Dennis controls the faint magic inside the magic stones and lets them float as she casts a spell at one of the shards , while undoing the spell as it enters the shard and casts it onto another shard , then turning it back into its unactivated spell formation state .
Dennis noticed that it looked a bit different after a few jumps between the shards . She starts tossing the spell from one shard to another , while the spell starts changing shape and becomes malleable with each jump .
‘ I’m definitely getting better at controlling magic , but what’s this change occurring ? ‘ she watches the spell she cast transforming with each jump .
‘ It’s like making patties by tossing them from one palm to another , but I am seeing different shapes that the magic spell is taking form ‘ Dennis wonders if this has to do with her casting the spell and turning it back into its unactivated spell formation state .
‘ Maybe I can use this to confuse my opponents ‘ she takes out the spell , which was deformed and twisted , but still worked like normal . She cast it right there and a fireball came out .
‘ Seems like it works ‘ Dennis caught the fireball with a shard and took the rest of the hollowed shards to play with it . She puts a chain bind spell , watching chains jump from one shard to another .
After getting used to it she lets the fireball start jumping between shards ‘ This is a fun pastime ‘ Dennis adds more spells in it while thinking of the possibility of things going wrong , giving Saver some ideas on what to Save ‘ Or I could just teleport away , I have good reflexes ‘
...
Willow looks at Dennis’s shards floating around her “ I came to have lunch , but it doesn’t look like you cooked anything “ “ I do have lunch planned , I already got someone to deliver us food “
The doorbell rang and Willow turned “ See “ Dennis sent a deformed spell formation , casting a magic hand and opened the door “ Delivery “ they ate lunch out of plastic containers , but despite the highly processed natural resource , Willow didn’t complain about the food .
“ I don’t sense any microplastics in the food “ “ There’s a spell for that called Purify , but you have to make some modifications so it can get rid of microplastics because it’s such a new compound unfamiliar to the magic “
“ Huh , that spell sounds very useful “ she brings a book out asking “ Wanna trade ? “ Dennis Saves the book’s contents and Loads the spell in “ There you go “
Willow sighed and gave Dennis another book “ Alright , now what are you planning to do ? “ “ I was thinking of going to the summoner’s world “ “ You are really working a lot “ “ Yeah , although I do want to go back to Piko’s world to get some plants “
“ Then let me handle it , I’ll pass this through the higher ups and we’ll count you Loading some knowledge into elves as part of payment “ “ You sure are accommodating “ “ Only cause it’s you and because the elves enjoy the benefits of your gift , also you should go pick up Piko . “
“ I will “ as soon as Willow leaves , Dennis takes a slave contract and Loads her mother’s gift and teleports Piko towards her after locating her with her mother’s gift “ I’m gonna need you for something “ Dennis Saves a copy of Piko’s knowledge and asks , ignoring Piko’s trouble in adjusting to the teleportation .
“ I also need you to lend me some Vis “ Piko shook away her confusion “ Lending you Vis ? “ “ I know that the cost of making Vis is just eating or consuming food , so hand me some “ ‘ I already know a little bit of it and I want to see how far I can go with Vis , so lend me some ‘
Dennis hands her his hand out “ Okay , you’re the boss “ Piko takes Dennis hand and the other hand . She starts giving Dennis about half of her remaining Vis .
Dennis first plays with it and sees how easy ti was to control likely because it was Piko’s Vis ‘ This won’t work with that dead gramps ‘ she looks at Piko , who wonders what she wants to do ‘ No , with my understanding of biology , I might kill her when I try to use her ability ‘
Piko watches Dennis take a plate and start to mold it like it was heated glass with Piko’s Viscraft “ Looks like I can’t use it on people yet “ Dennis was still impressed by this ability since it can easily be used to mold material like ceramic this easily .
