A woman wakes up in a forest, naked, alone, and injured. All she has is a mysterious, black dagger stuck in her abdomen.

And then, blue floating boxes appear, granting her life-altering, magical power. A strange, white monster with no eyes stalks out of a black stone tower, partially buried in the ground. A pure-white, fog-like substance fills it, poisonous to touch.

What is all this? Forgotten civilisations and alien creatures?

But first, baby steps. She doesn't have food, shelter, or even clothes yet. She must use her wits, knowledge, and maths to survive.

If you see any maths mistakes or strange story decisions, leave a comment and I will either fix it or consider changing it.

This is also, essentially, a first draft. That means I will edit older chapters and nothing is final, including numbers. Any major changes are listed in the changelog below each chapter.

Since this is a first draft, the start is noticably bad and inconsistent compared to the more recent chapters so you will have to endure that to get to the good stuff.
