Feeling more confident, Jayde left the room and found Isha waiting for her.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough," Isha said with a wide smile on his face.

Jayde smiled slightly in response.

"Isha, now that I have broken through, this ring of the old man, can I now contract it?" she asked pointing to the ring on her thumb.

"Hmm, there should be no problem now with contracting the ring, just drop a single drop of your blood onto the stone of the ring, and then use your magic to contract the ring. The old man's imprint would have faded after he died"

"Okay, thanks" and with that Jayde left the Pavilion and returned to her cave.

On returning to her cave, the first thing Jayde did was prick her finger with her dagger, and drop a drop of her blood on the ruby stone on the ring. Then pushing her magic into the ring, she formed a contract with it.

Once the ring was infused with her magic, she was able to enter her continuousness into the ring. The space storage wasn't that big, but Jayde was delighted to find out that the ring she had inherited was one of the rare storage rings available in Doha, and she could store living items in it.

While the old man's ring wasn't filled with treasures, it did have quite a few rare plants in clay pots, as well as dozens of herbs, spirit stones, and metal ores. The ring had about fifteen cubic meters of storage space available, and Jayde was ecstatic to find another satchel filled with elven wafer bread.

She was really curious how the old man had acquired so much elven wafer bread, she really suspected that he wasn't from the Lower Realm but was someone from one of the noble families from the Mid Realm.

After seeing the metal ores, Jayde was reminded of the comment made about maybe there was dwarven dark gold. Removing all the metal ores, she then called out to Isha to see if he could identify any dwarven dark gold in the pile of ores in the cave.

Unfortunately, there was no dwarven dark gold, but Isha did point out some valuable metal ores such as storm iron, humming titanium, enchanted dust, and doom copper. Placing these valuable ores back in her space ring for safe keeping, Jayde pulled out the basic fire spell scroll and started to teach herself some basic fire spells.

After a week of practicing her fire spells, Jayde was satisfied with her fireball and fire shield spell, she could also enhance her dagger and arrows with fire attributes so that her dagger and bow now had fire damage. With these spells, her offensive abilities had really increased quite substantially, and Jayde was now confident she could handle whatever the Dark Forest could throw at her.

It had just been over a month since Jayde had arrived on Doha. Waking up early the next morning she decided to prepare to enter the Dark Forest the next day. Jayde spent the morning preparing her weapons, food, and water. She also packed some extra clothing, healing potions and pills as well as some firewood and flint just in case. While rummaging through the goods stored in her "inherited" storage ring she had found an old tent and sleeping bag that the old man must have used while adventuring in the Dark Forest.

Confident that she was prepared for every eventuality, Jayde spent the afternoon going through the old man's notes and reading up on his experiences in the Dark Forest.

His notes were really detailed, giving Jayde a good understanding of what sort of spirit beast she could encounter even going so far as to list the beast's weakness and strengths.

"He must have been a scholar at one time in his life," she thought to herself, after reading the vast amount of data contained in his diaries.

It was just before sunset, that Jayde came across something strange in the diary that she was reading. Noticing that the page she was reading was a lot thicker than the rest, Jayde looked at it carefully and noticed that it really seemed like the pages were stuck together.

Taking her dagger out, she carefully inserted in-between the two pages, and separated the pages. It took some time, but after reading what the pages contained Jayde was really happy that she took the time to separate them.
