Kindle Notes & Highlights
I walked over to Kigo, scruffed his ears, and wished him the best. The moment hurt a lot more than I thought it would, but he simply needed a better owner than me.
A few days and one trip, this is trying to be a "moment" and failing.
“The world is divided into twelve biomes: Tropical Rainforest, Temperate Forest, Desert, Tundra, Cold Forests, Grassland, Mountain, Volcanic, Atoll, Savanna, Freshwater, and finally, Saltwater.
So why are only ten listed?
“Yeah. It’s a lot but it’s not overly convoluted.
No, it is pretty convoluted. This is just a silly system that seems random.
I wasn’t stupid. “Means I should move to that region to farm my mana to prevent mana hunger. I understand. This means wizards are on the move once a year and fighting the creatures of madness.”
So this whole system is just a reality fight club for the gods.
The problem was, I held no mana inside my core or even a clue as to how to cast a spell.
So then, you CAN'T use magic. Idiot.
I awoke to a hackling hyena nearby.
Seeing as this is the next day, I call bullshit. The hyenas would have killed them both by now.
Honestly, the timid horse owed me her life
As you owe her yours.
I needed to earn their respect and not start off our joint efforts on a lie.
Someone who lies on reflex, how does he hope to earn respect?
Tarshin’s sword always made me a smidge jealous, but I always gave my extra coins to the starving kids… I wanted to save. I really did. I knew the plight of the downtrodden. I was them, and they were me at many points in my life.
This kind of character motivation does not work as an exposition dump. Without being shown through actions, it is just a false assumption.
I also figured she’d be a he,
Why? She was refered by pronoun. "SHE thinks the three hells", that is what was said.
I sighed, actually wanting his help on the next leg of the journey
So get off you ass next time and DO SOMETHING!