‘ I might face much more resistance if it were a stronger material , though ‘ “ Uhm master , is there anything else you need ? “ Dennis turns instantly to Piko , scaring her a bit “ No , just ignore that thing that’s asleep beside your room . “
Dennis checks the time and decides ‘ I should go training in the world of knights ‘ she takes her ID , that showed her current ranking in the mountain peaks .
...
She passes a world travel spot and checks her training options ‘ Oh , this one is interesting ‘ she found a wooden dummy “ Oh , I know this “ ‘ It basically trains your reaction speed by hitting one of the sticks and reacting to it as the whole section connected to it counterattacks with the same force ‘
She looks at the cost of owning one in good condition and a business idea popped but because Saver has better things to do . It was dismissed immediately ‘ Better to use it for myself ‘
Dennis rents for 2 hours and starts training the dummy . The speed continues to move faster and she improves much faster , reacting as quickly as she can and eventually she leaves the room with not a single damage on her dummy .
‘ I hope there is no problem with the dummy , although it is quite something for it to generate electricity . I guess they gotta get something out of it ‘ she recalls the many jobs available for the unfortunate members who don’t have money to spend .
‘ It’s very well developed for a center for training , but I appreciate this place more as a neutral place for training ‘ she returns her room key and thought of an idea for this place , but waves it away because Saver has better things to do .
‘ I’m craving something adventurous ‘ she goes to the cafeteria , which had many delicacies for different species ‘ A lot of these look good ‘ she gives the cashier a credit card that her mother gave her that allows her to pay other world currencies .
She orders a lot of food and gets a cart to take it to her table ‘ How nice of them to give me a cart ‘ she drags the cart full of different food and eats the full-course meals ‘ I feel like a gourmet eating so many different food ‘
She recalled that there was another world where food is such a vital source of their culture because of the variation their food has ‘ It’s kinda like the world of Seeker’s , but a bit kinder since there’s more food than poison ‘
There was a lot of excitement to work in the world over there , but there was also a barrier , which was that they didn’t want anyone from a brutal culture to come over and had only accepted cultures like Dennis’s .
It was also nearby , so she could afford to cast world travel to visit . However , her recent acquisition of world-travel permits has led to significant spending despite all the money she was earning .
‘ Mom said she was going to visit me because I didn’t go out today ‘ Dennis sighs and when someone was about to get close to her table , she cast a privacy bubble , giving the trainees a hint that she didn’t come to socialise .
‘ I’m done training for the day , so where should I go instead ? ‘ she thought of the world of gourmet and was so tempted to just go ‘ It’s one of the world , Mom joked that I would like because of how much I was eating and using Saver’s ability . ‘
But it could get late if she goes now , so she calls her mother “ Mom , I kinda want to go to a world with you , do you think that’s okay ? “ ... “ How exciting , my daughter has decided to meet new people “ Miss Debrah said walking along with Dennis and Willow at a massive lot full of small stalls .
‘ No wonder she agreed so easily ‘ “ I’m more surprised you know there is a gathering of marriage candidates here “ Dennis said “ Why don’t you look around ? There might be someone that you like “
While there were a lot of humans around her mom and Willow found her interest only directed to marriage candidates who were very different than her .
‘ It seems like she has been influenced by Saver’s looks to be more adventurous ‘ her mother thought , while Willow wonders if what Dennis said about not being into non-humans is false or not .
“ Here “ Willow looks at the plastic cup slushy and Dennis said “ According to the shop owner , these slushies are squeezed out of any dead animals that were reanimated by the wildlife . So it has more protein “
“ I feel like I should vomit , just from that “ Willow said “ It’s fine , because they actually needed approval from several food associations to prove that their food is actually good and safe “
Dennis drank some and so did her mom “ Did you like them ? “ “ Like is an overstatement . I am just fine with them because they’re definitely better than the food companies who says they are ethical about their food “
“ What about that one ? “ her mom asked “ Nope “ her mother kept eyeing different candidates , but Dennis denied them all “ Famadi ? “ “ Mom “ “ What about the tower master ? They did give you a credit card to support your spending “
“ I’ve only used it as a library card and we’re in a professional relationship “ Dennis said and they bought some modified jackfruit and ate the warm seeds while eating the juicy flesh .
