“Nina, what are you doing?!”

He stared at the girl—who had just stepped into his house—as she walked toward his bed, shedding one piece of clothing after another, dropping them to the floor. Finally, she stopped just before his bed, completely naked. Kwan couldn’t tear his gaze off her nude young body. Seeing her full breasts with erect nipples and the patch of soft pubic hair between her legs made him hard to the point of pain.

“Don’t tell me you don’t like what you see,” Nina said.

“I like you,” Kwan croaked. “I like you very much. But—”

“But what?” Nina asked as she crawled into his bed and began to pull down his pants.

Kwan got really nervous. “Nina, we can’t do it!”

The girl lay on top of him, her beautiful face two inches above his.

“Why not? Or you don’t want to do it?”

“No—I mean yes—I mean we probably shouldn’t—I mean—”

Nina planted a kiss on his lips, silencing him. He felt like he was melting when her wet tongue slid inside his mouth and met his.

Nina then pulled away from him and resumed pulling down his pants, exposing his erection. She straddled him, guiding him inside of her. Kwan gasped when she sank down, taking all of him. She moved slowly at first, gradually increasing her pace. Kwan felt he was reaching climax already.

“Nina, wait, I'm about to—”

“Not yet, lover, not yet, not yet,” she panted as she neared her own release.

She continued to ride him, her full breasts bouncing up and down, and then she gasped, “I love you, Kwan!”

“Nina, I can’t… I can’t…”

“Soon, lover, soon… Yes! Now! Go for it!”

They came simultaneously, Kwan exploding inside of her as her body fluttered uncontrollably with the power of her own ecstasy—

Kwan’s eyes snapped open. At first, he couldn’t understand where he was. Then as he fully woke up, he realized he was lying on his bed in his house. Sunlight was streaming in through the windows. He was alone. Kwan moved, wincing at the stickiness in his underwear. It’d been just a dream. Just another wet dream featuring Nina. Kwan sighed and got out of his bed. Another day had just begun.

Later on, Kwan, Michael, Nina, and Kirk gathered up at the center of their camp. During the last several days, they had built two more houses, one for Michael, and another for Kwan. They also chopped down some trees and built a tall fence made of sharp-tipped wooden stakes. They’d also built a few guard towers, which were even taller than the fence, from where they could watch the forest surrounding their houses. The perimeter of their camp was almost secured—they only needed to build one more wall and a gate. That was what they planned for today.

For the next several hours, the four of them were busy getting the wood. Since Michael was the strongest and Kirk was the most skillful at felling, it was the two of them who chopped down trees while Kwan and Nina moved the carts loaded with logs back to their camp. They didn’t talk much, mostly working in silence. In the first several days of meeting Nina and Kirk, Kwan tried to get to know the pretty girl a little bit better and even made an attempt to flirt with her. However, she hardly ever talked to him. She was always nice to him, but it was obvious that she wasn’t interested in getting involved in a romantic relationship with him. And the reason for that was that she was already in love with Kirk. Out of the four of them, there was only one person who for some reason seemed unaware of her feelings for him—Kirk himself.

In his wet dreams, it was always Nina who took the initiative, but the harsh reality was altogether different. Not only Nina wasn’t interested in flirting with him, but she hardly ever talked to him. When he tried to strike up a conversation with her, she gave one-word answers or simply smiled without saying anything at all.

When Nina and Kwan returned to Kirk and Michael after another trip to their camp, Kirk had just felled another tree. He didn’t bother to chop it into logs by hand. Instead, he paid a certain amount of gold to the system and it did the deed for him—the tree disappeared and in its place materialized a few delimbed perfect-looking logs as well as a bunch of sticks. Kirk pointed toward Michael who was swinging his ax at another tree, about to fell it too.

“That will be the last one, guys,” he said to Kwan and Nina. “I think we have enough wood now to finish the fence. So let’s wait for Michael to fell that tree and return to the camp together.”

Nina smiled, nodding happily, glad to be in Kirk’s company again. She walked so close to him, her ample chest pressed against his upper arm. Hoping his emotions weren’t showing on his face, Kwan turned away from them and turned his head to look at Michael instead.

The big fifty-year-old guy swung his ax powerfully at the trunk for the last time, and the tree began to fall. A couple of seconds later, it hit the ground with a thud. At the same time, Kwan thought he heard something else somewhere behind him. He looked over his shoulder but didn’t see anything suspicious. At least not at first, but a second later, he caught a glimpse of a movement to the side and turned his head to look that way. What he saw made his skin crawl.

One of the nearby oak-like trees was moving. It looked like it was transforming into something else, its branches creaking loudly.

“Guys, what the hell is that?”

His three friends turned to look in the direction Kwan was pointing. The large tree continued to change until it finally turned into some kind of humanoid creature with two powerful legs and arms. It then began to walk toward them, the ground shaking as it took one step after another. The four of them just stared, having never seen anything like that before.

“What should we do?” Kwan asked, glancing at Kirk who was the leader of their small group.

Nina held her hands out toward the tree golem, ready to use offensive magic on the monster as soon as Kirk said so. But he was silent, not sure what to do. The golem almost reached them, towering over the four people. It balled one of its hands into a fist and swung downward, aiming for Michael who was the closest to it. The big guy jumped aside, barely avoiding being smashed to a pulp as the huge fist hit the ground where he’d just stood.

Kirk finally made up his mind. “Attack!”

Nina launched a fireball at the tree golem, but it didn’t do any visible damage to it at all. Kirk and Kwan drew their swords, and Michael put huge brass knuckles on his hands. The four guys attacked the golem from different directions. The huge monster was slow, and the four of them had no trouble dodging its attacks. However, they couldn’t inflict any damage on the monster. Their weapons seemed to be totally ineffective against it. After a few minutes of fighting, Kirk gave a command to back off for a moment.

“What do we do?” Michael asked. “That thing seems to be unkillable.”

“Let’s get back to the camp,” Kirk said.

“What about the logs?”

“We’ll return for them later.”

Since the tree golem was slow, they had no trouble getting away from it. However, they had a feeling it was constantly following them. When they got back to the camp, Kwan climbed into one of the guard towers and looked over the pointed stakes of the fence toward the direction they’d come from. They had to make sure if they’d managed to give the golem the slip or if it was still following them.

A few minutes later, they got the answer when Kwan saw the golem step from the nearby trees and begin to walk toward their camp.

“Oh crap.”

He leaned over the wooden railing to look down at his friends standing near the guard tower.

“Guys, the golem’s coming! That freaking thing’s still honed in on us!”

His friends argued between themselves agitatedly. The seemingly invincible tree golem kept walking toward their camp, but they had no idea what to do.
