Thread: Adventures of a Lone Wanderer

This place is just as dirty as I remember it. There's notes, books, and bits of food everywhere. Why don't you ever clean in here? You know if you keep this up, you're going to have rats. Meia said as she lifted up her foot when she nearly stepped on a cheese wedge. She walked over a few books before sitting by the fireplace that was against the wall at the center of the left side of the living room area. As she closed her eyes, she decided to try to get some rest since she knew that nothing could happen here. Alastor had nodded his head toward Reiji and followed him to the next room in which Alastor had closed the door behind him and put a sound proof barrier around the door so no sound traveled out the room they were in. As I was saying before Reiji, the device I was building will, in fact, be capable of housing such an extremely powerful soul but those parts are hard to obtain since that artifact's pieces in this world were damage and some destroyed outright. Now I have restored the pieces that were damaged but the destroyed parts aren't replacable, I'm afraid. Which means you're going to have to go elsewhere to get those parts. Alastor sat down at a table which on the middle of the table was a gold chalice and on top of it was a magical transparent sphere housing parts that seems to be the gears of a clock. They were turning ever so slowly in a pattern and those parts seemed to be locked in place of where they would be if the artifact was completed. Isn't this... Reiji asked as he looked at Alastor which he nodded his head. That's right, Reiji. That's the Gears of Chronos' Time Clock. It's one of the parts that's needed. I need six other different powerful artifacts to complete the finished product entirely. The Soul of Steel, The Key of Chronos, The Fatal Crest, Laegjarn's Amulet, Concordia's Jewel, and the Dimensional Module. All six of those. Their the only thing powerful enough to remake Reiji Maigo. Alastor said with a dead serious look on his face. Wait, my name? You mean to tell me that the artifact you're trying to make is named after me or the other way around? Reiji asked confused. The other way around. Alice named you after the artifact, appearently it was Alice's most powerful item she owned. The reason why you can recieve the energy from the ethereal plane is because she used half of it's power to make half of your original soul. Eventually, that half of the soul completely took over the other half of your godly soul and made you into what she is, an absolute being. Much like Death. What your special talent is...we're trying to figure out. Death is well...Death. Alice is the Alterator of Souls. She can change a soul to be completely different than before...like take a normal human for example. She can change the soul to be a wizard like myself, a god like those in the Celestial Realm or an Absolute being like you, Death, and Alice herself. Also because she can change a soul that drastically, she can also change the features such as turning a girl into a boy and vice versa. She can also turn that same human into an animal, alien, demon, angel...well, you get the idea. She can alter your soul and body into anything she chooses. Now you...we have no idea, we're still trying to figure out. When you got into the realm of the gods, you became the god of fire but you shown that you can use any element you choose with extreme power and control. So, Alice and I might have an idea but this whole thing will show us exactly what you are. when he was finished talking, he was writing everything down. Reiji however was just blinking and it wasn't because he didn't understand even though he didn't. It was because he was all of this and yet he didn't even know it and no one decided to tell him until now. It all went over his head and none of the information stuck to him other than him being an absolute being. I still don't get any of this. It's too much to take in at one time. Reiji simply said. Really? I thought it was simple. You're not a god but something more, something in a whole other league. Alastor said to him. Hmm, I see. Instead of standing around here, why don't we get this done? If I'm going to use my artificial soul, I have to have that device, right? Let's not waste any time, I'm tired of being the way that I am now. Reiji said as he got up from the table. Then let's not waste any time. Follow me to the basement, I'm going to show you a bit of magic that I developed a year ago. It's how I know about these artifacts that's going to help build another device like Reiji Maigo. Alastor picked up the paper he was writing on and stuck it in his pocket. After he got up, Alastor walked to the spot on the wall that was bare. He put his hand on it and mumbled the word. Open . The wall disappeared revealing a doorway and steps leading down into darkness. Alastor looked back at Reiji. Mind giving me some light? he said to him. Reiji nodded and snapped his fingers, a medium sized ball of crimson light came into view in front of Alastor. They decended down the stairs to what seemed like an eternity to Reiji until finally reaching the bottom. What Reiji saw down in the basement wasn't something he would've expected Alastor to have at all. Sure, there were notes, books, and research equipment all over the place. The thing that he didn't expect to see was this huge metal gate at the other end of the room. It didn't look like anything from this world. It was ethereal energy running through it, flowing through a series of locks. The light was fluctuating in different colors each time it went through a different lock. Reiji recognized it but why it was here in this house? It should've been back in the Celestial Realm, it was the Gatekeeper's Universal Gate which was able to go anywhere and everywhere also it wasn't bound to one universe, it could go into mutliple ones. Reiji just stood there looking as Alastor walked over to it and knocked on it. Alright, this is it. No doubt you recognized this. Also no, I didn't steal it. It was a gift, a split copy of the original but still nevertheless, it has the same ability as the original gate. Here, I will input the coordinates of the first place you want to go. Just tell me when you're ready, alright? Alastor said, he took a few steps back then held his hand up to the middle lock. A short beam of energy shot from the lock and that same beam shot from Alastor's hand then they both collided with each other. Both beams intermingled with each other a moment before fading then the series of locks began to open then the door itself spreaded open, shaking the place as the doors split apart. A bright light flashed the room blinding both of them before fading. Since the door doesn't have an actual destination, it's just a door filled with light. Unbelievable...You just surprise me everytime. I don't even know how you manage to do it, I feel somewhat that you're just a male version of Alice... Reiji said as he looked at him. If I were, I wouldn't have trouble getting my revenge on your sister. Now, what artifact do you want to go for first? Alastor asked, he sat down but floated in the air since he didn't have a chair to sit on. I don't know...Why don't you just pick at random? No matter which one I go for, I still have to get them all anyway. Reiji said as he walked up to the door. Good point. I'll just set you a destination and won't tell you. Alastor did just that. He looked at the gate a moment before thinking on where to send him first. Ah! I got it! Alastor said in a bolt of enthusiasm. He snapped his fingers and the light subsided to show a destroyed down, a huge and tall tower then the millions of demons that could be seen on the ground as the gate was high in the air looking down at the ground. Happy hunting, Reiji! Soul of Steel is the first you're going for. Oh, when you do find it, I'll automatically bring it here when the use is done with in the universe you got it from! First stop, Meeting of the Twin Devils. Good luck! Reiji looked at him then he looked at the tower. Deciding not to waste anymore time, his crimson wings flared from his back then dashed into the gate and started falling from the sky toward the ground. He narrowed his eyes trying to see where he was landing. Unfortunately for Reiji, going into a different universe meant taking on the rules of said universe. He felt a very sudden shift in power and appearance. Although he appeared to be human, he was now a half demon and half human. His wings no longer kept him in the air so making an quick emergency landing was his best shot. The landing was still rough, hit the ground like a ton of anvils. He smashed into a building that was nearly getting ready to crumble anyway and he completely flattened it in a huge fireball. The wreakage from the building completely fell on him but still, he felt no kind of pain. First place and...already I hate it. Ugh, let me sleep for a couple minutes... Reiji said before closing his eyes and falling asleep among the rubble. A familiar white hair devil hunter saw the whole thing go down then whistled with a smirk on his face. Don't see that everyday. I wonder if that's someone strong, these lesser demons are kinda boring. Can't really let loose on them. Time to check it out. The man said before walking to the building in the distance. Will write more later in next chapter.
