Chapter 2 [One Piece A Day, The Seed of Magic]

“Well then, let’s create a new item. —-<<Creation>>.”

My level has risen up to 5, and my mana is around 100.

Almost every day, I use up all my current mana to create something akin to a juicy Asian pear.

“U-Ugee…”

Somehow or another, I’ve been able to adjust to this plain’s survival lifestyle these past few days mostly because of [Creation Magic].

The need to create a tent, water, food, blanket, and a tool that wards off monsters, all of those can be settled within 100 mana.

Despite it being an effective tool that works on slimes and other small-fry monsters, it’s mainly just a disposable consumable item.

I really want something of good quality.

Putting that aside, the thing that takes up more mana than creating any survival good, consumes and dries up my mana, and causes me to lie down in the tent is—-[Seed of Magic].

An item that increases the status that appears in a certain RPG. 1

“For the time being…… if I eat this, I wonder if my stats will rise.”

When I took a bite out of it, I could feel juiciness similar to an Asian pear.

In the game, depending on which one in the series, the amount gained was random or a fixed amount.

I felt the rise of my maximum mana.

“Uuu, I guess there’s no mana recovery effect…… but when times are tough, the refreshing feeling of the Asian pear-like thing feels good.”

While saying that, I waited for my mana to replenish inside the tent.

I don’t know how fast a normal person’s mana recovery speed is, but when I sleep, I feel much less discomfort.

However, no matter how fast my mana recovers, a large amount of mana is required to use [Creation Magic].

In order to raise my mana pool, it’s necessary to defeat monsters and raise my level or absorbing a status up item like this one.

But just a brief comment.

“I think I’m getting tired of this feeling, so let’s keep this to one piece a day……” I grumbled.

Then, after recovering my mana to a certain extent, I created a certain item..

“—-<<Creation>>. Mana potion…… With this, I’ll be able to recover around 10 mana I guess.”

Creating a low-quality mana potion that recovers 10 mana with a consumption of 50 mana is bad in terms of efficiency. However, every time I create the Seed of Magic, my mana dries up and the suffering is unpleasant, so I prepare this sort of item.

On a previous note—-

“If a normal human eats a Seed of Magic once a day, 365 days a year for 60 years, they would have at least 21900 mana.”

After a few days, the results after confirming the effects of the Seed of Magic—-

The Seed of Magic is only effective for one piece a day.

The amount of maximum mana increased is random, but it definitely increases.

Therefore, ‘slow but steady wins the race’, is what I should be saying. If I continue eating it, my status will continue rising.

But—-

“Honestly, I’m reluctant on fixating myself on eating the same thing my entire life in order to obtain the strongest magical powers. Also, the goddess’s vague request. It’s fine to just live a long life. What exactly should I do?” I muttered.

After recovering to my peak physical condition from my mana exhausted condition, I set out in search for slightly stronger monsters.

I created paper, a compass and a writing instrument.

Using those things, I created a map of the vicinity while continuing my survival lifestyle.

The item is called the 不思議な木の実 (lit. The Mysterious Tree Seed/Nut), but I decided to use the Dragon Quest localization name. Yes, it’s a Dragon Quest reference.
