Author's Note:

I am not a native English speaker so please make allowances for my grammar or the flow of my sentences. This is a clichéd story but then again this is fiction and most of the good plot lines have been used at least a few dozen times already. This Harry Potter will be very powerful and has mastery of many forms of magic. His story will follow cannon excluding the epilogue of Deathly Hallows and the story will have violence and gore, but I must disappoint some of you because there will be no lemons or smut here so this story is labeled T.

Oops, sorry for not uploading this prologue earlier, thank you masterjedi0401 for the review, I found out about the mistake there.

Prologue

Harry Potter, the most powerful wizard in the world, inspected the intricately carved runic circle he made after three days of hard work. He was finally ready, after months of preparation, to undertake this ritual which would either release him from his obligations as the immortal 'Master of Death' and bring him to another dimension or he would die, either way was fine with him. He remembers how he first met 'Death' all those years ago.

The day after the final battle with Voldemort, he woke up in his room quite surprised to find the Hallows on the bed beside him. He was confused why this happened as he dropped the Resurrection Stone in the Forbidden Forest on his way to sacrifice himself and he had sealed the Elder Wand in Dumbledore's tomb after he repaired his holly wand. When he reached for the Hallows, the three artifacts flew to him. The stone attached itself to his forehead and the wand attached itself to his wand arm while the cloak came to engulf him. He gritted his teeth to prevent himself from crying out loud from the pain as all three objects slowly became absorbed into his body and all that remained was a very small white tattoo under his right bicep, he would never have noticed it if not for the burning sensation that remained after the initial pain left him. While he was looking at his reflection on a mirror, he gasped at what he saw behind him; there was something behind him, some sort of spirit looking at him as if assessing him.

"Hello, Master."

"Master? Why do you call me master?"

"Can you not guess?"

"Death?"

"Yes, I am Death. Whomever unites the Hallows becomes Death's Master; you have united them so you are my Master."

"Please take them back! I do not want to be anyone's master!"

"What's done is done, Master, and I do not have the power to release you."

"Then as your Master, I release you from my service! So mote it be!"

"It does not work that way, Master."

"Do you know how I can release you or is it even possible?"

"Becoming my master granted you immortality. Are you saying that you want to give that up? You will no longer age once you reach your magical maturity at the age of twenty five. Many would give their own souls to achieve this."

"I have no wish to become immortal, I want to live a normal life like any other and then join my loved ones when I die."

"You are a peculiar human. To answer your question, iIt is possible but you have to find the ritual to do so without my aid. It will take you to a different but similar reality that is not under my influence. You will retain your magic and the boost you received but you will lose the immortality becoming my master has granted you."

"What boosts did I receive?"

"Your magical core has grown exponentially and it will continue to do so until your magical maturity and you now have the ability to perform wandless magic and the ability to achieve true invisibility. True invisibility means you will not be detected in any way using magic or technology. You will leave no footprints or make any sound nor will you disturb your surroundings unless you mean to while invisible. You also gained a limited morphing ability similar to a metamorphmagus; the difference is that you can only morph into any age of your body, not change into another person. Lastly, any magic you cast like charms or transfiguration is permanent and can only be undone by you."

"Did you have something to do with my eyesight? I can see clearly now without my glasses."

"Yes, your body is now gradually perfecting itself so you might experience some muscle and joint aches due to this. You, my master, will become the envy of any Olympic athlete. Your strength, speed, agility, and durability will be greatly increased."

"Thank you, I guess. I do not wish to sound ungrateful but I never wished for any of this."

"Why do you think you became my master? The Hallows chose to return to you instead of being found by another greedy person."

"Wait, if I get defeated in a duel, will I stop being your master?"

"That avenue of escape is closed to you, Master. The Wand has already been absorbed as have the Stone and the Cloak."

"Is there anything I have to do now?"

"I would ask you to learn Occlumency and other magics from the books in your Potter, Black and Peverell family vault."

"Peverell? I am not of their blood and I only have one vault in Gringotts. I might not be able to access that anymore because we stole from one of their vaults and we took a dragon to escape."

"Do not worry about the goblins of Gringotts, ask to see Ragnok and show him your mark. He will give you access to the Peverell family vault. Dumbledore died before he was able to tell you about the Potter and Black family vaults. You will need money and knowledge to search for the ritual and you will find those in your vaults. Once you see Ragnok, treat him as an equal, they will respect you for that. You should offer to recompense them for the dragon that escaped and for property destroyed. They will try and over charge you but tell them that you will only pay three hundred thousand galleons once you have access to your family vaults."

