Snake Report: Day Twenty-three
[Mana resistance: Rank XX]
[Passive Healing: Rank XIX]
[Voice of Gaia: Rank V]
I slept.
I really did, I slept and woke up, used magic and then went back to sleep.
Somehow... Somehow I'm alive.
Like someone with alcohol poisoning, too stubborn to go to the hospital. I basically puked up magical spells and rolled back over into slumber.
I also shed my skin, several times from the looks of it.
Insert joke about onions [here-] No. Stop that.
Still.
Outside of asking the [Voice of Gaia] nonsensical and open ended questions like "WHY?" over and over, I think I mostly used [Earth Molding]
Camp Big-foot is now a large human-sized bunker, complete with replica stone sofa, table, chairs, and book-shelf. At it's center, the shrine to the little-snake-god still sits.
The absurdity is noted. Half-awake molding magic is just that. I made whatever would make the pain subside while I spammed questions.
Somehow though, I think I've now reached some sort of middle ground.
I feel sick. I still feel pain.
But I think its less.
I'm going to attribute this to [Mana resistance: Rank XX]
Intense.
Slowly but surely, I am becoming immune. Like some ancient ninja that injects themselves with poison from a young age, the effects are lessening. First the Mushrooms, now the Magic Crystal... It seems I've taken the long and winding masochistic-route to survival.
The seemingly endless magic is also a benefit.
In a strange way, I think my magical reserve has increased.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
It's not just the overflow from the crystal that has long since dissolved and poisoned the ever-hissing shit out of me. Though it's still overflowing a bit, my magical reserve is easily twice what it was before, maybe even more. The more I used magic, the more of it I seem to get.
I guess it's like a muscle, only I've been working it out while using dangerous steroids.
It's not the only thing that has been adjusting though. I faintly remember other things popping up along the edge of my awareness.
"[Voice of Gaia]: Show me my abilities."
