Miyuki's story
Volume 1-An honour student in a fantasy world
Chapter 1-A Strange New World
Miyuki had just changed clothes into her nightwear; feeling tired after a long day of training with Yakumo Sensei at the temple. She just got into her bed closing her eyes letting herself drift to sleep, it was the summer holidays with no prior arrangements the next morning, so she decided to let herself oversleep a little. At some point during the night a loud humming noise woke her up, looking at the time she saw it was 3:24am. The noise came from the basement which should be sound proof, beginning to worry about Tatsuya she put on her robe and as she was about to exit her room a sudden loud noise mixed with psions hit her unconscious. "Onii-sama..." whispered out Miyuki as she fell to the floor.
Waking up she found herself in a white room as far as she can see, instinctively moving her hand to her cad and making a defensive posture, but to her surprise the cad shaped bracelet on her wrists wasn't responding and she was unable to release psions. Thinking of what happened to her she recalled a surge of psions hitting her then she lost consciousness. Then it hit her, the psions where her own, the psions she was forced to use by her aunt the head of the Yotsuba family, Yotsuba Maya, to suppress her beloved Onii-sama’s power. Miyuki’s face suddenly turned pale, the fact that her connection to Tatsuya was severed, scared, she was alone, always knowing that Tatsuya was looking over her gave her security. But now he was not, and she was alone in an endless white world. The only way that Tatsuya could cause her psion to return to her like that was if he was dead, no longer in the same world as him.....
While Miyuki’s mind was copulating all this she heard a voice.
The scan on your iris and veins has determined you are a new user.
-Would you like to make a new account?-
Unable to determine the location of the voice she decides to play along and see how the situation plays out.
"Yes" she replied in a slightly aggressive tone.
-Select the name of your Avatar-
"Shiba Miyuki"
Confused at the statement she assumed that they had mistranslated name as avatar. Leading her to believe a forum government is responsible for the situation she was in.
-Select your gender from male, female or neutral-
"Female" Miyuki said in a now confused tone.
-Royal Road has forty-nine races. You may select your race from the primary twenty-nine races-
"Human" Miyuki resigned herself, feeling defeated unable to understand the situation.
-You may alter your appearance-
A mirror image of herself appeared in front of her, a slight temptation slithered into Miyuki’s mind but was quickly rejected, what if Onii-sama didn't recognise me.
"My appearance is fine"
-Your account has been activated....The scan of your brain shows unrecognisable patterns. Please wait while a more detailed scan is done. Your avatar stats and skills will be altered to match your capabilities. Further stats and class shall be determined while you are playing Royal Road-
-Select a city and kingdom you want to start.-
Thinking it was another miss translation miyuki said "Japan, Tokyo"
-Kingdom with highest Japanese influence chosen, central continent kingdom of heaven-
-Welcome to Royal Road-
Miyuki went through the tutorial and began to understand, she was not on the planet she knew. This wold was called the Versatiles content where beasts and fairy roamed and the natives had primitive technology. After the tutorial was over, Miyuki eyes shined with hope and a new will to fight to find her beloved Onii-sama. As she was teleported to the city square various people stopped what they were doing to look at the beauty that appeared before them. Miyuki unaffected by the onlookers talked to the nearest person, a young man with a decent looking set of armour for directions to the library. Leaving after she got the information. Little did she know that she had just left the highest level player frozen by her beauty, the game had been out for 3 weeks (3 months in game time) and he had been playing day and night to achieve a level of 74.
Miyuki happily walking to the library she suddenly heard a voice.
"Miyuki"
"Onii-sama" miyuki said while doing a twirl to find him. Unable to find him she was confused and scared but tears of joy dripped down her eyes. In her heart she was happy he was alive.
Tatsuya began explaining that they had been warped to a different plane of existence. (Sparing her the advance quantum calculations he did to arrive at the conclusion *ahem ruthlessly torturing a player for info but that will be in Tatsuya’s story*)
He then continued to say that they could communicate telepathically because they were blood related, explaining all the stats windows and inventory windows to Miyuki. Tatsuya had found out this was a game from a different reality but didn’t want to burden his little sister with that fact so he decided he would not mention it until he had a solution.
Miyuki found out that Tatsuya was in the neighbouring kingdom, the kingdom of Kallamore and that there was 4 weeks before they could leave the city’s protection. They agreed that Tatsuya would come finder after the 4 weeks was over and until then she should research about the land in the library and get stronger at the training centre. Tatsuya’s interrogations got him lots of information on how to get stronger.
Lastly he explained to her that this world does have magic and that psions can’t be seen and don’t directly affect the information dimension, they interact with mana a magical substance that each body holds and your body can regenerate mana. The mana is not bound by the laws of thermodynamics and other properties like their world. The mana interacts with the edos and is capable of rewriting phenomenon’s with very simple activation rituals so there is no need for a CAD because Miyuki should be able to learn the highest levels of spells in this world with ease. Also if she does do spells that follow the rules of physics the mana cost and mental stress is a lot less.
Curious about mana, before heading into the library she back tracked to a park she saw a while back. Walking through a small field of grass she found a tree and sat under it and said
"Status Window", a small slightly transparent screen appeared before her.

