9 9. SEARCHING FOR VILLAGE OR TOWN

Before setting out from the house, I made few skills to help us go through the journey better.

Sprint: run faster

Fly: as it name suggested, yes flying.

Forging: a skill to get title of blacksmith

Sewing: to make clothes or armours

Tracking: to track anything within 20km far.

For now, I think that's my limit for today. I had about 5500 mana, and making each skills eat about 500mana. I need to reserved some for our journey, and who knows what we may encounter along the way. I have to be prepared. I checked and saw that the spatial ring provide 50 mana each ten minutes. So, for me to gain 500 mana would be, 1hour and 40 minutes. That means, I had to wait for 9 hours twenty minutes to regain all that I had used to make five skills! Sleeping would aid the mana regeneration faster but today is going out day. We are getting late as it is And the only way to tell time right now is by looking into our window menu.

Note to myself. Don't overdo it! We need mana regeneration item ASAP. Just for additional information, I need to compare our mana with the dwellers of these world. For now, we need to act in moderate.

"Uww. I'm so excited!" Miya face was flushed with excitement and really it was really contagious that I grinned together with Ailee.

Everything was already prepared. When I said everything, I mean food and drinks. And we'll collect more along our journey. Before we left, I asked Ailee to put on barrier around the area.as an extra measure, she thought that maybe it'll be better to conceal the whole house since its stand out too much and I had to agree with it.

We set out following the river stream. I believe that where there's water, there will be a civilisation. I used the fly skill and share it with two of my daughters. We fly above the stream,watching our surrounding.

"Mom, do you think dragons exist in this world?" With all the wind blowing fast as we flew, it's a miracle that I can hear what Ailee said. But her eyes shine brightly, full of anticipation.

But that sure made me broke out in sweat.i know the god said there's elves and dragon in this world but I never thought it will be around here. I never considered that one. I look around, worried that we will be greeted by a surprisingly big 'uninvited guest'.

"Well, If dragon exists in this place, I hope we wont see it right now" we had just begun this second life, and I'm not about to let it end so early now. We need more information on how to deal with it.

That thought made me pumped my mana a little bit more, so we could travel faster and reach to our destination fast.

It seems there's no ending of flying as long as one can spend their mana. I thought there will be some kind of cool down but we had been traveling for about two hours and thirty minutes non-stop, and I feel like i could still fly longer than that. I would've but Miya was grumbling about getting hungry. It was then I realised that my tummy was grumbling too.

We try to find good spot and landed there. I made a small fire and went to the river, to catch some fish. I think I saw some normal looking fish earlier, grilling one would be a treat.

I took out a pole and tied it with my dagger, making a makeshift spear. By channeling the water element and making it rise, it made me easier to spot which fish I want.

This is fun. Really, really fun. Just by activating the skill, wont guarantee for the outcome you thought of. It was a trial and error from there, and I only get it after trying for five times to control the water just the way I wanted it. The water curved upward, leaving the floor of the stream mostly empty. And just like I calculated, pulling the water fast enough would leave some of the fishes flapping on the stream floor and I only need to catch it with my makeshift spear.

After killing six of the 'Doed', I stopped and let the stream back where it supposed to be. Doed is actually a type of fish like anchovies. But really, its pretty huge anchovies if you asked me. Its as big as sardine fish. If this is anchovies, I wonder what would they call anchovies in our former world? 'Stick fish'??

After gutting and cleaning the fishes, I took out some of the wood sticks that I had prepared earlier from home, from my spatial ring. Again, I am still marvelled by the idea of taking out and putting in stuff inside an empty void. Preparing the fire was the easiest one, since I had a lot of practice before that. From there, it was like a walk in a park.

Ailee and Miya found new fruits, one look like coconut, and another like banana. I used the appraisal and saw the coconut called 'Sai Fruit', a totally not coconut.. its have red gooey liquid inside but smell refreshingly good. It had minty and strangely sweet scent. The banana one, Huq, was kinda hard and it have purple colour.

"This is delicious!" Ailee eyes were wide in surprise as she tasted the Huq.

"Yeah, like a potato! It'll be great with curry."

I tried one and totally agreed with them. This definitely goes well with curry.

We began eating leisurely while enjoying our scenery when we heard of something.
