Fairy Tail Space Mage

Fairy Tail: Space Mage by Sheep Behind the Tree

An ordinary (lazy) person living a mundane life is inexplicably transported to the world of Fairy Tail. Then, he senses a sense of crisis! Then, he begins to learn magic, joins a guild, and becomes exceptionally diligent!

All because in the world of Fairy Tail, a single battle can destroy a city! All because the world of Fairy Tail is a world that could be destroyed simply because of the existence of a few dragons!

"This world is too terrible! I should join Fairy Tail. Only by joining them and following the main characters will I have a chance to survive." After sighing in his heart, Sora had the guild master brand the Fairy Tail magic mark on his wrist.

At this moment, no one, not even Sora himself, expected that Fairy Tail would have an S-class mage, a space-type mage known as "Dark Star"!

Chapter 000 Preface

This is the author's second fanfiction. This time it's based on the anime *Fairy Tail*. The author doesn't plan to write too much content, maybe a few hundred chapters. Learning from the experience of the previous work, this one focuses on the plot and will be written as smoothly as possible, without any unnecessary dragging!

Here, we'd like to first introduce the characteristics of this novel to our readers. This will help you determine if the novel suits your taste and save you time.

First, it doesn't abuse the protagonist; it's basically a satisfying read.

Since the original work is already quite cruel to the protagonist, if the fanfiction continues to be cruel to the protagonist, it would really anger everyone. Anyway, I would never do that.

Second, there is no harem, and the male lead is single-minded.

Harems certainly appeal to most readers, but the heroines in Fairy Tail are all too distinctive, and the author has tried several times to put them into a harem without success.

Placing these powerful, beautiful women with such different personalities in the imperial harem would definitely cause chaos. The author certainly wouldn't dare do that.

Third, we should respect the original work as much as possible and not disrupt the interpersonal relationships in the original work.

The author loves the original work, so they won't allow its charm to be lost through reinterpretation. The protagonists in fan fiction won't overshadow or steal the spotlight from the original characters. Who likes whom will remain largely unchanged.

Alright, that's enough rambling from the author. It's not a great work, but I hope you enjoyed reading it.

Furthermore, unless the author suddenly passes away, they will absolutely not allow the novel to be abandoned! This is probably the author's only insistence.

Chapter 001 Aslant

The year 777 was a very special year for many people in the world of Aslant. In that year, the flow of time and space was disrupted, and the direct consequence was the emergence of a large number of time travelers.

Our protagonist, Kong Black, is one of them.

However, unlike those chosen ones destined to stir up trouble in this world, Sora's transmigration was merely an accident. His transmigration itself was insignificant, but the soul residing in his body came from a world far removed from Aslant—Earth.

…………

There was no sunshine, and no wind. It was a perfect day for outdoor reading. Unlike usual, the boy left the stuffy room and chose to read on the beach by the lake.

However, his quiet reading time didn't last long. Soon, a short, white-haired old man and several children in their teens arrived.

Then, as usual, the black-haired boy and the pink-haired boy got into an argument and started fighting, until they were finally stopped by a red-haired girl who was two years older than them. Meanwhile, a dark-skinned girl with curly hair and an elderly man watched the whole thing unfold!

Among these four children is one of the chosen ones mentioned earlier—Natsu Dragneel.

Natsu has short, cherry-red hair and a somewhat fierce face. He wears a white scarf with a dragon scale pattern around his neck, which, although it looks a bit haphazard, actually has the most terrifying background in this world!

The black-haired boy he fought was named Gray Fullbuster, a stripper who had a master comparable to the "Ten Wizard Saints." He later inherited his father's skills and became a terrifying Ice Slayer Mage.

The red-haired girl in armor who stopped Natsu and Gray from fighting is named Erza Scarlet. Erza can be considered, in a sense, the daughter of a dragon (her background will be explained later). She is incredibly strong and possesses astonishing courage, even at the age of 12.

Finally, there's Cana Alperona, watching the spectacle from beside the old man. While her card magic isn't particularly powerful yet, her father's strength is outrageously formidable. She later received a gift from her ancestors, gaining mastery of terrifyingly powerful super magic…

Although Erza quelled the pointless argument, the boy lost interest in reading because of the interruption. He closed his book, stood up, glanced at Natsu and the others, then looked at his reflection in the lake and couldn't help but sigh.

