Chapter 244 - A Budding Scientist in a Fantasy World

“Now that we’ve dealt with the biggest threat in the power supply, we should probably focus on clearing out the rest of the nest,” said Myra, as the group rested after the fight.

“Shouldn’t we wait for your extra life to regenerate? Going into a fight without being at full strength is risky, especially since we have no idea what ...

Chapter 465: Post Battle Rewards - Markets and Multiverses

After the first wave of monsters was dealt with, our group of hero trainees and trainers retreated from the front lines. Most of the trainers buzzed around Sallia in particular - after all, in this fight Sallia had outperformed even the average adult warriors of our clan. I felt a bit bad for the other children, since it really wasn’t a fair c...

Chapter 464: The Front Lines - Markets and Multiverses

I felt more than a little eager as other warriors from the town leapt off the side of the village-bearing beasts and started to scatter around the snowy clearing we found ourselves in. Almost immediately afterwards, a few men and women dove into the trees. The scouts were already getting to work.

“Sit with us in the center for now...

Chapter 463: Training - Markets and Multiverses

I wasn’t very surprised to see my other three friends make it into the hero training program after my audition. The four of us were well beyond the norm for people our age, even if we excluded half of our abilities. Realistically, each of us could probably fight an average warrior and have decent odds of winning, due to how many powerful abili...

Chapter 243 - A Budding Scientist in a Fantasy World

After Ethan finished healing Alice and the other mages, Alice took a few moments to filter through her accumulated class mana. She hadn’t been as diligent about doing that recently, because the sights and knowledge within the System were distracting and of critical importance to her. However, Alice still realized that more levels would always ...

Chapter 462: Hero Selection - Markets and Multiverses

Since our ember remained still for another two weeks after the extraplanar visitor left, the seven towns went through a period of planning and adjustment. The survivors from the village-bearing beast that had died during the fighting were relocated to other towns, people who had lost family and friends mourned, and arrangements were made ...

Chapter 461: New Policy - Markets and Multiverses

After the extraplanar visitor left, it didn’t take long for other people to start trying to reassert order. The mayor of our village quickly herded everyone back into the village-bearing beast, while I saw other villages that had incurred casualties start to mourn and bury their dead.

Seeing their sorrow caused me to feel a bit worried, ...

Chapter 460: Extraplanar Visitor - Markets and Multiverses

I stared at the flying man, and my instincts started to scream at me. He hadn’t taken any hostile actions against us, and he had even been rather polite. That didn’t mean I had forgotten what had happened just a minute ago. The man was still flying in the sky as if he had been born a bird, rather than a human. Just the aftermath of his fight...

Chapter 242 - A Budding Scientist in a Fantasy World

After pondering Cecilia’s translated journal entries, Alice spent several minutes mulling over the words from the other transmigrator. Knowing that she was, for sure, not entirely alone was comforting. The idea that there might be an easy way back home was also comforting. However, Alice couldn’t help but worry. The System had been utterly r...

Chapter 459: Apocalyptic Magic - Markets and Multiverses

The rippling essence in the sky felt as if it would tear the very world asunder.

My father, and many of the other townsfolk, also seemed to feel the imminent threat of death. My father turned pale as he looked at the terrifying essence surging above us.

“Miria. Stay quiet and don’t squirm,” said my father.

Then, he grabbe...

Chapter 458: War in the Heavens - Markets and Multiverses

Months continued to pass by. I quickly learned that {Born of Winter’s Hold} was a Skill that had a variety of different effects. The  first day I tried it was the day after I got my second spark. All I had to do was use {Basic Ice Manipulation} to gather a bunch of snow as we were travelling through a blizzard, and then I created a nice p...

Chapter 457: Status Report - Markets and Multiverses

The procurement of my next spark went without a hitch. Just like when I acquired my first spark, my father led me to the local [Priest], who brought me to the Ember, and helped guide a little spark of flames from the ember into my body. From there, I dragged it into my heart, where the world’s local System helped integrate into my body. Nothin...

Chapter 241 - A Budding Scientist in a Fantasy World

“What does it say?” asked Alice, as she looked over Cecilia’s shoulder. She could barely contain her excitement. Translated passages from the System had a great deal of value - they might provide key insights into how the System was constructed, or hints about how to go home and return to this world at will.

“I’ve managed to piec...

Chapter 456: Growth - Markets and Multiverses

When I saw my father’s worried and anxious expression, I started to feel a little bit guilty about my actions.

Based on the time I had spent spying on the front lines, the soldiers there had held out admirably. Very few monsters had slipped through the defensive line, and the city defense force had quickly wiped out the few monsters that...