"Only three hundred thousand galleons? I only have about fifty thousand in my vault!"

"Master, you forget that you will have three more vaults. Your current vault is only a trust vault for minors, a small fraction compared to the millions in your disposal."

"Millions?"

"The Potters and the Blacks are two of the oldest and richest in Europe. The Peverell vault is not as rich in gold but it contains much in books and scrolls."

"I see. How can I contact you? Will I ever see you again?"

"This will be our only meeting for now until you find the ritual. I am sure you will find it but it will take years before you do so, you still have tasks that your sense of justice will not let you abandon."

"I know, as much as I want to devote myself to the search, I have to help my friends rebuild our society."

"You have been given great power and influence, Master. Use it to bring an end to the prejudice and equality to all the sentient creatures. You are rich and will find a way continue to remain rich even if you spend much of it to cure and rid society of its problems. Do this and the fates would reward you with your wish."

Death vanished after those words and Harry took it to heart. He followed his instincts and chose good advisers to help him in his tasks.

Neville Longbottom became his ally in the Wizengamot to push for a review of the prejudiced laws of the Ministry. It took a long time but the Wizengamot became a representative body. Half the seats remained with the ancient and noble families with the same number going to the elected representatives of the people. Each member of the Ministry and the Wizengamot were asked to give an oath on their magic to work for the good of the people. Harry was the first to give this oath upon taking up his seats in the Wizengamot and it became a law to give the same oath upon employment in any position.

Luna Lovegood became his envoy to the sentient beings of Britain like the centaurs and goblins.

He funded a research team led by Hermione Granger to find a cure for lycanthropy.

When Madame Pomfrey resigned from her post in Hogwarts to become the chief administrator of St. Mungo's, he added a children's wing and included an orphanage so that all magical children will be sent there instead of relatives who are not fit to care for children.

He helped Minerva McGonagall and Filius Flitwick to persuade the Hogwarts Board of Governors to modernize the curriculum and add a common room for each year level to foster camaraderie and unity in the students. The updated Muggle Studies became a requirement for children raised in purely magical society and Wizarding Life became a core subject for those not raised in the magical world.

Harry used his free time in searching for the ritual while doing his duty to society. The British wizarding world became the model for a good and just society which was slowly copied by the world at large. It was far from perfect but it was a vast improvement.

In Harry's late twenties, he received an invitation letter from the Flamels who became his very close friends. Despite what they told Dumbledore, the Flamels did not due to the destruction of the Philosopher's Stone. It was only one of the extras they created and they took the stone's destruction as an opportunity to disappear. They chose to help young Harry just like they helped mentor a young Albus Dumbledore after observing his deeds. Nicholas and Perenelle became like surrogate parents to Harry after his defeat of Voldemort. The Flamels were only above average in their power but their long life enabled them to collect and learn much of the magical world's secrets which they shared and taught Harry. Perenelle saw the goodness in Harry's heart and his plans for their world so she persuaded her husband to teach Harry their most important secret, the creation of the Philosopher's Stone. He found out that aside from making the Elixir of Life and creating gold, it can also be used to make different metals. Harry swore on his life and magic that he will not abuse or spread this knowledge despite the couple's protests that it was not necessary. The Flamels once again disappeared after Harry's ten year apprenticeship ended.

The first thing they taught Harry was the mind arts, Occlumency and Legilimency. Harry already had good mental shields but the Flamels helped him fine tune his shields to become impenetrable.

Aided by the Flamels, he also learned to transform into his animagus form of a white Nemean lion, a magical cousin of the lion that has an impenetrable body and extremely sharp teeth and claws; its roar will frighten any man.

He also learned how to teleport, a method like apparition but without the uncomfortable feeling of being squeezed into a tube. You simply appear in a place you've been to without sound. They also taught him how to use modified portkey spell, no more disorientation and falling on your behind or the feeling of being pulled on the navel. When he asked why they did not share this to the public, the couple replied that the modified travel spells were too much of a power hog for the ordinary witch and wizard.

Aside from being a master of alchemy, Harry got masteries in Charms and Transfiguration. The goblins were grateful to Harry and his friends so they gifted Harry with their knowledge of warding and curse breaking from their best masters. They also allowed Harry to learn their secret knowledge of forging metals and enchanting. In payment for this, he returned the sword of Gryffindor to them with the promise to lend it to a worthy wizard if another dark lord comes. Harry forged himself a set of weapons made from the smoky dark steel the goblins used for real weapons instead of precious metals for ceremonial weapons like the Gryffindor sword.

