Chapter 4: Expansion with encounters

I closed the door and heard the wolves leave. I was content with what happened and consequences are damned for I am also hungry plus I am sure Yuki is also.

I set of to the dead sheep on the floor and started the gruesome task of a butcher which I hope won't be as bad as it seemed.

(To a lone woman close by)

'Hmm he seems pretty strong to take down one of Mutt's flea bags down so easily.' The same girl from last night thought to herself. 'I am sure she will come to settle down the problem with the human Nigel but I am sure she won't do a thing if he is mine.'

And with that evil thought she disappeared only to come back in a more appropriate time to begin her plan.

(Back to Nigel)

I felt a sudden chill up my spine and I know that feeling oh so well. Back in school I was a bit too popular with the girl.

Plus there was this one girl who was a bit too forward with me and the aftermath I had to get a restraining order.

The butcher task was not as bad as I thought for when I stabbed my blade is after cleaning it in the entire sheep popped and what was left were some clean cuts of mutton, Sheep hide and some bones.

I picked up the meat and placed it in the stone oven nearby and place some logs from a conveniently place log pile into the oven. I thought of what to light it with but the oven lit itself up so I don't have to.

I got up and thought of what to do with the bones and what to do next. I stored the bones into my bad and decided to continue reading the journal. Some of the entries I read were just some notes and there were few things that were useful but I came upon an entry that got my interest.

Entry: 23

I can hear them, the banging at the door. I knew something has change with the world. Before the mobs would just leave the door alone but now they are trying to break it down.

I knew I have to do something or the door would give away and I would be torn to shreds by the hoard. I dug under my bed and made a basement and my bed was the perfect cover for the entrance.

I replaced the dirt floor with wood and the walls with cobblestone and moved all the chests in so my gear and materials would be safe.

I would hide in the basement until sunrise where the mobs would burn to my surprise. But then again I am in a strange world made of block so I shouldn't be.

But things have gotten stranger because the mobs don't attack me on site anymore but they just watch me from the shadows or under the shade of trees.

Maybe the mobs don't seem as mindless as they seem maybe they have a leader that might know more about this world. I must find who this leader is and besides the skeletons staring at me near my home makes me nervous…

That was the end of the entry and it gave me some insight on my surroundings. I added two things into my list of chores one is to explore the basement for supplies and two clear the trees around my home to a safe distance.

Since Yuki is asleep on one half of the double bed I was able to move her without waking her to move the bed to go into the basement.

I had to climb down a ladder but it wasn't too far a fall. I stepped of the ladder and scanned the room.

The room is a mess like up top. Plus I am pretty sure he had more than just two chests but since he seemed paranoid enough to build a basement then maybe he went further but before I go back to check the book I cleaned the room first.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I have done cleaning the room. I stand back to see my work. There are some shelves and display cases near or on the walls.

In one corner were some book shelves with books that are blank or have incoherent and disturbing drawings.

Back to the room there was a large workbench with a few sketches and blueprint designs but I found one of a pickup truck. Not my favorite type of car but it has a large capacity and it is better than walking or running.

I found a note on the desk which said Note: Move the truck topside for faster supply trips.

I hope that the truck was around here and I saw a door that might lead to it but I will do it tomorrow. After the bench there were just two chests.

I was disappointed that there weren't many materials but I was happy to find a full tool set that was made of iron.

The other chest was a surprise. In it were cloths that are about my size. Inside are a few shirts and trousers, a pair of military boots, a fedora, a pair of black leather half gloves and a trench coat the reached all the way down to the ankles.

But what surprised me the most was a skull half face mask which looked very intimidating plus there is a pair of flame orange sunglasses that seem to go with the mask.

But before I can even touch them my glasses promptly absorbed them giving my glasses an orange tint with further protection from the sun.

I sign at my glasses but at least I don't have to carry multiple glasses on me when I have to change them for the occasion.

I was done with this section of the basement and now it is a storage room/study/workshop. I knew one thing is that I have to expand the home.

This place is way to cramp for just two people. I plan to build a study, a workshop, an armory and a garage as well as the standard home rooms like bed rooms to the kitchen to a bathroom.

I left the basement to do the next task which kills two birds with one stone. Clearing danger zones and gathers building materials.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I was so glad that I got the axe but even with the axe it still took a while to chop down all the trees too close to the cabin. But at least it will be worth it in the long run. Hell maybe I can build a sort of fence or wall with the left over wood.

I wiped the sweat of my head and I had to take of my top because it was so hot wearing a jacket and shirt.

Back at school this would have been eye candy to some girls but here I was glad I was alone…. Or at least I thought I was but I was sure I was safe when I am in the sun.

(To a group in a distance)

At a distance Nigel was being watched but not by normal mobs it is by humanized mobs. And most of the group were female and were drooling at the sight of Nigel topless from his six-pack abs to his strong biceps.

