Chapter 7: Understanding Magic!

Time-Line 1st May 2008

3: 00 PM -[Same day as previous two chapters]

Change of POV: 3RD POV

Goddess Rhongomyniad or rather how she likes to still user her Mortal Name 'Alex' has been training continuously for past 7 hours with zero rest. Only full concentration.

At first remaining time she had with [God's System]'s barrier she directly started learning the difficult manifestation of her [Light-Power], that is creating barrier similar to previous one created by [God's System].

[God's System] even complimented her at her incredible potential at wielding magic, and that '[God's System]'s creator did not disappoint by choosing a kind Human for his successor'. 

Anyway, it took her about 30 Minutes to succeed in forming a barrier around herself, if that can even be called a barrier. It's large in two meters in all directions, From above to below, creating a perfect circle. That was fruit of 30 minutes on working on barrier, mind you she skipped straight from Low-Level imagination like creating weapons of light straight into barriers.

But then she continued working on the barrier, barrier itself is not meant to be for 'battle' but to contain Magical Power in it to not affect outside world, so Alex would be capable to 'train' and experiment further without worrying about accidentally destroying something or alerting Gods of other pantheons.

The first barrier she created is able to Contain Magical Power from a High-Class being.

Then she continued enforcing that same barrier further, expanding it's territory and the 'strength' behind it.

But..

Alex only managed to increase the strength of barrier to hold the energy of an Ultimate-Class being, [God's System] warned that barrier of this level is indeed impressive as first Magic someone could learn and for Alex to be able to create stronger barriers she has to prolong her understanding of Magic.

Meaning, she has to creating other Magical attacks and forms with her imagination beside 'Barrier'.

It took her 2 hours to create an Ultimate-Class Barrier, after that she proceeded to 'use the barrier and expand it to entire apartment' building, barrier will only hold Magical Energy 'but not 'living beings' to all others, this Barrier will seem invincible even to Supernatural creatures.

"Incredible. I'm incredible!" Exclaimed Alex as she 'marveled' at the barrier she created, an Ultimate-Class Barrier, ain't Alex op?! Too op in fact! 

"Shut the fuck up! Some people wanna sleep!" Someone shouted from the walls, whoever was that, it was an old woman's voice.

Alex grumbled something under her breath before she checked the watch. 

It's 9:21 AM.

Thankfully, Alex[Auto-Pilot] had brought fridge full with food, especially fast food.

After a pause of 10 minutes, eating pizza and drinking Coca Cola, Alex returned back to her training.

Her goal? Learn basic attacks and create something like illusion around her so she can still 'use her ID' thus make her appearance look like 'Proto Arthur' but it will all be illusion, high-level illusion but still illusion.

She needs documents, and for documents she needs her old face before she became 'Goddess Rhongomyniad'.

And once again she started training, with [God's System] and it's instructions on how to 'Imagine' Light-Power created weapons she started.

[Every Angel has their own Light, every Light is different from other. Some of them are darker, some 'lighter'. But in the end they all end up bringing the same result. You as 'Successor to God of the Bible' naturally possess the 'original Light' and the first one but purest one.]

Screen shifted once again as Alex read it.

[You saw how [Light-Power] works in 'our Anime' from what I saw in your memories, did you not? Try to imagine those 'Light-Looking' weapons, spears. Then imagine them as 'particles of light' forming in your hand and turning into those 'spears of light' and imagine you are unleashing 0,001% of your energy.] [God's System] Instructed Alex..

Alex did as told.

She extended her right hand, her emerald eyes glaring at her palm, as she 'imagined Light forming on the palm' and taking a shape of sword. 

And it did so. 'Specks of light formed out of nowhere inside her palm'. And suddenly, in incredible speed they took the form of a sword.

A light sword, long approximately 1,5 meter.

And then, Alex swung it down. 

One more swing, and one more.

Then she 'imagined the Light-Sword disappearing' and it turned into particles before it disappeared from the world.

And then Alex continued doing the same thing for an hour, she imagined the same sword, same light. Same density and same energy for the first sword.

Each time she created the sword, it took her less and less time. 

She is going to continue doing it till she is capable of creating a 'Light-Sword' in less than a second. She started by creating first sword in three seconds.

It took her non-stop creation for entire hour till she was able to create it in two seconds.

[Seraph Michael and all other Seraphs are capable of creating thousands objects made of Light in less than a second, but [User] has just started understanding her abilities, at current speed it will take [User] approximately months before she is able to reach 'Seraph-Class' level of control.]

Alex hummed as she nodded before disintegrating her sword once again.

"Then at what level of control am I right now?"

Screen Shifted.

[ [User]'s control over [Light-Power] right now is comparable to Low-Class Angel but under 'Barrier' Category it shifts to High-Class Angel Control for short time. Mind you, [User] will need days to get to High-Class Angel Control.]

Alex read and nodded.

Three hours passed since she started her 'training'.

3.

Then Alex switched from creating to create something more simple. A 'straight line of [Light-Power] acting as spear'.

At first try, it took her one second to create.

The more 'creative' looking, the 'longer' it will take to create it.

Then after continuously training for two more hours [Five in total] she can create more than five spears in less than 0,5 Seconds. But to create a single spear, she can in 0,010.

Then she understood the big difference between her and Seraph-Class Angels. Seraph-Class Angels can create thousands of [Light-Power] objects in less than a second.. And they represent the peak of Angels and 'God-Tier' strength.

Alex finally understood how weak she is compared to them, if she only learns how to control her power she will truly be 3rd Strongest.. 

This motivated her.

