Query

But before I start doing anything, I need to be sure to not run into anything dangerous... I'm barely stronger than a twig right now lol.

I could hear a slight noise to my left. I was coming from behind some trees and bushes. It sounded like water.

To learn anything about this world, there are 2 options: Ask the people of this world; And Ask the 'Guide' a question using FP...

"I don't think option 1 would be possible now... I don't see or hear anything related to intelligent life around here. And I don't know if they would be friendly towards me."

I decided to take option 2, Asking the 'Guide' using FP. "Do something difficult to gain FP...", I muttered. "Let's go to that water source first, maybe I'll find something interesting?"

I started walking in the direction of the water source. Withing 2 minutes, I found myself right in front of a small stream. The water so clear that I could see the stony bottom. And the most important thing, I could see fish inside the stream!

"Yesss! Maybe catching fish could be one of those 'difficult tasks'?", I thought to myself.

I turned back to face the trees again. I walked over to a tree with a rather sharp looking branch, and tried to snap it off. Of course, it didn't work...

Frustrated, I pulled down the branch with even more force, and eventually my whole body was hanging on my arms on the branch. I was now in a pull-up position. I've never done pull-ups ever in my life... I couldn't even if I wanted to. But I felt like, if I tried, I could do it here.

I jumped of the ground and mustered up all the strength in my arms to pull myself up to the branch. I succeeded. It was actually easier than I thought. But the branch was still intact though...

I needed more force. I started violently pulling my body up and then releasing my whole body weight on the branch. I got pretty tired after the 5th try. But finally in the 6th pull-up, the branch broke.

"KRUACK!" "DHRUGH" "OUCH!"

The branch broke, and so did my hip-bone, or at least, I thought so because the pain it caused and the sound it made.

"Oh wow! I didn't expect that! well, I guess it really is a difficult task if you really think about it..."

"Maybe this is enough?", "Query! 'How Do I Use Magic?'"

[Query Received!]

[Required FP: 150]

[Couldn't Answer Query!]

[Reason: Not enough FP]

"150?!", I exclaimed. That would mean, I will have to break branches like this 7 more times?!

"well, at least now I know that failed Queries don't take your FP...", I tried to look on the bright side.

"Welp, Crying and Moaning about it won't help... might as well do this...", I steeled my resolve and recalled the countless hours I spent on Elden Ring, Farming runes to level up. "This is Nothing compared to those days!"

I got up from the ground and looked for another breakable branch. I found one, and then started the process of breaking it.

After a solid hour, I had broken all 8 branches.

Tired and sweaty, my whole body was aching. But I still had one task left. Asking the 'guide' about how I could use magic.
