The problem was my ability. I could make a permanently invisible girl.

"Your mana regrowth ring it activates the invisibility. And your dad has to give it back so on your sixteenth birthday you were gonna wish for your ability to be permanent?. I spoke

"Papa says he was gonna have to give the ability ring back when I was old enough." She said

Then he found me and his whole plan changed I thought to myself. If he could jumpstart the latent potential in her body she could get a new ring and use her wish for an ability for something else.

Even I knew he could double his daughters fighting power by attacking a begar. I couldn't blame him for it if I looked at it that way.

"Do you know how much mana you need to jumpstart your heart?" I asked

"Yes, I need two hundred" This time she didn't even mention papa it seems like she was willing to take responsibility for this.

"Let me feel your heart again?" I asked

In a moment I felt a body press against my hand. With a thought, I poured one hundred and ninety-nine mana into her heart.

"That should keep me alive little missey, now we're both free. As long as you don't go home before I leave."

"You just gave me some of your power didn't you?" she asked.

"Let's make a plan so that we can both live happily," I responded. "If you stay here and don't go home I can come up with a plan so that everyone is happy," I asked.

" You got yourself a deal if you sleep on the ground tonight." She said

I nodded and got out of bed and laid on the ground. I needed to think tonight and make a flawless plan.

The night passed without me sleeping but I eventually came up with an idea to get me out of this mess.

I heard a ruffling from my bed "Did you figure it out?" She asked.

"Ya here's the plan when you go home tell your dad that as long as he leaves me alone I will come back to my home before you turn sixteen. Not only will I grant you the invisibility power Ill make you a custom ability ring to go with it. When you go home tell your dad that I told him "he should stake it all on me and he's a coward if he backs out now and if he tries to bully you tell him about the mana in your heart." I said

"Papa isn't a coward so he will definitely agree! I better get going or he might actually do something dumb. I'll come to visit you one last time before I leave if I can." she said

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

She left.

A week passed and she never showed up, her father must have gone mad I thought to myself. I checked the gains I had made over the two months. My already good physique had grown under my constant exercise to that of a well-trained warrior. Also, my basic knowledge had expanded and I could now tell what plants were edible and what different soul beast habitats looked like. The total amount of mana that I had accumulated was 4,134,

It wasn't two months but I decided to go find an expedition team and enlist. That's right I didn't need a reason for going on an expedition to the mainland. They were always in need of new men because so many people died or stayed in the outpost.

"Hello yes, Id like to enroll for the next expedition team's journey," I said

"You certainly look strong enough, do you have any abilities to register that could be useful to the expedition team. The clerk asked

"Yes, I can make a bright flash and a bang." I figured it would be weird if I enrolled without an ability.

"Young man that's actually a very useful ability." He said

Little did he know that I could only set one off within a foot of my body. But I didn't need to tell him that. He might put me with a better expedition team if he thought I was stronger.

Afterall only half of the expedition teams that set out actually make it to the outpost. Or would it be more appropriate to say that half of the people that set out made it?

"The soonest expedition sets out in two weeks are you sure about your decision?" He asked

"Its something I must do for my family" I technically spoke the truth I thought to myself.

He just handed me a sheet of paper with instructions.

Cool by me, I headed back to my house and fell asleep after memorizing the instructions.

The next day I returned the books to the library and examined my body. I had some discoloration patches on my skin from sitting in the sun for so long. I couldn't use this method again it seemed.

The day of the expedition when I got up. Scrolled into the dirt in front of my bed was "Good Luck"
