“Woah! What are you!” Seris said before Cal was able to take a step. It made him sprint. He covered the distance in a second at most. If Seris had seen how fast he moved, she would have had another thing to be amazed about. Cal expected that the powdered crystal had attracted some beast, but what he saw was far more surprising. The little beast was standing before Seris, staring up at her with an annoyed expression. His confusion almost distracted him from noticing what had been added to his field.…

Cal could faintly hear Seris’s stuttered answers to Tavia’s equally faint questioning. Still, he was more interested in figuring out how to fill the tub with the required amount of water. Drex told him he needed to make a slurry composed of two parts water and one part powdered crystal. That’s all well and good, but the issue Cal was having was forming a rain cloud small enough to have it work. He had tried multiple times to cast the spell while trying to concentrate it over a tub with minimal mana…

There were several ways the following confrontation could go. Tavia could laugh it off and not think much about it, be slightly miffed, or be angry enough to storm off in a rage. He didn’t count observations from afar as actually ‘knowing’ someone. It was far too easy to hide one’s true personality in that way. The realization made Cal seriously consider his impulsive decision to let her board at his house. He accepted far too readily—and eagerly. He searched for any memories that brought out…

He gave the living room a last, disgusted look before reversing course. There was no chance he could sleep peacefully knowing what was just outside his room. Cal reentered the storage room, picked out one of the four spare shovels on the rack, and dumped it into the wheelbarrow. He wheeled them outside, heading right to the area with all the newly shattered stones. The sun had nearly disappeared. He would give it a few more minutes before it was gone completely. Thankfully, it wouldn’t affect his…

Cal watched in amusement as the little beast woke with a loud squeak and jumped well over ten feet in the air. It landed on all fours and stared at him with eyes the size of dinner plates. Clearly, it did not mean to sleep in the storage room. “So?” Cal raised an eyebrow when it stayed frozen for a few seconds. The little beast went into action. It hopped off the stacked powdered crystals and pointed at the aforementioned stack. It straightened its back and walked stiffly around the storage room,…

Cal had the rake in hand as he practically floated with excitement into his field. He was entirely focused on the dirt patch that would finally go through the first step of the repair process. He noticed something in the corner of his eye. Cal turned to see two workers with their arms around a large object covered with a soft cover—frozen and staring at him with shock. He had forgotten about them altogether. His eyes darted around, and he was happy that Tavia was nowhere to be found. She was doing…

The strange, smooth-skinned creatures scurried around near the treasure trove. She didn’t like it. At all. The only thing that stopped her from taking care of these creatures was their unmistakable avoidance of where the treasure was stored. They ventured close— She took a dip under the large lake and took a long drink, surfacing only when her appetite was sated. She blinked her eyes to clear them of the miracle water and returned to her all-important watch. The nice-smelling smooth-skin was there…

He watched with vague interest as Tavia took command of the arrived carts. The items she ordered looked adequate to his eyes, but he had little interest in the aesthetics of where he lived. That was obvious when Cal adapted quickly to the little shed when he arrived in the Northern Wastes. As long as the bed he slept in was comfortable, he could care less about the rest. Cal checked his mana core. He felt enough time had passed for him to make another try with He was still coming to terms with how…

Cal’s boots crunched the dirt underneath with every step. He had just passed the fork that had the marker for the Northern Wastes. The trip back from Lumina took longer than it should have, but he didn’t consider it wasted time. Not when he had been reading the booklet for Cal had already read the entire thing multiple times. As was typical with spells at this level, it was primarily based on understanding natural processes. The better he could understand how and why it rained naturally, the easier…

The interface disappeared when Cal’s finger touched It was the safer—perhaps unwise—trait to pick, but he felt it was justified. He knowingly sacrificed a better, longer-term trait for one that could help him immediately. The interface offered him a reward that focused on protection. Then, the wolves almost immediately threatened his storage room, necessitating that he get some type of defense. Cal shifted his focus off the trait and hesitantly tested his mana core again. He sensed that a tenth…
