Facing the ORC

Father: "So, should we depart now?"

Khush: "Yeah, we should, but father, until we reach the shop or the 1st house of the street, don't unclaim this house for safety."

Father: "Okay, let's leave now. Christine, please go scout ahead of us."

Father and I then depart and reach the first house of the street, but unlike other houses, it was closed from the outside.

Father: "Should I claim this house, or should we just cross the road and claim the shop?"

Khush: "Claim this house, we need it for our TLIOM initiative."

Father: "What's TLIOM?"

Khush: "'Take Life Instead of Money' initiative. You like the name, right?"

Father: "Right, right, let's just claim the house. Ability - property claim''

Khush: "You done?"

Father: "And done, should we go inside to take what we need or just get going?"

Khush: "Let's just get going, we've already wasted too much time."

After that, we cross the road and reach the shop.

Khush: "Finally, we are here, now let's break the locks and take what we need."

Father then puts the iron bar we brought and breaks the locks, yet the shutter didn't open.

Father: "Why isn't it opening? Did someone else claim it or something?"

Khush: "I don't think so, Dad. If that were the case, it would have attacked us by now."

Father: "Yeah, that's true. There isn't even a control lock on this shop. Why isn't it opening, then?''

Khush: "I think Uncle Sunil has put locks on the shutter from the inside too."

Father: "Oh, right, that could be the case. His shop is connected to his house. I think we need to clear his house before we can access the shop. Where's the entrance?"

Khush: "It's in the alleyway, right here."

They make their way to the main door of the house, and as expected, it's broken. But before they can claim the house, a fly lands on Khush's nose, indicating danger.

Khush: "Father, there are monsters nearby. Claim the house."

Father: "Oh, not again. I'm doing it. Ability - property claim!"

Khush: "Until then, let me just open the notebook.

Christine lan- ''

Before Khush can finish the sentence, a loud roar fills the area. Khush peers out of the alleyway to see 50+ goblins, 20+ hobgoblins, 10 orcs, which are commanded by a red orc.

Khush: "Oh, no! Dad, are you done? Let's get inside immediately. I just saw 80+ right now!" *says Khush, visibly scared and urgently *

Father: "It's done. Go inside."

Then a window appeared.

"Monsters detected, press 'attack' to attack them."Father: *presses the button *

Khush: "The goblins are falling like flies, but the problem is the orcs. They're just standing there, not doing anything. And the main red orc is sitting on his mount behind the orcs."

The red orc screams something in his language, causing all of the orcs to start charging at our houses. They easily overpower all 4 turrets of both of our houses. The turrets do reappear immediately, but it costs 0.1 mana to reappear and 0.01 mana for every shot fired. Dad only has a total of 5 mana. Because of this, they are now attacking the house and trying to break in.

Khush: "What should we do, Father? If this goes on, we will be killed."

Father: "I don't know. I am trying my best to recover my mana by eating food made by your mother."

Khush: "I have a plan. Try to upgrade your skill. You upgraded it halfway through to 'F+' last time. Check how many coins you would need to fully upgrade it."

Father: "Let me check, just a second. It will take 715 coins to upgrade it. Even if we sell all of the shards, we will only get 470. Where should we get the other 245 coins?"

Khush: "I have 300 coins from before, I will give it to you right now."

Father: "Okay, until then, I will sell all of the shards."

*SFX: Bang-bang-bang*

Khush: "OMG! Goblins are on the balcony!"

*SFX: Boom, splat*

Khush: "And it's dead, Father, faster!"

Father empties the bag containing all of the shards and sells it.

Father: "And done, my skill is upgraded to 'F+'."

And a window pops up

Congratulations, you have successfully upgraded your skill 'property claim' from 'F' to 'F+'.

As of the upgrade, now each of your properties will receive '+2' turrets, making it go from '4' to '6' turrets per house.

You can now also control 1 turret and fire custom shots that can fire bullets anywhere from 0.01 mana to 1 mana per bullet on any target you want.

Khush: ''Target the orcs Father, use double the power.''

Father :'' Okay, I command you turret, target the orcs, using double the fire power.''

*window pops up*

command input successful, eliminating orcs.

The urgency and tension escalate as Khush and Father combat the threat and make crucial decisions to improve their defended.
