{Blue Mage has increased to level 10.}
{You have unlocked the skill, Phase Shift.}

As we took care of these mana-based monsters, Blue Mage had quickly leveled. As to why I focused on Blue Mage, the answer should be pretty obvious. If I wanted to get home, the better my spatial magic, the better off I’d be. In that respect, it skyrocketed in level like a support skill should. I felt my blessing which gave me an affinity for spatial magic probably contributed to the rapid growth as well.
Inventory had been the first thing to unlock with Blue Mage. I already had it from being a True Hero, but this wasn’t any slouch. Other than the standard Mana Plus boosts and such, the only other noteworthy spell was called Teleport. It used a lot of mana, so unless you were me, who had a ridiculous amount of extra mana, it wasn’t something someone could use very often. However, unlike Portal, which I hadn’t unlocked yet, it could be used instantaneously.
The distance wasn’t great. I could only move at most a mile. However, with my ridiculous mana stores, I could cast ten of them back-to-back before it even became a problem.
Although we were bunkering down in this cave and holding off the monsters, allowing me to level Blue Mage and for Bernice to level up in Gunslinger, ultimately, the question at hand was where were we and how could we get home.
I scrolled my Map out to its max distance, and there it was. A small plot of discovered land existed on the other side of the planet. Previously, I hadn’t zoomed out this far, so I hadn’t noticed, but we truly were in the same world. Aberis was on the other continent, the one the Feys called Faerith. That would mean that the stories and hints I had heard of were true. Humans had once been invaders to this world, pushing the Feys from their continent to this one.
Now, the two cultures lived independently of each other, divided by a great ocean that looked twice the size of the Pacific, and that was the closer side, presuming that this world was spherical. Then again, was there any reason to believe the world was spherical? Perhaps, I would end up riding right off the edge of the world if I tried to go against the map.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOf course, since I had been to Aberis, and I could point to it on the Map, I could Portal there any time. I wouldn’t need to wait a week for the transdimensional Portal to become available again. That’s what I had hoped, but I had tried to make the Portal and failed. It was similar to when I tried to make a Portal from another dungeon. Either there were regional constraints on Portals similar to dungeons, or I simply didn’t have the power to make such a far distance leap.
That left me with three options. First, I could try to forcefully cross the ocean, using portaling to make our way at a rapid speed. Even if I converted every dungeon point to Portal, and kept portaling to the horizon, it might take months to reach Aberis, and there was no telling what existed out in that sea. The ocean was large and deep. There was no telling what grew in that abyss.
Option two was to wait for the transdimensional Portal and try to use it to just cross continents. It had to have a lot more juice than standard portaling, so I should be able to make the jump. Then, there was option three, which was the one we were on. I felt that if Blue Mage gained enough levels, I should be able to Portal, especially with my spatial affinity. In that case, it was simply a matter of getting strong enough.
Thus, it was safest to stay in the forest and level out of sight of the Feys. I’d either be able to make a Portal home, or we’d wait a week. Whichever came first.
Just as I was thinking this, a scream came from nearby.
