Warmth comes, and then it leaves, and then it comes again.

  I’m making a random guess, but isn’t that like, the cycle of sunlight?

  Hmm. Let’s go with that.

  So, this is day, ~3ish? Not counting from my recent nap, which could have been several days for all I know in this lightless place.

  Since the ‘Status’ told me I had a single ability, “Inherent Mana Manipultion” perhaps I should try it out?

  No, no, no wait. It could be a trap.

  Just think, what if I try something like manipulating fire?

  Fire? A seed?

  Am I the only one that thinks that might go horribly wrong?

  Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  Exactly.

  Therefore I’m going to try something perfectly logical. Something any tree would desire.

  Water!

  Hah, I’m suuuuuuuuch a genius.

  Neh, neh, tell me I’m a genius right?

  Tsk. There’s no one else to talk to in this place though….

  Anyways, here goes, Experiment#3!

  Oh? What happened to #1 and #2?

  We don’t talk about that ever, m’kay?

  Indeed, it’s a sacred memory that is not important at this point in time.

  At. All.

  On with the Experiment#4.

  What? I seem to have skipped ahead?

  No, no. See?

  The new lake that’s just above me?

  That was #3.

  I accidentally concentrated on two things at once while talking to myself.

  So, anyways. #4, this time instead of making a small puddle, let’s see if….

  I…

  Can...

  Oops.

  I seem to have frozen the water around me in a sphere.

  Status…please…

  This…could be worse.

  Snap.

  Crack.

  Tsk…

  Fire it is then!

  What could possibly go wrong now...
