The Autobiography of Ben Fett by Titanium Bear
My name is Ben Fett, and I was born into one of the Buga wizarding families. Wizards are supposed to be thin and weak. However, my people are all tall and strong. My ancestors were warriors, and they came here as wizards' guards. It was only after they came to Buga that they switched to magic. This was also used by other wizards to prove that wizards were better than warriors. That's why the Fett family's emblem is a fierce but smart brown bear. Although my people don't look like wizards, they are very strong in magic. Otherwise, my family wouldn't be known as the sixth wizarding family in Buga.
Buga was the home of wizards. The wizards here were only interested in studying magic, unlike the necromancers in Madara who were obsessed with territory and power. Although there were many excellent wizards in both places, to the Buga wizards, magic was their everything. They loved magic, used it everywhere, and learned all kinds of knowledge in order to make better use of magic. This was how Rune creatures were made. Making a Rune creature required not only magic, but also craftsmanship and metallurgy. Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that Buga wizards were all-rounders. Apart from studying magic and making better use of it, Buga wizards rarely spent their time on other things. There was no scheming between Buga wizards, and open magic duels were a common occurrence. Wizards would never hide anything from their disciples, because those who did would be ridiculed by their peers, who would say that they could only protect their own status by hiding something from others. Even if there were differences in perception, the Buga Adepts would use facts to prove their theories instead of engaging in meaningless arguments. It was because the wizards here only focused on magic that they were all very strong. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were monsters.
However, the Buga civilians living around these "monsters" were the happiest civilians in Wohnde. These wizards didn't care about anything other than magic, so they collected less taxes. Heavy taxes were troublesome, and wizards didn't need that kind of money anyway. In addition, during a disaster year, the Sorcerer would use magic to change the weather to alleviate the disaster. If it really couldn't be alleviated, the Sorcerer would directly exempt the Sorcerer from taxes and would also help the victims. This was because most wizards were afraid of trouble. If too many people starved to death in their territory, it would be even more troublesome. Also, Buga wizards thought that they were better than ordinary nobles who didn't know magic. If the people in their territory couldn't live in peace and contentment, they would be laughed at by their peers. They would say that they were worse than nobles who didn't know magic. Of course, there are many kind-hearted Magi. My family is a kind-hearted Magus family.
The children of Buga wizarding families grew up surrounded by books. Every Buga wizarding family had an amazingly large library filled with all kinds of books. Their parents were so busy with magic research that sometimes they would even forget that they had children and spend very little time with them. However, these parents rarely poured cold water on their children and allowed their children to have different opinions. In addition, these children had nothing else to do other than focus on learning magic. Therefore, there were many young and promising wizards in Buga. I was one of them, and because of my family's heritage, I was given the title of Beginner Wizard Buga at the age of 18. This was a title that most wizards could only get when they were in their twenties or thirties.
In fact, the reason why I got the title so quickly was because of the help of my magic pet, Bat. Wizards needed to be in a good state of mind to make breakthroughs in magic, just like how a warrior couldn't practice swordsmanship with a high fever. Therefore, wizards needed to have a good rest. My Bat helped me chase away mosquitoes at night so that I could have a good sleep. A good sleep meant a good state of mind. That was why my magic had improved so much.
Anyway, I got the title of Wizard, and now I was going to start my family's traditional adventure. A wizard who hasn't gone through the trials of life and death would never be able to reach a high level in magic. Plus, I hadn't been out of the house for more than ten years, so I was looking forward to the adventure. My parents also stopped their research and focused on preparing the items for my adventure.
