"That was exhausting right Celine?"
"You're right Master. Who knew making a base was this exhausting. Luckily we're done for now."
What once was a simple cave with a bed has now turned into a seemingly normal log cabin. However the inside of this cabin far differs from its outer appearance as using Space Magic the space inside has been greatly expanded. It has a fully decorated and usable kitchen and bathroom that worked alongside magic. There is one bedroom with a large bed for Celine and Vance to share.
"Well now that we're done with making the base we should probably try to find the way out of the forest."
"Master you could just use magic to fly up and see the way out or create a map so why are we just going to wander?"
"Well it seems a bit more fun. And it will give me more time to practice Creation and think of skills upgrades to the system and whatnot to create. But if it makes you feel any better I will be using a little magic to get the general direction for us to go in."
"Well if it helps Master get stronger then I'm willing to go along with it."
"I knew you'd support me Celine. You really are cute."
Saying this Vance hugs and pets Celine who starts to blush.
"Well then lets head off. Ah. But first I should probably make a barrier around the house so no-one can just wander in. Hmm... I think I'll make it so it will alarm me if someone wanders in as well. Who knows, it might come in handy eventually."
After creating the barrier Vance and Celine began to head off in a direction selected at Vance's discretion. As they walked, while chatting, Vance passively created objects and stored them in his Inventory to practice Creation.
"Master, are you enjoying your new life so far with me and your powers?"
"Of course Celine. You know this kind of thing, being isekai'd was actually something I would dream of quite often in my last life. So far it hasn't let me down. I have OP powers and a cute girl by my side. So I don't really have any complaints."
Hearing Vance say that she is cute Celine shyly looks down and blushes.
"Master you think I'm cute?"
"What guy wouldn't. You are a perfect 10/10 Celine and I'm glad to have you with me."
Hearing this Celine began to cling onto Vance's arm
"Ehehe. Master's sweet."
After this endearing moment they continued on for an hour until they stumbled upon another Mist Bear.
"Ohoho. Looks like I'll be able to see just how good my magic is. Let's test it and call it revenge shall we?"
Vance says this with a malicious grin on his face and raises his left hand and...
"Sever."
Says one word which sends an almost transparent silver crescent towards the mist bear and...
*Slash*
*Gshhh*
The bear drops dead gushing out blood.
"Wow. Space Magic can be really really lethal huh?"
"Master Space is one of the most powerful magics just based on the concept of space itself. It has the power to sever most anything."
"Very interesting. Hmm. It would be a waste to just leave this here. Might as well put it in the Inventory."
After Vance puts the Mist Bear corpse in his Inventory the pair continue on their way.
Eventually the two find themselves at an area with a bright light coming from ahead. Walking forward the trees begin to become scarce. They have reached the edge of The Forest of Lost Souls.
