Xiao Ye, a Magician from Fairy Tail, was born in Earth-land, on the continent of Ishgar, in the Kingdom of Fiore.
He was born into a noble family in X767.
The Kingdom of Fiore, as a permanently neutral nation with a population of seventeen million, holds a unique and stable position.
Earth-land is a world brimming with magic.
Here, magic has been deeply integrated into people's daily lives, becoming an indispensable part of them.
Not only that, but there are also specialized magic shops where people can buy and sell various magical items and spells.
Many people even rely on magic to make a living, giving the entire society a strong magical atmosphere.
In this world, those who possess magic and can skillfully use it are respectfully called "Magicians."
However, to become a true Magician, one must join a guild.
Only after being recognized and accepted by a guild can one obtain the official identity of a "Magician."
Because of this, various Magician Guilds have emerged throughout the world, attracting countless Magicians to join them.
This peculiar phenomenon makes one wonder: did the Magician Guilds exist first, or did the Magicians exist first?
But regardless, Magicians gather in guilds to jointly explore the mysteries of magic and pursue higher realms.
These guilds become their cradle of growth and safe haven, witnessing their glory and honor.
To get back to the point, guilds maintain their operations by having Magicians accept and complete quests entrusted by clients.
In this magical world, magic is divided into two types—
Magic that requires the aid of magical tools and combines with one's own magic power to be cast is called Holder-Type Magic.
Magic that is cast by cultivating one's own magic power and materializing it is called Caster-Type Magic.
The city where Xiao Ye was born is called Hargeon, a prosperous port city with a developed fishing industry.
However, less than one-tenth of the people in this city can use magic, so the entire town has only one magic shop.
Xiao Ye's family is the great noble family of the town, and the entire city belongs to their territory. However, since Xiao Ye is the second son in the family, he has no inheritance rights to the territory.
Fortunately, Xiao Ye's father treated him very well. When Xiao Ye came of age, he gave him two fishing boats and a shop, providing him with enough income so that he would not have to make a living on his own.
Xiao Ye also knew himself well and had no intention of competing with his elder brother for the inheritance.
Therefore, he began learning magic from a young age, and with his father's support, he entered a noble magic academy to study.
After studying at the noble magic academy, Xiao Ye gained a deeper understanding of Magicians.
He also unexpectedly discovered that in this world, there were not only Magicians but also Wizards.
The casting methods of Wizards in this world were similar to how he had previously imagined them: they cast spells by chanting incantations and making specific gestures.
Wizards are the foundational profession for Magicians; a normal person must first become a Wizard before they can become a Magician.
This is because Magicians need to engrave complete magic circles within their spiritual sea of consciousness.
Whenever magic needs to be used, Magicians only need to inject their magic power into the magic circle to instantly activate it and release the recorded spell.
The advantage of the Magician profession lies in its extremely fast casting speed; even forbidden spells capable of causing large-scale destruction can be cast instantly.
However, magic circles are not flawless. They also have their own shortcomings, namely that they are not comprehensive enough.
Magic circles are not engraved out of thin air; they occupy space within the Magician's spiritual sea of consciousness.
Due to the limited capacity of the human spiritual world, Magicians cannot engrave too many magic circles at the same time, greatly limiting their growth.
This means that the size of a Magician's spiritual space represents their talent.
Magicians with larger spiritual spaces can naturally store more magic circles, and vice versa.
Furthermore, as Magicians become stronger, they need to master increasingly powerful magic circles, but the space within their spiritual sea of consciousness does not increase accordingly, making their growth extremely difficult.
Despite this, Xiao Ye still saw the potential and advantages of the Magician profession.
In contrast, although Wizards can also cast powerful magic, they require long chanting times to launch attacks, and some powerful spells also require external forces or special conditions to be cast.
Magicians, however, can release powerful magic anytime and anywhere, giving them greater flexibility and mobility in combat.
In Xiao Ye's view, Magicians are like game characters limited by skill slots. As long as they have enough magic power, they can use various skills at any time to deal with different combat situations.
Wizards, on the other hand, are more like reality. They can deal with almost any problem given sufficient preparation time, but once ambushed at close range or deprived of preparation time, they immediately fall into a difficult situation.
