Alice POV
The sunlight in the Cradle was different.
It wasn't harsh or burning, but soft and endless. It felt warm in a way that made Alice's body hum with quiet energy.
She sat in the dining hall, feeling the sunlight falling from the window and settle across her skin.
Priscilla, the head maid, had mentioned earlier that the sun here shone for eighteen hours straight before setting.
Alice could believe it.
Even now, despite the night outside, the light was shining strong.
She could feel her mana moving naturally.
The Solar, Light, and Fire affinities inside her pulsed in rhythm with the sun's rays.
Every breath she took made her mana pool denser, and clearer.
At this rate, she would reach Level 6 in all three affinities within a few hours.
That realization left her speechless for a moment.
Normally, it would take years—decades, even—to raise an affinity to that level.
Level 6 meant she could use Elemental Sword Aura without external help.