Two more hours of continuously resulted in abnormal leap compared to before.

She can create exactly 30 'Spears made from Light' in less than a second, precisely 0,9 of a second. Just barely passing it.

[Incredibly! [User]'s potential is off the charts! In seven hours [User] is almost Mid-Class Angel in control!] [God's System[ glazed once more 'Alex's achievements', but it's correct. It's not everyday thing to see someone leap from Human-Class control to Mid-Class control in Seven Hours, even if the Magic in question is 'one of he easiest' ever.

"Ah, shit.." Alex felt it, she couldn't control it anymore. If she let it out, consequences will be catastrophic. With her shy personality on full force, she bolted from the bed straight towards the bathroom and sat on the toilet.

And 'let it out'. First time is always diabolical!

She felt it...

And sound of it falling on water. 

'First small toilet break since she got turned into woman'.

She decided, that once her control over her abilities rise to appropriate levels she will give her damn best to 'create another body' a male one so she can 'still be a man'.

She asked [God's System] about it, 'God of the Bible' was powerful but his powers were not shape-shifting, but Creation and Light. But she then asked [God's System] since she could not turn herself into a man, if she could create 'a lifeless husk' for her to inhabit while her real body rests somewhere.

[God's System] responded in positive.

Next Day:

Time-Line: 2nd May 2008

Sunday

Day has been quite hectic. 

Alex has been training once again, one more day of being entirely isolated in her own apartment.

But this time.. It's too create an Illusion around her so she can 'Pretend to still have her Proto Arthur Appearance'.

Apparently, by [God's System]'s words, the more control she has, the better illusion will be.

So she started with it.

[To create sufficient illusion around yourself, you first need to 'Imagine' a layer of [Light-Power]'s barrier surrounding you, and then you have to imagine it reflect an appearance you want 'the barrier' to take.] Was what [God's System] wrote.

It sounds quite simply, but it's even more complicated than create a large area barrier around whole apartment building.

One is simple but large with basic 'needs' you want it to have.

Other one is small 'but has too many details'.

It took her one hour, one hour so she can place that [Light-Power] barrier around herself and to carefully make it 'move as along as she moves'. It was difficult.

But she has to do it, and she only has 'today' for it, tomorrow is School day after all.

After carefully 'creating the barrier' around herself, delicately.

She imagined it.

She imagined a 'reflection' coating that same barrier.

A reflection of a young man, european features. Blonde hair, pale skin, emerald eyes.

But, as expected. First try was not successful. 

Alex created something, but that illusion looked like 'thin as stick' instead of a healthy young man. And it took her several minutes to create 'thin as stick' failure.

So she tried again.

Next one looked like fat version of 'Proto Arthur'. 

But then [God's System] gave a valuable advice.

[ [User] should first rest for an hour and clear her mind first. After that she should try and imagine exactly the same 'appearance' by 'pulling' the frame from her memories.] Was [God's System] reply, and Indeed Alex rested for an hour first.

Then she tried that. She imagined her 'Barrier' like it was a 'folder' then she concentrated on her memory 'and pasted' the appearance of 'Proto Arthur' into 'folder'.

And then, Alex opened her eyes and looked at her hands. 

She gasped.

What she saw was 'incredible!'

She clearly saw her palm, her feminine and delicate palm. But 'above' the palm she was it.

She was another 'outlier' just slightly above the skin is a layer of barrier, reflecting the 'appearance' she choose.

But it's also 'transparent' like.

Screen shifted.

[ Only [User] will be able to notice 'transparency' of your 'skin'. But the illusion is not perfect, whenever someone 'touches' you, your 'second skin will glitch' for a nano-second, showing something beneath it. And the Gods of Illusion and Magicians specialized in Illusion or those with Blood-line Magics with Illusion will be more than capable to 'notice' it.]

Alex read the message, she understands it.

This is first 'illusion' she created, and she is cetainly no 'god of illusion' she still think of herself as man and more-over as a Human.

Even with all that incredible power, she still see herself as a Human...

It's only natural, she supposes.

For the meantime, she decided to walk towards the bathroom, she wants to see her own appearance from the reflection.

Just yesterday, she wanted to punch that mirror, to crush it, she hates it will all her passion.. But today... She just wants to get over this.

And wants to reclaim what she lost, just this Illusion would help Alex to reclaim some of her identity.

She entered bathroom and immediately turned towards the mirror.

And then she saw it. Arthur Pendragon from Fate/Prototype in all his glory.

She twisted her arms, she moved them. She flexed them.

Reflection did the same.

Then she touched her face.

Reflection followed.

She sighed, reflection sighed.

Satisfied, she exited the bathroom before walking towards her bed. Then followed by pulling her 'bag' and taking out a book and note to finish her homework.

Even if she was turned into a woman, even if she was turned into Goddess in anime world. It doesn't matter, she will finish her homework first.

Then get some rest, and go for shopping.

Thankfully she has little bit of money remaining, she needs to buy 'feminine clothes' And also buy bra too.

Bra, she will need to wear it. 

That's horrifying! How is she supposed to explain to women working in clothes stores that she doesn't know her sizes and will need them to check it!

Ah embarrassment!

If Lucifer himself doesn't rise from the grave to strike 'New Goddess of the Bible' then embarrassment sure will!

She facepalmed. It's either wear bra, or run an let gravity shows the world her well developed bosom. And that's even more horrifying with all perverts like Issei walking around!

She is in ecchi anime after all.

"Sigh, I just want to get this over...Michael huh.." 

She didn't know yet, but her calling 'Michael's name' without barrier will have it's own consequences eventually.
