Seth stood on the roof of his current base and looked down on the water surface that had almost each his floor. It had rained for a long time and now the morning sun′s rays were sparkling on the waves of the big lake that had swallowed the city. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍．𝒏𝒆𝒕

The weather had calmed down a lot. After raining for so long, the murky water had turned clear and looked almost clean. Seth could almost see the streets below on the bottom of the lake. The streets he had walked just a few weeks ago had turned into an underwater world. It was quite fascinating in a sense.

And it was quite troubling in every other sense. At this time Seth's rations started dwindling and he finally ran out of raw materials to grind his skill. Of course, he had long prepared for this time when he had to leave.

The food he had left where mostly preserved stuff and could easily fit into a few of his item slots. After the water supply unexpectedly stopped working, he had stocked up on it using the rain. It was also called clean water and stacked with the regular tap water, so he did not worry. Now 6 of his 16 item slots were filled with food and water and the rest held stacks of finished weapons, he planned to sell, miscellaneous stuff and his gear.

Seth also had another reason to leave now. It was when he got ready to make himself a bow for long range attacks, when he finally realized, that he actually lacked something important.

After mastering the blueprint to make a steel bow he remembered the vine he had picked up all this time ago. It was an uncommon material he could not identify at the time and subsequently forgot about. Seth remembered it, because bows are usually made of wood, right?

So, he had dug it up from the pile he had deposited the very first day he arrived in the suite.
