Chapter 4
Right now, I’m enveloped in a soft sensation. It’s also wet and slimy. Actually I really feel gross.
To make matters worse, I can’t see a thing.
I didn’t die right?... right?!
“It sseemss I’ve been ssaved.”
I hear a voice. It has a pretty bad lisp.
Suddenly the world is moving! It’s shaking back and forth. An earthquake perhaps?
Something grabs me and I’m pulled with a *plop* noise.
Ah, the sun, so bright.
“Sso thiss iss my ssavior.”
I’m in the hand of a- Geh! It’s a snake thing!
It’s a type of Naga. It has a snake-like body and head, but has forearms and hands similar to a human.
A sentient snake man. It doesn’t eat pebbles does it?
“Ohhh, thiss sstone appearss to be able to sstore magic!”
How can he tell?!
Likely due to a skill.
Oh right. I can’t keep using common sense in this world huh?
“I wonder how much magic it can hold?”
The lizard’s hand starts to glow. I wonder what he is doing?
My body is starting to feel hot. It’s like sitting in a sauna.
“Interessting…”
Okay, now it’s getting uncomfortable. I wonder if he will stop soon. Please stop soon.
If this continues on, I estimate that the magic inside of you will grow too much.
That sounds bad.
You might disintegrate.
It is bad!!!
But the stupid lizard isn’t stopping! Stop! I might die!
You could put points into Mnd from your level up. It would increase the amount of magic you can have.
Nice idea! Then let’s do that. I put all my points into Mnd.
No… I didn’t mean all of them…
Really? M-maybe I messed up, but on the flip side I feel a lot better right now.
The magic that was almost too much to handle, feels really refreshing. Like sitting in a massage chair after a full workout.

“W-what jusst happened? Thiss sstone jusst… Incredible… With thiss my revenge might no longer be a dream.”
… I just heard some extremely dangerous words. But it’s not like I can stop him right?
As if to prove the point I was stuffed into a leather pouch on this guy’s waist. Or stomach? Meh, doesn’t really matter.
It seems you got your wish to have a more exciting life.
Hmm. That’s true I guess. But I was hoping for a more… normal excitement?
It’s not good to be picky. How about using your skill points to learn a skill?
Oh right!
Here are the skills you can learn at your current level.
[Magic Absorption (lesser)]: 5sp
[Magic Expulsion (lesser)]: 5sp
[Magic Armor (apprentice)]: 3sp
[Detect Magic (lesser)]: 2sp
[Resist Magic (lesser)]: 3sp
Oooo… Why is it all magic related?
It’s because you dumped all your points into Mnd. Look at your status.
I wonder how I am doing?

Titles
[One Who Seduces Women] [One Who Seduces Men] [One Who is Unfortunate] [One Who Went Out With a Bang]
… My magic is really high…
Then to prevent this from happening again let’s take [Resist Magic (lesser)].
Skill acquired! [Resist Magic (lesser)] has been added to the skill list.
Would you like to upgrade the skill to [Resist Magic (minor)] for double its cost?
This can be done at anytime should you refuse.
So for six skill points I can upgrade it? I have enough… oh sure what the heck.

Skill has been upgraded! Acquired [Resist Magic (minor)].
Title acquired! Due to your achievements, you have gained the title of [One Who Seeks Magic].
I seem to have gotten a title too?
[Resist Magic] skill adds to your Mnd stat. Due to having over 1,000 magic power you have gained a title.
…All according to plan… teehee. So what does the title do?
[One Who Seeks Magic] The owner of this title is slowly becoming one with magic. A small percentage of magic obtained, either through natural recovery or by absorption, is converted into health. Natural magic regeneration is also increased by a small amount.
Finally. I finally have a skill and title that aren’t worthless! If I could I would be shedding tears of joy.
Requirements met to evolve. Do you accept? This process is irreversible.
Even more things?! And to evolve nonetheless. Is this kind of thing normal?
Only non-humanoid creatures tend to evolve, though there are exceptions. It is generally a good thing.
Alright, I’ll trust you Advice. I accept.
Let’s evolve!

