Page I: The gift of memories..
Cata sat quietly in her room, reminiscing about her old adventures in the small Plant Kingdom. Back then, the kingdom was so tiny and simple that you could see the same people every day. Because of that, strangers slowly became friends.
“I Cant help but feel attached to the past..”
Cata had her friend Rosa, and Vorter was the person she worked for to earn seeds and money. Life was simple in those days. When she first arrived in the kingdom, she was confused and lost. Before she met Rosa or Vorter, there was a mysterious woman who helped her.
The woman was Saudi Arabian, just like Cata. She was quiet and not very talkative, but she kindly taught Cata the basics—how plant citizens spoke their language and how things worked in the kingdom. She even gave Cata some clothes.
Cata was deeply grateful for her help. But after Cata finally settled in, she never saw the woman again. That made her sad. She often wished she could thank her properly.
Still, Cata had many other friends.
First, there was Alan, a rich plant kingdomer with ice powers. His bond with Cata wasn't always the best, but he often helped guide her on her path toward becoming rich
Then there was Agi. Agi was slightly more successful than Cata but shared the same goal as her. He owned a small shop filled with collectibles from deserts, beaches, and jungles—but everything in his shop was very expensive. Agi was 18 while Cata was only 13.
Cata often advised him to lower his prices, but he would always respond, "You can't tell me what to do! You're only 13, just a kiddo after all."
That always made Cata angry, but it was only friendly banter between them, so she forgave him.
Back then, Cata was known as the youngest hardworking plant citizen in the kingdom. She made friends easily, and many people supported her by giving her small amounts of money to help her continue her journey.
There was also a mysterious masked man who saw her often and always gave her helpful advice.
Some of her friends were foreigners too. One of them was a Russian girl named Daisy. Daisy struggled to speak English, so Cata could barely understand her sometimes. But Cata still knew her well because Daisy often bought things from her.
Alan also had a friend known only by the title "Frozen Heart." Cata didn't even know his real name. He disliked Cata because she often asked others for support and believed she was too confident for someone her age.
But did Cata care? Not at all. She had many people who already appreciated her.
There was also a Spanish foreigner named Anthony and his friend Zee. They liked Cata very much. Anthony especially spent a lot of time chatting and playing with her. He admired her greatly and he respected her because of her young age.
Cata also had an Egyptian friend named Leon Zac. Leon loved teasing her about being young because he enjoyed seeing her reactions. Leon and Anthony often surprised Cata with fun little gifts and jokes.
Cata always smiled when she remembered those days.
But now, everyone lived in different kingdoms... separated by distance. She sometimes wished she could visit them all at once and thank them for the wonderful memories they gave her.
One memory came to her mind clearly.
She was standing inside Agi's shop while he looked deeply conflicted.
"Frozen Heart wants to buy my shop," Agi said quietly. "For a Mega Token."
Cata's eyes widened.
"Wow... a Mega Token? I wish I had a Mega Token! You're so lucky, Agi!"
"Well, yes... I want one too," Agi said. "But I feel sad as well. I built this shop myself when I came here. It was also my home. My soul is in this place. I don't want to sell it... but that Mega Token is very tempting."
Cata felt sympathetic.
"Well... I know you won't listen to me because I'm a kid... but..."
"But what?"
"You might get another chance to win a Mega Token someday. But building another place you truly love... and filling it with memories... that's much harder. If you sell this shop, you might regret it so much that the Mega Token won't even make you happy."
Agi listened carefully.
After a moment, he nodded.
"You're right. I'll work hard to earn that Mega Token instead. I won't sell my happiness for it. Thank you, Cata."
Cata's eyes sparkled as she imagined the beautiful coin.
"You know how much I want that Mega Token? It's so shiny... with that beautiful blue diamond color and the tree symbol engraved on it. All its details are amazing! Even a normal Plant Token is gold and pretty... but now it feels ordinary. I want that Mega Token so badly!"
Then she paused and thought.
"If I keep selling things and trading normally... it will take ages to get one Mega Token."
She suddenly had an idea.
"I know! I'll ask everyone I meet for support and donations of Plant Tokens until I collect 100!"
Agi blinked.
"That's... not a very good idea."
"What do you mean? I'm too lazy to keep struggling with selling things and crafting items!"
"So you're just going to walk around asking people for charity?"
"No! I'm not forcing anyone. I'll just politely ask for support!"
Agi sighed.
"Well... go ahead then."
Cata smiled proudly.
"I already have 9 tokens! Time to begin!"
So Cata began her strange little journey, politely asking people if they would support her goal by donating a Plant Token.
Unlike others who asked rudely, Cata always spoke kindly. Some people politely refused, while others generously gave her one token.
Frozen Heart saw her doing this and mocked her for asking people for charity. But Cata ignored him completely.
After three days, she had collected 23 Plant Tokens.
It was decent progress.
So she decided to visit her friend Leon.
"What?!" Leon exclaimed after hearing her plan. "You're trying to collect tokens just by asking people for support?"
"Yes! It's easier!"
Leon shook his head.
"You'll make very slow progress like that. You should work hard and earn profit! For example, you could buy seeds, plant them, grow trees, collect more seeds, and plant again—"
"I'm too lazy for all that work!"
Leon laughed.
"Fine then, lazy plant kingdomer. I have to go back to my farm anyway. I'm doing a 'one week, one Mega Token' challenge."
"Easy," he added confidently.
"Eh," Cata muttered.
Cata continued her journey. But day after day, it became harder.
The island wasn't very big, and there weren't many people. Once she had asked nearly everyone for support, she had to start asking the same people again.
Except for Frozen Heart.
Days later, Cata had finally collected 30 Plant Tokens.. Maybe they weren't halfway to a mega token, which might lead Cata to a different path....
