[Fairy Tail] The Magic Contract

A few notes before reading: 1. I'm terrible at coming up with names, both titles and character names.

2. My writing is awful.

3. I'm a professional at digging plot holes and never filling them.

4. I write and revise as I go. Sometimes I make small changes to what I've already written, but they usually don't affect much.

In a vast, empty space stood only a table and four chairs. Just one person sat there, hands clasped beneath his chin, utterly motionless.

One minute...

Two minutes...

Ten minutes...

One hour...

Two hours...

If you don't explode in silence, you perish in silence.

The person slammed the table hard and sprang to his feet.

With a casual snap of his fingers, a manual that looked to be in good condition appeared in his hand.

He opened it and flipped through the pages, stopping at one of them. Amid the densely packed notes were a few words written in red ink: Ulala Artemik...

He glanced at the notes below, snapped the manual shut, and tossed it aside. It vanished into thin air. With another snap, the table and chairs disappeared, and the space became pitch-black. He tapped his body with a finger. Like cloth, it began unraveling from his feet into countless white threads that flew in every direction, while countless black threads wove themselves anew. From the ground up, his entire appearance changed.

When everything had settled, he swept a hand from left to right. The space opened like curtains being drawn back in a dark room, and sunlight poured in. The sky was above his head and the earth below his feet. His body relaxed slightly, and he slowly became weightless, falling from the sky.

[My name is... Ulala Artemik...]
