Then I went home I noticed that I had 300 mana. After studying and memorizing the creatures of the forest I went to sleep.

The next day I got up with the sun and went to stand in front of madisons house. I wish I had a chair standing and waiting was just something I had to put up with I wanted madison to be my girlfriend. After about two hours of waiting she came out and greeted me.

"Im glad you decided to enjoy the day together with me." She said while peering up at me.

"I wouldn't be anywhere else" I said

"Well, let's go to the marketplace to get some food for us." She said

"I only eat at the cafeteria," I said

"Im talking about just normal food," she said

"Okay let's go," I said with that we set off. After arriving in the marketplace she bought some normal deer venison some berry jam and some other things. "Can you pay for this she asked me while looking at a chickens breast."

"I don't have any money" I replied

"How you can make rings that easily and they sell for that much."

"Because I eat in the cafeteria all the time," I responded

She rolled her eyes and then said "of course"

I responded with "I even have a personal chef." then take me to the cafeteria today she said."She wants to use me as much as possible, oh wellI figured id go with it.

Everywhere she went she attracted men's attention. "I see why toy would ignore me.

After buying a bunch of normal food we returned to her house and she dropped it off inside.

"Okay lets go," she said I responded and said, "Follow me."

"Like I don't know where the cafeteria is I've eaten there before," she said

"Then why didn't you trade your ring in for cafeteria meals?" I said

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"Because it's too expensive and I'm not concerned with getting stronger." I can live off a single successful ring creation for two months.

"I would only get two weeks of cafeteria food at most." That makes sense I thought to myself

"Why don't you make more rings" Because every time I make one it's painful," she said

We walked into the cafeteria and "This place has changed since the last time I was here." She said

I went up to the chef and asked "Can I have two plates today?" he looked at me and said, "Yes, but don't expect to always get two."

I brought the second plate to madison and sat down to eat my own food.

"Thank you," she said.

With that, we ate together and talked about many things. Turns out she didn't have a soul ring and her ability was filling her body full of mana. She crafted by letting mana flow through her body and into the chest. Thats why she didn't make that many rings because it put stress on her body.

After we were done eating she walked home. I was left with nothing to do. I decided to go to the winery. As I showed up they asked me to be seated and I requested morgan as my waiter. I got a seat outside that overlooked the rest of the outpost. Morgan came to my table and poured me some ten year wine. Then she sat down next to me.

"How was your day?" she asked me

"It was a good day I did a lot of stuff. I even made a new friend her name is madison." She instantly made eye contact. "You didn't let her use you, did you?" She responded

"I did a little bit but I don't regret it" She's that attractive to me." Morgan made eye contact put on a pouty face and asked "Why not me?" Because Im not in love with you."

"You haven't fallen for me? She said with a butterfly dance.

"No I haven't," I said

"You should bring this girl here," She said

"She actually lives down the road from me."

We continued on our conversation into the night. Until I decided to go home. I didn't need help this time because I wasn't drunk.

The next day I got up and went to madisons house and knocked on her door. She came to it and asked, "What do you want?"

"I want to spend time with you," I said

"I'll come outside to talk with you." She had a very nice lawn with lots of grass.

She came out and sat down in the grass. "How is your day going?" she asked me.

It's going well now that you're a part of it. I said. "Shouldn't you be gathering mana right now?" she asked.

"My mana generation comes from the sun," I said

"Thats so lucky," she said. I responded with your ability could be better you just need a really sturdy body and you could make a lot of ability rings.

"Im not really interested I live a good life." We were sitting on the grass staring into each other's eyes. "Do you want me to make you an ability ring?"

"If you want to" she replied. "I want to" ill make you something special. we chatted for a while until it was lunchtime. She said goodbye to me and went in to eat. I decided to go to the cafeteria. I had venison and ten year old berries.

I went back home and thought about the ability ring I would make her. The next day when I got up. I had 600 mana so I decided to go make her an ability ring.

I got up early enough I could make the ring and still be outside her house to give it to her. As I searched the crafting room for stuff I found a hundred year old bear claw. I put it in the chest and put 500 mana in the box. I thought about body strengthening. That was what she needed to grow
