The shark was a reminder that danger existed everywhere. Despite its massive size, the magic beast was able to approach us silently at incredible speeds, meaning even though we were running out of time, we needed to slow down and mind our surroundings.

“Did you get a look at its level?” Tabitha makes light conversat...

Ch: 116.3

So much to explore, so little time.

We were against the clock, but the longer we were in the mana bubble, the more accustomed we became to the environment. I had managed to block out most of the ambient mana while Tabitha was growing used to moving on top of the grey bricks.

Descending the crater's walls grew much...

Ch: 8 Rewrite Ver2.0

"Let me sleep in," I groan, pulling my blanket over my head.

"Oh no, you don't," Mom's annoyed voice pierces my fabric shield. Through Sense Mana, I watch the outline of my mother, reach down and grab my blanket. I could try stopping her, but it would mean the destruction of my blanket. "It's time you get up," Mother fo...

Ch: 116.2

The ambient mana felt like it was crushing me and trying to push me back the way I came as I forced my way into the magic bubble.

"Take your time," Tabitha instructs me after I'm entirely in. However, it's not like I could do anything else at the moment. The mana pressure was so bad it was compressing Mana Skins' layers...

Ch: 116.1

I don’t know what it was, but staring up at the outer edges of the crater for the second time, they felt more intimidating to me, probably because I knew what lay on the other side of them.

It was hard not to question myself, but thankfully that’s what Tabitha was here for.

“You ready?” She turns and asks ...

Ch: 7 Rewrite

"Why did I have to suck at art in both my lifetimes?" I frown up at the ceiling.

I had successfully convinced Mom to buy me some paint from the merchant who visits our village every month to spruce up my room, only to waste it all essentially.

Was it so wrong of me to want to bring some color to my drab and dreary...

Ch: 115.5

I've never seen anything as magical as the lake before us. And I’ve seen a decent amount of magical stuff in the short time I’ve been alive on this world. However, the lake topped everything.

It was more magical than the massive trees we'd been walking through.

More breathtaking than the first time I set foot ...

A Quick Poll

A few people pointed out to me that with all the rewrites it's clogging up my Patreon page and making it harder to read the newest chapters in order.

I've yet to find a way to clean it up without deleting stuff, so here is the poll:

Option one: I leave everything as is.

Option two: I de...

Ch: 6 Rewrite

There was nothing like being chased.

As you try to outpace your pursuer, the adrenalin you get, the swerving in and out of buildings, all of it made me feel alive. I glance over my shoulder, hoping to get a glance at the person trying to chase me down, only to see poor Richard doubled over, panting up a storm. Skidding ...

Ch: 115.4

Sometimes I like to think the universe is out to get me. Not the gods as I have met them, and I know they care about little us, but the universe itself. I wasn’t so sure.

Not an hour ago, I complained to Tabitha that I was bored, and what does the universe do? It buries a building under my feet.

Ok, no harm, no ...

Ch: 5 Rewrite

It's been a whole year since I was reborn, but notice how I say year instead of twelve months. That was because time on this planet was measured differently than back on Earth. Not only were the months a few days longer, but a year was considered fifteen months instead of twelve.

I knew it had been exactly a year today ...

Ch: 115.3

It’s hard to keep myself from giggling like a child. I was like a kid in a candy store surrounded by delicious sweets and told I could pick whatever I wanted. Hundreds of beautiful blue feathers were scattered around me, and I got to pick which ones I wanted to take.

Sadly, this was a different situation than with the...

Silvia’s point of view:

I'm curious if all mothers worry about their parenting as often as I do.

The other wives and grannies in the village warned me that no two children were alike, but I didn't think the difference between my first and second would be like night and day.

I already had...

Ch: 3 Rewrite

Star Date: Unknown

Life on this uncharted world is fascinating; in the past six months I've lived here, many things have become clear. The planet appears to be populated by giant beasts standing on two legs, much like mine. They swarm to smaller animals that shriek in the night and clean up the mess they find; all be it...

Ch: 2 Rewrite

It's official; I'm going crazy, and it wasn't even because I died and was reborn. No, I was going crazy because I'd been lying here for two months and was incredibly bored with nothing to do but stare up.

