Harry Potter: a job in the multiverse

"It's not always the one with the most power who wins."

That was a quote I read somewhere that suddenly popped into my head. I have just one single response to that: if anyone had the power and didn't win, then they simply didn't have enough power.

I believe that if you have enough power, you will win—I mean, what can anyone do to you if you can erase them from existence? —Nothing!! That's right, nothing!! And with that, I rest my case.

I have just proved my point: if you didn't win, then you didn't have enough power. No, seriously, I thought about it, and I couldn't find a way to argue otherwise because let's face it: against overwhelming power, everything else falls short, whether it's experience, luck, or anything else.

Oh, I know that I might change my opinion in the future if I witness something that proves me wrong, but I guess that would be a part of growing up…

Isn't that what living and experiencing life is all about? Allowing our experiences to shape us?

Anyhow, why was I going on a philosophical rant all of a sudden? I don't know.

It was just a random thought that popped into my mind as I watched the very excited Sairaorg dragging Kuisha away while talking about the training routines they were going to do once I completed my part of the deal and installed the gravity wards for them…

Our interaction felt sudden and a little bit abrupt, leaving me surprised by just how easily everything happened, but I shrugged it off. I figured that whatever the reason was, I didn't have the power nor the reason to oppose it—it was working in my favor, so why bother, right?

Yet even that thought didn't put me at ease—it just made me feel like I wouldn't have an easy time like this in the future.

But that too didn't matter now that I am left to my lonesome—so I better start thinking about how to approach the gravity ward situation.

I have a lot of ideas on how to go about it. I could make a stationary magic circle where gravity is higher in its parameters than it is outside. I can also make a ward that makes the whole warded area do the same, but I didn't want that…

This whole thing was started because I wanted to create a gravity chamber resembling that of Dragon Ball , so that's what I will do…

I'll begin by going through my alchemy studies as fast as I can and think of a way to use transmutation to change a room into a gravity chamber as long as I have the material, knowledge, and magic power to do it…

Now all I have to do is start simulating how to go about all of this using my Grimoire while I wait for the new books to arrive…

I think it's time I actually started using my Grimoire at its full potential—now that I have finally allowed myself to settle down.

I need to start doing what my childish pride prevented me from doing a long time ago, which is transferring knowledge from my Grimoire to my mind.

Sure, I could have done that in my previous world too, but that was a matter of pride, a way to prove to myself that I can best any wizard by studying and practicing by myself—I don't know why I thought like that—but I think it was a way to prove to myself that I can actually succeed without cheating?

Now that all the bullshit is out of the way—the truth is that I forgot that I could use my Grimoire that way —sue me…

I took a deep breath, laid down on the couch, got comfortable, and entered my mindscape.

The process from there was smooth; I copied the charms and transfiguration knowledge I lacked first—because I was daft enough to forget to do it before, so I had studied them manually.

How did the process go? Well, it was easy. With the help of my Grimoire, I created copies of the knowledge in the shape of two books labeled "Transfiguration" and "Charms," then added them to the already existing ones….

I didn't need to do anything else; the rest was just an automatic response, which turned out to be a dumb thing to do—relying on automatic response, I mean….

I need to find a better way or to do it slowly, depending on how much information I transfer to my mind at once.

So I can't just dump everything in my Grimoire into my mind at once, huh? My mind still needs to adjust to the knowledge and all that.

The massive headache I had as soon as I was done did not help either, but I couldn't care less, because right now, I was truly experiencing the joy of having intuitive aptitude.

Things just clicked. Small mistakes were noticed and corrected, and I could tangibly feel myself getting better.

This is exhilarating, I should do this with everything

At one point, I had to knock myself out just to rest because the headache was intensifying—it felt like a million ants were walking inside my skull, with half of them taking turns to bite—but that still didn't dampen the elation I was feeling.

I woke up an hour later feeling very hungry, so I went to the kitchen and started cooking. I didn't even wash my face first; I just went straight to the kitchen. A few sandwiches and a milkshake with flavor enhancement later, I felt alive again.

With my headache gone, my stomach full, and my body energized, so I decided, why not practice a little? Feel the changes brought by my newly updated understanding of transfiguration and charms…

After a very productive one-and-a-half hours of practice in which I did different spells, transfigured different things, and cast different charms, I came to the conclusion that I was better.