Satisfied Miyuki closed the window and focused psions into mana, after a while she had gotten the hang of it she began to direct the mana through he circulatory system increasing her metabolism and strengthening her body. A window appeared confirming her success.
Tiring
Magical reinforcement is active; mana will be consumed 4/s
Stats have been increased while active
Due to the nature of reinforcement satiety will drop slightly faster wile active
Due to spell efficiency mana cost reduced by 5%- 3.75 mana/s will be used while active
Even though this world didn’t follow the laws of physics and she could strengthen her body without the increase in metabolism. It was much easier for her to use the theory behind spells other than fantasy.
Due to her high wisdom, intelligence and large mana pool she could keep the spell active for almost minuets, she continuously activated it during the day gaining experience. Then she set off to complete her original goal the library. She entered seeing an old man with a monocle over his left eye at the reception desk, she asked the old librarian for advice. Miyuki was directed to the section on the history of the Versitiles along with book on magics and ancient magics. She gathered over 30 books and carried them with a levitation spell and a series of directional acceleration and decelerations to an open table at the back of the library. This was possible because she knew the complex activation rituals for these magic’s without a CAD. But this would normally be an impossible phenomenon because of psion interference in the information dimension caused when multiple activation sequences are used on a single object. But with the use of mana which affects the edos directly this is bypassed. Furthermore Miyuki’s was originally only able to target a max of 17 objects, but because she was no longer restricting Tatsuya’s mind she is able to use her full potential.
While beginning to read she received several notifications of experience gains in mana manipulation and a level up in Magical reinforcement. Ignoring them she began to study the history of the continent learning all she could, at several points during the day she received notifications of stats and experience gains but ignoring them she continued. Eventually she was hungry opening up her inventory she consumed half a piece of barely bread and had a small sip of water from her canteen. Feeling refreshed she was about to continue when there was a young man staring at her from opposite the table with a displeased face.
“can I help you?” asked Miyuki politely
But all she got was a rude response from the young man
“Get out” he said angrily
“May I ask why?” Miyuki said while getting up and was about to start putting the books back when suddenly,
*POW*
A large object hit the young man on the head making him fall forwards head first into a chair. Looking over to the right she was the monocle librarian casually walking toward them.
“Forgive my rude nephew he gets angry at visitors who eat at the library.”
“No sir it’s my fault for not following the rules here, please forgive me” Miyuki bent over and bowed to the old man.
Moved by the respect she showed him, a smile grew on his face.
“Now that’s a rare site such a polite young lady, don’t worry about it, there are no specific rules against eating here it’s just my nephew is hot-headed and doesn’t like visitors”
He continued
“It looks like you’re going to be here for a while with all those books you’ve carried here, why don’t you join us for lunch and dinner every day as an apology”
Miyuki replied formally
“I’m sorry I couldn’t possibly burden you so much over a small misunderstanding…”
Stopping her he wasn’t going to take no for an answer (perverted old monocle man likes the ladies)
“In that case how about I make you run errands for me during the day and as a reward you can eat with us, ill even pay you a little”
Stolen story; please report.
Triing
Quest
Run errands for the old man as long as you stay in the library
Difficulty level: E
Requirements: Aesthetically pleasing appearance and the books your reading peak the interest of the old man.
Rewards:
1 silver per errand
Eat your meals with the old man and his nephew while you are at the library
Failure: loss of friendship with the old librarian and possible banned form the library
Will you accept the quest?
“Ok” said Miyuki, there were no downs to the quest and she would get to eat better food.
Quest has been accepted
Realising that she hadn’t introduced herself yet she made a small bow and said
“Shiba Miyuki, nice to meet you”
“You can call me Mo” said the old man still grinning
Jumping off the floor the young man bowed and with an apologetic look said
“I’m Mike, nice to meet you”
Mike was blushing furiously before all he had heard was munching from behind a stack of books never seeing Miyuki’s face. After introducing himself he quickly walked away embarrassed and started to organise some books. Mo returned back to his reception desk with a satisfied look.
Over the next two weeks Miyuki ran errands for Mo and enjoyed delicious meal made by Mike who was surprisingly a cook. Meanwhile she was reading and absorbing massive amounts of knowledge from the library. Tatsuya kept calling her regularly 2-3 times a day which kept her happy and motivated. With the proceeds from the errands she used as lodgings for a small in with a view of the park she found when she first arrived on this continent.
Through her research and conversations with Mo, (who turned out to be a famous archmage back in the day) she figured out that “visitors” as the residence called them started appearing on the continent a mere 3 months before she appeared. But unable to find any detail why and the number of “visitors” seemed to increase constantly troubled her. The old man help Miyuki a lot with creating new activation sequences because of his vast knowledge of magic, but he did say that the method of using psions a sequence of data to manipulate mana to invoke magic was unheard of but surprisingly faster and more powerful than incantations and skill activations.
With collaboration of Tatsuya Miyuki and Mo they had simplified a lot of complicated activation sequences to simple magic circles. This meant that the only activation sequence she needed to know what the one to manipulate mana to a magic circle which would then activate when it’s completed. And 2 of the magic circles were saved so that she could do them automatically thanks to her skill mana manipulation.
Her stats and skills had vastly improved over the 2 weeks; also she had learned a couple more useful skills and a title due to her high charisma and always seen doing errands for Mo.
Lastly After 2 weeks the head librarian who she had never seen suddenly came up to her and said Congratulation you are the first visitor to pass the basic intellectual training.

