Lokie observed the new system HUD, figuring out what to do next.
"System AI!, Hello?"
'No response, huh?' Lokie thought.
"Sigh... So, should I build these myself or will they just magically appear if I press on the Building Structure HUD?"
Lokie kept on pressing the building structure HUD, expecting something to happen, but alas, nothing happened.
"Damn it," Lokie cursed, and out of frustration, he pressed the HUD longer and harder.
*DING*
Chieftain Hut.
- Provides shelter and benefits based on the structure level.
- Automatically generates class proficiency every day by 5.
- Increase health and stamina regeneration by 1.4x and 1.2x, respectively, when resting inside.
- Construction Manual: Construct a hut; once built, smear the hut's door and inner walls with the host's blood. Once the amount of blood has been met, the system benefits will activate.
"Uhm, what? I have to build it on my own? FUCK me!" Lokie cursed.
For the past few days, he has fought for his life. He has used what's left of his brain cells to come up with many ideas. He thought about how to improve his current situation, and he found out the hard way that his species is as dumb as fuck.
Crafting a makeshift spear? Nope, too bad. For some unknown reason, I exert way too much strength. Rope? NOT ON MY WATCH! This species has Tourette syndrome for violence. It's a sudden impulse that just can't be controlled.
"Sigh... What can you do? , nothing. Let's just suck it up."
Lokie observed his surroundings, checking for a place to construct his hut.
"I think I'm lost. ~Heavy Breathing~ calm down, calm down! I SAID CALM DOWN!!!"
Lokie went nuts; he found the nearest tree with a 4-inch-diameter trunk.
"FUCK YOU TREE!"
He punched and kicked the poor tree, releasing his frustration.
"Fuck you, plant!"
The poor plant was stumped to death.
"Fuck you, stone."
The stone was huge, had an uneven surface, was the same height as Lokie, and was longer than Lokie when he extended both of his hands sideways.
"Ahh, no, this will hurt. ~PAUSE~ Fuck you soil!"
as Lokie released his pent up stress, destroying trees, stumping plants, and madly scratching the soil.
Lokie laid down in exhaustion, and as he observed his surroundings from his current position, he noticed something.
Lokie stood up and walked towards the fallen, mangled tree.
"hummm, this..."
Lokie touched the tree trunk and checked his surroundings again. He saw some small rocks he dug up when he frantically clawed the soil.
Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.
"This... this could work or not, but still, fuck it, let's do this."
Lokie looked for sturdy trees to use as pillars; after a while, he found an acceptable place: four trees forming a square with 100–120 inches in distance between each of them. He hurriedly dragged the abused fallen trunk, which had a 3–5-inch diameter and a length of 125 inches.
Placing them between the pair of trees, he placed some rocks on each side of the trunk, and covered it with mud mixed with small pebbles.
After some violent Tourette or spasms, Lokie managed to build a hut for Smurfs, but he wasn't done yet.
He knew if he tried to make a normal hut, it would crumble at a certain height, and with how weak the foundation was, it was inevitable that it would happen.
So he dug the soil inside the Smurf hut, deep enough that he could walk and stand.
Standing outside the hut, Lokie stared at it.
"Not even the hobo would live in a place like this, but I could rent this hut for $1000 in New York," he said, nodding in satisfaction and admiring his first hut.
"Now, I just need to smear it with some blood, but how much?"
Lokie grabbed a slightly sharp rock and made a wound where it wouldn't inconvenience him if he needed to hunt later.
"Smear... smear... smear.... Huh? damn, my wound is healing,"
Lokie tried to grab a shard stick, attempting to pierce his palm
"slowly and steadily ~WILD TOURETTES~ ~Puchi~ (stick piercing his palm) ARGGGHHHH"
as Lokie franticly smeared the blood on the walls of his hut.
*DING*
*Would you like to use 175 units of your vital energy to construct the Chieftain Hut now?*
*Y/N*
As Lokie was smearing the blood on his wall, he heard the system notification and subconsciously agreed.
"YES! ARGG! KEK!" Lokie felt like the guy who died from excessive masturbation. DRY! passed out.
Lokie woke up sometime.
"Ughh Water... Water..."
He weakly stood up and searched for some water trees. As he tried to weakly squeeze the water branch, once a drop of liquid touched his lips, vigor suddenly came to him, and he franticly squeezed the branch hard and even chewed on it.
"Ahh, that felt really uncomfortable; my throat itches. Phew!, Despite the fact that I am now hydrated, I am hungry, ~Angry Stomach Noises~ very hungry."
Lokie stood up and left the hut to hunt for something to eat.
Of course, he marked some trees so he could find his way back to the hut and remembered some stuff, some scenery, that would mark the hut's location.
After a few hours of hunting, Lokie came back with his prey—good old mangled rodents and fucked up rabbits.
Lokie laid inside his hut as he ate, checked the other structures on the HUD.
*DING*
*Orkling Hut*
- Provides shelter and small benefits
- Spawns one(1) Orkling a day(24hrs)
- Can provide one(1) constitution trait
- Construction manual: Build the hut near the vicinity of the Chieftain hut, inside the hut must be soil based flooring, smear the soil with your blood. Once enough materials has been met, system benefits will activate.
"Fucking huts again, its like asking a dwarf to make a tree house or an elf to build a mining path."
"Asking a species who are good at destroying to build stuff! Also what's with the blood and stuff, this is worst than a cult!"
Lokie grumbled and proceed to checked the other structures.
*DING*
*Orkling Warehouse*
- Provides shelter for goods against nature
- Slightly reduce the deterioration rate of consumable goods.
- Construction Manual: Build a structure underground or a cave-like structure that can be built far from the chieftain's hut. Smear the structure's walls with your blood. When there are enough materials, the system's benefits will be activated.
"Blood again, at least I can just find a cave to construct the warehouse, as for constructing an underground warehouse, don't even think about it."
Lokie gave his opinion and ideas and checked the other structures.
*DING*
*Orkling Pool*
- Heals some of the Orkling's grievous wounds and restores fatigue when they are submerged.
- When consumed, it will provide a slight replenish and boost on stamina.
- Once removed from the Orkling pool, the storage life is 3 hours.
- Construction Manual: Build a pond-like structure near the chieftain hut; depending on its size, an amount of blood is required to construct it. Provide a limb of the host as a catalyst; depending on the size, the amount of limbs required to construct will be determined once the materials are met, and the system benefits will activate.
"JESUS F***ING CHRIST! Building the pool would literally cost me an arm or a leg."
Lokie cursed to his heart's content.
*DING*
*Orkling Totem*
- Provides auxiliary benefits
- Constantly emits a suppression aura around the totem. Note: This might provoke a dangerous lifeform.
- Construction Manual: Find a 10–15-inch-diameter log and use the host's blood to draw an image, place the totem near the chieftain hut. Once drawn, the system's benefits will activate.
"Great! As if building was not enough, now I have to draw with my blood! Is my species a fucking coconut tree, where every part has its use—blood for wall paint and soil fertilizer, limbs for some holy water, and now, blood again for ink? I just can't catch a break, can I?"
Lokie contemplated what to do; one thing is for sure: the pool isn't on the list to be built. For sure, there will be no pool slides and pool parties.
"The pool is a no-no. As for the warehouse, I just have to look for a cave, and if I can't find one, then... we will get there when we get there."
"The Orkling Hut, on the other hand, should be my next priority."
"I wonder what the Orkling would look like. Sigh. Then totem. Right, Totem, Drawing ~Deep Breath~ this is fine; I got all the time I need to draw on a piece of wood, well, I could try drawing as a hobby, being trapped in this place is surely driving me insane!"