My casting speed was faster, my technique was smoother, my control over spells was greater than ever, and it made my ability to shift and change spells midway downright fantastical.

I mean, I can now cast a Bombarda spell that can change into a Ticking Charm or a human transfiguration spell midway—it's great.

What the new knowledge gave me was the information about how to alter the energy and spells when they're already out, mid-casting, or how to have control over my magic spell even after casting—and that was just grandmaster-level stuff—it also proved insightful about magical aspects control, spell modification, spell creation, matter alteration, etc.…

This opened up so many new possibilities, especially in terms of group fights and crowd control—can you imagine what would happen if a group of magicians come and attack me together at the same time?—that's where the new insights and knowledge shine the brightest, in group fights where you have to control the battlefield, keep yourself engaged constantly, and diversify your spell use…

Sigh~ today was a very fruitful day…

Now let's continue doing my Sagely duties…

x_

"....."

.

"Okay, okay, fine, I will go out! Just stop pestering me, please!"

I groaned in annoyance—this is one of the most frequent requests Gaia keeps sending my way on a daily basis now…

It has been 10 days since I received the new books from Sairaorg, and let me tell you, creating a gravity chamber is not easy. Oh, don't get me wrong—I already have the runic formations and circles ready. I just need to find a way to keep the chamber from disturbing the local gravity field, environment, etc.…

That was the reason I had him give me more books on metals and other magical materials, which I just received yesterday, and now my Grimoire is doing its job in analyzing and simulating a solution for the problem—maybe a new gravity isolation material? I don't know just yet…

Still, during these ten days, I have been constantly purifying natural energy, which led me to my current problem—Gaia is constantly urging me to go out and try to make friends. "You need to socialize," she said; "it's good for your development," she said…

I still don't know how she keeps going past my domain to convey her message. I know for a fact that most of her authority is sealed alongside her body, but I guess that's the one of the advantages of having a thousands of years of experience, huh…

Anyway, since I owe her, I decided to go out and make friends—like she told me to—even though I really don't need them, it's not like I am going to live in this world for long, but who can reason with a primordial? Definitely not me.

Since I didn't know where to go, I decided to Apparate randomly, making my intent very clear—I wanted to go to a place that either needed me or a place I wouldn't like so that I could have an excuse to return home and do my own thing.

Pop!

A soft popping sound marked my arrival at the destination the spell took me to.

Now, some might wonder, why was there a sound? Well, it turned out not all magic spells work the same way in different realities—who knew?

'Ugh!!!! What the hell!!!!' My mind instantly snapped back to reality as soon as I inhaled the air of this place…

What is this place? The smell is nauseating—strong, very disgusting scents of stale blood and various other things I don't want to list…

I instantly cast a Bubble-Head Charm to protect me from the smell and the air here.

It took me a few seconds just to regain my bearings and start questioning where I was.

I used natural energy to sense life while casting a small Lumos for a clearer view. I wish I hadn't; this place was littered with dead bodies—recently killed bodies of people of all ages, from the looks of it...

There were even small children among the corpses—children!!!

I could feel myself losing control as I looked around and witnessed the horror-stricken faces of these people, especially the children.

That's where I draw the line.

I don't care much for the rest; I can sympathize a little with the elderly and others from different age groups who can't defend themselves but children are sacred in my books—I don't even know where I got this rule from, but I have a guess.

I immediately used one-third of my reserves just to lock down the space in a radius of one mile around me with a temporary space-sealing ward—that was a lot of magic for a temporary ward, but I couldn't care less right now!!!

I then stopped holding back and let everything run rampant. The energy I usually hold so tightly for so long started running amok—be it magic or natural energy, all of it was running wild—I am pretty sure anyone with even a slight sensitivity to energy felt what was happening immediately.

I started walking slowly, trying very hard to avoid looking around, heading directly towards the twenty or so life-force energies I sensed.

Vampires, huh.

"Hahahahahaha!" I started laughing—I wasn't even sure why I was laughing or if I was laughing out loud, but as soon as I saw three vampires approaching at high speed with blood-constructed weapons in their hands, it clicked—I knew who was responsible.

