Zera glanced up at the late mid-day lime green sky and noticed the two sun's passing the horizon. She paused for a moment. 'Wow quite a bit happened in one day.. I love this new world. I'll do anything I can to make use of myself here!'
She then picked up her pace, and eventually reached the unregistered guild building region, where rows of unclaimed buildings lay. Zera found it odd that there were some more industrial looking buildings. She assumed the guild master she met before had something to do with the modern designs. She noticed that the price of one of the large iron warehouse buildings was around 2 elemental coins a week. She then scouted various multipurpose housings nearby to use as a base of sorts, considering all possibilities, including how to get income incase her system failed. 'I may run across inventory issues or may even not be able to use my system abilities at some point.. It's best that I prepare to do things the hard way in case my special ability becomes unavailable..'
She in the end decided to pass on the warehouse and got a large empty plot of land around 2000 Sq. Ft in size for a meager 1000 Red coins.
'Now I wonder if this system develops itself off of my concept of a game, or off of one general idea.. let's test. I'll try crafting first.' Zera then went to a craft store and decided to buy a bit of everything and put it in her inventory. She would try to make various things once she got back to the plot of land.
By the time she arrived it was getting dark so she tried to start a fire using some Flint above some wood she bought.

Do you wish to ignite campfire? Y/N
"Yes." She decided to say it out loud since nobody was around.
The wood lit in fire that simply and she pulled out all the stuff she bought out of her Inventory. It was a huge stack of miscellaneous resources and metals, along with herbs.
"Craft." A menu popped up with hundreds of question marks and dozens of tabs up top which were also question marks. "So crafting exists... But how do I unlock them. Don't tell me I have to make it myself first"
--- Answer ---
Correct.
"Seriously.. Whatever. Good thing I was forced to read engineering articles and similar stuff by my friend." Zera got to work on something simple like a chair and then realized-- "Wait. Nails. . . They probably use magic to bind pieces.. I'll need to research that!" Just as she said that Newt walked by and Zera stopped him immediately. "Hey. Newt. How does construction work in this world. Are there nails? Do they use magic?"
Newt stared at her in disbelief. "It's like 4 at night. why are you out here working.. Whatever. You can use something similar to nails but I recommend the magical approach that was invented 5 years ago with binding magic. I'm out here cuz I was just talking with your teammates to learn more about you. Based on what they have said, I'm sure you can learn binding magic pretty fast. Just figured it out and get some rest. This isn't normal-- Although your body isn't exactly normal either.." Newt walked away before she could ask anything else.
"How do I learn magic when I've never tried it before."
--- Answer ---
Unseal your wing's magical circuits through meditation.
"Meditation.. Well I'll try it." She sat down on the ground and straightened her posture. She attempted to take in slow, deep breaths but eventually found that was just a distraction for her. She tried simply clearing her mind. Within minutes she felt a tingling in her back and then saw a small path of light which was releasing arcing waves of electrical energy. She tried to focus on fixing the odd sparking and suddenly the path straightened and several extensions formed going in various directions. It rapidly grew.

"That's a lot of skills... This is quite something." Zera sat down and tried to focus on the concept of starting a fire. A small puff of flame rose from her palm and when she thought about adding fuel to the fire it grew to a 5 ft tall inferno. Surprisingly no heat could be felt from this roaring fire. She clenched her fist and the flame doused immediately. She then tried to imagine lifting the wood infront of her and connecting them in the form of a chair. The wood interlocked together and glowed slightly before creating a basic wooden chair you'd see in a woodworking shop, cheap and made solely of 2 by 4s essentially. She felt invigorated. She felt inspired to create her own guild building more than ever before, but first she needed to rest. The fatigue of staying up this late into the night was finally getting to Zera and she knew it. She started to walk toward the old guild home and realized they didn't live there anymore.
"Yikes... I guess I'll camp out tonight." She then used some of her random materials to form a small 3 walled hut so that if it snowed she wouldn't freeze or get soaked immediately. She drifted to sleep fairly peacefully even though it was on barren ground.
