Internet Magic in Fairy Tail (Re-upload)

Adding a recommendation in the novel section was a trivial task for Nate—just a matter of moving his fingers.

Nate: "What's the title of your novel?"

A novel written by a demon… Nate was indeed curious.

Seilah: "It's called Demon's Notebook. It's a story about a demon spreading a notebook in the human world, making deals with humans, and harvesting their souls."

It sounded… decent?

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Gengar and Alakazam were still fiercely trading blows, but their trainers were busy having a telepathic conversation.

Nate: "I can help you arrange a recommendation, but I can't control whether readers will actually like it."

Seilah: "Thank you for your assistance."

After expressing her gratitude, Seilah unexpectedly withdrew Alakazam, raised her hand, and signaled to the referee:

"I concede."

"Huh?"

The referee was taken aback but quickly resumed his duties, announcing:

"The winner is Nate!"

He then stamped Seilah's card with a black "defeat" mark, indicating her loss in the Fairy Tail Gym challenge.

Seilah retrieved her card and left without a word, heading toward the next gym.

Nate stared after her in bewilderment.

What is this woman… no, demon, really here for?

…

At the Commentary Box:

The commentator, Jabadirola, looked baffled and addressed the microphone:

"Let's see… Seilah has suddenly conceded. We're not sure what's going on. Ultear-san, what do you think?"

Ultear rested her chin on her hand, pondering.

"I'm not sure either, but Seilah's Alakazam looked strong. I look forward to seeing her next match."

With twelve matches running simultaneously, the commentator quickly diverted the audience's attention to other games.

"While Nate awaits his next challenger, let's check out the other matches!

"At Arena 2, Ichiya of Blue Pegasus has sent out his Machamp!"

"Oh? His opponent is Elfman from Fairy Tail, also using Machamp. A battle between two Machamps—this should be interesting!"

…

Back at Arena 1:

Nate soon faced his second challenger—a young boy of about thirteen or fourteen, who sent out a max-level Electrode right off the bat.

These kids don't mess around…

Nate dealt with the challenger while using his Six Eyes to keep tabs on Seilah. After a while, he realized she genuinely seemed to be participating in the competition.

…

An Hour Later:

By noon, Nate had already defeated four challengers. Facing his fifth, he decided to leave a Thought Projection behind to hold the fort and sneak away.

The commentator, Jabadirola, chuckled:

"It seems Nate has left his Thought Projection to guard the gym. Could he have urgent business?"

Ultear, smiling mischievously, chimed in:

"It's probably just laziness."

…

Nate exited the arena and shook his head in exasperation. Opening the Magic Net, he entered the novel section.

Despite being live for nearly three months, the section only had a few hundred novels. Curious, Nate opened the most popular one—it was a romance story. He clicked on another… also a romance. Flipping through several more, he found that at least a third of them were romance novels.

Why are people so obsessed with romance? Nate grumbled internally, then decided to check out the demon's work instead.

Searching for Demon's Notebook, he started reading. To his surprise, it was a horror story. The comments section was even more bizarre:

Reader: "Do souls of people of different ages taste different to demons?"

Seilah: "Yes, the souls of young girls taste the best."

Reader: "Have you eaten one before?"

Seilah: "No, I've only heard it from others."

Nate: "…"

Maybe it's better not to recommend this… Is she writing this to take revenge on society?

After some thought, Nate added Seilah as a friend and sent her a message:

Nate: "I have an idea—why not rework it into an intellectual battle novel? For example, a magic academy student named Light Yagami finds a Demon's Notebook that can take lives and uses it to punish criminals. What do you think?"

After leaving the message, Nate's lower-right corner flashed briefly. Opening the private chat, he saw it was from Juvia.

Sunny Doll: "Nate-sama!!"

Sunny Doll: "Cana secretly created a group chat!"

Snitching? Nate chuckled. Juvia was as loyal as ever.

Sigma Male: "What group?"

Juvia replied instantly.

Sunny Doll: "Last night, the six of us were chatting, and we accidentally started talking about boyfriends."

Sunny Doll: "That's when we realized we all have the same boyfriend… 🙈"

Sunny Doll: "Cana then suggested creating a group chat that no one else can join—especially you, Nate-sama. We can't let you find out."

What on earth were you all doing talking about boyfriends? That's not safe territory!

Nate was now convinced that someone must have been stirring the pot during that conversation.

Good thing he had Juvia as his little informant.

Activating his Six Eyes, Nate scanned the entire arena, locating his various girlfriends. Lucy and Juvia were in line to challenge a Gym Leader. Cana was watching the spectacle from the stands. Ultear was at the commentary booth as a special guest.

However, Nate couldn't spot Erza or Mirajane anywhere.

Just then, a notification popped up:

[User "Sunny Doll" invites you to join the group chat "Nate's Loving Girlfriends." Accept?]

Hmm? That group name sounds ominous. Are they planning punishments for me in there?

No way he was accepting. He rejected the invitation immediately.

Sunny Doll: "Nate-sama, you're not joining? 🤔"

Sigma Male: "Silly girl, if I join, won't your cover be blown?"

Sunny Doll: "It's fine if it's for you, Juvia doesn't mind… 😳"

Dummy, if I join, they'll just make another group without you in it.

Nate activated "Ghost Mode." As the developer of the Magic Net, his account had full privileges, allowing him to browse any information without detection. He searched for the group name and joined invisibly.

Immediately, he saw the conversation unfolding within:

Cana: "Did you guys see just now?"

Cana: [Goddess_of_the_Chill_Moon_Seilah.jpg]

Cana: "Definitely a G-cup! So jealous! 😠"

Lucy: "It's really big… Her shoulders must hurt. 😮‍💨"

Juvia: "Nate-sama isn't that shallow. 😑"

Ultear: "He is that shallow, the idiot. 🤭"

Cana: "I agree! Nate always grabs onto my pandas when he's asleep. Juvia, hasn't he done that to you too?"

Juvia: "That's unconscious behavior. 🤔"

Cana: "Which makes him a shallow fool! 🙄"

Erza: "Nate seems to be afraid of the dark too."

Ultear: "Huh?"

Cana: "Really?"

Lucy: "That's definitely a lie!"

Erza: "It's true! He told me himself. When we went to the Akane Resort, he couldn't sleep unless he stayed in the same room as me."

Cana: "And you believed that nonsense? 😆"

Lucy: "Pervert!"

Erza: "Is that so?"

Erza: "By the way, who's the woman in the picture?"

Ultear: "She's a demon from Tartaros, one of the Nine Demon Gates. I suspect they've set their sights on Nate."

Ultear: "I'm a little worried this idiot might be tempted by her beauty. 🤦‍♀️"

Cana: "Tartaros!?"

Erza: "Nate wouldn't be that dumb, right? 😃"

Erza: "Still, should we just capture her first and interrogate her?"

Lucy: "Agreed!"

Cana: "Agreed!"

Juvia: "Agreed!"

Mirajane: "I'm having lunch with Jenny right now. Call me when you make a move! 😇"
