Chris
It was early in the morning, the sun was slowly rising.
I was on the ground, sleeping next to a extinct campfire, slowly getting up.
That day, the work for my new house would began.
I was waked up by the sound of branches cracking.
I immediately thought that it was a monster, then I grabed my weapons as fast as possible.
The sound was coming from behind some bushes, I was ready to hit first.
As the sound was approaching, I waited the right moment to send the first blow.
As it was nearer and nearer of me, the sound looked like coming from light steps.
I then concluded that the thing that was approaching wasn't a huge beast like the bear!
With that in mind, I waited for it to come out of the bushes.
When the thing got out, it was just a little goblin.
It was still dangerous even if it was only a goblin, it was still a monster.
I was about to attack when I saw it's eyes, it was crying.
'What is the meaning of this!'
I thought.
I was surprised that a monster could cry like that.
I lowered my weapons, and get nearer of it I was afraid but didn't tried to run away.
It looked like it didn't have the will to fight or doing anything else anymore.
It in a bad state, covered of blood, it didn't look to be its blood, but it still had some bruises.
I was a little sad for it.
I then thought of a way to heal it, and a screen appeared,
「Do you want to use the skill[Heal]?
Yes/No 」
That system was more surprising than I thought, it didn't only give some way to become strong and info, but also designated the most suitable skill to use!
I then chose 'Yes'!
Then a green light began to cover it, and all its wounds began to slowly heal.
I was surprised but the goblin was more surprised than me.
When the light began to fade all the wounds were healed.
I saw that the goblin was fine after my healing skill.
I was planing to go, but it began grab my left leg.
"What?"
I asked as looking at it.
"Gobu"
Was the only answer I got.
It was refusing to let me go no matter how hard i was shaking my leg.
It seemed that it was wanting to stay with me.
I thought at it for a second.
I asked to be away from society but I was mainly thinking at the human society.
So having a goblin as a friend isn't really a bad idea.
'Humans are only with you to use you and throw you away when they don't need you anymore!'
That was how I was thinking at that time.
'It's fine if I take this little guy with me, right!?'
I thought, and then the screen appeared once again,
「Do you want to tame the monster?
Do you want to use the skill [Tame]?
Yes/No 」
Better and better, it seemed that that system of mine was an useful tool.
I chose 'Yes', and then there was a magic circle that appeared on the ground under the goblin and a screen appeared in front of me,
「The contract with the monster have been
concluded

'His stats were pretty good for a lvl. 3'
I thought, and the screen appeared,
「 [input a name]
Submit 」
Then I thought a litlle for a name and after some time of thinking I found the name, and I tapped,
「 [ First ] 」
Then I clicked on 'Submit'.
As I clicked on 'Submit', he began to shine with a
dazzling yellow light, and when the light faded, he had changed, the previously 1 meter goblin was changed into a 1.34 one.
His high wasn't the only thing that have changed, his face was looking more like a human one.
It was still looking childish so I came to the conclusion that it was just a kid.
He was just wearing some fur covering his lower part.
That goblin was going to be my partner.
He was excited by the sudden change.
Then I kneelt in front of him and fondled a little his head.
"From now on, you'll be my friend First!"
I said to him with a warm smile.
His eyes began to shine at hearing my words.
「The familiar [First]has gained the title [First friend]! 」
It then was really happy to have a friend.
"Gobu"
He said with joy.
He wasn't able to speak yet but I would teach him in the future.
Then back to the business, it was time to build the house.
First was excited to help me.
I then opened the quest details,
「Quest: Base building 2
You can choose one of the base models, and the material list will appear!」
There was many house models plans that appeared around me then.
I chose the most basic one and then, the material list appeared,
「Wood ×100
Fur ×30
Rope 100 meter
Sand 10 kg
grease 1 kg
Stone ×50 」
After that First and I began to collect the materials, it took us the whole day to collect all, but thanks to the [Inventory]of the system we were able to stock all the materials without any problem.
Back at the base I was about to check the quest one more time but the screen appeared before I could,
「You have collected all the materials!
You can now build your base!
Do you want to use the skill [Builder master]
Yes/No 」
I chose 'Yes' and then the house that I've chosen appeared instantly in front of me.
When I checked, all the materials had disappeared from the [Inventory].
It looked robust from the outside.
Then First and I went inside, it was really robust, there was a bed and the padding was made with the fur, the covering as well, there was a little kitchen made of stone, there was also a bath made of stone, the sand was used to make the glass of the windows.
The house wasn't big but it was a warm place to live and I had a friend with me.
First was so happy to live there!
He was jumping on the bed like if it was a trampoline.
It was a good start in my second life.
「You have achieved the quest:Base building2
You have received 1000 XP 」
「 You have leveled up 」
Looked like I was progessing.
And it was just the beginning.
