…
After a while, I finally leave Icarus Falls successfully
Then I lean against a tree to rest
"Well, first of all I will have to find a very big and resistant tree! After all, on the way here I found several trees that were felled!
Probably the monsters that knocked them down were too big to pass between them! I don't want this to happen to my base!
Besides, there is something that I haven't been able to decide yet! This is the location where I will build my base!
I am not sure if I should build near Icarus Falls. The advantage of this is, of course, faster access to a water source!
However, the disadvantage is that it is very noisy here and I cannot hear anything that tries to get close to my base!
The monsters can find me! After all, if their sense of smell is very strong it is a simple task to find me!
Besides, there are thousands of monsters around this river! I saw many leaving, but many others arrive to take the place!
I'm not in the mood to test, if this unspoken rule of not attacking each other is also true of me.
After all, I'm busy and i don't have time for this right now!"
I keep leaning against the tree, while I think about what to do
At this time, an idea crosses my mind
"Oh, I already know what to do! I will build a house in a location farther from the river! Then I will look for a bamboo-like material!
I don't believe I won't be able to find a bamboo-like material in this world where magic exists!
So, I build pipes using that material and make a small water well near my house!
With this idea, I can finally put into practice what I learned! After spending thousands of hours watching old videos.
Of people building houses and swimming pools in the middle of forests just using the own hands!
Man, I'm a fucking genius! Okay, let's do this! "
…
After more than two hours of searching, I finally found not one, but two trees that fulfill both conditions.
"Damn! This took a lot longer than I imagined at first! After all, it seems that these two conditions are not that simple!
Well, it is a thirty-minute running from Icarus Falls to here! These trees are very similar to a Sequoia Sempervirens!
With the difference, that they have many branches and are made of the same rainbow wood.
They are a few meters away from each other, and some of their branches meet and intertwine.
Thus forming a set of bridges between the trees. I think that if I reinforce these branch bridges by tying them together.
Using the vines and branches that I found lying around, I can build a very firm foundation on top of them!
Okay, that sounds like a good plan! However, before I continue I think it's better to go back to the river!
After all I'm thirsty and I'm starting to get hungry!"
...
After walking for a few minutes I arrive at the river, approach and take a few sips of "Water"
"Argh... as I expected, my throat hasn't gotten used to that feeling yet!"
[The host ingested @!!*#?/§! Blood! ...]
[The host does not meet the requirements..... much of the blood is lost.... the host absorbs a small part...]
[The host has his thirst quenched...]
"Yeah, Yeah Elizabeth! I already know that! Now that I have resolved my thirst, the real problem begins!
How to deal with my hunger? I'm not that hungry right now, but I think it's best to take care of that in advance.
I don't think I'll be lucky to find another corpse up for grabs around. That sentence would get me arrested if I were on Earth!
Ahem… I think I'm going to have to do like my ancestors, sharpen a branch with a stone and make an improvised Spear!
Yeah, a Spear would be perfect! After all, although after [Second trip to Hell] I mastered the use of various weapons.
The weapon I most enjoyed using was the Spear!
Anyway! From what I remember, to make a spear, the wood used in it has to follow some criteria!
These criteria are the wood or the branch, must be as straight as possible to help the structural strength of the Spear.
It has to be bigger than me! After all, I don't want to stumble and impale my head unintentionally!
Finally, this wood must be neither too thick nor too thin… it has to fit well in my hands!"
Having established the criteria, I move away from the river in search of a wood that fulfill them.
I walk for a few minutes in the opposite direction of my future base.
On the way, I find several branches that do not meet the criteria
However, I still pull them out, and start carrying them with me with the intention of using them in the construction of my base.
I decide to go back, and slowly walk towards the location of my future base.
"Hmm, I think this is a good amount! Better, go back to those trees! With luck, on the way I find a branch that suits my needs!
Huehuehue! That sounds like a joke! Me, someone with luck -10 is depending on her to survive! Sigh! I'm screwed up!"
Some minutes later, I find some trees full of vines; I use some of them to tie the branches for easy transport.
After tying the branches, I take advantage and take several of the thicker vines to help build my house.
I continue walking for a few more minutes and finally find a branch that suits my needs.
"Huehuehue! I think my luck value is wrong in status! You should review this, Elizabeth!"
After a little effort, I manage to pull the branch out without damaging it
Then I walk towards my base, I approach and place the branches and vines on the ground.
I look up and see that the sun is far from setting.
"Sigh! Let's start then!"
