Chapter 53
(Juri's view!)
After taking possession of the village, what I did next was quite simple, I started the construction of the main structures!
Unlike the forest, here in the desert the production was different.
There is no way for me to collect stone or ores, so the [Quarry] or [Mining] are unavailable.
But you have the [Clay Mine] construction, which replaces the stone, so to speak.
The good thing is that it has the [Lumber Mill], which I built as soon as possible, but it only has room for 1, something quite unfortunate.
The good thing is that nearby there is a [Salt Mine], I can build it, so I did.
With 3 [Clay Mines] built, I let it produce enough, while I brought food from reality to my new territory.
With this food I fed everyone, slowly those who were unconscious woke up and without suspense, they submitted to me.
I didn't do much, as I was waiting patiently, until the Wood, Clay and Salt began to produce in decent quantities.
Then I started sending people to work there and speed up production.
Along came the [Farms], I built 3, the limit possible due to space, as for the [Warehouses], 5 were built.
[Territory: Lamia Village]
Level: 1 (0 / 1,000,000)
Faction: Storm Clan
Buildings: [Faction Mansion(Level 1)], [1x Barracks(Level 1)], [1x Timber(Level 1)], [3x Clay Mine(Level 1)], [3x Salt Mine(Level 1)], [5x Warehouse(Level 1)], [5x Silos(Level 1)], [3x Farm(Level 1)]
Resources: [Wood: 280 / 5,000], [Clay: 440 / 5,000], [Salt: 500 / 5,000], [Grain: 80 / 5,000], [Meat: 23]
These are the basis of the Territory information, due to the lack of [Construction Projects] as well as certain materials, there is not much I can do.
Not to mention that I focused on developing the village while fixing it up, since the houses are pretty messy, so I moved many of them around and fixed others.
And with the construction of the barracks, 25 Lamias have joined together and become [Soldiers], these are the 25 survivors who are good in combat, Lukaria among them.
I'm not very good at reading people's expression or humor, but I know that there is still a lot of fear, even though many children look very happy, but in the end they are too innocent.
But in time that will change, I know that!
...
"Mistress!" - Said Lukaria with slightly tanned skin, coming up to me.
Lukaria has been training a lot in the barracks lately, as well as helping the children train.
I nodded and hinted into the space in front of me, where she went and sat on her tail.
"How's the training going?" - I ask quietly.
"It's going well, the food the Master has made available is helping everyone!" - Lukaria said smiling.
I don't know if the smile is fake or not, but I don't think too much and speak. - "That's good-"
I stop talking when Lukaria raises her fangs and I react, not to Lukaria but to the one next to me.
I hold the wrist of the child Lamia, who is wielding a dagger, I see the hatred in those eyes.
That shook me, but I understand, I killed his parents!
"Die! Die! Die!" - The child shouts shrilly as she punches me with her other hand, I hold her back, Lukaria desperate approaching, but I stop her with a look.
I soon pull the child and throw it towards Lukaria, who goes to hold it, but I say. - "Don't hold it!"
Lukaria obeys, the child stands up, looking with a certain disdain at Lukaria, before running towards me, leaping towards me.
I nimbly hold her in mid-air, her tail wraps around my waist and squeezes me, but lacks strength.
I hold her, as she screams and struggles, so I continue, until she stops struggling, I hear her sobs.
I let out a long sigh, then ask. - "Do you want to kill me?"
"YES!" - She screams amidst her crying.
"Ok, then we'll do it like this, get strong, stronger than Lukaria, then come kill me!" - I say and soon release her, she falls to the ground, but I take care that she doesn't hurt herself.
"If you hate me, blame yourself, your parents and your Clan for being weak and losing to a human who is alone!
Blame yourself for being weak, now turn your hatred and come kill me when you are strong in the future, I will wait!" - I say as I look at Lukaria.
Lukaria nods and comes to pick up the young girl.
"Lukaria, train her, she is someone brave!" - I say, Lukaria nods and takes the young girl.
I lie partially on my chair, looking up at the ceiling and sighing.
Many Lamias look at me with anger, hatred and fear, I killed their loved ones, it gives me a horrible feeling in my heart, but in the end, it happened!
Laughing bitterly, I look at something important, Juriak's loot!
[Scimitar of the Matriarch of Death(Epic)]
Scimitar belonging to the Matriarch of the Lamia, Juriak, a powerful and beautiful Lamia warrior, who knew the occult and an Entity she sees as God, so she made sacrifices, one of them being her beauty, which brought her immense power and her weapon that has long accompanied her, was strengthened along with it!
+50% Physical Damage!
50% of the damage done is considered Negative (Death)!
30% of the damage done is considered Magic!
+20% Attack Speed!
+100 Agility!
+50 Strength!
+50 Intelligence!
+200 Negative Energy!
Skill: [Death Slime] and [Moon Slash]
An Epic Scimitar, a decent weapon I can use, not to mention that it is both Magical and Paranormal, so it has lost its damaging effects to the bearer, at least the passive ones!
