"Fools... You thought numbers would overcome an Agent of Darkness? Then let me show you the folly of your plans!"
Whose voice was that?
"I should be quite pleased to have such a discussion with your master. We must stand together or be felled apart. For now, however, retreat knowing you are not alone."
Why was I speaking like that?
"This is our first meeting, but it shall not be our last. Remember the name of Overlord Maou! It shall soon haunt your every dream!"
Was that really me?

"What the hell happened yesterday?"
How did I get back home?
"Was any of that real?"
Didn't I fly? Double-check that,
"...I need to verify before anything else."
No more reckless actions like doing my first transformation in an already chaotic situation instead of lying low and waiting for a chance to escape.

"This is actually real..."
I've accepted that, but why the sex change?
"I need to find somewhere I can test these powers without drawing attention..."
There's an instruction manual in my head, but some sections are unreadable.
"If I can fly after transforming, then I can find an isolated location and get there easily."
I shouldn't transform anywhere near my home.

"So, I can fly in my transformed state. I have super strength and speed. I can feel all kinds of weirdness across the city -- so I'm definitely not the only one with powers out there. I can also... Expel energy? Can I do anything else with it? I'll need more tests."
I should probably also make sure I'm not pinging anyone else with paranormal senses.
"I can put out a ton of energy, like from the park, but it's counter productive to remaining unnoticed... Maybe I can suppress it somehow?"
I should check to see if I can teleport next time I transform.
"I need a base of operations. I can't be wandering around the mountains of Japan blowing things up while figuring out my limits..."
I also need to be sure to clean up any evidence I was here.

Teleportation: No. Dimensional Portal: Yes.
The portal takes time to construct. That makes sense, it's a gateway to a different dimension.
Also, on the other side is some ruined land that looks like it has seen some shit. It'll take work to make it habitable, but for now it's somewhere I can practice without alerting every single other magical person in a hundred kilometer radius. If that's even a thing.
I hope I'm not trespassing.

Something is going on. I can feel a bunch of huge powers in conflict up in the mountains. That's still so weird to say, or even think. 'Sensing powers'. It's a sense I didn't have before, that I can't even explain, but it's just there now, and I can get all kinds of data that I need to figure out how to sort into useful, actionable information.
I don't have the scope of terminology to categorize these things beyond 'how they feel'. Should I come up with my own classification system? I suppose that will do for now.
So, there's 'Dark' powers, like mine, and also 'Light' powers, like some of the girls from the park. I've felt many of those since then, and some big ones are throwing around their weight tonight. There's other stuff mixed in that I can't separate. It's hard to tell where one power begins and another ends.
God, I sound like a character written by Akira Toriyama.

I am so glad I started keeping a journal. I should probably keep multiple copies, just in case something screwy happens. I'm dealing with a forbidden item of phenomenal cosmic dark power. If it starts affecting my mind, I might not even realize it.
I also need to consider how I'm going to conceal this other identity from my family. Keeping close associations out of the secret magic wars is usually a very delicate balance with many scares until eventually someone finds out. If they find out at an inopportune moment, it could have all kinds of ramifications. It could distract me at a crucial moment or something.
Note to self: Print out and memorize the Overlord List. Reference it regularly in this journal and elsewhere to make sure I'm not doing something stupid or crazy. If it conflicts with the list, reconsider it.
On that note, I need to have a completely normal six-year old child as one of my checks and balances. Any plan with a flaw they can point out will not proceed until that flaw has been corrected. I wonder if I can hire some minions. Maybe not Legions of Doom, but, like, a Minions 'R' Us or something. Haha. No one else in Japan even knows that reference, do they? I'm such a nerd. Whatever. Assuming I'm not crazy and hallucinating all this, I'm finally in a position to do what I've always dreamed of. Note to self: Reread the Practical Guide to Evil. If it's in there as something to avoid, I should avoid it as well.