The adventure items were ready. Among them was the family's traditional steel staff that could be turned into a spear. There was a mechanism on the staff, and when pressed, the petal-shaped ornament on the staff would turn into a spear head. It would also wrap the spell-enhancing gemstone in the stamen. There was also a three-meter tall special Gargoyle that looked like the dragon I liked. It was so strong that it could carry me on its back and fly. There was also a three-meter tall iron guard that held a tower shield and a huge sword. Although its speed was slow, its legs were enchanted with magic that could double its speed for a short period of time. (Iron men usually didn't have weapons because mages didn't know how to use swords, so they couldn't teach magic puppets. However, there were people in my family who were magic warriors.) There was also a small puppet dragon that was used as a mount. It looked like a lizard, and there was a window behind the leather seat on its back. After the window was closed, there was a cabin that could shelter a person from the wind and rain. It was enough for a person to lie down and sleep in. It was like a carriage with four legs, a head, and a tail. I wouldn't be afraid of wind or rain, and I could even enjoy the scenery outside. The Gargoyle, Iron Man, and Puppet Dragon were all intelligent, so even if I let them act alone, I wouldn't have to worry about anything going wrong. There were also a few magic accessories for emergencies and a bunch of miscellaneous daily necessities. Of course, the daily necessities were all stored in the dimensional pocket.
A few days later, I put on a brand-new robe and set out. There was a pocket in the robe where my pet bat lived. I relied on it to chase away mosquitoes when I was outside. However, things went wrong as soon as the adventure started. My three followers and I entered the teleportation circle of my family and teleported to a nearby city. In the end, the teleportation circle sent me to a forest. In order to figure out what the problem was, I checked the three followers. I found that there was a problem with the Puppet Dragon. The magic on its body interfered with the teleportation circle. In the end, I was teleported to an unknown place. Fortunately, I was sure that I didn't go to another plane. My parents must have made a mistake while making the Puppet Dragon. I fixed the problem with the Puppet Dragon. Fortunately, the forest was also very beautiful, so I decided to start my adventure here.
I walked in the forest for a day. Although I relied on my compass to make sure that I didn't lose my way, I still couldn't get out of the forest. Although I knew that it was impossible to walk out of the forest in a day, I still couldn't get out. However, it was my first time going out so far, so I was still afraid. Seeing that the sky was dark, I could only make a bonfire to keep warm. The bonfire was indeed very warm, and I fell asleep in a daze. However, I was awakened in the middle of the night. When I woke up, I saw a bear fighting with my three guards. I curiously watched the battle. The bear was smarter than a human. It could always dodge the attacks of my three guards. However, the bear suddenly broke away from my three guards and pounced on me. I couldn't dodge in time and was bitten on the arm. Then, a sharp pain spread from the bitten arm to the rest of my body. Soon, I fainted from the pain and lost consciousness.
When I woke up, it was already the next morning. The pain was gone, but I felt different from before. All my senses were more sensitive. I could clearly hear sounds dozens of meters away. My myopia was also better. The heavy metal staff felt lighter. While I was wondering, a man dressed as a hunter came out of the forest. He told me that he was the bear that bit me yesterday. In order to prove his words, he took off his clothes and turned into a half-man, half-bear monster. I was surprised to learn that he turned me into a werebear by biting me. Moreover, the werewolves that mothers in Wohnde used to scare their children were our kind. After a deep conversation with this guy, I learned that his name was Eren. He was from Erouine, and his profession was a forest ranger. I also learned that most werebeasts were kind. Of course, there were also a few who were evil. They were the ones who ruined the reputation of werebeasts, making werebeasts become villains in folklore. If a werebeast lost the battle against their wild nature during a full moon, they would turn into an animal and bite others to increase their numbers. However, they would be driven by their wild nature and bite others to increase their numbers. Most werebeasts didn't like to increase their numbers by biting others. They would go to the forest during a full moon to avoid biting others. Eren was the same. However, he happened to meet me when I was lost in the forest. In short, I was very unlucky. However, Eren said that in order to compensate for turning me into a werebear, he would teach me how to control and use the werebear's power. At this point, I could only accept Eren's teachings.
Thus, for the next month, I focused on Eren's teachings. Eren was a good teacher. Not only did he teach me how to use the werebear's power, he also taught me how to differentiate between plants and animals, how to get along with animals, how to survive in the wild, and how to live in harmony with nature. I also learned that werebeasts could change into human form. Werebeasts could also communicate with bears in their bear form and werebear form. I had the rare ability to transform into a werebeast. I could only transform into a part of my body. Eren also introduced his bear friend to me. I also invented a more effective way to steal honey from bees. Thus, I practiced wrestling with bears all day long to practice controlling the werebear's power. However, the peaceful days passed quickly. Through the bat's investigation, I discovered a necromancer with a lot of skeletons roaming around the forest. Although I learned from Eren that I was at the border between Erouine and Madara, from the map that Eren gave me, I was definitely active in Erouine. It must be the greedy undead of Madara invading Erouine. I didn't think that I would be involved in a war.
