*The next morning*


    Mina: Are you done packing, Shi?


    Shi: I''m done, mom. I''m ready to go!


    Mina: Ok. Do you still remember the infinite storage spell that I taught you?


    Shi: Yeah.


    Mina:


    *nonchalanty takes a map out from nowhere*


    So here''s a map of the world. Every single important location such as dungeons, or places with powerful enemies are marked on the map and will change in real-time if they ever move.


    Shi: Mom... isn''t this extremely valuable?


    Mina: Oh it is. I killed "The Wise Man" for it. Don''t let the name fool you, It wasn''t a man but instead a 20 story tall lizard with a hat that said "WISE". It was really weird.


    But Shi, I entrust these items to you because you are my son. I have raised you, and trained you to become strong.


    Shi: But.. why me? Surely there were other children that you saved in the forest that were better than me in some way.


    Mina: There were none. You were the only child I found alive in that forest.


    Shi: (Wow that''s dark.)


    On the day that I found you, I saw that you had potential. The potential to one day become as powerful or even more powerful than me.


    I have outlived my life and my legacy is over. I have become a living legend.


    *smirks boastfully while trying to contain laughter*


    *calms down*


    So work hard, son. Don''t worry, I don''t expect you to follow in my footsteps. So just live your life to fullest and have fun, ok?


    Shi: *sobs* Yes ma''am! *salutes*


    Mina: We''re not in the army you know. Hahaha


    Here are some coins to start you off.


    Shi: Thanks mom. Well, off I go!


    You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.


    *Uses magic to enhance physical abilities*


    *starts running at a ridiculous speed toward the nearest town*


    *runs through the Shi no Mori, a jungle, and some plains*


    (This town is farther than I thought.)


    *Mina suddenly teleports in front of Shi*


    Mina: Hey son! *waves*


    *Shi stops immediately*


    Shi: Mom? What are you doing here?


    (I didn''t know she could teleport! Wtf. She didn''t teach me!)


    Mina: I forgot to teach you about how currencies work so here I am!


    Shi: I thought you couldn''t leave the forest alone?


    Mina: Oh I can. I left some clones of me to take care of things.


    Shi: Then why can''t you go with me?


    Mina: Because i''m busy.


    Shi: Busy!? Doing what!? If your clones can do everything then what could you be busy with?


    Mina: Sleeping.


    Shi: *sighs* Well? Teach me.


    Mina: Ok. So first of all, the Platinum is the most valuable currency, then Gold, Silver, Copper. 1 Plat is 100 gold, 1 gold is 100 silver, 1 silver is 100 copper. An inn costs around 50 Copper coins - 1 Silver coin a night depending on how good the inn is. Food for an entire day is about the same. Don''t waste your coins on things you don''t need even if you have a lot. And don''t just nonchalantly pull out a platinum coin when you want to buy a piece of bread, ok? Start with something expensive, like a weapon of some sort, so you can get some gold as change.


    Shi: I got it. So I shouldn''t run around and just show my coins to anyone cause that will cause thieves and bandits to attack me, right?


    Mina: That''s a great idea! Lure them with the money and annihilate them!


    *sadistic laugh*


    *coughs* ahem.


    Well i''m going now. Byeee


    *teleports*


    Shi: Mom sure is out of control. Haha


    (I want to teleport too ;-; But I guess mom wanted me to experience traveling the world on my own two feet.)


    Well, It''s time to resume the journey!