The boy's name was Kong. It sounded strange, but it was actually given to him by the short old man not far away. He was found in the forest east of the guild, and because he had no memory of his past when he woke up, he was given a new name—Kong. As for Black's surname, it was given to him by Erza. Its meaning is simple: black.

Yes, black hair and black eyes—that's Sora's appearance. Although Sora had hoped that his body could have a remarkable identity, the tattered and ill-fitting clothes he was wearing when he was found, the rough skin on his hands, and his malnourished body due to his thinness all indicated the limitations of Sora's identity.

He couldn't possibly be a prince of some country, or the child of some wealthy family. His past circumstances were probably worse than those of an average farm child; most likely, he was—a helpless orphan living near a garbage dump.

In truth, Sora wasn't entirely without memories of the past. What he lost was only the memory of his current body. In his mind, he still retained memories of another world, Earth.

Of course, he knew the story of Fairy Tail. Unfortunately, he had only read part of the manga, the character introductions in the encyclopedia, and sometimes seen related comments on forums. Overall, he wasn't very clear about the plot that was about to unfold.

Kong has been in Aslant for three whole months. During this time, besides exercising, practicing magic, meditating, completing quests, and reading, he hasn't done anything else. Rather than being diligent, Kong's lifestyle is more like that of an ascetic monk relentlessly training.

No one knew why he was in such a hurry—to study, to make money, to become stronger. But no one intended to disturb him. Even Natsu, who had only recently arrived, wouldn't bother him when he was practicing magic or reading.

Kong was naturally very anxious.

Indeed, back when he lived on Earth, his life was quite leisurely. But that was a peaceful and stable era; he didn't have to do dangerous work, and he wasn't constantly risking his life. But here…

Because he lacked the memories of this body, he didn't know much about this world. However, judging from the comments he saw on the forums before his transmigration, in the later stages of the Fairy Tail story, there would be instances where even beings like the "Ten Wizard Saints" would be easily killed by enemies.

Sora didn't know if dragons still existed in this world, but the book in his hand clearly recorded the history of a dragon destroying the world. If Fairy Tail were to face an enemy of this level in the future, let alone be effective, it would be hard to say whether it could even survive the trials to come.

Having been picked up by Fairy Tail, Sora naturally joined them. He was only 12 years old (his age was determined by magic), and with nowhere else to go, Fairy Tail had saved his life, so of course he wouldn't refuse to join them.

Before joining the guild, he vowed to become a strong person and contribute to the guild. But after awakening his magic through meditation, Sora immediately lost his confidence.

Kong's awakened magic is not the powerful lightning or fire attribute, nor is it a highly functional attribute like ice, earth, water, or wind, nor is it the light or darkness attribute that should obviously belong to the protagonist. Kong's awakened magic is the spatial attribute, which is surprisingly somewhat related to his name.

Spatial attributes sound impressive. But the short, old man who took him in—Makarov—searched the guild's underground library and only found one spatial spell—"Teleportation."

It's important to know that Mavis, the creator of the Fairy Tail guild, was an avid reader. The Fairy Tail underground library contained thousands of spells, yet they only found one spatial magic. Spatial magic is incredibly rare!

"Movement" is essentially teleportation. In many fantasy stories, this is a top-tier skill. But in this world where anything is possible, it's different. After a week of rigorous practice, Sora mastered "Movement," only to discover upon actual use that this magic only posed a threat to ordinary mages.

For example, Sora can now "move" to Natsu and Gray's side, launch a surprise attack, and injure or defeat them. But against Erza, Erza can predict Sora's position after "moving" based on the changes in the magical energy around her before she activates the "movement," and prepare her fist in advance to smash down hard!

Clearly, the skill "Movement," which consumes a lot of magic, has many limitations, and is difficult to cast, is not as good as Kong had imagined. And his future has thus become uncertain.

Chapter 002 empty

Besides Sora, only Erza in the guild knows how to use the space-based skill—Equipment Swap. But honestly, this skill is a godsend for the Fairy Queen who can instantly master a weapon upon grasping it, but for someone like Sora, whose attributes are actually reduced when she grasps a weapon, it's just a sad thing.

Moreover, the magic required for the transformation spell is very high, which is far too extravagant for Sora, who only has 50 units of magic power after her initial awakening.

