"So painful, so dark, so terrifying... is this the feeling of death? Living was painful enough, why does dying have to hurt too? Why do I have to suffer such torture?"
At this moment, he felt a ray of light appear. Like seeing a life-saving straw, he quickly rushed towards the light.
When he came to his senses, he found himself lying in a strange place.
At this time, an aged voice sounded: "Child, you're awake."
Lu Li heard the voice and looked in the direction it came from, seeing a short old man with white hair and a white beard standing nearby.
At this moment, the old man said with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry! Child, I arrived too late. Monsters destroyed the village, and you are the only survivor."
Lu Li was a bit confused. What was this old man saying? He couldn't understand it at all. Village? He didn't live in a village. And what are monsters?
Lu Li's confusion appeared to Makarov as excessive grief and an inability to accept reality.
"Child, from now on, stay here at Fairy Tail. We can make plans after you fully recover. After all, it was my mistake. Sigh! If I had arrived a bit earlier, perhaps this tragedy wouldn't have happened."
Makarov couldn't help but blame himself. When he heard that powerful monsters were attacking a village, he rushed over, but he was a step too late. Although he killed all those monsters, the dead cannot be brought back to life.
Hearing a familiar name, Lu Li couldn't help but freeze: "Fairy Tail?"
Seeing Lu Li react, Makarov was very happy: "Oh? Child, you've heard of Fairy Tail too? Fairy Tail is this old man's guild. This old man is the Guild Master of Fairy Tail, Makarov."
"Makarov?!"
Lu Li's eyes widened. If the name Fairy Tail was a coincidence, the Guild Master's name couldn't possibly be the same too.
Could it be? Transmigration? Did I transmigrate to the world of Fairy Tail?
Lu Li struggled to sit up. He wanted to see if this was truly the Fairy Tail he knew.
Just as he supported himself on the edge of the bed, he realized something was wrong. His arms were obviously small and thin. Looking closely, his palms were also much smaller.
Lu Li hurriedly touched his face. Although he couldn't see it, he knew it felt completely different from his original appearance.
Soul transmigration?
"What's wrong?" Makarov asked curiously.
"Nothing."
"By the way, I haven't asked yet. Child, what is your name?"
"Lu Li. My name is Lu Li."
He didn't know the original owner's name, so he gave his own name.
"Lu Li, is it?"
*Growl~~!*
At this moment, Lu Li's stomach growled, and he felt a strong sense of hunger.
"You haven't eaten for three days, you must be hungry. Let's go, let's go downstairs to eat something, and you can see my guild at the same time."
Lu Li followed Makarov out of the infirmary door. As soon as the door opened, an incomparably lively atmosphere hit them in the face.
Looking down from the second floor, there were many people in the guild hall. Some were drinking, eating, and chatting; some were singing and dancing; some were fighting, and some were watching. The whole guild looked chaotic.
"You stinking ice user!"
A boy with sakura-colored hair and a dragon-scale scarf around his neck punched a black-haired boy.
"You stinking fire-breather!"
The black-haired boy punched back. The two exchanged blows, neither giving an inch.
"Come on! Gray! Don't lose!"
"Get him! Natsu!"
The onlookers didn't mind the chaos and cheered them on.
"Bastard! I'm getting angry!"
Gray couldn't take him down after a long time and got anxious. Cold air radiated from his palms as he prepared to use magic.
*Whoosh!*
Natsu's hands ignited with flames: "Come on! Who's afraid of whom!"
Seeing this, lines appeared on Makarov's forehead, and he shouted angrily: "Stop it! You two brats!"
Seeing the two fighting, Lu Li was completely sure. He had transmigrated into the world of Fairy Tail.
Seeing Makarov appear, Natsu and Gray had to separate, though both looked unconvinced.
"Magic!"
Seeing the flames in Natsu's hands, Lu Li's eyes widened and sparkled.
Although he had seen it countless times in the anime, seeing this kind of supernatural power with his own eyes for the first time was different.
Makarov noticed the expression and look on Lu Li's face: "Do you like magic?"
"I like it!"
Lu Li showed his inner feelings without hesitation or concealment. In his previous world, a materialist world, science was the only truth. There was no such mysterious thing as magic.
Maybe there was, but it was definitely not something ordinary people could access.
The desire for power is instinctive in human genes. It is precisely because of this longing that novels and movies about magic, cultivation, and superpowers were born.
Lu Li dreamed of possessing these abilities. Even if it was just the simplest knowledge, he would be incredibly excited.
"You can learn magic too!"
Seeing that Lu Li was so interested in magic, Makarov wanted to let Lu Li learn magic to divert his attention and help him escape the pain of losing his loved ones.
"Really?!"
"Of course it's true. I can teach you how to use magic right now."
Makarov opened his palm, without even chanting a spell.
*Whoosh!*
Flames appeared in Makarov's palm, then rapidly formed a burning fireball.
"Look at this, Fireball."
At this moment, Lu Li gazed burningly at the fireball. His brain began to automatically analyze the fireball, and all knowledge regarding the Fireball spell poured into his brain.
A moment later, a line of text began to emerge in his mind.
[Observing Fireball. Your comprehension is heaven-defying. You have realized Fireball!]
