It took her several minutes before she stops, taking a double take at the thing in her hands. She is currently sitting on the mossy ground, leaning on the trunk of the tree and is overlooking the small rocks that she have turned into luxurious jewelries.
"What is this?" She peers into the weird shimmering crystal in her hands, confused about it's origin.
This is the first time she have heard of something known as the Magicite. She didn't know what it entails, and only have a vague theory that it might have something to do with magic.
Having thought of that, she tries using this ore and wish for it to teleport her out of this forest. Though it seems like nothing have happens as she just sits there, clutching it with her hands while her eyes are closed, looking like an idiot.
She frowns before raising it up the sky. "It didn't do anything magical. Maybe something simple?"
"Fire ball!"
She pointed the dimly lit crystal to the distance but nothing happens. It is just shimmering like that.
"... Not good. It's just a shining rock after all..."
"Is this even more valuable than a diamond?"
Feeling depressed, she decided to continue merging stuffs until something useful appears.

"Woah!?"
Surprised, she almost hit her head on the tree as she looks at the orb that seems to suck her in like an abyss. The orb felt like a blackhole that seems to absorb her perception, making her focus solely to it.
She shakes her head, feeling a bit of a headache before grabbing it.
"What is this?"
She glances at it and winces, feeling a throbbing pain in her head whenever her gaze met it's visage. It's like looking at a hypnotic image that can cause epilepsy, though the image is only limited to the mysterious scenery of the milky way and some sort of darkness.
Touching it seems to be fine. It's not doing anything to her. Just looking at it seems to be detrimental.
"Cosmic... then does this mean it is an alien rock?" She wonders to herself.
She is just throwing answers out on the dark, not really knowing what it can do. It didn't have a convenient prompt that explains to her what these things can do.
"What is this, do I need an Appraisal skill or something?" She said out loud, not really meaning it and is just complaining.
Then she felt something in her very being, like something is being inserted within her. It is an unknown feeling that felt like a vivid imagination. This something seems to have touched her, and then it engraves something within her existence.
She gasps, surprised at the sudden experience. Then she notice about the lack of something in her hands.
"Wait... where is it!?"
She looks around and didn't see the alien orb anymore. It just vanished out of nowhere, without her noticing at all.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
"How did that happen?" She mutters before sighing. "Ah... just my luck..." As she took a glance at one of the rocks. "Maybe I should just start combining more things. It's not like I have any limits anyway..."
She focuses on the rock once more and thinks of using her powers, then she stop with a gasp as she saw something in front of her eyes. The usual feeling of connection is there, but there is also a new panel in her vision.

A simple rock commonly seen everywhere
"How!?"
The first thing she thought of is to look at her status, so she quickly opens it and browse through it. Her eyes widened at what she saw.

"A new skill!?" She gasps in shock. "How?"
She can't remember doing anything. She recalls about the mysterious orb that is pretty harmful to see, and what she says awhile ago.
"Maybe it's because of that?"
She tries to see the description of the appraisal ability by just thinking about it.
Appraisal ~ Level 999 (Rare Skill)
[MP Cost : 0]
The power to appraise anything. Depending on the user, you can see everything you wanted from the target.
She looks at the rock once more.
"It stated that I can see everything depending on my desire so..." She peers into the rock, focusing on it.

There are many more within and she is feeling nauseous just reading all of it.
Below the complete appraisal, it even states what it encounters, how it was formed, every little thing that has happened on it's surroundings, and many more. She didn't want to continue on browsing through the appraisal.
"Ugh... I think I'll just be satisfied with the simplified version." She said with a sigh.
Then she looks at the rocks before an idea occurs in her mind. She quickly starts to merge the rocks once more.

After a long moment of merging rocks, she finally got to the alienic orb. As expected, it gave her a headache just by pointing her gaze at it. So she quickly averted her gaze.
Before that though, she tries to sneak in a simple appraisal from it.
Cosmic Orb (Origin)
The orb formed from the very creation itself. This orb contains the truth of the universe. This orb can grant a single wish before it vanishes, becoming a part of the greater beyond.
Her eyes widened at the implications of this thing. She essentially created the equivalent of a wishing star in this world.
"This is so... amazing!"
Her eyes shining in excitement, she decided to try and state her wish.
"I wanted to go back to my world!"
She shouted and waited for something to happen. Though a moment pass and it seems like it isn't doing anything at all.
Surprised at this, she tries to peer into it using her full appraisal. She quickly browses through the description before seeing a certain passage that tells her the hint.
"It is only limited to this world?"
She reads a lot of light novels and have watched animes so she can understand it for a bit. She felt like her hopes are vanishing.
"No... I think this is still useful. I can use this to leave this forest."
Without a second thought, she wishes for her to get to a safe place.
And as quickly as she thought of that, her surroundings suddenly changes to that of a peaceful grassland. On the distance is a large wall that seems to be several stories high.
"... I did it. I manage to leave that forest!"
She is very happy having left that forest without something happening to her. It might feel anticlimactic to an outsider, but for her she felt so relieved that her life is not in danger anymore.
"Well, I think I should go there then. The orb grants my wish to get to a safe place, so I think that place is safe?"
She decided to take her first step and go to the gate, finally beginning her trek to this other world.
