from morning till evening. He absolutely didn't want to live such a life again.

Blake walked quickly and reached an old grey building.

' Silver's Library ' was written on the front.

The place he was in was called Sunspire town.

The Silver's Library was considered as the best Library in here which had all the knowledge regarding history and magic which was known to people living here.

Blake had been here past few days. After reading a few books he had a general understanding of magic in this world.

Humans could control the elements in nature such as fire, water, earth or metals. However not everyone can control all elements.

Some humans could not even control any elements.

According to a book, one among five humans could control elements.

They are known as mages.

Other than mages humans could also practice swordsmanship. Many powerful swordsman existed who could kill powerful mages. Most people who weren't mages became knights. Knights had tough bodies and fought with swords.

Ofcourse here humans had incredible physique.

They were much more stronger than average humans in his previous world.

Whether someone could control any element could be found by a mage's stone. When a mage puts his hand over it, it sparkles and that indicates that the person could control a particular element.

The previous Blake had no interest in magic and became he had little money, he never even checked himself with the mage's stone.

Getting checked by a mage's stone is expensive!

Good news was that when Blake checked himself two days ago, it did sparkle.

However he still doesn't know which element he could manipulate or even how to do it.

Actually Sunspire town was not a popular place for magic and mostly had knights.

Very few people here are mages. And Blake had no contact with such people.

So Blake planned to leave this remote town and go to a place where mages were popular and learn how to be a mage!

Although he was 19 years old already, he still wanted to give a try.

Entering the library, he paid one gold coin at the entrance and went in.

Yeah the best Library in the town wasn't cheap at all.

One entire gold coin for two hours in the library!

He quickly went to the place where maps were present and looked through them.

Soon he found what he was looking for.

After asking around he knew the best place he should go to right now.

Mistvale city.

It would take him three days to reach there by a caravan.

He quickly searched for all the dangers on the road.

It's a world where many races lived together! Ofcourse not everyone was friendly with humans.

Heck, even some human bandits were present who would kill anyone for wealth.

Soon he noted all the required informations and went home.

Tomorrow he would leave the town in order to learn magic!

And then roam the whole world and see all the wonders present in this fantasy world!
