Chapter 30: hopes of home
The first few things Zenn immediately did when he got the hammer in the forest was to experiment. While he was walking the distance between the mountain and the forest, Zenn was struck by curiosity.
'What would happen if i shrunk the or grew the hammer?'
Such a curious thought had troubled him throughout the walk, but he ultimately held on and did not rashly do so. After all, he did not know much about the god's hammer other than it is heavy. So what would happen if he shrunk it carelessly? It might explode you know.
In the end, he did reach the forest and finally got to experiment on the hammer.
And it turned out that shrinking and growing it is possible. The only problem was that it took too much energy. When he shrunk it, his energy reserves were almost hollowed out, but The hammer barely got much smaller. So he just let it be.
Zenn sat on the ground just near the goblins. He picked up a fruit from nearby and grew it. With a bite, the bitter fruit entered his mouth.
Once again, he could not help but think, 'I miss home foods.'
But this time, he did not look sad of discouraged. He instead looked determined ad hopeful.
This was because unlike what he had expected, he had reached 7% very fast. He was not sure why, but he had feeling. He felt that what he read of the space knowledge was not necessarily all there is. Like he was just looking at the tip o the iceberg. Well, the same was for the reality knowledge, but there was something different about this time. It was like all he so learning now was just basic or elementary knowledge that is my even delving see into the true topic of time.
Whatever it was though, Zenn was happy. Because he now had only the last remaining 3% that's left between him and the space knowledge. And maybe, just maybe, home as well.
So in his eyes, hope grew like a flikering flame. He does not know what will happen tomorrow, but he was eager. In fact, had he not been really tired, he could have went on till he finished it all. But mental fatigue was a serious thing he could not just force. Since the new it builds up, the more mistake he is likely to make.
Such mistake may either set him back or make thing harder and longer for him. So it was better to rest and save the work for another day.
As these thought passed through his mind, the two goblins below bowed to him.
"Greeting lord creator."
Zenn did not say much, he only gave a nod and told the goblins to return to what they were doing.
And as he watched them, he could not help but feel bored. The two goblins just sat on bear the fire and basked in its radiance. There was nothing else for them to do in this night other than such. Since the problem of food had been solved with his time acceleration, they np longer needed yo go around looking for new food sources.
'If i am this bored, i fear to know how they feel.'
After all, although he is bored, he at least has has something to work towards and do. The goblins on the other ha had nothing. This forest is all they have now. Farr beyond this is nothing but wreckage or destruction. So what to do?
According to Zuri, they were truly the last of their race. Thet could go around looking to see o there were any others, but how long will that take? Although the whole world does not look like much to Zenn, to them its like looking for a single person in a country on foot. It's near impossible and can only be attributed to luck. Zenn could help them, but he had his own thing going. So he simply does not have the time. And even if he did help them, it would not do much. It may even be detrimental as a giant person strolling around isn't something you would wish to go towards unless you are suicidal.
'Speaking of which, there is a great possibility that these two are the only two living beings of their race. That means to repopulate they would at some point...'
Zenn looked at these two goblins with two different sizes weirdly. Unhealthy images soon appeared in his mind. Although he found it weird that these two who looked so different are of the same race, he was able to accept it. Just like how lion and lionesses look so different.
'I guess they wouldn't worry about entertainment if they do that.'
Zenn took another bite of the bitter fruit. If he could, Zenn was unwilling eat this fruit any further, but it was all he had and he needed the energy for tomorrow. So he do not skimp on his bitter meal.
A little while later, he was done eating. He went to his personal space. Which by the was merely just a place without any rocks or trees in it. There was no bed or anything to get a good night sleep. Which was a reminder and a fuel of his determination to go back home. True ot was horrible, but for now, it was enough.
...
The night seemed short as he rising sun returned before Zenn knew it. But even the longest night always seem like they aren't enough.
Zenn was not complaining though. His body may long for a moment longer in sleep, but his mind did not. Because it was time. Time to see whether his hunch was true. It was time to get his space knowledge.
