Once the decision to pursue the unusual footprints was made, the group rapidly started packing up the camp. The group left a few notes, written in some sort of military code, placed in semi-hidden spots throughout the place they had camped so that if the reinforcements from Metsel reached the camp before they returned, they would know what direction to go in order to meet up with the group. The messages themselves were liberally coated in rainbow mana, making Alice wonder how exactly the coded messaged…-

The next few hours were spent in a strange mixture of tension and boredom. Nobody quite knew where the villagers had gone, and nobody really had a good way to find out, either. Which meant that the group was stuck in a place with unknown dangers possibly lurking nearby. However, it was difficult to remain tense and ready for an unknown danger to appear for hours on end, especially when nothing happened during that time period. While a few of the appeared to be using some sort of Perk that kept their…

Alice uneasily glanced around, trying to pick out any potential threats. There was probably nobody else in Illvaria who had quite the same quantity of Perks and Achievements enhancing her vision and ability to perceive mana, and she fully intended to make use of that. If the Society, in particular, had attacked this village and spirited away the villagers, Alice Unfortunately, she couldn’t make out a thing. Part of the issue was because the region was simply incredibly chaotic already. There was so…

After Alice agreed to go, Ethan quickly smiled at her, before nodding. “I’m glad to hear it. Get ready then. I sent word to a few other Mages, especially those who have some extra resistance or complete immunity to broken mana poisoning. The ones that accept my request should be here in half an hour or so. We’ll also be taking some along; while I “All right. Thank you for the information,” said Alice. Ethan gave her a quick nod, before departing, presumably to make other arrangements. Alice…

Ethan, Immortal of Spells and Seeds, finished writing a letter. He frowned, using {Examine Paperwork} to make sure that he was happy with the letter’s contents, before he handed it to his . “Give this to the Ethics Committee, along with my personal thanks for sending three committee members to oversee my apprentice’s experiment. It made starting the process much easier,” he said. The nodded at Ethan, before quickly exiting the room and leaving Ethan alone again. Ethan took a look at the next…

Alice looked over her new Perks, as well as {Expanding Comprehension} and {Broken Seed}, before she grinned to herself. Both Perks were off of their cooldown, so she had four Perks to use before she went to sleep for the day. First, she decided to test what she could define as an ‘experiment’ for the purposes of {Speed Experimentation}. Time manipulation was far too exciting not to try out immediately, after all. Alice spent a few moments thinking about the best way to test out her new Perk. After…

Alice looked over the first of her System notifications, and then grinned. Technically, Alice hadn’t actually done an experiment. She had only started the process for learning how to make mana baptisms safer. So she was quite happy with the number of levels she had gotten for a simple observation experiment. Three new Perks wasn’t bad at all. Though, she did find the fact that this observation experiment counted as a successful experiment for the ‘For Science’ Perk to be quite strange. She went…

Marium after Marium of pure mana was dumped into the area where Tavi was laying down and waiting for the baptism to start. Since humans had the highest survival rate for mana baptisms when exposed to pure mana, every shred of broken mana in the area was kept away from the section of the room the teenager was in, to maximize his survival odds as much as possible. Meanwhile, Alice found herself hoping once more that the teenager would live through this. She didn’t want to watch another human die. Mana…

After Alice returned to Ethan’s mansion, she let him know that she wanted to do her mana baptism observations now. Ethan stopped what he was doing, wrote a few letters, and gave them to his servants, before excusing himself. This left Alice alone with her thoughts. Alice figured she could get her first round of observations underway, and then later today she could use {Broken Magic Seed} and {Expanding Comprehension} to investigate more about System magic seeds. On some level, she found it a little…

Alice stared at Immortal Ethan, who had shown up to her morning board game session, and tried not to feel awkward. After her conversation with Immortal Ethan yesterday, she had realized that Ethan was more interested in her than before. Alice suspected it was because Ethan learned that she had reached her current level in a year, rather than sixteen and a half years. Reaching level 68 in a Class before turning seventeen was really impressive by this world’s standards, since most people reached somewhere…
