The Rise Of Calamity

2 WEEKS LATER

After 2 weeks of me just practicing magic over and over again I decided it was a pretty good time for me to have some practical experience. I am now finally done with the etiquette classes and gave my big a*sed teacher a huge hug for all the help she had given me over two years. Normally she wouldn't take people under the age of 5 but she was happy to find out that I was more intelligent than those my age. After finally being done with those classes all I would do all day was stay in my room because I'm not allowed to get out.

My dad seemed pretty pissed at the punishment but I told him that I don't mind. I would follow the same routine as I usually did when I was grounded. Train, talk, train, relax with Aroura and then train until the next day. Now however that I had mastered suing gravity magic on my self to increase and decrease weight, I decided it was time to learn how to fly since floating was already something i knew how to do.

Gravity field would simply make an area around me less effected or more effected by the gravity of the planet making it a pretty useful body strengthening method. My muscles had become so dense that I'm pretty sure that I could break a boulder with my grip alone. I keep having to use gravity magic regularly because I'm a little too heavy for my size and I don't want to put dents on the wood under me whenever I jumped.

Today however, I had decided to go on a little camping trip for the next few days. I don't want to give Aroura and my father a heart attack while I'm away so I decided to write them a letter that said

"going out for a few days! Don't mind me just a little hunting trip. I'll be back in 3 or so days! Love you dad, Aroura, mom XXX"

I wrote the letter to both Aroura and my father before leaving them on their desks or on their tooth brushes. Also left one under my pillow just in case they don't see the first one.

That night I used gravity field to make myself completely silent and weight as much as a feather while moving around the house and leaving. My Grandma had already needed to leave since it was spring now and she had work to do, meaning she didn't need to get a letter.

I walked out of the house silently and started to run towards the forest while putting my trench coat on. My plan was to go to the forest for a few days, catch as many preys as I can and sell half of them before eating the rest. The animals and beasts would make excellent test subjects for my magic. On the plus side, there is a few magics that I will have to test in the forest rather than at home while I could go to the lake in the middle of the forest to practice both water and fire magic.

I had a few new magic spells that I had wanted to test out but was too scared due to the fact they might destroy our house in one fell swoop. Our house didn't really have any magical protections meaning any amateurish use of magic would cause havoc and maybe even kill someone on accident.

I started to sprint at full speed towards the forest going at 55 Mph (88.5 kph) while exerting the gravity field around me to make me lighter. A few minutes of running later, I reach the entrance pf the forest which I when I use the air element to conjure a win a wind to push me while I become weightless. This was simply my own version of flying magic that I had created to give me higher versatility.

I swiftly increased my altitude and landed on a large tree branch before hopping from one tree branch to another.

Right now I have to be careful for any large animals or beasts. I haven't tested how well I can use magic against beasts nor do I have any experience in fighting them. I know this is the point of the whole trip but I still have to be careful. A bit of experience simply is not worth my life and since I don't know if I will be revived another time if I die, I'll try my hardest to avoid such outcome.

As I quickly scouted the area using both my enhanced eyes and my soul flame vision with my soul flame awareness to find if any animals were nearby, I saw a few animals here and there yet they were all too small. There were a few squirrels here and there while a few rabbits hopped on the ground.

I swiftly took out my knife while conjuring some air around me to completely hide my scent and to negate any sound that I make from reaching the ears of any animals. I made myself nothing but a gust of wind and with my nullified weight the chances of them feeling my presence was nigh impossible. I plunged into a shadow behind the rabbit before moving behind trees to cover.

When I was within a 10 meter radius of the rabbit, I lunged towards it while making sure to not let any sounds reach its ears. The moment the rabbit realised it had become prey to me, it was already too late. Before it could even squeal I used my 11 inch knife to decapitate it. I didn't really need food since breathing in elemental particles would have a 17.5% efficiency in absorbing those elemental particles into my body. Breathing was more time consuming but it worked. For all I know, I don't have to eat another day in my life as long as I can breathe elemental energies into my body.

Not only would it fill my body with energies to use for the super gravity particles, but it also gave me all the needed nutrients while strengthening every tissue fibre in my body. My wounds would heal in mere seconds while imperfections like scars and blisters would be deleted before they even showed up. The growth of my body was also impeccable! I am 4ft 3 at barley 5 and a half years old. I have the strength of a rhino with every one of my punches and move as fast as cheetah while on land.