Chapter 455: Aldyn - Markets and Multiverses

Miria’s father, Aldyn, stared at the expanse of snowy, white jungle in his surroundings, and squinted. The sunlight that made the snow and ice glitter like crystals was beautiful, but it was also deadly. If he got distracted for even a moment, something might leapt out of the forest and kill him or one of his companions before they could react...

Chapter 454: Laundering Levels - Markets and Multiverses

It took another year before Ansie, Felix, and Sallia got their own feats. Sallia got a feat that gave her a proper ‘sixth sense’ while she was in combat. According to her, she took it partially out of hope it would strengthen her, and partially out of curiosity. Sallia already had exceptional senses and skill in close quarters combat, but th...

Chapter 240 - A Budding Scientist in a Fantasy World

After three days of slow, tedious testing and research, Alice felt like she was about to lose her mind.

This was because of the enchantment she was studying. At first, Alice had been incredibly excited. The idea of studying a functioning safe portal enchantment had huge potential - not just for transportation within the System, but for the...

Chapter 453: Feat - Markets and Multiverses

The next several months were peaceful. The herd of migratory towns continued to wander through the frozen jungle, one day at a time. Felix started to practice his wood carving techniques. The town mostly relied on iron weapons and magic, but there were still a good number of warriors who relied on bows. Thus, the four of us had assumed that Feli...

Chapter 452: Trade - Markets and Multiverses

Through my spatial sight, I could see the warriors of both herds of towns eye each other with suspicion. The distance between each herd was large enough that arrows and spells would struggle to reach the other side - at least, in other worlds. However, in this world, where the System could grant people unknown abilities, I wasn’t so sure. I co...

Chapter 451: Second Village - Markets and Multiverses

The other townsfolk seemed less surprised than I was, but their reactions had an unusual undertone to them. They eyed the area surrounding the church, as if something would jump out of the shadows at any moment and try to eat them. I felt pinpricks of hope blossom in my surroundings, like little fireflies in the night, while fear buzzed undernea...

Chapter 239 - A Budding Scientist in a Fantasy World

The moment Alice saw her new language skill, she felt a surge of excitement. The language skill didn’t tell her everything… but it gave her a huge piece of the full story. Finnish was a language primarily spoken in Finland… which was a country that Alice knew existed back on Earth. She had a rough idea what had happened here now - someone ...

Chapter 450: Time’s Frozen Tracks - Markets and Multiverses

A few more months passed by before our next companion woke up. This time, it was Sallia. When Felix and I talked about our loose plans for this world, she seemed just as hopeful for our prospects in this world as Felix and I were. To my amusement, Sallia also had some complaints about how limited our sparks were. She wanted something that was mo...

Chapter 449: Treasures of the Frozen Jungle - Markets and Multiverses

The day after our ember stopped moving, the village started to spring to life like a well oiled machine. At first, I didn’t think much of this - I just assumed that the warriors of town would explore our surroundings and establish a defensive perimeter, and then we would hunker down and wait out the time until our ember started moving again.

Chapter 448: Planning the Next Step - Markets and Multiverses

I spent the next few hours giving Felix an introduction to this world. I spent a particularly long period of time discussing the System with him, as well as what that meant for us. He was very interested in the possibilities that a local System opened up for us - after all, we had never encountered one before, but it seemed to give us all sorts ...

Author’s Note: Fixed an incorrect instance of referring to [Mana Researcher] as [Reality Researcher] all the way back in chapter 234. Names should now be consistent with each other.

Chapter 447: Benefits of the Local System - Markets and Multiverses

The first System notifications I looked over were the local System notifications. After all, I already knew roughly what I could expect from the Market’s system - it was far less exciting for me than the local System. I wanted to know what kind of boosts I could expect in the future.

The local System didn’t give me anything world-shatt...

Chapter 446: Monsters  - Markets and Multiverses

After my father dashed out of the hut to fight on the front lines, I hesitated. My father had asked me to stay inside. That made sense for most children - I could certainly envision numerous three year olds trying to prove that they were powerful now that they had a spark, only to immediately get wiped out by the much stronger and more powerful ...

Chapter 445: Basic Ice Manipulation  - Markets and Multiverses

I spent the next few days playing with my new Skill. I had never gotten a skill from a local System before, so I had no idea what to expect. The results were quite interesting. The first thing I discovered was that I couldn’t find the Skill using my essence senses. When I used my essence sense to look for anything bound to me or attached to me...

Chapter 237 - A Budding Scientist in a Fantasy World

With the first major material shortage taken care of, Alice returned to the Perk library room while Doll went back to finding and sending her golems to mine other resources. Alice had a hard time figuring out the way the System created ‘inner layers’ to a Class seed, unfortunately, which made it hard to figure out how to repair it. When she ...
