《Dark Mage in the Modern Society》 1. Waste of space once more. On a strange planet that was clearly different than earth a strange magician could be seen wearing a dark black and red cloak, he was facing off against a monumental in size stone titan. "You really think as a human you''ll be able to defeat me? I am the guardian of Fate itself!" The titan yelled out as it swiped its hand at the magician "Really? When have I been susceptible to fate? I am Sin V! I follow my own path!" The magician replied as he sent a dark orb at the titan! The titan crushed the orb and sent out a few golems from its body to attack the magician, they all grouped up and were preparing a rush at the magician! The magician laughed and said "What are these underlings going to do to me?" He then sent out a torrent of black lightning at the golems, vaporizing them all instantly! "Fool! That was a distraction!" The titan screamed as it sent a magic that had fate itself threaded within. "Spell of Reincarnation!" The Magician used his last ditch effort to escape with his life, he hadn''t expected that the titan knew fate magic! Only gods were supposed to know things of that nature! The magic struck the magician and his body''s life ended there, as his soul traveled through limbo until it reached its destination. ====== ====== Back on earth a young man could be seen in a classroom studying a textbook, he was at first glance around 16 years old. He had short black hair and wore glasses, he was 5 foot 2 and was always bullied. This man was named Mark. A muscle teen got out of his desk and walked to Mark''s and said "Hey Mark, make sure you do my homework too!" As he said this he through his papers in Mark''s face and laughed as he walked out of the classroom. ''Why.. I''m sick and tired of this.. I''m always going everyone else''s work!'' Mark internally shouted as he got up out of his desk and rushed to the door. His bottled up feelings were exploding inside causing numerous internal pains.This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. "Mark! Mark! Where are you going?" A voice shouted from within the classroom he had just left, it came from another of his bullies, Dylan. Mark stopped at the door and looked at Dylan with tears and said "I''m done, you guys can beat me up every day, force me to do your work, and no one will bat an eye!" Mark then rushed to the stairs of the school and ran up to the roof, Dylan ran after him. "Mark! Don''t do anything too stupid!" Dylan shouted, he really only cared that people would talk and attempt to say that he was bullied to suicide, he didn''t truly care about Mark''s life. "Stupid? What would you understand! You''ve only ever tormented me and never once understood how I''ve felt!" As Mark screamed this out he climbed the fence to the edge of the roof and was looking as if he was going to jump. It was a particularly windy day as well. Students heard the yelling and began to gather, both on the roof, watching from the windows, and on the ground. "Mark, don''t jump okay? Listen we won''t pick on you anymore!" Dylan shouted, he didn''t want to be the reason for a death, his reputation would plummet! ".. Do you truly mean that?" Mark looked in Dylan''s eyes, you could see the pain within them. "Yes now come over!" Dylan replied with a faked pained expression on his face "Okay I''m getting down!" Mark replied, he carefully was climbing up the fence again but as soon as he was going to climb up a gust of wind hit him.. he was knocked off the roof! All the students watched in horror, many gasps and screams could be heard. Dylan was elated, he would die and it wouldn''t be his fault either! ''Am I.. really going to die like this? Without achieving anything and in constant pain? What''s the point to life!'' Mark thought of many things as his life flashed in his eyes, he thought of his parents, of the torment, of his mother''s death. He then, hit the ground. As soon as he hit the ground his head exploded into a bloody mess and all the students were screaming to the teachers, soon enough the police were called. As Mark''s soul was being transferred to the After Life he heard a deep voice that exuded confidence. "No.. I''ll make your life worth it. Don''t fret wandering soul." Time then stopped and rewound to Mark climbing the fence, he didn''t fall this time. His face changed however, from a nervous one to one of confidence. Mark''s soul was at peace, he felt as if he could trust this new soul, he left the world thinking "Thank you." ''Hmmm. Where am I?'' Is what Sin V thought as he entered his new vessel from the plane of reincarnation. ''Seems the spell was a success..'' 