Despite lacking an impressive background, powerful magic, outstanding talent, or even particularly strong attributes, Kong still needs to improve his strength. Therefore, he can only work harder than others.

Fortunately, in this world where magic is as abundant as the sea, anyone can become powerful as long as they work hard.

Kong clearly understands that in the world of Aslant, a mage's strength depends primarily on three factors: 1. The level of their magical power; 2. The quality of their magic; and 3. The user's experience and wisdom.

Of these three aspects, the quality of magic is currently unsolvable. The level of magical power, however, can be increased through meditation and the continuous consumption and replenishment of magical power. As for the user's experience and wisdom, these can be gained through battles with Natsu and his friends, completing various quests, and reading books.

Having understood all this, Sora immediately devised his own plan to become stronger. Every morning, he would exercise or fight Natsu and the others. Afterward, he would use his "Movement" skill to complete errand requests limited to Magnolia City.

Although the rewards for these errand-running tasks are very meager, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand J, Kong's "Movement" skill makes him extremely efficient at completing these tasks, allowing him to finish about 3 to 5 per day. This way, after deducting the rent for the guild dormitory, Kong can save over ten thousand J per month.

Kong certainly wouldn't let these savings sit idle. He used the money to buy lightning crystals and herbs to enhance his physique. Every night, he would use the lightning crystals to cast electric magic, making himself feel "ecstatic," and then soak in a herbal bath that made him feel even more "ecstatic," using this method to enhance his stamina and strength.

This wasn't some "crooked idea" I came up with myself; it was a legitimate auxiliary method for martial arts training that I found in a book. In fact, it's very effective.

After nearly three months of treatment, while it didn't give Sora the incredible stamina of Natsu or the divine power comparable to Erza, his endurance and strength did increase significantly. And, of course, his skin also became noticeably whiter and smoother.

Fortunately, Elsa is not yet at the age where she cares about her appearance. Otherwise, she would definitely have held a sword to his neck and interrogated him about the secret to fair skin.

Why did Sora use martial arts as an auxiliary method to enhance his endurance and strength? In fact, Sora was not just trying to improve his endurance and physique; he was indeed practicing martial arts.

Martial arts are not uncommon even on the continent of Asland. In fact, they are a form of magic. They were introduced to Asland from a continent in the east long ago. However, this magic has limited power and is difficult to learn. Even with the advantage of low mana consumption, very few mages are willing to learn it.

As mentioned earlier, in the world of Aslant, acquiring great power is not difficult. Learning and mastering a powerful spell is very easy for a mage. Of course, exceptions exist for those with very niche magical attributes, like Sora.

In that case, who would spend their time on martial arts, which requires high investment but yields low returns? To fully master a martial art, it takes at least 3 to 5 years. This requires not only rigorous training in the martial art itself but also continuous physical exercise to improve physical fitness. Only in this way can the true power of the martial art be unleashed.

Most people couldn't endure such hardship, nor were they willing to. Of course, Kong was no exception. So why did he learn martial arts?

Kong had no means of attack. Although he had been studying martial arts and had some talent, it was only enough to defeat ordinary people. Without any offensive skills, learning a martial art was his only option.

Sora browsed through the guild's underground library, finally choosing the "Seven-Inch Fist" martial art. It was the simplest of all martial arts, with a very low learning difficulty; anyone who wasn't stupid could master it within three years. Using lightning-type magic crystals and herbal baths was to shorten that time. Sora couldn't wait three years.

Staring blankly at his reflection in the lake for a while, Sora used "Teleport" to leave the lakeside and return to his bedroom. He didn't greet Elsa and the others at all. However, everyone was used to Sora's aloof attitude and didn't mind.

Kong isn't a cold person. If you ask him anything, he'll answer in as much detail as possible. If you ask him for help, he'll do his best to assist you, as long as it's within his principles. But if you're hoping to bump into him on the street and have him spot you first and greet you, you're dreaming.

Sora was simply too absorbed in his work, completely absorbed in everything he did, oblivious to his surroundings. The guild members didn't dislike this about him, especially Erza, who greatly admired him. Whenever she saw someone in the guild fighting and potentially disturbing Sora, she would step in and stop them.

However, because Erza hadn't expected Sora to be outside at that moment, he couldn't stop Natsu and Gray in time. When Sora used "Teleport" magic to leave, Erza couldn't help but punch Natsu and Gray, who were knocked to the ground, once more, clearly angry that they had disturbed Sora's reading.

