(H.P: The ring maker)Ritual of nature

On the final day of April Nick went to the island and shuddered as he felt the dense ambient mana in the islands atmosphere. It was like a heavy dome of pure mana sitting over the island and just being in it filled him with energy and a false sense of omnipotence. 'This might cause some problems after Grindelwald sets off his ritual.' Nick thought with a frown. He could tell that this false sense of power came from the sort of high that came from going from a low ambient mana environment to a...

(RPJ)Chapter 63: First battle

'I can't afford to stay still like this , I suppose I should use those two tickets on the way to the next town.' I thought after completing my daily workout which at the same time the system handed out my five item tickets before resetting the quest for the next week. The only reason I was even still in iron town was because the Vulpix I caught previously was only going to it's new home today and the rest of my payment will come through along with the quest. Apathy is a bit funny in how hard ...

(H.P: The ring maker)Air atronach

Bloodbinding was not a new concept from another world or anything as this world also used it in several ways as well. The vaults at Gringotts for example are bound to a bloodline via this method the first time a new member of the bloodline wants access to them. That was the truth of the inheritance test at Gringotts , not only was it to determine ones bloodline but also to allow the goblins to make a new key to the vaults. That key was bound to the person who underwent the test thanks to this...

(H.P: The ring maker)Atronach forge(2)

Nick didn't intend on taking prisoners to torture so the room was repurposed to house the forge since the things the forge made might be rather volatile at first. Atronachs were magical constructs and as a result wouldn't try and keep their surroundings intact when they were first "born". Nick would need to command the newly created things to restrain themselves before he allowed them out of this room. That was for later though as at this moment Nick started to take the individual rings of th...

(RPJ)Chapter 62: Rain

The old man sat in his seat next to the anvil while the metal in the mold cooled into shape and he slowly but consistently fed the mold his aura. I noticed that he was starting to get low and suggested I take over while he recovered. He accepted this idea and let me pour my aura into the mold in a trickle fashion with majority of it going through the stone and into the metal. It was an unusual feeling as I could sense my aura pressing against the metal and carving new pathways into it's molte...

(H.P: the ring maker)Atronach forge

After his birthday Nick waited a few days before heading up into space to retrieve his accumulated harvest. It came as little surprise to him that each of the marbles were now the size of a mansion on average. Unfortunately most of that size came from the material attached top the star metal rather than the metal itself. After placing each of the massive collections into the realm Nick fed anything that wasn't valuable to him to the realm to fuel it's growth. This was what consisted of the ma...

(H.P: The ring maker) Birthday(2)

To be fair Nick knew he was probably being more than a little wasteful with the parts he chose to use but the ritual did specify that the rarity and power of the creature whose parts were used effected how big of a boost he received from the ritual. He wanted the best possible increase in his mana reserves which was why he was using a unique only one in the world part like the heart of a daedra. The rest of the parts while certainly extremely rare likely had others just the same somewhere in ...

(RPJ)Chapter 61: Making the spear

For the wooden handle I chose Sinnohen ironwood which was an incredibly heavy and durable form of ironwood found on the slopes of Mt. Coronet. It was actually a very popular wood for martial artist to build training dummies out of because it was durable enough to withstand attacks from pokemon bellow tier 4 danger level. This meant that even while superhuman levels of strength are used on these dummies they don't break. Unfortunately the tree while it is alive is far more durable and thus muc...

(H.P: the ring maker)Birthday

Nick woke up as per usual on his birthday and cleaned up before sitting in the common room and working on his arithmancy calculations for the changes of the animagi ritual. He had made pretty good progress in his opinion as he was already on his eighty fifth attempt at getting a success from his predictions. The previous eighty four attempts had ended in decreasingly catastrophic failures that turned him into something closer to a werewolf than a magical Animagus. Still he was getting closer ...

(H.P: The ring maker)One month

It wasn't all that hard to get Steve healthy again as the stubborn critter was easy to trick into exercising. All Nick had to do was transfigure an uncatchable ball from the twins into gold and then release it in front of the niffler. It was shocking just how motivated a niffler can be when the prospect of loot existed. The twins had already perfected the ball so the only way to get it after it was released was the deactivation spell. Steve looked half dead by the time Nick retrieved the ball...