I spread the branches on the floor and start to divide them into different groups
According to their size to facilitate the construction of the foundation of the base
After a few minutes, I finish making the division.
"Phew... I think I had better sharpen a spear right away! After all, this trip left me hungry!"
I go to the branch I separated, pick it up, and then start looking for a sharp stone to make the spear.
After a few minutes, I manage to find one, and then I use it to remove the small branches and leaves
With that, I leave the branch completely smooth
After that, I start to sharpen one end of the branch
To do this I support the branch on the ground and use the stone to scrape the end, from top to bottom.
"I feel like a narrator of one of those shows I saw on the network where people teach how to make primitive weapons!
Maybe I should steal Alkeides' dream of becoming the King of Narrators!"
After a few minutes, when I am satisfied with how sharp the tip of the spear is.
I hear a little beep and head and several notifications appear in my head
[New skill acquired successfully!]
[Basic Smithing!]
[New item created successfully… Rainbow Wooden Spear!]
"Oh, I got one more skill! Cool! Let's see, what Elizabeth has to say about this item!"
[A simple spear made of the Rainbow of Wood (Common)]
[Damage: 5 -10]
[Defense: None]
[Durability: 10/10]
[Item Requirements: 2 STR, 3 DEX]
[Additional Bonus: None]
[Item Rank: Common (9%)]
(Note: The materials used in making this item are low-level.
This factor combined with the fact that the creator of this item has a very low level in the [Blacksmithing] Skill.
Resulted in the creation of this low-level item)
"Oh, so the weapon damage ranges from 5 to 10! How it works? It depends on the part of my enemy's body where I attack?
Like, if I hit the head, the weapon does 10 damage, and if I hit the foot, it does just 5 damage? That's how it works?
Or maybe, the damage simply depend on luck. Well, I will end up discovering this mechanic after some tests!
Anyway, something that caught my attention was the name of this wood! Rainbow Wood… how much lack of creativity!
What is the name of its tree? Rainbow Tree? Huehuehue!"
At this time, while I'm distracted looking at my spear, Elizabeth reminds me of why I made this spear
[The host is hungry...]
[The system suggests is: Quench your hunger by eating something...]
"Thanks, Elizabeth for remembering this, I had even forgotten! Well then, let's go!"
I start walking towards Icarus Falls while carrying my spear.
"I go over there and wait for a lone monster to walk away from the river and then I follow and kill it! Easy Peace!
Now that I think with a spear, now I can technically call myself a Lancer and as a heroic soul.
I technically have the right to fight for the Holy Grail, just like Cúchulainn, the Blue Spearman of the Wind!
Wait! What if I have chosen the wrong character? Nah! This is impossible! Although I didn't watch it!
I'm sure that in the end he wins and has the right to have a wish fulfilled by the Holy Grail!
After all, he looked total like a Badass character!"
While lost in thought, I arrive at the river, after a few seconds looking at the surroundings
I decide to climb a tree to get a better view of the area.
"Wow! I hadn't noticed before, but there are many monsters that don't look like animals!
For example, that one floating alone in a part of the lake!"
This monster, is shaped like a three-dimensional sphere
He's all black and the texture of its skin resembles metal
It's not very big, just a little bigger than a basketball.
It has big eyes spread all over its body
At the bottom of its spherical body, It has a huge mouth that has countless teeth that look like saws.
He is floating over the lake and occasionally goes down to lean his big mouth over the lake, as if he is drinking water.
Despite its size, not one of the nearby monsters tries to approach, on the contrary, when they notice it, they move away.
"Interesting! I'll call you…WATCHER! You have to say the name in a dramatic voice!
Besides, If you are wondering, If I gave that name because of the multiple eyes, he have.
The answer is YES! That is obvious! Well, I think I'm going to hunt one of these Watchers's, but not now!
After all, I don't even know if it's edible! Besides, I already have a prey! My prey is that big wolf, who is drinking water alone!"
He is the same size as Kiyotaka
His appearance is almost identical except for his color and the energy that surrounds him.
The color of his fur is yellow and the energy that surrounds his body is golden.
"I chose it for two reasons! The first is that he is one of the few monsters that I think I can defeat, that he is alone!
The second and main reason is that I am angry with Kiyotaka and his pack!
So, I just want to take out my anger on a wolf type monster!"
The big wolf finishes drinking water and moves away from the lake.
"Huehuehue! Today you will die my friend! Huh? This was less sinister than I expected! Well, whatever!"
