Rest and Aroma

After strenuously pulling myself into a bed who knows where, I laid down on the cushioned mass and simply laid down.

Welcome back, me.

Haha... ha... hm.

I can't get myself to sleep... its pulling away at me, but I'm just so... I want to DO something. I want to craft, shoot magic, fight and kill! I want to return the status quo... but, its uh... an issue. My body hasn't been in use for quite a bit, and just getting to it now really sucks.

So, to pass time instead of just laying here... I started trying to formulate magic.

The familiar circles of mana formed around my hand like a shackle, the mana inside whirling out to finally be put to use! With the familiar clicking of the circle snapping into place, I begin to recite my research.

Accordingly, a user from a game called

" Fable Tales " learned that his magic style translated to StarDuster. Supposedly, magic circles gain in strength as they do in size... but those can't be done too fast, as it might detonate.

So, I strained my focus to expand the glowing circle in front of me... it was hard, and it felt unnatural at first... but, its not like anything is preventing me from doing this. So, I continued on.

Eventually it reached a point where it didn't grow any further, specifically at the same time it grew to fit the borders of the room! Crazy huh? Not really.... that's probably to be expected, anywho... I've concocted alchemical magic, specifically the ' Generate Material ' spell. I'll call this technique " Super Charging " for now, anywho let's test it out!

* Pop *

With an ever familiar pop, a small pile of various herbs and medicines appeared on the floor before the small bed I layer in. I inspected it as such.

| Blood Root x26 |

| Healing Herb x4 |

Ah, interesting!

Matter from nothing... that is typical of mana, I guess I'll have to see the effects!

Inspect!

| Your Herb Knowledge is too low. |

Rats!

AHH!!!

THAT FAMILIAR FEELING! Ahaha! I truly have returned!

Hehe!

Alright well, enough of that... I'm going to eat these. I got a feeling that Healing Herb would probably heal me, the Blood Root though is a mystery.

Down the hatch it goes...

...

OK, so uh. I don't feel anything special, my mana is a little.. itchy? I guess, it feels like it really wants to be used. So, maybe I could inspect it again?

| Blood Root |

| Effect - Increases Mana Output |

| Alchemical uses :

Increases the effect of Mana Potions

May increase the effects of Mana Liquid, Ink, or other variations. |

Intrigued, I begin formulating ideas and plans to use this Blood Root stuff with... it took a lot of mana out of me to procure it, but long term it will absolutely be important towards that aspect of my crafts.

So, with that done I begin practising other various things I've learned... different games, different people, some of these ideas are years old... so might be behind the current magical curve, but I can probably catch up with enough techniques.

The next one, was actually made by a old friend I had at Origin... Onyx, he was a great Warlock, but... I don't know what to think about that right now.

The idea is that ' Recall ' can save actions of any kind, which I am familiar with. So, they save spells into whatever it is saved in... and then they pump it full of mana. I haven't a clue as to the logistics of this, as Onyx doesn't even seem to have a clue in this... he supposedly hasn't even tried it yet, and is too scared to accidentally detonate a huge spell and whatever would come because of it.

That's a downside of Warlock, their spells are ridiculously powerful... but they can only do so many a day and they can't use other forms of magic besides their contracted one.

While Battle alchemist may not be the strongest caster, they are flexible and can easily out maneuver... sustain... and other buzzwords that make my class better. I actually don't know about any of these, its likely this is the case though.

So, time to experiment... thanks Onyx.

Using the same spell as earlier, it seems the effects this time are a little better... more healing roots, and just a tad bit more blood roots... and for less cost and time, but that leaves me to wonder if I could combine them...

But... that will have to wait until later, for now... its time to make and enjoy a meal with some friends.

The table was set, and I was finished cooking... it was a large meal, I needed help from Dice to make it work... as well as the materials for cooking.

The main dish is Steak, Mashed Potatoes and Stuffing accompanied... but it isn't ordinary Steak, and that's not all... it also is pair with a Stew, Freshly baked bread, Couscous, all wrapped up with a luxurious red wine...

Cooking is like crafting in a way... or is it the other way around? Either way, I went all out... it helped me get rid of the pent up feelings of not being able to create anything... or do anything for that matter.

The steak is actually of Dragon Sirloin, Something which I haven't really tasted... anywho, it smells wonderful... and now we wait for our guests to arrive.

Speaking of guests, the first to Arrive is Arch.

He came in by slamming the door open yelling my name with his hands in the air.

- " Its good to see you again, Arch. How has it been? "

" Oh Cobalt, its been hell... but I'm sure you were dealing with something far worse huh? "

- " Oh yeah, I guess i'll tell everyone all about it when everyone is here... for now feel free to take a seat and help yourself to the rolls, you and your crew made up right? "

" Oh yeah, you weren't here for that! Well uh, we got in an argument over a few things... and we all acted pretty dramatically. But, we made up after talking it through... especially with your disappearance, we searched for those pieces to revive you since we got messaged by Tungston about it "

- " Oh right, the system told me a bit about that... but from my end it didn't seem to matter? I think I revived myself? "

"Ah, it must of just lined up perfectly somehow... the soldiers actually got the last piece and plugged it in, so you reviving yourself might be... either timed specifically do happen at the same time or maybe a coincidence. "

- " I see. Well, that's neat. "

" Yeah, I guess. Only a little while until the others show up right? "

- " Yep, should be here any minute. "

" That's good, I'm starving... this is the best looking food I've seen since you left. "

- " Glad you find it good, we'll only have a little longer to wait. "
