《DIVE》Dive 60: Meditation and Task Mastery

Short summary of the last chapter:
Spoiler :
Voice created a field of healing power by altering some of his plants. He created an enchanted item, and dissected and Elf. He also obtained two spider eggs from Davros for the elf’s skin and bones. Kretchof started what would become a factory to pump out more spiders.
Also, let me know if anything is wrong with the chapter! Be sure to comment!
Kretchof’s POV:
The necromancer came back carrying the limp bodies of several monstrous bugs over the past week. There were a total of twenty types of bugs, and only one of which died out from not having a mate. The rest have been flourishing on the moss that covers the dead fish bodies.
Monstrous rodents have proven harder for her to obtain. She was only able to get one. Since it cannot mate by itself, I allow it to gorge on the fish for that moment. I have sent several skeletons to aid her in capturing other rodents for my Master’s dungeon.
I pumped the required mana into the eggs after only the fifth day. They have been catching and eating the insects for the past two days. They have grown to adulthood already. They have mated, but the brood has not hatched. The male and female are quite different from one another.
The male is three feet long and two feet tall, and has a red marking on its back. It is capable of creating a venom to inject its prey with. It is agile and quick. It is does not appear to be sturdy though. It created three webs which were each located in different areas. It ran between its three webs constantly, to see if any food was attracted. Anytime it didn’t get food within four hours, it would hunt something.
Half of the food it got was always given to the female. The female was six feet tall, and fourteen feet long. She had several purple markings along her body. Her body seemed to be made of a hardened shell of some sort. Whenever she received enough food, she would pump out a small amount of eggs. None of them were queens though.
I had only a small amount of control over the spiders, but I could direct the male spider to take the eggs that spawned to a separate room. I made sure the eggs hatched slowly, so that they didn’t overeat. The amount of food the male gathered was staggering. I knew I had to find a way to increase that amount of insects that lived in the dungeon, or I couldn’t allow any more of the eggs to hatch.
If there were two males, the amount of insects consumed would be higher than the amount of eggs laid by the insects. If I encouraged the insects to mate more, then the moss would dry up before long. The missing link in the food chain was the time it took for the moss to cover the fish. If I could figure a way to increase that, then I’d be able to increase the overall power of Master’s dungeon.
I was already enacting a plan that allowed for a large amount of moss to grow, but it wasn’t working out the exact way I’d hoped. Master doesn’t tolerate failure. I had put a huge pile of fish in a large room I had excavated, and placed a bit of the moss in there.
It quickly covered the entire area, but as soon as the skeletons went to transport the new food, insects swarmed in. They consumed all of the moss in the room, leaving only decaying fish. After that I had to make a room that would protect from the bugs. Since they were monsters, and thus possessed by demons, they were more intelligent then their animalistic counterparts.

It wasn’t much, but the slight bit of extra intelligence allowed them to think up semi thought-out plans. They swarmed through any cracks or openings as soon as they were made. I had to have my moles create two rooms connected by a long hallway. The first room was more of a gate that barred entrance to the second room.
The second room held a massive amount of fish and moss. That moss was transported by my skeletons, and fed to the insects that would become food for Master’s spiders. The system worked well, but still lacked the speed with which I knew master would want. I decided to keep tabs on the spiders to learn about their habits, so that I might better take care of Master’s spiders.
I had my skeletons collect the spider webs that the male spider made. Each time one was collected, he horded food for himself and created new ones. That at least gave us some information about the life of the male Dark-Kin spiders.
I relayed that information to Master. He didn’t seem to pay much attention to it. I should have known better to come to Master without complete results. I made the decision to give a message to Master only when I had better results.
The next day, the necromancer girl finally found a mate for the monster rat that she brought in. They were not the same species, but they were close enough that I tired making them mate. The result was, to say the least, odd.
One of the monstrous rodents was basically an oversized rat. The biggest difference was the slightly barbed tail. The other was akin to a porcupine. The offspring was an aggressive version of a barbed tailed porcupine. After letting the porcupine monster and barbed tailed rat monster breed for a few days, I started hatching more spiders. I pushed mana into about a dozen more spiders.
After the spiders hatched, they ate ravenously. Most of the insect population was quickly decimated. The fish that grew the moss was also eaten at a rate quicker than Master would have liked. The entire situation was going to go down quickly. I brought in many of the dead fish bodies for the rodents to eat, and gave the suggestion for the spiders to focus on eating the overgrown vermin.
