39 Place to Breathe and New Friend?

Other than training Alex also spent her time hanging out with her friends and becoming increasingly bolder. She has been trying and failing to keep herself under control but everyone was very receptive of her advances and it's making it harder for her to stop. Alex just got a car today from Tabitha it's an Audi because she thinks other luxury cars are too small or too big and getting a non-luxury car was out of the equation according to Tabitha. So Alex is going on a drive around the city catching sites and feeling for a better place to train her breathing technique.

First she visited a nature trail and ran around a bit trying to get a feel for it but just felt let down she did make some friends with the wild life there though. Next she went to a park but there were too many people and a lot of staring so she couldn't focus there so she needed somewhere isolated and relatively private where she could breathe better. She drove up to a mostly unused mountain path to try up the mountain but on her way up the path she saw a thinner less noticeable path that she thought would be better to go through.

Down the path she finds a weird rock formation and an abandoned house now normally she'd just turn around and leave but she felt at peace here and her breathing technique was easier so she decided to fix up the house and come here everyday of course she had to check the house first though.

Once she was close to the house she saw an ancient looking door with symbols Alex recognized as spell glyphs that seemed to pulse with magic and spread it around the place and through the door.

*ding* optional mission generated:

search the house and discover it's secrets

Rewards: N/A

Penalties: N/A

'I recommend searching the house go through your magic knowledge and you could see that the glyphs aren't protecting anything.'

(Hm... I guess you're right.)

'I usually am but just in case be ready for a fight.'

(Gotcha)

Alex opened the door and immediately felt saturated with mana it seemed to combine with her essence absorption and made her dizzy for a second which was all it took for her to get a lightning strike through her heart

*ding* 'requirement met ??? = pseudo immortality'

(Great all I had to do was almost die thanks)

'You didn't almost die as you have to have both your heart and brain destroyed before the other heals before you could die. It really is inconvenient for you to acquire this skill now though since you're only 16 you're always going to look 16.'

(What the fuck! Ugh it doesn't matter at least I'm not dead what hit me any way?)

'Looks to be some old man considering his lightning went through you instead of spread in you and destroyed most things vital organs I say he has poor control and rather weak or hasn't fought much'

(Well I'm kinda paralyzed or something at the moment so I can't really fight him)

'Just wait you should be able to move soon but let him get close and uppercut him straight in the balls you're lucky that paralyzed you because it would have really hurt now play dead an destroy him.'

"Hm... that wasn't who I was expecting oh well this is my spot and she shouldn't have tried to take it now I have to get rid of the body ugh... how annoying" Old Dude

He walks up to Alex only to get his balls smashed by an uppercut now he's lying down on the ground foaming at the mouth.

"Ha asshole that's what you get for almost killing me!" Alex

"You opened the door to my house randomly I claim self defense." Old Dude

"Well yeah but lethal force wasn't necessary I'm a 16 year old girl!" Alex

"I'm an old ass man look at how brittle I am I was scared for my life." Old Dude

"Fuck your brittle if I were just some random curious person I'd be dead!" Alex

"I have wards around the place random people can't just enter you need to be magical! Wait why aren't you dead!" Old Dude

"None of your god damned business you old murderous fuck!" Alex

"Well that's just rude you crushed my balls I feel that was pay back enough." Old Dude

"Why aren't you still writhing?" Alex

"I couldn't feel my genitals for years in fact I'm amazed I could even slightly when you hit me." Old Dude

"Ugh what ever why are you out here trying to kill magicals?" Alex

"Psh I'm not I'm just absorbing as much mana as I can for an awe inspiring final spell!" Old Dude

"Huh? Oh so you're dying that's cool we'll do your spell so I can keep this place for myself." Alex

"I'm not dying you twerp I meant final spell of my career before I retire! But you can keep this place I won't need it after I'm done!" Old Dude

"Oh... So... What's the spell?" Alex

"Great question! Well I haven't thought of one yet." Old Dude

"Then why are you absorbing all this mana?" Alex

"Convenience?" Old Dude

"You're an idiot." Alex

"I'll have you know I am a top of the line mage!" Old Dude

"Uh... sure thing old dude."Alex

"My name is Phillip Thomas!" Phil

"Oh I'm Alex Carlisle." Alex
