Reading through his status, Harry thinks to himself about some of the things he's seen there, mainly about magic; his Aunt and Uncle always say that magic isn't real, but if this is anything to go by, they are wrong.
"Maybe they don't know about; no, they wouldn't be so insistent if they didn't "they were trying to keep it from me!"
+1 Wis
Seeing the message pop up, Harry is shocked but at the same time happy that he doesn't need to level up to amplify his stats.
The rest of the day passes in a lull before Harry goes to bed and spends his night thinking about what he learned from the system.
After a few hours of thinking, he gets a few quests and falls asleep.

Deciding to focus on the last two, Harry begins doing his best to level up accidental magic deciding to put off endless magic for now as gaining more control would likely be detrimental to accidents.
This comes with a few amusing situations, like when Harry turns his teacher's hair blue or when he teleports to the roof of his school; that one took him a little to handle, but after a few minutes of panicking, he found himself back on the ground level again.
Overall from observation, Harry finds that the more complex the accidental magic, the more exp it yields. It can be spurred forth with powerful emotions and making his emotions erratic.
The best advantage of accidental magic is that when using it, occasionally, a new skill would be unlocked.
It still takes a few months, especially on the last ten levels, but he eventually gets accidental magic up to level 100.
Laying at the edge of the woods next to little whinging, Harry looks at the screen in front of him before letting out a groan.
Accidental Magic has reached max level; it will now evolve.
Accidental Magic [Max] has become Chaos Magic [lvl-1]
Quickly opening the quest menu, Harry relaxes when he sees that the master your magic quest hasn't changed its parameters.
And so Harry jumps back on the grind; it isn't until he's a few days before his eighth birthday that Harry finally manages to get wandless magic mastery up to level 100, unlike accidental magic; however, this one does not evolve when it is maxed out.
When the message for the wandless magic mastery pops up, harry is given all of one second before he feels a massive headache with all of the exp coming in.
When Harry wakes up later in the school nurse's office, he feels alright except for a slight headache; it takes a few minutes for him to be dismissed after he wakes up, but when he manages to get alone, he opens his menu and looks for the reason why he was in so much pain.
It takes him all of two seconds to find the potential cause. The massive influx of exp pushed his level to forty-two and the wizard class from one to one hundred and, in doing so, increased his intelligence stat by ninety-nine.
Tapping on class, another screen appears before Harry, and he gets to work on deciding what class he wants to take and level up next.
While there are a few options available, Harry had decided a while ago that for his second class, he would choose Elementalist as it grants an increase to wisdom each level the class had come available when he had unlocked fire, water, wind, and earth magic.
Locking in the new class, Harry sees his wisdom stat go up one to account for the new class level, and a moment later, his magic surges, doubling in volume.
Closing the screens, Harry leaves only the two quest completion screens.

Reward.
5 Perk Points
Closing the second quest screen, Harry looks at the last screen before him and smiles.
You have Perk points to spend.
Tapping on the screen, Harry opens the perk menu and flicks it down, wondering how far it'll go.
Watching the writing speed past, Harry marvels at just how many there must be, willing it back to the top; he begins reading the text at the top.
Perk points are the individual's potential and can be used to give yourself many abilities that would be otherwise unavailable to you.
Harry reads through the list a little before opting not to take any perks and hold on to the points in case he needs something specific later.
Waiting for the rest of the day to pass, Harry disappears after class and heads off to the park, reaching the playground; Harry looks over to the glowing golden arch he had first spotted a little over two years prior.
Taking a deep breath, he steps forwards and walks through the arch, ready for potentially anything.
Harry had put off entering the arch until now as before when he would use the observe skill on it all that would come up was a bunch of question marks.
Now that he has sufficient levels and stats, he feels a little more confident in his ability to survive.
You have entered the Surrey Zombie instance dungeon.
You will be forcefully removed in 23:59:59
"Huh, zombies" looking up, Harry spots a few shambling around "bugger" thinking fast, Harry uses his elemental magic to raise the ground he is standing on to get himself out of the range of the zombies.
