Doug was filled with a sense of renewed strength and purpose as he surveyed the damage caused by the beast tide. He had never felt more powerful, more in control of his magic, after he had killed the boss tide and drained its mana. He knew that he had to start the rebuild process as soon as possible, and so he began to lay out his plans.
First, Doug used his earth magic to construct a strong and sturdy wall around the village, creating a medieval-like stronghold. He then dug pits and placed traps all around the wall, creating a defensive barrier that would protect the village from any future attacks.
Next, Doug used his magic to construct multi-story houses, maximizing the space within the village walls. This allowed him to fit all the villagers in without having to expand the wall, which would have taken much more time and resources. He also created steel tubes and a piping system to deliver water to the houses, using his newfound knowledge of incantations to control the flow of water and keep it fresh.
It took Doug a total of two months of hard work and determination to complete the rebuild, but he was proud of what he had accomplished. Throughout the process, he spoke with the other villagers and received much encouragement and support. They were grateful for his help and amazed at the things he could do with his magic.
By the end of a long work day, as he was finishing up constructing the last of house, a girl called Miriam approached him with a small package in her hand. She was the village head's daughter, and she wanted to thank Doug for all that he had done for the village. He accepted and opened the package to find a beautiful necklace made of silver and amethyst, with the symbol of the village etched into the pendant.
"I wanted to thank you for everything you have done for us," said Miriam, her eyes shining with gratitude. "My father and I believe that you are truly a hero, and we are honored to call you a friend."
Doug felt a warm rush of pride at her words. He was grateful to be a part of such a wonderful community, and he was eager to continue using his magic to make a positive impact on their lives. With his increased mana and magic power, he was ready to tackle any challenge that might come his way.
