Jonny was glad to be driving home but still missed his portal ring, he almost set up the turtle to talk to him in the passenger seat while he drove so he could ask it about space magic. But he felt he didn't have enough music in his life the last few days, so instead he cranked up his stereo on the way back.
He took a moment at a light to chose to make a few long turns so he could just enjoy the drive home a little longer, idly wondering if he would have this chance again or if the magic in his life would take over. From the way the others talk it was more likely to be the latter.
Pulling up into his driveway seeing the men back to work across the street, he hoped that Drew would hurry up on the portal down stairs so that he could get back into the workshop.
Jonny was surprise as anyone how much he had enjoyed the crafting side of things even though it felt like he had barley even started.
Getting out of the car and crossing the lawn he expected to hear the barking of the dog next door, and felt a horrible chill when it came back to his mind why the barking was gone.
He stood in the doorway for a moment seeing flashbacks of the blood covering the doorstep, and the body laying beside it.
'i think im going to move.' he thought after he was able to pull himself away from the memory.
Letting himself in the house he knew he could only move into the casino, and with how everything started because he was across the street form a magic portal it seamed unlikely that he would be aloud to get away.
He didn't like the shape of that thought as he sat at his desk pulling out the Turtle and woodpecker putting the water stone into the underside.
The bird fluttered and flew away before stating to peck the front door the turtle standing with its beady eyes staring at Jonny waiting for him to make the first move.
"Is there any way you can just get in the phone? I mean the book did." Jonny said unnerved by the staring black eyes.
"yes." it replied and blinked Jonny's phone went off.
"Tortoise and woodpecker app added"
"oh... thanks." he said pulling the stone out of the turtle and putting them both back into his pocket, he opened his phone to the new 'app' seeing it had 2 buttons on it at the start screen, woodpecker (search) Tortoise (archive).
He thought for a moment wondering exactly how far the woodpecker could go, and tried to remember how far the nearest book store was, but thought that with his screens hooked up to the internet he wouldn't need a book store.
He instead told it to search the house and find anything useful then scan it. The bird appeared next to him and started pecking at the table then started pecking on the tv.
After a moment of watching the woodpecker peck/scan the things on the desk before deciding to ignore it as long as he could.
Turning his phone to music and book mode he looked into the Tortoise files seeing the list of books and picking the magic item making.
The first part of the book was about the magic stones and metals worked to hold mana, a revue of the lessons found in the mana manipulation book, but then it told of the way to make the mana stones or metals last much longer or even produce there stored element instead of only storing it.

'geeze first it seamed like we'd have to worry about absorbing the world into stones, but now we can have unlimited energy and matter... this really is the end of the world isn't it?' Jonny thought shaking his head not sure of all the implications but sure that he had heard of a few apocalyptic movies starting out that way.
Turned out he was jumping the gun they produced the mana stored inside it, it was more like letting it go slowly instead of the continuous production he had thought.
There was a way to take energy that most people didn't even notice or went to waist and then use that to constantly refill the stones, using all the things around it by tinny amounts to fill them.
This of course had a problem if to meany of them where together in the same place then they wouldn't have the energy necessary to fill them all.
Then there was the more ways of making the energy but many of them needed size alteration to make them personal sized. For most items it was better just to use the ambient mana, the users mana, or to connect them to a network, with a large item generator.
There was plans for small generators using wind, solar, water, and even dark mana. Early mana collectors focused on waist and trash but people soon where unable to produce enough waist, and with new body changes that seamed nonviable.
He saw plans for things that looked like wheels, or plates with stones embedded inside them. It reminded Jonny of old drawing's of UFO's or flying saucers.
The energy makers were important for item making so that they could be programmed then set up to auto build or so that the craftsman could craft and not have to lose focus on there craft by the mana manipulation.
It also went on to state that a short cut to the crafting was to grow the metals around the crystals sense the crystals themselves were such mana absorbers it was hard to grow them, not impossible but it required one to put the base elements together instead of being able to simply add mana to it.
There was a chapter of making elemental mixes using periodic table of elements to the end of the mana manipulation book. An advanced mana manipulation book was just for Element combos and new minerals that mite not be known yet.
Of corse like everything you need samples of the base Elemental components before being able to combine them. Also in that book was a way to extract or divide objects into the elemental parts, using a spell. There was also spells to find the required components even inside other objects, life seamed to have the most mixing of these scientific elements just like how they seamed to be made of so many of the magic ones.
