Chapter 4: chapter 4
The goblin had no reaction to Voldemort's name; it was not clear if she had never heard of it or simply, didn't care!
The manager took Voldemort through the family vault and showed him a report on the family's properties and business.
Ewan, a seasoned auditor, possessed a level of expertise that allowed him to detect inaccuracies effortlessly in the papers within his purview. This is why gloomy expression darkened Voldemort's face, indicating disappointment at the evident deterioration after 45 years of void in leadership – a pitiful situation to say the least!
After winding up his tasks at Gringotts, Voldemort withdrew a smattering of galleons and requested Arnie to accompany him to the most renowned wand maker nearby. Voldemort had previously visited Paris and various other places around the world. Still, he'd decidedly adopt apparition as his mode of transport, rather than strolling on foot.
There wasn't a lot of drama like the one Olivender likes to make; Voldemort simply browsed through an array of wands until his attention was captured by one that closely mirrored his previous one: 14 inches in length, crafted from Yew wood and ensconced with a Phoenix feather core.
Subsequently, Voldemort embarked on a shopping spree for clothing, potion materials, and other miscellaneous items. It was indeed convenient to have an elf accompany him on his errands as he swiftly picked up the glossary, placed it in the castle, and returned in under a minute.
Voldemort then retreated back to his new home where he left Arnie pimmersed in his duties.
Having addressed the pricing issues, he was compelled to evaluate his current status seriously.
Pulling out his phone, he browsed through his app drawer; shortly, he caught sight of an unidentified icon. Upon clicking it, a black interference emerged.

Events: Nothing planned.

Traits and Abilities
---------------------------------
Voldemort clicked on World building and add-ons and he sighed deeply.
The Beauty and the Beast's castle is good since he living there now.
Shadow Moses Island, he really doesn't know what this is.
Jurassic Park was a surprise, a smirk emerged on Voldemort's face. The chance to witness dinosaurs in their authentic form had always intrigued him. The potential fear of attack was dismissible, for there was nothing a well executed Avada Kedavra couldn't handle!
Samurai Jack sword, this is somepthing he is very wary of, the sword that can cut all the evil, and he is, for his dismiss, not a good person.
The red world is the realm of the ghosts and the place they gather in. Only few in this world know of this existence.
Next, he clicked on the personal traits.
○ Transmigrator Privilege:
The ability to feel Voldemort's Horcruxes and absorb them.
Note: The Horcruxes are soul shards to absorb them you have to be in direct contact with the container.
○ Green eyes: ordinary human green eyes.
The Horcruxes, the big problem that he has to deal with.
The real Voldemort currently resides in Albania, secluded from civilization. His current manifestation is a mean ghost that depends on habiting animals to acquire a physical form.
He fears detection, so he plans on maintaining his distance from humanity, and he will for another 6 years until the unfortunate Quirinus Quirrell ventures into the Albanian woodlands for some "academic research".
The spectral Voldemort, in his current embodiment, is immune to death, unless all the Horcruxes are annihilated.
The quandary is how to infiltrate Hogwarts and retrieve the hidden Horcrux. Entring personally is a no-go since Dumbledore will be alerted the moment he sets a foot on the school's ground.
Furthermore, there's the unpleasant surprise of having an offspring, a boy at that?
If the information from Rhys accurate and his demeanor resembles a blend of Johan Liebert and Conan, then Voldemort is certain, it won't be easy to deal with him!
'How he will see me? A parent who abandoned him or the villain who killed and destroyed many lifes?'
'That child will be so smart, manipulating him won't be an easy feat, should I just kill him?'
He paused momentarily, lost in deep thought.
'No! I can't.'
When he was Ewan he was the loving husband to a pretty wife and the proud father of a cute twin. But all this was taken from him.
He can't kill the boy. The regret, sadness and anger was eating him every night after he lost his family. Could this be his chance to have a family again? How can he waste it like this?
'I have to meet him first before I judge. Overthinking will yield no benefit for me.'
Voldemort examined the app closely, looking at every detail.
'He is now in an orphanage called Victoria Lodge in Dorset."
In his memories, he unveiled instructions for implementing a pair of spells the wizarding world had never witnessed prior. It was the spells he won before.
The inaugural spell that had the power to metamorphose him into a magical creature is the modified animagus spell.
' The process of execution has been slightly modified, along with a minor tweak in the chant but the results are brilliant.'
The second spell: sling ring portal; offered the capability to create a gateway to any location worldwide.