I didn't even bother stopping to fight them because tree roots immediately sprouted from the ground, intercepting their attacks, restraining them, and dragging them behind me.

I didn't register what they were shouting; I just kept walking until I arrived in a very large but dimly lit room where another batch of people lay dead…

"Kill him!" a female vampire shrieked as soon as I entered.

I simply waved my hand slightly, and tree roots emerged from the ground, breaking the marble floors, making the running vampires jump, but that did little to help them… they were in my domain, and no matter how fast they are, they will get restrained all the same, so I didn't pay them any attention…

I could feel the only female vampire trying to escape using her shadows, but then again, they were in my domain, and I say—no escape!!!

Everyone aside from the vampires here is dead.

There was even a pregnant girl there—and no, not a woman, a girl—how did I even figure that out despite the state of her body? I don't know; I just did…

Looking up to the ceiling of the room, I covered my face with my hand and felt the bubble covering half of my face—only then did I realize the tears running down my cheeks.

'Uh, when was the last time I cried?' I couldn't remember.

'When was the last time I felt this much hatred?' I couldn't recall ever hating anything or anyone. Even Voldemort and Dumbledore—I didn't hate them, not truly, not like this.

I lowered my head and saw about twenty-one restrained vampires in the room. They were all yelling different things, yet I couldn't comprehend what they were saying—not because I didn't understand the language, but because my mind was doing its best to try and regain control over my emotions…

"Why?" I whispered, my voice croaky and hoarse.

" Hahahahaha, why he asks? Who do you think you are to question us…?" one male vampire tried to say something, but that wasn't an answer, so I silenced him with a Cruciatus Curse, not forgetting to add the castration curse I thought I would never use—his agonizing cries were music to my ears.

"That wasn't an answer, but you know what? I don't need one. There's no justification for this, no matter what. So instead, I'm going to make your last moments on this earth a living hell. I will make you feel an agony that will break your very soul," I said in an emotionless voice.

I waved my right hand slightly up, and a familiar blue diabolical fire began to surround me—it required thrice the usual amount of magic to cast, but I didn't dwell on the reason—not yet.

I then started cursing everyone with every sensitivity-heightening spell I knew on them, just to make sure their death would be accompanied by a pain so great that they would wish for their death to come faster…

Once I was done, I let the fire slowly, very slowly, move in their direction and start burning them from the feet up.

I didn't forget to make sure that while in my domain, they would remain conscious and alive until their body was nothing but ashes…

Their cries of agony and pain soothed my soul. I kept staring at them without blinking, wanting to commit their horror, pain and agony-stricken faces to memory, hoping it would help ease the hateful emotions I was feeling.

'This was supposed to be an outing to make friends…' I thought weakly…

A weak pulse of life energy snapped me out of my spiraling thoughts—I turned around faster than I ever had before and ran directly toward the weak pulse I felt; it was coming from the pregnant girl's belly.

I sat there stupefied for a second before I started laughing happily and muttering thanks to whatever god had helped with this miracle.

Slowly, I positioned the girl on her back, moved my hand toward her lower abdomen, and let my instincts take over.

I haven't done this before; the only way I knew about how to do this was because the young me was a nerd that read about everything….

Somehow, someway, after a lot of fumbling I was able to extract the baby—it was a girl…

"Uwaaah!" she cried.

'Hehehehe… I succeeded,' I thought in glee as I held the crying little girl; she was a fragile little thing, so small, so tiny!!

I cast every cleaning spell I knew on her first, then started to slowly inject her with a little bit of my magic, natural energy, and life force—that helped somewhat, and her life signature grew a little bit stronger…

I took off my T-shirt, cleaned it three times with every spell I could think of, and wrapped the little baby girl in it. I didn't even notice that I had cast a Noise-Canceling Charm until I was done; I doubled down on the charm, hugged the baby tighter, and stood up slowly…

I don't know what to do now! I had cleaned her as best I could and wrapped her in very clean clothing. What's next? Temperature Regulation Charm! Yeah, let's cast that too.

Okay, now what else?….

'Ugh, I can't think of anything'... For now, let's get out of this place and burn it down.

I started walking out, willing my 'Diabolica' flame to consume everything—I would have preferred to bury the victims, but I didn't have time for that now.

So with a silent prayer, I walked out.
