Lich had many things to think over as he headed over to the Shoe Path room.
First was what the blank face woman, who he learned was the one called Moon, said. He could not head back to the place he started. Though he didn't need to sleep until he selected a Path that needed sleep, he had to eventual. Now that he didn't have a place, he had to either sleep outside or start working on a Path that he could use to sleep in.
The second thing was the only material he had was the silk from the Arachnid Path. But now that he was working on the shoes, he had the rubber and other materials for use. Though he selected the needed Paths, he didn't start them.
But he was required to do so many different Paths before working on getting Underwear. So why was the system like this? Did it mean as long as he did Paths with similar use, he didn't need all of them or was it because the required Paths were set up by others to force everyone to work on Paths that weren't only Paths for fighting.
