Snake Report: Day Twelve
I bought all of them.
Maybe that was foolish.
Still, I'm trying not to have too many regrets in the choices I make, so I'm doing my best to avoid serious worry over the decision.
Even if I mess up, I'm sure the god of Tiny-snakes will forgive me.
Purchases came out to be a bit more interesting than I expected.
[Water element] Unlocked [Water manipulation I] [Knowledge element] Unlocked [Voice of Gaia] [Divine element] Unlocked... Nothing. Maybe I should have figured as much. It was free, after all.
[Water Manipulation I] was just about what it sounded like. A spell to move water around, and make it do things. In the Tiny-snake-temporary-lair this isn't a particularly useful magic. There's no water here, so it'll have to wait.
[Voice of Gaia I] is a completely different story.
I take everything back about the 100 points being a trap.
It's not a trap. It's wonderful. It's the long awaited Question and Answer session of my dreams.
Hissss...
Sort of.
It's close though.
Close enough.
"[Voice of Gaia]: Show me my abilities."
[TITLE: DIVINE BEAST, LEVIATHAN]
[BRANCH: Magic essence]
[UNIQUE TRAITS:]
[Toxic] [Omnivore] [Affinity of Flame] [Legendary]
[RESISTANCES]
[Poison resistance: Rank IX] [Fire resistance: Rank II] - Affinity*
[Skills]
[Healing:] [Passive Healing II] [Basic Heal II] [Flame element] - Affinity* [Leviathan breath I] [Fireball II] [Earth element] [Earth Manipulation II] [Water element] [Water Manipulation I] [Knowledge element] [Voice of Gaia I] [Divine element] [None]
Hissssss...
Now how about that?
I feel a bit of a drain, but it all shows up, I can look at it. I can see these things without leveling up. One better, I can ask questions.
"[Voice of Gaia] what is [Unique Trait: Toxic]?"
"Toxic: Toxic flesh. Deadly to consume."

Hisssss. Finally, answers.
Short answers.
Brief and not very detailed, but answers.
The sensation of draining happened again; substantial this time.
"[Voice of Gaia] what is [Title: Leviathan]?"
"Leviathan: A beast of power. Known to lurk in the deepest depths of Monster Dungeons."
Oh. Monster Dungeon. The RPG vibe wasn't far off the mark after all. I'm starting to make sense of this, at least a bit.
"[Voice of Gaia] what is [Title: Divine Beast]?"
"Divine Beast: A ____ ____ ____ __"
Oh.
I'm out of magic.
I can't move.
Shit.

World Wonderer
Mari was happily whisking up some butterscotch slice when our story suddenly whisks her into another world. You'd think it'd be the beginning of another classic Isekai adventure, but it soon becomes clear that things won't be so easy...Her nerdy-teenage-genius summoner has trapped her in his room, no one speaks English, and Mari's gut is NOT prepared for a whole new world of bacteria. Can Mari overcome the travel diarrhea, learn a whole new language and escape before she develops Stockholm syndrome? Most of all, can she learn to flourish in a world so different, yet so similar to her own? ****** Author note: This story is written in response to all the unrealistic, plot-armour Isekais out there. I believe that adventures are more fun when there are unexpected surprises and challenges to be had. That said, this is my virgin voyage into writing an ongoing fiction, so please take care of me @[email protected] Constructive critisms, suggestions and typos in the comments would be most appreciated! Respectfully, Mhm

Elizabeth, Elizabeth
An astroid miner encounters pirates attempting to commandeer his processing ship, Elizabeth, while he was away responding to other miner's mayday. The miner (Jeffrey Sokolov) and his Artificial Intelligence (Elizabeth - both the ship and AI were named after Jeffrey's late wife,) outsmart the pirates, capture them and bring them back to the Earth/Moon station - where they attempt to turn them over to the Naval ship, Wanigan. However Wanigan is in the process of mutiny. The executive officer of Wanigan sends a small squad of Marines under command of a petty officer. The petty officer realizes an opportunity, convinces Sokolov to join her cause, and together with the AI (Elizabeth) re-take the Navy ship, and restore her captain to command. In order to perform these acts, Sokolov and the ship Elizabeth are drafted into Navy Reserve. The captain of the Navy ship Wanigan re-recruits Jeffrey to act in a secret capacity, he is given an almost unlimited credit, the squad of Marines that came aboard to arrest Jeffrey, and the petty officer.

Aliens from several surrounding regions have found Earth and the solar system to be a rich source of mineral wealth. They secretly tried to manipulate humans to doing their will, and Jeffrey discovered that they were the organizers and force behind the piracy. Jeffrey and the navy take on the new menace, but new tools, including faster-than-light travel become available. Jeffrey and Elizabeth improve on the Navy's technical innovations, incorporate alien technology into their ship, and continue to dominate the region infested with aliens with somewhat superior and somewhat inferior technology. This is the saga of a technically sophisticated man, his smart and loyal artificial intelligence, and the people he surrounds himself with.
