Surprisingly, the language spoken by everyone in this world was Japanese, which came as a minor shock to All for one.
However, the alphabets used here were anything but similar. They were even more complicated than his original world.
It took a while for him to get used to them. Even then his learning ability shocked the village chief - proclaiming All for one as a genius again and again.
Pushing the village chief's door open, All for one walked in naturally. It wouldn't be wrong to call the village chief's house as his second home.
All for one visited almost everyday since the moment he could walk. In his eyes, the books in this house were a treasure trove that was waiting for his taking.
At the wooden stool, the village chief sat with his hunched back, seeing All for one enter, his eyes shone slightly.
Seeing All for one wall to him, instead of heading for books - caused a slight smile to appear on his wrinkled face.
"Oh? Not interested in those books anymore?" The chief asked with curiosity.
He knew exactly how much All for one thirsted for knowledge.
"I want to learn magic!" All for one said seriously with an innocent face.
There was no point in beating around the bush, it wouldn't match his current age.
"Haha, good....good. I planned on waiting for a few more years before passing on all that I have attained throughout my life. But this is good too, yes..." The chief's eyes glowed eerily.
"Come, sit here, Seth." Impatience was lashed into his voice.
All for one complied without hesitating.
The village chief began explaining about magic with a fervent gaze. However, All for one wasn't very interesting in this subject.
He had gone through almost every book in the village chief's house.
He still maintained a serious face before the chief, not rushing and maintaining his prudence.
'There is still time, I shouldn't take any rushed action...' His cautiousness was growing pathological at this point.
All for one did his own analysis on all the elements internally too.
Magic was categorized into six elemental levels: fire, water, wind, earth, yin, and yang. Each has distinct functions, with fire manipulating temperature (creating both fire and ice), water governing life and healing, wind controlling external air currents, and earth manipulating the physical ground. Yin and yang magic are utility-focused; yin handles debuffs and distortion, while yang handles buffs and restoration.
Magic spells were cast through magical incantation, which made All for one remember about the old fairy tales from back earth.
'It wouldn't be wrong to call this world a fairy tale itself, huh?' All for one mused internally, before continuing his thought process.
The spells were as follow:
'Goa' for fire, 'Shiha' for water, 'Fura' for wind, 'Dona' for earth, 'Shamak' for Yin, 'Jiwald' for Yang and finally - 'Huma' for conjuring ice.
Ice magic was really peculiar in this world, because it was a spell that fell both in the category of fire and water element.
And these spells could further strengthen through adding prefix before the incantation. The prefixes were set apparently and were the same for every spell.
They were: El, Ul, or Al - Were adding Al would boost the spells strength to maximum potential. In other words, being able to cast 'Al' level spells would make him a peak level magician.
All for one paid attention to the village chief only when he would add personal experience in his explanation or in depth information that couldn't be found in books.
It turned into evening and the moment when All for one would visit the twin sister. Even with the risk minimalized, he still simulated what could go wrong if there was some adverse effect on the twins after using his quirk.
All for one's biological twin did die through this, at least it played a part in it.
After saying goodbye to the village chief cheerfully, he walked towards the twin's house. His eyes shone sharply even with the innocent grin on his face.
No matter the risk, All for one felt excited thinking about gaining a few abilities.
'If that twin named ram dies, I will cause a landslide through the hill behind their house to cover it up.' All for one thought seriously.
[The divine protection of earth spirit] was hidden deeply by All for one. He never manipulated the earth before anyone, even being careful as to not make any visible changes to the earth afterwards.
"Huuuu....."
All for one knocked their door gently and smiled happily.
Footsteps could be heard behind the door almost immediately.

"Ahhh, Seth-chan." A beautiful Oni with pink hair smiled at All for one. Gentleness could be felt from her eyes and she was very happy to see someone becoming friends with her children.
"Um, Oji-san told me to come and play whenever I could in the morning. Are they awake today?" All for one asked with excitement.
"Fufu~, you are lucky today, Rem and Ram just woke up a while ago. Children do sleep a lot at an early age it seems." Temae patted All for one's head gently and led him into her house.
'....I will kill her in the future.' All for one's brow twitched for a few seconds.
In his eyes, everyone was below him, being treated like a child was beginning to take a toll on his ego.
All for one moved before the small beds of the twins and began playing with them as usual. Poking their cheek gently or making weird faces like a normal child. Internally, he was focusing on Temae who walked happily from afar with a smile.
"Hehehe." The pink haired twin laughed innocently.
"Aren't they cute? I was worried that they wouldn't be able to have a normal childhood....but with you here, I can rest easy." Temae smiled at All for with a grateful expression.
All for one just tilted his face with a confused expression, his acting persona not weakening one bit.
"Hm, be sure to not pick them up or give them any item which could fit into their mouths. I will be in the kitchen so be sure to call out if something happens. And you can stay here for now. It wouldn't be bad Idea to call your mother for dinner tonight, um..." She spoke while gently moving towards the kitchen.
"Ok~" All for one waved forcefully behind her.
'At last...'