The offspring rodents were about half of the size of the male spiders, so they would be able to sate their appetites for a while. The large amount of fish encouraged more breeding from the rodents, and the decreased insect population increased the amount of available moss. The moss seemed to grow faster the more that there was.
The spiders’ webs were harvested quickly. Over the course of the next week I obtained seventy yards of the silk webbing for Master to use. I know the exact amount because I had the necromancer girl capture a young silk weave. After she was knocked out I had the necromancer bring her to a room I had created. I had her make the silk usable, and spin it into thread, for about three days. She did some process I didn’t understand. I had all of the required material found for her. She said something about throwing the silk, but I didn’t pay attention. She had to wash the silk threads several times. She didn’t know where the silk came from, but would know that Master’s dungeon could acquire this silk.
I had to summon the twelve tier one darkness fairies I had in reserve. Tier one darkness fairies have all of the capabilities of a regular human, or whatever their race was before death. They watched her sew for those three days. After that I had the necromancer girl free the young seamstress. Master had worked hard to trick the goddess of light into making him her top follower, I would not mess that up.

The twelve tier one darkness fairies began to replicate her actions at my command. They picked out bits of bugs and dust, entwined the silk, and spun it on large stone spools. I had no mana while the twelve were summoned, but it was worth it to make Master’s wish come true. He wanted to make money off of this venture, I aimed to succeed.
The silk woven by the fairies was, at first, much worse than the girl’s was. After three more days of spinning and weaving, they began to get better at it. They still weren’t at the level of the girl, but by training in the arts of silk making, they would eventually become good enough to sell the fabric they made.
The fabric that was woven, since it wouldn’t sell, I gave to the necromancer girl. Even though it was rough and uneven, she seemed thrilled to get it. She went off after asking my permission. The most my twelve fairies could handle is about ten webs each a day. That was enough to make a yard of silk fabric. The necromancer girl said that it was equivalent to about 1.2 thousand silkworms in her world.
So each of the webs was about 120 silkworms worth of material. I wanted to send Master a message about that, but restrained myself from doing so. If I bothered Master with too many boring updates, I knew he wouldn’t allow me to serve him for long. I had to bring only the best news to him. At that point the shoddy work output was not the best news.
The only reason the silk gathering was viable, was that the spiders ignored my undead. Otherwise I would have to kill the spiders every time I needed to gather silk. I quarantined off the insect population to allow them to grow a bit. I also set aside several large chambers for the moss to grow in. The rodents consumed the fish, moss, insects, and even tried to make the spiders prey.
Having competition was good for the spiders. They had to become stronger in order to hunt the rodents. Over the course of the week that I had the fairies learning how to spin the fabric, the spiders had leveled up several times. As had the rodents. The insects remained at a generally low level, but outnumbered the other two groups by several fold.
The room for the moss was even bigger than the throne room I made for Master. It wasn’t because the moss was more important, but because I knew master would rather have a fully automatic system, then have the largest room for a throne room. The moss room made more than a hundred pounds of moss each day. I had the fish dumped straight into that room, along with a few other rooms for the rodents.
Voice’s POV
It’s been a week since I started examining the baby Gryphon. I haven’t made any particular progress with decoding it, but I did manage to replicate the mana signatures required for making the venom of the snake.
I also managed to decrease the overall size of the plague a bit. By absorbing the darkness mana in the Gryphon I forced the spell to decrease in potency. After absorbing too much it began to fuel itself using the Gryphon’s HP. I would die if I let the baby Gryphon die, so I stopped.
It helped that the mother Gryphon brought several players to me. I still couldn’t believe I fell for whatever fear effect had made me believe being killed by the Gryphon would delete my character. I’d have to watch out for those kinds of things in the future.
The players boosted my points slightly, but mostly were used to experiment on. I made the venom on the second day, and had been transplanting various forms of it on each subsequent subject. The venom was difficult to make, but I managed to hold each piece separately with the help of my mana fairies. I only had to take care of the darkness part by myself.
After the first two venom transplants, I asked for the captives to be brought back barely alive. The healing field kept them from dying, but that didn’t exactly work in their favor. I injected them each with the homemade venom.
I learned a very important fact after the third time. The venom could be manipulated by adjusting small bits of the mana that made it up. By forcing the darkness mana to spin, faster or slower, I could make the venom deal more or less damage each second.