Because of being the first she received bonus points. The wizard then proceeded to give her a basic staff but then he noticed the skill/stat window she had open.

Surprised at what he saw, he said
“wait here”
He ran away franticly and returned with a long clear white staff, immediately handing it over to Miyuki who accepted it while confused at the situation.
Ancient bone tree staff
Said to be made from a magical tree. This tree spent its life fighting monsters with magic, to survive in the south of the continent. Eventually the bone of the dead monsters was absorbed by the tree turning it white and as hard as the strongest bone. After thousands of years the land dried up to become a desert and the tree died. A staff was made from its remnants by a baby dragon.
The staff contains the will of the tree to survive.

Quickly reading all the information in front of her from the endless window pop ups. As expected of an honour student she grasp the situation instantly and a smile formed on her face she had received a powerful hidden class.
"I'm relieved I wasn't wrong, that staff been passed down my family for generation and now that it has chosen you as its successor, I can bestow upon you the burden that has cursed our family" said the head Liberian while crazily laughing "good luck" he shouted as he ran away.
Miyuki’s look turned sour the she heard a familiar sound.

Quest
The magical bone tree is said to be related to the mother of all Yggdrasil, before the tree died he launched a seed to cause the rebirth of the Yggdrasil tree far into the continent. The tree never grew and no one knew what happened to the seed. Find the seed and plant it in a fertile area. It is rumoured that the church's feared the power of the seed and sealed it away.
Difficulty: A
Profession related quest cannot be denied.
Failure at death
Failure will cause all plants to aggressively attack you and your family
Reward:
Bone tree staff true form will be revealed.
More rewards depend on the outcome of the quest.
Miyuki from all the books she had read knew the influence of the church and that this was not going to be an easy task. Talking it through with Tatsuya they decided that it was not necessary to actively pursue the quest for now. Agreeing with him Miyuki decided to ignore the quest and head the training centre to complete the basic training program which Tatsuya recommended she do.
Before she went to the training centre she decided to buy a pure white robe from the local Taylor which went extremely well with the elegant looking bone staff and her slim body line, making her look like a majestic priestess. When she got to the training centre onlookers were flabbergasted at the beautiful priestess using what looked like combat skills ruthlessly on a wooden scarecrow.
Author's note: This story is a working progress, and criticism is welcomed id like to improve the story as much as possible. I am currently on chapter 5 of Miyukis story and have yet to start on Tatsuyas. Chapters will be released as soon as i can edit my dyslexic writing to make sense to everyone else. Also read Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei to understand this FF.
Thank you for reading
Edit: Changed the magical reinforcement, She cannot have it active all day because of the mana regen stops when a skill is active *thank you Pyre* 2000/3.75/60 ~9 mins
