The Spellcaster's Manual

“Great End Watcher, Ash Heath! Goodness follows you, evil adores you! Light yearns for you, and Darkness also desires you! You are the existence beyond all, the color that God bestows upon all things!” “Great End Watcher, Ash Heath…” Ash sat on the ice-cold stone seat, looking at the large group of weirdos in black robes kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and praying to him. Beneath his cold and stern face, his heart pounding with dread. This couldn’t be blamed on him. After all, his memory from the previous second was still in that damn mobile game company, pulling an all-nighter until dawn to get the job done. The next second, he suddenly arrived in this strange underground hall to receive everyone’s worship. Anyone would fail to react. What was even more wondrous was that Ash could understand their language, as natural as his mother tongue, without needing to think about translation. He directly comprehended their meaning. When he gradually calmed down, he quickly reached a conclusion: he had transmigrated, and it was a soul transmigration into a person with the same name. From childhood to adulthood, many people had said his name sounded very fantasy-like, but Ash never thought he would one day encounter such a fantastical and absurd event. But he did not have the surname Heath, and precisely because of this, he could quickly determine that he was not dreaming. Not only was the name the same, even the appearance seemed similar. Moreover, Ash discovered through moving his fingers, toes, and other basic parts that the body felt so fluid and natural, as if this was his original equipment. Everything was so seamless and natural that Ash couldn’t help but suspect he had transmigrated to a parallel world version of himself. For the convenience of address, and also because everyone had the same name, Ash secretly called the original owner of this body ‘Heath’ in his heart. But these thoughts were of no help to the current situation, because Ash discovered that Heath had not left him the most important thing. That was memory. Yes, memory! It was as if the transmigration had conveniently formatted Heath’s memories as well. Ash had no idea what to do next, and even his expression had been maintaining this calm state with a hint of evil charm, afraid that others would see through the flaw. Don’t look at how extremely respectful the group of people below the stone seat was to him. If Ash revealed any flaw, the more respectful they were now, the more cruel they would be when they turned against him. After all, in their eyes, Ash this ‘otherworld evil soul’ had erased the soul of the holy son Heath and occupied the body of the holy son Heath. He was truly a great sinner. Coupled with their strong religious color, Ash would not think that saying ‘actually I am also a victim’ would gain their understanding. But sitting like this was not a solution. Ash was already struggling to maintain the subtle smile on his face. Boom boom boom— The underground hall suddenly resounded with rumbling vibrations. The black-robed people were overjoyed, prostrating fully on the ground, foreheads knocking the floor, shouting in unison: “Beseech the Lord of Heaven to descend!” Ash thought it was an earthquake and wanted to stand up, but he discovered that his butt seemed glued to the stone seat and he couldn’t stand up no matter what. Suddenly, dazzling and colorful light illuminated his eyes. He looked up and saw four dazzling arcs of rainbow light floating in the air, bringing color to the hall and also bringing endless warmth. “Great End Watcher, Ash Heath!” They spoke in unison, as if thousands of people were speaking at the same time: “The only pure one in the dim and turbid world, the last brave of the thick earth, you shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the world, the mission of redeeming all beings!” “We will cross the silver celestial wheel to grant you power, we will break the golden celestial scale to shelter your glory! Your name is holy, your will is our will, your kingdom is the land of happiness for all beings!” “Ash Heath!” Unknowingly, Ash discovered that he had already knelt on one knee on the ground, respectfully lowering his head, waiting for the moment glory descended. The red light cluster on the far left said: “I am the Lord of Billions of Glories, in charge of battle, courage, and honor! I grant you the power angel to sweep away all enemies for you!” A female angel holding a long spear and with double wings on her back flew in front of Ash. She wore red battle armor, her body only finger-sized, but her momentum was overwhelming. Ash seemed to see mountains of corpses and seas of blood in her eyes. The blue light cluster second from the left said: “I am the Lord of Wind, Rain, and Snow, in charge of strategy, change, and fate! I grant you the wisdom angel to help you achieve all goals!” A female angel wearing a blue hat and holding a notebook flew in front of Ash, also only finger-sized, with deep eyes as if hiding endless knowledge. The green light cluster second from the right said: “I am the Heart of Eternal Burning Heat, in charge of life, equality, and sharing. I grant you the life angel to help you stay healthy forever!” A fluorescent green female angel like a little girl flew in front of Ash, very cute, with a circle of fluorescent green halo lingering around her, making people feel extremely warm and relaxed. The pink light cluster on the far right said: “I am the Soul of Dreamy Freedom, in charge of love, joy, and art. I grant you the joy angel to help you have transcendent charm!” A pink beautiful female angel flew in front of Ash, with a graceful figure and soul-snatching eyes. Even though her body was only finger-sized, she seemed to be the most beautiful existence in the world. The