[A day later]

Now that he's here it's time to get to work. Yesterday when he got to the forest, admittedly, the first thing he had done was to catch a boar and sacrifice it to Athena— Can't forget about that can we?— After that he found a nice place to rest for the night.

Not that he had slept or anything, I mean who can sleep soundly in a forest full of mutated Beasts?. Even though he didn't sleep it's no brainer because he had done this a lot in his Military Training. When it was at dawn he had searched for a water source, even though he still has a few bottles of water he wants to save them — Can't know when he has to leave in an emergency now can he?—

Now that he found a River , it's time he get to work,— he didn't have to worry about the water being poisonous or murky, The age he is in coupled with The River (Water) Nymphs, made sure the water is drinkable— What work you may be wondering? well, the past years he had dived head first into Runes and he had neglected the basic stuff like Boundary Field making.

Although he knew The basic about how to set a Boundary field, there is a problem about that. Its Basic, something that a animal can destroy, When it comes to Beasts then you can forget about it. — The difference between an Animal and Beasts is that animal doesn't have mana or ability to wield Magic on the other hand Beasts does—

And another problem is that its going to be unstable, he doesn't know how many days he going to be in here as he currently doesn't have a plan. He cant be walking in a dangerous territory without sleep although he often gets Suicidal thoughts he's not that suicidal to get mauled by a Beast.

So he came up with a plan. Why doesn't he focus his boundary field on a God?, and wasn't that a bright a idea? and no he isnt sarcastic.

Now currently he has another boar —dead obviously— to sacrifice. Sigh if this isnt mentally tiring then he doesn't know what is, oh wait he knows, His children that he left. Suddenly his thoughts soon turned gloom and dark. Even though he had accepted his death — Something he longed actually— that doesn't mean he accepted the fact that he left his children. He is sure that they'll be okay, they had their mother after all.

He shook his head. ' No time to mope around.'

He immediately get to work. He took out his spear and slashed the tree nearest to him. With a bang! it fell down, he walked near it and cut it in smaller blocks. After that he took out his dagger on his waist and picked a rock on the ground, with a skill he didn't know he had, he carved out a 'thing'. It was 2cm tall, 1m in circumference. He carved it quite nicely if he had to say to himself. Now that he is finished one can see that, this is a tool that won't be invented until a few Generations later

This is a Screw. And yes he carved it from stone, many people can make it out of a tree ( branches) but it won't be strong, that is without Reinforcing it first. Luckily he made his from stone and he is a Rune Master .

So without further delay he Reinforced it with runes, he made sure that the screw can handle the amount of mana — Can't have it turning into dust now can we?—

Now that he is finished, he made a few of them. Then he placed the wooden Blocks on the ground in a door-like structure— a Garage door to be specific. Then he screwed the screws in with his Dagger. when he was finished he Reinforced the whole thing. After that he raised it from the ground and stuck it to the ground.

After that he made his Boundary Field. He made sure that The door is in the Boundary Field. After that he made a Golem, although it is not ' Alive' it's because it doesn't have a core but he doesn't worry over it, it will get the work done. — Apparently runes can make golems, who knew? not him—

After he got in the field and dug out a hole and he filled it with wooden blocks. And with that he light the wooden blocks up. This is a Hearth. All homes or cities have it — and villages too— After that, with a stomp on the ground, runes burst out like whips and sunk in the door.

With that he drag out the boar and Put it in the fire — A crude method of sacrificing to the gods—

Now here he was met with a problem, who does he sacrifice for? Lady Soteria—Σωτηρία—who is the goddess or spirit (daimon) of safety and salvation, deliverance, and preservation from harm (not to be mistaken for Eleos).

Or Lord Janus who , is the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings.

he doesn't want to risk angering a Roman God, he have heard that Greek and Roman doesn't share the same bread anymore. Not sure if it's true or not.

" To Lady Soteria (Σωτηρί)"

" I ask thee for protection and safety"

With that a heavy presence descended in the field, he almost vomited blood with how the presence was. In a second it was gone like an illusion all that's left that proofs that it isn't an illusion was the Boundary field shining for a second and faded, blending with the atmosphere.

He added a concealing Boundary field on top of the Illusion on array in the boundary field.

With that he immediately fell asleep, he was bone tired.