On the fourth victim, I learned that the size of the nature mana determined the length of time the poison would last. On the fifth person, I realized the amount of water mana in the spell directly correlated to the amount of time it took for each ‘pulse’ to cause damage to the host.
The problem with increasing or decreasing the venom’s attributes, was that when I increased the potency of one part, it would decrease the other parts to correspond. The spell seemed to calibrate itself after I created the final part. It would adjust the different types of mana to fit the requirements I made.
The only way to fix that was to increase the amount of mana I put in. I could make more of the venom that way, but it quickly expired without a living host. On the last person I tested it on, I made the mana damage equal to the healing area power. It also attacked at equal intervals as the healing field.
I found out that poisoned people don’t regen health. That was useful information. It meant I could keep people at exactly the amount of hp I wanted to. After finishing the latest experiment I got a notice saying I learned how to make the ‘Venomous Snake-like Poison’. I played around with the spell a bit.
Venomous Snake-like Posion
This spell was created through the trial and error of Voice0fReason.
The base spell cost for this spell is 50 mana.
This spell deals 1 hp of damage every 10 seconds.
The test subjects had provided me with vital intel. The last one even proved amusing as she was dying. She tried to prostitute herself out if I saved her. The whore must not have realized I was a pc. Even if I weren’t, I’d still not have helped her.
It was too much of a hassle. I did toy with her a bit though. I healed her a bit with a spell, then as she was thanking me with tears streaming down her face, I made her give me all of her equipment. Not her clothes though. After she tried to give me those, I called for Kretchof.
I had decided a while ago to give him a gift for being so obedient. She was his gift. His wicked smile was a bit disgusting, but he took his new toy to the dungeon. He seemed excited about it at least. He had sent me a message earlier about the ‘ecosystem’ he was making in the dungeon.
He was having trouble keeping the balance between consumables and consumers. But he was getting a nice amount of spider silk. He even found a way to make it into clothe apparently. I told him to keep the best silk stock piled for me. That way my town would have a great way to earn fast cash.
With the new spell completed I focused on purifying my mana types. I made a schedule to spend exactly one hour a day trying to break the plague on the baby gryphon. The rest of the day would be spent purifying my mana or trying to meditate while gliding.
With only using a few hours a day on purifying, I got both light and darkness mana up to 10% purity. I wanted to get both of them up at least that high before I began working on the final fire mana purity. I sat down after dismissing Kretchof.
I meditated on the cliff face. I inhaled all of the fire mana around me, which was a lot thanks to Drake pouring it on me, and exhaled the impurities. In with the environmental fire mana, out with the impure fire mana.
With each breath I felt myself become more in tuned with the fire mana. I could feel its power coursing through me. The heat that seeped into my body was nothing more than warmth. As soon as I reached 1% purity, I got a notice.
You have obtained 1% of your total mana as Pure Mana!28.8 points of your mana has been converted to Pure Mana.Your total effective mana is now: 3110.4!
You are the first player to unlock Pure Mana. You have gained 10 intelligence for being the first person to understand the basic concept of pure mana.
After that I spent the next several hours purifying me fire mana. It was increasingly hard to do so. Since I was in a place so heavily surrounded by nature mana, infusing myself with fire mana was made more difficult. By the end of the night I managed to break the 5% barrier.
I was more than exited by the results. Since the pure mana increases my total mana by 9 times, by gaining 1/20 of my total mana as pure mana, I already had 4172 ‘effective mana’. Which meant I could use my total 2980 mana to the effect that most would need 4172 mana to duplicate.
I always knew being a mage was a badass choice! Look at that! Once I get fire to 10% I will almost double my total mana!
I went to sleep that night, content with the knowledge that my nature mana would slowly rise. Although since it was already so high it was slow going. By the next morning I had only increased it by 1%. If I wasn’t in the heavily nature mana infused area, it would have been far lower than that.
Both fire and metal mana were at 5%, so I’d have to increase both to further my total mana. I could have sat there and meditated all day to increase both by 1%, but the fact that I still only meditated for an instant while flying bothered me.
I decided to go out and practice that much at least. If I could just keep my meditation up while flying in my suit, I knew I’d get some sort of skill at least. If I was going to go for the route of being overpowered, I was going to go all of the way.
No matter how often I tried I couldn’t break the barrier. I tried flying in the air for several hours, but the best I could muster was not even half a second. Something was wrong with the way I was approaching the situation.
