(Day 18)
[Ding! Evolution complete! Companion Ash has evolved into a Magic wolf, stats have been boosted]
[Name: Ash
[Age: 5]
[Species: Magic wolf(no specialized element)]
[Level: 18]
[Skills:
"great that stat boost gets me closer to completing the task! now let's go out and hunt I need to test Ash's new power."
(Plains near the Homestead)
After Ash's evolution, we left to go towards the plains as it was an area I haven't explored that well and as luck would have it, there was a mid-tier 2 dire bear ready to fight so once we got close enough I sent ash out to battle it.
Ash went out with a fast start activating
Once the bear realized what had just happened it seemed to have entered a frenzied state which only served to bring its downfall even quicker, once the bear charged at Ash haphazardly Ash jumped out of the way last second causing the bear to tumble and fall, capitalizing on this, Ash ran over and used
[Ding! Companion Ash has slain (lvl 17 Dire bear)! Level up!]
After that fight ended I took Ash back home to rest and heal up.
Once we got back I, in turn, took Luna out to level up and after 5 hours of hunting she leveled up twice.
[Luna]
[level: 11]
[Ding! Companion Luna has met the requirements to evolve would you like her to evolve or wait?]
"Hmm… I wanted to evolve Luna as quickly as possible to give her a power boost but something about the system asking if I want to hold out interests me, like what if there is a special evolution with requirements to unlock. After thinking it over I decided to hold out until the foreseeable future."
(Day 19)
After all the leveling my companions did it got me itching to get back out there and fight so I decided to explore the forest by myself today and out of nowhere, I got a notification telling me there was a goblin squad of 6 near me, at first I thought I was seeing things until the system explained…
[I forgot to mention that in this world there are also an assortment of different intelligent and minor intelligent creatures all around the world like what you have just come across goblins, they are a race of small semi-intelligent creatures who are known for feasting on any flesh they could find they are also known for their crazy reproduction capabilities and their minor mastery in alchemy so always be careful of cloaked goblins who might have poisons and acids hidden]
Knowing what I just learned I made sure to sneakily approach the squad of goblins and once I noticed there wasn't a cloaked one I engaged…
Magic missile x2!
-10 mana
[Ding! Host has slain 2 lvl 10 goblins! level up!]
[New Level: 14]
Put all 5 points into intelligence.
[Intelligence: 40 -> 45]
[Mana: 135 -> 140
After I leveled up I proceeded to ruthlessly and bloodily decimate the rest of the goblins. After I stacked the bodies and burnt them I left to go back home then all of a sudden I got an exciting notification.
[Would you like to buy a spellbook on tier 3 fire spells for 25 skill points]
Yes!
[Ding! Tier 3 Fire spellbook has been bought!]
"Nice now I can advance to a tier 3 apprentice mage! but first I'm gonna learn a new druid skill from the spellbook I forgot I owned."
(3 hours later)
[Ding! Congratulations on learning a new skill
[Agriculture Accelerator]
- A skill that uses large amounts of mana to speed up the growth of crops, the speed at which they grow depends on the amount of mana used, the maximum range of the spell is 1 acre.
"Awesome this skill will surely help me in the future!"
(Crop field)
After I learned the new skill I decided to go and try it out in the field and once I got there I used the skill, I was surprised to find out that the newly planted crops grew halfway after using 120 mana on an acre of crops.
of course, after that, I went back home to rest and accumulate mana since I used almost all of my mana on the spell.
(Later)
After I had fully recovered I went outside to go take a walk around my land as I liked to do it in this new world, then I got a notification...
[Ding! Companion Ash has slain Giant Rat lvl 15! level up!]
At first, this caught me off guard because I didn't know Ash was roaming around the perimeter but the next thing that shocked me was the existence of giant rats! after I mentally thanked Ash for exterminating the vermin I realized I completed the quest and then the system notified me as well.
[Ding! Task has been completed! The host has earned the title
"yes! now I'm closer to my goal of having a pack of wolves at my disposal!"
after that I went to Ash and collected the corpse so I can take it back and store it for the wolves to eat later. the way I store food now has gotten better since I acquired the use of the ice element, even though it is just back control over ice using
after I got back and put the meat away I decided to learn my first tier 3 spell so i could advance.
(5 hours later)
after 5 hours I finally comprehended the tier 3 fire spell
[Ding! Host has advanced to a tier 3 apprentice mage! Mana has been boosted.]
[Mana: 140 -> 175]
"Nice with this I just became a whole lot stronger."
After that, I thought that I wouldn't have to deal with anything else that was headache-inducing but boy was I wrong, instead, I went and got myself involved in a tribal conflict after, I had my first encounter with other humans.
