Today we will speak with the Guardian. I prepared my flute in case the Guardian would let me play for her and sat at the dining room table.
Mom is cooking breakfast, domr meat, like always, with some fruit slices and this time cold root. The roots are bulbous at the start but branches down several carrot-like tendrils. The excess ice mana blends well with its sweet taste. Like eating a veggie ice cream.
I start going over what I want to ask the guardian in my head. First I need to...

"Aly, What kind of craft do you want to pursue?" Mom asked.
It was morning. We are eating breakfast, a hot pot of Domr meat, milk, and fruit slices.
"We are going to open our own business." Dad supplemented "While Feyan supports us as a nurturer she also makes jewelry and sells it to merchants. Me specializing in gem cutting and metalworking we complement each other. You don't have to pick something that compliments us but as a Runalymo you need to pick at least one."
"It do...

It’s been a year since the rebellion and the battle with the Kodoku cannibals. While the rebel Champion is still out there somewhere, the rest of the traitors have been killed or captured. These despicable people are now down in the palace’s prison for punishment.
The prison is a cold and miserable place only meant for the worst of human criminals and is separated into two sections. The first is a place where the crimes are irredeemable, but their humanity is not questioned. Simple ...

I did it! I got to level one hundred in my bond! I was excited. There was now so much to take in! Let's take it one step at a time.
Previously I only got one level for my new skill. Does that mean this skill is somehow better? What is this skill capable of? But let's forget that for now, I have to see what evolutions I got! I've been waiting for this moment for a year and ever since my other evolutions got corrupted I've been waiting to see what level one hundred Bond brings!

I felt mom's heavily gravid belly. It has several months now, almost a year. Mom's been pregnant for longer than I would originally thought she would be. The gestation period may be longer for the Runalymo.
I can clearly see the mana of the twins now. Even at an early stage, their bond has been developed, Both seem to have a water bond.
I am almost six years old now. My training at the mages dojo has increased my bond level by thirty-one It is now at ninety-nine. Much faster than ...

I did it! I capped my Sense Mana! Now Just need to level up my bond!
But the next thing that happened shocked me. Mana began condensing into my eyes wraps! The mana began changing, transforming into a unique form of mana. So much mana poured into my eyes wraps that it looked like a shining light to me. Then the unique mana of the eye wraps seeped into me as my Kyhosa did. It's how the magic item empowers its wearer.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I didn't get a notification of a...

The sun is shining in through the open window, I'm in my bed. A blanket is draped over me
How did I get here? Wait, that's no window!
There was a large hole in the ceiling. I got out of bed, stumbled on wobbly legs and reached for the door only to fall. I felt so weak. With a few tested movements, my strength slowly returned, like my body wasn't used to moving so suddenly.
It's not like I was in a coma for months. My Sense Mana aura extends out far enough that I can...

The storm arrived with an announcement of lightning and thunder. Gusts of wind rocked the shelter and the earth trembled. The air froze then became swelteringly hot. Rain pounded on the roof and mists formed inside.
With me at the center and barriers and magic shields being cast color exploded around me. So much mana, raging with many tempests of mana battling other elemental many bouncing off their opposites and empowering with their similars. Mana fused further creating chaos in the s...

This was bad, If there is a complete lack of mana here I'd probably get a breakthrough for sensing mana in a mana-starved area. In any other case I'd want to get it, but not now, not when it'll stop me from capping my skill. Which is putting me in a tough position.
"Momara, There's a storm approaching. A really, really bad one." I honestly don't know what to expect. Will all the mana have fused? Will only some? Will it be a violent maelstrom where the attractive and repulsive are in a c...

On the way back to the village I noticed a distinct lack of earth mana and nature mana. It appears spring has arrived in some major forest or something.

Well, She would be able to help me level my bond a lot faster and teach me more about classes.
"Err, I'll have to ask my Momara about it." I'm not sure if I want to dedicate myself to fighting or competition. I'm not sure what I want to do. Music? Crafting? I've been so focused on my skill I never gave it any thought.

Brandon marches down the street, his heavy armored footsteps announcing his presence, his cape fluttering behind him, accentuating his command. He doesn't need it; he can increase his Bond's presence, but the Emperor treats the citizens delicately, and as his Oathbound, he must do so too.
The crowds parting for him, revealing immaculate stone roads kept clean even in the busiest of days. He walks through the market made with stone and excellent workmanship, the light grey stone accentua...

It's been a couple of weeks now and the village has been restored. But a violent air element storm had blown away several buildings and injured four people. Someone had even been knocked into a coma for a few days when a piece of lumber hit her in the head.
The storms have been getting more intense and the weather getting increasingly chaotic.
Didn't really want to do it now but it's dumb not to, plus I already am noticing a surge of a specific type of element before its storm...