As for the Assets, which are the Abilities, we have the [Sludge of Death], that to be used, the bearer must cut himself and from the wound, black and deadly sludge will appear, covering the Scimitar's blade and amplifying its effects!
But besides his weapon, another thing that fell was a black egg!
[Juriak's Egg(Epic): Lamias don't normally hatch from eggs, but Juriak made deals and modified herself, almost turning into something other than a lamia, thus becoming an oviparous!
This egg contains the corrupted offspring of the Death Entity, of Juriak, the Lamia Matriarch!
What comes out of this egg is mysterious and it is calculated that its Level will break the barriers imposed by the Dungeon!]
I frowned at this, initially I thought it was Juriak, but the egg is hers, it doesn't mean it is her.
Whatever is inside will certainly be Paranormal, it could be a Black Blade, it could be a Skeleton Snake, and many other things.
The egg is the size of a human head, what comes out will be small, but will certainly grow a lot.
And the System gave me a method to hatch the egg, to put it next to a lot of blood, meat and especially bones!
It even told me to use the scimitar to mutilate myself or other creatures, pour slime over the egg and materials.
In other words, I would be doing some sort of Ritual to summon some creature, I guess the egg is just appearance.
Not to mention that the egg is also a material, I can use it for a ritual with the Death Entity, she should like that a lot and will give me interesting things.
But again, I don't want to get involved with the Entities, I didn't like what I read about them at all.
Suddenly I thought of Flavia... I think at this moment she must be doing the order mission, I hope she is well...
Sighing, I keep the egg in [Inventory], I don't know what to do with it.
But besides those 2 Epic Items, I have a Rare/Epic potion, that can either fuck me up big time or benefit me!
[Potion of Death(Rare/Epic): Potion containing great magical vitality, along with the Paranormal Element "Death"! Ingesting this potion will bring random benefits and harm, from a +50~100 increase in Intelligence and Wisdom, to a 1~100 decrease in Physical Attributes, one can also lose 10~20 Years of life...]
There are many good and bad things that can occur, it all depends on my luck!
I have 549 Luck, I trust it, but in the end, both good and bad effects can occur.
1~100 reduced physical attributes, that's fucking bad!
I hesitated a lot whether I should take it or not, but if it goes bad, I might just live to die, then start over.
Maybe if it was my first time living, I wouldn't take this potion, ever!
But since it's my 2nd time and I can restart this as many...damn, I can save this exact moment!
Smiling I do it, then take the potion!
A horrible taste, it seems that I am taking something rotten and bitter, I almost vomit, but something stops me from vomiting!
In the end all the potion is in my stomach, where it spreads everywhere and I feel a sharp pain!
Then the notifications come in!
[-15 Years of Life!]
[-38% Left Arm Sensitivity!]
[-13 Strength!]
[-35 Constitution!]
[-3 Cm of penis!]
...
Without hesitation I return, needless to say I lost too much on this shit!
I soon find myself looking at the potion again, I take a deep breath and swallow it!
[-20 Years of Life!]
[-85% Neck Sensitivity!]
[-50 Strength!]
[+84 Intelligence!]
[+94 Wisdom!]
[Skill "Death Breath" has been acquired!]
Curious I see the Skill as I feel weaker and touch my neck, where the sensation is quite strange.
[Blow of Death, Lv.Max]
Type: Active & Passive
Description: The Breath of Death, a Negative ability of the Element Death, which intends to force the aging of other living beings, while sucking their vitality!
Effect(Passive): Kissing any living thing will steal its vitality!
Effect(Active): Costs 5 NE p/second, blow and suck the target's vitality!
Ok, go back!
I don't want this Skill, why would I stop kissing people? I love kissing and sucking a pussy!
Right back I look at the potion, sighing I proceed!
…
It took exactly 38 tries before I was satisfied!
[Critical Success!]
[+50 Strength, Agility and Constitution!]
[+75 Intelligence!]
[+68 Wisdom!]
[+100 Sanity!]
[Skill "Black Heart" has been acquired!]
Only good things, it may sound cliché, but this is due to my Luck finally showing up and playing a very big role!
But that was after 38 tries, my biggest pain was the pain I felt, along with the horrible taste of this potion!
But in return, I got this Skill:
[Black Heart, Medium Level]
Type: Special
Description: The "Black Heart", also known as the "Negative Core" of all Paranormal Creatures, which expands their Negative Energy limits!
Effect: +20% Negative Energy & -20% Sanity Damage & 3 → 5 Attributes per Paranormal Exposure Level!
Special Effect: +200% Affinity with the Entity/Death Element!
Now that's a fucking good thing!
Smiling, I look at the 198 Attribute Points I received, think a bit, where I notice that the Luck Attribute Level, which was 51, went to 69!
Man, that must have given a lot of XP for the Attribute, thank you very much!
But now, back to the 198 Attribute Points, I think before I throw everything into Wisdom!
This will increase the recovery speed of my MP and NE.
With that done, I think the speed of leveling up some Skills will increase, since Wisdom greatly influences my understanding of things.
But well, that's it for now, I need to adapt and get this horrible taste out of my mouth!
