"Ahhh~," a golden-glowing object streaked across the sky, accompanied by a scream, crashing into an open space by the forest river and creating a crater.
"Ouch, ouch~ that hurts," Zorn grimaced and winced in pain, rubbing his sore body with his hands before propping himself up in the crater, his brow furrowed in confusion as he surveyed his surroundings.
There was a forest, with only a river flowing gently through it. Besides the rustling of leaves, there was nothing unusual. A gentle breeze swept by, and a leaf landed on Zorn's face, finally bringing him back to his senses.
"What the hell, shouldn't I be in my apartment, watching Fairy Tail? And where exactly am I?"
Previously before Zorn arrived on Earthland…...
It turned out that when Zorn was in his apartment, he was struck by a flash of lightning. A thunderous boom struck his apartment building at extreme speed.
Because of this, Zorn learned that souls truly exist in the world. As a result of dying just now, Zorn felt himself float upwards like souls going to heaven. In a daze, he felt a gentle, jade-like finger lightly tap his forehead, and then his body uncontrollably plummeted backward at high speed. A gentle and ethereal voice echoed in his ears: "I am the Goddess of Light. I apologize for accidentally causing your death. As compensation, I will give you a cheat and another chance at life!"
A tiny Zorn in a soul like figure was jumping and yelling in exasperation, vented his frustration to the Goddess of Light until his vision went dark.
Back to the present…..
Zorn arrived in the world of Fairy Tail via falling from the skies and landed in a forest. Remembering what the Goddess of Light said, he cursed the Goddess again.
Sigh…Nothing can't be helped now, I'll just have to live with whatever I'm given…..oh wait, what do I even look like???
Driven by curiosity, Zorn went near the river and stared at his reflection.
Zorn touched his face; it was smooth and tender. He had golden-brown, short, spiky hair, bright, piercing eyes, and a firm nose, undoubtedly showcasing his youthful handsomeness. However, he looked to be only around thirteen years old.
It seems that the current body I am inhabiting is younger than my previous body on Earth. While that isn't an issue, I do get another chance to be young and date cute girls!!!
Back to the serious stuff, the goddess did say I would be compensated with a cheat but did not state where she would send him. Since Zorn's location is unknown at the moment, the next best action would be to find the nearest human settlement.
Following the direction of the stream, Zorn eventually found an exit out of the forest. With a little bit more walking, he arrived at a human settlement, specifically a town. A gust of wind ruffled Zorn's clothes, and with it, the sounds of hawkers' cries, children chasing and playing through the alleys between various houses, and merchants pulling neatly arranged goods in and out of town with their carriages, all entered his ears.
Zorn looked at the bustling town, patted himself down, and found that he had nothing but his clothes from Earth. He looked at the road leading to the town and ran towards it. He also made up his mind that he must start anew in this world and live his own life the way he wanted!
Ever since Zorn arrived in Earthland, he began adapting to his new life in Earthland. At first, the people within the settlement found Zorn's personality unique...Even a little bit weird but that gradually was replaced by a calm and composed Zorn. Strangely enough, Zorn did not have any language barrier like he'd imagined. It was as if Zorn had always spoken the native language of Earthland. Thus, it took very little time for Zorn to adapt!
After adjusting to the way of life on Earthland, it was time for Zorn to leave the town. He thanked all of the townsfolk that cared for him and went on his merry way. It was then Zorn realized that the town was far from his ishgar, therefore it took half of a month to reach Magnolia.
After reaching Magnolia and in front of the Fairy Tail Guild…..
Zorn looked at the banner hanging on the towering building across the street—the "Fairy Tail" banner. Half a month, his journey had finally yielded results. Zorn smiled happily, showing his white teeth, as he looked at the Fairy Tail banner.
Because this was his favorite world—Earth-land, a world full of Magic.
Half a month ago, Zorn learned from a merchant that he was in an ordinary town in the Fiore Kingdom, and only then did he realize that he had truly come to the world of Fairy Tail.
Just as Zorn reached the guild entrance, a blast of ice sprayed out from inside, freezing Zorn, who hadn't even reacted yet, into an ice pop.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there. I also didn't mean to freeze you."
A black-haired kid, with a visible bump on his head from being hit, shirtless and full of apologies, was apologizing to Zorn. Zorn, meanwhile, was wrapped in a blanket, drinking hot tea. Fortunately, Gray's ice was made during play, and he was still young, so the cold intensity wasn't too strong and didn't cause much harm.
"Hahahaha, Gray, you're so stupid. Still trying to be cool? Haha, Erza hit you, didn't she? Hahaha." A group of laughing guild members around them were playfully teasing Gray.
"It's okay. You're Gray, right? Hello, my name is Zorn. In my hometown, there's a saying, 'You don't know a person until you've fought them.' So, we've met today. Don't worry about it."
Zorn took his hand out of the blanket and gently placed it on Gray's shoulder, smiling as he spoke to the slightly remorseful young boy in front of him.
