The experiment takes place beside the shed, tucked away in the corner to the right of the open space, hidden from the prying eyes of other people. I carefully filled the wooden crates with three quarters bonbu skin and the remaining gleamsøil

With the Arcwæave, I chant ᚨᛏᚨᛚᚣᛋᛏᛋ and ᚨᚾᛒᛁᚾᛖ , causing both substances to magically mold and blend together. It was incredible to feel the transformation as the material took on a whole new form. After 15 minutes, the material had fully transformed into its new form. I carefully utilized the ᚳᚢᛒᛖ-ᛋᚺᚨᛈᛖ chant to shape it into small cubes, each perfectly formed and ready for further use in my creations.

Lianee: (curious) Ethan, what are you working on here? I saw the magical glow from afar, and I couldn't resist coming to see.

Ethan: I've been experimenting with a new material

Lianee: They look like little gems! What can you do with them?

Ethan: Let's see...

With unwavering focus, I cradled the crystal-clear cube in my palm, letting the smooth, magical surface send a tingle of anticipation through my fingertips. Gently, I began to coax the cube's edges, my intent clear: to shape this singular piece into a delicate bottle. The cube rested obediently against my skin, awaiting the magic that would mold it into something new.

My brow furrowed as I stared at the cube, my fingers hovering above it. I could feel my heart thumping a little faster. It was a tricky process, like molding clay but with magic. My fingers moved slowly, each touch intentional, as if I were coaxing the cube to reveal its secrets.I took a deep breath in, letting it out slowly as I summoned my magical energy. It was like feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin, but inside me. I channeled that energy into my fingertips, directing it toward the cube. As I did, I imagined it changing, its edges softening and curving.

But the cube didn't give in easily. It held onto its shape stubbornly. I could almost see it shaking its head, refusing to change.

Ethan: (exasperated) It just won't change shape. I've tried everything, but it's like they are resisting my magic... Ha ha ha

Undeterred, I knew I needed more material to bring my vision to life. Swiftly, I added four more cubes, arranging them around the original one. With the additional material at hand, I focused my mind and spoke the incantation ᛗᛟᛚᛞ-ᛋᛘᚨᛚᛚ ᛒᛟᛏᛏᛚᛖ ᛋᚺᚨᛈᛖ.

As if responding to my command, the cubes began to glow softly, responding to the magic flowing through them. Slowly, the crystal-clear material started to shift and change, taking on the graceful curves of a small bottle. My eyes sparkled with delight as the shape materialized before me, exactly as I had envisioned.

I focused on a single piece of the cube ᛗᛟᛚᛞ-ᛋᛘᚨᛚᛚ ᛒᛟᛏᛏᛚᛖ ᛋᚺᚨᛈᛖ, my hands moved swiftly, channeling my magical energy into the small piece. As if guided by an invisible force, the piece taking on the intricate form of a bottle cap, the transformation happened almost instantly, in under a minute.

Lianee: (impressed) That's incredible! It looks just like a glass bottle, but it feels much lighter.

Ethan: (proudly) Now, let's put it to the test. Fill the bottle with water.

Lianee: (excitedly) It worked!

Ethan: (grinning) With this material, we can create all sorts of useful items. The possibilities are endless!

With a sense of curiosity and excitement, I decided to utilize Arcane Insïght to gain further understanding about the material I had just created. As I focused my magical energy, the information revealed itself, presenting an intriguing revelation. The material possessed a unique characteristic - it had a lifespan of three years, after which it would naturally dissolve.

Ethan: (with a mischievous grin) The material is not just magical and versatile, but it's also environmentally friendly! Ha ha... I wish I had these back on earth.

The atmosphere in the old shed was filled with a mix of nostalgia and excitement as we gathered for the farewell party. It was a bittersweet moment, bidding farewell to the place that had witnessed the beginning of our creation journey. However, it also marked the beginning of a new chapter.

Ethan: Here's how our new division of work looks like.

A piece of paper to share with everbody . The shed filled with anticipation as the team exchanged glances.

Ethan: Product Development will still be my responsibility. But if any of you have a creation idea, no matter how big or small, I welcome you to share it with me.

Novn: (raised his hand) What exactly product?

I smiled warmly at Novn, appreciating his eagerness to learn and contribute. Ah craps, I am using such an earth term again.

Ethan: Let me explain it in simpler words. A product is something that we create, like the hair clips, wooden figures, and ice cream we've been working on.

Novn's eyes lit up with understanding, and he nodded excitedly.