Alviona (undergoing Rewrite).
This fiction is going to undergo severe Editing and a Rewrite over next few months. Here is what it hopes to accomplish: 1) Fix the glaring issues from Style in every chapter 1-31 (Dialogues, POV switches and Head-hopping too much) 2) Add some new chapters in and justify the development between Sofia and Anita 3) Remove the info dumps and make it more organic 4) Finalize the genres that this fiction belongs to 5) Create warning in the synopsis relating to the contents of the fiction. 6) Overhaul and show what Mira's view on Alviona is (slowly) 7) Introduce new characters 8) Show chapters the way they were intended, as clues apparently were not visible at all! 9) Make Alviona a bit more serious. 10) Make me (Author) enjoy reading my own work more (yes! :)) Hi. I have been gone for quite a long while. With heart surgery and such that has happened two months ago, I had not had a chance to log on RR due to being hospitalized. I had some other issues that the admins were kind enough to deal with on this fiction. It's good to see everything in one piece. The synopsis has been removed. Chapter 1 should be coming out sometimes before christmas. A lot has changed. I hope for the better. Instead of edits, I have re-read every single chapter and found it to be unsatisfying. A lot did not make sense and unless you have previously speculated what Alviona is, many things she does won't fall into pieces. Well then, time to address all of this. Ladies and gentlelmen, this fiction is undergoing a full scale re-write. While the characters and developments stay the same, it's being done differently. So much that the world should feel darker as it should have been. For those who have stuck around and know the story: Awesome. I worked hard on this, and hope that you will like my re-write. For thos that are new: Welcome. Give me some time, as I am super sluggish. I don't know much time is some time, but I gurantee chapter 1 will be up before Christmas. This said, again, thank you and know that I am back. And that this fiction will be completed. AT ANY COST. I will update synopsis after I post chapter 1. I might post Alviona (revised, as this current one is far too.... simplified, watered down, and dissapointing version of it) seperately. Those that want this, here. But I don't want to add chapter 40. It won't make sense without the backup and world-building of re-write. It will piss myself off. Now then, let's write hm? *This beautiful piece of art is provided by Charee from DeviantArt* https://www.deviantart.com/chalii

Polaris Dark
This is not the most expensive nor the first VRMMORPG of the third decade in the twenty-first century. [The Millennium Ascedency], otherwise known simply known as ""Ascendency"" to the public, became the number one game in the Japanese gaming community within three months. Soon after, the world joins in on the action, bringing it to the spotlight in the entertainment sector and is the reigning champion of popularity two years after the launch. Both men and women are into this game, both casual and professional players can be found... So what will happen when a curious young girl encounters this game without the intention to play? Will she become another gamer that is lost in the masses or will she prove to be someone that changes the VR world forever? [This is rated 18+ for blood, gore, suggestive content, sexual violence, coarse language and other mature content not intended for a younger audience. Please don't ignore this warning and then complain that you are offended by the content, it just doesn't work that way.] [All scenes that contains explicit sexual content will be placed into spoilers as a precautionary measure.] [Unfortunately, there have been too many Virtual Reality Stories as well as those that have elements of gaming. At this point, my wish for something more unique has pretty much gone down the drain. I will have to put this on story on an indefinite hiatus until the popularity of the Virtual Reality Stories has gone down or else this story may get fully dropped. I sincerely apologize for those who liked the story and wish for it to continue.] >>> I am currently working on a new story that is of another genre. It is at the planning stage right now so it is not an official announcment for a new story.

This is my first time writing anything like this, so I appreciate any and all constructive feedback that helps me improve. I started this project because I was bored of waiting for other stories to release chapters, and I will try my best to be consistent.I will update once a week at minimum, more if I feel like writing a lot :PCover Birb (aka Chummy) credit goes to: SpectralapparitionAs for the tags, mature because of steamy bird sex (jk) and some violence. Reincarnation occurs in this story, but doesn't play a large role, it's really only for setting.Thanks!
