Black Clover: Power Magic

First, what I want to say is that this story will follow the manga line, which means he will join the Black Bulls. If you don't like that, you're welcome not to read it.

This won't be a harem story.

-Give me some options, and I'll narrow them down to see which ones have potential. Or it could be an OC; I'll decide then.

With that clarified, let's begin this story.

It was a very cold day. I felt like my hands were freezing, even while wearing wool gloves.

"Should I buy myself a coffee?"

It was a day when it was quite cold. Just having my hands outside my jacket made them feel like they were freezing.

I exhaled to see the white mist leaving my mouth due to the cold.

"20 years old, and you're still doing the same silly thing, but what can I do? It's fun."

I started walking down the street, which was extremely icy because it had been raining. Now that it had finally stopped a little, I kept walking.

I could have left earlier, but I didn't want to go home, though without any particular reason—I just didn't want to go back.

I saw a supermarket, so I went in to buy something.

It was a normal purchase. There were a few people, which made me take longer to leave, but nothing that concerned me.

I bought a pack of cookies and a hot coffee. After about 30 minutes in line, I was finally able to leave.

"A small pack of cookies and a coffee. I think it would've been better to buy some fries from a food truck."

I started drinking the coffee, but it was hot. I felt a drop of water on my shoulder, so I ran to find a place to take cover from the rain.

"Why did I go out on a rainy day?"

I saw an empty bus stop, so I quickly made my way there.

As soon as I got there for shelter, I felt a strange buzzing in my ears, but after a few seconds, it passed.

I watched the rain fall, which I found relaxing, so I stayed there, enjoying it.

I checked my phone, and the news was already reporting that this was one of the coldest days and that the streets were flooding. I could only wait for a bus to arrive.

I waited an hour, but nothing happened. Then, I thought of checking my phone again and saw an alert that some streets would be inaccessible for buses, and they would only pass on the main road. So, I had to go there.

"I shouldn't have gone out."

I finished my coffee and put away the cookies to wrap myself up and run toward the main road.

The rain had intensified, and the streets were filled with water, leaving my feet soaked.

To reach the main road, I had to cross a bridge that was overflowing, so at least I wouldn't have to worry about the water.

While crossing the bridge, I saw a person on the railing, which worried me a bit, but I kept going.

I got closer, and the person started climbing onto the railing, so I quickly ran to grab them and pull them back to stop what they were doing.

I managed to pull them onto the bridge, putting them in safety, but I fell off due to the water-covered ground.

As I fell, I looked up at the sky, which was completely cloudy. The rain hit my face, and a thought crossed my mind... 'I wish my family wouldn't remember me.'

When I hit the water, I felt myself sinking to the bottom of the river, but I didn't feel bad. Instead, it was relaxing, as if nothing could hurt me.

It was absolutely strange because I felt no pain, nor did I feel like I was drowning, but the cold started to seep in.

'Is this how it all ends?'

I closed my eyes and felt as if darkness was enveloping me.

I don't know how much time passed, but then I saw a blinding light. I slowly opened my eyes, and when they were fully open, I saw that I was in a very clean place.

'Did they rescue me?'

I tried to get up, but moving was difficult.

'Am I that injured?'

I tried to speak to let them know I was awake, but only an unintelligible sound came out.

'What? What was that?'

I tried speaking again, but once more, that strange sound came out.

'What is happening?!'

I started panicking a little, but then a strange screen appeared in front of me.

[You have died]

'What is this?'

I looked at the blue screen with text in front of me.

[As I just said, you have died. When you fell off the bridge, you drowned and were reincarnated into a new body and world.]

'Well, it was kind of obvious that I was going to die after falling off the bridge. Who are you? Or rather, what are you?'

[I am the Improvement System, and I am here to help you.]

'Help me? How?'

[I can grant you better abilities through training, although, at this moment in your life, you won't be able to do anything.]

'What do you mean?'

[You are a baby, so your body is incapable of doing any training.]

Upon reading that, I tried lifting my hand and saw a small, chubby hand.

'I'm a baby now!!'

I started moving violently, trying to scream.

I heard footsteps, so I stopped for a moment and looked toward a door.

"Little one, you're awake."

A nun came in and picked me up in her arms.

"Poor thing, you must be hungry."

'Huh? Am I in a church?'

The nun carried me to sit down, and I started worrying. Since I was a baby, that meant I had to drink milk.

'Nooo! I don't want to drink milk!'

The nun pulled out a bottle to feed me, so I turned my head away to avoid drinking it.

"Regis, you need to drink milk."

The nun touched my head, and I felt something warm. Then, she placed the bottle in my mouth so I could drink the milk.

I started drinking it, which I didn't understand.

'Why?!'

[Your body needs to drink milk, so even if you don't want to, you will.]

'This is bullshit!'

The nun started stroking my head, making me feel sleepy.

'I don't want to sleep.'

I tried with all my might to stay awake, but I ended up falling asleep anyway.

A week. A damn week in this new body, and it has been horrible.

The embarrassment of being undressed for diaper changes, getting washed, being fed... It's awful.

'How much longer until I can walk?'

[Around 12 months old, a baby can start walking, though there have been cases where babies walk at six months. However, it depends on various factors.]

'Then I'll be one of those. I need help to make it happen. Can you give me training?'

[It is difficult in your current state, as you are only a few weeks old.]

'Is there nothing I can do?'

[Hold on a moment.]

[...]

[...]

[...]

[I have training for you.]

'Go ahead! I'll do anything!'

[Training 1]

[Resist the urge to sleep: 0/10]

'Is this some kind of joke?'
