"Ah right, can’t you give them fruits and veggies?" Elayne asked the giant lady.
"I-I think there’s some of that around my body... How do they look?" she asked.
"You don’t know?" Elayne wondered. "Hm... Okay, let me help you."
Elayne touched her body, closed her eyes, and thought of fruits and vegetables. From the soil, dozens of plants began sprouting.
"W-Wow! It worked?!" the Lady Giantess gasped.
"Amazing!" Elayne said happily.
She quickly gathered the fruits and vegetables and offered them to the primitive plant people, who looked at them as if they were divine treasures. They received them while crying, their tears thick like oily tree sap. Each drop sprouted flowers in the grass.
"Kunwawa!"
"Kunwawa, Karanha..."
"Kunwawa..."
"Are they saying thank you?" Elayne wondered, smiling. "Well, have a good day!"
Before she left, a small child from the tribe ran toward her, offering something in return.
"Karanha... Kuwawa..."
"Hm?"
Elayne smiled, lowered her head, and petted the girl, making her eyes shine with joy.
"Awawa!"
The child offered Elayne a small, beautiful crystal of green and gold, radiating rich spiritual energy.
"Oh my god! Thank you so much, little one."
Elayne kissed her forehead, making the girl beam with happiness. The child hugged her and tried to imitate her, kissing Elayne’s face repeatedly.
"Hahaha, you’re so cute."
The girl ran back to her family, waving her tiny hand from afar.
"Bye! Take care!"
As the tribe departed with the fruits and vegetables, Elayne examined the glowing crystal. It seemed to be a Spirit Crystal, but unlike any she had seen before. Its quality was immaculate, and it even contained Soul Essence.
"The Netherworld doesn’t grow Spirit Crystals at all; there’s no Spirit Energy in the environment. They’re so hard to find... I wish I could bring this with me. But this is likely just some sort of Dream World."
Sighing, Elayne climbed back onto the Lady Giantess, sharing the fruits and vegetables with her.
"Oh, what’s this? Hmm, it’s tasty..." said the Lady Giantess.
"Yes, they’re fruits and vegetables farmed in Arcadia and Earth," Elayne explained. "You see, I am a Farmer—a Class specialized in raising and harvesting crops and animals."
"Wow! So cool...!" Lady Giantess clapped her enormous hands. "Oh dear, what’s happening?"
"Eh? Uwaaah?!" Elayne panicked as she began scattering. "I-I think I’m waking up! Ah, dang it, we couldn’t find out what this place truly was..."
"For now, let me teach you a Spell," said Lady Giantess. "I will engrave it into your Mindscape."
"Eh? Ah!" Elayne’s eyes widened as she saw an ethereal hand inscribe a complex spell formula. "What is this Spell?"
"It is an Astral Body Projection Spell," said Lady Giantess. "Use it to visit me again whenever you can. Take care, Elayne—my first friend..."
"Ah, yeah! Bye! I’ll come back soon!" Elayne waved, still clutching the crystal. "Ah, it’s going to fall once I disappear...!"
Panicking, she held the crystal tightly and focused on the Astral Body Projection Spell engraved in her Mindscape. She activated it.
FLASH!
Her aura wrapped around the crystal, turning it ethereal like her, scattering alongside her body.
"Oh no!"
Elayne awoke inside her home in the Domain, her dark house illuminated by floating yellow flames—likely conjured by Mark.
"Ah..."
She sighed, realizing it had been a dream—or something close. Yet her eyes narrowed as she felt something imprinted inside her mind.
"No wait, this is my Mindscape. Wow."
Elayne had developed Psychic Powers before through Arcadia’s Skills, inherited from her Familiars. But she had never experienced this sensation. It revealed that psychic powers from skills could never awaken a true Mindscape, as they were artificial.
"My Mindscape... I can see it. Vast and beautiful, full of my memories... Wait, when I saved Mark, I entered his Mindscape too! Amazing..."
She discovered her Mindscape was a vast land of colors and shapes, each formed from memories and thoughts, constantly shifting. Yet one thing remained unchanged: a large magic circle imprinted at its center, filled with runes.
"The Astral Projection Spell Formula... So it wasn’t a dream. I really met Lady Giantess and fed those plant people."
She was shocked, amazed even.
But that wasn’t all.
"...Huh? What?!"
Elayne was holding a glowing crystal, emanating rich spiritual energy in emerald and gold hues.
"The Spirit Crystal! Wait, what is this? Can’t the System tell me?"
She checked the System Information as usual.

"So vague... I guess I can’t get the best description since I’m not a Player."
As she pondered, several system messages appeared.
