Damian is walking leisurely in the play grounds of orphanage while humming a tone. He reincarnated into this world 11 years ago. Everything seems to be a false reality here. The 20th century that has less than a decade to end, the technology is not on the modern level yet. Telephones are still a trend along with big music boxes.
Food is also less tasty, but compared to the noisy and busy era of 21ty century, there is a subtle sense of peace here or That's what he thought until one day when a mysterious energy blasted everything away around him. This energy originated from his own body.
He can will this energy to lift objects, turn them into various things and even create small finger size fire balls. He discovered he is a wizard and this is a Harry Potter world. How did he know that? Simple, he met the Hermione Granger. Yep, the one and only.
He competed against her in a spelling competition conducted in a park and won against her. Do you think that, this is unbelievable? Nope, it isn't. The park is just some distance away from here not even a mile. The matron took them to the park that day and let him participate in the competition.
It gives £200 for whoever won. That's why he participated in the competition and won. This money is saved by him for his future use. The orphanage has plenty of funds and its funded by the government. So there is no need to sacrifice his little earning here. Even the matron refused to take it when he gave her those £200.
At this time, while Damian is thinking about his future journey of Hogwarts he left his soul is being pulled by something. His vision darkened and when he opened his eyes, he is in some kind of fog covered town. Strangely it's very empty. As he is thinking a window flashed in front of him.
[ Congratulations! Host, you successfully survived 11 years in world ]
[ Novice mission : Survive without system help before the world canon (Completed) ]
[ Rewards : System unseal, Death Space ]
Damian asked," system, what are your features? ".
[ .... ]
Seeing the system didn't respond, Damian threw a barrage of questions but all ended up in nothing. He can only sigh, while he is sighing, suddenly he saw a lady walking towards him from the fog. He instantly became terrified. This must be death space that his system told him about.
As she stepped out of the fog, Damian blinked. Because she is a pretty woman, she looked at him with a surprised gaze and appraiched him. Damian turned and bolted but he is not match for an adult and the woman succesfully grabbed him.
" Who are you child? Do you know what this place is? Why are you here? Why am I here and not in the afterlife? I'm dragged here by something and left here ", she spoke in a different language but Damian seems to be able to understand her perfectly. Damian blinked and became nervous inside before trying to butter her up," big sister, I'm Damian. I don't know what this place is. Like you something also dragged me. I don't know how to get out, do you how to get out of here pretty big sister ".
The woman chuckled and pinched his cheek a little harder," what a smooth tongue you have. You call me big sister but I'm probably more than your mother's age. *Sigh*, seems like we're both stuck here. Alas, it's a pity that you who are so young died without even seeing anything in life. What a pity. Fate is too cruel sometimes ".
Her gaze turned hazy, distant and melancholic. Just then another person also appeared there while Damian is rubbing his cheek. It's a man, he approached them and asked," excuse me, who ar-? What the fuck? Rowena Ravenclaw. No, this must be some kind of trick. How can Rowena who lived almost a thousand years ago be here. Am I hallucinating? ".
Damian's expression changed for a split second. Rowena Ravenclaw? He gulped looking at her, so this pretty woman is Rowena Ravenclaw huh, one of founders of Hogwarts. Rowena blinked and asked," you know me child. And what do you mean thousand years. For me it's just like I died a few days ago. Hmm, could it be time can also warped in the afterlife. Hmm-hmm, interesting. I wish I have book or my journal to recor-, *smack* oww, who dared to throw a book at my head? If I find that bastard I'll make him dance nonstop for a day. Show yourself ".
Receiving no response, Rowena fumed in anger for a second before turning to the book. She grabbed it and opened it to find a quill in the book. She blinked in surprise and said," somebody is eavesdropping on us. They threw a book as soon as I asked them or is it the plane that is giving everything. Hmm, let's test it again ".
Rowena cleared her throat and said," I wish I had a bowl of meat soup and bread ", immediately a table appeared with some warm meat soup and bread on it. Thousand years ago, this is considered normal food for them. So it's understandable. Rowena's eyes lit up, she scribbled something in her journal and started devouring the soup in big gulps.
Damian meanwhile turned to the man and scrutinized him. He didn't recognise the man at all. No characters from the movies resemble him. Damian blinked and asked," who are you mister? Who is this Rowena Ravenclaw? And what is Hogwarts? ".
The man introduced himself and answered," I'm Gideon Prewett. Rowena Ravenclaw is a famous and powerful witch during 10th century. She along with the 3 other most powerful witches and wizards of their time founded Hogwarts to sefaly nurture those with ability to use magic. Even If I told you, you can't do anything. You died young, probably not even 11. Sigh, what a pity you died so young ".
' can we not talk about that? I feel very alive and connected to my body. I'm just here to see what this weird death space is? ', Damian complicated inwardly. He then said," I think I'm not dead. I feel a connection to my body. Like I can leave and appear here anytime ".
Rowena immediately appeared in front of him and grabbed him," what? You're still alive. But this is a death plane, that fog is the proof of that. How can a living appear here. This is so weird, or maybe you have some kind of special connection to this plane or a treasure that lets you enter here. Some kind of artifact. Anything like a locket, ring, bracelet, amulet or anything. Think carefully, the sensation before you appear here. Remember what exactly happened ".
