CH.443 Miasma Dosimeter
<span style="font-weight:400">I guess I’ll start this chapter off the same way asst one. Well, this is more of an update on my teleporting capabilities.
<span style="font-weight:400">I can now reliably use Teleport to Seal without losing parts of myself, but bringing objects with me is still a bit questionable. And no, I haven’t tried with another person yet, but after I get the teleport with an object down, I will.
<span style="font-weight:400">I’ve also been trying Short Teleport. As I said in thest chapter, it is a bit more advanced, because I have to use my vision to basically calcte the rtive coordinates I want to teleport to. Figuring that part out wasn’t too bad, especially since Laura can help me calcte the coordinates, so Short Teleport wasn’t that much more than Teleport to Seal.
<span style="font-weight:400">And once I get that down to the point where it is 100% percent reliable, I can teleport behind someone and Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru them.
<span style="font-weight:400">But yeah. Teleportation … is difficult. I always took it for granted because of HomeBase, but it really isn’t as simple asmanding a dungeon to do it for you.
<span style="font-weight:400">Other than that, one more important thing hase to be. And it is something rted to the dimensional fissures. And no, a new one isn’t going to appear, as far as I know.
<span style="font-weight:400">But instead, this one is about the dimensional barrier observers I set all across the Kingdom when I nted all of those flower beds. They have finally collected enough data where the WDBDD can be made. And yes, I still haven’t renamed the weakening dimensional barrier detection device. Sure it could be called the dimensional fissure detector, but I’m not sure that is much better. Or maybe the miasma blob detector, as officially I do call dimensional fissures miasma blobs.
<span style="font-weight:400">And since I did officially call the original ones miasma detectors, maybe I should call them something rted to that.
<span style="font-weight:400">Like … Miasma Spike Detectors? … that doesn’t sound all that good.
<span style="font-weight:400">Miasma Dosimeter? Would that work? I know miasma isn’t radiation, but it isn’t like the people in this world know what radiation is.
<span style="font-weight:400">Yeah. I think I like the name miasma dosimeter, or MD for short. … No. That won’t work. MD could also stand for mana detector, or a million other things. It is a bit too generic. MsDm? I think that is better, but … I don’t know.
<span style="font-weight:400">I just need a simple name for it, so that when the miasma dosimeter at a guild spikes, they can send a message that their dosimeter is spiking, which could be a pre-sign of a fissure.
<span style="font-weight:400">And even if it isn’t a pre-sign for a fissure, something strange will still be going on in that area for the miasma to spike. Be it a monster evolution or a miasma storm.
<span style="font-weight:400">I guess I can exin that away very quickly. Miasma storm is exactly what it sounds like. It is an abnormal amount of miasma circling around an area, causing multiple monsters to evolve and likely go on a rampage. Because of that, miasma storms often lead to monster stampedes.
<span style="font-weight:400">Usually miasma doesn’t cause a storm like that, as it is just slowly pulled towards the closest dungeon, but sometimes strange things can happen.
<span style="font-weight:400">But miasma storms aren’t all bad either. Because sometimes, instead of having monsters evolve, they cause a dungeon to form. But again, that is like a 1% chance in a 1% chance, so I wouldn’t exactly consider it a reliable way of making new dungeons.
<span style="font-weight:400">Anyway. Miasma storms and shortened names aside, I’ll finish the prototype for my miasma dosimeter and head over to the Dragon’s coast. Lady Janina can help me test it.
<span style="font-weight:400">And yes. I did get her to admit that she does use miasma as a way of boosting her power. But she doesn’t want to teach me how to do that, as it can be incredibly dangerous, even with the protection of the System. At least not yet. Not until I know how to protect myself without having to rely on the System.
<hr>
<span style="font-weight:400">Naturallying to the Dragon’s coast means ytime with the dragons, which I’m always happy to do.
<span style="font-weight:400">And because I got Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry recently, I decided to go with all Winged Beasts today. Raiza the Storm Monarch, Roc from the Valley of Haze, Storm Shooter, Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys and my two Simorghs being the six monsters I summoned.

<span style="font-weight:400">While the birds yed with the dragons, Lady Janina helped me test out the miasma dosimeter. And it was working perfectly.
<span style="font-weight:400">When the background miasma is at normal levels, which I took from the data the miasma blob detectors collected, the device will give a reading of 1.0. If the levels go down, the reading goes down towards zero, but if the levels go up, the number goes up.
<span style="font-weight:400">The standard deviation is about 0.1, so anything between 0.9 to 1.1 is perfectly normal. If the numbers go lower than 0.9, that could mean a few things. Mainly a new dungeon has formed and has thrown the miasma bnce off, or maybe there is something that can draw miasma to itself. Which could be a monster undergoing a longer evolution.
<span style="font-weight:400">So while miasma going down isn’t itself a bad thing, it is something you should investigate, as it could be a sign of something bad. But also good, because new dungeons are always good.
<span style="font-weight:400">On the other hand if the levels go up … well, I already exined miasma storms, so I don’t think I need to repeat myself.
<hr>
<span style="font-weight:400">“Alright, Brian. We yed with your little toy. Now it is time for some training.” Lady Janina said, after we tested the miasma dosimeter. “And since you are here, we are doing something special today. Get out that card of yours. The one that turns you into a dragon.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Okay..?” I somewhat questioned Lady Janina’s idea, because outside of the first time, she has never ordered me to use DNA Surgery. In fact, she said I shouldn’t use it, so that I don’t be reliant on it. But since she ordered me to use it, I will.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">So I activated DNA Surgery, picking Dragon, and both of us transformed into our dragon forms.