I sat down after my latest failed attempt. I closed my eyes as if I were meditating, and began to think on each flight.
The longest I had meditated while gliding was about a third of a second. I was going to take this on as if I were studying a new plant or equation.
I had SparrowHawk send me into the air, and closed my eyes. I threw everything out of my mind except for the idea of absorbing mana. Just as I entered the meditative mana regen mode, I was jostled out of my reprieve, and cursed.
As I landed on the cliff face, I began to think about the flight. As I became more in tuned to the meditation, I began to feel my surrounding mana more. I had to block out more and more to keep the state. Maybe that’s it! There is too much wind mana while I’m falling down!
With the new information I began to do a new test. I glided down to the forest floor. I stood up and closed my eyes. Entering meditation wasn’t difficult while standing, as long as I wasn’t doing anything else.
As soon as I entered the meditative state I slowly began to walk. As soon as I began the state was broken. Hmph. I guess that would have been too easy after all. Alright what would happen if…?
I had a few plans to try out before I gave up for the day. I found a small area that had a straight path. Once I found it I slowly began to walk with my eyes closed. I walked it while sensing the nature mana. I walked back and forth for about thirty minutes. Each walk took a little longer than half a minute. So that was about fifty times there and back.
After I was sure my body perfectly remembered the exact path, I began to walk again. This time I activated my meditation.
My idea wasn’t too complex, but it wasn’t guaranteed to work either. There is a thing that all humans posses called ‘muscle memory’. It isn’t memory stored in your muscles, but rather a memory ingrained in your mind so much that you can complete it without paying attention. Like if you came home while thinking of something, but suddenly found yourself at your computer.
The reason I walked the path fifty times, twenty five in each direction, was for this reason. I could technically be doing something while meditating… hopefully anyway. Each time I walked I made sure I walked the exact same path, down to the number of steps for each path.
I began walking, and tried activating my meditation skill. After a moment I noticed the familiar feeling of mana pouring into my body. I didn’t know if I was still walking, but I did my best to not concentrate on anything, not even the mana. If I did I might mess the entire process up.
After I felt I had spent enough time walking, I opened my eyes. I stumbled a bit as I regained the use of my legs. I looked at my notifications, hoping something would tell my I got a new skill.
Nothing was there. I sighed despondently. I re-equipped my ring, and threw myself back up the cliff. Once there I began the other tests. There was a time, many weeks ago, when I gained the skill automated.
I gained it from doing the same task several times without thinking. To make my meditation skill activate even while doing things would have to be similar. It was essentially doing at least two things at once.
I already proved a simple physical task wouldn’t be enough to upgrade it. Since I could use mana while meditating, a small mental task probably wouldn’t be enough either. I would have to do something at least moderately difficult. Like keeping my trajectory while gliding.
Since I spent so long trying that idea already I was going to have to think up something a bit simpler. I took a quick look through my skill list, to see if any inspiration hit me. The mining skill caught my eye. It was backbreaking work, at least it seemed like it, but seemed monotonous.
I had my pickaxe, and some mining equipment from the cave dungeon with the worms. I glanced through my inventory. I only remembered Ysga’s ring when I was it. PERFECT! With this my plan should be even easier!
I equipped the mining clothes for fun, and took out the axe. With the ring I gained 45% speed while mining. Of course I had never mined before, but I had the skill.
I went to the back where the Golem sensed the metal mana. Ancestor used Inspect to show me several areas that had potential for having large quantities of metal, but they were all a bit far back. I could have cleared the way with Eli, or used my own earth mana, but I wanted to try my mining idea.
I began to swing the axe, which was exceptionally heavy, and was happily surprised to see the familiar red marks appear. The weak points made it easier to mine through the solid rock. I had to use my pickaxe to hit the red marks at least 100 times to be able to activate my automated skill. The reason I let Ancestor use the skill instead of me using it, was it that it had to be that way for my plan.
I got a bit carried away and ended up creating a small enclave in the cave. I was panting and breathing heavily by the time I quit. A large smile spread across my face. I had gained two points of str! For only a couple of hours of work it was well worth it.
I let my skill take over at that point. I checked the exp bar of the skill as it went. It was very slow going. I activated my meditation, and blanked out all other thoughts. My automated skill was doing one task for me, Ancestor was doing another, and I was meditating.
