Chapter 6 Crafting

  Due to some unknown reason, the transfer process had malfunctioned just when she was about to be transmigrated into the body of a girl in the royal family, causing the system to quickly find a solution, thus creating her body from scratch and throwing her into a completely random location.

  In other words, she had lost her 1000p. However, not completely.

  Since she was not able to use the remaining 1000p, the system created a small connection between her during that brief moment of her receiving memories to pull her mind into a different space.

  In that space, just like where she was before, she was given options on where she could spend her points but this time, the options were limited.

  Because her character creation had already been completed, the only options she was given were the options to either increase her stats or choose a skill from a domain to learn.

  Although she felt dejected and even cursed at the system in the separate pce, no matter what was said, the system did not reply to her.

  Is this because I’m not creating my character anymore that I don't have that audio feature? she thought to herself.

  With no feedback from the system, she sighed before taking a look at her options again. On the panel were prices for the skills, and although most of them varied, the highest being 1000p, the most common price for a single skill seemed to be around 500 to 550.

  Seeing this, Mindy checked her stats again before thinking over her options carefully. She did not pn on getting two skills, because what was the point of getting skills if they were not strong and useful?

  Originally, she hadn't pnned for such a situation, assuming that if she were part of the royal family, levelling up and getting knowledge would be as simple as waving her hand. Along with the fact that she would not have to worry about money. Unfortunately, fate seemed to not be in her favour, causing her to end up in such an undesirable situation.

  She reminisced in resignation as the image of her living a vish and simple life faded from her mind.

  Why was it like this? That in every fantasy book the main character could never just start off with an easy life. Instead they would have to work their way up from the bottom to reach the top.

  Mindy sighed, the dream of an easy royal life slipping away. So much for breaking the fantasy trope, she thought to herself, scratching her head with a bitter smile.

  Pushing the thoughts away from her mind, Mindy studied the panel for a while before coming up with an idea on what to choose.

  Strength: 15 (+5)Energy Max: 18 (+2)Constitution: 15 (+3)

  She first used 500p to increase her stats, and then she used the other 500p to buy the skill Earth Shaping (Geokinesis).

  The moment she confirmed, she suddenly felt herself disappear. When her consciousness came back, she found herself in the same forest still naked.

  Although the sun was out, her body still slightly shook due to the cold breeze. With nowhere to go, she slumped behind a tree, tucking herself into a thick cluster of bushes.

  With a thought, the system appeared in front of her, and just as she thought, there was no audio. It seemed like her hunch was right, it was only a customization thing.

  Dismissing the system, she pulled a handful of leaves off the bush she was in and then stared at them intensely.

  A few seconds passed before the leaves soon began merging together. Keeping her focus on the leaves, she reached out with her other arm to grab more, before pcing them onto her hand as the process continued.

  A few hours soon passed by as she continued with the leaves, when Mindy was done she looked at her arm now covered in leaves before sighing.

  This entire process took her a while to do. Although the knowledge on how to activate her power and use it was directly transferred into her brain, doing it herself felt quite alien to her. At first, she thought she was getting the hang of it, but when she started seeing the leaves on her arm fall off due to her ck of focus, her brows began to furrow.

  Unperturbed by the failure, Mindy sat there in silence as she continued practicing over and over again, becoming familiar with the energy in her body.

  Mindy had no interest in exploring this new world at the moment. Instead, all she wanted to do was familiarize herself with the powers she had. She had no idea where she was, and the only thing she had to defend herself was the limited information she had been provided with by the system on how to control and use her powers. The rest, she would have to find out on her own.

  After resting for a few more minutes, Mindy She stood up with a quiet yawn, stretching off the stiffness on her body.

  “Ugh…” she groaned, stretching her arms. “That’s the 14th bush today,” she mumbled to herself as she looked back at where she had been sitting.

  On the floor of where she had crudely made swords, ropes, and nun chucks out of leaves, littered the ground along with crudely shaped origami that resembled a throwing star.

  Stretching her hand out, she stood there for a moment, when suddenly, a green spear suddenly flew to her hand. Without even turning her head to meet the spear, she fwlessly caught it, swivelling it around before then swinging it down with her left arm, finishing off by striking a pose.

  With her eyes closed, Mindy softly smiled, maintaining her performance for a moment before then breaking.

  “Fuck!” she yelled. “That was so cool!” she said as she broke character.

  Unable to contain herself any longer, she started jumping around with the spear in hand as she began celebrating. If a passer-by were to look at her now, they would be slightly startled by how she was acting. They might just think she was a crazy person and run off. After all, the sight of a naked crazy woman jumping around and screaming with something hanging between her legs wasn't something one sees every day.

  Mindy, on the other hand, didn’t care. As she continued to celebrate, others might not know but this ordinary yet simple action took her hours to perform. From the speed of the spear to the direction and even the pose, all were something she had been practicing for some time.

  Even on her arms and fingers, faint scratch marks along with small cuts could be seen, each with their own shapes and sizes.

  During the time Mindy had been using to familiarize herself with this new strange power, she had learned how to do a few things:

  One, Being able to shape the leaves around her into things she could imagine. With Examples of this being the crudely made swords and nun chucks. Her best creations being the spears she made out of stone and leaves due to their simple design.

  Two were Some small little creations and origami she remembered how to do from her past life and third.

  Clothes.

  Although Mindy was not one to particurly care too much if someone saw her naked, the cold breeze that brushed up against her skin from time to time was a stern reminder of how much she needed something to wear.

  So for the first few hours, she spent her time doing just that. She failed from time to time, but with those failures came improvement on how she controlled her powers. Like how, at the start, she would waste a ton of energy when controlling a single leaf which she would have to keep her focus on, unlike now where she could control 10 of them simultaneously without much concentration. Anything above 13 would require more of her focus, lest she lose control of one.

  She sometimes ran out of energy from time to time, and during those moments, she would move from the pce she had st been, whilst exploring the forest she was in. She kept her guard up at all times in case a monster were to show up, but to her surprise, her journey was pretty peaceful.

  She walked around the bushes for a bit, looking for something to eat, however she was out of luck, not even able to find a single berry. When her energy had refilled, she sat back down and continued this same process of familiarizing herself with her powers until dawn came.
