《In Search of a Protagonist》06 - Progress
Advertisement
Drei finally succeeded in not passing out, she could handle 14 minutes of control AND manage to maintain the bare minimum level of control to keep consciousness, which I think is amazing. She was not the first one to succeed tho, Zwei was, but not by much. Zwei only prevailed today morning, and now both Drei and Einer joined in the achievement.
"Good, three awake, two to go. We are doing good, I don't think they are too far, maybe tomorrow they will join us." Join us in what exactly Adel? None of the children are good enough to do anything, they will probably just go to their room and sleep until next session.
"Well, I'll get to work and move these two into their rooms, you can go ahead and do whatever you want. I already told Zwei these, but keep away from my training room for now, you are NOT allowed there, understood?"
"Yes" even their voices are weak…
Adel got up first, grabbed Vier and Funf and threw them over each shoulder like it was nothing… she really is strong… I expected her to be strong given her sexy trained body, but I was not expecting she was so strong that she could just ignore the weight of those two.
They are children, sure, but they are not so small as to be ignorable. They actually grew up a little since birth, I would say they all went from the body of a 10 years old to 11, maybe 12. That's amazing giving that it's only been alive for 11 days… Some are growing taller faster, and they started to talk a little with each other.
Drei was actually the last to get up from the table, she is pretty tired. I'm too, I just want to sleep. Both body and mind are exhausted from the activity, even without the 'feeling like dying part'. She did nothing unexpected, she just got up and went to her room, lay down and sleep, as did I.
*
Oh beautiful morning, with this damn stupid window that does not allow me to see the outside world. Until now I could not see even a glimpse of the city in daylight, the only time we saw anything outside this house was the day we were born and walked here. From then on only training, passing out, training.
I said nothing happened during the last 9 days, but I actually had one discovery about myself and one achievement. I found out that even if I distanced myself and observed Drei on third person view, as not to actually feel her pain during the sessions, I still passed out after, after much thinking and few tests, my best theory is that the pain and experience was directly in her soul, not actually physical body, since it was about mana and stuff, and since I'm linked to her soul, I suffered as well even if I was not aware of it, but it is just a guess really.

And I'm now able to wake up by myself WITH Drei, and not suffer the terrible wake up call with shaking existence that I did in the beginning when she would wake up before me. Great right? One less painful experience in my day.
"Good morning Drei"
"Hi"
"Good morning to both of you... I can't believe you woke up first again Zwei, and today even Einer is up before me" Oh my… is dear Drei competitive? But I don't think you need to worry so much, you are doing good, girl!
It did not take long for the other two to wake up and join us, Zwei went to call Adell and we started yet another session without any delay or useless chit chat. The experience was different this time, from the beginning Drei had a good control over the mana, and the entire session was just a bliss. I could seriously get addicted to this, especially knowing that no death will come at the end.
That being said, the end was actually very good today, Drei was improving at an incredible rate. She didn't even get too tired to control the end process, Zwei was good too. Einer on the other hand was… in a terrible condition, awake yes, but incredibly tired and pale.
Funf or Vier failed this session again, they seemed relatively fine and awake when we opened our eyes, but only for 30 seconds or so, then they just passed out quietly, which is an improvement I guess? Did not seem to suffer too much…
"Oh, what a shame, I thought for sure those two would be able to succeed this session… but was a close call. I'll take them to their rooms, Einer, you go sleep too. Zwei and Drei wait here"
"Yes!" Oh good good... so much energy today!
Again Adel just got the two unconscious children like they were a potato sack or something, and went upstairs, Einer followed. Soon Adel was back.
"How are you two feeling?" Drei and Zwei looked at each other somehow confused… I guess this is the first time since we met that Adel actually asked something that needed a different response than "yes" or "not".
"I'm feeling good, not tired at all like the other times" Zwei was the first to answer, I think it is an unspoken rule for her to be the first since she was the best student so far.
"That's good, how about you Drei?"
"I'm a little tired, but not too much, I don't feel like I need to sleep right away"

