Today I continued to refine the mana berry bush, I need to come up with a better name than that. I made pretty good progress overall.

I was thinking about why I was gaining so much progress with Solar Energy recently when it struck me, quite literally in fact. That rock smashed my nose, easy enough to fix but still painful. The answer is Fate.

See, recently I’ve been putting as much effort as my limited resources allow into developing my abilities with Solar Energy, that includes burning my Fate in a way that I think will help with that. I think this more or less proves my theory that Fate works in my immediate situation and desires more often than random chance would normally allow. Or maybe it’s just that there are a lot more things that will directly and subjectively improve something around me? Either way, it means that I can try to manipulate it. 

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

For the foreseeable future, I’m going to try to boost my Fate somehow using this method. I don’t really see a way that I can make my surroundings have more opportunities for boosting Fate, so instead, every day when I go to burn my Fate I will think about Fate and try to come up with an idea on how to utilize it better, or something like that. 

While I dislike the inherently chaotic nature of Fate I can see how it can be useful, I just wish I had more control over it. Even if all I could do is ensure a better than even chance that whatever positive effect that happens will benefit my current project that would go a long way to helping me out. 

Other than that not a lot happened. The rock that hit my face was thrown by Tiddol’s daughter while she was messing around, so no harm done. Well, other than my broken nose, but that’s easy to fix.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
