That night, a thought occurred to Alice. Why were there 143 Mariums of Kinetic Energy mana inside of her magic seed if there were only 67 Mariums of mana inside of her? That… that didn’t make any sense did it? Granted, the first time she had measured the Mariums instead of her body, it had been after a training session with Illa, so she had been nearly empty on mana. However, she was suddenly consumed by a strange thought. What if the two didn’t match up? She had spent around 6 hours reading after…-

The next day, Alice headed to the Church, in order to sit down and verify her thoughts on Mana and attributes. Alice got Priest Friedheim’s permission to sit in on his lesson with the children of the town relatively easily – it seemed the man did not mind her sitting on the edge of the lesson, so long as she was not disruptive. She spent a few minutes getting permission from the kids to ask them if she was correct in playing a ‘guessing game’ about when they gained an Attribute, much to…

"If you are done staring at your System notifications, may I ask what exactly you're doing?" Asked Illa, staring at Alice and frowning. “Huh?” Alice gave Illa a dumbfounded look. “You’re obviously up to Alice winced. She hadn’t thought much about her behavior from an outside perspective. However, now that she thought about it, it was kind of rude to half-ignore the person who was training you and in the room with you, and her behavior had been rather obviously off once she thought about it.…

Alice spent the night in nervous anticipation, before she finally got up the next day. She started out by reading through more of Illa’s library, as usual, but couldn’t focus on the words in each book as well as she normally could. Today, she would finally test one of her theories. She had generated dozens of them during her time in the wilderness, wondering what the System was and how it worked. Finally, she had the ability to test at least a corner of how this dimension worked. A tiny start, but it…

The next morning, when Alice woke up her entire body hurt. She had hoped that perhaps some effect of the System or some Perk from Illa would fix sore muscles. Unfortunately, reality, destroyer of dreams, informed her that this wasn’t the case. Groaning, she flopped out of bed, her arms still twitching occasionally as she wobbled around. She took a quick look around the room, noting that it was lightly decorated and sported decent-looking wooden furniture, but nothing extensively spectacular or…

After two hours of grueling training, Illa finally allowed Alice to stop training. Alice took this as permission to instantly drop dead, not even bothering to find a place to lay down before collapsing onto the floor. The waves of exhaustion that she had been suppressing for hours crashed over her instantly. Her arms and legs trembled, and now that she had stopped moving them, Alice didn’t know if she could lift them even if she wanted to. On Earth, Alice was relatively certain this training program…

When Alice arrived at the mansion, the guard at the gate quickly waved her through. Clearly, she had been told to expect Alice’s arrival. After entering the estate, she was directed to a small waiting room, and a maid made her some tea. Alice absently noted that the water seemed to heat itself up and the tea tasted perfect despite having taken less than thirty seconds to steep, but quickly attributed it to a perk. Less than ten minutes later, Illa stepped into the room. She gave Alice a cursory glance,…

Alice nearly departed from the church, before she finally remembered why she had come here in the first place. Even though she had already accepted the class, she could definitely do with some advice on her build right now. “Priest Friedham, would you mind talking about my classes with me? I need some advice.” “Ah, you have some class slots left, yes? In that case, let’s talk.” “Well, to start off with, how do people usually go about dealing with their classes? How do people choose what to…

Alice spent several hours looking through the book, forgetting to even find something to eat. Honestly, even more than she needed to think about her potential fourth class and what she might want as her final main class, Alice needed to unwind for a while. As a bookworm, spending some time reading was her preferred method of de-stressing. Considering the fact that most books cost several silver crowns at least, gaining access to books of any sort was quite difficult. Granted, the book itself wasn’t…

Alice took a few moments in the court room to simply breathe in and out. The feeling of relief that she felt when the court pronounced that she was innocent was a huge weight off of her shoulders. At the same time, the knowledge she would never be going home was like a stone in her heart. Still, after taking a few minutes to cry herself out in the now-deserted court room, she got up and tried to focus on the bright side of things. She had walked into this courtroom with the fear that she might be executed…
