Harry Potter: The Ring Maker

Chapter 28: Eternity awaits



Chapter 28: Eternity awaits

Nick was out of it for the rest of the day and it showed as he would just get lost in thought randomly and it took Harry shaking him to snap him back to reality. Nick couldn't help it as he fell into the trap that was known as philosophy. He was unable to definitively say which was truly a better choice as both had their own problems. See he may regret it forever by choosing either option with only one of those being with him alive to see the world move on without him.-

Unless he cut off all contact with the outside world while immortal there was simply no way to not get noticed eventually. He could take the route that the flammels did by basically broadcasting his immortality once and then wait for the commotion to die down about it before resurfacing. While he may need to deal with the occasional person seeking to take his immortality somehow , by that point he would probably be invincible. Think about it for a moment he would never leave his prime and would only grow more skilled and powerful as time went on because he had all the time in the world to spend learning or experimenting.-

There was a single thing that was incorrect about what the elf had said in that there were in fact several sources of immortality in this world. The flammels had the stone , vampires were a thing that people always seemed to forget about and then there was the nearly infinite ways just pure magic could be used to achieve the same. Voldemort himself took one such path with his horcruxes , though it should be stated that he effectively cut off all paths to improvement as a result. Permanent soul damage is magically crippling and he did it six times removing any hope of recovery.-

As boring as it sounded remaining human meant that Nick could live a nice full life get married , have kids , grandkids and eventual embrace death like an old friend. He would never need to deal with the boredom that came from doing literally everything. The worse thought he had however was that he may eventually become a dark lord just because it was some form of entertainment. Maybe he'd raise a super civilization in secret just to openly go to war with them to pass the time.-

The entire three days passed by before he finally was forced to make his choice and he chose to embrace the change. He knew that even if somewhere far in the future he might turn cruel and evil , NOT taking the option was simply wasteful and he admittedly didn't like the thought of growing old. The sleep he was expecting that night was once again centered around the brown haired elf who had shown up once more. Nick made his choice and the elven man simply smiled and nodded in understanding before blackness overcame Nick. -

'Nothing seems all that different?' Nick thought in confusion but remembered that it was apparently an over time kind of thing rather than a sudden change. 'How long exactly would it take me to go full elf?' he wonder curiously since this was a totally new thing for him. Surprisingly he got an answer from the system.

[APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS FROM THIS DATE!]

'That's right before the events of the goblet of fire then , I can work with that.' he thought calmly. "Until then it's business as usual I guess." he mutters before yawning and getting out of bed to start his day.-

Nick knew he just needed a few more points in order to buy the enchantment from the system shop. As a result he was going to craft a few of his best quality rings to gain more points while also preparing for the nonsense he could expect from Hogwarts. One such ring he crafted out of the gold he got out of a single galleon. This ring was designed to resemble a woven rope and was quite the pain to make for Nick. He ended up having to suck it up and purchase some polishing paste for the ring in order to make it shiny and nice looking.-

This ring was intended for the caretaker since magical orphans like he and Harry had two options in regards to where they go for the summer holidays. The first was with the family of another student so long as the student wasn't muggle born. The second option was the one Nick planned on taking which was an apprentice ship under a successful wizard. Surprisingly very few people chose this option simply because the first put them with their friends. Nick knew that if you apprentice under the right wizard you could learn a lot such as for example , Olivander.
