《Diary of Erica Kron》Day 39
Advertisement
I got an odd request from Mest today. He asked me to concentrate on feeding the tree with infant sprite growing inside. According to him, it should help the sprite develop faster. To humor him I did, and I definitely felt something in the tree. It was almost thankful.
I didn’t eat anything new today, but i made sure to savor everything.
During lunch i asked Mest about how i got sick earlier, since he seems to know a lot about the subject. According to him it is just something that happens sometimes, it is caused by mana inside me getting tangled up in a certain way or something. From what he was saying there was nothing abnormal with it. I also heard him mention how dedicated mages always get hit the worst.
I spied on Tiddol a little today when she thought i wasn’t looking. It wasn’t intentional, i just caught her watching Par training with a little more enthusiasm than i would have expected and decided to watch her for a little bit.
I also decided to watch Par train a bit, though i have no idea what was so mesmerizing. It did, however, remind me of how i managed to heal Par after he got beaten up a couple days ago. I tried to replicate the magic but i couldn’t figure out how to do it. So naturally i approached our resident magic guy, who i have no doubt is more than a little annoyed at all the questions I'm asking him today, and asked him about it.
I ended up getting a long-winded lecture about magic, almost all of which went way over my head. What i did understand is this; magic is just as much about understanding as it is desire. Basically, as long as you have enough mana, you can do anything so long as you either understand how to do it, have a strong desire to do it, or a combination of the two. As i understand very little about healing magic i can’t do it without something i really want to heal.

The rest of the day went as usually nothing new or overly exciting happened, though i did here that Tiddol and her party are staying for about a week before the return to the city to cash in their recent prizes.
So, for now at least, good night.

Cutting to Life: an NPC LitRPG (Battle Royale)
Nikola is an NPC in The World of Wills, a video game where players can feel sensations as if they were truly there. She leads a life of bloodshed and murder - that is, until one day she wakes up sapient. Just as she begins thinking real, non-scripted thoughts and making connections, she and the players in the game are told that if they die in the game, they die in real life - and it's time to get killing. But what of Nikola, the emerging AI consciousness? How does she win in a game that can only end in her being wiped from existence at the end of it all? - Updates Mondays and Fridays. Cutting to Life is a slow-burn LitRPG with a villainous (later anti-hero, or maybe still villainous, haha) female lead.It's told from the perspective of Nikola, an NPC within the World of Wills who's become sapient and is now mysteriously able to play the game as a PC. It's quite light for a LitRPG, but the system and stats become more of a focus later when Nikola herself can access them.The story gradually builds into a Battle Royale where the players' lives are on the line (if you die in the game, you die in real life), and only one party of savvy adventurers can win. They'll have to spend their time and stats wisely as dungeons promising rare gear float down from the sky - but is a legendary sword worth killing someone for, knowing they'll stay dead forever? - This story is told in third person, past tense.- This is a slow-burn LitRPG that spends a lot of time establishing its setting and characters, because I believe this will make for a better payoff in the end. As such, the Battle Royale doesn't start until chapter 30 or so.- Chapters are anywhere between 800 words and 3000 words long.- Book cover by Vixeona.Cutting to Life is also being posted on SPB and Scribble Hub.Thank you sincerely for reading.