Ok, breathe; I try to get ahold of emotions before I accidentally start crying. Again.

I wish I could say I ha...

Author’s Note:

Thanks for checking out my rewrite of chapter 1. More are to come but first I want to set expectations. There won't be any major changes to the story, as these rewrites are mostly because I went back and reread the first chapter I wrote years ago and almost paled at how many grammar mistakes there were....

Ch: 115.2

Which one was she going to pick?

While prepping the spot I was going to cook our celebratory lunch, I constantly steal glances at Tabitha as she inspected her kill. Yet, I said nothing as she carefully pulled out multiple feathers, only to discard them in order.

At the rate she was going, I would only need to gut ...

CH: 115.1

The mana around me was like a physical weight on my shoulders, constantly pushing me down and hampering my slightest movement. It almost felt like I was underwater, only the water was mana. Mana Skin did its best to insulate me from it, but there was just so much to contend with.

It was our thirteenth day in the Endless...

Ch: 114 Extra Pt2

Kervin’s Point of View:

The new walls of Spotted Creek Village shinned in the summer sun. Our group had returned a week earlier than usual, yet the wall had seemingly doubled in scale since then.

I’d never seen a village come together to this degree before, or any group of people outside a lar...

Master Pacore the Deathless’ Point of View:

“Where is General Pitz?” Olebert’s envoy angrily scowls at me from across the table.

Much to his displeasure, I ignore him and instead choose to take a swig of my homebrew. I only have to reach for the container for the envoy and his two guards t...

Ch: 114.5

The six mana signatures were moving swiftly toward our location, but as they drew nearer, they slowed down. They either knew we were here or sensed something was different about our location.

“They’re being cautious,” I inform Tabitha, wondering at what distance their skills could pick us up. Of course, if one of ...

Ch: 114.4

“AAAAAAHHHHHHH!” I scream, slamming my hammer down in frustration, causing a large plume of dirt to erupt around me.

Through the dust, I watch a beetle trip over its legs as it rushes to get away from me. I couldn’t hold back my emotions and was constantly leaking killing intent.

The first beetle was a learn...

Ch: 114.3

Silently, Tabitha and I creep closer to our destination. Just because I could vaguely sense what was ahead of us and knew there weren’t any strong magic beasts ahead didn't mean we would recklessly charge forward.

Both of us were still recovering, and while Tabitha was dangerous in any condition as long as she was on ...

Ch: 114.2

I was awake, yet I refused to open my eyes. All I wanted to do, was slip back into blissful sleep, but my mind was not having it.

Slowly, I open a single eye and am confronted by the soft light of the Endless Forest. I immediately shut it and groan as I use my arm to shield my face.

My body felt better than it did...

Ch: 114.1

I can’t describe the joy I feel, seeing the first rays of sunlight puncturing through the forest’s canopy.

It had been a long sleepless night left alone in the dark. Thankfully, what Tabitha told me about hostile magic beasts avoiding where an elemental has been turned out to be true.

I went the night without ...

Ch: 113.12

It took me longer than I liked to admit to climb down the massive tree I was in. And it took me even longer to drag myself over to the crater's edge, where Tabitha was sprawled out on the ground.

The ground was soft from all the upturned earth, and I was without the mana to keep myself from sinking into it. With the wei...

Ch: 113.11

Acting was working overtime at the moment. It had been years since I needed to use it in any significant capacity, and now that it was the only thing keeping me from certain death, I was kicking myself for not training it further.

My skill helped me project an air of confidence when I had none by reminding me to keep my...

Aaliyah’s Point of View:

Damn, Tabitha was going all out…. was what I wanted to say if the noises below me were anything to go off of.

With all the goblins recklessly charging me from all angles, I had little time to look down. But it sounded like a war was going on down there, and here I wa...

Ch: 113.9

Tabitha’s Point of View:

Raising my shield in front of my face, I block the halberd-wielding hob from stabbing me in the chest. At the same time, I use my sword to parry a strike from my right.

A second hob with a curved longsword was trying to catch me off guard during my scuffle with the hal...