‘ Hmm , you want to make a farm with the plants here ? ... I can give you access to my dimension home , but we’ll need to buy some soil . So go ask my mom for the materials ‘ Dennis pokes her mother and she uses her gift while Saver communicates through paper and words .
“ Willow , can you watch over Dennis and make sure she is at least making an effort to look for candidates for dating “ “ Oh , I’m sure she doesn’t need to , a lot of them are quite charmed with her . They are even giving her invites to some party in the future and I don’t think she is using the other invites to reject the others “
“ Ohh , then we'd better go get you a new dress “ “ Sure “ Dennis replied while she looked at the invitations attached to it was the venue as well as the person’s name .
‘ Mom sure now’s how to find these kinds of gatherings ‘ Dennis thought while she and Willow walked around “ Are you that uninterested in marriage “ “ Just don’t find someone who is flexible and can keep up “
“ Maybe you just don’t have a type ? “ “ That could be too , I have grown numb to other people’s looks since I’m too focused on myself “ Dennis said and she looks around while continuing to accept invitations .
“ Isn’t it bad if they got mad at you ? “ Dennis takes an invitation and flips it “ This wouldn’t even get me invited , it’s just asking me if I want to come “ “ Why didn’t you refuse “
“ Too much work and haven’t you received a few too “ “ Cause they were pushing it over me ? “ “ Well , this is mostly a tactic to gain more money from selling tickets and what’s more , there really are a lot of businesses in the marriage market beyond just making everything more expensive at the mention of a wedding to take advantage of girls who dream of going bankrupt by putting all of their money on a wedding “
Willow really wonders how far Dennis’s knowledge stretches “ Maybe you could be a good fit with that highly advanced world nearby . That world has also been wishing to get deeper into the United Worlds “
“ So there are more worlds than the one close ? “ “ Yeah , but it’s better for you to explore the outer worlds before going deep inside . I heard that they have a more advanced social structure and they even have access to the land of the dead and other realms beyond our reach “ Willow said , trying to taunt Dennis .
“ I don’t care “ ‘ With Saver I don’t think I’ll be dying that easily and I even have Piko and Clive , who are useful to fight against eventual death ‘ “ You’re right , you still have so much time ahead of you , not to mention that time you have been Saving up “
“ So about that scifi world “ “ Oh , it’s highly advanced only because they focused on the development of their brains . They discovered several combinations of brain food to boost their thinking process , as well as technologies , but I don’t think you need it . “
“ It’s gonna be worth checking because if there are those who develop their brains through artificial means . There will be those who learn to develop their brains through exercise and it would be worth visiting to test my brain’s processing ability “
“ I’m pretty sure it would be great , but that feels wasteful to go there for just a test ... Unless you plan to get more access to education “ “ That’s the plan , since they are an advanced society , I figured it’s good if I can surf their internet , although whether I can find what I want is all up to me “
“ So much for accepting your world’s culture and identity “ “ Hey , I still am . There are a lot of student exchange were education from other worlds was brought to ours and it’s not my fault , my world can’t keep up with me “
“ Even though you only rush ahead because of your save . Maybe you should like make an app for them to use your Save and Load time “ “ It’s detrimental ... unless I tell them that they are going to lose their Saved time if they don’t use it on the same day ... Yeah , but I’m gonna need someone to help me build it , I'd better check the job market “
“ Is that like figuratively or do you actually have a job market ? “ “ I don’t think you understand what a job market is , but there is a very popular site that our government made for immigrant workers called the job market . “
“ Why didn’t I know about this “ “ Maybe because you elves are so nature themed , you don’t want to be with any forms of technology “ “ That’s fair “ ‘ But the problem is if Saver wants to accept it ‘
Dennis walked to a restroom and took Saver out for a personal talk “ You okay with the idea I had ? “ Saver nodded , but Dennis wanted them to refuse “ It might not be a good idea because a lot of people are gonna be using it and push further use of it “
Saver takes some paper and writes “ Want Grow “ “ Alright , we’ll just say the service isn’t available if you are tired , not like I can’t say there are some limits in your power ... Alright , I’ll make a contact with the person “
Dennis leaves and sees her mom “ Mom , I have a business idea . We are ditching this gathering “ Dennis threw all her invites at a nearby trash can “ You could’ve eaten those , they were edible “ Willow said “ Don’t care , come on “ Dennis cast World travel and started asking her mom all about what she and Saver wants .
