June 1 682 A.C
Hello again, future reader.
8:32 a.m It's Sunday today and that means no work.
I'm thinking today is a good day to go out and do something fun.
I usually don't do that much when I have nothing to do, I just stay home and relax, get some books, sometimes I even go swimming, even in the winter.
As you probably noticed, I started to get more into writing ever since I found this journal last week and made it my job to document everything,
and what better way to find more to write about, than to go outside and travel, and that's what I'm going to do today.
8:54 a.m I have been thinking about what if this journal runs out of pages, so to be safe and know how much I can actually write I have counted the pages.
The journal has 630 pages and including this documented day, I have already used up 9 of them.
My handwriting is rather small, so it's not a problem to use just one page per day,
if that works just like I said, I have almost two years of writing,
so I better write only the most important things, the future might need.
It's still weird to me to be writing to you, the reader, someone who might be thousands of years in the future.
9:10 a.m I'm on a boat right now, going down the biggest river there is in the country, it's a river that goes around the planet like a ring,
that's why it's called the ring river, and almost perfectly through the north and south poles.
People are talking about how the river might change, apparently, villages that are closer to the river are trying to make use of its current and it might be a lot different in the future if they reshape it.
I'm sure there are people out there that are capable of reshaping whole rivers.
The trip on the boat, even if around the planet is rather quick, it's pushed by water extension users at really high speeds. It takes about 90 days to go around the planet with multiple stations in between.
Today I'll stop at the first station, where a lot of big villages are located, it takes 3 hours to get there and then go back.
Sometimes I go two stations further, it takes a day to get there and go back home.
I never go into a city as I never have time for that, I just look at them from the outside. Maybe one day I'll have time to visit them.
While going down the river you get to see a lot of amazing buildings from the biggest villages there are in our region, I'm sure if I would take a longer trip I might see even better things.
Besides the really high towers and beautiful glass buildings, there are also villages with really high walls, even higher than the 20 meters high village 1 A walls,
I guess they just want to be isolated from the rest of the world or afraid of war, which is not rare in the country.
10:35 a.m Almost there and on my way, I saw something I have never seen before, it was rather funny.
Right in the middle of two mountains there seemed to be an area where people went through and then disappeared, I'm pretty sure it's an invisible village.
It has been either built by someone from our village or by someone with a branch of the light extension.
That's one thing I forgot to explain before, the branches of an extension are based on a stage, in the example of the invisible village,
someone might have an extension of the stage 5 light extension and that extension has more stages itself, I don't know what it would be called, but I'm sure the first person who had it gave it a name.
Sometimes I'm really jealous of all the useful abilities people have, but I guess they don't have an indestructible journal like me, haha.
11:40 a.m I went to get some food at a restaurant at the station and I'm already on my way back, I had to cross the river on another boat to take the main one that's going back.
When going back home, in the opposite direction of where I came from, I get to see the other side of the river and even more villages that I couldn't see from the other side.
At this point in time, the river is about a quarter of the diameter of the planet in width and it's constantly changing, sometimes it goes back by a lot,
but sometimes it rains heavily and it gets about 2 percent wider and causes people to move and sometimes it's more and causes some damage to villages. Luckily, our village is relatively far away from the river.
12:10 p.m I arrived a few minutes ago and now I'm on my way across the river once again to get to the side my village is on.
2:53 p.m Right after arriving at the village I went to the market to pick something to eat for tonight, I brought it home and now I am going to go swimming,
like most days I expect to be alone at the lake, especially in the winter where the water is colder.
It's not close to snowing yet, but soon the water will start freezing, in those times, fire extension users or water extension users help out at the ring river to keep it liquid during the winter.
9:40 p.m After I got out of the water, I went back home and finished my last report, they told me yesterday they needed one of all my conversations with any soldier I spoke to, I guess it's just protocol.
I went to the military library and submitted the report, I may not have had work today, but some people did, they get a free day on Saturday instead. People have to be in the building at all times.
After that, I went to the public library, returned some books and got some more, then I went to the restaurant my father works at,
he stops working at around 9:10 p.m so I picked him up and we walked home together and I told him all about today.
Now I'm sitting here, writing and about to go sleep and as you probably guessed, that's all for today.
See you at the next documented day.
