all in due time

The hunters after returning from their trip now new that not every hunt was spectacular like the dungeon boss. This one was boring for most people. Jack decided to go on a mammoth hunt the next day with a small team of 20 people.

Aron was now working out with Jessica and the farmers how much room they would give the horses. The settlement now almost looked as a small village it was just missing a few things.

They found one of their first big hurdle they if the information Kiara remembered from earth a horse needed 0.8 hectare per horse so we need 41 hectares = 410.000 square meter that is a lot of fencing to do. Lucky we have a lot of wood due to our pathway we made.

Jessica: we can make a smaller enclosure for now and in due time we will make the full fencing for the horses.

Aron: your right, but at least build some stables as well.

Jessica: now that is sorted we need a way to make glass for windows and perhaps a glass to drink from.

Aron: what I remember we need silica, sodium and iron oxide. And then a fire of 2300 degrees to melt it. We can't do this now but perhaps in due time as you said before.

Jessica: funny, hhmmmp. Perhaps I need to find a new brother.

Jim and Mona hearing this looked at each other with guilty faces. Aron and Jessica both missed this.

Aron: Let's go for slow and steady like I told you before. Just two weeks ago we had only wooden structures and now we are working with stone.

Jessica: I know, speaking of that we have a lot of woodworkers but we don't need as many anymore. Do you know if we can change classes?

Aron: I don't know, but one of our parents might know. Am I right dad?

Jim: you're right, but it's not without penalty. For example if you're level 10 you go back to level 5. That is what we know, we don't know what happens if you're level 20.

Jessica: So it is worth it for levels under the 10. I guess for higher levels time will tell if someone is willing to try it.

Aron: all in due time I guess.

Jim couldn't hold it anymore and started laughing his heart out. Mona and Jessica just couldn't believe that Aron who was serious most of the time started joking like Jim.

Mona: This is bad, what is happening with Aron? Jessica, we are going in the spacecraft tonight to do an MRI and perhaps some other scans.

Aron: why do you think something is wrong with me?

Jessica: You seem not yourself at the moment. Let's just do some tests tonight.

Aron agreed to do the tests, it was just an MRI nothing special if they would be on earth. Now they would use some backup energy that was left.

Jim: Oke if you want to do the test, but just know we need to find a way to charge the craft if we need to use more equipment then the MRI.

Aron: That shouldn't be to hard with our knowledge. Just need to create a turbine for wind or water.

Jim: Don't worry about that for now. Let's scan you tonight.

That night Jim, Mona, Jessica and Aron did go down a hatch in their house and entered the spacecraft. After arriving at the medical centre, Aron took place at the bed. Then Jim started the MRI.

[Why are you doing?]

Jim: Hmm a system message on the screen where the images of the scan should be.

[Again what are you doing?]

Jim: Scanning Aron for something that might pose a threat to him in his head.

[And you think I couldn't do that? You installed me remember! Just turn off that thing.]

Jim: Oke system but you better explain yourself and why did Aron change in the last few days.

[I will, just make sure you put the sensors on Aron's brain like you did at the surgeries.]

Jim just couldn't believe he was talking with Aron's system. It should be impossible to talk with someone else's system and now he was doing it with Aron's system. Stoping the MRI and just putting up several sensors on Aron, before connecting it to a computer.

Aron: What is wrong you all look like you saw a ghost.

[I'm not a ghost.]

Aron: I know you're a system. WHAT, a system that isn't in someone's head how?

[Simple I'm your system and this idiot tried to destroy my progress before I was fully connected]

Jim: What do you mean with that?

[My host and a few other hosts have more potential. Like.. never mind I will send a message to your system. The time has not arrived.]

Aron: Just tell me about my full potential, I will wait for you when you can explain yourself system and dad.

[OK, your body was and still is young. Probably you didn't notice the changes in your age?]

Aron: What about my age it's buggy as hell.

[No it isn't, your becoming immortal like princess over there.]

Jessica: Me immortal, I thought that was a system joke.

[Systems don't joke normally. We help our hosts to survive as long as possible. Speaking of that...]

[New family quest, fix Aron's system. Feed Aron 2.000 level 1 heart crystals.]

Aron: Can you consume the crystals, that is interesting.

[Yes, you can but only upgradable systems can so you're lucky again.]

Jim: So no more MRI's on anyone, how do we find out if someone has something like a concussion?

[The system will tell the user what to do or how to seek out help.]

Mona: That is good to know. One thing I would like to know is, are our kids safe?

[All in due time]

Jessica: How funny. So we need Aron to eat 2000 level 1 heart crystals. Luck would have it we have over 2200 of them.

Mona: Time to start eating Aron.

Aron: Sure I will try one today see if I don't have any side effects. I love the systems help so far but I still have a lot of questions.

Jim: I guess you have but now isn't the time, I will tell you after you did eat the 2000 crystals.

Aron: That is a deal, no backing out now.

With Aron taking his first crystal to eat that night nothing special happened in the settlement. 50 km to the west somethings did happen a group of around 200 two legged moved east slowly. They seemed to be looking for something.

The next morning Aron feeling good took another crystal his family quest now on 2/2000. Aron now thinking this will take ages to consume 1998 more.

[You can consume about a 100 a day in your current state.]

So Aron did eat a few more, the system was correct after eating 10 he didn't feel anything different. Aron did walk around the settlement looking for things to improve. One of the builders finally unlocked the stone houses and they were built closer to the mountain.

The wooden houses would go down when they had around 200 stone houses but they only had 10 so far. Aron now asking for the first time in a long time a question to his system. Is there a way to share skills?

[Yes and no, just repeat something over and over again will create a skill for that person.]

Now that I think about it Daisy created a new skill, I wonder if we can do the same with sword skills. I guess we need sparing matches and training dummies but first building.

Aron now with a new plan looking for the second highest level builder. He told the builder to copy one of the stone houses over and over again, all in the hope he could get the skill. The first 6 houses no one was able to live in. The 7th house was as good as the person building it with the skill, at the 12th house the builder got the skill and tried to use it an the first 6 houses. To Aron's and his surprise the house became livable.