(Day 20)
Once the morning sun came in I decided to get up and go walk the fields and tend to them and I had a peaceful morning, that is until I came across a couple of natives who looked like they were on death's door, and being the good samaritan I am I carried them home to heal their injuries not knowing what consequences would follow with that decision.
(The homestead)
"god these two are heavy, hey Ash come here and help me carry this one."
once i had gotten the wounded man on top of Ash I had to stand back and appreciate how Ash was now 1.8 meters tall, almost as tall as me. Once we got back to the house I checked the status of the two strangers to size them up and see if they would be a threat later.
[Name: Frank]
[Species: Human]
[Affiliation: Twin lake tribe(Warrior)]
[Age: 31]
[Warrior Realm: 6th tier Apprentice]
[Name: Yganth]
[Species: Human]
[Affiliation: Twin lake tribe(mage in training)]
[Age: 21]
[Mage Realm: 2nd tier Apprentice]
"Wow, this is the first time I'm seeing a native with magic and he seems pretty young to, impressive."
After that, I tended to their injuries and used a newly developed skill
(2 hours later)
Rustling.
"AHHH!" Screamed Frank.
"Woah calm down, your fine now your safe, jeez bit dramatic don't you think?" I chuckled
"Who are and where am I and what happened to yganth?!" He said
"Relax you're in my home a yganth is next to you, I found you out in the woods pretty beaten up so I carried you back here to heal you," I said
"Thank you but still, who are you?" He said
"Sigh, I'm Shin, just a humble hunter, and farmer I guess."
"Where is your tribe shin?" He asked
"I don't have a tribe it's just me and my pet wolves," I said
"Pet wolves, where I don't see any?" He asked
-you 4 come here, the guest wants to see you and I want to do a show of power to dissuade him from hostile thoughts-
-yes master- *in unison*
"These 3 are Scar, Cloud, and Luna." I said
"Where's the 4th one?" He asked
I smiled and chuckled then I called Ash in and when he saw my pet magic wolves who was pushing 2 meters I saw the color drain from his face.
"H-h-h-how did you tame a magic wolf?!" He screamed in shock
"Well it wasn't that hard considering he was a dire wolf pup when I found him," I said nonchalantly
"I guess that makes sense if he started as a dire wolf, well I'm sorry for my unsightly appearance my name is Frank and I'm from the Twin lake tribe."
"Nice to meet you Frank once again I'm Shin the solo farmer and hunter."
"I couldn't help but notice the guy with you posses magic ability, is he in trading?" I asked
Even though I knew the answer because of appraisal I wanted to see if this man would be truthful with me or try to lie to me.
"Yes, he is in training and I'm a Warrior tasked with guarding him at all times even though I guess I failed huh." He said scratching the back of his head
After that, we talked for a while and I asked him about the surrounding tribes and if there were any big clans to.
System compile the info and tell it back to me please.
[There are 6 major tribes in the southern part of the Italian peninsula, in no particular order there is, the Twin lake tribe who is 5 km to the south of you then there is the tribe of Drak who you have seen before, they are 3 km to the north of you, next there is the black rock tribe 10 km west of you, then the antler tribe southwest of you by 20 km and then there is the tribe of mangrove who is 8 km northwest of you, and finally there is the valley tribe who is 7 km southwest of you. Other then that there are various nomad tribes and smaller tribes of 10-15 people.]
What about the Neanderthal tribe I encountered, do they have a settlement here?
[They do however it's in Sardinia in modern day Palermo while you are in modern day Cosenza so they aren't much of a threat.]
I see, thanks for the info.
"Thank you for telling me this I appreciate it, now is there any conflicts or tribal wars going on right now?" I asked
"Yes there is, right now our Twin lake tribe is in a feud with the Valley tribe over hunting land." He said
After talking for another couple of hours I decided to start getting diner ready and that's when the little mage in training woke up and his guardian Frank to him everything that happened so he thanked me then we ate and fell asleep.
(Day 21)
Once we got up and ate breakfast I decided to travel with them to their tribe to try and set up trade relations because of what Frank said about their crop shortage in the tribe, so I thought I might as well make nice with the locals here since it's my new home and I might even be able to swing a defense pact later.
(Couple of hours later)
Once we arrived at the tribe the first thing that happened was a woman came out of a hut running and went to hug yganth which I guess was his mother, after that a couple of the warriors up front confronted me asking who I was and what tribe I'm from to which Frank intervened to told them all about what happened, after that fun encounter they took me to the chiefs tent to talk business and it seemed that the situation got even worse as I walked past several shriveled up crops and dead animals.
(Chief hut)
"Hello I am Shin Midnight, I have come here to talk with you about setting up trade relations, I heard from Frank that y'all have a crop problem and I just so happen to have the solution so what do you say, friends?
