Transfer

Placing all his new gains in the storage panel and laundering his clothes Daniel excitedly started a small fire in his shack and sat down carefully on his new chair, it was hard wood and ornate, made perfect with the addition of one of his rat pelts.

"Alright System, same question as always, how long would it take to build up enough Transfer energy to get back here from earth, no outside factors and HP and MP full"

[2.07 days from current energy, 3.05 days from empty]

"So quick! Yes! I can't wait for a shower and some actual real clothes!"

It was about 5pm and he wanted nothing more than to get home and do some social damage control but thinking about coming back here in the future he thought he should make some preparations.

Organising his cooking stuff and cleaning his pelts through the storage system he made sure everything was organised and liveable no matter what the weather was like when he got back, next he scanned the shop and tried to decide what to spend his current coin on, he'd come back with 1 silver and 42 copper after today's outing but in the end he couldn't think of anything he needed, one of the benefits of going back after all was refilling his bank balance to be able to make this place liveable.

The last thing he did was plant the 3 berry bush cuttings and water them thoroughly, he didn't know if they would die left in the storage the whole time and just wanted to feel like he was building towards the future while he was away.

Dusting himself off and stripping his ragged clothes off to leave in the storage panel he took a deep breath and concentrated on transferring.

As Daniel instantly disappeared from Eden his phone appeared in thin air and dropped to the ground.

The next instant he was in his own room again facing his open wardrobe. Looking at the dishevelled bedding and the broken glass he could hardly believe it had been so easy.

"I thought it was going to burn like the way over, did any time pass?"

He tried to retrieve his phone from his storage space and realised how stupid he'd been.

"How will I know if anyone called? I guess I'm just lucky it was only three days."

Holding his palm out he made the tiniest flame possible to check it still worked and smiled to himself.

"In three days I learnt magic and met God, how am I supposed to not tell people about this?"

He wasn't sure what to do and everything he thought up felt either too mundane or too extreme. Finally he settled on cooking something that wasn't pure meat.

"Actually, I need a shower, I was kind of hoping the transfer would be like the colony storage but I guess I should just be thankful I end up back in my room."

Finally getting clean and dressed in his own clothes he felt like a real person again, a veg stir fry later he was back in his room hunting down the shards of glass and changing his bedding.

"First I'm going to shave and have another shower just because I can, then I'm going to sleep in a real bed until I'm starving."

He was trying to focus purely on indulgence and avoid facing the responsibility of this whole situation.

"I need a day off, I can't just go straight to saving the world, I've been sleeping on rat skin for god's sake."

Trying to persuade himself as he lathered shave cream on his face he heard his home phone going, he hadn't even thought to check his messages but thought if someone had resorted to using his home number they were probably pretty desperate.

Cleaning up and grabbing the phone he heard Melissa's exasperated voice on the other end

"Finally, where have you been? You haven't responded to my anything in days!"

"Hey, yeah, it's been busy here and my mobile broke, what's going on, how's Iceland?"

"Almost done with, I'm calling from the airport, I wanted to check if you were still picking me up? I was getting worried when you didn't confirm. Can you still make it?"

"Of course! I wouldn't just not tell you, listen, when you land you want to come back to my place to catch up,? There's some things I want to talk to you about"

"It'll be pretty late, you sure? Aren't you on site this week?"

"No, I've nothing booked, I think I'll take a bit of time out. Speaking of, have you got any holiday spare? You know what, we'll talk on the journey, see you tomorrow"

"Holiday? Oh, right, yeah, I'll see you tomorrow night, should get in about midnight"

"Right, good flight"

Hanging up the phone Daniels mind was racing, he would explain the situation to Melissa and Tom and get their opinions on how best to progress, they'd need a strong colony to be able to help all the people that are transferred over during the convergence but they'd also need to gather enough energy for God to do his thing, it was going to be a difficult balance. Either way they needed to be ready.

All thoughts of a soft bed and modern conveniences leaving his mind Daniel headed to his computer and looked through his email and logged in to whatsapp.

"I'll get a new phone tomorrow and let people know about my number, right now I have got to arrange a meet up with Tom, he's going to love this"

Making the responses he needed to make and ordering a phone to pick up in the morning he could finally contact Tom.

"I'll just message and arrange to meet up, it's not like I can zip him over yet anyway, I need to spend a few days charging the batteries. Hey System, how long until I've saved up enough energy to transfer another person?"

[30 days]

"And another 3 days for me. Ok I'm probably going to have to take a few more trips and level up some before I can take anyone over, if I need to wait 30 days before sending someone I could get at most a colony of 35 people with no resources and me too weak to leave the beachhead, not what God had in mind I think, I need to level myself before the colony"

He knew he still needed to tell at least Melissa and Tom ASAP though, they would need to prepare themselves.
