Chapter Text
IT WAS ALMOST A PEACEFUL night for the h/c haired girl who's walking alone on her way home under a sky tainted by the dark blue sky. the calming light illuminated by the moon, trees and plants dancing along with the cold winds and a deafening comfortable silence of the summer nights.
it was almost a peaceful night for you if it's not only for your headache and the feeling of nausea and vomiting because of the constant stress from your school activities these past few days, and a forgotten lunch for this day.
with your lidded eyes and exhausted body, as if you were a dog-tired who kept on yawning. you've just wanted to lay down on your bed and sleep already but you still need to walk minutes long to arrive at your destination.
you stopped when you felt that your headache got worse, feeling that you would pass out any moment. when you opened your eyes to proceed on walking home, something caught your attention. it was a glowing and floating book in front of you.
amused and shocked at your view, you slightly shake your head. thinking you were just hallucinating.
'hello??? we're already in the 21st century and magic doesn't exist in this world, if ever, you are just hallucinating.' you said to yourself.
you closed your eyes once again and continued to walk and shrugged at the idea of the glowing and floating book, but little did you know that there was a medium rock in front of you which caused you to trip and fall to the ground.
accepting your clumsiness, you embraced the impact and waited to land yourself in the ground but seconds had passed and you didn't feel any impact. you opened your eyes only to be surprised by your position, you were frozen in a halfway falling position without feeling anything.
you blinked many times with a shocked face. soon enough you suddenly fall to the ground, luckily you are ready. still shocked at what happened just seconds ago, you wandered your eyes around to see something that made you like that but only to catch the magical book at your left side.
"i'm going crazy." you murmured.
before you could even stand up, a sudden change of gravity happened which caused you to fall and a sudden change of surroundings occurred. you were now falling in an infinite place filled with billions of shining stars as if you were really outside the planet ─ lost in the universe around millions of galaxies.
and the next thing you knew, you passed out.

awaked by the sudden rays of sunlight and a poke on your cheeks, you still don't want to open your eyes because of the comfort brought by the soft and fluffy bed.
but when you realized what happened before you passed out, you opened wide your e/c eyes and wandered around the place. only to be greeted by an unfamiliar room and a tall middle aged man with his short messy blonde hair, purple eyes and the notable features of a blue six-pointed star on the left side of his forehead.
on top of everything, his long red robe with white fur decorated with a gold necklace and a couple of medals and on his upper torso that covers his entire body that stands out.
awe-struck in your position, you realized that the person in front of you was very familiar to you. before you can even utter a word, the man introduced himself.
"i'ts nice to meet you young lady, i'm julius novachrono."
you were petrified in your position after realizing that the man in front of you was the person you admire from your favorite anime series; black clover.
a sudden realization hit your head. "wake up y/n, you must be dreaming. you shouldn't have watched too many movies last night." you said with eyes closed while slightly hitting your head convincing yourself to wake up.
"u-uhm..." a voice interfered with you, a sign that you are really not dreaming.
you slowly opened your eyes, trying to see if it's all real and you're not dreaming or hallucinating. you unconsciously slapped your face and you immediately felt the sting of pain caused by it. not satisfied with it, you slowly tried to touch the middle age man's long red robe only to feel how silky and soft it is.
"holy shit." you accidentally cursed which caught the middle age man off guard but he immediately shrugged it off and laughed at what you spoke.
"didn't know you are able to speak that vulgar word without hesitating nor being ashamed for people hearing it from a young lady like you." he said. "but forget that, how are you feeling now?" he added.
you were still in awe but immediately shrugged your amusement and tried uttering a sentence. "i am feeling better now sir, thank you for your kindness and concern but may i ask you a question?"
"oh. sure thing, go ahead."
"what happened to me?" you asked, only to receive a confusing look from the wizard king. but nonetheless, he answered it too. "i saw you falling from the sky hours ago, you look pale and unconscious so i brought you here to my house. may i ask why are you falling from the sky?"
"falling?" you asked confusingly and thought about what could possibly have caused you that, then you remembered falling in that universe-like dimension and these memories lead you to a lot of theories and hypothesis in your mind.
"oh my goodness! how could it possibly happen for me to be here? I'm freaking confused about what's happening! why am i even here when i have no magic? this is just a freaking anime. what the hell is happening to me?!" you blurted out and put your hands on your chin, clueless and confused at what really is happening to you.