Looking down from his newly created vantage point, Harry watches the zombies shuffling around for a few moments before opting to attack.
Creating a ball of fire in his hand, harry splits it into three pieces and fires them off ar three separate zombies hitting them all.
And the balls of fire hit their targets; Harry watches them fall over before turning to dust and flowing into the wind.
Zombies slain 3/500
You have levelled up.
Seeing the screens pop up, harry smiles and begins taking out as many of them as he can, using his earth magic to build a raised stone walkway to keep himself safe from the zombies.
After several hours of on and off hunting, Harry feels tired, but to his confusion, he doesn't feel himself getting hungry, creating a dome atop the walkway where he can sleep, and zombies can't get to him. Harry lays down and goes to sleep.
When he wakes back up, Harry gets back to hunting the zombies. It's at the 16-hour mark when Harry manages to find and kill the 500th zombie.
Zombies slain 500/500
Dungeon boss spawning.
Hearing what sounds like the unholy combination between a yell and a roar, Harry looks up and sees a large 50ft, tall zombie down. The street "bloody hell."
Raising a stone wall so that the zombie doesn't spot him, Harry begins to think of a plan to deal with it; due to the heavy focus on his magic, Harry decides to go with the tried and true 'hit it hard approach.'
Waiting for a few minutes, making sure not to lose the dungeon boss, Harry lets his magic regenerate before gathering almost all of it in his hand.
Looking at the rippling sphere of magic gathered in his hand, Harry looks back over to the Zombie that seems to have taken notice of the spell, able to sense the danger.
Igniting the magic, Harry fires it at the zombie, using almost all of his remaining magic to raise another barrier.
When the ball of fire collides with the zombie, Harry hears a defending boom before a wave of heat washes over him and the wall in front of him casts a large shadow.
Boss Legion Zombie has been slain.
You have levelled up.
You will be removed from the Dungeon in 4:59
New Quest
[Not in my Town]
Surrey has three instance dungeons; find them all and clear them.
1/3
Reward
50,000
?
Closing all the screens, Harry takes a few minutes to catch his breath while waiting to be evicted from the dungeon.
Sure enough, when the countdown finishes, Harry finds himself in the park again, everything normal, heck everything is as it was when he entered the dungeon.
Looking at his hand, harry sees that he's holding something he wasn't a few seconds, but when he sees it, it confuses him as it seems to be a rusty medallion.
Using observe on it, he finds out it's more than it seems.
Undead Medallion
Rare
It grants the wearer the ability to sense any undead within a one mine radius (not rusty that's a stylistic choice)
Returning to No; 4, Harry collapses into his bed in the cupboard under the stairs, thinking about where the other two might be.
Over the following weeks, Harry discovers that using the correct type of magic can help a magic class level up without actively gaining exp from monsters or quests.
It takes him a few months before he finds them both the first is in the sewer beneath little whinging, and Harry is forced to wade through the dank, dark destroying tiny slimes; it's only when he finds the third that Harry figures out which order they ere supposed to be cleared in when he finds himself running from a magical panther.
Using his magic to reach out, Harry reshapes the trees around him and has them kill the panther.
Panthers slain 14/100
"at least they give good exp" climbing up the trees, Harry begins looking around again.
Hearing the crunching of leaves underfoot, Harry raises a wall behind himself and blocks a potential sneak attack from one of the panthers before a stone spear shoots from the ground and impales it.
Having been in the dungeon for an hour, Harry makes himself a room underground, ensuring he can get air through a few holes and that the Panthers can't get to him.
Calming down, Harry relaxes before heading back up and continuing the hunt.
Admittedly Harry does feel a little bad about killing all of the panthers, but he knows that whatever he gets for completing the dungeon will be worth it, especially with the Quest he received when he killed the Legion Zombie.
It takes him seven hours before he finds and slays the hundredth panther.
Panthers slain 100/100
Dungeon boss spawning.
A roar echoes across the forest right after he finishes reading the messages, and Harry's first thought is 'get underground' which he does just that.
Not even ten seconds later, he hears something quite large crash into the ground, landing above where he is now hiding.