Once I killed the rabbit I used wind magic to skin it to the best of my ability, removed all the parts I didn't want and buried them and finally using a flame that I had turned a pale blue colour by producing a higher concentration of oxygen at the flashpoint. I used the flame to cook the rabbit inside and out by using some heated winds to cook the whole rabbit equally.

I did realise when I killed the rabbit that the soul flame of the rabbit moved into my arm before going through all my arm nerves and going straight towards my soul flame. The feeling was disgusting yet energizing and made my soul flame a little brighter. Just a little. Barley a speck.

For what had happened last time I killed an animal and even this time I can say that soul flames taste like sh*t. They do have an energizing feel to them when they are absorbed but I'm not sure if it is worth the effort. It's like drinking one of those remedies that taste like crap but actually work so you take them no matter what because you know it is good for you.

Anyway, damn did I waste my past life. This feeling of being free is amazing! Coming to the forest feels like I had come home after a world war or something. I didn't really feel it before because Granny was still with me but now I feel amazing. Man, I should have hiked more! Oh well. I can hike in this world, there isn't much of a difference anywa-... Seems like my food likes to come to me.

I jumped out with enough force to go up around 50 feet in the air before grabbing onto a branch. I weighed less than the rabbit I caught right now so it was quite easy to jump that high.

I looked towards the soul flame that I had perceived trying to sneak up on me. The soul flame wasn't yellow like a humans, not purple, nor orange like an animal, but rather it was red. The flame burned with intensity and so much beast like fury at every flicker that it looked more like a firework than a flame. The flickers didn't stop me from seeing the large flame within the beasts body and its dark blood red colour.

Well, seems like I found my test subject hehe

I held my hand up in a pistol hand sign towards the the head of the beast. It looked like a fox with teeth big enough to make a knife and a body half the size of an elephant. Instead of an orange fur, it had fiery red fur that looked extremely unkept. It had two tails probably both as big as my body. Its eyes were fiery red with black slits in the middle. While it looked up you could see its magnificent ears and huge nostrils. It had a black mane with streaks of red. Its entire body seemed to resonate with the fire element as its entire body was exuding fire elemental particles like no tomorrow.

I could see a small mana clump on the right side of the chest where a second heart could have been if we didn't have just one heart. It was filled to the brim with fire particles which pulsed within the body of the fox with enough energy to boil water.

When the fox opened its maw, I knew what was coming so instead of standing still I conjured an ice spear and threw it down the throat of the fox to plunge into its insides. The moment the spear got close enough I had already moved and conjured a sniper air bullet in front of my index finger.

Fire started to spew out of the fox's maw towards where I previously stood. The ice spear melted and boiled in a split second before turning into humid gas.

HOLY F*CKING SH*T! THAT ICE SPEAR DISAPEARED FASTER THAN THE RABBIT I ATE!

I shot at its legs due to the rest of the body being hidden by a huge tree that the fox just happened to be behind. I shot at the leg while making another sniper bullet on my left index finger to shoot into the fox's chest when it reacts to the pain.

To my surprise, the sniper air bullet went right through the leg before hitting one of the toes of the other leg. The moment the fox felt the pain surge through its back legs it was already too late. it had reacted to the initial shot and moved his body and neck backwards giving me enough in my line of vision to shoot right at its head rather than its body. My bullet left my left arm with a loud bang before reappearing in front of the fox's eye and piercing its' brain in less than half a second.

Damn! I wander what I can do with the mane of a fire fox... that would have made a really good pun back on earth. First though, I must assure my own victory! The soul flame is still there but I guess that's only expected, the mana is completely unregulated and might go haywire any second now. I have to decapitate the head from the body, only then will I trust myself to have actually killed that thing.

I walked towards the fox before making my short sword big enough to decapitate the dead of the giant fox in one swing. Blood spurt out everywhere while the soul flame that was still there dispersed before going into the arm I used to kill the fox. It used my veins to coarse through my body and reach my soul flame where it was eaten whole. My soul flame flickered in joy while I felt a a sense of nourishment go through my entire body.. The feeling wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either, yet it gave a relaxing feeling, as if i had been starved for days and finally eaten.
