Zack got up from his bed, with a feeling of satisfaction. Sleeping in a bed is way better than sleeping in a carriage.

Due to his accumulated fatigue, he decided to have an actual sleep instead of meditating to recover from his escape. Although he had rested quite well, a very familiar sensation was dragging him towards the sheets, almost ordering him not to get up.

Unfortunately, Zack had just moved in, and there was a huge to-do list.

After getting up, he raised his hands and his body began to glow slightly.

“Clean”

In a few moments, he was completely refreshed, as if he had just gotten out of the shower.

(Magic is really convenient) he thought as he changed his clothes. He had already used this little magic over a hundred times, but it never failed to amaze him.

There were many things to do, but Zack had three priorities: Read the study books, collect medicinal herbs, and explore the city.

What happened yesterday with that child who fainted on the street was luck, Zack's knowledge of medicine is still zero. If he is going to pretend to be a doctor, it is necessary to have certain knowledge.

Furthermore, after reading the late doctor's recipe book yesterday, Zack inspected the rest of the house but did not see any medicine prepared. he doesn't know if the doctor used all the medicine, or if someone stole it, but it is essential to start preparing new medicine in case an emergency occurs.

(I have never prepared medicine, but if I follow the recipe I don't think there will be any problems) he thought naively. Later he would realize how wrong he was.

Considering that it was still early, it seemed quite inappropriate to lock himself in his room to read. If he loses track of time like yesterday, chances are that when he takes a break, the day will be over.

Having decided what to do today, he left the room and prepared to leave.

The entrance to the forest was very close to his case so it didn't take him long to get there.

Unlike in the Forest of Abundance, Zack didn't feel anything special when he entered. Maybe the air is a little cooler than in his house, but that's all.

It is also reasonable. The Forest of Abundance is the most famous in the entire kingdom. Although the kingdom of Parma has many forests, large and small, it is the only one that has its own name. That is enough to show that that place is not simple.

Once he went far enough, Zack spotted something in one of the nearby bushes, some berries. Orange berries.

Seeing them, Zack began to remember what he had read about them.

orange clawberry

These berries, which grow on Clawberry bushes, have a whole of different qualities depending on their color. There are a total of three types of colors: red, orange, and blue.

Orange clawberries are the only type of clawberries that is edible.

People in the north, mash them and mix them with water, making it an emergency ration in case of famine.

Orange clawberries are also known to have healing properties. When consumed, they stimulate the immune system and promote the elimination of toxins.

Zack approached the bush. The reason they are called clawberry bushes is because of the shape of their thorn-covered, claw-shaped branches. Because of this, harvesting their berries is very problematic, and unless you have the proper equipment for harvesting, you will end up with several injuries. Fortunately, Zack doesn't have that problem.

“Mage hand”

With a single gesture, the berries detached themselves from the bush and headed towards his bag. In a few seconds, his empty bag had twenty fresh berries. Once he finished collecting the orange berries, she continued on her way.

Despite it not being a very large forest, Zack underestimated the dangers of getting lost in it. As time passed, the sun moved slowly across the sky, and the temperatures rose with it.

Zack was wary of drinking stream water, but soon he realized that it was not a problem.

“Water Creation”

With a movement of his hand, water began to gush out as if nothing had happened, which he carefully guided into his water bottle. Before, Zack somewhat underestimated tier 0 spells. It's not that he thought they were useless, but only now does he understand how important they are.

(It must be said, I am very grateful for his class currently. Frankly, although I made the plan, I did not expect him to get this far. If I had any other class, it would have been almost impossible to get to where I am actually) he thought as he continued to advance. In the woods. Of course, he was not advancing blindly.

In addition to searching for ingredients, his other objective was to familiarize himself with the area. Now Zack has very little funds. If he can find something valuable, maybe it can be collateral income.

As he continued searching the area, he found something interesting. The herbology books he read showed a large number of plants with beneficial properties, but also certain toxic, or poisonous plants.

Zack saw a couple of dangerous plants while walking. Nothing too important, just a couple of herbs that could cause stomach pain if consumed in moderate amounts. Still, Zack had no intention of picking them up.

The only reason he was here in the first place was to collect medicinal plants. Picking poisonous plants would be of no use to him. If he wants, there are magic spells that would perform much better than poison.

Seeing the position of the sun, it was time to return. If he stayed longer, he wouldn't be able to explore the city a little before it got dark.

However, when he wanted to return Zack realized a small problem. He had no idea which direction the city was. Fortunately, with the some knowledge that he acquired from some books in his world, Zack found his way back.

In this world, the sun also rose in the east. With the help of the position of the sun, Zack was able to identify the cardinal points, allowing him to go in the general direction where the city was located. Once the vegetation became less dense, Zack was able to identify some places he had already been and was able to return safely.

Unfortunately, his little unplanned adventure cost him a couple of hours more than he would have liked.

When he returned to his house, he examined the herbs he had collected. Today was his first expedition into the forest so he was more interested in getting familiar with it than collecting medicine. Still, his harvest was satisfactory.

In addition to the Orange Clawberry, Zack obtained two more herbs that had beneficial properties for the human body.

Rain Root and Copper Sunflower

Rain Root

A root commonly used to treat fever in many medicinal remedies. Its effects are so strong that even just taking the root can relieve symptoms.

The plant to which this root belongs is completely indistinguishable from the herbs that grow around it. The only way to identify it is after heavy rain. Due to its weak grip on the soil, the roots break off and come to the surface during heavy rains.

Due to its powerful effect, it is advisable to treat it before using it on a patient.

Copper Sunflower

A sunflower found in places where the sun is especially strong. Due to its ability to absorb sunlight, this sunflower takes on a coppery hue if not harvested for a long time.

Its petals are used in multiple medicinal remedies due to their body-strengthening effects.

Zack was quite pleased with his collection. It's not that he didn't wish he'd gotten more. It was only the first day. Having collected something can already be considered a success.

Zack left his things at his house and set out to explore the city. Despite having been in this world for roughly eight months, this was the first time he had gone to a city in this world.
