Chapter 6: Chapter 6: The daily life of a reality bender

After finally understanding his abilities, how to become stronger, and his future path

Lorien could finally relax a bit as everything is pretty straightforward from now on

His eyes narrowed slightly as he took a deep breath of fresh air with his hands extended to both sides as if embracing the world

'Ahhh...I Can finally enjoy myself now.'

Looking at the forest around him while selectively ignoring the crater behind him the gears in his mind started spinning again

"Complete freedom ehh...Let's first find some information about this world, it shouldn't be a high-level one as the energy in the air is nearly none existent which will cause the growth of strong beings to be nearly impossible...but who knows everything has exceptions..."

After making up his mind he decided to choose one direction to walk towards and get out of this forest as fast as possible before the barrier around him fades as he doesn't know how long it will last, and he honestly doesn't want it disappearing in the middle of god knows where

Holding up a twig he picked from the ground in his hand, Lorien weighed it for a second before throwing it in the air while also causing it to spin sideways

"Let's use the scientific method to get out of here..."

It took a moment for the twig to fall which caused the leaves scattered underneath to rustle a bit

Looking at the direction it pointed towards for a moment Lorien then decided to go in the opposite direction

...

A Couple of hours later

"Finally made it out of that shity place!"

Looking back at the forest being him and then at the darkening sky, Lorien heaved a sigh of relief

"Thankfully I made it before dark"

Even though the barrier is still there for now Lorien had no interest in staying the night in the forest, he watched enough horror movies to know that it was a bad idea

This is not to say he doesn't trust the barrier's strength, this is just a psychological thing

Observing his surroundings Lorien's eyes finally fell on a path, he doesn't know where it leads but the existence of a path means that people pass by here

'I'll just follow it I guess'

But after a while, Lorien felt a bit bored, in the forest his nerves were very tight but now that he found signs of civilization he felt a bit more relaxed

And so he started experimenting again with his ability as he really couldn't put it down, similar to a kid that got a brand new toy

Scooping up a bit of dirt from the ground he then used his ability

[Reality]: Dirt into gold

The dirt in his hand instantly changed into a blob of gold, but from Lorien's perspective he could see that it will change back soon enough, approximately in 4 hours

Looking at the gold in his hand, he felt a bit of melancholy for some reason

'Sigh...If I wanted to make this much gold before I would need to work for years, and now I can simply wish it into being...Well it's just the past I have a new life now'

A small smile appeared on his face but it quickly disappeared as his eyes focused on the golden blob in his hand

'But how can I make it last longer...'

And like that, an hour passed quite fast but Lorien still couldn't see any signs of humans

'It'll be dark very soon'

So, he decided to stop here for the night as he felt tired

It's not physical fatigue as after the awakening his physical strength is very absurd, it's a mental one as when looking back at what he experienced today he still couldn't fully believe all that happened

After all, when he woke up today he had a very simple plan and that is: go for the interview, eat something outside and then call it a day

And nowhere in that schedule did meeting some sort of mighty existence, going to an otherworld, and gaining power he couldn't even wish for before get planed

Looking around for a bit he then walked to the side of the road, he then lowered his body and put his hands on the dirt

Closing his eyes he imagined a small house in his mind, including the rooms, bathroom, dining room, and most importantly the bed

[Reality]: House creation

And then reality glitched as a small brick house appeared out of nowhere around 75²m in size, it even had a doormat, Lorien's current energy reserves could barely make it

And this is because it's just warping reality not turning a dream into reality, or else he'd need a LOT more energy than he has now

Thankfully his energy restores very fast on its own, this is also the reason he was able to experiment for so long and not run out of energy

Honestly, Lorien doesn't understand where his body is restoring the energy from

He is sure that he isn't absorbing anything from the world, or anywhere for that matter, it's simply appearing out of nowhere

After thinking about it for a moment he quickly gave up as it's actually a good thing for Lorien as he doesn't have to worry about restoring his energy no matter what environment he is in

And with his mind changing targets, Lorien looked at the house in front of him

He could see that it would last for about 16 hours or so, this is the result of his experiments in the last hour, it turns out that if he puts more energy into it he can extend how long this 'Reality' will last

Entering and closing the door behind he went directly to the bathroom as he really needed a shower to relax right now

Just as he entered the bathroom he inadvertently looked into the mirror, this look caused him to snap all of his attention into it

"This is me??!"

What he saw in the mirror was a look he was completely unfamiliar with,a younger face around 19 years old, Short Silver Hair, Golden eyes, his face, build and stature were a bit different from before, to be more precise they were perfected

The only thing that didn't look that good were the clothes he is wearing, they looked dirty and broken in some places, this is to be expected after such a long journey through the woods as they were not designed for such a task

'It's probably because of the awakening, it's not like I am complaining this is a free cosmetic surgery'

After admiring his looks in the mirror for a while Lorien started undressing and started showering without further of do, as for where is the water coming from?

[Dream/Reality]: Create Water

Half an hour later Lorien stood up from the bathtub and stretched lazily, as he walked out the water on his body started twisting and disappearing on their own

[Dream/Reality]: Reality into Dreams

After admiring himself in the mirror for a bit more Lorien Conjured some clothes and then went to grab something to eat

Sitting at the table and looking at the steaming cooked chicken in front of him he started eating as he marveled

'Tsk Tsk Tsk, This ability is truly an artifact for lazy people, I don't have to do anything myself, even the food tastes great!!'

After finishing the food Lorien went to sleep in his 'new' and cozy bed

'I Hope I can find people tomorrow...'
