Then MC goes to a nearby safe forest to find cooking materials. Why his parents won't give him any? No idea. Why can't he just buy them? The things in the market are either low quality or EXPENSIVE. He adventures into the forest with nothing other than himself, his clothes, some tools for cooking, and the dragon. If you still don't know yet, the dragon is very near to OPness. There he finds a divine level herb. Neat? Very neat. He is so excited about it that he decides to cook it right there and then with only basic tools and some random herbs he found before he got there. Result? The herb is ruined and the MC becomes depressed. MC is now more mature and won't make such rash decisions in the future. Then he searches for more herbs and finally he comes back to his home.
