After flying for a while, he soon arrived in the bustling Manhattan area, landing on the rooftop of the tallest building. At each of the four corners of the roof, there were large tal eagle statues.
It was midnight, so his flight through the air went unnoticed. If it had been during the day, it would have been much more inconvenient.
"This world is also in the year 2010," George thought to himself.
He glanced at the electronic screen on the building across from him, which displayed advertisents along with the current ti, confirming that this was indeed the present year.
But knowing only the ti and location still left him uncertain about the nature of this world.
"This isn't enough. I guess I'll have to go down and take a look."
After flying around the area a few more tis with no results, George decided to find a computer and search for so information online.
As a panda, entering a public space like an internet café would be highly inappropriate, so he planned to break into a private residence and borrow a computer from there.
Soon, he found a suitable target in a suburban area.
He quietly landed on the balcony of a villa, used a lock-opening spell to unlock the door, and casually walked right inside.
Using his telepathic abilities, he confird that the villa was inhabited by just one person. It was a large house, and the other villas in the vicinity were spaced out, making it difficult to be noticed.
"Oh my God!"
Inside the villa's living room, a balding middle-aged man, who was listening to music and drinking wine, froze in shock as he saw George, the panda, walk in from the balcony. His eyes widened in disbelief.
What did he just see? A panda had walked into his living room, and it wasn't just walking—it was walking upright.
If he hadn't been so careful about his health, he would have thought he had taken so hallucinatory drug.
"Out-of-body experience!"
Before the man could fully react to the shock, George used a hand gesture to cast a soul control spell on him.
The truth was, George's current avatar made it very difficult to use a computer and type. To gather information online, he not only needed to find a house with a computer but also soone to help him type and search for the data.
The soul control spell hit the balding man, and a look of imnse happiness imdiately spread across his face.
"Go turn on the computer!"
Unable to speak, George used his telepathic powers to command the man.
The balding man obediently got up and walked from the living room to the bedroom, where he turned on the computer.
"Search for news about magic," George ordered, following him into the bedroom and standing behind him as he began the search.
Half an hour later, several intriguing pieces of information caught George's attention.
"The world's greatest magician, Drake Stone."
"Claims to be the heir of ancient dark magic."
"Recipient of the 2009 Best Magician award."
He clicked on the video of Drake Stone's magic performance, and after watching a few tricks, George's eyes imdiately lit up.
"Finally, a clue."
He was certain that what Drake Stone was performing wasn't ordinary magic—it was actual magic. It made sense now why he had beco a world-renowned magician at such a young age.
"Drake Stone, why does this na sound so familiar? He's quite a famous magician."
George sat on the edge of the bed in the bedroom, carefully trying to recall his mories from his previous life. He had always enjoyed watching fantasy and science fiction movies, and he was certain that he had seen this na sowhere before. It must have been in so movie, though he didn't rember it clearly—likely because it was a minor character.
After thinking for about twenty minutes, he suddenly stood up, excitent in his eyes.
"I rember now! This guy is probably the modern-day heir of the Morgana Sect from The Sorcerer's Apprentice."
The Sorcerer's Apprentice was a fantasy movie about magic.
The film told the story of the year 740 AD, during a ti when magic flourished.
At that ti, there were two major magic factions: the rlin Sect, which symbolized justice and kindness, and the Morgana Sect, which represented evil and bloodshed.
The leader of the Morgana Sect, Morgana, sought to resurrect the souls of powerful wizards who had died long ago using a resurrection spell, in order to create an undead army to rule the world.
The leader of the rlin Sect, rlin, waged a magical war to stop Morgana's evil plan and save the world.
rlin was supposed to be victorious, but was betrayed by one of his own disciples, Horvath, and was killed.
Fortunately, rlin's other two disciples, Balthazar and Veronica, arrived in ti to prevent Morgana's full victory.
Veronica sealed Morgana's soul temporarily using her own body as a vessel.
To protect his beloved Veronica from being possessed by Morgana, Balthazar used a binding spell to seal both Morgana and Veronica into a set of nested dolls.
Before he died, rlin gave his dragon ring to Balthazar, telling him that only by finding his reincarnated self, the Supre rlin, could they completely eliminate Morgana's soul and save Veronica.
Thus began Balthazar's long quest to find the reincarnation of rlin, a mission that spanned over a thousand years.
During this ti, the magicians of the Morgana Sect relentlessly attacked Balthazar in an attempt to free Morgana, but they were all defeated by the powerful Balthazar and sealed into the nested dolls, including Horvath, the one who betrayed rlin.
Finally, in 2000, Balthazar found rlin's reincarnation in a boy nad David, who was only nine years old. Unfortunately, David accidentally released the sealed Horvath.
After a battle, both Balthazar and Horvath were sealed in a jar for ten years.
"This magic world… it's good, very good!"
Having confird the world he was in, George felt a surge of excitent.
It wasn't that the magic in this world was particularly powerful; compared to the Fairy Tail world, its magic wasn't as strong. And in terms of wonder, it wasn't much different from the Harry Potter world.
But there was one thing this world's magicians had that the other two worlds didn't.
That was immortality. In this world, as long as a magician wasn't killed, they could live forever.
Whether it was Morgana, Balthazar, Veronica, or even Horvath, they had all lived for over a thousand years without any signs of aging.
In contrast, while the Harry Potter world had the Philosopher's Stone, which could create an elixir of life, it ca with side effects. It couldn't stop the body from aging and could only prolong life in a limited, undead form.
In the Fairy Tail world, there was no ntion of any magician living for centuries. Even Saint-level mages died after living for just over a hundred years.
Immortality… This was sothing George had always sought.
He had previously considered studying ghosts, thinking that after his death, he could survive as a spirit. But now, he didn't need to worry about that.
As long as he learned the magic of this world, he wouldn't have to worry about death at all.