Jonny sent a txt to Drew "you get that portal set up across the street yet? wanna make a run for some gear... also when can I get one of those porters back?"
Jonny kept reading looking over the different designs for the generators and seeing what he needed for them. They seamed more like electronics then the magic circles seen in movies.
the txt from drew came back "just got it set up. I hear that one of them is going to wake up tomaro put there by you. lets see how he feels when he wakes up yeah?"
"good point... thanks." jonny texted back he had forgotten about Bucky and how he nearly died before Jonny put him into the bunk. 'wonder what kinda power hes going to get.' jonny thought as he got up and headed over across the street and into the bunker.

Thankfully Drew put the portal to the collage much closer to the stairway so it was a quick walk in, he saw Jason and Mike trying to read, Jason at a desk and Mike in one of the bunks.
He tried not to bother them as he headed into the hidden labs. Jonny grabbed a duffel bag off a cart on the way in before going into 'his' lab and grabbing the sand bag, and the crystals he could find witch was 20 of them, he wished he knew what quartz was made out of so he could ask drew if they had it so he could start making his own.
He thought about just staying and working at the lab like it was meant to be, but between the empty feeling in it and the way it creeped him out a little he just grabbed the basics and headed back to the collage.
Jonny was headed to one of the work stations, while he was here he wanted to find out how much he was thinking about working on was just sitting at the table.
Looking over the tables he saw that indeed along with the mana stone filling globe that he was after he also saw that the disks of metal that once seamed strange now just looked like mana generators.
Jonny looked closely at one and saw that it already had crystals inside it kept in place with a clasp over the top, so he could fill all the gems on there and start getting to work.
"couldn't stay away?" Jason asked from behind jonny making him jump a little turning off his music.
"oh... hey. Yeah I was reading about these things and was about to start making one when I remembered that there's already a bunch here." Jonny said gesturing to the devices.
"...i still don't even know what those things are." jason said looking over them.
"yeah a book on plants wouldn't help you with that." Jonny said with a smile before pointing and explaining all the devices he knew on the table. "this one is for crafting things like a 3D printer but using mana so it can be pretty much anything you want," he pointed to the thing that looked like a disc lamp with a tube coming off it,
"this one is for separating things into there base magic elements," he pointed to a thing that looked like a trash can with gems on top, "that one has a setting that is for science elements"
"that is for printing out living things." he said pointing at the microwave like thing with a hexagon embossed on the top. "you use it with the little figures"
"and this thing." he said pointing at the globe. "fills stones with the mana you want."
"damn..." Jason said looking around at the gear "this has so much potential... where to even start?"
"with making and filling mana stones." Jonny said pulling out a clear empty stone and putting it into the dissembler. After making sure it was set to science he turned it on watching the canister glow for a moment before the crystals on the top glowed a little only 2 of them filling in any real way, but others started filling a little as well.
"apparently it doesn't account for the air in the tube..." Jonny said looking at the stones using mana vision to see if he could tell what element mana was in the crystals, the only thing he could tell was they were mostly air based.
"so what is it made of?" Jason asked.
"no idea... give me a moment." Jonny said pulling up his phone and using the Hummingbird search on the gems.
To Jonny's surprise it added a second hummingbird on the system saying that the first was still out so it would send out a second one.
'holy fuck... how menny of these can I send out?' he wondered as the ghostly blue bird flew out of his screens to peck at the stones.
"now what is that?" Jason asked
"oh... its a gift from the guy who used to own this place its a bird that goes and learns things for me then comes back and tells it to the tortus base, then I hooked it up to my screens so now I have all the info in this place at my fingertips." jonny said trying not to sound smug
"no wonder Drew wanted to see it after learning the memories we had." Jason said shaking his head. "think you can make me one of those?"
Jonny thought about it. "...maybe I mean the guy who made it used this room so he mite have left notes on it."
"Cool." Jason said as the bird flew back into Jonny's system screen and brought up a new page with its findings.
"huh... its mostly silicon with a bit of oxygen... all the other air things..." Jonny said looking at the long list of things in the crystals.
"a google search could have told you that." Mikes voice from next to the both made them tern sharply in surprise. "I think its actually mostly 2 oxygen to one silicon... kinda like water but ...not."
