Reincarnation Of A Swordsman: The Omni Mage

[Welcome to Zekkoa!]

"What's happening?"

[You've received a system and have been reincarnated in another world]

"How? Reincarnation? Did I die?"

[No, Your physical body was destroyed and another was created in which you're currently inhabiting]

'No wonder I feel weaker, though I still feel like myself,' he inwardly said while feeling his body.

[Yes, the created body is exactly like yours]

"Wait, you can read my mind... Oh yeah, you're in my head, I think."

"Why me? And what's this system stuff you're speaking about?"

[You've been chosen by Pyrrhus, god of the Alcyoneus Galaxy]

"Pyrrhus? god?"

[....]

"Hold on! Where exactly am I?"

[New quest: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. Awaken your element]

[Time limit: 7 days]

[Reward: Unlock Status]

"Wait! What happened to everyone at Yurigur?"

"I know we would win the war, but what if..." He started to get anxious as he thought of them.

"I have to return." He said with resolve.

"Hey system, take me back to Yurigur, I don't want any of the power you speak of."

Receiving no response he pleaded. "Please, oh great system, take me to Yurigur."

Just before he could go on his knees, a girl's voice was heard next to him.

"Are you okay?"

Turning his head in the direction of the sound, he took his time to observe his surroundings, something he had not done since coming here.

He appeared to be in what looked like a forest, a dense one as of that. At his left stood a blonde-haired girl, about 169 cm tall, with fair, porcelain-like skin that seemed to glow.

Her striking green eyes was filled with youthful determination, betraying her teenage years. Slung over her back was a quiver full of sleek arrows, while her hands held a finely crafted bow.

Noticing his scrutinizing gaze on her, she tightened her grip on the bow.

"Are you okay?" She repeated, this time raising her voice slightly.

Noticing his scrutinizing gaze on her, she tightened her grip on the bow.

"Are you okay?" She repeated, this time raising her voice slightly.

"You're an indigene right?!! Can you help me go back to Yurigur?? Please!! I'm begging."

"Sorry, but I don't understand what you're saying, neither do I know of this Yurigur you speak of."

'I might not be able to go back, after all I haven't heard of any other life existing in our solar system,' Kyle thought to himself.

Seeing him quiet she asked, "How did you arrive here then?"

"I..."

[Warning!]

[Knowledge of the system is not to be exposed]

'Ha! And what can you do to stop me,' he teased inwardly.

[Nothing]

'Nothing?!! I was expecting a kind of threat or something.'

[But others would kill to obtain it from you]

He shuddered at the thought of his brain being opened.

"You were saying?" the girl asked again. It seemed like she was beginning to get annoyed.

"I remember nothing. I was in my world and Bam! I'm here," he lied.

"That's strange, I've never heard of something of this sort before."

"Follow me, I'll take you to see my mum."

"Thanks!"

'Time to learn more about this world, it might turn out to be similar to my previous world, after all, she was holding a bow and arrow.' Kyle thought as he followed the girl.

As they walked, he told her about Yurigur whilst learning about Zekkoa, turns out this world wasn't a cultivation world but a magic world, one where awakened mages wield elements as a means of attack. Riya hadn't awakened her element yet.

After about 10 minutes of walking, they arrived at a building that had a board saying: Grace's place.

"It's this your house?" Kyle asked while wondering why here looked so declined in technology.

"Nope, It's where my mum treats the villagers," she's a healer, a powerful one as of that.

"Riya, who's the boy with you?" A fair blonde-haired woman stood up from where she sat and asked. "Wait! Don't tell me you finally found a boyfriend."

"Stop it, Mum, it isn't funny, he's just a boy I found, he claims to be from another world but does not remember how he got here," Riya explained.

"Interesting! An alien, I'll try to see if I can help him with his memory," Grace said with her hand on her chin. "Where exactly did you find him?"

"At the forest," Riya quickly replied before realizing her blunder.

"RIYA! WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT VENTURING INTO THE FOREST ALONE?" she screamed.

"YOU'RE GROUNDED FOR A WEEK, YOUNG LADY!!" she added angrily.

"I just went to train at the outside perimeter, I didn't even encounter any mana beast," she pleaded but was interrupted with another order.

"Make that 2 weeks, young lady."

The angry Riya had already left the room making sure to close the door hard enough.

"That girl," she sighed. "She doesn't understand I'm trying to help her."