However, at this point, even if I had nothing to do with Erouine, the necromancer would definitely not let me go. Thus, I called Eren, three of his rune followers, and a few bear friends to come up with a plan to eliminate the necromancer. The plan was to use me as bait to attract the necromancer's attention. Then, the other companions would rush over to surround and kill the necromancer and his army. In the end, the plan went smoothly. Although the necromancer tied my hands and interrogated me, I, who had the werebear's power, quickly cut the rope with my bear claws. However, the necromancer was killed by my bear paw and not by magic. At that time, I couldn't control my body to use magic. Later, after experimenting, I understood what was going on. If the enemy was within my reach, my bear nature would control my body and enter a melee state. At that time, I couldn't use magic. However, I couldn't do anything about it. At that time, if I used my rationality to stop my bear nature, it would give the enemy too much time to prepare. Fortunately, my strength was great, and the enemy wouldn't think that a necromancer would take the initiative to engage in a melee. This time, there were many spoils of war. In addition to a few magic accessories, some black magic books, and the necromancer's diary. From it, we knew that Madara did invade Erouine, but this guy really did get lost in the forest and came here. Eren gave me the necromancer's things and a magic necklace. The pendant of the necklace was a bear tooth that Eren had replaced. It was enchanted by his druid friend, and this necklace could be used to communicate with animals once a day. After that, I bid farewell to Eren and set off towards Erouine.
On the way, I counted the necromancer's things, but I was most interested in the black magic books. These black magic books actually included all the black magic from beginner to advanced. My curiosity was aroused, and I wanted to learn black magic, but I hesitated. Although studying black magic wasn't taboo in Buga, because the Buga necromancers were all research fanatics. If possible, the Buga necromancers would steal Martha's skirt and study it, let alone study black magic. The Buga government also set up a black magic research institute, but they could only use animals as experimental materials. The only result of this research institute was that the people in the institute no longer wanted to eat meat. At that time, someone joked that when the Buga government was in financial difficulties, all the government officials should visit this research institute. It was guaranteed that they could save half of the food expenses. However, my family had never studied black magic. If I did, I might risk being chased by my father. However, it didn't take long for me to succumb to my thirst for knowledge and curiosity. I sat on the puppet dragon as we traveled while learning black magic.
But when I was studying black magic, I remembered that I had a self-made device on my body. The shape was an inconspicuous hemispherical black metal block the size of an egg. This device was invented by a Buga necromancer who studied black magic. This invention won the Highest Achievement Award. This invention was similar to a Lich's phylactery. It could be used to create undead and store souls. After storing souls, this device could be placed into the body of the undead. The soul stored inside could freely control the body connected to the device. What was even more amazing was that this device could be removed and placed in another body at any time. This device called phylactery caused the creation of Lich Construct in Buga, and that necromancer was one of them. Moreover, this phylactery was actually a six-legged Construct Beetle. This thing could run, but this Beetle only had vision and couldn't speak. It didn't even have hands, so the soul inside it couldn't use magic. Unless the soul could cast spells, cast spells silently, or cast spells silently.
