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 [Combat Butler]. “Give this to the Ethics Committee, along with my personal thanks for sending three committee members to oversee my apprentice’s experim...
2023-03-11 07:50:15 +0000 UTC View PostI showed up to a meeting spot for children my age feeling incredibly excited, looking around the massive room as I hoped to spot Sallia and Felix before they spotted me. Each year, somewhere around a hundred and fifty to two hundred children turned twelve. All of us met in a large conference room to get tested for magical affinity, before we wer...
2023-03-11 05:21:19 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a nice dinner of mushrooms, fish, and some giant spider, my family finished our dinner. We ended our meal with a few apples from the surface settlement as a dessert, before we made our way back home. My parents and siblings seemed eager to go to bed, so I dematerialized my Lake-Gazer’s dress right after we walked through the door. My mot...
2023-03-10 04:47:22 +0000 UTC View PostWhile my mother worked her way through the wares of the seamstress shop, I started to take stock of the rest of my situation. Since I had been in full control of my body for less than a day so far, it was still a bit hard for me to get used to moving around as a five year old.
I wondered if Sallia and Felix were aware yet. I recalled that ...
2023-03-09 05:34:14 +0000 UTC View PostMy mother stepped out of the room, before she returned with a pink dress. The dress wasn’t new, and I could tell that it was handed down from my older sister, based on the wear and tear at the edges. Most odd, the dress was clearly made for someone a little smaller than me. I wondered if it was a hand me down from my sister, since she was olde...
2023-03-07 02:27:20 +0000 UTC View PostAlice 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}...
2023-03-04 07:17:54 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor’s Note: Confession time! I’m bad at math. I accidentally gave Sallia and Felix an extra item each, meaning they’re both at 6/5 Items according to Chapter 67. This… should not be possible.
I have updated that chapter. They no longer have their backpacks. If the group is traveling as a set of 3, one person hav...
2023-03-04 02:57:03 +0000 UTC View PostIt took us nearly three days to find another reincarnation spot. This was mostly because six hours into our journey, we ran into another, wealthier commercial district. It seemed that the commercial district wasn’t just one ‘zone’ the way the residential and entertainment districts were. Instead, it seemed to be split into several sections...
2023-03-03 03:59:13 +0000 UTC View PostAfter leaving ‘The Drunken Worldwalker,’ it took us a few hours to find an item shop that suited our needs. Just like when we had found a shop to purchase Stats from, we ignored shops that looked like they were too wealthy, for fear of encountering defenders we couldn’t defeat yet. However, any of the shops that looked like they had been r...

2023-02-25 07:07:26 +0000 UTC View PostNote about Errors in previous chapter:
In the previous chapter, when I posted it, Miria’s Status Screen had two errors.
First, I didn’t add in her Swordsmanship Ability and her Rune to her ‘body’ stats, meaning her current body should have had an extra +25 to all physical Stats.

2023-02-25 05:19:12 +0000 UTC View PostIt took us another 3 hours to get back to the commercial district, and another half an hour to locate a suitable store. We ignored any store that looked too well off, since those were likely to be defended by bigger threats than some minor skeletons. We probably skipped several reasonable targets, but it was a small price to pay to make sure my ...
2023-02-24 04:50:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning, I was pleasantly surprised to realize that I didn’t have a hangover. I hadn’t drank that much alcohol, but I had still been expecting at least a mild headache. Fortunately, the bodies built by the Market didn’t seem built to feel aftereffects from imbibing too much alcohol. However, the strange leftover drowsines...

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 ...
2023-02-19 04:32:31 +0000 UTC View PostI already talked about my February 15th deadline, right? I ended up a fair bit behind on schedule this week because of it. Expect Budding Scientist chapter tomorrow. And maybe an MaM chapter tomorrow as well, if I'm feeling up to it.
2023-02-18 05:41:55 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Sallia, Felix and I found the crate of alcohol, we decided to only take a few bottles back with us. Since we had no magic storage available, we would need to manually carry everything ourselves, and there was no need to only bring alcohol back. We put the remaining alcohol back on the shelves of the store, freeing up some room in the crate...
2023-02-18 05:40:28 +0000 UTC View PostAfter 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...
2023-02-11 07:54:40 +0000 UTC View PostAfter our chilling realization that buying lives might not be as easy as we first thought, our group regrouped in the entertainment district. Our spirits were much lower now that we finally realized how much danger we were actually in.
“We all have four lives left, right?” I asked, as we checked our surroundings for Skeletons.

2023-02-11 06:05:39 +0000 UTC View PostAs we continued walking through the Market, we kept a wary eye out for skeletons. After all, they could be an easy way to acquire some new weapons, and they were also a notable threat to us right now. Even if they were incredibly stupid, if a lot of them gathered together, we would have a hard time dealing with them. And right now our only weapo...
2023-02-10 03:53:40 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the three of us finished talking about future life policies, I looked around the medieval peasant’s hut we had taken over, before I looked back at my friends.
“Even if we’re going to live future lives by taking huge risks, we still need to make plans.” I said. “I think that starts with Abilities and ability planning. Just s...

The biggest reason the real version of the story diverges from this plotline is because of stat rolls. I generally write my original plotline ass...
2023-02-04 07:40:55 +0000 UTC View PostAlice 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 six...
2023-02-04 07:39:49 +0000 UTC View PostI floated in a sea of darkness, dragged through the endless void by a golden lasso of energy. Just like the first time I had died, I hurtled through dimension after dimension, feeling the shape of reality waver and remold itself over and over again with each dimension I passed through.
However, unlike the first time I had died, I wasn’t ...

The islanders had lost too much today.
He thought back to Miria, the little child who he had watched grow up for the past decade, and sighed as he looked again at the outsider’s ships. She was one of ...
2023-02-03 05:27:38 +0000 UTC View PostBefore I had time to catch my bearings, I felt something pull at me, dragging me off my feet and pulling me towards the angry Megailian man standing at the front of the boat. I started, not understanding what was happening until I was in midair again. A few moments later, the unnatural pull on my body disappeared, causing me to crash back into t...
2023-02-02 02:12:10 +0000 UTC View PostAlice knocked on the door to Ethan’s study, trying to quell the thrill of nervousness that ran down her spine as she thought about revealing her status as an {Outworlder}. However, since she had made up her mind, she would follow her intentions through.
“Yes?” asked Ethan. “You can come in.”
Alice opened to the door to Etha...
2023-01-28 08:12:05 +0000 UTC View PostIt took another ten seconds for the boat to reach us. In that time, Felix, Erik and I bobbed up and down in the ocean, taking a moment to hack some water out of our lungs and savor the feeling of being alive. Now that the adrenaline rush had started to fade away, the pain and exhaustion from our desperate flight in the Ocean started to kick in, ...
2023-01-28 05:33:04 +0000 UTC View PostIt took less than ten minutes for the first sign of danger to appear. I saw another of the strange, transparent creatures in the distance, slowly making its way through the ocean. I frowned, before I tightened my grip on Erik and Felix’s arms and stopped moving. It wouldn’t do for the creature to set its sights on us and chase us around. I o...
2023-01-27 04:50:44 +0000 UTC View PostI spent a few days getting my injured bones healed up. During that time, the Outsiders continued searching the area. Two days after my return from the ocean, one of the outsider boats seemed to spot the fishing boats keeping an eye on them from the skies, confirming that we were in this area. The fishing boat, luckily, was intelligent enou...

And sometimes I just forget to give her the levels she earns. I didn't need to reference Alice's St...
