Chapter 1: Ch 1 prologue

Being imprisoned and restricted in my soul really sucked. I've spent what feels like a million years being unable to see or hear anything going on around me. I don't know who did this to me or why anyone would even want to do this to me. I've spent most of my life being a researcher. 

The only information I have on who did this to me is from what little those who attacked me said when they rushed into my home and attacked me.They called me a heretic and blasphemer. One of the men who attacked me had a bulls head motif on his armor. 

Almost 35 years ago I began to see and hear what was going on around me and it did not make sense at the time. To go so long without any senses or awareness of the outside world causes one to have hallucinations. It took quite some time to realize the light and sounds were real. Though I could not understand most of the sounds. They seamed like they were distorted and muffled.

My soul seemed to have been placed in a human body. At first I thought I would finally be free. Unfortunately that didn't happen. Instead my prison now contains a view into the life of this human.

I've spent the last 34 years watching the life of my human host. It's nice that I can enjoy something for a change but I'm still imprisoned and I can't do anything but just watch this life. My human host was living a decent life. He has a family that he loves and he works hard to take care of them. It's a shame that he is dealing with chronic depression and nothing seems to be helping yet.

My host is Joseph Dye, and he is 5'10" tall and weighs about 200lbs with blue eyes and light brown hair and a trimmed beard. He has a semi muscular build with a layer of fat over it. 

Today started like any other day. Joseph woke up like every other monday and got ready for work. He started the morning drive through rush hour traffic for work. As he was passing through an intersection a car hit his while traveling at well above the speed limit. The other car impacted on the driver side killing Joseph instantly. 

1Now my soul seems to be merging with Joseph's soul. What the fuck is going to happen now.

Oh thank the gods my magic is back. Hmmm. I think I should heal my hosts body enough that I can take it over. A small healing spell should be enough to fix the life threatening injuries. 'Moderate Heal' . That seemed to work. The major organs are healed, now to enter my new body and get the heart restarted. I'm glade that I learned some medical science from this world, It should let me restart my heart since I can't cast any kind of resurrection spells. 

'Shocking Grasp'. That worked! I'm alive again.... and I just passed out from the pain. Great now I'm trapped in my body and unconscious. Well might as well review my hosts memories and work on building a new mind palace.

Well I'm finally waking up. My body and head feel fuzzy. I wonder what's happened while I was out. 

"Hey Joseph. Are you hurting anywhere? The doctor gave you morphine for the pain." Said a soft women's voice to my right. I'm having trouble seeing her face but I recognize that voice. It's Janice Dye. She is a lovely women of mixed heritage. She is black and Japanese mix. She is 5'2" in height and about 130lbs of curvy goodness. She has long curly dark brown hair just below her shoulders and brown eyes with streaks of green.

"I don't know." I managed to croak out. "Water please." Thanks to Janice's help I manage to drink some water and get some of my voice back. "How long was I out and how bad am I hurt?"

"You have been asleep for about 6 hours. Also your left arm and leg is broken and you have some fractured ribs. The doctors already got you all bandaged up and in casts." She tells me while holding my hand. I guess my healing spell did its job since I don't seem to have any debilitating injuries. I'll just have to let my body heal naturally while I make plans for taking care of this family and getting things ready to go exploring the universe.

"When can I get out of here? Also where are the kids?" I ask Janice as I don't see them in here with us. 

"They said they will discharge you tomorrow and the kids are with your parents." She responds back.

"When we get out of here I need to speak to you about something important. So when you pick me up tomorrow don't bring the kids. Also you should go home and sleep in bed tonight I'll be fine here." I tell her in my best serious voice I can manage. 

"What's so important?" She asks with a raised eyebrow and concern written on her face. 

"I'll tell you when we are alone I don't want anyone to hear what I will tell you." I respond back. That didn't seem to console her any and now she looks worried. Great I always sucked at talking to people and my new memories aren't helping since Joseph was an introvert and also struggled with communicating with others. "It's ok love. It may be serious but it's not end of world serious." Wait do I love her... I don't want to lie to her. Joseph never lied to her. Hmmm. I think whatever happened with our souls merging also gave me his emotions too. I can feel that I do love her and the kids. That's good. I can work with this. She seems to have relaxed a bit that is good. 

"Ok joey I'll leave the kids with your parents tomorrow when I come back here to get you." She responds while looking tired and worried.

"Why don't we just talk about random things for now. Also do you know what happened to my phone? It would be nice to have it after you leave." I quip back trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah sure sounds good and your phone is on that tray to the left with the rest of your things you had on you when you were brought in. I'm gonna have to bring you new clothes for tomorrow since the ones you had on this morning are ruined." She says back sounding more relieved. 

The rest of the day goes by quickly as I have fun talking to Janice before she heads home and I spent the rest of the day doing research on my phone.

---------------------------------------

The following day seems to be going well so far. I did more research on my phone and I don't think I'm on the same planet as I'm originally from. None of the archeological records match anything I remember from a million years ago. Also all of the different sapient species don't exist at all on this planet. I doubt the planet I'm from is in this universe since the odds of humans evolving on 2 different planets in the same universe is very small. The magic on this planet also feels almost nonexistent. It's just a miniscule amount compared to what I am used too. I'm thinking the multi-verse theory holds some weight and I'm going to try using dimensional magic to open a portal outside of this universe to see if I can find other universes to explore. 

