I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Ricko's Adventure
I was just an ordinary student living on earth. Our lives are ordinary and we are not from a rich family. But we live happily as a family of four. Until finally my stupid brother died suddenly while I was still in high school.
Our family was shocked when they found out. Especially when she found out that she died of poisoning. Even my mother cried so much. My brother is still young, and both of my parents are looking forward to his future.
I also felt bad when I saw the stiff body in front of me. We fight often. But I don't hate him. It was an ordinary sister quarrel. But when I saw the body of his feet on the bed, plus my mother's sobs, inevitably I also cried at that time. Our family cried all night.
The funeral happened very quickly. The atmosphere in my family has changed since then. At first our family was fine like a normal family. But now my parents are being very protective of me. They forbid me to do everything. Especially playing with my friends or other social activities. I started to feel constrained and even started to blame my brother's death.
My mother always acts strange. He sometimes made two servings of breakfast on the table.
"Mother, why did you make two breakfasts?"
"The only one for Eri" the mother replied with a melancholic bada. But I could only look at all of that with a horrible look.
"Who will make breakfast for the dead? I'm just wasting food" I nagged.
Mom's face immediately turned sad at that moment and I felt very guilty. So I'm sorry.
But the other thing happened, especially when my dad suddenly came and brought two presents, then said, "the other one's for Eri"
This is really driving me crazy! This has been going on for two years. I also became a high school student. But my parents still do crazy things and hold that my brother is still alive. What the fuck! I'm not happy with all this madness at all.
Then one day, I also started having weird dreams. There was a strange figure in the dream, I could not see clearly its form, but I could hear its voice clearly.
"Your brother died in your place. Don't you have to make it up to me?" the voice said.
I woke up in cold sweat when I heard everything. After that, I had the same dream for a month. I'm too scared to sleep now. But I stayed asleep because I couldn't resist my drowsiness.
The dream finally happened again. But this time it was different than usual. The strange figure did not say the same thing again. But even approaching her and at that moment she lost her consciousness and was unconscious.
I woke up in a strange place. I thought that I was still in my room as usual. But it turns out I was in a dark place like a cave. Then there was a group of people in black robes surrounding me and saying strange words. A very scary atmosphere. I thought I was going to be food. And I even fainted a second time because I couldn't accept this reality I saw.
When I woke up for the second time, you were in a normal room. So I don't feel too scared anymore. But a foreign man in a black robe stood by my bedside. Inevitably, I screamed out in shock.
"Who are you?!" I moved away while hugging my pillow.
The black robe lowered its head and said with great respect "Welcome Your Majesty" he said.
"Who is His Majesty? I'm Ricko. I don't know you guys at all" I frustratedly threw my pillow at him.
I still remember that he didn't understand what they were saying before. But why do I understand now?
"What the hell is going on?" I rubbed my head in frustration. "Where am I now?"
"Riot Forest"
"Otherwise that riot forest" I muttered in annoyance. Just this time I heard the name of that strange forest.
"Can you take me home?" ask me with a pleading tone.
The black robe shook slowly. "The arrival of His Majesty is the will of the gods" he said indistinctly.
A deity? I don't know who this god is. But I remember that there was a strange figure that always appeared in my dreams. Is that a god?
"Can you take off your robe? Really makes me uncomfortable" I grumbled.
He quickly undid his robe, revealing the figure of a muscular man with a scar on his nose. It was a very rosy appearance but it looked more normal than having to wear that ugly black robe.
"Tell me everything about this world" I ordered.
Then the man began to explain. Starting from his name, Gord. Then about this place. About the use of magic in this place. And also the magic specialists of their people, namely dark magic and other elemental magic. About the kingdoms and noble systems that exist in this world. Not to forget he also explained about their status as dark witches in this world. He explained everything succinctly.
I was shocked after hearing all the stories.
"So that means I became a criminal in this place?!" I screamed in disbelief. I don't know anything, but I have to be a fugitive.
"We're not criminals" Gord explained. "They're just fools who fear our power so they hunt us down" he said confidently.
My face turned sullen. "Fuck up!" I cursed again. Who's the fool here? Clearly it was named dark magic, it was definitely an evil thing. But he had to accept his identity ever since being sent to this place.
He would use this dark magic to find his way home. So that he will return to his peaceful life. He was worried about both of his parents. They had been very frustrated for years when they found out that her brother had died. How would they react if they knew he was gone now? I don't want to worry them, but I do. Even if it's not my fault at all.
"Teach me how to use that thing called magic"
"That's easy, Your Majesty. Since it is Your Majesty, you can do it easily. Concentrate, then feel the warm flow in your body. Then imagine what element you want to use" Gord explained.
I tried it immediately too. I closed my eyes. It's true, I feel a very strong warm flow inside my body. Then I began to imagine fire, and a spark of fire started to come out of my finger.
I opened my mouth in disbelief. I tried the wind and air magic around me instantly moving around me, forming a protective wind. Then when using water magic, I can drain water from my hands. When using earth magic, I can make the floor below me move and crack. The last one is dark magic. The moment I used it, a strange dark mist began to surround the room. I don't know what it's working at all. Let's not say this dark magic doesn't work at all!
Gord was quite shocked when he saw Ricko could use almost any element! What the hell's going on? Shouldn't the young man only be able to use dark magic. But how could he use the other elements? He didn't know the reason, but he felt very happy. Eventually, the dark witches would return to their heyday and not have to be fugitives anymore. This was a blessing given by the dark god to them.
"Is there something strange? Why doesn't my light magic come out?" I said disappointed. At first I was very happy after knowing, I could use a lot of elemental magic. But he can't use light magic
Gord's face twitched upon hearing that. This boy forgot that they were dark witches. No dark wizard can use light magic. That can't happen at all.
"Your Majesty, we are dark witches. There's no way we can use that disgusting magic" Gord said.
I frowned, not understanding. "Why? You explained before her that light magic users get blessings from gods. I met that strange god in my dreams" I said.
"Ehem!" Gord coughed small. "That's a different god." he said. "The god of this world hates our very existence. Our God is a god from another world. He is an amazing god, making us able to switch dimensions" Gord said in awe.
"Transfer dimensions you say?"
Gord nodded. "Yes. Your Majesty should study dark magic well. If His Majesty manages to master it like our first ancestor, then His Majesty can tear apart the dimension and move to another world" he said.
My eyes sparkled after hearing it. It means I can go back to my previous world, right? I just need to learn this stupid magic and become strong! This sounds simple but I'm sure it's very difficult to do.
"I will send a teacher to His Majesty to stabilize all magic as well as teach His Majesty how to meditate to accumulate mana" Gord explained. "But we will focus more on studying the dark elements. For the other elements, I will take His Majesty shopping to the human kingdom to buy a magic book" Gord said.
I nodded obediently. During the first week I learned basic magic from a teacher. He was an old man who looked very experienced. I studied hard because I wanted to come back quickly.
Then the next week, I focused on learning dark magic. They gave me a lot of training to use both basic and advanced level magic spells. I can master it easily. They were ready to teach a high-level spell, but I asked Gord to accompany me around first. I've been cooped up in this place for two weeks in a row, I need a break and a vacation.
Back then, Gord and I went to one of the kingdoms with the most academy students. The kingdom was called Kingdom Well. What a strange name. I'm sure the founder of this kingdom isn't very good at picking names. We shopped a lot there. Magic books, potions, food and magic tools. I had a lot of fun and asked Gord for us to stay longer in this place. But I didn't expect that Gord was so rich. He bought me anything I wanted to even give me a dimension that was amazingly vast.
