I lived in the room inside the wall for 1 week as I thought out a plan for me to grow stronger, I am now 5 years old and look like a 12 years old boy, and in the next few years I will grow into a full-fledged male dark elve, I intend to take advantage of my fast growth to forge myself a strong body.
browsing the store I found many interesting items that could help me with my limited funds, I didn't bother checking the higher grade items and only looked in the first 4 grades, those which I could afford,
it wouldn't do me any good to dream about the higher grade ones either, from my memories I learned that laying a strong foundation leads you a long way, and I intend to build a strong foundation in the beginning, of course, there are some purchases that could directly give me that foundation but they are too expensive, and of a higher grade than what I intend to play with for now, not to mention that it wouldn't be fun, so even if I could afford it I will not buy them.
for now, the most important thing to do is to survive, the underground world is very dangerous, and I am but a weak elven child, I look so skinny, so I need to add meat to my diet soon,
the first thing I need to do is to strengthen my body and learn how to fight and hunt, for now, I have chosen to use the dagger as a weapon, but if I am unarmed I will be helpless so I needed to learn unarmed combat as well, also I need to have knowledge of the creatures and plants in the underground world, also information about the history of the world just in case; some general knowledge.

so I searched the store baring in mind those criteria, the first thing I found is about the fighting experience and the use of the dagger and unarmed combat.
ITEM : memory crystal ( intermediary dagger mastery) PRICE : 900 points Description :
high tech from the XX universe, made by the ascendant XX race, the crystal contains the experience of a dagger user in the art of dagger combat from basic to the intermediary, put on the forehead for data transfer
ITEM : memory crystal ( intermediary unarmed combat mastery, savage demon school) PRICE : 2596 points Description : high tech from the XX universe, made by the ascendant XX race, the crystal contains the experience of a pugilist in the art of unarmed combat from basic to the intermediary, the pugilist was part of the savage demon school, which is known for its violent fighting style from punching to kicking to grappling, put on the forehead for data transfer ITEM : insight III PRICE : 7692 points Description : a supernatural ability that gives you information on the target, info depends on the grade, the higher the grade of the target the lesser the information, use soul power to initiate, activate by chanting the name of the ability inwards or outwards, caution not to use excessively as it drains the soul and user would feint ITEM : intro to the world PRICE : 200 points Description : a book containing various information on the world of Vadares written in English ITEM : 5 years training schedule (custom) PRICE : 500 points Description : a 5 years program custom made for the user of the system to lead him into the peak of dark elve fitness
that was all I would be needing for now, and it made a huge pump into my pocket, all that cost me 16'000 points in total leaving me with a small number of points. I got my purchases and so I started with the memory crystals.

the first one I used was unarmed combat, I put the crystal on my forehead, and then I felt as if I have gone into a dream, in that dream, I spent 10 years training techniques of the savage demon and sparring with fellow disciples, most of the sparring session ended with one of us injured badly or me killing my opponent, it wasn't called savage demon school for show, at the end of the dream I woke up and felt as if I became an expert in CQC, the crystal though turned to powder causing me to sneeze.
then I used the dagger crystal, this time it was a different experience in the dream, this time I was a young man on the streets, and the only thing I had was a dagger, I was a hoodlum and would go around doing dirty jobs and threatening people among other things, but one day I was caught and had to choose between the rope or to work for the government, it obvious what I chose, the training I received was on daggers and knives only, the other pieces of training were skipped in the dream so I didn't experience them, I was trained as a scout at first but then I was trained as an assassin and in my service, I used only daggers, in the dream, I didn't experience anything not related to daggers and then woke up with new knowledge in me.
once done with the crystals, I felt my body uncomfortable, it was weaker than what I remember and my body very sluggish, I guess that now there is a gap between my experience and the state of my untrained body, but it isn't something training won't fix.
insight was easy to use I just needed to chant the name in my head and information about the thing would pop-up in my head. I feel a little drain after each use, I can do 5 insight in a row before feeling like collapsing for now, that is why I went to bed on the hard and cold stone immediately and left the last purchase for tomorrow.

Join Walton in his final journey as he figures out if his principals are just as important when there is nothing left to lose. Combating hypocrisy, youth, bad diet practises and a general lack of respect towards humanity, Walton's struggles are the true adventure of the everyday man. A story about unlikely friendship, being old, unexpected beauty, and the obsession of kicking a round leather ball in the best way possible. A story about a new world, and its possibilities. A story about the grass, and let us hope, a small bit of glory? Author note: This is a project of mine I started in 2016 and recently been writing for again. Writing for me is something I love to do, but can't always find the time for. This is also the reason I have not finished (or come close to) Ethereal Space yet. I get distracted. I started this novel intending to create something else, to break a bit with the current go to's story wise in the litRPG or virtual reality communities. So, this is my attempt at "Something different" I would love feedback or just your general opinion. But most of all, I hope it entertains. Enjoy!

Wet world wonderland.
A young girl of 16 years dies by drowning, and is reincarnated as a living Puddle of Water.Through many fantastical fun filled and wacky adventures our Protagonist will lead a better life than her last.Thank you for your time. Something I want to add, is that this story is written in first person, and I plan to carry on with it for a LONG time.-(Maybe thousands of chapters in size, until the story literally runs out of any potential to keep going.) So yes, there's still a lot of mystery and build up I have planned for future adventures. Wet World Wonderland is a story primarily concerned with the depth and complexity of its world and characters. So forgive me if something seems off, or isn't made immediately clear. I would love to talk, but try and consider that I might have something planned.(Not that you can't still criticize, of course. If you've got an opinion on something, I'd love to hear it.) If you plan on rating WWW, please read until chapter 20. WWW isn't the kind of story you can start judging from the first five chapters. Although, I admit I'm not so sure if 20 chapters in is good enough to judge it either, but I would still advise reading to at least that point. Also, if you have a problem with something in the story, please PM me, and I would love to talk about it. As of 1/19/2021 I have just added WWW's (Wet World Wonderland's) New Cover-Art. I know it's a bit weird, and probably sudden. And with all things considered, it may never make sense. But canonically with lore and info that has, or will be revealed in coming chapters, you might be able to put something together. Anyways, I hope you like it. Also, new symbol, at the top left of the image, hope you all like that too.As of 5/16/2022 the revised cover art for WWW has been uploaded, same as before with the first cover art. I hope you like it. Cover Art Credit goes to Itreallyisyaboi. They're on Instragram.
