Today i continued reading, obviously. But the story had taken a slightly darker turn, this was the point that Origin had started to fall. At first they didn’t realize what was happening, they were just dying off one at a time, and fewer were being born. It was a relatively normal occurrence for origin to just die, they weren't immortal after all, nor was their society perfect and free from strife. It wasn’t until there was a noticeable decrease in their populations that they realized something was wrong, and by the time the figured it out they were too late.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

See the key to their downfall was mana, or more specifically to much mana. See their bodies of magical glowing light could only handle so much mana before they burned up, and they had no way of regulating their intake of mana. They wouldn’t notice anything happening unless they were looking for it, they would just feel like they were getting more powerful faster than they should.

And that’s as far as i got today. Knowing that they aren’t going to bounce back from that is kind of depressing.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
