Eric groaned as the warmth rays of the sun hit him. He wasn't ready. He just wanted to have a good night sleep for once.
He grudgingly stepped out of bed and decided it wasn't worth it to late for one day of practice.

"And to think, if I didn't have practice everyday, I wouldn't be as strong as I am right now." Eric thought.

"Sweety! Your food is getting cold!" His wife, Crystal shouted from the kitchen. "Coming!" Eric answered.

Soon, after a quiet breakfast, he got ready and went out to his empty, but beautiful field. He closed his eyes and focused. He channeled his mana and willed it to form a book. It was no ordinary book however, it was a book only he could read. He quickly turned the pages, looking for the last portion of spell he missed out in the last practice.

"There you are."Eric said. He read the last portion and the entire spell as many times as he could. It was an extremely advanced spell after all. He swallowed up his courage and prepared the spell. The spell specifically is Teleportation, a extremely long distance teleportation, which is why makes it so difficult.

Even if his Dad had the most amount of mana in the world, Eric couldn't keep up with his lessons. His dad would straight up just force him to practice, and for a good reason too. He HAD to keep practising magic. His magic was connected to his very body and life. If he didn't practice it everyday to keep his mana up, his health would just start deteriorating quickly. There was one thing he just could not undo, and that was if he used a lot more mana than what he usually used, he would faint right after.

He focused on the runes, if even one of the runes were created or drawn wrongly, even if it's just a little out, it would change the entire spell. Sweat began to drip from his head as he thrust his hand out. Runes slowly started appearing in front of his hand. Slowly but surely, the runes began to look more and more complex and bigger. Eric's eyes soon shot open. Realizing something crucial he missed.

He did not create the spell to where he wanted to go. This could mean that he could be teleported anywhere, at anytime in anyplace. Meaning he could also destroy the current timeline and go back in the past or go into the future. He quickly tried to undo the spell, knowing he very well couldn't from how deep he was into the spell. He saw a flash of light before seeing a flashback of his pregnant wife, telling him to stop practicing magic as it was too dangerous.

"Heh. To think my demise would be one of the silliest mistakes a wizard could make." Eric thought. His life flashed right before his eyes. The time when he met his current wife, all the good times they had together, when he realized she was pregnant.
He teared up as he thought how he wouldn't see his baby's first steps, first word, the baby's graduation. He soon blacked out from the amount of mana he used in such a short amount of time, and at the same time, the spell teleported him to who knows where.
