Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: House Building

In the there were eight categories to choose from and each category possess different kinds of things that the may need.

Each 'item' have their own 'price tag' that the must abide to when buying the 'Item' that they choose.

In the category the five saw a hundred different species to choose from. And in those sub category, showed two things.

and . Both worth one point.

Each and from all of the species available had the same price and same option to choose from.

What left them puzzled the most was the fact that except for the which only cost one point, the cheapest option they could choose was a worth ten points.

Seeing the price difference between a living being and a simple graden bed made them all thought of one thing.

"Since if either one of us dies will have a major effect to our survivability, if we were to increase the population significantly, it will cause unpredictable damages we will never be able to repair"

[Do not worry]

Their suspicions was then purged by AQA.

[Only your first time buying in the category will it cost one point]

[The first one you will be buying from the category will remain loyal to you no matter what you do to them]

[Additionally, you will be able to customize the you will be buying. After that, the next time you buy from the category will be randomized. Both in age and appearance]

[Their aptitude, talent, and overall capabilities will be randomized as well]

[However they will, at least, inherit a trait from their creator]

Seeing this Aldo, Charlie, Tony, and Leon tackled Marco at same time.

Thud.

They all fell down to the ground.

"The fuck are you guys doing?"

"We saw that the game you specialize in is Dating simulation and Sex games" Charlie said in disgust.

"Knowing your personality after some time, you would probably buy and customize your own 'partner' to have fun" Tony said in distrust.

"What makes you so sure I would do such a thing?!"

Marco asked, offended by their statements.

"We would be morons to believe someone like you with a face like that?" Leon replied in annoyance.

"Fine! I won't do it! Now let go of me!"

They backed away and gave him space. All except for one.

"Why are you still here?"

"Because you are planning on running away and buying one the moment all of us is separated from you" Aldo replied.

"....."

"Don't bother lying to me. I can tell whether someone is lying or not"

"....."

Marco's hands ended up being tied up by Aldo's tie.

"Putting that aside, I think the thing we will need most will be a book about our surroundings and to build our own house"

"True. We cannot just rely on the for food. We should scavenge for some after buying a book that would tell us what is edible and what is not"

"And if there is a storm, we would be able to take shelter if we have a house"

"But one house cost fifty points though"

"That is expensive"

The four sat down near Marco who was tied up and begun to brainstorm what to do.

"AQA, is it possible for us to merge our own points when buying?"

[That is possible. However, only if all of you will be able to make use of it]

[Buying a weapon that cannot be use by others will not be bought in this situation]

[But buying a shelter that all of you can use regardless of your is possible]

After receiving confirmation, the five of them begun looking for a mansion they could use.

"Castle walls and watchtowers are the only things here. With the space we have right now, we should buy something big with a lot of storage"

"We should also consider the durability and ventilation, as well as what materials will it be made of"

"Also, since we will be having people in the future, we should add some hidden passages. We are not really sure if they would attack us now, are we?"

Everytime one idea would pop up, someone would counter it and pop the balloon of idea.

Once someone wanted to choose something, another would counter it saying that "It will be more efficient it we choose this!"

The five brainstormed again and again for some time until they all came into agreement.

[Are you all sure about this?]

"Yes. We are!"

The lifeless men said with a forced smile, exhausted from their debate.

Within the castle walls, the estimated area came up to at least ten acres.

[I have confirmed that each of you have paid <50> points each]

With this in mind, they chose something they liked both in ideal as a man and practical efficiency.

The four story castle made of strengthened stone bricks then appeared after they decided to place it at the center of the castle.

As a comic artist with the greatest artistic sense among the five, Tony was the one who further added small details to customize the castle they bought to their tastes.

"Well boys, let's head inside and see our new home now, shall we?"

Tony, Leon, and Charlie went in first while Aldo, who is the strongest among the five, lifted Marco along.

"Wow"

"It is incredibly... dark in here"

Other than the sunlight, there was no light source inside.

"No shit sherlock, we don't have electricity here"

"Let's go light up the lamps then"

The three turned around and faced Aldo.

"What?"

"Go buy your magic book and cast fire thingy thing so we won't have to buy a match" Tony said.

"....."

"Besides, it will help you since you will also be needing it"

"Sigh~"

As he could not deny their words, Aldo bought a magic book and started casting the magic.

"Fireball!"

Poof!

The extremely small ball of fire somehow managed to light up the lamp.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

"That was amazing, magician!"

The four then made fun of the small flame that was conjured.

Despite falling to the floor, they all continued to laugh at Aldo while he was quiet from the embarassment.

"I would like to see you try! You guys don't know how hard it is to-"

Poof!

The four turned towards the free Marco in disbelief.

[The player has purchased his first one in the category]

It was only a short amount of time but apparently it was more than enough for Marco to customize his desired partner in bed.

But the fact that he created one was not the problem for them.

"Why does she... no, he have big breasts and a dick?"

"I am bisexual. While I like women more than men, I always dreamt of having a sexy elf femboy"

Marco said with a proud smile.

"....."

"What?"

"....."

The four could not help but facepalmed themselves after seeing what they heard just now.

"We won't have to worry about menstruation or pregnancy this way! So it is a win-win"

[Note, player . While the chances is extremely small, all elves, men or women, are capable of giving birth.]

"What? How come you didn't said anything about it?"

[You did not ask. Did you?]

Feeling stupid for his own negligence, Marco curled up and faced the other way, not wanting to see the expressions his comrades had.

[Do not worry. Your customized did not heard anything. He will soon move after a whole day to give you some preparation]

Hearing this did not made him feel any better.

"Marco"

"... What?"

"Can you look up to see how much they cost now after buying one?"

"Sure!"

Hearing Tony's question, the others became curious as well.

"Wait, let me just... Holy shit!"