"Yea, I don't think you need to either, from what I could feel both of you are already controlling the mana pretty well, Drei just needs a tiny bit more experience at the very end, if you can control the last few seconds as well as you do the entire process you will not feel tired, on the contrary, you will feel better… But you are kinda panicking at the last second, take care of that in the next session, just relax and keep in control"
"YES!" Drei said happily, it was the first real advice Adel gave her so… yes, I think you should be glad too, our relationship is improving after all!
"Since you are both ok and have energy to spare, let's go outside, follow me" OOOHHH finally!! Other things to see, outside world here we come!
I'm not the only one happy, Zwei and Drei are super happy to leave the house and.. I can't say for sure if it's the same for Zwei, but Drei is super happy that she will have something to do, she was worried that she would have to wait for ours just sitting on the couch looking at the ceiling until the next session. And well, I agree, it is quite boring to wait for the next session if you are not passed out sleeping in the bed. I wonder what Zwei did last time she needed to wait…
"Follow me you two" light came from the opened door, our eyes took a moment to adapt to the new source of light… and then… oh my…how fascinating!
I could see better once Drei stepped outside, and let me tell you something… this is an ideal example of an Elf city from fantasy books on Earth and several female Elfs walking everywhere, all super sexy and ALL woman. Let's repeat this because it's just too perfect, ALL FEMALE ELF VILLAGE! What a perfect harem this would be!
Don't judge me… I'm not a disgusting pervert guy and I'm not looking at them with sexual desire or anything impure as that... I'm just a spirit now and I'm quite sure I was a woman on Earth, mostly straight too. YET! My past or who/what I am/was has nothing to do with how perfect this place is for a harem, it does not limit me from finding another woman super sexy, and since there is no sexual desire attached, what I'm saying is just pure truth.
I had guessed it to be as such, but to actually see only women and not a single male here...is just too perfect. Any straight male here would go crazy, and an otaku would have a heart attack at first sight. So many Elfs… Efalems with very mature clothing of all colors and arrangements.
Most women here are with loose dresses but there are few with very tight leggings and tops. Some transparent, others not so much, most have loose long hair like Adel, others have braids and ponytails, few with short hair… So many hair and skin colors... is this a dream RPG land or something? The one thing they all have in common is that they are all barefooted.
Oh, there are few children too, it seems that they are as lost as we are, and accompanied by an adult like us. They are naked too… yes, we haven't received clothes, but I'm not sure it makes any difference… if you don't remember, let me warm up your memory for you. They have no genitalia, no anus, no belly button, no nipples… it is like they are wearing a full body suit the same color as their skin or that they are an RPG character with censored parts.. I don't know.
I was too focused on the ladys I forgot to pay attention to the actual place. It is also very impressive, not so much as an entire city of beautiful Efalem woman, but it is in its own way incredible.
All houses are made of wood, but.. It's like they are 'grown tree' houses… I think they grow out of Mother's roots and just form into living spaces. There are lots of roots that look like actual roots going in and out of the walls, and the streat.. And everywhere.
I was wondering before, why does our house have no tiles or nails, why the furniture does not move or stuff like that… but now I see… everything is part of Mother. We are basically living in a treehouse!

An Invisible Girl
Not all Isekai is Human This is the story of the last survivor of her race, who is offered the option to be reborn in another world to continue the fight against the monsters that consumed her species. The new world is a horrible death world. It is filled with both beauty and horror, strange sentients of various types and perhaps the most dangerous monsters ever conceived. Humans. Two aliens. two violently opposed cultures. Is One little world big enough for both of them? First note: Please don't expect immediate action and slaughter and sex. There's a lot of conversation, drama, and interaction, as she learns about her new world. Second note: This is not 'humans as monsters'. It is more like "There are monsters, but humans can make their own". Technically I guess it qualifies as a system apocalypse, but it never really hits the apocalypse parts. Third note: This IS a Litrpg and the 'classes' provide some superhero-style action, eventually. It isn't strictly superhero, though. a lot of bits are contemporary fantasy, some are pure sci-fi, and some are superhero, depending on how people choose their new abilities. The overall theme is technically sci-fi, but soft like a baby. Fourth note: there is some sexuality (not sex) involving a protagonist in a 17-year-old body. Her mind is over 50 years old, though, and the body was created at that age in order to give her 6 months' leeway to learn to be human. This is not juvenile sex stuff, as the character is fully adult, just not adult as a Human.Plus it's mostly included for humor and alien context.
