As it turns out, you get a new ID if you’re a climber. This new ID lets you get alcohol regardless of your age. With the money, we earned today Tyler bought 10 bottles of vodka. His goal was to drink a total of 5 bottles with me. We drank 7.
I woke up with the worst headache I’ve ever had, In a place, I’ve never been. Groaning I sat up and, against my better judgment, made a tier 0 create water spell. Then made a small ball of water to drink. Looking around I paled, where was I?
It was someone’s room, overall it looked plain but there were some family photos. I guessed it was a guest room. Looking over I check to see if someone was in bed with me. Thankfully, there wasn’t and it looked like it was only me.
Now that I wasn’t in danger I saw I had some notifications. Checking them I got even more confused.
[CREATED SPELL ‘SEE TOLD YOU I COULD’ - TO BE HONEST, I DON’T KNOW WHAT THIS SPELL DOES - SAME WITH MANA COSTS - CREATED BY Scholar of the First Curse Zain]
[FOR THE STABILITY OF THE SYSTEM DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN, SPELL WAS NOT COPIED]
[ADDED SPELL ‘LESSER MINOR CREATE WATER’ - CAN CREATE A 10CM DIAMETER SPHERE OF WATER - COSTS 1 MANA - CREATED BY Water Goddess Yuile]
The water spell made sense, there was no way I was the first to make it. The other one though scared me on a primal level. What did I make, It had to work at least once for the system to recognize it. So how did it not know the values?
Well, there was no time like the present so I cast the spell. I did hold it long enough to see if it was destructive. It wasn’t, but what it did do was disrupt the system. My system started to bug out when I cast it. After a minute it started to work again. That was both disconcerting and exciting.

Getting off the bed, I got dressed and then opened the door, to see someone I didn’t know making breakfast. She looked up and saw me waved and said, “Hey your friend hasn’t gotten up yet, care for some breakfast. Come sit down.”
Obeying I sat down at the table. I look around and fear starts growing in my heart. She puts a plate in front of me and sits down. She looks at me and asks “Who taught you spellcraft?”
Damn it, I was right. There were photos of her in a mage's robe with a full party of climbers. I thought my damn luck was supposed to be good. Now I need to make a lie that would satisfy her. I went to open my mount. She stopped me saying, “And don’t think of lying, I have a skill for that. I also know you can make spells. I saw you do it last night.”
Well shit, there goes that. Knowing that she could probably kill me I told the truth, “I taught myself.” Her eyes widened and she checked to see if I was telling the truth. I was. Her smile widened and I knew I just made a mistake.
“I have an offer for you… what was your name again?” She said before Tyler barged into the room. I mouthed ‘she’s about to know who I am’ to Tyler hoping she couldn’t see. Tyler, super hungover, said, “Zain can you make a cure spell?” Face palming I slowly look over to the lady.
“Zain is it? Did I hear something about you being a curse master last night? Why don’t you make that spell Zain.” She said placing a large emphasis on my name.
“Well holy spells are the domain of” was as I got before she interrupted me. “Make the spell Zain.”
I quickly got to work and 20 minutes later I made it as she looked on in wonder. I cast it on Tyler, I may have made the spell hurt a lot, he gives a start. That was just one part of my payback if we make it out of here.
“How strong can you make a spell,” She asks me.
“Tier 1,” I say.
“That’s not true is it,” She says while moving her eyes to a corner of her vision.
I debated if Tyler would be fine with me killing her. I don’t think he’s ready for that, so I go for option two, memory spell. I quickly cast {Hex of Slowness} four times, making her dexterity go negative, and start making a new spell. Given that she can’t move or talk or anything and I am once again happy I learned how to cast spells without speaking or waving my hands. I’m trying to make a memory wiping spell. After 3 hours of Tyler being very uncomfortable, long sense cleaned up anything that might lead to her finding us. I finished the spell and cast it on her. After making sure it took hold long enough to wipe the memories of me and Tyler, we left.
