Transmigration Into A World With Manna Chapter 71
Caster's party had to squeeze through a small opening the miners had created. After they passed, the opening was sealed, leaving only a small head-sized hole. They were instructed to communicate through this hole and to knock on the wall in a Morse code-like pattern to identify themselves to the miners on the other side.Guards were stationed outside to ensure the miners' safety. The adventurers had a map and were tasked with slowly clearing the tunnels of monsters. Working alongside other adventurer teams, their goal was to eliminate the monster infestation, though the duration of the mission was uncertain. Each team was given simple clocks to track their time inside, ensuring they did not stay longer than five hours.A blue sphere of light illuminated the tunnel. Wide enough for three people to walk side by side, the tunnel featured small railroad tracks on the rocky floor. An empty minecart sat on the tracks, likely used to transport iron ore and minerals."Handy to have a mage

“That’s why bronze newbies are…” Samuel snorted, and the half-demon glared back at him. Caster took this opportunity to explain the dangers of organized monsters with a leader. The ant workers and soldiers would give their lives for the queen and communicated efficiently with each other. Their organized, hive-mind behavior made them particularly dangerous.“I bet we’ll be seeing more of them coming here now; get ready,” Caster warned.“I think the miners might have lied about this, probably to save some coin,” Felix muttered, earning nods from the others. They knew that monster ants were considered more dangerous enemies, which would increase the commission they’d have to pay. The person in charge likely prioritized saving money over the adventurers' safety.“More are approaching,” Mark called out, and everyone readied themselves. Even Felix pulled out his short bow.“Get behind me,” Michael ordered as he moved to the front. The corridor was wide enough for them to maneuver, and Caste

Samuel felt a surge of energy after witnessing the impressive spell-slinging abilities of their new party member. The elf nodded in agreement, while Felix shrugged, eager to rack up more experience points. He could already see his progress increasing rapidly, having leveled up after just this quick battle.“Don’t see a reason not to,” Felix remarked.Caster also nodded. They had mapped out the path behind them, providing a clear route for retreat. The ants didn’t seem to be digging new tunnels frequently, and their current strategy of two warriors at the front and three ranged attackers at the back seemed effective. They still had time within their five-hour limit.Caster noticed a larger cavern on the map, likely an extensive mining area with minecarts and more paths to investigate. Following the railroad tracks, they encountered more worker ants. Caster, ever greedy, aimed for the head with each spell. The rest of the party blocked the ants' path while the backline fighters pelted t

“How does it look?”“Not good,” Michael answered Caster while hitting the collapsed passageway with a pickaxe he grabbed from the ground. As a dwarf, he knew a bit about living underground and in caves."It's going to take us at least a day to clear this."The tunnel they came from was in shambles. Michael also mentioned he was unsure how deep it had collapsed; they could very well have to spend days digging themselves out. This wasn’t the biggest issue though, as the real problem was the ant demons that could come from any of the other tunnels connecting to this larger cavern.The area they were staying in was about fifty meters in diameter and three meters in height. Four tunnels connected to it and branched out into more. Some led nowhere, and some led to places like this one they were in. They had two options: dig themselves out in hopes that the passage they previously took didn’t collapse in any other section, or go through the tunnels that connected to another exit.“I don’
Transmigration Into A World With Manna Chapter 75
As the team continued moving and going deeper into the winding tunnels. Even though the basic worker ants were easy to handle, the group stayed alert, especially after facing ants that could spit acid.After half an hour, they encountered another group of ants, a mix of regular and advanced types. Michael who was the party's shielf took on him most of the acid attacks, while Caster, the mage, used a protective spell to shield them, saving their precious spell scrolls for later.Caster couldn't just practice his magic skills anymore; they needed to conserve resources. Each scroll could make a big difference in a tough situation.This strategy required more effort from his companions. Michael, who used to rely on fast-acting runic spell scrolls, now had to use slower spells that took time to cast."Duck, Michael!" someone shouted."Got it!" Michael the dwarf replied, quickly jumping to the side."Mana Blast!" another voice yelled. A big ball of magic shot a little inch off Michael's ea
Transmigration Into A World With Manna Chapter 76
A loud yell shattered the silence. Samuel's sharp eyes darted across the battlefield littered with dead ant bodies. Caster spotted two figures unlike anything they had seen before. These weren't the usual worker ants or even the acid-spewing ones. These were adventurers, lying dead among the carnage.A wave of dread washed over the party. It was clear the other team had met a horrible end. Most groups adventuring like this stuck together in teams of five. That meant the others were probably out there somewhere, hurt or even dead."Blast it all," Caster mumbled, tracing his finger across the map. Their escape route, a narrow tunnel leading to the next exit, was now a blocked mess of debris. The other team must have caused a cave-in while trying to escape in a panic. A feeling of regret stabbed at him. Sure, his magic skills were getting better, but at what terrible cost?The only silver lining was the abundance of mana stones scattered amongst the fallen insects. Even some of the lar
Transmigration Into A World With Manna Chapter 77
Suddenly, they were swarmed by even more monstrous ants! Caster and his team found themselves in a big cavern after defeating a giant ant soldier. There were all three types they'd seen before, and some especially dangerous soldier ones too. Luckily, their mage had enough firepower to keep the soldiers busy.Giant balls of water splashed onto the ants, followed by others that seemed to crackle with icy energy. One of these icy balls flew at a big soldier ant, who barely dodged out of the way. But part of its giant rear end got hit and it froze instantly. The frost began to climb up its body, literally bringing the creature to a standstill.These ants were as cold blooded as insects, as they also lacked a fixed body temperature. They were also confined to an environment where they could not generate their own heat. Some ant species had special organs to fight this, but not this kind. Once their body temperature dropped too low, they'd get sluggish and eventually fall asleep for the w

