[ You have respawned at [ Mythical Redwood Elppa Tree ] . ]

[ You have regained all previous belongings, including your [spacial backpack], [ miscellaneous contents of [spacial backpack] ], and [ Burnt remains of [ Iron tier armor ] . ]

"Hey, I liked that armor..."

[ Additionally, you have gained me, [ System 467868 ] ! ]

"Okaay... What can you do?"

[ I can give you extremely useful information, provide a map, and accompany you through your adventures ! ]

"And nothing else?"

[ Nothing else. ]

"Why can't I have a useful system, like the people in all the other fantasy novels?"

[ What? ]

"Forget it."

Bob decided to open the map to help decide where to go next.

"Open the map."

[ Map opened. ]

Bob frowned as he looked at the map.

Though very limited, it was also detailed, showing him every cave, city, oasis, cliff, and valley within the radius of a few miles.

Apparantly, there was a large city a few miles into the barren desert, which Bob had avoided thinking about during his stay at this new world.

Speaking of which...

"System, what's the name of the planet I'm currently residing on?"

[ The name of the planet you are currently residing on is [ Eman Tenalp ].

"Whoever comes up with these names lacks creativity."

[ The God(ess) of [ Boredom ] says [ Well, can you come up with any better name? ] . ]

"Good point."

Bob decided to head into the barren desert in search of the large city, where he would hopefully be able to buy some items of higher quality.

As Bob walked through the seemingly endless sea of sand, he decided that the seemingly useless hoodie that he bought earlier was, in fact, pretty useless.

The black hoodie would keep the sun off of him, but it would probably also toast him, courtesy of its color.

Bob took it off and wondered how much longer he would have to walk.

"System, about how long do you think it'll take for me to reach the city?"

[ At your current speed, it is estimated that it would take four(4) more hours for you to reach [ Desert city ] if you continue at your current speed. ]

Bob groaned and continued walking.

After walking for what seemed to be four hours and was, in fact, three hours, Bob finally saw the outline of a large city.

"YES!"

Bob sprinted at the city and fell on his face after tripping over his own feet.

He got up and looked at where the mirage had appeared.

[ This place isn't known as the [ Mirage Desert ] for nothing! It's famous for the mirages that appear within-- What you just saw is what the actual city actually looks like! The Goddess of earth created it when the God of wind's minions roamed freely over her land, stealing crops from the farmers to prevent them from trespassing on her territory. The famous mirages of this desert are most effective against those who use wind techniques, and least against those who use earth techniques. It worked! Today, 90% of all mages residing in this vast barren desert are earth elemen-]

"I DIDN'T ASK FOR THE USELESS INFORMATION!"

[ tals! The number of wind elemental mages here barely reach double digits! ]

[ Sorry! ]

Bob sighed and continued walking.

* * *

After what seemed to be three hours and a half and was really four hours, Bob spotted the actual city.

"HA! NOT GONNA BE FOOLED THIS TIME!"

Bob charged at the city gates.

Bob hit his head on the city gates, Alerting the guards and inflicting confusion upon himself.

"Ah, sh*t."
