Chapter 62 – Paris Here We Come

After Lis and Mahya calmed down that I was okay and nothing had happened to me, I said to Mahya, "I need to finish opening your channels; want to do it now?"

"Are you sure? You're not tired?" Mahya asked.

"I'm fine and want to get it done."

"Okay."

We went to my (former) r...

Chapter 61 – The Danger is Not Always the Obvious Thing

After God knows how long, I woke up and went directly to the kitchen. I was starving and dehydrated. I ate standing up, directly from the fridge; I couldn’t even wait to heat the food. After twenty minutes of eating and drinking non-stop, I began to slow down and notice my surroundings. I heard...

Chapter 60 – Rescue

After our return to London, Lis continued tinkering with his transistor, and I set off towards the next Gate. It was near Boleigh, and as soon as I was about to cross the Gate, I felt a strong warning. I decided to give up on this Gate and check it later. It was interesting that the first time I ...

Chapter 59 – Mana Regeneration

When I returned home, Lis sat in the living room with a disassembled transistor on the table.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Trying to work out how to make this thing work with mana."

"Good luck."

The next day, I started traveling between butchers and buying meat. I would...

Chapter 58 – First UK Gate

In the morning, I went looking for a car to buy; I remembered promising Rue a fast car. I was a little worried about driving on the opposite side of the road, but figured I could always drive slower until I got used to it.

I met our neighbor, Miss Maggie, and asked, "Good morning, Miss Magg...

Chapter 57 – Knowledge Exchange

After Lis didn't react to the second batch of books I gave him, I gave up on the book intimidation game. However, I was determined to find a solution where we wouldn't be reliant on each other for books. Despite Lis being a faster learner, I refused to let that discourage me. I knew that my learn...

Chapter 56 – London

All this time, I thought Lis was nice, but I found out he had a mean streak the following day. When I got up, I saw a pile of twenty books on the table. Lis pointed at it, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Enjoy."

"It's not fair! All of the books I gave you are in English; each of these...

Chapter 55 – Back to Earth

I slept another night in the tent, and my mana was almost full by morning. I looked at my profile as my mana ticked up by three every second. I was missing less than a hundred points and was thrilled. Now, I didn’t need to sit and actively regenerate, and my channels took the maximum they could...

Chapter 54: I Think I’m Good at This

I walked back to the tent, humming my “new” ability points song:

“Buy buy my ability points
I gave my points to my boy, and now the well is dry.
And them good ability points make me drink Rye.
Singing this will be the day that they die. This will be the day that they d...