"coulda said something before we trashed the crystal." jonny said shaking his head pulling out the crystals with oxygen and silicon.
"We'v got a whole crime organizing and bankrolling us." Mike said "i think we could afford to buy some rocks."
Jonny shook his head filling up the gems by hand putting duplication mana inside them so they would be filled with there elements.
"why aren't you just using the thing you said was for that?" Mike asked as Jason almost looked like he was also thinking that.
"im not sure how to use it yet and didn't want to waist any more gems." Jonny said focusing on filling the gem.
Jason frowned heading over to another table looking at something as Mike moved in annoyingly to stare at the symbols on the manna refill orb.
"yeah I can tell what ...half? of these are." mike said looking at the book shelf.
"got it!" Jason triumphantly said as crystals started to fall out of the box. "it doesn't just make the animals."
Jonny stopped what he was doing with the crystal blinking dumbly at the crystals as Mike began to laugh at him. It was a loud and deep slightly annoying laugh.
Jason gave Mike a disgusted look to the back of his head but quickly changed to a blank face when Mike started to turn around. "I just thought that if it could make a whole living thing wouldn't an empty stone be easier?"
"from what my book was telling me... no actually a living thing mite be easier." Jonny said "but considering how this place is made to help us learn and grow I should have thought that it could do it."
"did you just use any stone or was it a special one?" Mike asked.
"i think it was normal I just grabbed the first one I saw that looked the same shape off the UFO looking thing." Jason said pulling the gem off the top of the box to stop the gems from falling and to get a closer look at it.
"think it would work with a full one?" Jonny asked pulling out his water stone.
"give it a shot." Jason said with a half shrug.
Jonny put it onto the top of his own table's duplicator and blue crystal was formed inside. "il be damned." he muttered.
"iv got a chart that tells us what the elements are." Mike said holding a book standing near the mana filling orb.
"sweet where at?" Jonny asked looking over his own book shelf.
"The side of the table has a book in its own slot" Mike said
"i cant tell if that's convenient or they were hoping that we wouldn't find it." Jonny said pulling it out seeing that it was essentially an instruction manual for the objects on the table. "I feel like I just wasted most of the day."
"yeah thats how I felt every day of school" Mike muttered looking at the elements "it starts at page 40"
"thanks" Jonny said turning to the part of the book with the mana fill station witched was officially called mana imbuer but Jonny new he'd just call it the stone filler.
Looking over the list he was once again reminded how much this changed his world view, after the first part showing that the symbols were mostly used in a way to program the mana to become what you want it to be.
Or you could take a stone already with a little bit of the mana of the thing you wanted then put it into the filling portion of the device and set it to fill.
Witch was one of the basic symbols on the thing, that jonny had not understood until now.
"holy fuck..." Jonny said flipping through the book seeing that most of the rest of this one book was in fact just on this one mana refill device, the other objects on the table only needed about 4 pages between them on how to use them the right way.
"uah... yeah holy fuck." Mike said shaking his head trying to read over the same thing as jonny "it almost makes you wonder why they bothered building this thing at all."
"You've got a point." Jonny said squinting as he looked at the narrow printed lines. "It looks worth just putting points into learning this stuff so we don't have to spend the next 6 years trying."
Jonny's phone went off " '+' 15 points for mana programming mastery. you currently have 16'+' would you like to spend the points now?"
"...no." Jonny said seriously considering it for a moment.
"no what?" Jason asked unlike them he had put the book down as soon as he saw how complex it was and picked up his own book on plant manipulation.
"oh it just offered to let me buy mastery of mana programming for 15 points, I think im going to hold off and save up for something big." Jonny said.
"Like what?" Mike asked thinking. "honestly if that is everything I think it should be then 15 points really isn't that bad at all... you could become a god!"
"or it only works with the mana filling thing and im useless every where els." Jonny said.
"No." Mike said shaking his head looking annoyed "at worst you'd be more of a wizard then a god. I mean you can already manipulate mana and change things around you so if you where a master of the programming then you should be able to do it anywhere as long as you have a least a little of the base elements with you, I mean the soul mana stuff you can just make on the spot so it would take a while maybe but you could so some powerful shit my man."
Jonny thought about that seeing Mike's point and wondering how long it would take for the elemental programming to take effect or to make.