But I wasn't sure if this phylactery I made would work. Also, this phylactery I made lacked the final step of adding black magic. So, in order to pass the time and experiment with the new black magic I learned, I spent some time to complete this phylactery. But I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to use it for the rest of my life. However, Martha seemed to be joking with me. Just as I was thinking about this while sitting on the back of the puppet dragon, an Erouine Wyvern Knight suddenly appeared. (The mount of an Erouine Wyvern Knight was a distant relative of the dragons. Its appearance was exactly the same as a dragon, but it was much smaller. It couldn't use dragon breath and its intelligence was much lower.) It fell from the sky and landed in front of me. The Knight and his mount were covered in arrows. They looked like hedgehogs. I hurried over. When the bloodied Knight saw me, he forced himself to sit up and gave me an iron cylinder. He said that it was the information he wanted me to give to an officer in Erouine. Then, he fainted. It was obvious that he was a scout. I realized that this guy was definitely going to die. Although I had the Health Recovery Holy Water with me, it couldn't save him because there were three arrows in his heart. As expected, he died after a short while. That guy's wyvern was in a similar situation. However, that wyvern was larger than an ordinary wyvern. Thus, the damage caused by the arrows was less. It could still live for a while. However, from the wyvern's eyes, I could see anger at the death of the Knight and the desire to take revenge for the Knight. That kind of heartfelt emotion was enough to shock the heart of any creature. However, there was nothing I could do. I could only watch this noble creature die like its master. Just as I was at a loss, I saw the phylactery I was holding in my hand. A bold idea came to my mind. Perhaps I could revive a wyvern into an undead, but what would it become? With my current level of black magic, I could only summon skeletons and zombies. Zombies were negligible. Wyverns were speed-type warriors. When a living creature turned into a zombie, its speed would decrease. Skeletons were fine. Although they looked thin, their defense against arrows would increase. Moreover, after being purified by darkness, their strength would surpass that of the original living creature.
I used the animal communication skill attached to the necklace to tell the wyvern my idea. The wyvern immediately agreed. Right now, it only wanted to take revenge for its master. In order to take revenge, it would do anything. First, I used the phylactery to store the wyvern's soul. Then, I revived the wyvern's corpse into a skeleton wyvern. Finally, I placed the phylactery into the skeleton wyvern's skull. Fortunately, the phylactery I made worked as usual. The wyvern quickly regained control of its body. However, the process sounded easy. In fact, I suffered greatly. It was my first time transferring a soul, and it was my first time summoning an undead. Moreover, I had to revive such a large creature. I was mentally exhausted. During the process, I had to drink two bottles of magic potion that could quickly recover my mana. The magic potion that could quickly recover one's mana was not only expensive, but it also tasted disgusting. There was a saying among the wizards, 'If you drink a bottle of magic potion, you will have to eat one less meal.' Now, I felt that I wouldn't be able to eat anything tomorrow. The disgusting effect of the two bottles of magic potion must have been stacked.
While I was still feeling disgusted, the skeleton wyvern had already dug a grave for its master. I gathered my spirits and called three of my rune followers to help me. After the grave was dug, I used magic to make a tombstone for the Knight. However, I quickly dug up the corpse and used black magic to embalm the corpse. After that, I wrapped the corpse in a cloth and tied it to my puppet dragon. I suddenly realized that I couldn't just bury this knight so carelessly. I should hand the corpse over to his family or comrades. After that, I spent an entire day to purify the skeletal wyvern of darkness. The wyvern also told me the whole story of what had happened. It turned out that the wyvern and its Knight were too unlucky. They were sent out to scout the enemy's situation. Coincidentally, there was a skeleton squadron led by a necromancer stationed in the forest next to the river bank where they stopped to rest. As a result, they were caught off guard and turned into hedgehogs. It wasn't easy for them to escape. If I wanted to avenge the wyvern, I would have to deal with those disgusting undead again. However, I defeated an undead army led by a necromancer. What's more, an undead army led by a necromancer was nothing. Thus, I set off the next morning.
Ben Fett's Butterfly Effect
Ben Fett was revered as a great sage by the later generations, not because of his great contributions to magic, but because of the butterfly effect that caused Buga to become truly prosperous.
Ben Fett's Bear Golem received the highest achievement award. Ben Fett said that the secret to his success was that he was a Beastman. This secret made the Buga government decide to give Beastmen Buga citizenship to attract Beastmen to Buga, so that some wizards could become Beastmen and make better Beast Golems.
When the Holy Church heard that the Buga Academy wanted to give Beastmen citizenship, they were furious and broke off diplomatic relations with Buga.
A large number of Beastmen poured into Buga. They found that there was a large forest for them to live in. The Wizard Lord also seemed to be very kind and the people lived and worked in peace. All of this made the Beastmen, who were used to being scurrying rats, very satisfied. However, not long after, there were wizards who begged the Beastmen to bite them. The Beastmen began to think that the wizards were crazy. After knowing the whole story, they fulfilled the wizard's request.
