I woke up.

    On the floor.

    This shit happens way too much. Did some god somewhere curse me with fighting until I lose consciousness?

    I got up, every part of my body filled with exhaustion. The magic contract I made took a lot out of me. I also used that technique which messed up my body to knock some dude out.

    I also punched solid metal and brick, multiple times.

    I also did sleep on the floor. Which was harder to sleep on than concrete or stone for some reason.

    My hands felt shattered.

    Getting up had become a much harder task, but eventually, I did.

    I walked out the door, I decided to take a break today.

    Then I chose to make a kite.

    But what could I use to make a kite? Well, it was time to find out.

    I could try making a paper kite, but that seemed pretty time intensive, as I had nowhere to get paper, until I realized I don''t care. I''d just make it.

    I had learned how to make paper as a child from this old man.

    Something about trees.

    So first, I needed an axe. Actually, no I didn''t.

    I remember now, I once hunted this giant a.s.s boar. Like it was a decent size, a bit bigger than me. When I hunted it, it destroyed a bunch of trees. Now... where did I put it.

    Oh right, I put them back together. While cleaning up. How did I do it? Doesn''t matter.

    Well, luckily I knew magic. Or this''d be a pain in the a.s.s to get the wood.

    I wrote a long drawn out spell on the tree, to maximize efficiency.

    Then I activated the spell, while focusing all my mana into cutting the tree.

    Draining both my stamina and mana, the tree fell.

    I was a bit tired.

    By bit tired, I mean unbearably tired.

    So I took an hour long nap.

    Then woke up once more.

    I went for another which was a way larger tree. Decided not to use magic.

    Now, this tree was about get absolutely decimated by me.

    I swung with my not so mighty strength and it made a small dent. So just kept swinging.

    Eventually it fell.

    That was nice.

    Then I started cutting the bark and leaves off of the other smaller tree. Which took me a while.

    I then got the larger tree and cut it in half.

    I then used my mana to smooth one half out.

    Until it got surprisingly smooth.

    Then I took the other half and smoothed it out as well.

    Which took forever.

    My hands were in immense pain.

    But the kite was more important.

    I placed the pieces on the flat sides of the cut tree''s, I was going to use as huge tables.

    Then I spent an hour making the axe sharp using magic. Which s.u.c.k.e.d, as it took me so many failed tries.

    Eventually, it looked like a huge decent axe.

    Which I was gonna use to mince up the tree pieces into smaller pieces.

    I started thinking things upon the line of, ''Huh, I wonder if there''s an actual world tree. I wonder what paper made of a world tree would be like."

    Like, it''d be pretty funny, someone''s journey through countless trials just to get world tree paper.

    Huh, a world tree would have pretty good quality wood... like the best furniture. And the best door. And the best floor. And the best fire. Huh, I should ask Mono if there''s a super magical tree later.

    After quite a while, it was all shredded wood. Each about the size of a pebble.

    Which I was now gonna boil, but where would I find a giant a.s.s metal pot. F.u.c.k.

    This was gonna take a while.
