Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Unveiled Potential

With the creation of a third monster, a level 2 brown wolf, Necro's mind was abuzz with plans. Cleaning up the remains of the frog and wolf carcasses was a prudent move to avoid attracting unwanted attention or pests. Assigning tasks to his slimes, he directed slime 1 to clear the frog remnants while slime 2 tidied the cooking stones and disposed of the wolf's remains. As he muttered his thoughts aloud, a flicker of concern crossed his mind: "Is this cannibalism?" Faye playfully teased him about his musings, lightening the moment.

Necro's confidence in his newly created wolf surged. "This wolf I've crafted can even break these bones." An idea took root in his mind, and he addressed Faye with a request. "Hey, bring me those two intact femurs."

Intrigued, Faye questioned his intention behind collecting the large bones from the deceased wolf. Necro's response was a cryptic promise: "You'll find out tomorrow. It's a surprise."

Turning his attention to his inventory, Necro carefully assessed the resources he had gathered: 2 femurs measuring 30 cm each, 10 sharp teeth, Wolf Eyes with their predatory sight suitable for alchemy or spells, Lone Wolf Essence representing resilience, 10 kilograms of wolf meat, Slime skin, and 1 kilogram of frog meat. Once the monsters had completed their meal, he instructed all three to guard the shelter. Observing the wolf's behavior, he noticed a glimmer of intelligence in its actions, prompting him to question its normalcy.

Efficiently transferring the embers from his cooking fire to a small fireplace made of clay, Necro added more wood while consulting Faye about magic related to finding iron and crafting swords. His frustration with equipment breakage was evident. Faye, however, offered a different solution: extracting iron from the earth. Necro, acknowledging this basic method, inquired about the process. Faye explained that samples from different areas could be used, with the redness of the sample indicating higher iron content. She elaborated that transforming earth into iron required constructing a clay furnace and harvesting a tree or two.

As his tasks weighed heavily on his mind, Necro couldn't help but feel exhausted. The day had been productive, and sleep claimed him.

Upon awakening, a message from the system greeted him: "Congratulations, you exercised, ate well, and rested effectively." The effects were tangible: "+2 permanently to physical stats, +2 to all other aspects due to mana usage and other exercises." As he muttered "stats?" aloud, his stats window materialized.

Yet, a blinking exclamation on the lower right corner of the screen caught his attention—an inbox notification. A single message awaited, freezing his expression in shock: "Message from God."

This unexpected development left Necro in anticipation of what lay ahead.
