A Flugel's Gacha

I panted softly as I did push-ups, pumping up and down off the ground in a slow, steady rhythm. Sweat coated my body as I pushed myself hard, to the point I could see that a literal puddle had started to form beneath me.

[Mm~] BB hummed, licking her lips eagerly. [Senpai's giving me a show tonight~ I think I'm starting to see some muscles on that cute body~]

"Is the only thing… That you do… Perv on me?" I grunted as I kept doing push-ups, really feeling the strain in my muscles as I pushed myself.

[Nope, I also perv on some of the cute fairy girls too~ Did you know that Erza has a leopard print amazon-style outfit? In the style you'd imagine a cavewoman would wear? It's pretty hot~ Maybe I should get one of those~]

"I hate you!"

[No, you don't~]

I just grunted as I stopped my push-ups, rolling onto my side and staring up at the sky as I took deep breaths… I wasn't going to be able to get that mental image out of my head now… Bitch!

Three weeks had passed since I'd obtained Virgo's Key, with canon rapidly coming up… I'd been hearing tales about a 'Salamander' in Hargeon, so it wouldn't surprise me if Nozomi came back from the job and decided to investigate.

During those three weeks, I'd been training my magic and my body as best as I could… My Steel God Magic had been upgraded to Initiate Rank as I developed more spells, basing them mostly on Gajeel's own abilities. I was capable of morphing my body parts into different shapes, which would be damn useful in the future, but I would need to improve the magic itself as well if I really wanted to push it into the upper ranks.

None of my other magics had improved beyond intermediate, which I had expected. I'd already concluded that, in order to move into the Expert Rank, I would need to develop exceptional magical attacks, or further refine my magic… In other words – I needed to develop a spell equivalent to that of a Dragon Slayer Secret Art.

I'd also yet to develop any additional abilities on my God's Eye… I felt I was close to making some kind of breakthrough in regard to some of the initial Sharingan abilities, but there was something of a 'wall' that I had yet to overcome…

During the three weeks, not much had happened in the guild. The only major thing of note was Erza had left for an S-Class Quest, likely where she'd obtain the horn that she'd carried back to the guild just before the Eisenwald Mission.

However, I had noticed that Levy was getting more and more irritated… I could see it in her eyes, that she was probably so close to snapping at Jet and Droy. She was holding it in, but everyone had noticed, and we were all just waiting for the inevitable blowup at this point.

[So, Senpai~] BB hummed as she floated above me. [Are you going to use your 6 month spin now?]

That was right… I'd hit the 6 month mark since my arrival in this world this morning, a week before canon was due to begin. I hadn't yet rolled, but I saw no reason not to do so now… Even if I didn't use the magic right away, it would still be useful to me down the line.

"Alright, go ahead," I nodded.

She grinned as that giant wheel appeared once again and she grabbed the side. [BB-Chan… Spiiiiin! ~] She spun the wheel with all her might, and it began to spin at an intense speed.

I watched and waited as it gradually slowed… Slowed… Until finally-

[You have obtained Gravity Magic.]

I felt my eyes light up with excitement… Gravity Magic was one that I wanted to learn both as training magic, and also because it was damned useful in almost any combat scenario. I quickly opened my mastery to read more details.

Gravity Magic (Initiate)

Magic allowing one to freely control Gravity.

Spells

Increase – Allows the user to increase the gravity on an object or person.

I hummed as I read it and felt information filling my mind… So, I would need to train in order to increase the amount of Gravity I could use on others. And, currently, I was limited to only increasing gravity on a singular object or person. I was very far from Kagura or Blueno, the latter of whom was even capable of creating a pseudo Black Hole with his magic.

However, now that I had Gravity Magic, I might be able to implement the abilities of the Deva Path of the Rinnegan into my God's Eye once I gained better mastery over it... Or, at least, it would make doing so much easier. I would definitely have to at least study the theory behind each magic I wanted to utilise in my God's Eye.

That included Death Magic, given that was essentially what the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception were for. Seeing the 'lines' of death, and then cutting them.

… Fuck, was this going to get Ankherseram on my ass?

[Oh, you don't need to worry about him~] BB said sweetly. [After all, you belong to BB-chan, I'd never let that stingy, stuck-up, hypocritical god do anything bad to you~]

… Right, BB was an Outer God. Someone like Ankherseram, who was limited to this planet, would mean absolutely nothing to someone like BB who could casually interfere with the Multiverse- as shown by the fact she'd even brought me to another world in the first place.

'My Lover is an Eldritch God' wouldn't be a terrible name for a light novel…

I slowly rose to my feet and made my way over to the nearby lake, taking a seat beside it and sighing contently as I rest my legs in it. "Mm… Much better…" I murmured, laying down on the ground and staring at the sky.

… It was nice to relax from time to time, given I'd been doing almost nothing but work since my arrival in this world… Maybe I should take this last week leading up to canon off? I was a B-Class Mage, but I wasn't far from reaching A-Class if I performed a few more missions.

Hell, given all Fairy Tail was bound to go through in the next few months… I would probably become A-Class by the time of the S-Class Trials at the very least.

I pushed those thoughts out of my mind for the moment, deciding not to focus on them… I had a week before canon began, and I decided I would use it to relax. No training, no missions, just relaxing for once. God knows I'd earned it after five months of non-stop work.

