Chapter 26: The First Affinity

Michael muttered “Shit, I hate having to make these kinds of decisions… Well, I can have a maximum of seven, so it isn’t too bad. Even if she doesn’t tell me all the specifics of every Element, I can pretty much guess what they’re like, based on pretty much any RPG I’ve ever played. It makes sense that Space and Time aren’t included, since all magic has spatial and temporal aspects: Sarah can teleport for fuck’s sake.” Continue reading

Chapter 19: An Immortal Walks Into a Bar

Michael muttered “It’s bad enough that I have to smell the fucking pigs, cows, chickens and horses… now I have to stay at ‘The Popcorn Motel.’ Ugh, well, whatever, it’s still better than sleeping on the dirt I guess. Ah, Inari, come here for a second.” as he reached down and gently caressed the vixen’s head, before sending her into Companion-slot one. Continue reading

Chapter 18: Crafting Is Important

Michael sighed, and then said “Well, if I meet someone who pisses me off enough, I’ll get to test out that theory… Otherwise, I’d rather not torture people or animals just to find out if it’s possible. Although, if I can take things apart…” Suddenly, the hunk of rabbit meat in his hand disappeared, and then he brought out a completely intact, white-furred bunny: aside from the missing head. Continue reading

Chapter 17: The MC Hates Walking

Michael walked over to the pile of Sarah’s equipment, and used ‘Scan’ on the various items, which revealed “Crude Leather Armor: Grants the wearer one Defense Rating. Made to fit a female Goblin. Poor Quality, no level requirement.” It was so low-end, that the entire suit could be placed in bag-slot eleven: If it had been Uncommon, then each piece would have required a separate spot. Continue reading

Chapter 15: You Are What You Eat

Michael snickered as he asked himself “I wonder if this counts as me giving her the mana-core? It would be interesting if she became my Companion, assuming that she survives, heh. Sure, she’s cute as a Goblin, but way too boring for my tastes. Hmmm, okay, stop talking and take the little red pill…” Continue reading

Chapter 11: Noob-Quest

It was still the middle of the day when Michael arrived at the outskirts of “Ariel’s Meadow.” Between himself and Inari, they were able to kill the white-rabbits surprisingly fast, and within an hour, the adorable fox finally ate the fourteenth level-one, rank-G mana-core. Continue reading

Chapter 10: It’s a Hardcore World

Forming bonds with animals, by feeding them mana-cores, was a fairly common practice. Typically, it would require a ‘Beast Tamer’ class first, and if the person’s companion died, they wouldn’t be able to sacrifice their own health to revive it. Continue reading

Chapter 9: A Cat-Eat-Fox World

Michael was irritated that none of his skills specified how much mana was required to cast, or to what degree they were affected by their dependent stats. However, since he was incredibly thirsty, he decided to test out ‘Telekinesis.’ Continue reading

Chapter 7: The Adorable Glass Cannon

Inari washed herself off in the shallow river, then casually shook her pure-white fur, sending the water flying in every direction. Afterwards, she lazily walked over to the left side of Michael’s head and laid down, almost immediately losing consciousness. Continue reading