Quickly reinforcing the structural integrity of his hidey-hole, Harry closes his eyes and, using his chaos magic, makes an eye that floats aboveground, giving him a good look at what the boss is.
Dark fur runs across the beast's body with bat ears and wings coming off its front legs and a beak-like mouth. Harry is appropriately terrified "observe."
Nargacuga
Level: 85
"Shit" taking a few deep breaths, Harry tries to get his heart under control "okay, I am not fighting this thing head-on; I gotta find a way to kill it without going up there."
Thinking for a bit, Harry makes his move while the Nargacuga is trying to dig its way to him by making the ground wrap around the beast and spear it through the chest.
Feeling the magic in the earth break when he tries to impale the monster, Harry is glad that he bound it first as he further reaches out and begins moving the trees to help hold it down.
Letting his magic flow freely into the ground between him and the beast, Harry begins to mound the earth again, and instead of spikes, several spears shoot out from the floor and manage to break the skin on the Nargacuga.
While the beast is still alive, Harry has confirmed that he can kill it.
Gathering more of his magic, harry reinforces the spears ad the trees press down on the Nargacuga, managing to impale it on the spears after a great deal of effort on Harry's part as he uses over half his not quite inconsequential amount magic in a single task.
Boss Nargacuga has been slain.
You have levelled up.
You will be removed from the dungeon in 4:59
Feeling the nausea he has begun to associate with bulk leveling; Harry closes his eyes and waits for it to pass.
It takes a minute but eventually, it does just that.

Magic Book
feeling the book appear in his hand, Harry looks at the cover and reads the title "Occlumancy, a guide to defending your mind."
Closing the rest of the menus, Harry lets his body begin to relax, allowing the adrenaline to taper out; after a few minutes, Harry is removed from the dungeon and finds himself sitting in the middle of a clearing with a midnight blue egg on his lap.
"It wouldn't, would it?" Looking at the egg, Harry takes a peek at its information "they would"
Nargacuga Egg
Unhatched.
Would you like to form a familiar bond with the creature in this egg?
[Yes][No]
"well, im not going to say no," pressing the yes button, Harry watches as his magic begins to flow into the egg, forming the connection with the yet unborn Nargacuga.
"Ugh, how will I feed you? I don't want to confront them about magic?"
Heading home, Harry places an illusion over the egg so that no one sees it and hides it in his room.
In time harry discovers that his fears are unnecessary as he can sustain his familiar by feeding it his magic.
After it hatches, Harry quickly checks its gender before deciding upon a name and calling her Nyx.
Much to his surprise, despite its animal nature Nyx displays near-human levels of intelligence, and so Harry decides to teach her what magic he can. And eventually, she manages to gain control over her size and turn herself invisible.
These two skills allow her to join Harry no matter where he goes.
Not long after his tenth birthday, Harry decides to make a move on something he had been putting off for a few years as he wasn't sure he could do it.
But shortly before he turned ten, Harry had developed a new skill Osmose the power to drain magic.
He had seen it on the perk points menu as a bonus to an ability he could get and decided to spend most of his time trying to learn it the old fashioned way.
Placing his hand against the wall of his cupboard under the stairs, Harry grips the magic of the blood wards and pulls.
Feeling the wards resist his call, he purs more power into it and feels them begin to yield as the magic starts to flow into him.
It doesn't take very long before the magic of the wards quickly exceeds what he can handle and his body behind to glow, and after around an hour of absorbing the wards magic, energy flows around him like green fire.
With the wards being drained dry, they collapse without any magic to support their continued activity.
Laying down, Harry takes deep breaths as he tries to get the large volumes of magic that his body can't contain under control.
Forcefully pulling the magic back in, Harry curls up on his bed, and Nyx lays down next to him. Holding his familiar close, Harry eventually falls asleep.
When he wakes the following day, Harry sees that his body still has a slight glow, something easily hidden with a minor illusion.
Opening his status, he begins to sort through his updates, though only two stand out.
[A Mothers Love]
Lily Potter cast sacrificial magic to protect her son. It will protect his soul from harm.
