Side story 9 – Taking a Chance (Patreon)

After two years on the colonization project, Mahya was bored out of her mind. When she signed up for the exploration initiative, she did it to explore space, not to be stuck on an empty rock doing maintenance on a power plant.

Her boredom had reached such a peak that she was willing to risk it all, even the perils of the very-high mana world. She silently thanked the guiding spirits for not abandoning her Invisibility spell and Stealth skill when she had converted the rest of her skills to engineering, a decision she was now questioning.

She stoked on provisions, told her commanding officer she was going out for a walk, and went to the Gate.

 She firmed her courage and entered the Gate.

For five days, she ran with her Invisibility and Stealth fully engaged. She had a few close calls, but she survived; she was bloody, tired, and hungry but alive, and she reached the closest Gate.

Well, at least it had a lower mana level and would be easier to survive.
