I woke up with the worst headache that I had in my life and that was enough proof for me.

"I'm never drinking again no matter how sad I get."

I got up from the bed much slower than usual, feeling happy that at least I managed to get back to my own house and not someone else's.

I drank some water to hydrate myself and got out to feel the warmth of the sun wash over me.

"Good morning Trader, the festival was pretty good last night right?"

I looked towards the voice to see a witch that I recognized but didn't know the name.

"Yeah, it was fun but now I have to pay the price for that."

I massage my head to alleviate the headache.

"Yeah, why didn't you drink any milk yet? Or did you run out without realizing?"

"Why would I drink milk?"

There are no cereals in this world so I can't have that breakfast.

"What do you mean why? Hangover it's just a status effect, you can get rid of it in an instance with milk."

I was surprised by the sudden information and brought up my status page, and as I was told, I had a poison debuff.

It must've been pretty weak since my health didn't go down, but instead, this would keep up for another three hours.

"Thanks for the tip, I didn't know about it."

"No wonder you don't like alcohol, it must've been a nightmare to wait out the poison. Good luck with finding some milk!"

The strange witch then left after saying goodbye.

"Well, that was something."

I looked all over my house for any bucket of milk but no luck, I had to buy one, or maybe someone would give it to me if I asked nicely.

I thought about my options and quickly eliminated everyone until I arrived at Froggy.

"Well, I did promise myself to hang out with him more, even if he wants to stay here."

First I had a quick breakfast with golden carrots and then went on to Froggy's house.

Once I arrived I knocked at his door but no response, which meant he was still sleeping or that he was gone.

"One way to find out."

I opened the door and saw that Froggy was sleeping comfortably in his bed as I expected.

I gave a sigh but decided not to wake him, I didn't have a reason this time and it would be just plain rude if I did it just to ask him for some milk.

I looked through his chest and found out what I was looking for, and he had several buckets of those.

One empty bucket later I felt back to normal and ready for the day, but I didn't want to just leave like a thief so I left a note saying what I took and put it under a golden bar as payment.

"I'm sure he will be very confused when he wakes up."

I smiled imagining the reaction and then left his house.

"Time to get to work I guess."

But first I needed to do some preparations for that, so I went to buy some potions who as always were dirt cheap compared to anywhere else.

The fact that everyone here can make any potion made by the System probably helps.

With everything prepared, I went to action.

I arrived at my house where I drank a potion of invisibility, water breathing, and night vision once I was sure nobody was watching me.

Then I jumped into the swamp and stopped exactly under my house, then I swam down and started to dig three blocks down right beside a wooden pillar.

Once I was done I broke two blocks in the walls and quickly placed a door which made the water stop entering the new tunnel.

Now I could work in peace without the water bothering me, and the lights from the torches wouldn't give out the location.

I dug a little further then went straight down to the deepslate layer where I stopped.

Of course, I didn't forget to put stairs on the walls so I could get back up after this.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

At this level, I can make a base since miners don't tend to mine around here since it's annoying to keep mining two different blocks where one is harder than the other.

So I made an underground base six blocks tall and fifteen blocks wide on each side, the decoration was pretty simple by my standards, only stone bricks and wooden pillars.

Of course, I didn't forget to light this room up with some lanterns, and everything was done, now I only needed to connect it with the mine.

"Hey, are you here?"

Suddenly she appeared out of nowhere like I expected.

Looks like this base wasn't deep enough after all.

"I'll connect this to the mine, can you help me with the chests once again?"

The Enderwoman thought for a bit before saying no.

"Why?"

Then with her hand, she made one motion from one place to another but had a lot of sudden stops in the middle.

"Because I didn't bring the flying machine from the cave?"

She quickly nodded her head.

"Sorry about that, I still have some Redstone items in one of my chests I can make you another one. How about this, if you help me now and in the future, I'll make you a room only for yourself where you can use all the Redstone you want."

This made her think for a minute before accepting the deal, which made me happy.

I didn't have to transport the items once again.

With the deal made I started to break blocks towards the mine, remembering to make small rooms every one hundred blocks so my friend could teleport.

It took me a few good hours but I finally arrived at one of the mined tunnels, so I only had to find the main entrance.

After another half an hour, I arrived where I last placed the chests and broke the blocks, where to my relief was all in the same place.

"Ok, can you do it from here?"

