《Diary of Erica Kron》Day 193
Advertisement
Today Tiddol and I presented our creations to the people that are in charge of that stuff. They approved of most of them, but there were a couple that would just be useless outside of extreme edge cases and so would be a waste of time. The most noteworthy of these is the one that causes the user to be wrapped up in vines.
Tiddol got to work refining the alchemical solutions. I was constantly providing her the freshest and highest quality stuff I possibly could, to the point of using excess mana to make it even higher quality than it normally is. Using the best possible quality ingredients to refine the potions means she is making rapid progress. She started learning alchemy a little over a year ago, but thanks to her natural talent and me supplying her basically whatever ingredient she could need she has made rapid progress, even without a teacher.
I spent the day refining the plants I didn’t expect to need for this project, and I perfected the few that I hadn't already, with the exception of Spellwood. Spellwood is much more complicated than any of the others that I hadn’t yet perfected and would take at least three days to perfect, and it isn’t really necessary.
Tomorrow I will work on refining the gear that won’t take much to perfect, which is most of them. After I have something perfected it doesn’t take much mental effort to mass produce it, but it does take quite a bit of mana, so the opposite of what it takes to refine it. It makes it easy for me because it allows me to mass produce the ones I finish while refining others.
After I am done with the ones that won’t require much effort I have to work on the ones that will require quite a bit of effort, mostly the ones that use Portweed. Teleportation is seriously complicated, I know how to use plants well, I don’t know how to use teleportation well. I never would have been able to make Portweed on my own, or at least not without an amount of work I wouldn’t have been willing to put into it, or maybe some outside help.

Speaking of, I do have enough credits with the terminal to maybe buy a new plant, the question is which one? I know I could definitely make new plant using what I already have, but that is pretty boring compared to other things I could be doing instead, so I would rather just buy it. There was one plant that supposedly manipulates time, and I really wanted it, but it would take about a hundred years for me to actually afford it with how much I make from selling the method of creating Ents, plus that is something dungeons are able to do anyway after it gets old enough.
Maybe I should get something relating to water? Probably not fire as it wouldn’t take much effort to turn Blastbark into something related to fire, but maybe cold or ice? Maybe I could get one that is less general, not so much a concept it control but rather a specific thing it does. There are many of those, but which one to pick? I want all of them, but I only have the money for one, maybe two. I’ll think about it, maybe I will come to a decision by tomorrow?
Azrezel figured out a way to effectively double the mental power of his undead today, of course, the undead quickly dies for no currently known reason. Seriously, it’s like its soul just spontaneously decides to leave the body, I can’t find a good reason for it to die and nothing either of us has done has slowed it down. The good news is that the body is still suitable for necromancy after it dies from that, but the problem doesn’t go away.
Other than that not a lot of note happened today.
Anyway, Good Night Diary.

The Complete Alchemyst book 1
You've heard of superheroes, seen them flying across the sky, destroying great swaths of cities and ending countless innocent lives in order to defeat great evils and world-spanning threats and sell lots of sponsorships and merchandising opportunities. This is a story about the guy that is not those heroes. A supervillain in a world where making the right friends and political contacts is what separates the good guys from the bad. The Alchemyst is a story about a normal guy in a crazy world that spends his time trying to follow his dreams and conscience, working on new potions, thinking about girls, and lifting heavy shit, while trying to stay under the radar of the superheroes, supervillains, and governments that want what he can do. And occasionally turning them into makeshift melee weapons. If you enjoy The Boys, the Aberrant roleplaying game, Mystery Men, Trashy romances, Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, or SAW you may enjoy this book. Please note that this book has extremely graphic and sometimes gross fight scenes, heroes as villains, villains as heroes, opinionated and often politically incorrect characters, some graphic sex scenes, dad jokes, dirty jokes, realistic depictions of romance and flirting, bondage and dominance themes, and more than a few cuss words when they are really appropriate. This is NOT a superhero genre deconstruction. Many heroes truly are heroes, and they don't all need to be destroyed to make a good story, but it does look into the dark side of superpowers and the unreasonable and often contradictory demands placed on exceptional people.

Northwoods Trapper
In the wild places of our planet, dark vestiges of our paranormal past yet cling to twisted life. In the past, the hunters and trappers of the world were tasked with removing such blights from society's fringes - legal assassins, enlisted to enforce the will of civilization against those unnatural, otherworldly hosts. Nowadays, we're not so lucky. With the idea of proper monster-hunting fading from public perception, the once-prestigious mantle is donned by amateurs, hobbyists, and self-taught warriors. It pays poorly, it's dangerous, and people would rather do something that gets them rich or famous or drowning in attention. Most often, new-age monster hunters are born from tragedy. They lack the tact, training, and funding of hunters passed. Instead, they have only their wits and brawn to carry them through. So it is with our hero. In the woods of the American Midwest, foul creatures lurk. Tabitha Varna, a young college drop-out scarred by her past, is determined to uproot them or die trying. Sometimes she hopes for both.[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
