Dark Lord of Tartarus

In the middle of a forest, a person wearing a black cloak and black clothes is standing still. He narrowed his eyes, he seems to be looking afar. He extended his hand forward.

"[Electrical Vortex]"

Then a vortex filled with electricity appeared 200 meters away from him. The vortex with the radius of 100 meters pulled everything around it, for instance trees, bushes, rocks, and the earth. Everything that touched the even just a tiny part of the vortex were instantly electrified and destroyed.

Seeing the damage done for just a few seconds, the man immediately dispelled the vortex. The area where the spell was deployed were devastated, the vortex left a crater on the ground. The landscape was ruined and there was nothing left in the area of effect but dirt.

"Amazing! Now that is a pretty good outcome."

The man smiled with satisfaction.

"But that crater is going to be a problem if I don't do something about it."

He flew to the crater to see more. He then landed on the side of the hole and as he saw the crater close, he thought of what he should do to cover up the huge crater while holding his chin with his right hand fingers.

"Hmmm, should I move some of the dirt from its sides to at least fill the crater? That could cover it up a little, also I must cover the area with vegetation. It would be unusual and strange that there would be a gap in the forest that has no trees or something."

After that, the man ascended in to the air and spread his arms.

"[Earth Control]"

Then brown magic circles appeared on both the man's hands. After that the man slowly moved his arms in and the ground moved following his movements. When he judged that it was enough he dispelled the spell.

The [Earth Control] spell temporarily grants the caster control over the earth around him in a limited amount of soil. This was a middle tier spell, and not pretty useful in offense but, everything sometimes has its uses.

When he doubled check if it filled all corners of the crater he cast another spell.

"[Nature's Tranquility]"

A rain of green light came out of his body spreading all over the area below him. Then plants like, trees, vines, bushes, herbs and so on were growing fast and in a several seconds the trees were already as tall as before. Seeing the vegetation was now thick and trees that were growing are now sturdy and tall he stopped the spell.

"That should do it."

He nodded while contented.

"[Teleportation.]"

He cast a spell and he disappeared in an instant like he was never there at all.

What he saw next was a flowing river. He looked around to make sure if this was the place he wanted to teleport to. He looked back and saw a cabin, it looked simple but it was well made and sturdy.

He kneeled down and reached his hands to the water. His hands filled with water, he then drank the fresh water from the river. The river was so clean that someone can look through the flowing water. After the repeated way of drinking, he splashed a handful of water on his face to freshen his feeling. He breathed deeply, and next looked at the reflection of the water.

It has been 3 years since I started my training, but my appearance did not change at all.

He thought to himself and sighed.

He stood up and walked to the cabin. As he stepped to a wooden part of the structure, he peered to its details. After that he opened the door to the cabin and closed it, and then he walked to the nearby chair and sat on it. There was a wooden table in front of him and another chair next to the table.

It seems like I'm fine with my skills now. I think I should now finish this training. Yes, I think it's now time to set my plan in motion.

He smiled in excitement.

The man sitting has black hair and blue eyes, Xyn Draven Nightfall, the embodiment of pure darkness. He leaned his back on the chair and closed his eyes.

Mother once said that I can be whatever I want to be, and she will support me always. Now, I know what I want to be and what to do.

***

Three years of hard work, learning, training and reading. He is now able to cast 812 spells, some are spells he learned, and some are his original spells. He travelled far north from his home and first landed on a small town. The way of flying he used first expends a lot of mana and he had to land every time his mana is almost depleted. Earlier he cast a flight spell on himself to fly to the crater because that way he can only expend the mana on the mana cost of the spell rather than the one that continuously drains his mana, but the only difference is the speed. Flying with his innate magic is faster than the spell, but he only plans to use the one from his innate magic if he's in a hurry or if he has no choice but to use it.

When he walked around the first town he landed to, he noticed something. He made sure and listened closely to the people near him and there he was now sure. He can understand what the people were saying, he was in a foreign town and in a different country so naturally he supposedly cannot understand their language, but he can. After thinking for a time he came to a conclusion that the language may be translated because of his Dark Incarnation's features. In addition, he discovered that he still can't read foreign writing, perhaps the translation only works on his hearing. In contrast, he no longer calls it innate gift but now he calls it "Dark Incarnation." He's other form was an odd one and not normal so it cannot be called a gift.

