《The Great Nok Ma》Chapter 5: It's the porridge
Advertisement
It's noon already. Oh shit I overslept this kimd sleeping habit should be stopped I told myself. I usually wake up before the sun rises before when i was normal. May be it's because of the healing process that my body is undergoing but I need to fix this before I get used to it.
I look around and saw another bowl of porridge on the table beside the books. I tried to stand up and was satisfied with my body. It's easier to move around now.
I walk to the table and sat down.
'This books are really thick it will take me forever to study these books.' I murmured while examining the two books that rashka gave me.
I took the book that was covered in leaves. I'll eat the porridge later,afraid to sleep again before doing anything productive.
I open the book and read the title ' Plants and vegetation of the Pyshoa continent.'
Maybe thats what they call this country that I know of before, because with our size now even a small island can be called a country.
I flip the title page and took a peek at the contents of the book, I jump to the page of ' plants and vegatation of the Lymore Kingdom '. Thats the kingdom where alderdyfi is located. I started on reading the chapter immidiately.
*knock knock knock*
I was awaken from my trance on reading by the hard knocks on the door after which the grumpy kril entered with a bowl and a cup on his hand.
'You haven't eaten your food, don't be a wastrel others would kill for that stuff you know.' he said with contempt.
'It's already dark outside,eat this while being nice or else.'
After he said that I took a peek at the window just to see that it really is dark outside already.

'I'm sorry I didn't know.' I told him with an apologetic smile.
'Of course you don't.' he said while shoving me the bowl of new porridge and the cup of water.
'Finish both of them immediately if I come back and see even a tiny grain still left on those bowls. Then you will leave me no choice but to show you what you don't know.' kril said with a threat, but seeing his old face and the fact that he can't even walk properly without a crane made me smile inside.
He's pretty sweet for a grumpy old man i thought.
'Yes sir. I'll finish them both immediately' while taking a spoonful of porridge into my mouth.
'That's more like it boy' he said with a grin before leaving.
I ate both bowls as fast as I can to go back on studying. I only read a third of the chapter and still can't remember some of the plants that I've read.
After checking both bowls,if there is anything left, I chug the cup of water. Then came back on studying again.
After sometime the dizziness that I hate kicked in.
'So it really is the porridge' I told myself. Well it's better to hit the sack before I fall asleep on the table.
I returned to my bed and try to recall the plants that I've learned so far from the book. And out of the 107 plants that I've read I can recall atleast 43, together with their medicinal properties, structural details, species and variations , and their habitats. I was astonished with my memory because I'm pretty sure that I can't do that before.
'Becoming smaller came with great benefits' I thought. Now I wonder even more how the others are doing , did they improved like me after shrinking or am I a special case. I'll know that sooner or later but for now I need to focus on the upcoming trials.
Before I can try to recall some more I fell asleep.

Petmaster Evolutions
This is a story about an ordinary earthling that sees the impossible and because of that gets kidnapped and introduced the the system called Odyssey which infects planets with mana to create monsters. This story will follow his journey through his trials. I do not believe in overpowered so I will not allow the MC to get to god mode. Since I started writing, the story has evolved some from chapter 1 on through as some stuff just did not make sense and in my mind the story has become clearer. Eventually I will have to go back and edit the beginning chapters to match the rest of the story but I do not have time at the moment. I will update as often as possible but I work full time, school full time, and have a 18 month old and an infant. I make no promises on time between new chapters. Honestly I did not expect people to follow the story and I just wanted to write for the fun of it and to see how the story that was running around in my head came out. I appreciate all of you who take the time to read my story and help me make it better by pointing out any mistakes I make. The only editing and proofreading I manage to do is the word app Grammarly so I miss things sometimes.
