… what?
‘’hey identify… explain to me about those titles’’
Cross-dresser (aka. it’s a trap!) – granted to those who wear the opposite genders clothing with the intent of disguise/ to trick or fool others, also given to those who wear the others clothing in such a way that easily fools people in mistaking their gender, makes your disguise more believable/ makes people think you are that gender. Only applies when wearing certain clothing under right conditions or with the right mindset, if taken off, title gets removed/deactivated Natural airhead – your clumsiness transcends the system and is a natural part of you, this title does nothing and will be removed when you stop being an idiot, like, seriously, why are you so stupid? Dungeon diver - you have cleared a dungeon, Good job, sadly this title does not grant you to the ability to swim in dungeons but it does look cool
HEY! Well flux you, you’re the stupid one… humph calling me an idiot. But that cross-dressing title sounds really weird, ‘with the intent to disguise’ and ‘in a way so people mistake you’ means that most girls don’t get the title because they don’t have the intent to disguise themselves or won't be easily mistaken, do you get the title if you dress that way for hobby and not for disguise? I guess so since it has to do with the intent to look like another gender, would girls get this title for wearing full body armour? Since full plate covers everything and you don’t know the person's gender until they take off the helmet or remove the armour, they probably would get it since people will easily mistake you, are there ways to prevent getting this title? Like drawing a massive Richard on my back or a tag with ‘male’ on it?
‘’SIDE! WE’RE GOING NOW!’’ I yell to side, who seems to be harvesting the boss for materials at the other end of the cavern, she looks up and starts skipping over to me with a metaphorical huge grin on her face ‘’SU! This new wand is amazing! My mana flows through it like water and I can change it to wood so much smoother than before!’’ she says while humming a tune with a large amount material floating behind her,
I take all the material which includes monster parts, legs, stone and some ores, and put them in my item box, my item box is really weird, like, what is up with the storage space? I have a ton of junk in there yet why can I always fit in even more? Talk about inconsistent.
Side and I make our way out of the dungeon in a leisurely pace, anytime we meet an enemy I just equip the door sword above them and let gravity do all the work, why would I need any other weapon when this door is so OP? as we exit the dungeon I notice that we haven’t seen any corpses other than the ones we just made, it seems the dungeon absorbs any leftover corpses and cleans up all damage since we already passed the place where we fought that first centipede and found no corpse or debris from fallen rocks, how kind of it to clean the place for us,
we walk up the stairs after murdering those bats again and make our way through the first floor, 'why don’t I just kill everything with suck instead of summoning and un-summoning my door?' you ask, The answer to that is, it's more satisfying stepping on a bug than killing it with bug spray, don’t get me wrong, killing things with suck is really fun but it doesn’t have that *boom or *shwing that a weapon has unless I use multiple stacks but after a few stacks it just gets tedious saying *suck over and over in my head,
I've always wondered about sides magic ‘’hey side, how do you do your magic and how can you aim so well in that boss fight?’’ she wakes up from stroking the wand absentmindedly and begins going into lecture mode
‘’my magic during that fight was something I made up on the fly when you asked me to do something, I moved my mana into the rocks you were holding and shifted the element to earth, with that I could manipulate the shape of the rock somewhat into something better suited for pinning the monster down, like a nail, by shifting the mana to different elements I can make and change different things like what I did with the plants, by inserting my plant element mana into the dormant seeds underground I can make them rapidly grow and even control it to tangle enemies up, sadly it only lasts as long as you put mana in it and isn't permanent so elves and gardeners aren’t completely obsolete, my earth bullets are made from ejecting solidified earth mana where I compress earth attributed mana enough that it becomes a physical object, that’s what I did with repairing your sword too, used earth mana to fill in all the cracks and made it solid, I can hit the boss from so far away because of my mana eyesight, since it is such a large target the mana in its body is also easily visible - ...’’
Side just keeps on talking about the nature of mana and how she manipulates her mana to create different results for the rest of the journey to the outside world

From her nonstop jabbering I manage to gain some insight into the inner workings of mana, the bad thing is that she ended up talking about the more complex theories that go way over my head like ‘multilayered mana string reality theory’ where everything we see is just a bunch of tiny layers of interwoven string-like mana and how mages can tap into the fabric of reality or something to make spells.
We finally reached the mouth of the cave, the sun is just peaking over the horizon with a picturesque red-orange sky above the half-risen sun and cloudless sky, so it seems we spent the entire night in the cave walking and now the sun is rising, great, now I have to keep going while the day is new,
I sit down and have some breakfast while watching side lovingly stroke the treant wand ‘’so how about you tell me what wands do?’’ side gets into teaching mode again, she is always so happy and enthusiastic about magic
‘’wands amplify the mana you put into it! When injecting your mana through a wand, the want filters out some unnecessary intents and thoughts making your image sharper, some wands are made with special material meaning that they help you convert mana into that element smoother, easier, better and more efficiently! With this wand, I can control earth and plants twice as good as before! Not only that but it refines, compresses and purifies the mana I put in increasing my output even more! Not only does it strengthen my mana and transfer rate but It also gives me some connection to plants making me control them with less resistance and - …’’ side continues to gush about how good her new wand is for a solid 40 more minutes

I guess its time we head out now