He was happy that he can understand the people around and they in return can understand him. That makes communication easy and that means he can get information from them easily.

After leaving the first town, he then went to various libraries and there he learned many new magic. He also read many books of myths, where he read about many different items and creatures that may or may not exist. Of course some of the books' writings were unfamiliar to Xyn but luckily most books are written in English, also he had to learn some words from dead languages in order to read some books. It's not just that, he also went to other places to learn some new magic or spells.

While he was getting stronger, he noticed a lot of changes to himself. As said earlier, his appearance never changed since the Dark Incarnation was unlocked. He is now 21 years old but his appearance stayed as what it was 3 years ago. Of course he earned some muscles, it was just his face that didn't changed, and also his height didn't change but luckily he's already satisfied with his height. Also his passive skill [Dark Protection] has greatly improved over the years, now he's completely immune to low level attacks. He confirmed it when he beat up a group of guys because they were being a group of annoying inferior beings. To be specific, he is immune to physical attacks magic or non-magic below the level of 70(69 and below) and range attacks magic or non-magic below the level of 90(89 and below), he knew this because he learned a spell that can analyze and assess a skill or spell, of course he enhanced the spell so it can read his Dark Protection skill, because without the enhancement it cannot even read any magic that's from his Dark Incarnation.

Within three years he had learned many different kinds of magic spells and summoning spells, for instance Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, Holy, Necromancy, Demon Summoning, Angel Summoning, and so on. Of course he was not satisfied so he improved some of the spells he learned. He also created original spells to have more offensive spells and for other purposes.

The spell [Nature's Tranquility] was one of his original spells, combining Holy and Nature magic. The spell [Electrical Vortex] is also one of his original spells, combining Lightning and Gravity magic. The high tier spell [Teleportation] is one of the spells he learned, he can teleport to any place he can see, seen or where he had been. Also the [Earth Control] is one of the spells he learned. In addition, there are also magic he has to learn and make himself like the magic of Necromancy, Demonic spells, Angelic spells and so on, because some of these spells are forbidden, and some cannot be found in any books. He also came up with some techniques and spells for his Dark Incarnation.

He goes to uninhabited forest to unleash his new learned spells and also to exercise those. When he's done, he fixes the damages done by his spells, because people might see the aftermath and become suspicious to the forest and might send some bothersome people to take a look around.

He also noticed something different about his feelings to everything around him, or rather to living beings around him. He now seems to look at them like they were little animals or probably lower than animals, he no longer feels any affinity to the people around him, but the ones he knows and has a relationship with seems to be an exemption because he can feel a little sympathy for them. He now seems to see the people around him as inferior beings, probably that was one of his dark form's side effects. In addition, he no longer feels any fatigue, no matter how much he ran, move and so on he never felt tired and Xyn was happy about it. Also he doesn't feel hunger, thirst and sleepiness anymore, but he still chose to eat because foods are delicious, also he drinks water because it is refreshing and he may be not able to feel sleepiness he can still sleep if he wants to.

***

He stood up from the chair and walked to his bedroom.

When he entered the room, he smiled in satisfaction.

"I should say I did a pretty good job in making the cabin."

He sat on the bed and bouncing on it. He was trying to feel the softness of the bed.

"This bed is amazing! Creation magic is the best!"

He used his improved version of [Create Item] to create the cabin and everything inside it, he called the original spell he created as the [Ultimate Creation]. Depends on the item created by the spell [Create Item], some are only temporary and will only stay into existence if the caster is wielding, using or wearing it, and some are permanent but that is limited to small things like sugar, salt and more. However, the spell [Ultimate Creation] can make things stay permanently and the item can be enchanted, he can easily create gold, silver, diamond, emerald, swords, daggers, armor, life forms and everything he can imagine, but the spell is not omnipotent because there are some that he can't create, and also there are some things that one would need to understand how something works, for instance if one wants to create a device, he would need to understand or at least familiarize how the mechanisms work. So creating something complex would be difficult, but Xyn studied a lot already so mostly it's going to be easy on him.

He lied down on the bed, rested his head on the soft pillow and closed his eyes.

Tomorrow, I will begin.

He wanted to sleep because he doesn't want to stay awake the whole night just to wait until morning.

Then for a few minutes, Xyn fell asleep.
