*The next morning*

Mina: Are you done packing, Shi?

Shi: I'm done, mom. I'm ready to go!

Mina: Ok. Do you still remember the infinite storage spell that I taught you?

Shi: Yeah.

Mina:

*nonchalanty takes a map out from nowhere*

So here's a map of the world. Every single important location such as dungeons, or places with powerful enemies are marked on the map and will change in real-time if they ever move.

Shi: Mom... isn't this extremely valuable?

Mina: Oh it is. I killed "The Wise Man" for it. Don't let the name fool you, It wasn't a man but instead a 20 story tall lizard with a hat that said "WISE". It was really weird.

But Shi, I entrust these items to you because you are my son. I have raised you, and trained you to become strong.

Shi: But.. why me? Surely there were other children that you saved in the forest that were better than me in some way.

Mina: There were none. You were the only child I found alive in that forest.

Shi: (Wow that's dark.)

On the day that I found you, I saw that you had potential. The potential to one day become as powerful or even more powerful than me.

I have outlived my life and my legacy is over. I have become a living legend.

*smirks boastfully while trying to contain laughter*

*calms down*

So work hard, son. Don't worry, I don't expect you to follow in my footsteps. So just live your life to fullest and have fun, ok?

Shi: *sobs* Yes ma'am! *salutes*

Mina: We're not in the army you know. Hahaha

Here are some coins to start you off.

Shi: Thanks mom. Well, off I go!

*Uses magic to enhance physical abilities*

*starts running at a ridiculous speed toward the nearest town*

*runs through the Shi no Mori, a jungle, and some plains*

(This town is farther than I thought.)

*Mina suddenly teleports in front of Shi*

Mina: Hey son! *waves*

*Shi stops immediately*

Shi: Mom? What are you doing here?

(I didn't know she could teleport! Wtf. She didn't teach me!)

Mina: I forgot to teach you about how currencies work so here I am!

Shi: I thought you couldn't leave the forest alone?

Mina: Oh I can. I left some clones of me to take care of things.

Shi: Then why can't you go with me?

Mina: Because i'm busy.

Shi: Busy!? Doing what!? If your clones can do everything then what could you be busy with?

Mina: Sleeping.

Shi: *sighs* Well? Teach me.

Mina: Ok. So first of all, the Platinum is the most valuable currency, then Gold, Silver, Copper. 1 Plat is 100 gold, 1 gold is 100 silver, 1 silver is 100 copper. An inn costs around 50 Copper coins - 1 Silver coin a night depending on how good the inn is. Food for an entire day is about the same. Don't waste your coins on things you don't need even if you have a lot. And don't just nonchalantly pull out a platinum coin when you want to buy a piece of bread, ok? Start with something expensive, like a weapon of some sort, so you can get some gold as change.

Shi: I got it. So I shouldn't run around and just show my coins to anyone cause that will cause thieves and bandits to attack me, right?

Mina: That's a great idea! Lure them with the money and annihilate them!

*sadistic laugh*

*coughs* ahem.

Well i'm going now. Byeee

*teleports*

Shi: Mom sure is out of control. Haha

(I want to teleport too ;-; But I guess mom wanted me to experience traveling the world on my own two feet.)

Well, It's time to resume the journey!
