Outside

After landing he swimm up to the top of the water and float on his back for a little bit. The lake wasn't big, just about 200 meters in diameter. It was almost circular. The surrounding of it was a plain from one side and the swamp from the other side.

'Peace and quiet finally. But I have to get out of here and find a somewhat safe settlement.'

He swam to the side where the plain was. It was giant. He only saw grass and trees in the distance.

'Where am I?'

He looked around and saw a river going into the lake.

'I should follow that backwards. Also she showed me a map. Can I somehow bring it out with this system? Map?'

Manna exhaustion

After beeing exposed to high manna lose for an extendid time, manna regeneration is permanently decreased by 5%.

'Great... How can I do anything about this? It is permanent, so I need to raise the manna regeneration. But there is nothing I can do with that now.'

His stomach crumbled.

'I need to eat something. As I remember I had some food in my backpack.'

He sit down to eat and watched his surrounding. Then out of nothing he felt that something touched his left leg. He got startled and jumped up. It was the black cat he saw in the shack.

"It's you again little bud!"

The cat snuggled to her leg and purred. He sit back down.

"Oh! You are so cute!"

He petted it while eating and it jumped into his lap and lied down.

After eating he stood up with the cat in hands and looked at it's face. It looked like the cat understood what he said.

"Do you want to come with me?"

The cat purred even louder and rubbed it's head to Joseph's hand. He had a big smile on his face.

"Seems like it! Let's go!"

He started to walk forward on the plain.