"Mhm!" Gray responded faintly, his expression still a bit downcast, not even caring about the teasing around him.
As they were talking, a pair of large hands suddenly touched Gray's small head, gently ruffling his hair.
"Alright, brat, go play. Let Grandpa talk to this young man."
A short old man said this while retracting his Gigantism Magic, then leaped onto the table in front of Zorn. After sitting cross-legged, he leisurely drank his liquor.
Zorn looked at the short old man in front of him, who was even shorter than himself, with a shining bald head and hair only on the sides and back of his head. He was truly too familiar; this was none other than the Third Guild Master of Fairy Tail—Makarov Dreyar.
"Did you come to the guild for a quest or to join the guild?"
"I want to join Fairy Tail. I want to become the strongest Magician. I heard that Fairy Tail has a Magician who uses Crush Magic and is very powerful. I aspire to be as strong as him, so please allow me to join your guild, Guild Master Makarov," Zorn finished, his gaze firm and confident, with a hint of hope as he looked at the Master before him.
Makarov looked at the sunny and confident boy in front of him. Although he really wanted to agree immediately, he still had to ask if he could use Magic, out of responsibility.
After all, the guild's quests carry a certain level of danger, and ordinary people without Magic power cannot complete them. So, he had to ask clearly to be at ease.
"Come on, release your Magic power. Only Magicians with Magic power can join the guild."
A gentle and ethereal voice then resounded in Zorn's mind: "The cheat I bestow upon you is all of the abilities of the fictional character called, Marine Admiral Kizaru, also known as Borsalino. As for his devil fruit powers, it has been converted to magic.
For the rest, you'll have to experience it yourself."
"Goddess of Light, are you there?" Zorn said in his mind.
The Goddess of Light....did not reply
"Alright, it seems it's just a voice message and I can't communicate," Zorn, having received no response, sighed for a moment before calming down and feeling the warm aura within his body.
As soon as his mind connected with that ball of light, Zorn understood everything. He indeed possessed all the abilities of Borsalino, though currently, he could only utilize about 30% of them. Fortunately, he would automatically unlock 20% more each year, which greatly reassured Zorn.
While Zorn was sensing the ball of light, he didn't notice that his body was radiating a warm, sacred glow from within, like a light that dispelled all darkness.
Zorn's Magic permeated every corner of the guild hall. Some members who were injured from quests found their severe injuries improving, while those with minor injuries noticed their wounds already scabbing over.
Because of this, the clamor and exclamations pulled Zorn's mind back. The light brought by the Magic slowly diminished, and Zorn looked around at the cheering members, feeling very confused and bewildered.
"He has so much Magic power at such a young age? And it's Holy Light Magic with healing effects! Hahahaha, he can join the guild." Makarov felt that Zorn's Magic resembled the warmth and power of the guild's three Super Magic spells.
"I accept! This day forward, Zorn you are now part of Fairy Tail! Now, what color do you want your emblem to be, and where do you want it?" Makarov held the emblem stamp in one hand and a wine glass in the other, gesturing for Zorn to think carefully.
"Thank you Guild Master Makarov! I'd like it to be on my shoulder and golden yellow."
"Good! Great choice!!" Makarov said after Zorn replied. The base of the stamp in his hand flashed, and with a 'splat,' a bright Fairy Tail emblem appeared on the back of Zorn's shoulder.
Gray, seeing a new companion join, excitedly tried to pounce on Zorn but was punched into the floor. Gray kept rubbing his head and yelling in pain.
"Put your clothes on first, you idiot!" Erza roared at Gray, her fists clenched tightly.
"Hello, let me introduce myself. I'm Erza Scarlet, and I use Requip Magic. Welcome to the guild."
Zorn stared blankly at Erza, who had just punched Gray into the floor, then quickly changed her expression and actions to a smile as she introduced herself. He thought to himself, "This guild truly is extraordinary."
Gray quickly climbed up and used ICEMAKE to create an ice slide, interrupting their conversation and proposing a duel with Zorn. Erza's face darkened, her hands tightly clenched, on the verge of exploding. Gray, as if oblivious, unconsciously stripped off his clothes again, jumping around and recklessly using Magic nearby, trying to get Zorn's attention.
Zorn stood in front of Gray, waving his hands, smiling and nervously trying to calm Erza down with one plea after another, while also occasionally reminding Gray to watch his behavior.
Those around them were also watching with interest, hoping to see Erza lose her temper.
Makarov looked at the lively scene in front of him, very happy. He raised his wine glass, "Everyone, let's celebrate the arrival of our new family member! Let's have a drink!" He then gulped down the wine in his glass without waiting for anyone's response.
"Oh~ yay!" Everyone cheered in response, clinking glasses, hooking arms, patting backs, or playfully fighting, creating a very lively atmosphere.
Makarov heartily drank his wine, glancing at the lively scene, thinking to himself, "This is what family is! Hehe."
