《Pocket Dungeon Lite》Chapter 5 - Almost Done…

I then created the focuses that are not on the continents/landmasses. I first went through my mental library for ideas regarding creating biomes outside of landmasses as I needed inspiration for things to create. I saw something that sounded extremely appropriate for my world and situation.
I first found the biggest open space in my world’s ocean outside of the area I set aside for my version of the Mariana Trench. My system showed an area below the ‘Eternal Seasonal Domain’ that is lacking in mana circulation which I will soon change. I started with, placing a pure crystal, dreamscape, and astral focus down. Then I combined that with a half storm and half dust focus. Which after I finished setting up the zones for I waited to see what the system would generate.
I zoomed in as my friends peered over my shoulder to see the clouds above the ocean gravitate together into a hurricane which then spread apart gaining area but maintaining its windspeed, rainstorm, and lightning power. This continued until the hurricane was already above a 5th Catagory like Katrina in wind speed at 250 mph and stopped at the size of hurricane Sandy the largest hurricane ever recorded at 1,000 miles in diameter.
The hurricane created, the system then applied the dust part of the focus by materializing then solidifying the dust into many islands of different sizes where then the crystal and astral focuses activated. To keep the islands floating and not getting eroded by the wind speed or any of the hurricane’s environmental disasters the system used the crystal focus to make the islands more gemstones than dirt or stone which makes it able to resist the hurricane.
The astral focus is then applied by combining it with dreamscape and creating a zone of illusion magic and giving an individual isolation layer for each island that allows for each island to be a different biosphere where my creatures can evolve without outside influence.

This done it is time for a name I discussed with my friends for a few minutes and we all agreed on the ‘World’s Astral Eye’ which is... fine.
I then went and made my deep ocean biomes at the areas I already marked out on the map. One is a Mariana Trench look-a-like while the other is a deep underwater cavern that is ginormous for what’s its purpose is. Where I put down 2 pure focuses one being darkness and the other being water which should mix well with the environment and each other. Next, I did the beaches and coasts such as around the ‘Yokai Island’ and the river splitting the main continent in two. I then put a pure but weakened chaotic focus that is set to only work for the coast around the island since I wanted to reference the radiation of the coast around real-life Japan. Finally, I added a pure balance focus on each of the river’s estuary where I hoped that it would keep the river water filled with powerful mana to flow out to the ocean since it would dilute all of the mana out of the water and fixing my issue.
I almost forgot but I finished off this step by creating my cursed zones. My ‘Bermuda Triangles’ if you will...that was a bad pun Set just punched me...Anyway, I spread the areas out and put three pure focuses of darkness, chaos, and water that is mixed together and then added to the middle of the area I wanted it to be in.
Finally, I set up a random generator for focus placement but these have been toned down which should give me some ‘normal’ biomes later and made my ozone layer self-sustainable by adding many obelisks around my world in certain locations that I later added a purre wind focus to. Thus keeping my ozone layer renewable and safe from sentient attack.

The Cosmic Interloper
Synopsis: A cyborg transhuman escapes her corporate indenture and through unfathomably unlikely circumstances, she ends up in a fantasy world of full of unique magic, angry people with sharp implements, and the whole flavor-spectrum of divine entities. Hilarity ensues. Features: - No blue boxes or cultivation, this is not a LitRPG nor about martial arts - Hard-ish Sci-Fi meets hard-ish magic - Generally trying to keep this "rational" Rationale: My primary goal with The Cosmic Interloper is to write something that I myself would enjoy reading. Of course, that’s not the only motivation, but I think it’s the most important one for me to keep in mind, especially as the author. In fact, this whole story came about because after consuming oodles of fiction, I found myself craving a very specific type of story which I couldn’t find many examples of. Then I asked myself, “why not write it myself?” and here we are. Disclaimer: In general, while I’m not writing a comedy, I do intend for this story to be funny and a bit wacky or absurd. That said though, I am using this story as a vehicle to explore some potentially dark topics including (but not limited to) slavery, speciesism/racism, and existential questions of self, consciousness, and identity. Still, I’m going to leave the “traumatizing content” tags off, because I don’t feel that what I’ve written so far (or plan on writing) exceeds the threshold that would be necessary for me to tag it thusly. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way she views the world is not the objective truth (if such a thing even exists).
