"Yes" "Here is a book on item crafting. When I opened it I was in awe the pictures were colorful and the handwriting was perfect.

I took the book home where I studied up on mana items. I knew that the next closest outpost was there for item crafting.

I wondered what items I could craft. The day passed with me researching items. Most of them were weapons but some things like a boat engine or beautiful clothing were made there too.

I wasn't going to watch grand elder today I knew what I was going to eat. When the chef saw me back he was happy. He handed me a plate with cooked mammoth on it and berries on the side..I got the food to go I ate in my room while going over the items that were made at the item outpost.

I only had 200 mana so I wasn't ready to go yet. The mammoth meat strengthened my body it didn't increase mana regen.

I knew the first item I wanted to make was a pouch that sucked stuff in and had space in it because of the void attribute.

After thinking about what I was going to make I went over to madisons house and sat on a chair outside in the sun. Madison came outside and set a chair down next to mine.

"We need a wood deck and more comfortable chairs". "That would be nice I said while I lounged on the chair.

"I was just thinking the same thing". I said to her. With that said we went to the marketplace and bought a bunch of wood. It took us multiple trips but we got it done. I hammered all of the nails in and we had a deck to sit on. "This is nice," I said. "Im getting stronger just by sitting here"

"You are? I thought accumulated mana didn't lead to a stronger body". she said

"The more friends I have the stronger I get," I said.

"You have more people to rely on". While I sat in the sand I spoke "Yes, that's how I see it".

We talked for a little while longer. I checked how much mana I had and it said 500.

"Its time for me to go home". I lifted myself out of the chair. Before I could react madison kissed me on the cheek. "Come back soon" she said to me.

I walked back to my house while thinking about things I wanted to craft. I went to bed and woke up super late. I decided to stay at my house for the day. I continued to look at magic items in the book.

The next day I got up my first thought was how much I missed clara. I got depressed thinking about it. I went over and had a brief conversation with madison. after that I went and ate some mammoth and then went home and went to bed. I had 900 mana. I was really focusing on mana production before I did anything. I stayed out of the shade all day long and just sat on a chair in my courtyard.

I passed my days accumulating mana until I had 2000 . It had been roughly four days of accumulating mana.

I went to the crafting building I found a thousand year octopus in a jar in the back. I put it in the crafting chest and while thinking about becoming ethral instead of just invisible I made my second tier two legend ring. It had a octopus that floated around and changed colors on it.

I put the ring in my pocket and went home ate some mamoth and then went to sleep. The next day when I got up I went to the gates to talk to grand elder about ability ring delivery. I showed him the ring.

Ethrel~ Get the power to let objects go through you.

Grand elder looked surprised and sad because rose didn't have as good a ring. He promised to deliver it anyway along with the few rings that were made for money purposes. There was a wagon trader who went to all of the outposts and brought back what was made at them for the sandbar. So they could better prepare for when they tried to take part of the mainland back.

After that was complete I made my way to madisons house. I sat out on top of the deck in my chair. She walked up behind me and gave me a hug.

"Hey I've missed you were did you go". "I was making a legendary ring for a friend of mine.".I said.

We sat next to each other. "About what you did before you left I never said how amazing you are for that".

"Thank you so much". "Can we be dating?" she said."

"You mean like boyfriend-girlfriend I asked".

"Im going to leave too the Items outpost soon."

"You are? but you just got back". I looked over at her and said "yes".

"I got excited to go after seeing all of the things that they build over there. I checked a book out on it and I've been reading it ever since".

"Alright Ill just say were dating not boyfriend girlfriend yet".

"That sounds good to me."

"I just like being around you" she said to me.

"I like you too" I sad to her. "Enough to let me sit on your lap?"

"Yes" with that she stood up from her chair walked over and sat down in my lap.

It felt kind of nice it was awkward to have someone sitting on your lap. But I endured because we were dating.

"Do you like seeing the sun set with me?" she asked me.

"Of course I do I said to her. Its even more special with you here.

"Im glad you came into my life."" she said to me. "It was a smart decision on my part. I said.
