Click hereAfter a few moments of thinking, Alena muttered with a sigh. "Well, at least I now know why the girl made so many mistakes today." She then turned around and began carefully gathering the herbs into her pouch, careful not to have ingredients that shouldn't touch close to each other. Whatever mystery there was around this boy, she didn't as yet have enough information to crack it. As such, she'd just go on observing the boy for now...

Once again, Greg was on the bed naked and watching as the healer weaved a healing rune. A contented sigh left Greg as the magic began to pour through the rune and coat his whole body in that warm viscous sensation that always seemed to ease all his pain and injuries. Greg didn't even pay attention to the counter keeping track of how many magical points he'd earned. By now they were just numbers to him. In fact, he was thinking of once again modifying the distribution of healing to magical points. Seeing as he couldn't exactly make use of the magical points, he might as well focus more on getting better. Perhaps a seventy-thirty split would be more...
Greg's eyes went wide and his train of thought came to a screeching halt as the feeling suddenly hit him. If someone asked Greg to capture it in words, he'd say it's like he'd had ten layers of blankets stacked on top of him and all of a sudden they'd been taken away and he could breathe! It was like, there had been a weight pressing down on him that he had grown so used to that he didn't even notice. And all of a sudden, that weight had been taken away! It's like he'd been underwater for far too long and suddenly, he could come up for air!
Greg didn't have to wonder what was happening for long. This time, he didn't even have to activate the system. Whatever it was that had happened was important enough that the system deployed on its own. Before he'd even gotten used to the sensation, a virtual screen filled his vision telling him why he was feeling that way...

Clearmuse17 days agoEnjoying this story, and haven't scene much of this genre here. Glad it's represented!
Can't wait to see what opens up from here.
Anonymousabout 1 month agoI really appreciate how elegantly you moved from Alena's perspective of Shalia, to Shalia's perspective of Alena. Well done! You have the skills of an attorney who may need to adroitly argue either perspective in a conflict.
It brought Shalia to life for me.
Knightofmind2 months agoThis story is really awesome! Slow but deep. The world building is excellent and the way you convey the danger and characterization make for great atmosphere and tension. Love it!
