"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]

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