2. Mana Restoration Part 1 Sin carefully went over the fence and was instantly called to the principals office, he had to run as the students pushed him around and talked about him wanting attention. He didn''t care anymore though. ''I seem to lost quite a bit of power... as well as mana.. it seems my soul has weakened and I need to regain my power.'' Sin was thinking while the principal was talking, why would he care what this random inferior human wanted? "There are quite a few different paths in your life, you understand young man?!" The disgusting principal shouted, spitting Sin in the face in the process. At one point he even slammed the table in repeated succession. Sin bowed a deep bow in order to just finish the conversation and begin his plans and said "Yes, yes principal I understand it wont happen again" He was extremely annoyed and it was apparent on his face. "Go! Don''t let me catch you attempting that stunt again!" As the principal yelled this, Sin was already exiting the room and had closed the door. ''First off, I need to find what type of Mana I have an affinity with in this body.. I need to be sure because unlike the soul with as a storage for mana, the body has the attributes that affect the overall strength one is able to take with certain elements.'' Sin began walking out of the school when he was stopped by an unknown classmate. Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. This classmate was a male of the same grade, he had short brown hair that looked like a rat had chewed a small bit of his nose off, his eyebrows were cut like they were fresh carrots that had been cut on a cutting board. His breath.. his breath! It smelt as if he had decided that for the rest of his life he''d only eat farts and never brush his teeth, and when he did it with was a strange sludge! "Hey Mark! Its me, James! I thought we were going to walk together buddy?" The disgusting child said with a grin, this grin looked very sly due to the fact his head was naturally shaped like a rat''s. Sin walked on, not wanting to smell the putrid stench that should have never been let loose out of its containment zone! "Hmph, you really dare to ignore me, really Mark!" The rat kid, James said. He was currently flailing about and making a scene in Sin''s direction, students in the windows began to stare when he was spitting in the air and swallowing it, assumed to be an attempt to impress Mark. ''What kind of useless vessel have I obtained? This kid Mark was seriously best friends with this guy? Sin began to circulate the last bit of his mana in an attempt to escape from the situation he was currently entrapped in! As he began to run with his improved legs James was screaming at him, he ignored him completely because I mean, what would it be about that''s important to Sin anyway. James had yelled "Remember to stay away from your house today! The debt collectors will be coming! 3. Debt Collection ''First off.. I need to make my way to Mark''s house.. Thankfully I was sure to analyze his soul before it disappeared and I was able to make out a few things.'' Sin was thinking about his plans while he walked towards what he believed to be Mark''s house. ''I need a sure fire way to regain my power, I think that the Soul Devouring skill is a bit much for right now and too showy... I know, I''ll first start creating a mage tower..'' As Sin was in the middle of deep thinking with a serious look on his face he was interrupted by a shady looking man in a black suit, he was kind of tiny but had an extremely pointy noise. "Mark! I''ve been looking all over for you! Your debt has been due for months!" The man shouted out, this was clearly a loan shark. "It appears.. I need to make it known that we are not ones to be messed with.." The loan shark said this with a smile and quietly. He then used his fingers to motion for 8 men to enter the street, they all had bats, knives, and one even had a nail gun! "I see.." Sin said as he looked at each one. He wasn''t worried, he''s a master in many different martial arts for if he ever ran out of his mana, he was prepared.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. All at once the thugs rushed at Sin but he was dodging every bat swing, every knife stab, he even dodged a nail that went right by his head! He hit them in their faces but due to the body physique of Mark there wasn''t any damage. The entire fight was the thugs just attempting to land a hit on Sin but were never able to! The Loan Shark''s mouth was agape, he couldn''t believe it! When he lends out loans he ensures he does a thorough background check and never saw that Mark was this outstanding! After an hour of this "fight" the thugs just passed out from exhaustion. The man was clearly sweating and was worried, he pulled out a gun and said; "You pushed me.. give me my money or die punk!" The man''s grip on the gun was shaking and he was close to squeezing the trigger! "Money? You''re not qualified to rob me!" Sin responded with confidence, he then used some of his magic, he had no mana and was forced to use some of his blood as a catalyst, he enhanced his physical abilities to the maximum! *BOOM* The man shot the gun directly at Sin''s head! Wheezing as he pulled the trigger but to his surprise Sin had dodged the bullet, and redirected it with just his hands towards the loan shark''s head! He was then killed, just like that. "Hmph. Trash like you can''t hope to even think of beating me." Sin stepped over his body and proceeded to walk into his ransacked house. 