That was three tasks including meditation. If one more mental task didn’t give me something, then this game was really cheating to put me down. I began counting multiples of twos. Three mental tasks and one hard labor should be enough for something.
2 4 8 16 32 64. Nothing crap. 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096 8192 16384 32768. Still nothing. I kept going until I hit 34359738368. The 32nd power of 2. At that point I stopped and began reciting poems by famous poets. I even resorted to creating limericks.
Once I felt I had done enough to either get a skill or try something new, I quit. I took inspect back, and cancelled the automated skill. My mining skill did increase by a few levels though. So harvesting mastery increased by two.
I got a new skill from all of that though.
Multi-Tasking
Current Level: Novice Level 1 Exp 0.00%
Doing several tasks at once, with no diminishing returns on the final outcomes, you have gained this new skill.
Doing multiple things at once has become easier for you.
To level this skill you must do many tasks at once, such as mining while counting multiples of twos.
Levels in this skill increase the efficiency of your multi-tasking. Ranks in this skill increase the total amount of tasks you can do at once.

Can currently be fused to: Automated.
I obviously fused them. The result was interesting, and very helpful.
Multi-Auto Tasking
Current Level: Novice Level 1 Exp 0.00%
You can use this skill to automatically do several tasks at once. To use this skill, you must have performed each of the tasks at least 10^(x+1) times. Where x is the amount of tasks to be automatically performed.
Doing two tasks requires you to have done each task 1000 times, three tasks requires 10000 and so on.
To level this skill you must automatically do many tasks at once, such as mining while counting multiples of twos.
Tasks will be accomplished at 50% of average speed shown by the user.

Levels in this skill increase the efficiency of your automatic multi-tasking. Ranks in this skill increase the total amount of tasks you can automatically do at once. Ranks will also increase the speed of the tasks, as well as decrease the mistakes made by the skill.
Current Limit: 3
You have learned all of the required skills to obtain the Group Skill: Task Master. Would you like to exchange relevant skills for the Group Skill: Task Master? You can choose to fuse them at a later time. At that time say exchange relevant skills.
“Yes.”
You have exchanged all relevant skills for the Group Skill: Task Master. All relevant skills have been taken from your skill list. The total accumulated experience has been added to the Group Skill: Task Master. The total level requirements have all been added to the Group Skill: Task Master.
As you level this skill all parts of it will level up. For instance if you train enough to level up Staff Mastery, you will gain the benefits the other skills would have provided at that level. This skill takes more exp to level up to level two than all of the skills that make it up would.
“Inspect Group Skill: Task Master.”
Task Master
Current Level: Novice Level 5 Exp 27%
This skill allows you to use the benefits from: Automated, Multi-Tasking, Multi-Auto Tasking, and Instruct.
You have learned how to increase the efficiency of doing tasks.
Task Master is a skill that can be toggled. You can currently do 3 tasks automatically at the same time. To increase this number you must increase the level of Group Skill: Task Master.
This skill allows you to further increase efficiency in others. You have gained the Skill: Instruct. Instruct has been automatically fused to Task Master. For every level of Group Skill: Task Master, those you instruct will gain a 5% competency bonus.
To level this skill you must do an action that would be encompassed in one of the skills that were consumed to make this skill, or study task efficiency. You can study the skills that that make up Task Master.
Tasks will be accomplished at 50% average speed shown by the user.
Current quality: Slight mistakes are committed often. Extreme mistakes are committed rarely.
Levels in this skill allow you to do the skills this Group Skill encompasses with better efficiency. Ranks in this skill increase the amount of tasks you can do at once, and increase the competency bonus those you instruct gain by 5%. Ranks will also increase the speed the tasks are done at, and the decrease the mishaps of those skills.
Task Master actually had very good synergy with my Tactics skill. I decided to ‘use the system to maximize its efficiency’. At least that was how I phrased it in my mind at the time. In reality I was abusing the system.
It took me a bit, but I thought up a good way to gain exp for task master. I began counting from 1-10000. By saying the numbers like one, two, three, … eight, nine, one zero, one one, and so on I could count about five numbers in a second. Until I hit 100. Then I could only count two a second. It only took seven minutes to get to 1000. Once there I had to do one and a half numbers a second.
All in all it took about two hours to actually count to 10,000. Wow, that took a lot longer than I thought it would. I had wanted to go to a hundred thousand, but decided that would take waaaay too long. I activated the new group skill I got, and watched as it very slowly increased in exp.