four angels danced around Ash, adding gorgeous and dazzling glory to Ash. In this instant, Ash felt power continuously surging out, his body full of energy, his mood extremely pleasant, countless plans emerging in his mind—everything was unbelievably good! The Lord of Billions of Glories, the Lord of Wind, Rain, and Snow, the Heart of Eternal Burning Heat, and the Soul of Dreamy Freedom said simultaneously: “Brave favored by fate, watcher who sees through cause and effect, please go create miracles and save the world!” With a sound like bubbles breaking, the four descended heavenly gods gradually dissipated, but the underground hall was still bright, because Ash with four angels was simply a walking rainbow. Ash clenched his fist, the corners of his mouth upturned, revealing a confident smile. Unexpected, unexpected! He had thought this sudden transmigration was a big pit, but it turned out to be a benefit. He had actually become the Hero of this world, with the shelter of four divine spirits and the support of countless believers. What a wonderful script! Next was to defeat monsters, save the world, marry the most beautiful princess, become the king of this world, and reach the pinnacle of life! Dong! A loud noise came from the ceiling. The foremost black-robed believer said: “Hero, the bloodmad hunters have found this place! Now we can only rely on you to repel them!” Bloodmad hunters? Sounds like villain roles. Ash estimated they were the starter mobs for him to farm reputation and familiarize with skills. He heroically drew the long sword at his waist and proudly said: “Where my sword points, there is no enemy! Let these bloodmad hunters become the first batch of souls under my sword! Someone, lead the way!” “No need, we came ourselves.” With a boom, the ceiling of the underground hall directly exploded! Ash looked up and saw a group of enemies wearing silver trench coats, holding blood-patterned long swords, and wearing hunter hats jumping down from above! “Come well!” Ash roared: “Power!” “Wisdom!” “Life!” “Joy!” The four angels added shelter to Ash together. At this moment, Ash felt he could s***h the enemy in two with one sword! He had no fear, roared, jumped up, and slashed at the foremost bloodmad hunter, even sending forth a blade of Sword Qi that sliced through the air! Under the blessing of the gods, I have actually become so powerful! Now I have the protection of a defense barrier and endless stamina. Let’s see who can defeat me! Just as Ash was secretly proud in his heart, he heard the bloodmad hunter on the opposite side sneer. “Just this?” The bloodmad hunter’s face revealed a ferocious smile, casually waving the long sword. The long sword instantly turned into a chain sword several meters long, slashing out blood-red sword qi several meters long! Ash’s sword qi was instantly swallowed, the defense barrier on his body was also instantly shattered, the entire underground hall was ripped open by the bloodmad hunter's sword, and a huge c***k opened under Ash’s feet! Watching the opponent defeat him destructively, Ash hadn’t reacted for a while: “How is this possible…” “Just having four two-wing chaos spellspirits, and they’re not even your own. Where do you get the nerve to fight a three-wing sanctuary with me?” With a whoosh of mad wind, three wings sprouted from the bloodmad hunter’s back: the silver wing, the golden wing, and the Seven-Colored Wing! He retracted the chain sword into long sword form, surged toward Ash like a flying dragon, pierced Ash’s chest with one sword, and nailed him to the stone seat! Ash had to sit down again. He vomited blood, stared blankly as the bloodmad hunter took off the small lantern at his waist. Somehow the hunter activated it, and the lantern suddenly emitted blinding white light. The angels who were trying to continue granting power to Ash let out desperate and hateful screams under this white light. Their forms could no longer maintain their previous beauty and became extremely ugly one by one! The power angel turned into an ugly mantis, The wisdom angel turned into a rotten fly, The life angel melted into pale maggots, The joy angel even turned into a foul-smelling stench gas! Courage, wisdom, joy, life—various shelters rapidly faded from Ash’s body. He was also stimulated by the severe pain in his chest and completely sobered up, his face revealing confusion. What just happened? He was just an ordinary person who had transmigrated over, knowing no intelligence. Why did he suddenly become so arrogant and overbearing, participating in a war that had nothing to do with him? How could this be an operation that a normal wage slave who had been beaten by society for several years could do? While Ash was stunned, the battle in the underground hall had already ended. The black-robed believers were completely no match for the bloodmad hunters. The bloodmad hunter standing in front of Ash pulled out a scroll from his arms, unfolded it in front of Ash, revealing the red-stamped document inside: “I am bloodmad hunter Gerald · Westminster of the Sin-Hunting Hall, hunter number 307791. The Sin-Hunting Hall now suspects you of being related to the Four Pillars God cult propagation case, multiple k********g cases, murder cases, robbery cases, and other vicious crimes. This is the arrest warrant signed by the Kaimon City Sin-Hunting Hall. If you have any opinions about our law enforcement, you can complain at the front desk of the Sin-Hunting Hall Kaimon Branch at 233 Citizen Avenue, or directly feedback to the mayor’s mailbox.” “So, now.” The bloodmad hunter put away the arrest warrant, took out a pair of silver shackles, personally put this rather exquisite pair of bracelets on Ash, the corners of his mouth upturned, revealing ghastly white fangs: “Four Pillars God cult leader, Ash Heath, you are under arrest.”
