"Kurva"
[That's really something. Those skills, and YES, the solar charger! I can use my phone. I can use my phone! Fucking AWESOME!!]
In fact, I haven't used my phone for a while, because I really didn't need to and till now didn't have any means of charging it.
"Ok, now the mystery boxes..."
The first box contained some tomes and books
about the world, magic and some interesting spells.
In the second one were candies, waffers, bottle of cola and chips.
[Yes, nice, but I don't like cola, its too sweet and disgusting. I'm just glad that these chips have at least some decent flavor]
The third box made was probably the best one. 20 Watt JBL reproducer.
That means... MUSIC.
The fourth was rather simple, a binocular. Quite decent to be said.
And the fifth one..... dramatic moment..... an HDD. HDD full of movies, music and porn.
[Dude, you just know how to make man happy, Yesss]
After the fight was I really exhausted, hungry, thirsty and needed to pee, BUT I was so fucking happy that I've got this stuff, especially the reproducer and porn.
Ok, not just the porn, music and movies are also nice, but the porn is just the best part. It's quite shame, that there wasn't any alcohol. Yes, I know, should be a little modest, shouldn't I?

Next morning
After quick breakfast, I got heavy on my thoughts.
[What should I do now? Yes, I'd like ti find civilization, however, how far is it?]
I realized, that thinking too much about this kind if things is contraproductive.
The best way to get rid of depression or bad mood is sex or work.
And Because I can't currently have the first, I decided to read some books I got. The language skill is really formidable, like I completely understand what is written here.
There were three books which have some value. History of Otac, How to understand Humans and Travel book of Teris Leza.
Otac was a name of the first state that even formed, that was about 10000 years ago. This state existed for about 500 years when it was destroyed by barbarians. But it was first attempt of civilization and gave the basis of administration and governance.
The book How to understand humans was made for non-human race like beastmen, demons and etc. It gave an insight to human culture, language, tradition and sexuality.
There are many human countries mostly kingdoms, empires or republics. Humans in this world aren't too different than earthians, according to the pictures in the book. Humans speaks mainly with two big languages, Alterian and Grivian.
There are of course many others languages and dialects, but these two are main and most humans could speak at least one of them.
Humans are mainly living on continent called Great Pexa, even though some primitive tribes were spotted on the Savage continent. About races, the black people are only living in the north parts of Savage continent.
"Asians" live in the Dragon Mountains and on the foot of these mountains.
Rest of continent is inhabited by whites.
Even though this world's humans aren't too religious, there are three major churches. Church of Dragon beliefs, that The Elder dragon once found this world and formed it to its will. Since then, he lives hidden in vast Dragon mountains, protecting this world from malevolent gods of outside.

On peninsula Alter reigns Church of Ter.
According to them, there were once a lone god, Ter, reigning over the wasteland world. He got so bored of this, that he committed suicide. His body shattered to countless pieces which created the mana elements and life.
Its being said, that only his mind remained there, watching his body, his creation.
And finally, there are those who worship The Seven. The Seven main gods, one for each element, one for each psychical affection. Those gods don't any have names. They are just named after their elements, Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Light, Darkness and The God of Life.
[Dammit, as expected from fantasy
There are really lot of diversity, and that is just for humans]
The book then told about communication, sociology and etc., but this is not so different from Earth.
[Wow, there is even a map there]
There was also a map on the last pages.
I spent half a hour looking at the map. This world is heck complex. There are five big continents, many empires, kingdoms, some belongs to humans, some to elves, dwarfs and even demons. Many mountains and rivers creates natural borders while plains naturally makes the best places for farming.
[I would just like know where da fuck I am]
"Your body was successfully adjusted to contain Mana"
"Whaat?....Mana?......FUCK YEAH!!!"
[Ok, let's try some skills. Just, its shame, that thing didn't give me some attack spell]
I picked some random stone, which was lying around.
[And now, how to cast?]
During that month I spent there, I somehow learned how to control the System by just thoughts, so I tried to do it that way.
[Scan]
"Stone
Type/Name: Feldsparical granite
Composition: Unknown, probably compositions made mainly of potassium feldspar"
[Wow, really nice. This is really something, could be really helpful]
So I tried it with some nearest leaf.
"Plant
Type/Name: Unknown
Composition: Unknown
Others: None"
[But this wasn't helpfull at all. I should probably study more about this world' nature. This reminds me. Status]

[Блин, I am really strong, Am I not? However, Hps and Sta doesn't climb accordingly to level, do they? If I remember correctly, at level 5 had I 180 Hp, now, at level 17 I've got 256. Damn, its weird to talk about your life when it's just a number. Or to be precise, it is really bad when is it a damned number. Those who played SAO haven't had it easy : )]
[Shapeshifting]
I cast shapeshifting on the stone. I wanted it ti form a blade. The stone somehow turned into liquid and then really formed into shape of a blade.
[Wow, that'z, fuckin, Coool!!]
The feeling of moving with the object is directly connected to my brain, so it feels like moving my own fingers.
The problem was..
*Crack*
When I tried the hardness of that blade, it crumbled like a piece of sand which was displayed to hot sun.
[Hm, the granitic stone isn't probably the best idea, because the bond between crystals are disrupted]
This gave me two ideas.
First. In liquid phase spin it around and create a monolitical substance which could be used like concrete.
Second. I could also turn those crystals into filaments, which would compose the whole thing.
Or. I could use both.
[But, why the fuck will I do something like this with a fucking stupid stone, when there could be many other material in this damned world
And yet, time to loot goblins, or, what remained from them]

Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.