(RPJ)Chapter 60: Aura smith

Once the Vulpix got down the basics of sunny day I captured it without any struggle and made my way back to town. Despite them grumbling about it Gaia and Vulcan were also returned to their balls while Tank was released and took his place on my shoulder. I still had people stare at me when I walked through the town but it wasn't as bad as the first time since it wasn't my first appearance here anymore. I approached the job turn in desk that was manned by a male member of the Joy clan surprisi...

(H.P: the ring maker)Breakthrough

Nick pretty much left Lucas be for the next month save the occasional check in to make sure the vampire wasn't having any issues memorizing the information. During this time period he had greatly familiarized himself with the enchantment for the rings of protection. To the point in fact that he could lightly tap a ring once and complete the enchanting process with only a small amount of his energy lost to power the enchantment. This had caused his daily total to skyrocket from two hundred and...

(H.P: the ring maker)Approaching chaos

That was of course no longer the case since Nick had basically solved all the problems Lucas would have had at this point and even elevated his position in the world. He would after all be the second person in the world to truly know and understand how to create and enchant things as Nick does. This didn't even begin to include the fact he could be considered a subordinate of house Ravenclaw and as such despite being a vampire was fairly powerful from a political standpoint. That vampress wou...

(RPJ)Chapter 59: Vulpix and Ninetales

Unlike in the games where pokemon only showed up in certain places depending on their species this was reality and many species of pokemon could be found in places that suited them but was far from where they would be found in the game. Vulpix in this case tended to live anywhere that was decently cold or oddly enough very hot. Iron town for example was built near one of the "hot" spots of the Hoenn region that was a fiery and scorched place from the regular up flow of lava. This thankfully w...

(H.P: The ring maker)Hierarchy

With that settled Nick sealed the deal with an unbreakable oath from Lucas causing a permanent magical tattoo of a black chain to appear on his wrist. Nick tossed the ring to the vampire after that and Lucas slipped it on his ring finger before staggering in place as it took effect. "Why HA Am HA I so Ha tired!?" Lucas asked freaked out while panting heavily. "Because until now all of your mana has been in a single circulatory system which was your magical circuits or your blood in the case o...

(H.P: The ring maker)Making a deal

Nick had no reason to keep Lucas's employ hidden from any of the professors as he knew none of them would spread the information around. If anything after learning that Lucas became a vampire they would thank him like Flitwick did. Sad as it may be they simply didn't have the resources needed to make sure every student that passes through their classrooms have a good life. Still this didn't mean that they didn't hope for the best and occasionally lend some aid if they could. With the ring fin...

(H.P: The ring maker)Lo Rie

"You are late it seems , you just missed Grindelwald." Nick said tiredly causing Dumbledore to have a disoriented look. He came here thinking that he would be fighting Voldemort but instead all the enemies were gone and apparently Grindelwald was here for some weird reason. So it was quite understandable that he was rather lost at the moment. Nick wasted no time at all explaining what had happened in the brief period that they had been separated and even supplying Voldemorts wand as proof. "S...

(H.P: The ring maker)Grindelwald

Nick didn't waste the power of Voldemort though after his death as once it had been purified by the arrows attacking it he was left with roughly half of the original mana that dispersed into the realm freely. Thanks to this the ambient mana was now just barely below the level it was in Hogwarts. Nick took his time rearming himself with all his protective artifacts as well as his wand and then left the realm ready to fight it out with Nagini and the cloaked figure. However to his great surpris...

(H.P: The ring maker)Tricked

"And so it is that we finally meet , the last true descendants of Slytherin and Ravenclaw both in the isles. If only you hadn't touched that which I hold most precious above all else , perhaps you could have joined me as I built a new world , a better one." Voldemort said with a faint and raspy voice that gave Nick goosebumps. If nothing else he could admit that the man was creepy as hell in person. He sensed Voldemorts magic and confirmed the unrepairable taint and decay that filled his size...

(H.P: The ring maker)Voldemorts final show(2)

Since the enchantment was made using only daedric runes rather than using the Celebrimbor style of enchantment Nick needed to carefully carve out each and every rune with the correct intent and position. This took him about two days since he wanted to get it in a single go rather than make small mistakes and rush it. Still he finished it up and just in time too as that same day Flitwick approached him about a strange letter he had received. Nick thanked him for the dealing with the inconvenie...

