Chapter 34

It was bad – worse than he thought was possible, in fact.

As soon as Larek passed what he assumed was the border of the Sealance Empire, which was designated by a change in the environment rather than by any posted signs or other obvious landmarks, he realized immediately that he was going to have some issues.

That was because Lowenthal was a desert – or at least the portion close to the Empire’s land was a desert.

Sand stretched out as far as the eye could see to the east, with dunes breaking up the monotony of absolutely no visible environmental landmarks anywhere; it was simply a vast stretch of nothing as far as he could tell. Based on his map, which was extremely lacking in detail, the sand could stretch for a few miles or the entire length of the country? Nation? Uninhabited area? He wasn’t exactly sure, and he again regretted not asking anything about it while he had the chance, thinking that he would be able to pass through it without any trouble.

It wasn’t the heat of the desert during the day that was the problem, even though it was hot. A quick stop for the production of a Temperature Regulator that he was able to keep on his person was enough to alleviate the extreme heat that affected even him with his high Body stat. It wasn’t unbearable without the Fusion, only uncomfortable, but if he was going to be traveling through the desert, he might as well be as comfortable as possible.

It also wasn’t the brightness of the sunlight, which seemed to reflect off the sand like tiny mirrors if he looked at it the wrong way. It was annoying but not debilitating, and he eventually learned to squint and adjusted to the brightness after a few hours of travel.

The random gusts of hot wind that seemed to come from nowhere, kicking up sand that got inside his clothes and did its best to infiltrate his facial orifices, were also highly annoying, until he pulled out an extra shirt he’d obtained all the way back in Swiftwater from his pack and wrapped it around his head. Leaving only a small space to see through, the protection helped keep sand from entering his ears, nose, mouth, and – for the most part – his eyes, while also helping to reduce the strain of the bright sunlight reflecting off the sand.

All of those added up together were bad enough, but they still didn’t cause him too many issues. Solutions to alleviate most of the uncomfortable portions of traveling through a desert were able to be found, including a quick realization that the dry air was making him extremely thirsty. Utilizing a very weak version of his Water Stream Fusion, which was normally designed to be used offensively at higher Magnitudes, Larek was able to use the Fusion on a spare stone he had in his belt to shoot a stream of water into a stone traveling cup he'd been carrying around with him.