4. School Mana When Sin entered his house he was met with an alcoholic odor and sure enough, Mark''s father was passed out on the couch with beer bottles everywhere. The rest of the house was a mess because it was ransacked. Sin carefully made his way through until he met Mark''s Room. Sin sat down on Mark''s bed and began to think to himself ''This world seems to have evolved via technological enhancements rather than magic.. it seems the Void Rift hasn''t arrived yet.. They''ll be unprepared when it does. Thankfully, there''s enough technology for my Mage''s Tower, but I need a strong monster core to operate it.. where is there a monster in this world?'' Sin got up after cleaning Mark''s room up a bit. He changed into a different pair of clothes because he was still wearing his school uniform. He walked out of his house once more, originally he only came here to see the living status Mark had. It was currently now night outside, with a cool breeze that penetrated most people''s bodies. ''Mana Sense!'' Sin activated a spell, it was a low cost one that could be activated without any mana. It allowed the caster to see the largest amounts of mana directly with his eyes.

The largest mana seems to be coming from the school, is there something that Mark didn''t know about?'' Sin was very confused and went in the direction of the school The walk there was pretty normal, to most it would be extremely cold and would just go back inside, but Sin was used to adversity. He walked to the school without a care in the world, until he finally reached the doors leading in. ''It seems the mana is acting up in my classroom!'' Sin rushed up and opened the door, he was surprised. 9 of his classmates including James were against the walls with a giant spider web keeping them there! They were completely unconscious. Above them was the culprit.. It was one of the girls from class, her head was large with 8 eyes, she had blonde hair and her body was that of a gigantic spider''s! ''Interesting.. thought the Void isn''t here.. the Demons are.'' Sin thought to himself "Good.. good.. more food for me!" The spider said in a deep voice and lunged at Sin! "You just made a huge mistakes, lowly demon! I am your Supreme Leader! Though, I suppose you would have no clue!" Sin had a strange look on his face, he was both angry and annoyed at the same time. 5. Collected Sin dodged the lunge that the spider attempted, he quickly cut a mark in his arm for blood and took some and drew a seal on the side of the spider''s body, the spider noticed and tried to attack to where he dodged, Sin simply laughed and jumped behind the spider! "Really. You think you can catch me with a speed like that? Sorry my reactions are top class, you trash." Sin began to laugh at the spider which only made it angry, it screeched at him and tried to shoot out a poison, when Sin dodged it the poison hit James! "Tch. Really. You can''t injure me so you have to injure others? No playing around anymore!" Sin screamed out, he didn''t personally care for James, but Mark did. "Soul Devour!" Sin screamed out and went to where he painted the seal, he put his fingers inside of it and twisted, causing immense pain to the Spider. He then pulled out the embodiment of Malice inside of the Spider''s soul and it screamed in agony, until it stopped. Suddenly, the spider was no longer screaming at Sin and instead turned into its human form and was crying. You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. "What am I doing? I''m.. I''m just so hungry!" The woman fell to her knees, shaking. She just now realized all that she had done. "I see. You aren''t a true demon. I will protect you, and I will help with your nourishment. You no longer need to kill, I''ll take care of it. Just as long as you swear loyalty to me!" Sin said staring down at her with extreme confidence and the look of a god staring at an ant. "I.. understand." She replied with a look of shame and confusion, she couldn''t stop staring at the ground. She couldn''t come to terms with what she had done. "I grant you the name of Seva" Sin said, as he said this Seva gained an immense amount of mana! Her eyes lit up instantly, she felt less beaten down. ''There goes the mana I just earned.. at least I now have a tamed demon with a name..'' Sin was pretty sad that he was still empty in terms of mana "Cure the poison you inflicted on James." Sin said with a frustrated expression with a finger pointing at James "I understand" she replied, then dispelled the poison. "For now, stay in your human form and when we''re at school do not contact me. As for after, meet discreetly at my house and I will begin explaining the next steps to my objective" Sin explained to Seva carefully to ensure she understand, she simply nodded. Sin then went to walk more but then stopped and noticed something. ''Interesting.. this James kid has some mana. I''ll keep that in mind.'' He then walked out and left to his room for the night. 