The expedition continued on for the rest of the day with a quiet and somber mood. The guards were required to patrol the area much more frequently, and Alice occasionally saw Illa or one of the other high-level fly to the tops of trees and scout the surrounding area from the air, as well as one of the other mages who she didn’t know. The expedition maintained a semi-alert state and frequently stopped to scan the surroundings, but didn’t encounter any other ‘deserters’ or other attempts to…-

When Alice woke up, the first thing she noticed was that the pain in her arm and her stomach were gone. Clearly, someone had gone through the effort of fixing all of the problems with her body after the fight. The (presumably) that had saved her during the fight was gone, probably off running damage control elsewhere, but Alice still knew that there was no way she could have healed her injuries so cleanly and so well in such a short period of time without some sort of magical assistance. However, her…

Alice was awoken from her light nap with a loud “What’s going on?” Asked Alice, trying to make sense of the sudden noise in the world around her. She could suddenly hear multiple people yelling, and some part of her brain was urgently screaming at her. Alice tried to finish waking up, rubbing absently at her eyes, before she turned to Milo. “I don’t know, but I think something bad is happening,” said Milo, frowning. “Come on, let’s get out of the wagon.” Alice didn’t need to be…

After several hours of waiting in the wagons, Alice was bored. The mystery of exactly how and why she had appeared here was intriguing, and Alice had wondered what the expedition itself would be like. She had imagined something far more interesting – an exploration of a world filled with magic and monsters. Events, treasure hunting… Imagination, sadly, was not very close to reality. The most notable thing she had done, was see Illa Apart from that, all Alice had done was look outside of the covered…

The expedition’s staging area was more chaotic than Alice had imagined it being – even though everyone knew what they were doing and where they were supposed to be, the sheer number of people involved still surprised her. Alice wandered around, since she had nothing to do, and wondered if there was some sort of task that required her assistance. Most of the people around here were simply helping to load up the covered wagons, with a plethora of Perks on display making the process safer, faster, and…

When she got back to the mansion, Alice started out by writing down what she had discovered over the course of the day into her notebook. - Magicians seem to have had a tendency to melt themselves to death before the System appeared. - Possibly hints that the System helps people deal with mana? Further evidence is the fact that all System interactions I have seen so far begin by drawing in mana, and the fact that mana seems to have been ‘poisonous’ to people before the System started operating.…

After her training session with Illa, Alice went to the church. It was on the way to Cecilia’s shop, and Alice wanted to see if there were any records about magic seeds, or the massive number of weird System messages she had seen yesterday. Apart from that, she wanted to see if the church had any records of ‘before the System.’ It might prove invaluable as a source of investigation, if she could get some solid details on what mages had been like before and after the System ‘revealed itself’ to…

After whatever the hell had just happened, Alice realized she was missing something. An incredibly critical piece of equipment that Science needed, and that she had been lacking up until now. It was, indeed, what one might consider Shakily, Alice got up and looked around. Her room’s door was still messed up, but nothing else was broken or damaged. The horrifying heat that had leaked out of the core behind her heart... The way everything touching her hands had broken and melted like putty… all those…

Alice started out the day by taking a look at her newly acquired level 10 Perk. She opened up her Status Screen and looked over her options. Wait, now that she thought about it, she swore she could remember the Guard at the gates when she had entered town asking if she had any Perks that let her store items? Even with {Enhanced Memory}, her ability to recall the encounter wasn’t perfect, but she was pretty sure he had asked about it. In that case, it was really unlikely the Perk would get her into…
