In the middle of the night there was a young man walking through the dark woods. That man was Jin, currently on his way to the village he spotted back in the old man’s room. Because of his new eyes he could see the area clearly, even though no moonlight shone to the ground of this the dense forest. On the way here Jin had tested his skill as good as he could while still alone and discovered the following :
1. When he tried to cut himself with a sharp stone he had to use all his strength and even then the cut healed in mere minutes. It also seemed as if his new body did not get hungry.
2. He had to directly touch things to put them into his inventory and they had to be connected to his palms when they exit the inventory. He could also freely change the flow time for any item inside.
3. He could only use the magic creation skill once a day but that could be changed by leveling up.
4. When he used the magic creation skill, he could choose between recreating a magic he had seen, choosing one out of a list of the many magic systems or creating one for free, the latter being locked until he leveled up the skill.
After searching for a while Jin choose a magic called ‘Zero' of the Void magic system. This magic would shoot a small ball that dealt damage based on his Mana pool, something perfect for him. When he tried the magic out he burned a hole around the size of an adult male's head into the ground. The range seemed to be around 100 meter. All together you could call it a very dangerous spell, but Jin who had never seen magic did not know this. He only estimated it to be a bit stronger than a normal spell.

After he finished with testing his skills he started to become bored and, after finally stopping to narrate his ever move, he started humming a song his mother had sung for him when he was still a child. It was the only thing she left him when she died a few years ago, and it soon became a habit to sing it while working.
Right at this moment he noticed a small light in the distance, most likely a campfire. Jin decided to walk towards there, maybe he could get a bit of information before entering the city. When he was only a few meters away from what had shown itself to be a small encampment small tent and a fire, he could hear a woman’s scream. After a getting a little closer he could see a girl around his age getting attacked by a huge black bear, desperately hiding herself under a dead tree.
“ You there! Please help me! Please! “ she screamed when Jin entered the light. She then crawled even deeper under the tree as the bear tried harder to claw it’s way to her. “ Young miss, I don’t even know you, why should I put myself in danger just because you say so? But, I could consider helping you if you are willing to reward me. “ Jin said calmly. He grew up in a house of merchants and his father always taught him that he should be a merchant before being a person. Maybe because of that, Jin would do nothing without getting a reward for it. In exchange I also meant that, if the pay was right, there was nothing Jin would not do. Well, he was not a monster so he would save her anyways, but the girl didn’t know this. “ I’ll pay! I have a few gold coins I can give you! Please do something! The tree won’t hold much longer! “ the girl screamed hurriedly. Jin sighted at that. “ You see, if you tell me that you have the gold coins with you, I can just kill the bear after it killed you and I still get the coins. Most likely you were planning to keep a few coins so i would even get a few more coins this way. “ just when he had finished saying this, the bear finally noticed him and decided to first attack the human that was not hidden under a hard cover of wood.