"I am not sure if we must report this to the princess or if we should keep him for ourselves. "One of mobs stated after wiping the drool from her mouth. The rest of the group nodded and hope they get some free time to sta … observe the human again. And maybe get some samples as well preferably his cloths.

And with that they left to report their findings with a rattle of bones and arrows.

(Back to Nigel)

I have carried all the blocks of wood and carry them to the house to begin construction of improving the base. But before I did I check the book I got for survival for a recipe on how to make fences. Six sticks in all bottom crafting slots of the crafting table to make two fences.

So I crafted a crafting table then made the sticks and made the wooden fences. I made enough to surround the area around the house and the area I plan to expand on in future times. Like a farm or garden for instance.

I finished the wall and to top it off I put torches around the place to keep it lit so I can work through night which took twice as long as day time as it said in the book. I set off to expand my new home.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dawn started to settle in after I finished the garage and the frame work of the second floor. Yuki woke up from the sound of the building of the second floor and she was found playing around chasing butterflies.

That put a smile on my face when seeing that. Even if she was in the body of a grown teen she was still a child at heart but at least she seemed to know what I want when I ask her to pass more wooden planks.

That reminds me to try teaching her how to speak English so I can understand her better because I can rely on her mumblings and barks when she tries talking to me.

I just started to build the roof after the stairs I heard a sudden yelp outside. I charged out with me sword drawn in my right hand with my blade in my left.

There was Yuki pinned down by a normal mob which looks like a spider but the noise it makes with its eight legs and many eyes gave it away. I was sure I could kill it easily but there was five more surrounding Yuki.

I screamed a battle cry when I took on the challenge and charge at the nearest spider and sliced off one of its limbs and stabbed a few of its eyes.

I expected blood but all I got was a hiss of pain before dying when I thrust my sword into its head.

This had got the attention of the other and they all charged at me but the one pinning Yuki held still as if watching to see if I fall to the group.

I killed the first one charging at me quite easy by using its charge at me to spear it when it leaped at me. The next two decided to double team me but they were coming at different angles.

One was in front and the other from behind. I simply ducked when they both leaped and they collided with each other. I stabbed both in the head when they were dazed from the collision.

The last one seemed much bigger than the others but I knew one thing. The bigger they are the harder they fall.

The spider was a bit slower than the other and I don't think it can turn so well with its size. I would have had some fun but there was no time.

So I ran behind it and jumped onto its back and started stabbing away but it hide also seem tougher as well so it was quite the rodeo when it was jumping around to get me off.

Luckily my left hand was holding on to whatever keeps from falling off the damn thing.

My sword finally pierced through its armor and the spider started shrieking in pain until it stopped jumping around and fell down into a heap on the ground.

It was now dead. I got up and looked towards Yuki only to see she was running up to me with tears in her eyes.

I hugged Yuki while she balled her eyes out onto my chest which I realized I was I was still topless and she was also feeling me up. I blushed at the contact but I whisper some soothing words to her when she then fell asleep.

I picked her up bridal style and placed her in bed then I walked up stairs to finish the rest of to house but I was wondering one thing. 'What happened to the last spider?'

(To the said spider)

"I can't believe it, he kill my entire group." Hiss the spider. H was scuttling away after seeing the massacre of his brothers. It kept on until it will get to his destination. "I must report this to princess Silk."

(Back at home)

Nigel signed at the thought hoping that his won't bring anything bad to his door step. But he knew that it was a slim chance that there will be no trouble at all. But think about it was no use so I shook it out off my thoughts and focused on the task at hand, which is building my private study.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dawn was rising and the house is finished. There are now an attic, three bedrooms with their own toilets, and a study on the second floor.

And a living room, kitchen, dining room and a small training room to practice many skills like archery to swordsmanship on the first floor. Plus a proper basement entrance to boot.

Outside was a porch waiting to be filled, a garage next to the house and two small areas reserved for a farm and a garden.

At the end of all that I marked which room was which and made sure the house looked nice with a nice combination of logs, wooden planks and cobble stone that was in a chest.

I was dead tired from all that work and I moaned at the prospect of tomorrow when I have to make furniture for the entire house.

I went to my room and used the wood and wool from the sheep to make a large double bed. I ate some leftover mutton then lied down and drifted off to blissful sleep.

But even on the second floor he was still being watched and it was the group of humanized mobs from before but has grown in number. "I swear he kill five spiders by himself." One of them yells to the new members of the group.

They were watching him the entire night as well as the fight. Even if the skeletons were friends of the spider this has only boosted Nigel's desirability among them.

It's pretty much possible for Nigel from now on to keep one eye open as he sleeps to try avoiding the possibility of potential kidnapping.

And that's the end of this chapter and this is longer than the last chapter. Please send your reviews and anything you want me to add in the story like a new character because god know I can't just use Najee' s character otherwise it won't seem anymore unoriginal as it already is. The next chapter is coming soon. N 90 out