After returning to his dormitory, Kong opened his book, sat down in the chair by the window, and continued reading. He had read many books, and he planned to read even more.

Because of the gaps in his memory, Sora's thirst for knowledge surpassed everything else. He not only read books on magic, martial arts, combat, and quests, but also books on history, geography, biographies, encyclopedias, and illustrated books.

For three months, he spent nearly half of his time reading every day, reading dozens of books. Although he can't yet be considered the guild's encyclopedia, in terms of knowledge alone, he is unparalleled among his peers.

As darkness fell outside the window, Sora closed his book again. Having used "Teleport" three times in succession, Sora arrived at a small restaurant on the outskirts of town. Sora frequently received delivery requests from this restaurant and was quite familiar with the owner. He liked the restaurant's food, which tasted very similar to the Chinese cuisine from Sora's hometown.

In addition, it's relatively quiet here, so while waiting for the food to be served, you can still read a book or quietly daydream.

He used to eat at the guild. However, after being interrupted several times during his meals, he never considered eating at the guild again. It wasn't that he was angry at the guild members who disturbed him; he just felt that being constantly interrupted was really affecting his eating efficiency.

Chapter 003 Complete Meditation

After having dinner at the small restaurant, Sora didn't leave but instead opened his book and continued reading. Occasionally, he would take out his notebook and jot down some notes. The owner was used to this and didn't ask him to leave. Anyway, the restaurant was relatively empty at this time; if it were crowded, Sora would leave on his own, unable to bear the noise, without the owner even having to say anything.

When the restaurant closes, the owner will remind Sora. At this time, Sora will leave the restaurant and, in the deserted city of Magnolia after nightfall, will focus on practicing his "movement" magic.

Normally, one unit of magic power allows an adult to "move" a distance of 50 meters. Kong is not an adult, and spatial abilities are Kong's innate attribute, allowing him to use spatial skills with greater efficiency. Therefore, one unit of magic power allows Kong to "move" a full 100 meters.

When Sora awakened his magic, he had 50 units of magic power in his body. This is far below the normal standard of 100-500 units. Although Sora could perform three complete meditations every day, which would terrify others, and he was constantly using magic to consume and replenish his magic power, in the past three months, his magic power had only increased to about 600 units, and he could "move" a maximum of 6 meters.

It's not that far; it's probably just enough to allow an airship to "move" from one end of the city to the other.

In comparison, Gray and the others already possess magic power exceeding 2000 units. Elsa, in particular, has magic power approaching 3000 units… and she has only been learning magic for a little over a year.

This is talent, and also the main reason why Sora lost confidence and changed his attitude towards life after awakening his magic. Even if Elsa and the others did nothing, their magic levels would increase at a very rapid pace every day. Compared to them, Sora was far inferior. Sora's sigh by the lake this afternoon was definitely not without reason.

After nearly exhausting all her magic power, Sora returned to her dormitory. Then she brewed a medicinal soup, used a lightning crystal to cast a lightning magic spell to torture herself, and then took a medicinal bath, all in one go.

When Kong finished washing himself and returned to bed, he began his final full meditation of the day.

Complete meditation refers to the process of first expelling magical energy and then using meditation to fully restore it. Almost all mages can mage, but very few can perform complete meditation. Some can, but are completely unwilling to do so.

The reason for this is that the first part of complete meditation—expelling the magic—is a very painful and dangerous process.

For mages, magic power is life. If their magic power decreases, they are prone to "magic deficiency syndrome," a condition that can be fatal to them.

While sitting cross-legged on the bed expelling magical energy, Sora didn't feel much pain. Only at the very end, when her magical energy was down to five percent, did she feel nauseous and gag. This was completely different from the description in the book of a stage where she would experience tingling pain all over her body, convulsions, and difficulty breathing.

Sora didn't understand what was going on; perhaps it was because he was born with very little magic power. After all, when he awakened, Sora only had 50 units of magic power stored in his body, the same level as an infant.

None of that matters. The ability to meditate completely is a tremendous blessing for Kong. Because a single instance of complete meditation can grant Kong a 2-unit increase in mana capacity.

With three full meditations a day, each adding 6 units, that's 2190 units a year. In that case, it would only take him 10 years to reach the level of a 10th Saint—2 units of magic power.