In summary, Xiao Ye believed that Magicians and Wizards each had their own strengths, and the key was choosing the appropriate development path according to one's actual circumstances.
If one wanted to pursue a fast and flexible combat style, then becoming a Magician was undoubtedly the better choice.
If one preferred studying mysterious magical knowledge and exploring the mysteries of natural elements, then becoming a Wizard might be more suitable.
However, Magicians were not without ways to solve their shortcomings.
To engrave more magic within their limited spiritual space, they first specialized in a single type of magic and made it their core root magic.
This not only saved spiritual space but also freed up more room within the spiritual world.
The main reason for doing this was that magic circles of the same system actually shared a large number of identical magic patterns.
These shared magic patterns helped reduce the number of engraved patterns to the minimum, thereby maximizing the utilization of the entire spiritual space.
After that, Magicians continuously engraved and developed additional series of magic based on their root magic.
As time passed and practical experience accumulated, the strength of Magicians naturally grew greater and greater.
Most importantly, because magic circles are engraved within the spiritual world, magic power continuously strengthens the physical body.
With the blessing of magic power, even an untrained child can easily shatter a solid rock with a single punch.
Magic power not only enhances attack power but also provides top-tier reinforcement to the physical body.
As long as one's magic power remains, even taking a direct hit from an opponent's magic will not result in fatal damage.
The magic system of the Fairy Tail world is simply the "Gandalf" among all Gandalfs!
Online question: How should Magicians allocate their stat points?
Answer: Put every point into Health and Stamina. For skills, max out Heavy Punch, Two-Handed Sword, Block, Critical Hit, Charge, Whirlwind, Decapitate, and Armor Break.
As for spells, just learn one Light spell to add some special effects to your attacks!! (Funny.jpg.)
It is precisely because the upper limit of Magicians is so high, with almost no obvious weaknesses, that Magicians gradually replaced Wizards and became one of the mainstream professions of the current era.
After all, a monster that can instantly cast powerful magic while also fighting effectively in close combat is simply too much for a Wizard to handle.

Through his studies at the noble academy, Xiao Ye successfully awakened his magic power, and at the same time, awakened his innate magic.
Innate Magic is an ability possessed only by geniuses—a heaven-sent magic that accompanies them from birth.
This is due to the vast amount of magic power within Earth-land, which causes some exceptionally talented boys and girls, like natural divinities, to be born with magic already engraved into their souls.
Xiao Ye's magic is called Nightmare.
The only ability of Nightmare is to enter dreams—his own dreams and the dreams of others.
Nightmare Magic is not some rare form of magic; it is actually quite ordinary.
Its frontal combat ability is completely terrible.
Its only practical use is stealing intelligence and uncovering the secrets people are most unwilling to reveal.
To put it bluntly, this magic is hated by everyone in everyday life.
However, if one were to become a spy or interrogator serving kings and nobles, it would be an extremely popular ability.
Coincidentally, this was also Xiao Ye's innate magic, engraved into his spiritual space from birth.
If he abandoned Nightmare Magic and chose another form of magic, then Xiao Ye would forever lose the opportunity to become a true Magician.
That would naturally leave him with one fewer root magic slot than everyone else, and no matter how hard he tried, his achievements in this life would probably remain limited.
Left with no other choice, Xiao Ye could only continue researching Nightmare Magic.
He firmly believed that there was no useless magic in this world—only people who lacked the ability to use it.
Nightmare Magic must still possess untapped potential waiting for him to discover.
So Xiao Ye began frequently immersing himself in dreams, searching for new breakthroughs.
After a long period of exploration and practice, Xiao Ye finally made a discovery.
Nightmare could not only enter and leave dreams—it could also weave dreams.
Whether they were beautiful dreams or terrifying nightmares, he could create them however he wished.
Moreover, through his deep mastery of Nightmare Magic, Xiao Ye began trying to incorporate other forms of magic to complement it.
The first thing Xiao Ye thought of was Thought Projection Magic.
Thought Projection Magic could read another person's thoughts and could also connect the consciousnesses of multiple people over a large area, allowing everyone to communicate within their minds.
Xiao Ye planned to use dreams as the medium, connecting his own dreams with the dreams of others in an attempt to create the legendary Nightmare Paradise.
