When I woke up I rolled over almost expecting to see clara. I didn't I was in my new home. I knew what materials I needed for crafting and how much mana each one of them cost. I spent four days lounging around my courtyard not doing anything but accumulating mana. Next I went to the exchange chest. I put spiders web into it from a hundredyear old spider and put all my mana in. I got all of it except for the original strand and put it in my void bag. I had to give some to the outpost as well. I was thinking about what grand elder was going to where and as long as it didn't weigh to much he would wear it. Thats why I chose spider thread instead of metal.

There was a lightweight metal but I chose to make some for myself not for other people. It was called mithril I spent all my mana on it and got a few bars The last thing I needed was titanium metal. I wanted that as that was how you could make the sharpest swords. I was going to make one for clara and one for grand elder. With no mana left I decided to go on a hunt. I signed up for part of the hunter's party. We left close to dusk and we made it to a blind they had made it look like a tree. Everyone had crossbows and we waited until a herd of elk was going to pass by. We all aimed at the same elk and fired. The elk dropped to the ground. Apparently someone was a good enough shot to hit the heart. With that we climbed down the tree I sucked the elk into my void bag and we went home.

As soon as we got passed the gate I pulled the elk out and gave it to them. "Good job and thanks for coming along". The leader said to me.

"There are mostly large herbivore heartbeasts that live here because of the environment one of the other hunters said.

"Thanks for taking me". I said while turning around and walking home. I would need 1000 mana if I wanted to make titanium swords. I was at fifty mana. I decided to read a book while I waited for my mana to come back. My days consisted of reading and lounging for the next four days that's all I did.

After that I went into the crafting room and made the titanium I needed. I stored it in my void bag and after giving some as payment I was ready to head back to the item crafting outpost. I hopped on the wagon that came through on the same day that I wanted to leave I had gotten lucky. It was kind of bumpy in the back but I didn't really care I wasn't going to try sleeping. We traveled for what seemed like a few hours. Even though I know a whole day had passed.

When we arrived I hoped of the wagon without saying anything to anyone and just went home to my old bed.

I rested in it until I was ready to go. I had to save up my mana again to make the swords. I went to the crafting room and made a mana steal knife and traded it in for a weeks worth of food. With that alls I had to do was stay in the sun as much as possible and then I would be able to craft everything.

I decided to go to the gym, I went there and played tennis I met a woman there named olive.

She promised me that I could get good at tennis. I played tennis and went to the bar night after night. I just liked to listen to the bard sing it felt nice. I missed my friends. I had been on my own for to long. A week passed with me enjoying tennis eating meat and accumulating mana.

Finally the day arrived when I had 2100 mana. I made my way to the crafting room.

I put some void cloth in with the titanium and poured 1000 mana into the box. I wished for luck and pulled the sword out. The next sword I put in a beaver and thought about the sharpest sword possible. I pulled that sword out of the box to. I put them both in my mana bag then as payment for letting me use the chest I made a rare manasteel sword. I used a wolves tooth. Then I left upstairs to the item shop to have my two words inspected.

They looked different to each other one had a black line along were the blade was and the other one looked like normal except the hadel was made of ivory.

I had them appraised by the shop keeper up stairs one of them could turn ethral and the other one was super sharp.

I went to the tennis courts as I still needed a thousand mana to make the clothing out of the spiders web.

I went to the gym and started lifting I had become strong from eating stuff I was at least as strong as the average warrior in the gym.

Satisfied with my results I went to play tennis.

"Hi" olive greeted me. "I came to play" we played until ten and she beat me. "Better luck next time". She said to me.

With that, I went home and went to bed the remaining two days passed. With that I had enough mana to make the protective clothing. I put all the spiders web in and imagined protection while I put all my mana in.

It worked I pulled out the long sleeve thick shirt. These were gifts I was going to give to people. I promised to make them something the following day and I could keep all my shirts. I waited a day repaid my debts and then I started going back to the ability outpost.
