《Barter System (or BS like BullSh*it)》chapter 3: shelter

SP : 32'564
leaving behind my past I turned to the path ahead; my future, a new resolve ignited in me as I step into the dangerous underworld, I had no destination in sight, but there are a few objectives to accomplish for now,
the first thing to do is to find shelter and then food, I had 32'564 points for now which will be helpful enough if I use them in a smart way, unlike the other dark elve males, I was different, I wasn't indoctrinated into thinking that I was inferior to females, instead, I had a smart head over my shoulders thanks to my past life knowledge,
once I was away from the fighting and killing, I started picking up the pace, even if it created an anomaly around me as the cloak didn't adapt fast enough to the environment, but I didn't have the luxury of taking my time, the underworld is dangerous and creatures here don't rely only on vision, even I had some kind of night vision and could see with minimum light.
the journey was long and tiring for my untrained body I was already feeling exhausted from the trek, thirst and hunger started to settle in, my body is in that stage where food is of the essence as it enters a rapid growth period, so I get hungry easily,
I have walked for a long time now and didn't come across any creatures, I like to believe that they are just afraid from the battle going on a few tunnels ahead rather than me being stalked by whatever creatures living here.

I think I have walked far enough and as you can see I wasn't eaten on the way, I am currently sitting against a wall munching on a plant I checked with the system, it looks like an onion but tastes bitter, it is worth 30 points in the system and is edible, it is also very rich in water almost like a watermelon, its name is weird so I will not mention it.

until now I didn't meet any large creature except for some critter, it looks like rats with a short tail and no eyes, I tried attacking one for meat but they are very fast.
I decided to make this place my home for now, though I don't think staying in the open is ok, so I thought of a solution and the system comes to the rescue, I remember a game in my previous life where the world is made of blocks, and the player could dig with his tools blocks from anything in that world, I believe it was called Minecroft,
I was inspired by that game so I looked in the system if I can find something similar, and I did in fact, it was a G2 item for the poorest tools, the wooden ones, they are low-grade magical items worth 3'000 points the highest, it was only G2 because of its limited use otherwise it would have been higher.
ITEM : wooden pickaxe PRICE : 3000 points Description : a low-grade magical tool used in mining, to use; hit spot for 10 times to dig 50x50x50 cm block of material, can dig 30 blocks of rock before breaking
thankfully there is a search bar in the system and custom filters, otherwise, I will never find what I want, guess the upside to not having an AI interacting with me, or some status screen, you know the usual system stuff instead of just the store, I can buy anything even superpowers so I am not complaining a lot,
after having my meal I started working on the wall behind me, 10 hits= 1 block of rock, when I mined the first block of rock, it shrank and floated in the spot where it was before just like the game, it was magical, to say the least, I didn't know how it works but it did,

I took the small block the size of my palm and tossed it on the ground, but it remained floating 5cm over the ground, also, the weight wasn't what you would expect from it, getting curious I walked to the block and then pushed it to the ground, and that is when the magic broke and the cube expanded to the original size, not only that but it fused with the ground as if it was part of it.
with the new discovery I had more ideas on how to use this magic tool, building structures will become way easier with it, not to mention mining that is made so much easier, so with no further delay, I continued to work on my shelter.
.
.
.
a few hours later and 4 pickaxes I made myself a room 3x3x2.5 meters, I left some blocks to act as a bed, some others as a table and chair and then removed some from the walls to act as shelves, and that boys and girls how you make a room in a few hours

Inherit
Our protagonist finds himself placed in an unfamilar world; his highly magical studies are put to the test as he tries to integrate into a different, but still magical, universe. This story is not particularly heavy, and may, at times, feel somewhat whimsical. This is intended. If you're looking for a nice trip along with a man whose abilities don't entirely fit into his new home, be sure to give Inherit a try. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge!]

Peerless Hegemon
Warning: Can be quite tearjerking and depressing (or so others say). If you are weak to that and hates that kind of thing, then this story is not for you === Ye Feng lived two lives in one lifetime. First, he basked in the light of Righteousness, becoming an idol of peace and justice. Second, he trod the mired path of the Darkest Path, becoming an object of fear and death. One lifetime, Two Identities, countless experiences, still without purpose. A meaningless existence. An empty husk. In his selfishness of wanting to fill the void in him, he became the catalyst that destroyed Reality. He now controlled everything, ultimate power, uncontestable by none. But he cast it away, to be reborn anew. With a new name and a family, his goal was to understand, his place. To understand how to no longer feel empty. With his family consisting of a Reincarnated Twin Sister and Parents with inscrutable pasts, his desire was not that of grandeur. In this lifetime, he wishes not to hold power, not to gain eternal life, nor control of everything, he only wishes to live, and hopefully look at sunrise with a smile on his face. === Disclaimer: The story focuses on the Main Character’s emotional and personality growth. He is someone who is, obviously OP in some perspectives but almost crippled in others. He is not soft and does not spare anyone because it is “Bad” so expect that there would be genocide and some bloody encounters. I want this instead of just the MC’s search for life and its complication. Where Philosophy and values exist. A story where every action has proper consequences, and not everything can be conquered with a single punch (unless it can be, no need for an unnecessary complication if it can be avoided). Further Notes: This is a story that will gradually increase in word counts and become Chunkier as it progresses and will almost never be below 2000 words, but if the word count will only lengthen the chapter at the expense of a finished tale, it could and would be cut off before 2000 mark), give it a try, it won’t disappoint (I hope). And if by chance that you like it, giving a good Rating and Review will be encouraging to me and possible readers. Schedule: Monday and Friday If you want to read ahead and/or support me to creating this story, you can do it through my Patreon (link below the next chapter button.)
