Flammable Liquid!

Elias thrashed for a long time before the pain subsided and he opened his eyes but he felt obstructed as if something had smeared on them and he couldn't see. 

He sighed as he switched to Island Omni-view. He sensed the Island in a dull bird's eye with no colour. 

He crawled to the Wood he was cutting and zoomed the Omni-view on it and noticed an odourless liquid coming out of the cut!

He had used this Wood to burn fire but he had never seen the liquid. To understand it better, he set a fire and threw another similar Wood inside. It caught fire and burned normally without any sign of the liquid.

Then he took another similar Wood, moved his face away from the Wood and cut it slowly—and the liquid sprayed out. He turned the spray to the burning fire and the liquid ignited it further and burnt furiously. Some part of the spray touched the Wood that was on fire, it seeped inside and when the fire reached it—it burned longer and left good Charcoal.

He sighed, taking note that he should study it further and then poured the liquid into one of the jars he made and covered it. 

He attended his Foundry and after everything was fine, he came back to the Liquid!

He opened the small circular lid with a touch of a thin log expecting a burst of fire just like cooking gas—but a candle fire appeared above the jar opening. 

The flame just floats there.

He waited minutes, it was still there. He turned off his Island Force field but then his view was off. He chuckled, and brought it back but allowed a breeze to pass through the Force field which made the flame flutter.

He touched the jar, it was cool. Closing the jar, extinguished the fire, and he then poured the liquid on the Sand and cast fire.

The liquid seeped into the Sand and the Sand caught fire. He poured the liquid on a flat rock and it seeped inside. When he set fire, the place that got stained by the liquid caught fire.

Elias made so many experiments that took the most time of the day.

"This trial is bad luck for me… is this how I'm going to discover things?!" Elias grumbled... but with a smile.

Humans are strange, give them hardship, and they complain that it's tough surviving. And they will even try to hold someone accountable for their mistakes. 

Nevertheless, give them a mundane life where they are safe and make use of their intelligence, they will still complain… It's too boring.

Lying on his back Elias open his eyes wide to see a star or a moon but it was still dark, he couldn't see anything above, only encompassing downward view and if he zoomed on an object on Island its view will be maximised

Basically, Omni-view is a sense fused with the Force field.

He closed his eyes to sleep and cut off the Omni-view. Deep in the night, Elias felt his eyes were still stinging which hindered him from sleeping.

Since he can't, he decided to work the night. With Omni-view he gathered the Woods that resembled the one that sprayed his eyes in front of him and then turned off the Omni-view. 

In blindness, he used Saw and cut them one by one, and poured their liquid into a jar. After he finished with all of them. He was too tired to do anything.

Still, after he tried to sleep, he found it difficult. But he slept most irritatingly. 

He was in that uncomfortable situation he realize that his mind was too tired to make any good plan. Adding to the fact he needed to understand the materials.

He should take a day off and have his mind cleared. 

For the next 3 days, he was resting, mostly. He only packed Ores and the Woods, to give space for more.

On the 3rd of his resting day, Elias realized his problem. He was too haste, which clouded his assessment and made him neglect many things and also he failed to understand some of the Island mechanisms.

On the 4th day, the blind Elias stood with a renewed conviction and clear head. With Omni-view, Elias packed all the clay he could gather. Then select the best flat igneous rock that can be arranged and stacked over each other.

After that, with a grumbled face he brought out his precious water and mixed a wet Clay that he can mould as he wish

He selected the broader flat rocks and arranged them into a rectangle at the edge of the Island, that was after he dug 20cm deep. Then he plastered them with wet Clay and placed another flat rock on top of the first-plastered flat rocks.

And that's how he gradually raised a 20cm crude rectangular room with one longest side opened above the ground. 20cm deep foundation and 20cm up building!

Elias selected non-liquid wide Woods and split them vertically into halves and took them as planks. Then he arranged them on top of the construction and made a compartment. 

In the same way, he raised a construction from the ground, he raised another one on the arranged planks, but he always plaster them with Wet Clay as adhesive.

Just like that, he made five compartments, one on top of one another. If not that the flat rocks were used off, he would have made more compartments. 

After that, he gathered all the Ores into one compartment. Then he gathered all the new Wood that popped out and placed them in another compartment.

"That will do it!"

Then he went on and started making another one with the same structure. But this time, he used the tall Logs of wood as the foundation.

Then he arranged the flat rocks on top and poured sand in the crevices since the rocks aren't that flat before plastering them with Clay.

With a sigh, he admired his work.

After he finished the Second Building, the First had seemed to have dried, then he carried charcoal embers on a flat metal and placed them on each compartment to simmer the Clay to make it rigid and strong.

That will firm it well!

With the remaining wet Clay, he moulded pots.

What Elias understood was that the Island conveyed what he used the most. For example, the Wood he obtained for the first time is not the same as the one he was getting now that has a liquid inside!

As he used the first Wood for fire, the Island changed it to this new one that has Flammable Liquid at the centre and also gives Excellent Charcoal.

Though it still provides the first Wood but in small quantities!
