Well, that was the end of that, probably. The placebo effect was a thing that nobody could really deny, or at least, Luna was pretty sure that it was undeniable. The idea that people would practice throwing attacks out against the manastones, just because they were thought to be indestructible...

You mean like when they give people a pill that turns out to basically just be sugar and flour? That kind of like, placebo effect? It was possible. Supposedly the mind was actually extremely powerful, even if it couldn't always be controlled, it could still be directed through the usage of...

Luna wasn't convinced that training near a manastone would offer any kind of benefit, considering that she'd never even heard of the ability to passively absorb mana from something else. Maybe a Magi would benefit from it because their tiredness meter or whatever would fill up when they were...

God, it was such a problem that would damage what precious little pride she actually had. Did she care more about making her device work better, or more about making the device work herself? Luna really wasn't sure if she was more invested in the results or the learning process that went into...

There wasn't a whole lot she could do other than sit and watch as MAI did whatever it was that she was doing, the Magia's innate affinity with machines far surpassing any ability that somebody could develop through the refinement of skill and knowledge alone. It was actually moderately grating...

Oh, if MAI was going to be listing off errors, then she REALLY needed something to take notes with. Luna panicked, immediately flicking her inventory open and looking through it until she found something that looked almost suspiciously like a touchscreen tablet from the real world, like an iPad...

Where MAI pat the ground, Luna slowly sat down, having to make sure that her tail wasn't tucked underneath herself so that she didn't accidentally sit on it. It wasn't like it was hard to do or remember, but well, it was still an odd quirk that people sometimes picked up on. Once she was sat in...

It certainly wasn't like Terrasphere really advocated against violence. Hell, Luna could remember multiple times where violence had been the only answer to problems, including the time long ago where she herself had decided to blow herself up for the sake of stopping some kind of demonic thing...

Well, she certainly had no way of knowing where MAI came from in the real world and that wasn't something she typically asked anybody she met online, for more than a few reasons. Either way, maybe it was just a matter of growing up in New York City, but everybody she'd really known had been...

God she felt like such a bitch. Knowing that she'd been treating a real person like this just felt wrong. Granted, there were people out there that would have frowned upon her if she had treated an NPC like this, but Luna was still on the fence as to how she felt about NPC's. The NPC people...

Oh boy was this something that was difficult to talk about and explain, even with Vina trying to offer as much of a comforting presence as she possibly could. It was hard to unlearn some things that she had learned, or rather, been taught, of the past few years. It was quite the problem, really...

Was there really that much out there to keep herself busy with? It wasn't like this world was so full of activity that it gave her no time to think at all. In fact, a lot of the time was spent in mindless wandering with nothing to do, thanks to the fact that the game lacked any kind of fast...

Uh, right. I agree... Actually she didn't, but she wasn't about to just come out and reveal that to Vina. But really, Luna figured that it was pretty impossible to avoid dwelling on bad times when they were kind of pervasive towards the entirety of one's life. Sure, outside of Terrasphere she...

That did make sense. Anybody that had been planning something for a long time, put a lot of thought and effort into that thing, would be more than just a little disappointed that they hadn't been able to be a part of that thing if somebody else went ahead and did it without them. Frankly, it was...

She would rest when she was tired. Besides, as she always told herself when she needed to make more steps forward, it was nothing more than a game. It wasn't real, as much as some people would try and convince people otherwise. It had been developed by humans, for humans, which meant that there...

She didn't need Vina to finish speaking to know what the vixen had been about to say and even though the words were left unspoken they were able to be finished in her heart. And it hurt all the same, as ridiculous as it was. Somehow a virtual tigress had ended up feeling like an actual friend...

270 Vulnerable A bad situation was only made worse when people didn't help each other or protect one another. The battlefield was a place of chaos and pandemonium, one in which Luna hadn't taken a step in quite some time. Not since the days that she wielded arcane power with reckless abandon...

Yeah. I think with the changes to the system, the mechanics that had allowed me to merge with Natiri were gone and so the system registered Natiri as part of my avatar, rather than as a separate entity. She'd put a lot of thought into how and why this had happened to her and it all came back to...

A bard druid, huh? I think I can see it. I never did get to see what you can do back in the day, even though things are super different than they were back then now. Hell, her entire skillset was entirely different. It had felt like she needed to reinvent herself, after the permanent loss of...

It's definitely a pretty remarkable thing, yeah. It's impossible to miss, even from miles out. Further if you're looking towards it from somewhere elevated. It was almost impossible to miss, like those gargantuan monuments that existed in the real world, that stretched towards the skies and...
