I decided to make a store house and another pit trap. I might not get so lucky next time. The store house is for the spoils I got while the pit trap is in case I get attacked by more than 1 enemy. I say store house but I just made a basement really. My base is currently about 2x4x4m while I used the extra dirt for furniture. It really isn't much. Just things like a chair on the roof near the entrance, a fur bed that looked like it came from the stone age and a fire place for cooking. I'm never cooking outside again. It was tough making a chimney but I managed to make it into a h shape so rain would flow straight down and the smoke would curve. Thinking about rain though I haven't had a drink in a while. I should search for water later on. But for now I should at least make a pot and leave it on the roof in case it rains.
Let's see here... first we gather water in the air with magic, make some mud, mold it and then use fire and wind magic to heat and dry it. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fa-
.....
Done! So much effort for a pot! The first was to ugly to even dry. The second exploded. The third was too thin and broke on its own and blah blah blah it was tough. I don't even remember how many times I tried. Phew, I'm thirsty. Hmm? Why not use magic? Magic is a way to use mana, a type of energy, to affect the laws of the world. So it's possible to gather water from the air but that might create a dessert somewhere if overused. That and it's tiring, making it inefficient. But I might do it until I find a lake or something. After all, inefficient is better than nothing at all. that said, let's fill the pot!

Day 3
After dealing with the water problems for now I decided to start exploring and training a bit. My equipment are fur skins (feels kinda gross), a sharpened rabbit horn, a shovel and some plain clothes.
I met another horned rabbit after a awhile and this one jumped at me too. I wanted to test something so I swung my shovel with a certain thought.
CUT!
ssk!
"Holy s**t that's cool."
Mid swing the shovel started to glow and cut right through the poor bunny.
ART: BLADE
It was a art that turns anything with the possibility of being a blade into one. Shovels are awesome. Oh, what do I do with the corpse? Wait, I got it!
"May my belongings stay with me, inventory!"
And with that, problem solved. I mean, this is a fantasy you know. Moving on!
I didn't notice at the time but my maximum amount of mana had decreased...
...
On the way, I hunted down 4 more rabbits and found some mushrooms. I didn't know whether they where poisonous or not so I kinda struggled quite a bit. But that when I realized that I got magic! (not that I'm any good with it). Anyway, what comes to mind in a fantasy besides inventory? Appraisal of course! Now... it doesn't need a chant but it does help a bit so...
"My all seeing eye shall see the truth and only the truth. None shall escape its grasp and none shall lie in the face of it. May you be revealed in the name of truth. APPRAISAL!"
...So embarrassing... I wanna dig a hole and hide in it. I'm just lucky nobody was here to hear that.

Meanwhile, in the hermits cave...
"Bahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahah, oh, my gut hurts! This guy! What a chunni! Don't you think Rudi?"
....
Meanwhile, in a heavenly space...
A pink haired goddess was laughing.
"Pfft! hahahahahahahaahhahaahahahahaahahahhahhahahahahahahahahaahahahaahahaahahhahahahahaahahahaah! Ah, I'm gonna die laughing! Your right about that Victor!"
"Come on Rudi, you shouldn't laugh. After all, you where like that once too..."
After hearing the young boy speak, Rudi froze.
.....
[Blastshrooms]
[These fungi will explode when hit with moderate force]
Woah... that was dangerous.
While thinking that, I still picked them anyway.
"...Grenades, get!"
They should be safe in my inventory. Anyway, where can I find a stream...
It didn't take me long to hear the sound of water running. I creep to the direction of the sound just in case there was something like a bear there. I don't know if their are bears in this forest but I do know there of wolves in this "training" so I can't be too careful. Just being attacked by wolves nearly killed me so bears would instantly maul me. Heck, rabbits could be dangerous if I didn't have a weapon. The point is that I've just been lucky.
When I moved away a bush I was greeted by...
