The Boundless Journey, Starting From Bofuri

As for Rikka upstairs, her situation was different. After her father’s sudden passing, she now lived with her older sister, Toka. However, Toka was the head chef at a restaurant and often worked late, so Rikka was home alone at this hour.

Earlier, she had considered sneaking out from the balcony to wander around, but the sudden invitation from the Reincarnation Space made her abandon that idea.

Now back, feeling the power and renewed energy in her body, she eagerly began testing the benefits gained from the Reincarnation Space...

First was the Mage’s initial skill, Fireball. She quickly conjured it but, worried about damaging the house, dissipated it immediately after forming it.

Next was her second offensive magic skill: Ice Arrow!

A frosty arrow slowly materialized above her. Under her control, it shot outward, disappearing from sight.

Compared to Fireball, Ice Arrow cost only 8 MP, had a 5-second cooldown in the game, dealt 25 fixed damage plus Spirit * 0.5 damage, and added 10 penetration effect...

In the real world, however, there was no cooldown, damage wasn’t fixed, and conjuring it wasn’t as instantaneous as in the game.

Besides Fireball and Ice Arrow, she had no other skills...

Her only piece of equipment was a plain robe, adding 5 points to Spirit and 5 to Defense...

Her biggest gain was the attribute bonuses. With the initial 100 points and the 21 points from leveling up, her current strength was decent.

At the very least, if she wasn’t afraid, she could handle several grown men using just physical combat.

...

In a small detached house, two figures suddenly materialized... Yui and Ui.

"Ui, we’re back!" Seeing the familiar room, Yui happily hugged Ui.

"Yes, Onee-chan, we’re home." Seeing her sister’s excited expression, Ui showed a fond smile.

When they were younger, Yui had been very reliable. But as they grew older, Ui became more mature and diligent, deeply loving her older sister.

Under such circumstances, with Ui constantly doting on Yui, Ui seemed more like the older sister, and Yui more like the younger one...

"Oh, the time! Did Mom and Dad call the police? And did I miss the first day of school?" Yui suddenly panicked.

"It’s still the first. Tomorrow is the first day of school. Only 33 minutes have passed. Takeru-kun was right," Ui quickly checked her phone and said happily.

"Really? That’s great!" Hearing Ui’s words, Yui finally sighed in relief.

"But the next activity is in ten days, right? That’s during school," Yui suddenly thought of something else and worried.

"There’s no choice. If necessary, we’ll have to ask for leave then," Ui said helplessly at Yui’s words.

"Whatever. You know, I’m a Mage now! Watch this, Fireball!" Yui quickly shook off her worries and said excitedly.

Seeing her sister’s rapid mood change, Ui could only shake her head. But seeing Yui no longer worried, she smiled.

"And this, Fire Blast!" Soon, the Fireball in Yui’s hand vanished, replaced by a larger, hotter Fire Blast skill.

"Onee-chan, stop! You’ll start a fire!" Seeing her sister daring to test Fire Blast indoors, Ui hurriedly warned.

"Ah, I forgot!" Hearing Ui’s reminder, Yui belatedly realized and canceled the skill.

"Honestly. And Takeru-kun also said we must never use these abilities casually in front of others," Ui reminded Yui again, seeing her carefree attitude.

"Hehe, don’t worry, I’ll be careful," Yui waved her hand dismissively at Ui’s warning.

Seeing Yui like this, Ui felt even more concerned. But since the future was uncertain, they could only take things one step at a time.

...

As for Yukino, after returning home, she quietly contemplated her new strength. While the future might hold endless danger, at least she was no longer ordinary...

Living alone, her thirty-minute disappearance went unnoticed. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

This transformation presented an opportunity to surpass her older sister.

But now, it seemed the main world was also changing. She hoped it wouldn’t become too severe.

If the Reincarnation Space summoned them every ten days, Yukino planned to work hard in reality as well. Since things learned in the Reincarnation Space could be brought back, the more she knew in reality, the better she could fare in future missions...

Moreover, she had a feeling that the Reincarnation Space wasn’t a charitable organization. If she became too complacent and her strength fell behind, it could cost her life.

Therefore, whether to surpass her sister or ensure her future safety, Yukino decided to train diligently...

The most important task now was to master the use of her power, to fully utilize 100% of her strength.

While using magic had no cooldown now, using it carelessly would deplete her mana.

Close combat might be unavoidable later. Since the Reincarnation Space gave them this chance to improve, future worlds would likely require force, perhaps even... killing.

The thought made Yukino’s heart race. Though she prayed she was overthinking, this feeling lingered.
