"Screw magic, I want to learn how to do cool flips and stuff." Magic is awesome, until you've studied it for centuries. Doevm reincarnates into a human to experience the path of a fighter to its fullest and swears not to rely on magic. There is only one problem, a goddess stands in his way. She pits him against both the hero and the villain for all of eternity. How will he escape this, with magic or his fists? Maybe both? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Sorry about the spacing. Webnovel doesn't let me use enter) Winner of contest #110. I upload three chapters a week.

Don't be afraid to say you don't understand something or point out an error in grammar. I read all comments. There are naturally some things I won't say. For example, if some says there's an inconsistency and I don't address it, it's probably there for a reason.

As Elero shambled off the destroyed stage, clothes stained with the blood of her enemy, Thomas's heart tightened. 'When will I have to fight?' he thought. He looked to the tournament bracket for the hundredth time and cursed at his luck. He was scheduled to fight in the fourth round, near the beginning of the tournament.
Alexander stood above the rubble and cursed: "Because the stage was destroyed, we will take a quick break while our mages kindly repair it with earth magic. I apologize for the wait." The mages from the sides of the stage stepped up to the rubble and waved their hands in the air. Piece by piece, the stage slowly reformed under their magic circles.
The noble waiting room was built in the same style as the inn, with cushioned seats, plenty of space, and numerous light crystals. The main difference was the giant orb which sat at the center of the room. Through it, the nobles could see the stage.