(RPJ)Chapter 58: Iron town

Just because I couldn't train Tank for battle at the moment didn't mean I wouldn't be forcing him to work on energy manipulation. I am actually pretty sure that even if he couldn't learn any more moves until be becomes a Butterfree other than harden that this training will come in handy later. Tank was all for it too since he agreed that just sitting on my shoulder stuffing his face constantly with berries wasn't the absolute best use of his time. Still the only types of energy he had availab...

(H.P: The ring maker)Voldemorts final show

Nick had chosen to ignore Voldemort after destroying all the item horcruxes since no matter what the man was doomed to stagnation after losing so much of his soul permanently. His return merely meant that he might make a nuisance of himself a bit earlier than in cannon in Nicks opinion but obviously he was wrong. Add on his purifying and evil destroying sol shot arrows and the man was hardly even much of an irritation since he was easy to kill. As a result Nick frankly didn't care about him a...

(H.P: the ring maker)Hostage situation

Nick failed to take something in mind when he used the portkey however that made his appearance in Hogsmeade very loud. See when a wizard or other creature apparate the loud "pop!" that is heard comes from the air getting displaced as they take off and land. Since port keys operate on roughly the same principle the surroundings are affected by the travel based on what they were. This meant that when Nick used the port key in the vacuum of space a piece of that vacuum came with him. The moment...

(RPJ)Chapter 57: Tank and alchemy

"If you aren't already aware I am your new trainer , Alex. These two are Gaia and Vulcan and currently have a huge headstart on you in terms of training." I said and the Caterpie nodded in understanding. "Pi! Caterpie! Cat!" the creatures said and I was not surprised at all to get the rough translation that he wanted a badass name. "Why do my pokemon always want awesome names? Do you all have any idea how hard it is to think of stuff like this on the fly!?" I asked in exasperation. -

No...

(H.P: The ring maker)Space

Nick was obviously unaware of all of this of course but even if he knew he wouldn't have done anything different. He spent the next few days relaxing in between his enchantments of the rings of protection that had more than doubled per day. That was if he focused all of his time on the things though which he was not but he maintained his daily output of two hundred and forty rings. At ten points a pop Nick was rapidly racking up points that he was saving for a rainy day.-

To be more spe...

(H.P: The ring maker) Black market

Nick didn't make any detours as he walked and soon reached his destination in the form of a small run down looking shack hidden between two houses. If you didn't know any better then you might assume that this was merely a shed for storing things outside your house. Nick found out about this place thanks to Hagrid not being able to keep his mouth shut if plied with good booze and in good company. It might be a cheap trick but it worked well so Nick wasn't above using it to get what he needed....

(RPJ)Chapter 56: New pokemon

"That obvious huh?" I asked with a sigh and he nodded "Yup , started to get really bad in your pokemons cases about a week ago." Birch said honestly. I knew what he was talking about and couldn't really blame them for it either. Both Gaia and Vulcan had been going stir crazy after not being able to train the way they wanted to and were starting to glare at absolutely everyone but me as a result. This wasn't to say they didn't understand why we were staying here for the moment as well as why w...

(H.P: The ring maker)Vampire assistant

The final and frankly largest downside to the condition however came in the form of them losing nearly all access to conventional magic after they are turned. It isn't so much as it cut the connection between them as the mana in their bodies stop flowing through their circuits but rather now saturate their blood itself. Without using ones magical circuits it was VERY hard to use normal magic thus the general inability to perform magic in the vampire population. The nature of the magical chang...

(H.P: The ring maker) Interesting pickpocket

Every person he killed is a unique thing within the world that will never return to it and that was valuable. Once that loses value then nearly everything does as well and you start to slip into the cold ways of evil wizards. It may not be immediate and may even take quite some time but eventually the "how" you obtain favorable results will start to matter less than the results themselves. It was one of the reasons Nick disliked Dumbledore so much as he was starting to care less about the "ho...

(RPJ)Chapter 55: Brendan

May had a bit of a rude awakening though when the runt refused to listen to her orders at first and clearly did not respect her at all. I honestly wasn't all that surprised about since the little dude probably noticed her newness to the whole trainer thing. Considering that it was sorta my fault that the runt had unreasonably high demands for it's trainer I pulled it aside and explained that I was a freak of nature to put it lightly and that most new trainers will be far worse than me at it. ...