I did the alphabet a thousand times, it only took about eight minutes to complete. I stopped there and sent it to auto. That way the exp would slowly be boosting while I do whatever. I also counted in multiples of twos. To get to 10000 times, or 20000 total, I spent another two and a half hours.
It was pretty mind numbing, but the ends definitely justified the means in this case. My group skill jumped up from level 5 to level 7 by the time I started the even numbers on auto.
I got a notification saying I hadn’t done the alphabet enough times to set three things to auto, so I hunkered down and started. I began to even make an interesting tune to the super speed alphabet reciting. Once done, another two hours later, I set it back to auto.
At that point I was getting stir crazy. I hadn’t done anything except excessively boring tasks for about eight hours. The end result was great, but I was craving some sort of excitement. Looking at the plague had become more boring than I could handle at the instant, so I called back the mother gryphon.
Wind amplifying my voice worked wonders. The sound spread to what I can only assume was every corner of the entire world. Ok maybe I’m exaggerating a bit, but it was very loud. The mother was back in only a few minutes.
I sighed as she landed. “I’m sorry, I’ve done all I can, but I found out something about the plague. Something you won’t like.” My face was contrite as I told her this horrendously depressing news I had made up.
Her face actually resembled the face of a mother that just witnessed her child being hit by a cart. It was interesting to note that I was beginning to fully understand the emotions the gryphons had.
“It seems I need another living subject.” She began to fly off at once. “Wait! That’s not all!” She turned around with a huff. After a moment I began to speak again. “The part you won’t like is this: I need the blood of a phoenix, or a scale from a dragon, or I have to have some other similar thing to boost my mana capacity.”
She seemed confused at my request. “Why? Haven’t you been doing fine?” Anger began to creep into her tone. That will happen when someone feels like they have no choice but to lose their most precious thing.
“Yes, but now isn’t the time for ‘fine’. I have to have at least 10000 mana to do this operation. I also have to have you for a reference. So you’ll need to stay in the cave while I do this. Of course I’ll have my fairies patrol while I do it.” I left out one vital part of the plan. But telling her wouldn’t benefit me.
“If you have something valuable to my kind I could also trade it for the necessary materials. But either way I will most certainly need some of your feathers, and a large monstrous snake of some kind. If I don’t have these things then I won’t be able to make the cure.”
Throughout the instructions the gryphon looked despondent, but at the word cure she perked up. Obviously one should add a small glimmer of hope to any otherwise depressing situation. That way the person you are talking to will focus on that single line of possibility with all that they have.
She poked her head beneath her offspring, and pulled out a large gem. It was deep purple, and shined with a light that seemed to radiate from every facet. After depositing it at my feet, she flew off, presumably to gather my materials.
I gladly took the gem, and activated my ring. I messaged Susan, and found her location. I was about to make a nice little profit from this. Hopefully havening a gryphon fly around the forest for a while looking for a monstrous snake would attract a bit of attention.
Seeing as the disappearing players didn’t seem to rile anyone up, I had to make some sort of commotion. Otherwise I’d be stuck healing the little fucker forever.

After falling through a rather unexpected crack in the universe that spawned under his bed, Alex finds himself in a world filled with monsters and magic. Now instead of worrying about SATs and college applications, he only has demons, magic and rips though the very fabric of the universe to occupy his mind. Quite a bit easier in his opinion. This story has abuse, trama and brushes breifly on suicide. I`ll try to include warnings on chapters that deal heavily in any of those. I’m also a very new writer, so please let me know of any mistakes you see! Updates Mondays and Thursdays Image credit: Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech/S.

Path of the Outsider is the story of Roland, a university student...who's also gained the ability to travel to and from Hristomver, a world filled with magic and barely stepping into its own age of enlightenment. As the Outsider, he acts as adjutant and advisor to Madeline, a Magister in service to the court of the Kingdom of Straskey, where, in that capacity, he is able to bring the wonders of the modern world to Hristomver. But the times are changing. The Kingdom of Straskey is but a fragment of a greater whole, one of the five splinter kingdoms that were born in the catastrophic fall of their parent state of the Strovian Realm. And from these Kingdoms, men and women, both opportunistic and dutiful seek to reunite the Realm - by the pen, or by the sword. The wheel of fate turns, and no Outsider is exempt from being caught in its wake. And as the tides shift, Roland must grapple with his unique position, and find his trail to blaze, across Earth and Hristomver...