Ethan: Liam and Olivia, your roles are of utmost importance. Whether it's collecting materials from the forest or making deals with villagers, your contribution will be vital to our success.

Olivia: Got it! It's easy...

Ethan: Our esteemed partner, Mr. Yonx already graces us with his woodwork, while Grandpa Hamme just agreed on supplying us with the finest tension springs.

Vondle: So, we don’t have to make tension springs? We will continue the assemble part? Decorating and coloring ….

Ethan: We'll still need the touch for the decorating and coloring.

Lianee and Eyka: Please leave the decorating and coloring to us. We still find joy in doing that!

Ethan: Okay... Okay

I turned my attention towards Lianee and Eyka, knowing they would be perfect for handling the learning and training aspect.

Ethan: Eyka, you will continue playing and teaching the younger kids the letters using the wooden card

Ethan: Lianee how about you start arithmetic to the kid using the learning toys we've created?

Lianee: (laughs) So, this kindergarten is a place for both learning and play? Ha ha ha

Eyka: Well, if it involves playing, I don't see any problem.

Ethan: Exactly! It's a learning experience in a leisurely and enjoyable mode.

Just as the exchange settled into a comfortable rhythm, a burst of laughter erupted from the nearby table, drawing the attention of all present. Olivia, with her boisterous laughter and irreverent spirit, leaned in with a mischievous glint in her eye, interrupting the ongoing conversation.

Olivia: If I were you, I'd take all that money and go to the capital! Hahahah!

Liam: Yeah, you could use all the money you'll make!

Ethan: I agree, the idea to go the capital sounds tempting. My goal is to make our village more prosperous. By doing that, we can generate more income. And together, all of us can travel around the world... bwahahaha

Everyone: Huh? Really all of us? Around the world...

Vondle: Ethan, you are such a wonderful person! (Sniffles, shedding tears of emotion)

Novn: Ethan, I'm with you all the way!

I aspire to be a part of the FIRE, which stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early. It's a remarkable concept where individuals pursue the possibility of retiring at an unusually early age, sometimes even in their 30s or 40s. It's about redefining the traditional life trajectory, liberating oneself from the shackles of a 9-to-5 routine, and embracing a life of financial autonomy and personal fulfillment.

Ethan: (holding up a hairclip made from the new material) Take a look at this. I've come up with an alternative material for our hairclips. Besides using wooden parts, we can now use this material!

Olivia: Wow, it looks so sleek and shiny! And it's not wood?

Novn: Not at all! This material is incredibly lightweight.

Vondle: So, are we going to stop making the wooden hairclips altogether?

Ethan: Oh, no! We're just going to add more variety to our creation of hairclips.

Ethan: So, Brother Liam and Sister Olivia, your new resource is to gather this thing called Gleamsøil.

Liam: Gleamsøil?

Olivia: (laughs) Oh, Ethan, this thing is quite easy to gather...

Liam: I thought we have to hunt some monster material... like Begemo or Aldorin

I stood before my friends , a mix of excitement and nostalgia filling my heart. I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts before addressing everyone.

Ethan: It's been an amazing journey here at the old shed. Tommorow we will move to our new place

Everyone: Nodded in agreement, their eyes shining with anticipation.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As the others bid their farewells and dispersed, it was just Lianee and me left standing in front of the old shed. The sun was setting, casting a warm golden glow over the surroundings. Lianee looked at me with a mixture of emotions in her eyes. I smiled at her, feeling a deep connection between us. There was an unspoken understanding, a bond that had grown stronger through our shared passion for creation.

Ethan: Lianee (breaking the silence) I can't believe how far we've come together.

Lianee: I will continue to be by your side. Ethan, will you marry me???

The weight of Lianee's question hung in the air, and I felt like time had frozen around us. My heart raced, and my mind raced even faster, trying to process the significance of her words. It was a moment I hadn't anticipated, catching me completely off guard.

Eyes locked with Lianee's, I could see the sincerity in her gaze. The sincerity of her question brought warmth to my cheeks, and I could feel my face turning a shade of red I hadn't experienced before. Her bravery in asking such a life-altering question left me both stunned and deeply touched.

Ethan: Lianee, you always know how to catch me off guard.

Lianee: I figured we've been through so much together, shared countless adventures...

Ethan: Indeed, we have....

Lianee: So, why not add another extraordinary moment to our collection?

Wait, are you genuinely a 6-year-old girl, Lianee? Or could it be that you are a reincarnated? Is this a common occurrence in fantasy land?