"Couldn't you also mix it with your "cell phone" power?" Jason asked looking thoughtful "its already works based on a program there for you could simply program your phone with the mana programming and then keep it saved so the next time you would only need to run the spell as easily as hitting the play button on a song."
Jonny just stared at Jason for a moment reeling at the power combo these 2 men had just told him about and not even sure where to start imagining the possibilities.
Mike walked over from his own table to Jason's holding his hand up and grinning "high 5 man that was great."
Jason had a strained smile but raised his had to receive the high-five from Mike.
Jonny stood there thinking hard, even biting on his lip a little a tick he didn't have sense high school.
"whats wrong?" Jason asked concerned for jonny.
"I... I just don't think I want to be that powerful..." jonny said uncertainty. "i mean yeah it could be useful but at the same time isn't that like living alone but buying an refrigerator truck just to make sure your groceries don't get to hot on the way home? Even if you could afford it and there was no upkeep you'd still have a big expensive truck for just a few bags."
"but you could do so much more with it too." MIke said confused by Jonny's attitude. "like helping other people with there food, or keeping cool in the summer, offering rides to people so they can keep there stuff cool."
"now your just making up reasons to use the thing you've already got." Jonny pointed out. "That just proves your better off not buying it in the first place."
Mike still seamed confused a little. "But this is so much more then that."
Jason just smiled a little approvingly at Jonny "i understand."
"If this is lunch hour why is no one eating?" Drew's voice made them all jump as he looked around at them cigg in the corner of his mouth before he took a deep drag.
"oh. well I guess thats my falt." Jonny said "But we found out some good stuff if you wanna ...do your remberball thing."
Drew looked at him finishing the cigarette looking like he was struggling a little with it before lighting a new one and doing the flashing blue light thing a wide smile came on his face as he looked around. "so you boys did find some good stuff, I got to tell you just having the memory's in my head ant the same as really learning."
He walked over to the pile of water stones. "yeah this is going to be a big help... il let you off the hook this time, and maybe all of you should go get a bite to eat talk about what you read so far."
The guys looked at each other then shrugged.
"I actually cant remember the last time I ate." Jason said.
"had to be some time today" Jonny said looking at his clock. "holy hell its ben 3 hours sense I got in here."
"fuck no wonder you came to chek in on us." Mike said shaking his head looking at Drew in an odd way.
Jason seamed to see it too as he raised an eyebrow at Mike before shrugging and getting up. "after that big point drop maybe we should bye speed reading."
Jason looked over a message "cool I just got a quest to read for 10 hours to get 3 points into reading speed."
"Damn we could all use that." Mike said hopefully and after a moment looked disappointed.
"I mean yeah I would have liked that quest too." Jonny said sympathetically when his phone dinged. "quest to read for 5 hours to get a 3 point reading increase?"
"da fuck?" Mike said angrily before a new notification appeared before him, He read it silently before nodding.
"well?" Jason couldn't help but ask.
"Oh its just saying I read faster then all of you so I don't need a quest." Mike said smugly "wasn't going to say anything but sense you asked."
"oh... good for you then" Jonny said.
"interesting..." Jason said. "i've always thought that I read slowly, its something I wanted to improve but wasn't sure how."
"I know what you mean." Jonny said interested.
"guys, this is interesting and all but I did just tell you to go get eating." Drew said a little annoyed.
"right sorry." Jonny said then only just remembering it he moved the bag he had brought with him under a table before him and the others headed to the casino portal to eat.
They mostly ate with out talking, each of them picking there own places in the buffet for there appetite. Then the plan was to eat so it wasn't until Jason got done with his food first that he started talking.
"Iv got to say, so far plant magic is much simpler than the mana programming." he said wiping his mouth before finishing his drink. "its mostly just taking seeds and putting mana into them then controlling where the mana goes to control there growth."
"really? that's it?" Mike asked mouth full of potatoes and ribs.
"well what seed you start with and what mana you put into it change a lot of things." Jason said. "so far I'm still reading on basic grass, moss, and ivy. But its got a lot of potential for contentious mana growth."
"living generators?" Jonny asked holding off on his next bite.
"thats right." Jason said.
"that's one of the first things the magic item making book talks about too. I wonder if one is better then the other at making mana." he said thoughtfully eating the bite.
"got to be." Mike said chugging his soda to wash the food down. "I mean why tell us all these different ways to do things if in the end they do the same thing?"