We looked at the scorched wood and collapsed buildings. The devastated village around us.
"Look at this, children," Elder Yukika said gesturing to the destruction around. After yesterday the two living Elders had a meeting with the parents and they all agreed to give us all a lesson, even the kids who didn't learn how to use their bonds. Mom and dad came home late and I am sure they had a lot of explaining to do.
"This is what can happen if you use your powers carelessly. Think of...

The next day was spent trying to recover anything salvageable. After that people had to remove any damaged structures and walkways, everything damaged had to be replaced.
About thirty-seven percent of the village was burnt, the fires so intense from the fire storm almost everything burnt was at risk of collapsing if it hadn't already. Many spots have already done so, the spots that once supported housing are now holes with floating bits of char soaking in the waters below.
As the ...

Ting! Mana Toxicity has obtained level 18!
My mana, with some effort, pushed against the Guardian's, still not able to leak out even tiny drops of my mana, slowly poisoning my body. I had long since figured out that, no, you can't go over your mana capacity, if you do it instead damages your body.
The more mana you produce the more you can push against higher mana density but at the same time, you gain mana toxicity faster. I can feel my blood pressure rising in t...

It's been five years now. A lot has happened but at the same time not much. I gained new breakthroughs in Sense Mana. Met with the Guardian dragon a few more times, actually, I apparently have a meeting with her again soon. Gained a breakthrough in charm. Trained a lot with my bond and figured out a lot. Very carefully experimented and trained with Astral Projection And gained new race evolutions on my fifth birthday.
I think I've figured out how leveling skills work. It's not as simple...

Today is the day I figure out what the bond is! I declare to myself.
It's been a few days since my breakthrough with Astral Projection. I've grown a little bored of the practice and not really getting anywhere. So now I will practice something else!
So, where to start? First, what is a bond? Translating to Runalymo it reads as.
Ysrumo – Ly
Ys means a connection or bond of some sort. Could be family, could be friendship. Ru means mana. And Mo...

It's about been a year I've greatly expanded my vocabulary and can now speak in a few full sentences. I've also learned how to walk and run, though my parents still worry over me. They still think I'm blind. Can't they see that I can navigate my way through the house?
[Sense Mana] has been leveling slower and slower. I guess I get diminishing returns on exp when seeing things. I enjoyed a good boost at the start probably because of the high mana density. But now I am used to it and it s...

It's been several months now and I think I have a good handle on this language. It was kind of frustrating to learn by what rules if any it was operating on but then I figured out each syllable had its own meaning. For Example, The word for greeting that I learned so long ago, Laeso. La means to greet, or to introduce, not a direct translation but that's the closest meaning. Es Translates to time, and O means Light, any form of light. So this means Laeso translates to greeting at day, and the...

Chozu woke up to a smiling Myrou. The hand-tall featureless clothed figure watching over her dreams. It had been her latest devotion project to Myrou. The projection of Myrou over the statue proves her skill as a master clay sculpture. Being able to make a statue in which a fragment of Myrou inhabits is the sign of a master in one's craft, although it's not always a statue. Devoting a song to Myrou that can invoke her presence has been done, though it's significantly harder.
It is blasp...

It's been a week and Alysara has not once opened her eyes, ever since she had that nightmare. A part of me wonders if it really was a nightmare, however. Feyan never heard her scream in such pain before. There had been no traces of magic being used. The healer had tried to look at her eyes but the moment her eyes had been forced open she started screaming in pain again. Nothing was found in her eyes to cause the pain.
Alysara has been restless and making cute groaning sounds. Feyan stro...

Sleeping for the better part of yesterday has me wide awake in the middle of the night. Welp— other than starting at the ceiling or waking my parents up, there’s nothing better to do, so I meditate, focusing on my soul until I reach the wall again. Maybe it’s blocking me from truly accessing my memories? In that case, maybe I should tear it down. I push against the wall, trying to topple it. I ram against it but only succeed in giving myself a minor headache—not doing that again. I po...

I guess that explains the lack of men. Honestly, the clues were adding up, but I was just going off of a bias that men didn’t have breasts, but the fact that just about half of the people are taller, the fact that the skill “Nutritional Milk” is a race thing, and the multiple couples of short and tall women around really should have clued me in on this.
In fact, now that I’m looking more closely, there are subtle differences between males and females other than the large height ...

The next day I wake up as the white-haired woman leaves saying something to Mom. I can't see what's going on as they are behind a curtain, but as soon as she leaves the hut, Mom walks in, her long royal blue hair fluttering behind her. She smiles upon seeing me, her blue eyes softening. Dangit! I was hoping to get some meditation in and hopefully figure something out; I want to sense mana if that's at all possible. Mom nurses me before taking me out again.

Stars twinkle around me like a cloud of tiny shining jewels. They appear and disappear, growing dim and eventually winking out of existence only for new stars to appear elsewhere. They are a dark red in color but, looking around, I see a small collection of them with a faint grey tinge. This greyness seems to be contagious, slowly spreading to nearby stars.
I continue watching the stars in fascination; they become redder in color with each generation. The grey moves from star to star, s...
