Dear Diary,

  Tonight I’m going into the Ascension games. I’m obviously level 100 and my stats are: PP 38 (10+28), PS 239 (210+29), PE 125 (110+15), MP 351 (310+41), MS 21 (10+11), ME 244 (110+134). I should be nervous, but instead I’m excited. Instead of going for long goodbye’s, I’m doing this shit and psyching myself up. Always thought I performed better under pressure. I feel strong, I feel ready and I want vengeance. It might sound silly, but this marks a turning point for me. It’s been six months and it’s about damn time circumstances bend for me, instead of the other way around. Jen expressed fear that I’d lose myself in the rush, but the truth is… I’m not so worried. Before, I had little to lose, yet we now have a good thing going, both as a group and personally. I like our rag-tag bunch, and I like Jen. We’re good together.

  This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

  Maybe I’m off the deep end, who knows?

  Speaking of, one last refresher seems appropriate. I always feel better writing this stuff down, even if my combat style has changed dramatically.

  I can magically store up to 3 swords I ‘control’ at max 3 centimeters range in my [Sheath], [Control] lets me manipulate up to 3 swords with my mind at max 3 meters range with ‘half the force I can exert’ and I can [Launch] swords I ‘control’ ‘twice as hard as I can throw them’ by expending 5 energy (compoundable!), only possible while they are within 3 meters of me and in the direction the point is facing.

  I have two spells, cantrips to be specific. [Create Food & Drink] and [Mending]. The only information available is that they cost 10 energy, as they have no descriptions.

  Ten in, max five out, let’s hope I’m one of them, so we get to speak again.

  Bye dear Diary.
