4. Training Complete. Now, To the City!

  It has been three months since I secluded myself in this forest. There were times when I wanted to see the city of this other world, but I held back that urge and focused on training. However, now that the weather is getting colder, I think it’s time to head to the city. That means leaving behind this home I’ve built. I feel a little lonely.

  Looking at it again, I can’t help but be impressed with what I managed to create in just three months.

  First, my house. I used Green Magic to manipute the earth and shape it into a pit-house-style shelter. The furniture, too, was all made from earth. I even used White Magic to create a kind of barrier, which turned out to be great for both hygiene and security.

  For food, I occasionally encountered venomous bears and boars. I survived by using Blue Magic to slow them down, then enhancing my body with Red Magic to get close, and finally burning them with Red Magic. Since I didn’t have any sharp weapons like swords or knives, I used Green Magic to detect poison in their bodies, purified the meat with White Magic, and then cooked it thoroughly over fire. At first, it tasted awful. Later, I found out that I should have drained the blood properly before eating. Too much trouble. After that, I just buried all the meat in the ground. Still, there are way too many venomous beasts in this forest. Why? I should ask someone about this ter.

  For the toilet, I combined Bck Magic and White Magic to create a small bck hole underground and fixed it in pce. I just did my business over that. The first time, I made the bck hole too big and almost got sucked in. That was close. I nearly died another ridiculous death. Lesson learned. After some adjustments, I made it safe and even added a protective barrier and a handle for extra security.

  For sleeping, I created a bed using a barrier from White Magic that had esticity. I filled the barrier with water using Blue Magic, making it into a sort of waterbed. By adjusting the water temperature with Red Magic, I was able to sleep comfortably. However, when I woke up in the morning, the water had cooled down, making it hard to get up. If only I could regute the temperature while sleeping… That’s a problem to solve in the future.

  Honestly, I don’t want to leave such a nice home, but I need to see the city, experience its atmosphere, and understand how people in this world think and live.

  …It’s not like I’m just craving properly prepared meat, okay!? It’s not because I’m jealous of people who can actually eat their food properly!!

  Alright, I have enough nuts with me, and my clothes should be fine—I wash them every day with a mix of Blue and White Magic that works like detergent, so they shouldn’t smell. *Sniff sniff.* Yep, no problem.

  Now, the st step. I used Bck Magic to erase my house completely. I focused, imagined it disappearing, and a dark substance wrapped around the entire structure. A moment ter, both the bck mass and my house vanished completely. Success.

  Now I can leave without any regrets.

  "Alright, let’s go to the city!!"

  And with that, I set off on my journey.