I'm glade I made modifications to my soul so that I generate mana for me to use. As a thaumavore I would be in trouble here since there isn't enough mana to live off of, yet alone gather to use for spells. I seem to have access to all of my magic and spells I had before I was imprisoned. I'm an ancient dragon trapped in a place without enough magic to sustain me. Yeah this place would have caused me to die if I wasn't generating so much mana. Thankfully with the rate I am generating mana I can use my magic as long as I don't go overboard. It seems like I reach full mana capacity in my mana core after about four hours. On my old world it only took a couple of minutes. 

I also seem to be able to access my dimensional storage. It's a good thing I kept my favorite magic books in there as well as a large amount of gold coins. I've lost about ninety percent of what I had in my old home since I didn't keep everything in dimensional storage. This will work for now. When I need more resources hopefully I will be on a planet that has what I need. I doubt a world like this would have anything I could use for magic. The tech on this planet is nice though. I plan on stocking up on useful things before I try leaving.

I'm finally leaving the hospital. Janice is here and I'm signing out of the hospital. I hope she doesn't freak out over what happened to Joseph and I. I'm so not looking forward to this. This lady is so loving and caring. I hope I can do right by her. It's strange having feelings like this for someone. Especially since I kinda just woke up feeling this way. I'm not used to caring about anyone especially a human. I've never felt love like this before. I always just stayed alone and did research. Now I have feelings for people I both barely know but also know very well. I have all of Joseph's memories and the emotions tied to them.

Let's get this talk out of the way. "Hey love, so the thing I wanted to tell you is that Joseph died in that car accident. Our souls merged and now I'm both Joseph as well as another being. I used some magic to repair the major damage this body suffered and brought me back to life. I know it sounds crazy but I can perform some magic to prove I know it." I say in a rush. Good thing we are at a red stop light because she is staring at me like I'm crazy. "Here I'll just use a levitation spell and move my phone." 'Telekinesis' I use a simple variation of this spell and move my phone around in the car in front of us. She's watching it with a look a disbelief on her face. I grab my phone and cancel the spell quickly as I see the light is about to change. "Lights green love. I'll answer any questions you have. Just know that I am both Joseph and someone else so I do have love for you and the kids." That seemed to snap her out of the daze she was in and she starts driving again.

"So you have magic and you are a merger of my Joey and someone else. Who are you then?" She asks me while death gripping the steering wheel and staring ahead.

"Well I'm both your Joey and I'm Avernix the dragon. But you don't have to worry about that. I'm going to do what is needed to be a good husband to you and father to our kids. Fortunately I have all of Joey's emotions so I love you and the kids. It's kinda weird for me though. Avernix never loved anyone so having these feelings is new for me and not at the same time." I respond back to her in as clear and confident I can be. 

"So are you a different person now?" She asks nervously.

"Ehh sort of. I have more memories as Avernix then as Joseph since Avernix was about six thousand years old before he was attacked and imprisoned. But I shouldn't be too different since I am also Joseph." I hope she doesn't take that wrong.

"So your what Joseph plus now or Joseph 2.0?" She quips back. This is good if she can crack a joke.

"Yeah more like Joseph 1.5 I haven't upgraded this body and I still have a broken arm and leg." I joke back.

"Yeah you certainly aren't upgraded cripple boy." She laid the sarcasm thick on that one. "Wait why don't you just heal yourself with magic like you did before?" She asks in a confused tone.

"Oh I could but I don't want anyone to know about my magic. I'm hurting a bit but I'll be fine healing the normal way." I say as jokingly as I can.

"Could you teach me magic?" She asks in excitement.

"Yes and no. I can teach you but there isn't enough magic around for you to cast any spells. I could create a mana core for you and use magic to merge it with your body but this world doesn't have any of the needed materials to craft a mana core for a non-magical human." I lazily answer her.

"Oh. So that sucks I wanted to use magic too." She says in a dejected tone.

"Well don't get too sad love. I plan on trying to explore the multi-verse. Before I leave I'm going to make what's called a simulacrum. It's like a clone but it's linked to my soul. It should allow me to go exploring while also being here for you. The simulacrum is me so I will be in two places at once. It's some pretty cool magic but requires a person to be able to have multiple thought streams at once." I enthusiastically explain.

"Wait can I explore the multi-verse too?" She asks with child like wonder.

"Yeah you can. I just need to do the initial exploration alone since we don't have a spaceship." I say while nodding and smiling.

"Why do I need a spaceship and you don't?" She asks.

"Well as a human I would need one too but I can use magic to turn myself into my dragon form. As a dragon I can survive in space way longer then a human can." I say with a cheeky tone.

"Can't you make me a dragon too?" She asks.

"Sure can but then what about the kids. I'm not making our gremlins dragons and I know you wouldn't want to leave them behind." I hope I put enough snark in that one. 

The pout she is trying to use on me is so unfair. "Sigh. Fine you win this one Joey but I expect you to tell me all about what you find and you better take pictures." So glade she didn't push this issue.

"Yeah I can do that." I respond lazily. "I'm just glade you handled the whole extra soul and magic thing so well." I say in as upbeat and happy tone that I can.

"Oh yeah that's weird but you told me what's going on and you seem sincere. It does help that you told me so quickly and you seem to be trying to keep the promise of no lieing too." She responded in a mostly normal tone. 

"So do we tell the rest of the family or keep this a secret like all the others we have?" I ask in a cautious tone.

"I say keep it a secret for now but we might have to tell the kids about your magic soon if you use it." She responds easily.

"Yeah no problem. I haven't used my magic in a long time. I also know how to live without it so that should be easy to hide." I reply.

Arriving at my parents place I'm helped inside and we have a nice afternoon with the kids and my mom.
