Elias surveyed his newly merged Island full of grasses. He began wondering if he could eat them? He kneeled and uprooted some and tasted them.
To his surprise, the ones that came to his Island due to merging were edible while the ones he took from the Mutated Rats were poisonous!
Finding food, he uprooted some of them and ate them with all the roots and soil without a care in the world. He crawled to the puddle of water that was about to dry and sucked in the water. Even though he can see it was dirty, he cares not!
After that, he felt a refreshing feeling in his stomach and then he felt his body become hot, then it became very cold. In the end, he became normal. And then he falls asleep.
Elias Gobarau wakes up with full strength and a full stomach. It was then that he felt he was back to normal! No, he is better than before.
Touching his Wand a series of notifications assaulted his head.
[Congratulations on having a full recovery due to eating a Medicinal Herb. Check Wand Interface for more information]
He first checked his Island and discovered that he had slept by hugging the Cursed Chest.
"Wand Interface," he said.

Looking at his level that jumped from level 0 to level 10, he was confused. At first, he thought the level display belonged to his Island, but it seemed his Island was different.
All in all, he has conquered two Islands against Mutated Rats and also merged with one Island that has those edible grass.
'Hmm, it seems all the rocks and stones on my Island are not counted as resources. Only, the Cursed Chest is considered one. And also my Island has expanded to 7 meters in Diameter. Does that mean I can keep expanding the island?'
He hoped that would be the case.
Seeing that he has a lot of time he sat down trying to think about what was happening to him. And ponder questions such as:
How did he come here?
Who brought him here?
And why is he here?
Is he the only one or are there others?
After finalizing the question he entered the Wand Shop, then Information. And bombarded it with such questions.
Sadly, there is no substantial answer that will satisfy him. The responses are either;
[No enough information to Answer]
or
[Incorrect Entry]
After his failed attempt, he entered Tangible Items to see if there was anything to buy. Nothing worth mentioning but his theory is confirmed.
The Wand can only give him what he already has or somehow knows. Maybe it may give a better version but it was limited to that. He believed that if he had checked the Wand Shop when the Mutated Rat was not eaten by the Cursed Chest he would have seen it listed within the Tangible Items.
Because what he saw from the Wand Shop, Tangible Items now, are a bunch of Rock and Soil for sale.
Putting aside his Wand he picked the Rectangular shaped flat metal that dropped from the Mutated Rat and pointed his Wand at it.
[Artifact Detected]
~Type: Unindexed Artifact
~Name: Coward Stance
~Ability: Disguise
[This Artifact is capable of hiding the true appearance and power of the holder, especially in front of a certain danger!]
After finishing reading the description he was able to understand what the Wand asserted during his first encounter with the Mutated Rat. It said that "Maybe the Mutated Rat gets its Disguise Ability from the Rare Chest.
And yes when he first saw the Mutated Rat, it was small like normal rats he knew but, when it entered his Island it became big.
It turns out that the Mutated Rat got the Disguise Ability from this Rectangular Metal. He fiddles with it wondering how this will help him, knowing for sure that the Artifact will only show the weakness of a person to make onlookers underestimate him.
He sighed, and just swallowed it. It might come in handy, now or in the future!
His thought then drifted into thinking about his wife, was she brought here together with him?
But, without substantial proof or anything that suggests anything he tossed the questions at the back of his mind!
He first needed to secure food and water. And make sure he equipped himself well to fight the beasts in case he met them.
Elias began driving his Island around and checking any Island that was close, through its shadow to see if it was safe. But, no luck, as in almost all the shadows he checked, there was bound to be a beast growling.
And now that he was fully awake with a clear head he can see that some beast can feel him come close and ready to pounce on him. There is one that even follows him with its Island. All he did was run away without letting it come with his 10-meter clear fog.
He was in that situation of searching for an empty Island that had food or water, he halted abruptly. His heartbeat was racing in wonder.
"Wait!" Elias shouted. A realization hit him.
"Wand Interface" he shouted.

He read the name of the Islander, again and again, about one hundred and fourteen times, and then shouted,
"Who the hell is Elias Gobarau?"