The other man nodded and walked away. A loud boom echoed a short while later. Wells frowned; this mission was supposed to be easy, with maybe a few unlucky newbies getting hurt.These explosions were on purpose. The miners had set off explosives deeper in the mine, collapsing the tunnels. Sure, the ants could dig through rock, but it would take them time. Once backup arrived, they could clear the rubble and try again, with more muscle this time.Meanwhile, the supposedly dead team of five was resting and eating after a brutal ant fight. Frost covered the area, but they'd managed to make a fire with some coal and magic. Their spirits were low, but at least they were alive. Several dead giant ant bodies lay scattered around.'More than half my scrolls are gone,' Caster thought, munching on some jerky from his bag. Everyone except Felix, who lacked a magic bag, had brought snacks. The half-gnome wasn't left out though; they shared food and water."W-will they just leave us here to die?

Caster was mature enough to see the world as it was. He understood that most younger folk saw it through a lens of hope and ambition, their dreams of treasure and fame setting them apart from his more grounded approach. Some were from humble beginnings: sons and daughters of farmers; young people from families that were better off but that had fallen on hard times and now were boy or girl determined to claw back some of that perceived lost respect, no matter the price."My jaw twisted into a small smirk as I imagined their wide eyes and wide, baseless plans and all they think is, ‘Get some gold, a shiny sword, you’ll be a hero.’" It was the same story, time and again: things that were often only dreams, rarely aligning with reality.Lowfield had been a deliberate choice despite what she had become. Knowing full well it wouldn’t be clear, he took the fast route but he took the fast route. The road taught him about its steep hills, its rocky passages and on occasion, the unfriendly tra

The early morning breeze bit into the cloak and the underdress at Caster’s shoulders as he walked the narrow cobblestone path into Lowfield. Today he had gotten rid of his imposing helmet and heavy armor. Dawn's fresh smell of its own earth together mingling with the familiar taste of his workshop on his clothes. He wasn’t hiding his identity, or painful silence had been left behind, today. Today was about remembering the life that kept breathing after his magesmith-tools stopped.The caravan had added liveliness to the town which reminded me of festival time, the town was waking up. Some of the faces settling onboard Caster recognised—newcomers amongst the adventurers. With fresh ambitions and none of the resolve yet tested, they walked on their own journey wide eyed and reminded him of the person he used to be. He watched the newcomers with a kind of quiet amusement, catching snippets of eager chatter about dungeons and imagined battles, bravado thick in the air.A young man, prob

Casting his small treaty of provisions, a load of stale bread crusts, some wrinkled fruits, and a hard wedge of cheese that once lived on a more hospitable broke surviving clunk to clunk. He made a gagging noise as he peered at the dried meat again and poked it with distaste. "Wouldn't it kill the fates to give me a real meal?" Just once. Something hot, even." He sneaked a look over at where a stove should be, the ones that made his mouth water when a hearty stew bubbled away. For a moment he smirked, "No stove yet … maybe I could conjure a magical pan up." "Oil might be asking for a miracle."Peering out the window he squinted at the city in the early light. Carts creaked along cobbled paths and vendors hawked fresh fish and newly baked bread in the place I had walked into, even now. He’d done a lot with the house in the week that he’d been there, turning it into something livable, barely. "What the hell?' he murmured, 'Doors actually close now' he concluded feeling a bit more proud

