Chapter 7 Shit happens
When I woke up it was midnight, I looked around and saw that I was lying in the living room. How I did get here I didn′t knew what I remembered was that I was watching Sophie train in the garden. The reason that I woke up was that nature called, so I went to the back door to go out and do what needed to be done, but the door was closed. I didn′t thought much about it and went to the front door, but this one was closed too.
''what should I do now, in the store it wasn''t a problem there was always someone around, but here they all slept at night. I need to hold it in until they wake up.''
I waited quite some time more or less, but it was hard to hold it, ''I need to do something to distract me. Stat menu.''

I was surprised to see that my will and one of the stat that I couldn''t rise since my birth increased by one. That my mana was down to 24 was something I didn''t expect either. ''Could I have depleted all my mana when I couldn''t move that energy around that would mean that energy I was using was indeed mana. So was the reason that I couldn''t understand them anymore be connected to it to. How could I understand them in the first place, maybe I have a skill to help me with that. Skill menu''

''when did I get Astral magic and what is it?'' I looked at astral magic.

this skill enables you to use spells with the astral element</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''5''>Spells</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''5''>+ Astral vision</td></tr></tbody></table>
''oh, I can use magic know, but how do I use this spell?'' I decided to try using it with the name of the spell and it indeed worked, I could look around all I wanted while I was still standing still, I could look at myself from all directions and even could move my point of vision through a wall and look at things behind it. That was when I was suddenly pulled back into my body. ''What happened, why am I back again?'' I looked once more at my stats and saw that my mana was completely depleted. When I tried to feel the energy I used before to confirm it was mana it was really gone. As that was now clear to me my mind shifted back to the problem from before, toilette. I started to look at all my skill′s to distract me and found something interesting my dog eye technique gained a new sub skill called astral eye it let me see all astral magic if activated, but holds for four hole hours or til I sleep. Then, I suddenly realized that there wasn''t a skill that lets me understand humans. I double-checked it and there really wassn''t one, ''so if it isn′t a skill then what else could it be? Are there menus I didn′t saw til now? Wait when I came to this world there was something about traits and basics. Trait menu''

There it was the last one I looked at, my way to understand the human, but it needed mana. Before I could do anything else, my body remembered me of what I needed to do this past half hour and this time it didn''t let me put on hold any longer.
As I looked around I saw a piece of paper on the ground right next to the living room table. I went there and did what nature wanted me to do. After I finished, I looked some more at the traits and then tried out if there was a basic menu, but there wasn''t.
At the next morning I was woken up by an angry Monica she dragged me over to the paper I shitted on and said something I didn''t want to understand, but even so I was really scared of her. She put the paper with the shit away.
The next one will come on monday, so i wish everyone a merry christmas, this time you can suggest a humanoid race for Sophie to evolve into :). I will try to release a chapter every Monday and additions if I have time.
And like always Thanks for reading.