The Beastmen didn't like power and scheming. With their beastly nature, they were very easy to satisfy. Like the Buga wizards, they spent their time on self-cultivation. Compared to the wizards who fought alone, the Beastmen paid more attention to teamwork. Moreover, most of them were mercenaries and had a deep understanding of military affairs. Among the Beastmen, most of the Ratmen were rogues. Due to their physical advantages, they were known as the best scouts and assassins. The Boar were the strongest barbarians (good at charging). The Worgen were the best warriors and archers (good at advancing in infantry formations and good at teamwork). The Tigermen and Bearmen were the majority of the Warriors. There were also some Rangers and Druids (good at fighting alone and in small groups).
The Buga wizard army's fighting strength was terrible because the wizards didn't like to study military affairs. They had the best wizards and a powerful Golem army, but they didn't know how to work together. When the Beastmen came, they discovered the problem with the Buga army, so they helped the Buga wizards build a strong army. The Buga wizards found that the Beastmen were better at military affairs, so they directly gave the Buga military power to the Beastmen. Thus, the Buga built a strong army made up of Beastmen, Construct Creatures, and wizards. The Beastmen also found their self-respect and began to accept volunteers to join the Beastmen army.
After the Holy Church faction and Madara's undead began a large-scale war. The Buga wizards increased their research on black magic and ordered all wizards to understand black magic even if they didn't have to learn it. The Beastmen also began to train their undead army.
After the Holy Church faction was defeated by Madara (after the protagonist's transmigration), they asked the Academy faction for help. The Academy faction knew that without the lips, the teeth would be cold. They sent a strong expeditionary force into the Holy Church faction's territory to deal with Madara.
The two armies exchanged fire, and Madara found that the way to deal with the Holy Church faction's army was completely different from the way they dealt with the Beastmen, Golem, and wizards. First of all, the Beastmen's first consideration in a battle was whether or not they could fight to their heart's content. Injuries would only make them more ferocious. Their beastly nature made them feel no fear in battle, so the Necromancers' Decay and other black magic were basically useless against them. Moreover, the Beastmen's strength was at least much greater than the skeletons', and a single blow could kill a skeleton. The Beastmen were also not afraid of the dark, and the Necromancers' Veil of Darkness could not fool the Beastmen's noses, which were more sensitive than their eyes. Thus, a scene like this appeared. The Beastmen easily defeated the skeletons, and the Necromancers tried their best to cast Decay, but only caused some minor injuries to the Beastmen. In the blink of an eye, a few Beastmen were in front of the Necromancers. The Necromancers used their bone staffs to block and found that the Beastmen's strength was about the same as their own. They wanted to use Veil of Darkness to escape, but it could not fool the Beastmen's noses. They could only watch as they were chopped into pieces. Just as the Beastmen disrupted Madara's formation, the wizards controlled the Golem army and pressed forward. The Necromancers could not gain any advantage against the Buga wizards' magic, and the Golems, who were immune to black magic, began a massacre among the undead. After a great battle, the undead army suffered heavy losses and retreated.
However, the Beastmen who were truly terrifying were the Ratmen. On the night of the great battle, Madara's army discussed countermeasures to deal with the Buga expeditionary force. The Ratmen were armed with magic daggers specially made by the Buga wizards, and they were also enchanted with the Holy Church's divine magic to counter the undead. These assassins turned into rats and entered Madara's camp through a rat hole. In one night, a large number of Madara's officers were assassinated. However, what was even more frightening was that the Ratmen used the same method to sneak into the rooms of the Dark Lords in Madara's interior, and even a few of the Dark Lords were killed. Thus, Madara's army abandoned the undead cannon fodder at the bottom and ran back to their camp.
After that, Madara began a large-scale extermination of the rats, which ended in failure. Although they did not lose any soldiers, they lost many generals. The Dark Lords also used steel floors to renovate their castles. The Dark Lords also had to let some of their subordinates act as gatekeepers for them to rest at ease. After that, the various countries began to spread the word that if they wanted to be enemies with the Buga, they must first succeed in exterminating the rats.