"Where did you say you came from again, young man? Pardon me, I'm Grace Wood, you are?"

"I'm Kyle, Kyle Lin from Yurigur. Nice to meet you, ma'am," he answered with a bow as a sign of respect.

"Nice to meet you too, Kyle. So, I heard you have problems remembering how you arrived here. Do you mind letting me try to heal you?" she asked him while gesturing him towards the bed.

"Sure," Kyle replied while lying on the sole bed of the room as instructed.

Golden light could be seen around Grace's hand as she moved it through his head.

"Your brain is in good shape Kyle, I'm afraid I can't help you with your memory, though I'd love to hear about Yurigur."

"No problem ma'am."

So he began to explain about Yurigur, hiding the part of an object hitting him.

"I see. You must not expose that you're not from this world to anyone," Grace warned. "In the meantime, you'll be staying with me, I'll close in a few hours then we can head to your new home"

"Okay ma'am"

After which she sat cross-legged as if one was cultivating.

'Woah! They cultivate here too.' Kyle thought with excitement

"What are you doing, ma'am?" Kyle asked.

"I'm cultivating."

"What's that?" Kyle asked. "Is it the same as I usually do at Yurigur?"

"Most likely, we mages improve and regain our mana by absorbing the one found in the atmosphere, though for more concentrated mana, a mana core is used, which is gotten mostly from beasts, but can also be gotten from other living things that use mana."

"To cultivate, you need to have awakened your element. The awakening ceremony is next week, so you're in luck." Grace said. "You're up to 15, right?"

"Yes ma'am, I am"

"Okay, so you and Riya will awaken next week."

'Hmm, that would be nice.'

Soon, Kyle fell asleep. Awakened by the sound of the door, what greeted him was a gruesome sight.

"Madam!! Madam!! Please help us!" cried out a man carrying another whose hand seemed to be chopped off by a beast. And the blood was a whole lot.

Grace had already jumped off her mat and rushed to attend to the man, she seemed unfazed by the sight of much blood, though there was worry written on her face for the man.

Immediately the man was laid on the bed she cast a healing spell on him, this time using dark magic, turns out Madam Grace is the first and only dual elementalst in the town of Frulia. One of the dark and light elements to boast, two extremely rare elements.

Grace used the spell to stop the bleeding, which eventually stopped after 2 minutes of spell-casting. Then she brought out a pebble-shaped object and entered into a trance state, it looked like she was cultivating again. After about 3 minutes, one who looked well enough would notice its diminished size.

She got back up and went to the man, this time using light magic to clot the arm, to prevent infection.

After the process was over, and Grace was done recovering her energy she finally said to the man, "Your fee would be 1 gold coin."

"I don't know how to express my gratitude, Madam. I only have 50 silver coins with me, can you accept this for now? I promise I'll get the remaining 50 no.. 75 to you tomorrow," he pleaded.

"Okay, I'll take that, bring the remaining 50 tomorrow," stressing on the 50 and not 75.

"Thank you, madam! How can I repay you?" he said with tears of joy.

"Don't worry. If he wishes to regrow his arm, you'll have to take him to meet a great mage in the city. Make sure he gets enough rest, and if any problem arises with the arm, you can repay me a visit." With this Grace dismissed them and went back to her mat.

'I learned a lot from this discussion, the most intriguing one being that one could have more than one element, and Madam Grace is surprisingly one of those.'

'Seems like she is a big shot here in Frulia. Also, the currency used here is just like in the Middle Ages; gold and silver, pretty sure bronze should follow in descending order of value.'

'I wonder what elements I awaken, I hope to become a dual elementalist too!'

"Ma'am, is it possible to know what element one would awaken?" Kyle asked expectantly.

"Not any way I know of, and these old bones sure have been through a lot,"

"Old?? You look like you're 30!" Kyle said with surprise.

"Looks can indeed be deceiving, Kyle, as this lady is thrice your age. When one climbs up stages in cultivation, their life span is increased," Grace added.

"Don't get your hopes too high though, 92% of people never awaken," Grace quickly reminded him after seeing the excited look on his face.

Kyle's mood suddenly turned sour upon this revelation.

"Don't be down Kyle, I believe you'll awaken," she reassured him after having given him the sad truth to avoid rash actions in case he fails to awaken.

Eventually, the day ended with no other patients coming to get treated.

"Let's head home! Kyle," Grace called.