“ Oh , that is a very high demand “ Dennis said “ I don’t have time to advertise the website , but I can just slap in the offer about it being the ability to skip waiting time “
‘ For Saver’s sake , I won’t give them the benefit of conditioning how long they have to wait ‘ “ Do you really need this server room , Dennis ? “ her mother ask thinking about it occupying one of Dennis’s rooms that could’ve been used as something more personal .
“ Yes , mainly because Saver said it was very cramped to move through technology , so I thought it would be better to have a server where they can do the Saving and Loading “
“ Then you better lock that room properly , I wouldn't want it to be destroyed after you asked so much from me “ “ I know “ ‘ Saver might’ve gotten infected by my desire for growth that they are wishing for it too ‘
Dennis can imagine how hard it is to keep up with her , but because Saver was the manifestation of her gift , she knew that they likely were way ahead of her in terms of growth .
‘ They have filled up holes in my understanding of how to Save ‘ Dennis recalls how Saver wants to grow food from the gourmet world and had already asked her mom for help .
‘ She is so gonna make me go to that gathering of those marriage candidates , after all that I’m asking from her ... But Saver deserves a reward even if that reward is made off my back ‘
She sighed and thought of what to do now that there was nothing else to do ‘ I plan to go to that world to learn more practical knowledge than what my program was offering . ‘
She checks the websites to see that the world she was aiming for already had a lot of roots present in its digital infrastructure . There were a lot of plans to exchange students , but she didn’t want to move to their world , as she had moved to this apartment from her hometown .
‘ I just need a measurement for my abilities and access to courses and literature about biology , physics and everything about the world so I can properly use Piko’s Viscraft . It is a very interesting ability , I can keep others in a horrific state while they live . ‘
...
On Monday , Dennis takes a quick trip to the testing facility of that brain world , which she had placed in her list “ You are quite shameful to just write brain world on it , don’t you know it has a name ? “
“ I know , but usually when a world is named , it’s usually the synonym of dirt they stand on , so I am doing this world’s culture more justice by using the world’s main attraction “
“ Do you name my world the Elf World because of me “ “ You are not the main attraction , you know “ “ I know , but you name your world My world instead of Up world , despite its main selling point being upper mobility “
“ Oh , that is a good idea , I’ll consider it “ “ Knowing you , you probably already know about the idea “ “ Maybe “ Dennis said and she filled up her personal information .
“ Now just enter the pod and make sure you release all of your enhancements and reductions for a proper grading “ Saver slowly removes Slowpoke and Dennis gave a thumbs up and the pod closes .
Willow didn’t really look at the numbers , but instead she paid attention to the people and from what she could tell . They were very impressed , they even started writing notes done wondering how a citizen from a world that hardly has any good features other than being affected by the gift phenomenon and having great upper mobility .
“ Isn’t her ability used to Save time and Load it for later ? “ ‘ They are all confused , but I am sure they won’t even be able to keep track of how much she is doing . ‘
Dennis completes the test and checks the courses that she could access through the bracelet she rented .
She filtered it out with a search engine and found a lot of available resources for her to bring home ‘ It cost a lot ‘ she checked the offers and found that she has a scholarship offer supported by both her world and this one’s .
‘ Perfect , I’ll apply ‘ she also finds out another offer , which wants to research how she achieves such processing speed ‘ It’s funded by both worlds too ‘ she sees an AI being used to handle it , while on her side , there was likely some office responsible for advancing the world of hers .