This power will remain with Harry Potter until the day he dies.
(Protection from T.M. Riddle)
[Dense Magic]
The magic within your body is denser than the average; Witch or Wizard.
200% Magic.
Happy with this haul Harry closes both screens and confirms that the rest were leveling updates.
It's only when he looks at how much mp he has that Harry freezes, seeing the number 143,500; he stares at it for a few seconds "well, I guess im never running out of magic. And to think that's half my total."
"Mrow" looking down, Harry sees Nyx waking up "it's all okay, Nyx, my body handled all that magic quite well; thank you for helping me."
"Mrow"
"I know; I'll be sure to consult you beforehand next time."
"Mrow"
"It's okay. I'll be able to hide the glow behind an illusion."
"Mew" walking over, Nyx presses her head against Harry's hand.
Lying back down, Harry placed Nyx on his stomach and takes some time to pamper her while planning what to do next.
It's several months later when Harry makes his move and, using mind magic, enters his mind and finds the piece of T.M. Riddle's soul.
"Hello Tommy, it's time for you to go. You've been in my head rent-free; time to pay up.
Holding out his hand, Harry begins to use Osmose and starts to pull on the soul shard, feeling it come loose and start moving towards him; Harry stops and quickly raises barriers around the writhing black mass.
Feeling the Riddle shard struggle against the barriers, Harry starts a fire within the barrier. Feeling the pain echoing from the Horcrux as well as the sound of its screams, Harry conjures himself a pair of earmuffs.
After a few minutes, Harry stops the fire and finds that while the soul shard is mangled, it isn't dead.
"Hmm, okay, let's try something else. I don't want to absorb you, as you feel all kinds of wrong, maybe if I stab you."
Doing just that, the barrier stretches, and the soul shard is pierced on several sides "more fire", and then it burns again.
When he stops the magic, he again finds the soul shard alive.
Harry spends the next three hours going through different ideas he had come up with to try and kill the soul shard before he decides to try brute-forcing it, calling upon his frankly stupid amount of magic; Harry pushes it all towards the soul shard from all directions.
Pushing in, the magic begins to crush the soul shard; it isn't noticeable at first, but eventually, Harry sees that the fragment is a little smoother than it was before.
As if sensing the threat to its being, the piece of Riddle begins to panic far more than it was before, and the process starts to cause harry a massive headache closing his eyes and gritting through the pain; Harry relies on his other senses to try and make sense of what's happening.
Feeling the soul shard become gradually more compressed, Harry continues to push it in and eventually, he feels it crack. Fighting through the pain, Harry continues to push down on the soul shard
As more and more cracks begin to appear across the soul shard, Harry feels pure energy seep out from within it, untainted and clean.
Reaching out, Harry uses Osmose and begins to absorb the more clean energy, careful to not consume to tainted part of T.M. Riddle's soul.
As he absorbs more and more of the clean part of the soul, the resistance of the more tainted part begins to weaken, and before long, a popping sound echoes within Harry's mind as the darkness collapses and fades away.
In the outside world, Harry's scar begins to bleed as smoke begins to flow out of the scar before disappearing.
Consuming the remainder of the pure soul, Harry looks around his mind making sure everything is where it's supposed to be.
Satisfied, Harry leaves his mind and opens the menu to see what has changed.
[Deal with the soul shard]
You don't want the piece of T.M. Riddle's soul in your body, find a way to deal with it.
Reward.
10,000 exp
10 perk points.
Horcrux Ability Removed.
Skill [Flight]
Seeing the reward from the quest, a smile spreads across Harry's face "I can fly? That is awesome." Getting up for the day, Harry has a skip in his step and a smile on his face; he is so happy that it takes him several hours before he calms down enough to read through the rest of his updates and choose a new class.
Feeling the burst of power that Harry associates with taking a new class, he worries a little about just how much destruction he could cause with the power boost from his now eighth class.
Thinking about what to do next, Harry realises his eleventh birthday is only a few weeks away, and it was the deadline to the first quest he completed.
"I guess all I have to do is wait. May as well continue levelling my skills until then."
