After the group dealt with the outriders of the horde, Allira couldn’t sing the ship back into existence because she needed to keep the swamp monsters imprisoned. Alice suspected that once they got to another town or city, Ethan would use magic to ‘permanently’ contain the creatures… but for now, they were being held in place almost exclusively by Allira’s magic. Thus, the group went back to being transported via Ethan’s raw kinetic magic, which was far less comfortable Despite the…-

The group started to set up for a fight. Alice prepared on her own by pulling her enchanted items out of her storage Perk. Normally, Alice wouldn’t have worried very much about it, since there were three Immortals here. That was equivalent to the strength of several hundred , or perhaps even a few thousand. But there was still a limit to how much an Immortal could handle, especially when the creatures they were fighting could resurrect themselves. With several hundred undying monsters attacking them,…

The group’s mood was solemn as they kept moving east. Seeing a city destroyed by the cataclysm had everyone on edge. Alice also found her thoughts drifting as the group kept moving. Would every city they found end up like this? Worse, what if the Immortal that the group was supposed to meet ended up dead? Alice had come all of this way because she needed to figure out how to make artificial class seeds. She was desperately hoping that seeing someone who knew how to make artifacts would help. If the…

My grandmother on my father’s side died in her sleep last night. We’re still not sure why, but she’s gone. Half of my grandparents are now dead. I remember a few years ago, when I was just starting to write Budding Scientist, I felt like the months of Covid were particularly bad because every few months another family member went to the hospital. It usually wasn’t even Covid related, it was just random catastrophes falling out of the sky. Last year I thought I beat the curse, since it over 12…

Alice spent the rest of the night desperately reconstructing the image of her rebuilt mana gem within {Magic Modelling}. The problem of ‘Alice’ mana had been solved by her, but that didn’t mean it was solved for everyone. If Alice kept relying on her Achievement to fix people’s mana gems, there was no way she would be able to help everyone who needed it. There were way too people for five restorations a month to cover everyone. Not to mention, Alice was also very interested in learning to fix…

As the group continued walking through Fendrallia, Alice began to notice a little bit of a chill. It wasn’t overwhelming, the way Illvarian winter had been when she first arrived in this world. Instead, it was more of a subtle, creeping chill burrowed into her bones. Which surprised Alice. While she didn’t have much cause to think about it these days, she had taken {Extremophile} as one of her Perks, all of those days back in the Illvarian wilderness. Combined with her exceptional stat, she usually…

“Well… first of all, the monster hordes Alice blinked. While Jonathan had mentioned failing to drive off a monster swarm, the sentence before that worried her more. Even Illvaria was starting to suffer from the monster swarms? She had thought that Illvaria was handling it reasonably well, since Ethan hadn’t said much about it to her. She had also been caught up in her research and trying to fix the System collapsing… which, now that Alice thought about it, might have been why Ethan never…

Immortal Jonathan led Alice and Ethan to a side room, away from everyone else. Allira and Jonathan’s wife remained behind, because neither of them were aware of the System’s inner workings. Cecilia had originally prepared to join them, but Alice had mentioned the discussion was more… personal. The people who were most impacted by this conversation would be Immortal Jonathan and his family. Since Jonathan seemed uncomfortable with the idea of more people hearing about this, Alice and Ethan had told…

The group followed Jonathan through fields of giant crops for a few minutes. Alice noted, with some amusement, that wheat and apples were nowhere near the only crops grown in Jonathan’s country. She spotted some sort of pepper, carrots, and several far more exotic-looking crops as well. Finally, after about ten minutes of walking, they reached a large building. It was one of the strangest architectural designs Alice had ever seen. It looked like someone had made a palace-themed farmhouse. The farmhouse…

Alice spent the next few hours explaining what she had learned through her experiments. Of course, Alice had hidden some information, specifically related to the nature of the System. She didn’t think that was a good idea to share with other people. Telling the of Cendaria that there was a physical mainframe for the System somewhere northwest of Illvaria would be a terrible idea. Alice wasn’t even sure that she trusted the of Illvaria with that information, because there was so much potential for…
