Chapter 5 - Starting the Garden and trying to relax (Updated version)

When I got to my apartment building, I got off my bike and carried it up the stairs to my apartment. When I got to my floor, I could hear some Hispanic music coming from the apartment right in front of mine, and I didn't really care because I was used to this since I moved here.

I walked into my apartment and put my bike in front of the door. Then I took off my bookbag and put it next to a little table that I kept at the front door. I went to my room and took out some clothes that I didn't mind getting dirty and working in because I was going to work later tonight since I wanted to set up a few things so I could have stuff.

I put on some shorts and a tank top with a hoodie in case it got cold tonight. Then I summoned my MBP (Magical Backpack) and put some water bottles and snacks in it so I could snack on things while I set up my garden of herbs and other things so I could teach myself how to make potions, teas, and other stuff that I could use with the things I was planting. But before I went up to the rooftop, I grabbed a can of cat food and put it in my MBP.

On the rooftop, I took out all the gardening stuff that I was going to use. Then I lined up the pots in three rows of three, and I grabbed the soil. Then I put it in the pots while crushing and rubbing the soil so I had no lumps in it. I planted lavender, jasmine, dandelion, rosemary, valerian, mint, and in the deepest pot I put ginseng in it because stuff like this needed deep pots to grow good. In the last two pots, I put mint and rosemary for cooking and drinks. After I did all that, I started to water the stuff, and I got an idea in my head. So I dug my hands into one of the mint pots. Then I let my HE (Healing Energy) flow to both of my hands. Then I think I started to heal the soil and seeds because I wanted to see if this helped it grow in some way.

"Meow."

I turned around to see a cat that was a tuxedo cat. Then I said to it, "Hey, Hexes, how are you doing tonight?" I asked her as I took my hands out of the pot and grabbed a rag to clean my hands. Then I started to pet her gently as she started to purr. "I bet you come by here just because you know that I would always feed you," I said to her as I went into my MBP and took out the can of cat food I put in it. Then I opened the can and put it on the floor for Hexes to eat. Then I told her as she ate, "You better eat all that because that was a whole 4 dollars."

"Meow?"

"Never mind, you're just a normal cat, so just ignore me," I said as I decided to do the same thing with the mint in every pot because it might have some healing properties, which could and would help me a lot if this worked. Plus, if this worked, then I might have found a way to make healing plants that might multiply the effects that the herbs or plants had.

After I did that, I lay down on the floor and looked up to the stars, which I could not see that much because of clouds and chemical clouds that this fucking city always had in the sky. "Does DC not have light pollution?" I whispered to myself as I looked at the stars I could see through the clouds, and the stars were bright as fuck. This was something I couldn't even think about doing in the "real world" because of how bad the light pollution was there, yet here there was not a lot of that, but it might be because of the companies in this world, so I was happy because of that.

"Time to go in and make some food," I said as I got up and started to put all the stuff back into my MBP. Then I started to head to the door of the rooftop to go back into the building, and Hexes jumped onto my back. Then she sat on my shoulder. "You sleeping with me tonight?" I asked her.

"Meow," she answered me back as if saying yes.

When I got back to my apartment, Hexes jumped off my shoulder and went to lay down on one of my bean bags in the living room. I shook my head as I went to my room to get some clothes so I could take a shower before I started to cook some food for me. In my room, I grabbed a pair of pajama sweatpants and a nice cotton tank top that I only used for sleeping.

Then I went to the bathroom and stripped naked, and I looked at myself in the mirror. "I am going to have to get in shape a little bit," I said to myself as I grabbed onto my love handles and moved them a little bit. Then I said, "I don't really care about having love handles—just want to get in shape so I can move better if I want to fight like I want to."

I turned on the water to a good middle between hot and cold so it was just perfect for me. Then I stepped into the shower. I let my whole body get wet first. Then I started to wash my hair with some shampoo. Then I grabbed a rag and rubbed the bar soap on it. Then I started to clean my body with it slowly. Once I did that, I then rinsed all of the soap and shampoo off my body.

I walked out of the bathroom with a towel on my head for my hair. Then I headed to my living room and turned on my TV to YouTube. Then I put some random shit on to listen to as I cooked.

In the kitchen, I took out about 2 pounds of ground beef because I planned on making some Korean-type ground beef that I learned a few years ago and still loved.

I put some white rice to cook, and I cut some garlic up first. Then I put it in a small bowl, and in another bowl, I put soy sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger. Then I stirred it all together. I put some oil in a wok and let it heat. Then I put the garlic in it and let it cook nicely. Once the garlic looked done, I put the ground beef in it and cooked it. When it was cooked, I poured the liquid mix in it. Then I mixed it good and let it cook. When I saw most of the liquid was gone, I chopped up some green onion. Then I put it in the beef and stirred it until the green onion looked cooked. Then I took it off the burner and put it on another one that was not hot. I grabbed a bowl and put the cooked rice in it. Then I put the beef in too and sriracha on top of it all.

After I got my bowl ready, I went to the living room and sat in the bean bag as I ate, and a new video played because I had it on auto-play.

"Here is why Nen is one of the best power systems created," said the dude on the TV.

I paused as I got an idea in my head and started to smile.

[AN: Hello goblins, I think you know where I am going with this cause I got some ideas that so let me cook.

Anyway he going to be neutral good cause he go no reason to be chaotic or crazy plus he do want to help people.

I think that he going to get Pyrokinesis and I plan on allowing him to use moves and abilities from from fire force and other anime characters that use fire but he not going know how to do it one two three, no he will have to learn how to do it by himself and he will fuck up here and there but everyone does when learning how to do something new.

And I just want to say that when it comes to the Essence of the Crafter, it give him the info on how to make the stuff as if was a recipe for cooking and he will mess up because everyone mess even if they are following the recipe, and it make he good at making things but not the best cause he will have to practice to be the best, just want to say it in case someone people start getting mad that he not the best very fast]