Caster adjusted his grip and took a close look at his work, scrutinizing every line and angle of the newly crafted weapon handle. The wood was tough but carefully sanded, bearing faint, meticulous patterns he had engraved over hours of work. "Alright," he muttered, almost to himself. "Let's see if this holds up."He lowered his gaze to the small, rough-edged mana stone beside him. Its surface shimmered faintly, a testament to the raw energy that pulsed within it. With precision, he made a tiny opening at the base of the handle, using one of his tools to keep the gap just wide enough for the stone to fit snugly. Holding his breath, Caster slid the stone into place, his hand steady even as he felt the twinge of nervousness in his gut. One wrong move, one crack, and the handle would split, and the entire effort would be wasted. He exhaled, the pressure off his shoulders as the stone was secure. He picked up a little hammer and taps the opening closed, sealing the stone.Caster was co

Caster’s gaze shifted between his rough tools and the iron-cast walls around him. The dim, flickering light from a lone torch cast dancing shadows on his workbench, where the worn mace lay, waiting. Each scuff and nick in the wood handle held a tale of its own; it wasn’t just a tool but a companion, a weapon that had been through as much as he had. And here he was, weighing its life and usefulness like a weary healer judging the last pulse of an old patient.He ran his hand over the handle one last time, tracing the grains and grooves with a practiced eye. “Adding a stone’s one thing,” he muttered. “But what it needs is stability.” His fingers slid to a small crack, an old fracture that hadn’t yet spread but threatened to. “If that widens… this thing’s done.”His hands worked without thought, reaching into the assortment of stones, metals, and powders he had scavenged over time. His fingers found a small, rough mana stone, and he rolled it between his fingers, feeling its faint warm

Caster knocked metal hard on metal, the sound reverberating in the almost pitch black workshop. With every hook an aura of magical energy was discharged providing brief glimpses of light on the roughly completed stone walls. It smelled of hot metal and a low, tense buzz, which seemed to say that the room itself had tensed to watch him.Caster, still young but hardened by the trials of his craft, stood poised over his latest project: a shield, its shape still raw but which is already starting to look graceful. Though not tall and still somewhat thin, he seemed to possess good illating strength, every punch he landed being calculated. Each movement was accompanied by complex magical ripples, which Indragni had seen on the surface of the shield before a layer of runes he more or less sketched with great detail. In addition to a frown a look of intense concentration took over his face only to be interrupted the occasional lean back to examine the painting.After several more strikes, he

Caster climbed the winding stone stairs leading upward from the basement of Lamba fortress as the red rays of the morning sun spread across Lowfield. He sighed as he breathed in the crisp morning air and hours spent wading through dim and damp caverns had taken a toll on him. The bustle outside was a stark contrast to the quiet gloom below. Merchants, hawkers, and small-time dealers filled the open area, all eager to cater to the steady stream of adventurers drawn to the dungeon.“Potion for mana, sir?” called a nearby merchant, brandishing a small flask that shimmered faintly in the sunlight. Clearly, the man wasn’t going to miss any opportunity to sell.He gave her the distinct pleasure of a faint smile and a polite shake of his head. “Not today, but thanks.” The merchant glanced up as he passed saying “As he passed his gaze fell on a young boy standing beside the merchant with his hands outstretched each palm held small stones of different colors.”“Lucky charms,” the boy put out

Caster met them along the way quite often, which slowed down his progress. As he fought, he had to wait for them to finish before he could move on. “Hey, Caster! Need a hand?” one adventurer called out, swinging a sword at a monster.“No thanks! I’m good,” Caster replied, keeping his eyes on the battle ahead. He knew he could be accused of stealing if he forced his way through. Caster wished to avoid conflict with others, at least for now. He didn’t want to risk incurring their wrath or losing potential allies. “Once I get a silver-grade card, things will be different,” he thought. With higher levels, prestige wouldn’t be far behind, and the dynamics of encounters would shift dramatically.The level wasn’t that large; if someone knew the way, they could stroll past most dangers and quickly descend to the second level. Caster recalled hearing about hidden paths that only seasoned adventurers were aware of. These shortcuts could be the difference between life and death, especially dee