The centaurs taught Harry, and his allies who wanted to learn archery and how to make excellent bows. They eliminated the threat of the acromantulas in the Forbidden Forrest. Hagrid did not object because with Aragog gone, his sons and daughters were a danger to the students.

It was during his late seventies that Harry finally found the ritual he was looking for. The goblins, being privy to Harry being the Master of Death, found the scroll during a dig in Egypt. They sold it to Harry for a king's ransom. While they were good friends with Harry, business was still business which he understood.

He took almost a year to prepare for his trip. Harry started by creating a custom trunk with seven heavily enlarged compartments. The first and default compartment will be used for normal clothes while the second was for his dragon hide and basilisk armors along with weapons and his personal pensieve, quite a few brooms, magic carpets and a dozen ward stones he has pre inscribed with runes, just waiting to be activated. The third was a library for his enormous collection of books and scrolls while the fourth was a storage room for medicinal potions and raw ingredients along with seeds and cuttings from magical plants. The fifth room was for his treasure room filled with bars of precious metals and gems along with his Philosopher's Stone and three time turners while the sixth room was for tons of drinks and food both cooked and uncooked. The last was his living quarters which had two bedrooms, a library and study, an entertainment room, a kitchen and dining room as well as a potions and alchemy laboratory. There was also a blacksmith's work shop for his metal works. The entire trunk was under permanent time compression wards, for every day spent inside his trunk, only a minute will pass in the real world.

He stored the trunk along with a wizarding tent, some emergency potions and food, a change of clothes, some plain gold and silver coins and his holly wand along with a broom into his old but well maintained moke skin pouch given to him by Hagrid in his seventeenth birthday.

He adopted Teddy Lupin, his godson, as the heir to the Potter and Black fortunes; he took all the contents of the Peverell vault with him. Although he had numerous relationships with witches, he never married or had children. He doted on Teddy and the children of his friends and he was treated as a second father to them all.

A day before he planned to perform the ritual, he gathered all his friends for a bon voyage party. He told them all that he was going on his second long journey around the world, they were not surprised or worried as Harry had done a similar tour after his apprenticeship with the Flamels, he was gone for almost two years.

His last will and the memory for his friends were already filed with the goblins. It will be read a week after he left and they will be told of the real reason why he left. He has generously provided for them in his will and he left a vault will be administered by the goblins under the care of Teddy Lupin Potter-Black and his heirs along with the headmaster of Hogwarts, and the chief administrator of St. Mungo's while the goblins will invest it to continue funding the institutions he started.

On Halloween night, when the barriers of life and death were at its lowest point, he began chanting the words to start the ritual. A shimmering silver portal opened inside the runic circle. Harry gave one last goodbye to his world and stepped into the portal. After the portal closed, an enormous wave of pure magic washed over the clearing, erasing most of the traces of the recently performed ritual; only a burned out and indistinguishable circle remained.

While Harry's unconscious body was in the in between, his mind was locked into a conversation with his former servant who took the appearance of an ethereally beautiful woman.

"Hello, Harry Potter. I told you we would see each other again."

"Death?"

"Yes, it is I, my former master. I have watched you from time to time and I saw your progress. You have done well so the fates sent the ritual for the goblins to find as your reward."

"I understand. Do you know where I am to be sent?"

"You are going to wake up in the land of Westeros. As my gift to you, you now know three of the languages of this world. The common tongue which is spoken by both commoners and the nobles along with High Valyrian, the language of a now dead civilization but is still used by some well-educated nobles, the scholars and the citizens of the Free Cities, though they speak different dialects of this tongue and finally the Old Tongue, spoken by the Children of the Forest, should you meet them in your travels."

"I see. Thank you, my lady, for the gifts you have given me. I would like to know about the status of my immortality? Was I successful?"

"You are no longer immortal, Harry Potter; though you will no longer age past that of your current age nor will you suffer from any sickness or poison. I have taken the liberty of giving you one final gift. You gained the near invulnerability of your animagus form. I fear that the wars to come in these lands would shorten your life span. Your skin can only be pierced by enchanted weapons. It is your good fortune that blades of this kind are extremely rare. The smiths of Old Valyria were able to create enchanted blades that have the same qualities and appearance as goblin forged steel however that technique has been lost in these lands for hundreds of years."

"You have been too generous, my lady. Thank you for your gifts. I will be able to use my magic when I land upon the shores of this new land, am I correct?"

"The boons you have received from me are your just rewards for the hard life you have led. You will not have a problem with using magic, you can even use it openly if you wish because there are some mystics in the lands across the sea that have some form of magic like shamans but none of them are like the witches and wizards of your world. Goodbye, Harry Potter. I hope it is a long time before I see you again."