Despite initial doubts about utilising this renowned enchantment derived from the Marvel universe without a ring, Voldemort discovered in the spell details a workable substitute - his magical wand. This left him immensely content.
It is crucial to note that no other comparable enchantment in the Wizarding world measures up to the might of this one. The Apparition technique among magic practitioners allows travel merely to a finite distance in kilometers, reliant on the magical energy residing within their physiques.
Nonetheless, this enchantment utilizes the wand as a conduit to harness the magical energy from the surrounding environment and creates a temporary portal.
'This also mean that it is impossible to cast it wandlessly'
Voldemort took some papers and began writing down his observations and speculations about the Readers' community and his plans for the future.
The original Voldemort's journey was far more complex than a mere quest for immortality; it was a pursuit for absolute dominance. His perceived superiority over others fueled his longing for universal recognition of his strength and unparalleled Cunning. He yearned for all to bow before his supreme example. However, the reach of his abilities couldn't match his soaring aspirations, and his hurry towards his goal led to his undoing.
But that doesn't mean that the dark lord was a pitiful being, no. He was a genius student who became an excellent fighter and charismatic leader, if it wasn't for his pride he wouldn't lose in that pathetic way.
Ewan was a clever journalist, he is sharp and cautious, he is friendly, good at talking and have a good sense of humor, he dislike injustice and live to expose the wrongdoers. One of the notable critics of him is that he always takes responsibility for his actions and shows respect to everyone.
After merging together, Voldemort discovered that he have the lofty vision of ruling the world so that he can make sure that justice will be served.
He didn't find it strange, after all who is better then him for such a position?
Voldemort changed the direction of his thoughts.
'The castle is massive; one elf cannot take care of it alone; I should hire some people, not house elves.'
As a matter of fact, Voldemort is not fond of house elves.
'Finding wizard or witch servants shouldn't be overly challenging, Muggleborn are outcasts, hardly acknowledged, only the lucky ones manage to land jobs.'
It is also true that Voldemort looks down upon wizards and witches of Muggle origin, but they are at least more pleasing to the eye and of the same race!
After an unspecified amount of time, Voldemort destroyed the papers and left his office. His destination was the training hall, luckily it is a facility of the castle.
This hall was fortified with numerous spells to safeguard it against ruin during training sessions, but these protections have probably weakened over the years and are now defunct. However, Voldemort wasn't too disturbed as he had no plans to employ any particularly destructive spells for today.
"Avada Kedavra "
He tried to use his signature spell.
He is known for his ability to quickly and powerfully cast the Killing Curse like a semi-mechanical gun on work!
Regrettably, his newly formed body hasn't yet adapted to wielding this power.
Following several attempts, he resolved to experiment with a different spell.
He selected Cruciatus Curse infamous as the Torture Curse. Recalling the forbidden third incantation, the Imperius Curse, sent shivers down his spine as it reminded him of something else.
' This is new body! The mental protections that I had established are entirely absent now. I must rectify this promptly, lest my thoughts become an open book to anyone, without me even realizing.'
Before departing, Voldemort resolved to attempt one final enchantment. Shutting his eyes, he visualized a particular location that he had visited in the past.
Raising his wand, he began to trace its tip in a cycle, preparing to cast his spell.
"Porta Lucis"
A streak of emerald flame traced a line in the air before swiftly merging together to form a hovering ring. Inside this ring, the image of the Giza pyramids materialized.
"Have I succeeded?"
This wasn't Voldemort's maiden encounter with success on a spell's initial performing attempt, but such high-level magic? That was a rarity.
Being discovered wasn't Voldemort's concern. Night had already descended in France, and Egypt was deep into the midnight hour. Who would be in the vicinity of the pyramids at this ungodly hour? Nonetheless, to ensure safety, he terminated the spell, watching the emerald line vanish into thin air. Afterwards, he exited the large room, retreating to his personal study.
'It time to practice Occlumency again.'
Voldemort was slightly disheartened at the enormity of the task before him,
'It involves a substantial commitment of time.'
This isn't a feat one can accomplish in a single evening, he would require at least a month to regain his initial proficiency.
He was also an accomplished practitioner of Legilimency; according to Severus Snape, he was unparalleled in his skills, achieving heights previously thought to be unattainable.
'But first..'
'"Arnie."
An elf popped up into the room.
"You called master?"
"Yes, I want to have a talk with you."
'.. let's see what this elf is hiding.'
