#Three month after Noah recived the task#

Noah was standing infron of a big hole that is leading inside a cave. But the cave was so dark that Noah couldn't see further than a few meter. Before stepping in the cave he started think about the last three months.

Noah's life wasn't an easy one in the past three month. He severely underestimated the size of the cave and the ferociousity of the animals in it. He had to buy an exercise technic for 500 points because he was aperently lacking in the physical aspect.

But even with his new training he still got injured so many times that he had to buy {Basic} Healing Magic Guide from the system for 1000 points.

Speaking about magic he mastered the three guide that the system awarded him with. He now could do magic instinctively, it was like another hand for him.

And the expedition wasn't only for the task. No Noah found a lot of resources. Like at the start of the second month he found a meadow. And there were cow like animals grazing on the grass.

He decided to tame them so he bought a husbandry manual for 500 points. And because he didn't want to move them trough the forrest he just surrounded the cows with a wooden fence for now.

And the cows weren't the only things that he found on the meadow. No he found cotton. But sadly he didn't have enough patience to start to process them. So he ignored them for now. And he decided to continue the exploration.

At the beginning of the third month he made a discovery that made everything easier. He found a 'surface' iron mine. And with the help of magic it was easy to mine and to process in large quantities.

After making a good amount of iron he tried to forge without buying the skill from the system because it was a little bit expensive. But he was too excited so he lost his patience and in the end he bought the {Basic} Foreging For Dummies Guide for a whopping 1500 points.

At first he tought it was too expensive but after getting it he understood why it cost him so much because it was't the normal forging. The forging was done by your magic. Makeing rhe process faster and more precise and later he found that it made the enchanting easier too.

Noah had gotten ahed with enchanting too. Not long after he got his second task he bought the {Basic} Book Of Runes for 500 points. With the new runes he started to enchant his clothes, house , tools, weapons. So he enchanted anything he saw.

After Noah forged and enchanted his new iron tools and weapons and his plate chest armor. He started to think about to what to do next. In the end he bought the {Basic} Introduction Into The World Of Engineering for his last 500 points.

And started to tinker with machines. Noah discovered he didn't need to use steam engines. He could totaly skip them and use immediately electric motors.

So the great age of industrialization begun. He started with building a train from his house to the iron mine and the meadow. And then Noah started to build mining machines that could mine without him. And he discovered that there is more than iron in the mines, there are all kind of precious metals like gold. It was strange to find this many in one place. But Noah is not going to complain.

By the way the only thing needed as a fuel in the machine was mana. And because the magical lake water has a very high mana concentration it is a very efficient fuel.

After finishing the mining machine Noah built an electronic cotton harvester it wasn't as fancy as a tesla but it was still cool. After harvesting the cotton. He had to build a cotton processing factory. And it took him a whole week even with his unimaginable speed. But after thinking about it he could have been done in a few days if he had used his own magic. But it is late to cry over the spilled out milk.

But learning from his mistake he made the new cotton clothes by hand. It was a little bit crude. But it was 1000% more comfortable than the leather clothes he used before. (His old clothes were thorn and everything so he couldn't us them.)

And seeing that only a small part left unexplored on the map. Noah decided to finish the task once and for all.

°°°

So thats brings Noah infront of the dark cave entrance. Ready to face whatever is inside. After tree months of training and preparations.
