《Otherworld?》Chapter 6: New Discoveries!
Advertisement
I got up and put my boots on as fast as possible and then went out to check what was happening.
I didn't see much details because it's pretty dark but from the light of the moon, what I saw was this big dragon looking thing with huge wings flying over. It went towards south of the lake at an alarming speed as if it was running away from something. It just kept flying further and farther away until I can't see it anymore.
“Whoah... there are really dragons here...!” In awe, I confirmed another evidence that I'm really not in the same world anymore...
“I hope it's not being followed. It looks like it was flying away from something.” I said while looking around, worried if I have to run too just in case but there doesn't seem to be anyone or anything that followed it. I let out a sigh of relief while holding my chest. It felt like my heart is about to burst out from beating so hard.
I calmed myself down while looking over the lake to see what fell on the lake that made that loud splash. There were still big ripples of water starting from the center of that big round thing bouncing up and down, floating in the water.
“I wonder what it is. It's too dark to see.” squinting my eyes to make out what it was but I couldn't see it properly. I took out my flashlight and I started walking towards the shore. I still couldn't see it even with the light shone on it. I hope it's not a monster. It doesn't seem to move at all.
“I wonder if I can use magic to bring that thing over. All I have are attacks though.” while saying so, I thought of something that might work.
If I can create a new magic, then I might be able to bring that over to the shore. I've leveled up a few times already and I haven't learned any new magic or skills yet. So it's either I need to create new magic from scratch, learn it from books or scrolls, receive tutelage from someone, or get it from using items like Magic Books/Scrolls that will disappear after one usage. I didn't find any of those items in my [IS] so that's not an option right now.
Magic is all about imagination and focus. If I can make a new one, then there are countless of possibilities I can do with it later. So for this instance, I should imagine a gust of wind blowing from the opposite side of the lake to bring that thing over.
I put away the flashlight in my pocket and held my hand straight pointing towards the ball thing and I imagined the wind blowing it towards me.
*Whoosh* A sudden burst of wind started blowing and it's slowly making that thing floats towards me.
*Ding*

“Ooooh~ it really worked!” I blurt out in excitement.
I kept at it until it made it in front of me. I had to step in the water to grab it.
“This is.... a huge egg?” I said while picking it up. It's fairly heavy and about 1 foot in length.
“I wonder if it's some kind of bird's egg or better yet, a dragon's egg! Let's see here... Appraisal.”
[ Dragon's Egg: It's extremely rare to see one since the dragon's eggs are usually left in the nest, while the mother hunts for food. It usually hatches between 5-10 years depending on the type of dragon. ]

“Wow~ Lucky~ I just found something rare! Hopefully that dragon won't come back for it or else I'm toast... literally. Hahahaha” I said cheerfully.
“I wonder, how do you hatch this? Maybe I can be a dragon tamer~ That would be cool! Although it takes 5-10 years... that's too long. I'll keep it in the [IS] for now~” putting it away as well as my flashlight.
Anyways... It's gotten late. I should really sleep soon. I used "Clean" on me again and went back in my tent. I lied down and fell asleep in no time.
The next morning, I woke up a bit late and the sun was already high when I got up. I was planning on waking up early to go fishing but I didn't set up an alarm on my phone since I didn't wanna drain the battery even though I have a solar charger. I'm not sure if that works here. Gotta try that out today.
It's not that cold now since the sun is up but I wonder if it's closer to spring or fall right now.
Anyways for breakfast, I sat down and prepared it on the table. I decided to have bacon, eggs, toast and coffee.
“I love you [IS] for giving me bacon! And God, I forgive you a little since you gave me unlimited food. Thank you!” as I started eating my food.
I'm really grateful though since I would never have to worry about being hungry, even in the middle of nowhere. I can focus on other things rather than hunting and cooking. That saves me a lot of time to do something more productive like training and learning new things.
For example that Magic Creation I did last night. That was easier than I thought, might be because of all the stories I've read, watched and played before. For once, I'm proud to be an otaku~ hahaha~
I should experiment it with other elements too later today. Now, back to my main purpose why I camped out here by the lake~ Fishing!
I took out my fishing rod, reel and tackle box and walked towards the lake. I found a nice shady spot near the beach where I set up camp. I took out a chair and table and placed my tackle box on it.
I also set some barrier stones around me since I don't wanna get attack by those furballs while I'm busy fishing.
I assembled my rod and attached a spinner lure on it to see if I can catch anything with it. Later, I'll look for worms too because that's probably the most effective bait for fishing. I could probably use some shrimp or other meat from my [IS] too if I can't find worms.
Now I'm all set, I went near the water and casted my line as far as possible. I started reeling it steadily for the spinners to work. Nothing bit on my first try. I kept doing it for a while and finally something tugs my line! I lifted up my rod and started reeling it in. I caught a decent size bass!
“Nice~ so there are similar fishes here as well. That's good to know~” I have this big smile on my face then...
*Ding*
[ New Skill: Fishing ]
“So I can learn new skills by trying it out. That's good to know as well~” I smiled again.
I continued fishing for a few hours and caught some more bass, walleye, rainbow trout and perch using different lures and baits.
“Pretty good hall for my first time fishing here.” feeling satisfied, I packed up and left for lunch.