6. Jamess Fight The next day Sin had finished ripping the soul out of the loan shark he had killed yesterday. He intended to feed the body to Seva and use the soul for his mana. He would have to wait tonight to feed her the body, for now he had school. As Sin walked towards the school James saw him and ran towards him, Sin was met with an unforgettable odor that wad worse than some of the Demons he had killed! "Hey Mark! I missed you after you ran away last time, what''s up man?" James tried to make idle conversation and as he did so, he kept moving closer and closer to Sin. "Would you mind not getting so close to me? I really dislike it." Sin looked James in the eyes as he said this James began to tear up and moved away and simply said "I understand... buddy." They then walked far apart in silence to school. When they finally reached the school doors Dylan was there waiting with a smug face. He looked as if he thought he owned the world. Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. "Hey Mark, you got my money?" Dylan said with a grin. "Don''t worry Mark I''ll pay it" James said as je reached for his wallet, brought out 20 dollars and gave it to Dylan. Sin just watched this happen and didn''t care, it really didn''t have move to do with him. Dylan swatted the money out of James''s hand and said with a stiff expression "No. I asked him, you just messed up. Meet me after school James, I''ll be waiting" As Dylan left he slapped James on the head and ran towards his classroom. Sin ignored it all and walked as well, James was crying. Sin soon entered his class and the teacher began explaining useless information, well useless to Sin at least. Then the day came and went, until it was the appointed time for James to go see Dylan. ''I may as well ensure James makes it out of this encounter alive.. who knows, may be he''ll actually use his mana... yeah right.'' Sin stealthily hid himself behind a corner near the school doors and awaited Dylan and James''s arrival. Soon they both entered, James began to cry again, he was afraid. He didn''t have anything else to give Dylan and it was like Mark didn''t even care he was his friend anymore. The old Mark would''ve went for James so he hadn''t worried about too much all this time, but it seems its now his turn to be bullied. 7. Trapped. "What do you want with me Dylan?" James asked with his eyes stuck looking at the floor. He felt the anguish and pain within his heart more than usually, before he at least had Mark, but he was now alone. "What do you mean ''want''? I''m just asking for a favor from my best friend!" Dylan replied, patting James on the shoulder. "A favor? What do you mean?" James didn''t believe Dylan for a second, he only ever bullied him and his only friend, why would that change now? Sin was watching with Mana Sense on to see any differences in James but noticed on in Dylan. ''It seems an enhancement spell h beenas casted on Dylan.. He''s more cocky and stronger.. I''ll need to keep more of a keen eye on him.'' Sin said as he stared directly into Dylan, literally into his soul. Dylan pulled out a knife, a blanket, and rope and said "I need you to kidnap the principal, tie his head with the blanket, and his body with the rope. Then bring him to me" Dylan said this with extremely confidence, radiating an arrogant pressure "Are you insane? I''m not going to do that!" James said loudly as he stomped off, he didn''t care if he was beaten up or whatever, but kidnapping the principal is out of question! This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. "That''s fine James. I''ll be seeing you, with rope soon." Dylan said quietly, James shuddered as he walked ''I need to make sure James is safe.. I''ll head home for now and feed Seva. I''ll also finish refining this soul.'' Sin thought to himself as he begun walking towards his house when he heard a noise when he stepped. "What''s that?" Sin was audibly confused and reached down and found a black piece of paper that had the words Angelic written on it in red cursive. ''Interesting.. I''ll keep this for now. It seems to have some sort of mana imbued in it as well.'' Sin thought as he put the paper in his pocket and continued walking to his house. Finally he had reached his destination and when we went inside of his house he noticed the atmosphere was different.. and his trash of a dad wasn''t there. ''Interesting.. they''re trying to fool me and lure me in..'' Sin thought to himself and just as he entered the house the door closed. The entire house was covered in a large barrier and he heard a females voice say "You''ve killed one of my men.. and for that you will pay" The lights then shut off and Sin could send 20 men enter the room, all with mana. "Interesting.. a mere sorcerer dares to entrap me? I pity you.. you have no clue. I am the Dark Mage!" Sin said with a smile, and the men just erupted with laughter "Is this kid retarded? Dark Mage? HAHAHA" Laughs erupted all around "Laughing huh? I''ll change that." Sin said with a straight face, unfazed.
