「1」Who I Am

『Where am I?』

『I'm still alive, right?』

A ringing echo clouded my hearing, as my eyes struggled to focus on reality at hand although it was at my very reach. Everything was spinning, although I was certain I was staying still. I laid weakly sprawled across a cold floor, my face laying on its side on the rough ground. My hands miserably shaking as I tried with all of my might to sit up.

Wait, do my arms seem thinner than before? Why am I so pale? And who the hell dyed my hair blue?

How long had I been out?

I heard some footsteps approach me, a larger figure not that far behind, seemingly threatening. I willed my head to look upwards, my heavy eyes widening as I tried to snap them into focus. There seemed to be a smashed wall in front of me, it's rubble surrounding my figure. I really couldn't make out my surroundings all that well. But slowly, my senses began to return back to me.

"...Miss? Hello?" A boy called out, his voice so oddly familiar, a hand waving in front of me attempting to grasp my attention. As my vision finally decided to stop being a bitch, I finally saw who it was.

"...Asta?" I had meant my voice to come off as confused but excited at the same time, cause it's not everyday you meet the lovable dumbass protagonist of your favorite show. But my voice hadn't listened, and it came off as a mere pathetic whisper.

『Wait, am I... in Black Clover?』

His facade staggered as his emerald eyes widened. "How do you..." He looked at me questionably, about to finish his sentence. "ASTA! WATCH OUT!" Many voices had called out, all of them familiar to my ear. Behind the muscular, short boy, was an armored pale, young man with pink gems implanted into his forehead as if it was a third eye. Mars, one of the Diamond Kingdom's Eight Shining Generals, and the sole survivor of the human experimentation to enhance his magic power.

Mars was armored with crystals, strengthening him to be built as a Titan of crystals.

I widened my eyes, as the giant crystalized sword descended at an ungodly speed. Coming straight down onto us as it sought out for our blood. As strength began to revive in my bones, adrenaline rushed throughout my veins as I noticed the pitch black sword arising from my pale skin. It was Asta's second sword. What in the holy genuine fxck.

"ASTA!" I yelled in a panic, throwing the sword that had arisen from my skin to the main protagonist. As expected, he had broken through the mana created sword with a huge collision, sending multiple pieces flying in several directions. A large piece sent flying towards the injured Silva and vulnerable Vermilion.

Oh, fuck! He's not going to make it in time! I yelled in my head, uselessly reaching out to the royals that I had grown attached to as I had read Black Clover.

However, a sense of deja vu rang in my body as time froze around me, Noelle and Mimosa unmoving as they desperately tried to protect one another, Klaus's and Luck's worried expressions staying true to their faces. All stayed, stuck and frozen in the binds of time. All but me, and the one that had frozen time himself. In the corner of my eye, Yuno had broken free of his crystal bindings, a small pixie dressed in green yawning lazily on his shoulder.

Softly, the pixie blew, using her tiny hands to direct her breath. And just like that, all of the shards had completely shattered into molecules drifting along with the wind.

Bell, the sylph wind spirit.

Time had finally begun again, and suddenly my body fell limp, my frail body slowly falling towards the chilly ground once more. I shut my eyes awaiting for the hard impact, although fortunately instead I was met with a warm embrace catching me softly.