They thought about that for a moment before Jason said "it maybe a matter of resources, most plants grow nearly everywhere so a even here in the desert we could get a cacti generator, but we would be hard pressed to find enough metal and crystals in order to make anything on the tool table."
"thats a good point." Jonny said thinking about it. "especially if you could grow something that wasn't quite but pretty close to a mana stone with the plants."
"Is it hard to make stones?" Jason asked.
"Yeah in the book i'm reading its the hardest thing to make." Jonny said.
"yeah you said something about that when Jason put the stone on the box." Mike said "said you expected it to make animals but not stones."
"yeah..." Jonny saw that Jason was also surprised at Mike remembering what he said even if it was just a couple hours ago. "the way the stone absorbs mana so well makes it hard to use mana to grow it."
"That makes sense." Mike said pushing the last bite of food into his mouth with a bit of roll. "it would be like making an ice cup bigger by putting cold water in it. It could work but only if you have the exact right conditions, and technique."
Jonny and Jason shared another surprised look neither of them said it but they had both thought that Mike was something of a dumb man-child.
"Im not stupid." Mike sprayed a little mash potato out of his mouth his to bright eyes narrowed and Jonny could see the tips of his "fangs" in the mouthful of food that he was talking around. "you guys just don't know me to well yet."
With that Jonny and from the look on his face Jason was also done with his lunch.
"Well... I think its time to get back to reading." Jason said.
Jonny perked up "Yes we've got a quest to complete."
Mike gave a dirty look to his plate as Jonny and Jason stood up heading back to the room with the collage portal.
Jonny checked the time on his "phone" seeing it had been only an hour after they started eating.
"How meany points was that?" Jason asked as they got into the elevator.
"just two." Jonny said.
"seams worth the purchase." Jason said thoughtfully.
"Id say so, not just for getting those annoying pop ups to go away but all-so for all the other things it can do." Jonny said.
"oh?"
"yeah I can set up things like speakers or head phones, all so screens to play videos in front of me, and even search the web for free." Jonny said with a smile feeling like he was bragging.
Jason smiled a little "that is a good two points spent."
Jonny nodded as they got off the elevator. "and sense Drew gave me a big brick of a monster some crafty guy made it gets every one else's numbers around me as well."
"hmm cant wait for tomorrow so I can get one too." Jason said opening the door for them.
"That's right were going to be swimming in points tomorrow." Jonny said only just remembering "i don't even know what to spend them on."
"Iv got a few ideas" Jason said raising his fist turning it into metal. "Maybe turning into different metals, into something else or maybe being able to change shape more like an elemental."
"you been talking with Mike?" Jason asked jokingly
"Yes actually." Jason said "you should too, he mentioned your power and how you aren't using it to its full potential."
"i don't dout that." Jonny said softly "Iv only got a little idea of what it can do or what I means. I mean its one of those powers that sounds so simple that it has to have more to it."
Jason nodded and seamed like he was about to say something when Drew interrupted
"Good just in time, Jason try this out for me." He had a small stick of crystal to Jason. "break it."
Jason took and broke the crystal between fingers a sudden flash of purple light surged into his hand washing over him, after a moment he looked confused and pulled something out of his pocket.
"Holy crap." Jonny said seeing it. "How did you give him the Phone upgrade?"
Jason was busy reading the new txt on the phone. "Power applied gift of Phone upgrade accept." he clearly hit the accept before looking up to Drew "spent points into 'giving' this to people?"
"That's right." Drew said pulling out something from his jacket pocket that flipped open pushing a cigarette out he pulled it out with his teeth and the end was all ready glowing as if lit, but it was glowing green instead of orange. He took an experimental puff as if considering the flavor green smoke drifted up and after a moment Jonny thought he could smell that smell that comes after rain.
Drew saw the look on Jonny's face and smiled smugly taking a larger puff. "now that I can see your memories I can feel how much you hated my smoking every time ...times 3. So I made this little guy." Drew held up what looked like a small box made of crystal and metal just big enough to hold 2 cigarettes. "It uses mana to make what i'm going to call a healing cig, Its actually more like incense but it still counts for my points and will heal instead of slowly burning away peoples lungs."
Smiling at Jonny he took a large drag blowing it at him.
Jonny could feel the tingle of mana on his skin as it hit him that smell after rain hitting him hard but in a pleasant way. Smiling back and shaking his head Jonny said "you'v only been awake what half a day? what are you going to get done by tomorrow?"