"you have no magic? but i sense an immense mana from you. and why are you asking yourself why you're here?" the wizard king spoke at your sudden outburst.
"me? immense mana? bu-" you put your hands on your mouth making a shocked face.
"HOW THE FUCK DID I EVEN GOT HERE AND SUDDENLY HAVE AN IMMENSE MANA?!" you suddenly shouted.
"my~ my~ calm down, young lady. can you enlighten me on your situation and tell me what happened?" julius asked you softly while awkwardly laughing at the sudden swear words that came from your mouth.
you suddenly felt embarrassed by the sudden outburst of swear words so you immediately bowed your head.
"oh! forgive me for my sudden outburst, i just can't believe this shit is happening to me. but to tell you the truth, i am not from this kingdom. i actually originated from the planet called earth, wait, is this also called earth? nevermind, it is very similar to this kingdom but the main difference is our civilization is hundreds of years advanced from this; we have improved buildings and structures, we have discovered a lot of things inside and outside our planet, and also, we have advanced technologies..." you explained and his eyes started glowing in interest.
"... but a place where magic don't exist." you added which gained a confusing look from him.
"ahh, how do i explain it from the start? neither am i don't have any idea and i'm confused on how I got here. i'm just walking alone when suddenly, a glowing book showed up infront of me. then I thought i was just hallucinating since magic doesn't exist in my world so i ignored it but then clumsiness struck me, i tripped but later on i realized that I didn't fall. only to see myself froze in a halfway falling position."
"then seconds had passed and I finally fell, but the next moment, the place changed as if I was falling in a dimension filled with millions of galaxies and then i passed out and i woke up here!" you explained without pausing or stuttering.
julius froze for a minute, trying to understand what you just explained. sooner, he was able to understand what you just explained but he remained clueless on how you get here and how such a powerful mana resides within your body if you came from the world without any magic.
"i was able to understand what you explained but your world piques my interest, would you mind telling me?" he asked with his shiny and sparkling eyes and you chuckled at his action.
'him being interested while having those cute shiny eyes looks better in person.' you thought.
without hesitation, you told her some things about your world which prove your hunch right that he was really interested, no scratch it, he was badly interested to know it. the talk lasted for more than hours, him asking for unfamiliar but interesting things and then the topic turned into anime.
and you hesitantly but honestly told him the truth. that in your dimension, everything about their world is pure fiction; created, written, drawn, and animated by your fellow humans. and that truth made him fall into silence and froze in his position.
"u-uhm... but there's a lot of strange and extraordinary things happening to every world. our universe is full of certainty and uncertainty, we haven't discovered everything yet." you broke the silence and genuinely smiled at the middle aged man.
it was a long moment of silence until the middle aged man heaved a sigh, still processing all the things you've explained and told to him. especially the thing that they are just anime that was written and created by a person.
"you said a book glowed in front of you last night, right?" he suddenly asked you and you nodded in response.
"it could be your grimoire, which it's usually received when a person turns 15. i assume you are at that age." he explained, which made you gasp.
"can you try summoning yours?" he asked with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"h-how?" you asked back.
"hmm.... try concentrating and feel your grimoire." he replied which you immediately followed, soon enough, a glowing book appeared in front. and you couldn't believe what you are seeing, you are just a mere human without any powerful magic or a protagonist of a story.
but nonetheless, you grabbed your grimoire and closed it, and once again, shock was written on your face once you saw the front cover ─ a four leaf grimoire. neither you, didn't expect that you'll get a four leaf grimoire, never in your life you expected it.
you heard a sudden gasp and you instantly knew that it was the wizard king with his sparkling and shiny eyes. knowing that first to have a four leaf clover grimoire was the first wizard king who's a light mage.
you chuckled at the thought of his first time seeing a mage with four leaf clover grimoire, but then you remembered a specific person who had also a four leaf grimoire. and that's none other than yuno, a wind mage user who also possessed an immense mana and great power.
"can I borrow your grimoire?" the wizard king immediately asked you with a glint of excitement on his shiny eyes which made you laugh while giving him your grimoire.
the wizard king slowly touched it's front cover, touching as if it was a trophy that needed to be held so carefully. then he slowly opened its front page, he read what was written on it and his eyes grew wider.
"why?" you suddenly asked.
"your magic..." he muttered which caused butterflies on your stomach, nervous at what possibly your magic is.
"you have two magic attributes, and it's a time word magic." he said that truly made you shocked.