I went back to the camp and decided that I want to try cooking the fresh fish I caught today~ The fresher, the better taste you'll get out of fish.
I started the campfire first then I gutted and washed a few perch I caught. I placed it on a plate and put some salt, pepper and spices on it. I skewered the fish using the grilling sticks that I brought with me and placed them around the campfire.
While waiting, I tried charging my phone using the solar charger. Apparently it works here too. I have tons of music in my SD card so I decided to play some. I turned up the volume and waited for a bit while singing along and playing around with my phone, occasionally getting up to turn the fish so it would cook evenly. Finally it's done. I placed them on a plate on the table.
First time I manage to catch and cook my meal in this world. Although it's only a grilled fish, I still feel accomplished that I didn't rely on my [IS] this time. Well, except for rice... I took out a bowl of steamed rice, soy sauce, lemon and some juice from my storage and placed it on the table. I poured some soy sauce in a saucer and squeeze the lemon on it.
“It's perfect~ Time to eat!”
“Grilled perch is awesome~” as I took a bite on my fish after dipping it in soy sauce and lemon juice.
I finished my meal and I still have some leftover fish so I put them inside my storage for now.
I want to try and create more magic today so I moved further away from camp just in case something went haywire. I went around on the opposite side of the lake and I met more of those fuzzballs. I took care of them pretty easily.
I checked around to see if there are anymore but it looks like it's clear for now. I then decided to do something similar with the Wind Manipulation last night with the rest of the elements and maybe create a new one as well. It's an experiment after all. Let's do fire first.
I faced the lake and held up my hand. I imagine a fire bursting out from my hand and moved it from left to right and up and down. It started pretty small from my hand and expanded to a huge stream of flame following the direction of where I pointed my hand. It flew about 20 feet away from me and then I let it fade away until it disappeared.
*Ding* another familiar sound came.
[ Magic Creation: Fire Manipulation ]
Neat~ I did the same with Water right after that.
*Ding*
[ Magic Creation: Water Manipulation ]
As for Earth, I tried to create a platform on the ground with rocks, flattened it and tried to smooth it like pavement.
*Ding*
[ Magic Creation: Earth Manipulation ]
This will be useful later for creating a house or something. Imagining the things I can do with this makes me grin so wide, I feel like my face was ripping. I also did a vertical wall using the same technique about 5 inches in thickness. I could probably build a house with this. I wonder if I can create wood using earth and water. I'll try that out later.
Next is Ice. Hmm... I wonder if I can make an Ice Sculpture with this. Since I'm at a lake, I tried to freeze the lake surface and sculpted a big fish. It started freezing the water from the shore and rosed up forming a walleye looking fish. I nodded and said
“It looks pretty decent.” I give off a satisfied look while grinning.
*Ding*
[ Magic Creation: Ice Manipulation ]
As for Light, I imagined a big ball of bright light to illuminate the surroundings. It started forming on my hand with a little glow and as it gets bigger, it kept getting brighter and brighter. It started floating in front of me and rises above my head level. It was as bright as the lamp I used last night.
*Ding*
[ Magic Creation: Light Manipulation ]
“Awesome! Now I can probably use this to travel at night or for camping.” I gave off another big smile.
I don't know what to do with Dark and Time & Space Magic so I'll pass on that for now.
Now then, for experimenting in creating a new element, I want to try and make Wood or Plant Magic. There will be a lot of things I can do with it if I learn it.
I turned around to face a tree and pointed my hand toward it. I imagine a small sprout of vine coming out of the ground right next to it and made it grow as fast as possible to wrap up the tree.
I noticed a green bud started protruding from the ground right next to the tree. It grew to a long thick stem with leaves and thorns around it in no time. It started branching off to a bunch of smaller vines while it crawled and wrapped itself around the tree. It was a success!
*Ding*
[ Created a New Skill: Plant Magic ]
[ Magic Skill: Vine Bind ]
“Nice~ I can make wood now... probably~ Let's try something else.”
I turned to an open area and imagined something similar and but instead of wrapping around a tree, I imagined it formed a thick wall of vines. It grew so fast and thick and then it started twisting and weaving while it bends around me and form a bowl shape. I couldn't see anything through it since there was no gap in between.
*Ding*
[ Magic Creation: Plant Manipulation ]
[ Magic Skill: Vine Wall ]
“Cool~ I succeeded again! I wonder if I can make something with wood now too...”
I moved away from the vine wall to another open space and tried imagining a wood wall. The wood grew from the ground up into a square shape about 5 inches thick and 2 meters in height and 2 meters wide. It worked!
*Ding*
[ Magic Skill: Wood Wall ]
I raised both my arms in a victory pose and started laughing.
“Whoohoo~ This is awesome! I don't think there's any limit to what I can do with this as long as I can imagine it. bwahahah~” I laughed while jumping up and down.
Then while doing so, a great idea just popped in my head. If I can put something like a tent in the [IS], then I wonder if I can maybe put a house or a little cottage in it. Maybe an outpost too since it's really embarrassing to do my business out in the open.
I couldn't help but smile again. But it's getting late now as I looked at my watch. I should try this out tomorrow. I'm also getting tired. I think I used up quite a bit of my MP.

“Hmmm... I used up about half of my MP. Not bad though.”
I walked back to the camping area and cleaned myself up before eating dinner. I have so much I wanna do tomorrow so I'll go to sleep early today.
“Goodnight~”
