----------------------------------------
It was a beautiful morning.
The sun shined brightly, yet it wasnt hot due to the residual cold from the winter.
Ther perfect day to take a walk.
-ARRRRG! FUCKING HELL! MY BODY IS FUCKING WEEK!
Or to train…
-Tw-Twenty!!
/Ploft!/
-Harf… Harf… Come on!
Today started like the previous day.
I ate the bland food prepared by old Ria and gave my orders to Richard, who in turn, passed the order to the villagers.
After he said that, I went to the village tab and gave my own orders.
-Thankfully, I can track everyone’s movements through the village tab. So I always know when to give orders…
Although this made for some awkward revelations… Like when I saw one of the villagers in a house of another women… Alone.
Even though he had a wife.
And he was in the safe room as another girl…
Very close to her…
I don't know how long he will be able to maintain such a relationship though since the village is small.
-After giving my orders I immediately came here to train and take a shower.
And I have stayed here since then.
-According to the clock its 12:00. The Warehouse should be almost finished by now.
[10 minutes 25 seconds...]
Yup, almost there.
-I already trained a lot, but I can't stop. Should I train with a stick? Like uh… Spearmanship?
Although we don't have spears, it is better than nothing.
Unless if you consider the rusty shit I had back in my inventory...
-I will need to set a smith as soon as possible, let our Tier-0 do something.
I tried getting up but...
-Urg! My whole body is sore!
Damn this twig of a body! At least I am tall…
(He is 188 Cm tall. Yes, he is very tall)
'I jumped into the river to cool down a little than sat near the bonfire'
‘While I dried my body by staying near a bonfire, Richard came from the side’
-Excuse-me Elder.
-Richard? What do you need?
-I just came to bring you your food and some medicine.
-Oh! Thank you but you didn't need to…
-Don't even finish. I don't have anything to do! By doing this I can at the very least help you recover a little.
-... Thank you, I will eat the food and use the medicine.
-Good, rest for around 2 hours then you should be ready to restart training if you wish.
-...
That's the only thing I can do right now that isn't dangerous.
Exploring the houses is dangerous alright. If I am bitten by anything poisonous I might die…
This morning I found a spider the size of my hand crawling on the walls. I was lucky and hit it with a metal cane.
Richard later transformed it into medicine for me, although I wasn't too keen on consuming something made out from a spider…
-How is the construction going?

-Its doing well! When I passed there to grab your meal in the Food station I noticed their progress, and I must say, they are truly motivated. I never saw them working so fast and efficiently in my whole life! I didn't even know Humans could be that fast HOHOHO!
‘I placed my hands on the back of my head and though:’
Well… Normal Humans probably can't…
-Richard, what do you know about the Tier system?
-Hum? What an odd question… This is a word I haven't heard since the times of…
-Well, the only thing I know is that this is the main classification system used in the capital… I got this information when I was just a young man over 40 years ago.
How do you still remember this then?
-Ever since then we rarely used this term. But I always knew that I was at most a Tier-1,2 Doctor…
-And why couldn't you increase your Tier?
-It isn't as easy as you think… For a Doctor like me, I need to be able to concoct a special medicine with at least 70% success rate. But I barely have a 10% rate.
-When I was younger I once reached 60% rate, I used to consider myself a Tier-3 Doctor but I was quite lacking to be considered one when I think about it.
-Do you know what's above that?
-Unfortunately no, such information can only be learned in more developed areas… Its quite difficult to get it in these parts. But we need it if we want to develop.
-You are right, Elder… But that is for the future, we are still a long way from needing such information.
-I will take my leave for now, you may continue your training.
-See ya later Richard.
‘He bowed and left’
I still can't get used to being called Elder and to people being so respectful to me…
/Chomp.../
-This is just as bland… But this is already enough, if Ria could make good food with the supplies she had, she would be a priest and not a cook.
Only a miracle to transform this into something delicious.
[Warehouse, Tier-0 has been repaired]
Finally...
[DING]
[A Warehouse has been detected, linking Village storage...]
[Link successful]
The what now?
-... linking Village storage… What is this all about?
Does this mean that…
‘I opened the inventory and clicked one of the items in it’
[Deposit on the Warehouse?]
-... No.
If this is what I think it is… Then all of my problems can be easily resolved…
-I only need to order some people around…
…
/Several hours later/
It was late at night, the villagers were now eating at some tables near the fixed Warehouse.
-The Warehouse looks pretty clean right?
-Yeah! Hurgus and the boys worked hard for almost half a day to make it look like this.
-They need to rest from time to time, overworking will not do them any good.
-I already told them that, but they were just like the twins who were fixing the roads. They just didn't want to stop.
-I think they are just excited that things have finally started to look good again. Look! If you look at this street, doesn't it look as if we went back a few decades ago?
‘Both of them looked at the now clean road with intact houses on both sides, ending in the Elder’s house’
-Perhaps things are finally starting to go our way?
-Yeah… But did you hear it?
-Hear what?
-The strange events happening in the Crop field.
-Did something happen to the Crops?! Please men! Things were finally getting better!
-Its not like that! It seems that the Crops are growing super fast!
-Phew! Don't scare me like this you bastard! If the Crops are fine, why should I care about how fast they grow?! Much less when they are growing faster than expected!
-I know. It's just that… I heard it might be magic.
-PFFFT!
‘The other villager spilt his food’
-Dont talk shit Ryan! Did you stay away from the forge for so long that your head got numb?
-Fuck you too Oesa! How long has it been since you actually got something with your old bow?
-You know that the bow is ruined! Thankfully one of the villagers had one left… I just didn't have the time to go hunting. I am quite rusty after all.
-In any case, stop spouting pigshit. We are starting to recover, and we don't need any rumors circulating. It would be too sad to see the other lose motivation because of some words.
-You are right, no matter what is happening, we were better than before. I believe in this Elder, at the very least, staying with him is better than starving. If I hear anyone running their mouth, I will do my best to stop them…
-Hum? What is Richard doing over there?
‘The two turned around to see Richard placing a sign in front of the Warehouse’
-Can you read it from here Oesa?
-It might have been some time since I hunted for something but my vision is still good!
-... It says… No entry… Only… Authorised… Personnel?
-What? Did you read it right?
-There are still some smaller words… Request… For permission… With the... Elder.
-... Looks like the Elder has blocked access to the Warehouse and we need to talk with him if we want to enter.
-But why would the Elder do that Ryan?
-I can think of many reasons, perhaps he wants to make sure no one runs her hand if you know what I mean.
-But we know everyone! Who would be dumb enough to do such a thing? And what are you going to steal? Food? Something we get two times a day?
-I don't know Oesa, the Elder must have his plans, we just need to support him for now. I heard from Richard that the Elder is planning on reopening the Smith and the Hunter’s hut. If we are lucky we might get some serious work pretty soon.
-Oh? Really? Looks like I need to start making some arrows and traps… Perhaps we can have some meat to eat soon.
-That will depend on you and that's the problem.
-YOU!
‘They started a light fight, they lightly hit each other while the other around them laughed’
The village was slowly recovering its spirit.