The Enderwoman appeared, took a chest, and disappeared and half a minute later appeared with her hands empty.

That was good.

For the next hour everything was moved once again but this time I could sleep well at night without having to worry that someone would break into my secret storage and loot everything.

Of course, the new base wasn't the safest place either, but it was way better than being so close to the tunnel network.

Once everything was moved I covered the tunnel that I made with stone but left the big rooms in case the Enderwoman wanted to teleport to the mines quickly and undisturbed.

That took another hour to finish and I was already tired from all the work that I'd done for today.

"Thank you for the help Enderwoman, actually do you have a name that I can call you by, since calling you only this seems kind of bad."

She shook her head as no.

"Do you have a name in mind?"

She stood there for a minute and then pointed at me.

"You want me to find you a name?"

I saw a yes.

That wasn't good, I'm not that good with names, what can I call a tall purple monster?

"Violet! What do you think about Violet?"

That's close to purple and violent, I think that would suit her well.

She thought for a little before accepting my idea and I was happy and proud.

"Nice to meet you, Violet. Now I'm a little tired from all the work I've done today, tomorrow I promise that I'll make your room."

Violet seemed disappointed that she wouldn't get her room today but still nodded her head in understanding.

I claimed the long ladder and arrived at a wooden door, where I stopped.

"Claiming stairs is so hard, my hands are so sore right now, that's why elevators are superior!"

After a quick break, I held my breath and opened the door before quickly closing it behind me so the water wouldn't pass.

Now I was in murky water, but didn't have to swim a lot to get to the surface.

I quickly looked and nobody was around to see me, then I placed some stairs on the wooden piler and broke the wooden block on top.

I climbed the stairs and now I was in my house while nobody knew better.

Quickly I covered the newly made hole and went to wash over it.

I was going to do this often and I wasn't too excited about this anymore.

After everything was done, I ate something and got out to see if Froggy was awake.

The sun was slowly setting but there was still daylight. After searching around I finally found Froggy training with the others on the big grass patch of the Clan.

So I sat down and looked at them to entrain myself a little.

Ellen was yelling orders and different formations while everyone moved with practiced movements.

It was pretty impressive to see, similar to an army show in my old world but on a smaller scale.

After everyone was done I walked and greeted them.

"Awesome exercise guys! Anyone interested in some food?"

I then took some bread and cooked chicken out of my inventory to show it to them, which made me instantly popular.

The saying was right, after all, the best way to someone's heart is through their stomach.

"Thank you, Trader, what have you been doing today?"

"Ehh, nothing much, just preparing some stuff since I want to raise my Crafting skill. Is anyone interested in golden shovels?"

"You can craft with gold! That's pretty impressive, but sorry I don't think I can afford something so precious that would brake after two swings."

Everyone laughed at that joke as we all sat down to eat.

Froggy seems to enjoy the food and the company so that was good, keeping my promise.

The reason for telling them my high level in Crafting was for a few reasons, maybe someone would request me to make an item for them which would make me some connection if this spreads.

Another reason is that more people would know why I won't be walking in public for a few days since I will be too busy with my Crafting.

This way I'll be able to make a portal and gather some materials from there.

"I hope you'll get where you want, I don't know too many high-crafting recipes but I think Elder Rumba will be able to help you with that if needed."

Sara tried to encourage me, which I appreciated.

But I already have a path planned so I'm going to use that until the dimand level.

We kept talking like this for a few hours until everyone was tired and wanted to go home.

It was a nice break to have from working so much recently, while I wouldn't say I'm an introvert I do like to keep that kind of conversations special and not too often.

When I arrived home someone was already waiting for me there.

"Violet, why are you visible!"

I quickly looked in the windows to see if anything was passing and saw a four-block monster in my house, but luckily no one was there.

Her response was more aggressive than usual because she sounded like an angry Enderman.

And coming from her was much scarier to hear.

"Did something happen, did I do something wrong?"

She stopped screaming and looked at me with narrow eyes before teleporting out of my house.

"What was that all about?"

Confused I looked around the house to see what was the reason for her change of mood only to find everything as I left.

I waited for half an hour in case she got back, I tried to talk with the air in case she was here but invisible but that only made me look like a crazy person.

"Well if you can't talk about it, I can't help you! If you don't appear right now, I'll be going to sleep."

I waited for a few seconds and no change.

I've done what I could, I'm going to sleep.