"Funny you should say." Drew said wiggling his eye brows.
Jonny shook his head and glanced over to see if Jason was getting the joke, but Jason wasn't laughing he was silently looking back and forth between the 2 of them an odd look of confusion Jonny was having trouble placing.
"what is making that smell?" Mike asked coming in taking deep sniffs. "smells so familiar."
"Petrichor" Drew said looking much more professional.
"Per ictor?" Mike asked looking confused and struggling even to say it.
"The word for the smell after rain." Drew said a glint of smug in his eyes.
"oh... cooool." Mike said excitedly "Iv always wanted a word for that."
"yeah its cool shit." Drew said dismissively "Iv got some other good stuff coming up and ideas I want to bounce off you come with me for a bit I think iv come up with a cheat code."
"Ok...." Mike said a little confused. "for what?"
"A plan iv got cooking up for making this place easier to defend." Drew said clearly getting inpatient. "Save your questions for the end of the demonstration."
"....ok" He said adding annoyance to his confusion.
Jonny had to admit that it had been a good question but he didn't have time to say so before Mike was swept up in Drew's wake heading to his office.
"I'm going to go check on the animals." Jason said already edging to the portal for them. "You in?"
"No we where already told that it wouldn't do anything for the quest until they where done changing." Jonny said "and i'm exited to get that reading boost."
"Good point." Jason said. "I wont be long im curious to see if there are any noticeable changes."
"OK man let me know If there's anything interesting, I'm heading home to keep reading." Jonny said grabbing his bag and scooping up some of the pile of crystals that they had made with the duplicator box. "you should be able to txt me by using your phone and just thinking of me when you go to send."
"damn that's almost scary." Jason said shaking his head before heading into the Zoo.
'hes got a point' Jonny thought putting the bag over his shoulder heading home.
Jonny set the bag down on his computer desk, made himself comfortable, set a timer and started reading determined not to stop until he had completed his quest and got the reading speed boost.
He continued where he left off in the magic item making, the book mostly showing blue prints and describing basic everyday things like cooking pots, some sort of old cooking plate, and ovens.
After every page there was other types of mana that could be added in place to make a list of other things.
They where mostly obvious the same way you make an oven you can make an ice box, but some things took him by surprise.
Such as the Hot plate could be turned into a powerful sharpening tool, a hover pad, or a fan to cool off with.
'If it wasn't for the diagrams and detailed blue prints the book wouldn't be long at all.' Jonny thought to himself. Then he started to get into the textiles section with rugs, blankets, pillows, and raw cloth.
It didn't explain how to make clothing but the best way to add magic to it, it expected you to know how already and then after you where done making the thing adding the crystals and crystal threads into it at key points in order to make some things happen.
There was a list of 'enchantments' that it suggested every cloth item should have along with how to make them attach with out interfering with any new or existing enchantments.
It reminded Jonny of a spiders web but at the edges were the cores of the enchantments powering up the rest of the cloth. But with added layers so it was like a kaleidoscope of spider webs.
After taking his time day dreaming about flying carpets he finally noticed he had ben reading the same page over again and that it was getting hard to keep reading something that seamed more like an owners manual than a real book, Jonny thought he'd look up a real story or so to try and make it through the last hour and a half he had left.
Trouble was he wasn't much of a reader in the first place and didn't know where to start. Thinking about texting Mike for a suggestion but only idly Jonny was a little bit annoyed when the reply came with a long list of things to try to read.
A lot of the list was clearly in some other language but only half translated. It was also broken up into parts, the first being "free online" the next being books he could buy and the last being "tv shows and stuff too."
Then he was sent a few texts telling him to let him know what Jonny liked and thought of some of them when he got around to them and that the list was in no particular order.
A moment latter Drew sent him a text with a link to a webcomic called "the gamer."
'are Drew and Mike still talking? what the fuck is Drew doing that he needs to be near mike for so long?' Jonny wondered shaking his head and starting reading the cartoon thing.
After only a few moments he understood why he would be told to read this first, it seamed less for fun and more like life lessons. And that was just on the first page.
The story and the valuable info managed to keep him entertained enough to not fall asleep until the notification txt arrived that he completed the quest.
Gratefully going to sleep Jonny's mind finally started to buzz with ideas and goals of his own.
