Surprise

Amidst the normal rewards of meat and skin, there were two extra things, an energy stone and an egg with a copper color like monkey fur. Removing the egg from his inventory, he focused his gaze on it to get more information and try to figure out what it was for, or why it was given as a reward just for that body.

[Pet Egg]

[Race: Monkey]

[An egg created by a mother desperate to save her baby that was still in her womb. Using her soul power, she created this egg so that her hatchling could survive even after her death. Use a drop of blood to make a contract with this mascot, using an energy stone, your egg will hatch. After the contract, the pet will become completely loyal to the master and will be able to awaken abilities.]

"That must have been why Bones approached, he thought the cub might come out and attack me once the mother's body fell apart." Theo thought.

He didn't know how to proceed at that moment, despite the description saying that after the contract he would be completely loyal, Theo was afraid that he might have received memories of his mother and hated the skeletons. This would be a problem since they would have to live in the same camp every day, so he decided to finish everything he needed to do that day before thinking about it.

He ordered the skeletons to return to cutting down trees, but not to give aid to the zombie. This was part of the tests he was carrying out, if they gave good results, he could even sell this information for resources or other information.

After this command, he decided to take the day off, as this would be the last, completely safe day he would have for some time. He, of course, didn't forget to collect the trees, assemble the packages and put them up for sale, but that was the quiet part of his tasks. He also took some breaks in his relaxation in the sun to build parts of the wall, so he quickly spent half the day. Building the last part of the wall, which was the one that was in the front part of the land he had chosen. He would have to improvise a gate for two days before he could build the one he wanted.

Theo called Amethyst and sent her to search the forest again for more goblins, as in his analysis they would give more energy stones, which was what he wanted to get today. She made a quick bow and left, returning a few hours later with news that she had found another goblin village a kilometer to the southeast.

"Bring 15 of them alive and make sure they don't make unnecessary noise so as not to attract unwanted attention. Bring everything you find, from food to resources, search every corner and see if you haven't hidden anything in the ground." Theo gave the orders and sent everyone except his zombie, who was now eating a raw steak near the mausoleum.

It was for him that Theo ordered the goblins to be brought alive, as he would make him kill them with the ax until he leveled up. To complete your first research project in this world, about skills and how to get them.

Theo ate dinner and waited up for his skeletons to return, he had completed a simple wooden gate and installed it in the gap in the wall. He had also entered the chats only to see that more people had died and many of the players were just complaining about wanting to go home to Earth.

When it was eleven o'clock at night, the system sent a Worldwide Announcement in both chats, warning players to prepare themselves as the barrier would disappear within an hour. It was at that exact moment that the skeletons returned, Amethyst apologized for the delay, but explained that she had to make the goblins move in order to bring everyone he had asked for.

He no longer looked at the battle notifications, as they came in excess and took away some joy of seeing his units return victorious. The expectation of not being sure of victory made him excited, it was like cheering at a football game.

Ordering his zombie to kill all the goblins with the axe, he left the bloody scene that would follow and began collecting the slowly arriving corpses. At the end of the bodies killed by the skeletons he got exactly 49 stones, one missing completing the mausoleum upgrade goal, so he approached where the zombie had killed its prisoners.

Collecting these bodies, he got 5 more stones and smiled, happy at completing the goal, but it was not time to celebrate. He ran to the mausoleum and upon seeing the notifications he thought about the update and when asked, he readily agreed to use the stones.

A bright light enveloped the entire mausoleum and Theo could no longer see it, it stayed like that for about 10 minutes and then when the light disappeared, and he could see again, his expression was one of complete shock. The mausoleum was now bigger and more beautiful, with pieces of black marble in several parts. It also had a statue on its roof showing a skeleton with a tunic and hood holding a scythe that was his size with a curved blade that shone slightly in the sunlight moon. It was a representation of Death.

When Theo decided to view information from him, a notification interrupted him.

[World Announcement]

[Congratulations to player **** for being the first player to upgrade his Military Building.]

[A reward will be given to the player.]

As soon as he finished reading the announcement, a chest fell at his feet, and he quickly put it into his inventory. At that moment, the golden light of the barrier disappeared, and he could hear many howls and roars of different animals sounding in the forest, making his entire body shiver.

He wanted to run to his house to hide, but he decided instead to go and look at the information on the mausoleum.