She agreed to the scholarship and the research offer . The scholarship was quick to acquire , all she had to do was fill out the information ‘ Now for the research ‘ she sat by a cafe and got a seat and coffee .
She cast her privacy bubble and entered , logged into a platform and an online meeting was initiated “ Thank you , Dennis Debrah , for accepting this research offer “ a professor from her world said .
“ Thanks from our end too “ a polite and automated voice said and asked “ Let’s start simple , do you know why you can process information quickly ? “ “ I abused my Save and Load skill to create a slowpoke effect , which has trained my senses and brain to adapt to high-speed thinking as the world moved faster “
“ So , a creative use of your Save and Load skill ? “ the prof asked and Dennis nodded “ If you want to give this slowpoke effect to train others , we can , but it requires a lot of work in terms of managing schedule so that their biological clocks don’t get messed up and I’m already making a website that stretches my ability for others to use as long as they have good internet connection “
“ You can lend others your ability ? “ the prof asked “ Yeah , but right now it’s only all about skipping waiting time by Saving time and Loading it for later . My only plan to help their biological clock was that they cannot Save their time to Load tomorrow “
“ Are you looking for funding for the project ? “ “ Not really , I’m just saying that I already have a website that’s going to be made , but it’s not good enough to implement the slowpoke effect yet “
“ What will it take to be able to allow the rest of the population to use this Slowpoke effect ? “ The professor asked “ A lot really , because it just trains you to react faster . Since this Slowpoke also Saves time for the user , I plan to make them Load their time before the day is over however , how they use the website or maybe app will affect their processing speed “
“ So , your methods of achieving this reaction speed are simply putting yourself in an environment that moves at a different speed of time compared to you ? “ Dennis nodded .
“ It comes with a lot of downsides , like the messed-up biological clock and I have to manage how much time I should be sleeping . In fact , it’s very difficult to handle it and I would require more sleep just so that my brain could take a rest and readjust , but I haven’t really checked and since my ... Ahem , Doctor has said that I was very healthy , I didn’t mind it much “
“ So that could be the reason why your speed data almost matches that of the speedsters “ The AI said “ I guess “ ‘ I am just as fast as the speedsters ? No , probably not that fast ‘
“ What do you think of taking a scholarship here so that we can better analyze the data ? “ The AI asked , but the professor quickly shot down the offer for Dennis “ I don’t think so , Miss Dennis . Here is a student studying a major in our culture and history “
‘ I only took that because it was the only way to keep me inside and so I don’t go out of my world ‘ “ But I am here to get a few courses to take back home , I plan to learn like a polymath and learn as much as I can in case that major I get is not good enough “
“ Then , how about this arrangement “ another offer appears in Dennis’s bracelet and she reads it quickly “ This is generous and seems to match with our data privacy act “ “ Only because I pushed the offer to benefit you and to leave the decision to disclose the data the bracelet gathers to you “ the professor said .
“ We would also like the data that you gather so we may add it to our more natural options for improving processing speed and capacity “ ‘ All the money in that scholarship was instantly spent , but at least I get something to check my body’s condition , Saver will have more time working on things they like ‘
“ Alright then , I’ll go check the libraries to see what courses I can take home “ ‘ I’ll be taking quite a lot for it ‘ the meeting closes and Dennis pops the bubble to see Willow beside her , drinking some coffee .
“ How did it go ? “ “ Great , but I’ll need to get myself an upgrade . “ Dennis tells Willow what she was offered “ You really are showing off as soon as you get your world travel permits “
“ Only because it’s what I really want and it gives us time to get back to class “ “ Then care to tell why you chose culture and history as a major ? “ “ The outside is dangerous , isn’t your sister proof of that ? “
“ I guess you're right , she’s lucky she didn’t get her organs harvested by some freaks . Maybe you feel that you are in that kind of danger , so you applied for a guard as a gift holder ? “
