Jaune was awoken by the sun peering through his window.

He rolled over in his bed, covering his eyes with his blanket in an effort to shield himself from the suns burning glare.

Bur that's when it hit him, he didn't have a bed!

Jaune quickly rolled off the bed and pulled his sword out, glancing around the room and pointing his sword all over.

He was inside, that much was certain, but that question was how did he get there?

That's when the memories started to flood back, the raid of the strange village, the army of monsters, the evoker, and his defeat of them.

Calming down slightly, he took notice of the setting his was in.

It was a modest home, made of mostly wood with some stone supports on the sides. The bed he had awoken in was behind him, with the room being bare besides it.

Taking a look out of the window beside him he noticed the strange creature he protected running around doing daily chores. He saw one farming what looked to be wheat, another was dragging some animals along to their pen, he even say one repairing the wall from the previous night.

-well at least we know we made a difference-

-it is nice to see our actions were not in vain-

-well now what?-

-we should go out, not without protection of course, re-equipping our armor would be a good start, as well as crafting a new shield-

True to the voices words, Jaune noticed his armor was missing from his body, leaving him in his ripped jeans and green hoodie. He quickly took note of his armor stacked in the corner, and picked it up.

As he placed the armor back on, he noticed the many cracks and dents in his equipment. Especially his Chestplate and boots. It seems that stunt with the evoker at the end of the fight had some consequences

-well this can't be good, what are we gonna do if our armor breaks?-

-simple, make some new equipment, with whatever we have-

-well I for one think we need better equipment then just iron, there's got to be better stuff somewhere in this world!-

-well the only way to find out is to consult the book-

Jaune pulled out his shiny book and took a seat on his new bed, preparing to read another section.

He flipped to the section titled "mining and the deep" and read on

Mining is quite simple, all you must do is go down deep enough to where lava can be found, and search for the rarest ores there. Diamonds are the best that can be found in the over world, and they are what you should strive to find in your mining trip

Jaune closed the book, silently thanking whoever wrote it for saving him the trouble of finding that out by himself.

-well, now we know how to get some good stuff, finally! I'm getting sick of our stuff constantly breaking-

-now we have a goal, first we have to actually leave this hut we woke up in. We should at least explore the place we saved-

Jaune agreed with the voice, and went to the door.

He opened it slightly, peering out into the village. Seeing no threats, he stepped out into the town.

The residents of the village were still running around, minding their own business and doing their jobs. They even ran by Jaune and completely ignored him, not even sparing the man clad in armor with weapons a second glance.