<span style="font-weight:400">But my DNA Surgery dragon form was a bit different from my Draconic Body dragon form. With DNA Surgery in y, my dragon form is just slightly more pronounced, and I even have a nice pair of wings, which I don’t currently have, unless I really focus with Draconic Body.
<span style="font-weight:400">Wings are difficult, okay? Extra limbs are always a challenge. A tail is somewhat instinctual, but wings not so much.
<span style="font-weight:400">{Good. Now, we will get you used to your wings. And consider yourself lucky I’m not taking you to the skies and throwing you down to do that. Because I know you’d just use some skill instead of the wings. So instead, you are going to be running a quick course. Without using any skills.}
<span style="font-weight:400">Lady Janina then used some Earth Magic to make me a basic obstacle course. It had plenty of long jumps, which would be impossible without at least gliding with my wings.
<span style="font-weight:400">{Well, you may use your Draconic skills, but other than that, no skills.}
<span style="font-weight:400">{... You do realize that Mana Control is a skill.}
<span style="font-weight:400">{Humans and your skills. Do you need a skill for everything? Next you’ll tell me that you have a skill for breathing.}
<span style="font-weight:400">{There is one for breathing underwater.}
<span style="font-weight:400">{That I can’t me you on. Even dragons, except water dragons, need to learn how to breathe underwater.}
<span style="font-weight:400">{But you aren’t buying yourself any more time! Get on that course and you’d better make good time.} Lady Janinamanded. {Or next time, I’lle up with something worse to make you stronger.}
<span style="font-weight:400">I naturally did as ordered. Not because I was really scared of what would happen, but because I did want to get better. And I love my draconic skills, so I definitely want to get better with them.
<span style="font-weight:400">The course was difficult, mainly because of the ‘no skills’ rule. Because of that, I couldn’t assist my movement with Telekinesis or Mana Flight.
<span style="font-weight:400">But I was able topensate for that with a bit of Draconic Magic. Mainly a type of body reinforcement magic called Draconic Boost. It might be just a slight stat buff, but even that helps.
<span style="font-weight:400">Trying to glide with my wings on the other hand … well, it was something. I could do it, but … it is like giving me a hand glider and expecting me to know how to use it straight away.
<span style="font-weight:400">Meaning that I fell more than once. But it did make me realize that I need more training like this. And what I mean by that is training that doesn’t rely on my already existing skills that much.
<span style="font-weight:400">I mean, when I got Tough ws, Rending ws and Mana de, I wasn’t actively using any skill, except Mana Control. But often when I train, I just use three to four skills at the same time. I just need to realize that focused training is best training.
<hr>
<span style="font-weight:400">After running the course a sufficient number of times, Lady Janina had me deactivate DNA Surgery. That naturally resulted in me transforming back into a human, only to be ordered to transform right back, and this time, I’d better have my wings.
<span style="font-weight:400">And indeed I did have my wings. I don’t know if it was because I got used to them during thest hour and half or just the pressure of not disappointing Lady Janina, but I had my wings and it was nice.
<span style="font-weight:400">I then ran the obstacle course again and it was just a bit more difficult than before. Because I still had to focus on keeping my dragon form. Using a skill, even one that is basically a transformation, does take a bit of effort, so I had to use a bit of focus on that.
<span style="font-weight:400">But at the same time, I was now used to the course, so I didn’t have to use Draconic Boost any more. I was also better at gliding and didn’t fall on my snout as many times.
<span style="font-weight:400">By the time we finally finished, I was tired and ready to go home, but I did have something to leave here. A seal te for my Teleport to Seal spell. It will just be nice to have.
<span style="font-weight:400">So I handed one to Lady Janina and asked her to put it into a ce I can teleport to.
<span style="font-weight:400">After that,rgely because the supreme dragon was basically challenging me to do it, I decided to be dumb and teleport home with Teleport to Seal. I knew it was a bad idea, so I made sure to warn Lua before I did it, but I still decided to just go for it.
<span style="font-weight:400">YOLO, right? Unless Monster Reborns are involved. Then you can live multiple times.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Space, Take me to the ce I’ve marked, Teleport to Seal.” I chanted, before I disappeared from the Dragon coast.
<hr>
<span style="font-weight:400">And like I somewhat predicted, something went wrong with the teleport.
<span style="font-weight:400">Because for some reason, I’m in the air falling towards the ground. But at least I didn’t seem to be injured.
<span style="font-weight:400">I quickly used Draconic Body and turned into my dragon form, before using my wings to turn my fall into a controlled glide.
<span style="font-weight:400">I then looked around, realizing that I was very close to Alewatch, and when I looked up, I saw HomeBase floating where I’d left it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Using a mix of my wings and Mana Flight, I flew upwards towards HomeBase and eventuallynded.
<span style="font-weight:400">Basically as soon as I did, I got a people running to me. Lua wasing to make sure I was okay, and Magie had something she urgently needed to say.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Master Brian. Someone tried to use a long range spell on HomeBase. Likely a spying spell of some kind. It was blocked by the barrier, and diverted, but you need to know it happened.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh? So that is why my teleport failed.” I said, mostly to myself.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Your teleport?” Magie questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah. I tried to return home with Teleport to Seal, but instead I ended up outside the HomeBase barrier. I didn’t even consider it because I can teleport here with the dungeon. But yeah, the barrier wouldn’t be able to identify me if I use long range teleportation magic. Something I need to work on.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ah! I see. Good to know, Master. I shall inform Endy of this.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah. Make sure we don’t have any emergency forces deployed because of my mistake or something.” I told her.
<span style="font-weight:400">I then had Lua check me over, and she was sufficiently happy that my impulsive tendencies didn’t cause any harm. But she was still disappointed that I decided to teleport from that far of a distance. Without telling anyone.
<span style="font-weight:400">I ended the day by checking my status, because I had a feeling at least something had changed.
