Scooping up a couple dozen worms and grubs, I layed in the creek and began meditating hope with the bugs on me they might get some mana if I'm crazy lucky. After 2 hours of getting wet I get the first point of energy, just 9 more and I can rank up. Heading back to camp I strip and check my pets status, no changes. The story said you get stronger, but instead I feel slightly more flexible, hmm imagination or element? After putting my pets back and hanging my clothes to dry I try my staff routine again, I'm definitely abit less clumsy, maybe abit less flexible, and I can get this boost 9 more times before the big one!!!
After that hopefully the changes will be big enough to effect my real body. Welp might as well gamble up some more skills by the fire while I wait.

Well guess I can enchant my gear, finishing for the day I get some more food and pets then turn in for the night.
Waking up I eat and go for a run then resume my workout routine before hoping on fallout 76, grinding a few rounds on restart there could get me some skills that are close to lvl 1.
By noon I get Scrapping Prewar Money, Scrapping Fox Hide, Scrapping Rabbit Hide, Scrapping Test Tube, Scrapping Test Tube Rack, Eating Canned Dog Food, Scrapping Short Hunting Rifle, Scrapping Bowling Ball, Scrapping Antifreeze Bottle, Scrapping Stewpot, Scrapping Blue Garden Gnome, Eating Fancy Lad Snack Cakes, Reverse Engineering Combat Knife Serrated Blade, Scrapping Coffee Pot, and Scrapping Plastic.
Hmm, I head out with a few trash bags and fill 3 with garbage from the local park and trails. I toss out 2 then head to a secluded clearing where I've been crafting, the last bag contains undented soda cans and plastic bottles, I cut the tops off of the bottles, the tops and bottoms of the cans then the sides creating a small rectangle of sheet metal. The bottles mouth rings I
fit around some sticks I carved to be spear shafts, they can be squeezed into some groves in the rock bits I shattered/carved into spear heads. Then carve a bottle into a ribbon then secure the pieces together by wrapping it then melting another bottle by candle over the whole mess. I turn it slowly for the next 15 minutes to cool it and prevent it from warping too badly. After making 3 more I pack up everything and head back. Once I make about 100 of these I can try selling them at a market event, but better check the laws of selling novelty weapons first.
Can't wait for my meditation session in galaxy.
Waking before breakfast I add a level to every skill, nothing exciting comes from maxing rock carving. After eating and setting my new pets in thier initial training pits I grab several more experienced pets and take them to meditate with me, hours later I hastily return, this time I at least had the sense to not wear my clothes in the water but good lord I'm freezing. The fire warms me up well enough, hmm the fire might be the answer, if I can make an underground tunnel between the fire pit and my shelter maybe it can heat the air under me as I sleep, with that I might survive the winter! I shift the fire and start digging, a hole as deep as I am tall, will let me get down to drill holes with my spear over toward my shack, filling the hole with mulch, logs, and dirt and packing it down I'll get a slow burn pit that could last who knows how long. About a foot down I have to call it a night, I set aside my new pets, gobble dinner and turn in for the night.
Waking up in bed I get up and make something to eat, using my eso dagger to cut green peppers for an ommelette, tossing in a worm before I can stop myself outta force of habit. My breakfast is fine regardless then I head to work, the whole time I debate quitting, I've got lots side jobs that teach me more and pay me better, plus the fresh food benefits are amazing, although I can save/load in fable for free food. After abit more debating I go to the office at the end of the day and find the form to submit my two weeks notice. Take a picture on my phone and text it to my manager. My phone rang right away, my manager shrieking sometime, 2 minutes later panicked frustrated human speech became discernable. She wanted to know why I was leaving and if a two dollar raise would be enough to keep me. When I started to say no she tried four, then six, and swore she couldn't go past six fifty. Tried telling her I just wanted to try something new and she offered me a bike... when I asked her what was wrong she explained there was a huge hiring crisis and if I left the few stragglers might follow, to which she'd lose her job and had already been told she couldn't get another store. We talked for abit and finally I relented outta pity, promised to come two hours a day in the evening to cleanup, a chore everyone dispised(but the fastest for grinding skills) I'd get the full raise and whatever I made myself to eat before leaving, not what I hoped but still a steal of a deal. I then went to the clearing for my daily workout and did some more grinding on fallout 76
Reverse Engineer Short Hunting Rifle True Short Barrel
Harvesting Snaptail Reed
After a couple hours I decided to take a bath and see if I could meditate in it....I think I felt...something....weak grasp of the concept or lack of ability and something...wrong?...
Going to bed I couldn't wait to fall asleep, just 8 more days till I can get enough energy to become a superhuman