I sighed contently as I relaxed against the bar at Fairy Tail, downing a glass of water after enjoying a plate of Mavis's pasta. "That was delicious, thank you Mavis."

"Not a problem," she smiled. "I was a little surprised that you finally decided to take a break."

"Is it?"

"Anyone could see that you've been really pushing yourself ever since you joined the guild," she rolled her eyes. "So, to see you take a break for a week like this was a surprise… Also, pretty relieving."

I offered a shrug, "I worked hard, I deserve a break for all the effort I've been putting in… Pretty sure normal people can't say they reached B-Class in five months, so I decided to take it slow and work my way to A-Class at a more sedated pace."

Honestly, I'd only rushed to B-Class because I wanted Virgo's Key… Partially because I wasn't very good at cleaning and she was a great Maid, but also because I was a horny bastard, and she was easy.

Though I hadn't done anything with her yet… I wasn't a wuss, no matter what BB said! I just didn't want to sleep with her if we didn't actually get along or weren't compatible… I knew I was kind of a scumbag, but I wasn't a total scumbag…

'Wonder how long that'll last?' I thought to myself… I was ageless, how long would it take for me to slowly lose my morals? How long would it take until I was the kind of person who just took what I wanted without a regard for anyone else?

I clutched Virgo's key in my hand, letting out a tired sigh. Fuck, why was I thinking about this now? This is what happens when my mind wanders!

'BB, non-sexually distract me!'

[… I'm an Eldritch God, not a miracle worker.]

'Bullshit!'

"Well, what are your plans besides upping your class?" Mavis asked. "I know most Wizards have a goal, like Nozomi wants to find her father. But I don't think you've ever mentioned it if you have any kind of goal."

"A goal?" I hummed. "That's a rather good question…" I tapped my chin in thought. "Honestly, all I really want right now is strength. I know you shouldn't seek power for power's sake, but mindlessly getting stronger is the only thing I've done for awhile in order to protect myself. Now that I can protect myself pretty well, I honestly… Don't know what it is I want besides more strength."

 "There's nothing wrong with that," Mavis assured me. "It's not as if you're obsessed with power, you clearly understand that you shouldn't go after it just for the sake of it…" A bitter look came onto her face, as if remembering something unpleasant.

'Hm… Is she remembering Hades?' I thought, recalling that the leader of Grimoire Heart was once the Second Guild Master of Fairy Tail…

Wait, a thought occurred… One of the reasons Hades left Fairy Tail and started Grimoire Heart was because of Mavis becoming Fairy Heart…

But Mavis, from what I could tell, had never 'died' and thus started Hades' spiral… So, if Mavis hadn't become Fairy Heart…

Then who was encased in Crystal beneath the Guild right now?

I shook my head, taking a deep breath.

Nope, wasn't gonna think about it. I was not concerning myself with this, I don't care how many spins I might get for interfering in this shit. Not my damn problem, I would tackle my problems one at a time thank you.

[You suuuure you don't wanna know if there is someone down there?] BB teased.

'I will throw Holy Water on you.'

[Do you really think Holy Water would work on me?]

'I can try!'

BB snickered. [You're adorable, Senpai~ I wish you'd act like this all the time~]

'I actually hate you.'

[No, you don't~]

Ignoring the delusional Kouhai- [You're the delusional one here~]- I hummed softly as I tried to remember how the start of Fairy Tail went after Hargeon…

If memory served, Macao had left the guild around the time I started my break… Right, Romeo- god, Rule34 and fanfictions had ruined him as a character for me- was tired of being picked on by the other kids because of his dad who 'sits around and drinks all day' and demanded his dad go do a job to show them who's boss.

So, Nozomi and Lucy would be saving him in a day or two, nothing to worry about…

Then there would have been the Daybreak Arc, but I'd already taken that off the board… And then right after that was Eisenwald, the first 'big' event in the timeline… If I wanted to start obtaining more Gacha Rolls, then I would need to make certain I joined that arc… Plus, they wouldn't be able to escape without Virgo, so I was extra needed.

Though, that was also just assuming that things didn't change simply due to the butterfly effect…

Or rather, assuming BB didn't change things for her own entertainment…

[Who knows~]

I just rolled my eyes and shook my head at her reaction, before I perked up slightly as a familiar scent entered my nose… My senses had finally gotten an upgrade due to using all my Dragon Slaying Magic, so I could actually smell in the same way that Nozomi could.

And right now, I was smelling the distinctive scent of smoke and heat coming from outside the guild.

BAM!

The doors were kicked open as Nozomi made her way into the guild, a familiar blonde pulling a suitcase along behind her. "I'm back!" Nozomi greeted everyone with a happy grin on her face.

"Welcome back!" Everyone chimed, while my eyes were locked on the familiar figure…

Blonde hair in a side ponytail, brown eyes, wearing a hilariously short skirt and boots, and a set of golden and silver keys sitting snuggly on her waist?

Lucy Heartfilia, the one who started everything the day she joined Fairy Tail. A chain reaction caused from her joining the guild that eventually led a magical adventure the likes of which this world had never seen.

'Canon has begun.'
