Leon trained his skills diligently to one day create the boat that he wanted. However, he also had to prepare for the worst in case he couldn’t create such a ship. He had to have a plan B; his plan B was to run over water, and now that he had a massive supply of green leaves, he didn’t need to increase his stamina, he just needed to increase his speed. That being said, his stamina would increase while he try to increase his speed, anyway.

Since Leon now could use blue angel leaves to recover his mana, he decided to put fewer points in recovery. However, recovery was something natural that happened periodically, so it wasn’t a good idea to neglect that stat.

“I should run for a few days to test if that is really possible...”

Leon grabbed several green angel leaves and ate them whenever his stamina decreased. In the past, he thought that he would be able to run at his top speed indefinitely if his recovery and stamina reach one hundred points, but he was wrong. The faster he got, the more stamina he had to use. That being said, it wasn’t something that bothered him now that he had those leaves.

Although it was boring, the days Leon passed meditating passed rather quickly. In comparison, the fifteen days Leon spent running; he felt like he was in hell. He only ran during the day and paused several times, but the muscle aches made sure that he wouldn’t feel bored. Regardless, after fifteen days of training like that. Leon finally obtained the speed to run over water.

“Oh, boy... I can’t believe this.”

Leon had no idea what the hell was going with Earth, but it was definitely something bad now that humans could obtain the power to do something like that after a few months of training. Regardless, the first part of the test was complete, Leon confirmed that when he outran those fish that he always ate. There was a chance that he would find faster monsters if he try to leave the island by running over water, but that wasn’t something he would think of now. Since he only had to use stamina to run over water, he could use mana to attack the monsters that may approach.

“Now, the next phase is... run over water with a box made of stone.”

Leon tried to create a box as thin as possible, but with his skills, he only managed to create one that was as thick as his fingers. If he tried to make one thinner than that, several cracks would appear around the box. It goes without saying, but the box would be used to carry the green angel leaves.

“This is uncomfortable as hell...”

Leon created a box that had the same size as a backpack, and since it was all made of earth, the surface of it was so rough that it could easily peel Leon’s skin. Nevertheless, he had to endure that. Leon tried to run with it on the beach and noticed that he had lost a lot of his speed, the box had almost fifty kilograms so that it couldn’t be helped.

After confirming that Plan B was plausible, Leon decided to return to his usual routine of training his most essential skills equally while thinking of new ways to leave the island. He couldn't spend too much time focusing on a single plan, otherwise, if he fails, he may become depressed again, and the next time he could really give up. He had to create several plausible plans before putting them into practice to keep his hope alive.

After several days of thinking while training, Leon finally had a new idea. One day, he just suddenly recalled his carefree high-school days and the time he spent playing games. In many of those games, Leon had to pass by some floating platforms... that gave him the idea that he could avoid the ocean altogether. But instead of creating several platforms that would make him cross the ocean, it was much more convenient to create a single and move it around using his mana. It was like he would drive a flying car... but the car would be just a piece of ground big enough to let him sit.

“Another crazy idea... but with blue angel leaves, perhaps...”

Leon decided to test it; he transferred his mana to a piece of land and compressed it to make sturdy enough to endure his weight. It was very thin but sturdy and large enough to let him sit with his legs crossed. Unfortunately, thanks to his weight, his mana was consumed much faster. At this rate, he could barely maintain that piece of earth flying over ten seconds...

“If I eat a blue angel leaf, I can increase my time on it for a second, but... I need to train more.”

Leon put that idea on the list of stupid but plausible plans, once again, the only answer he had was to keep training.
