With the departure of the two monsters, I slump down to the ground, leaning against the nearest tree. Howard comes near me and places Luke down next to me making sure to not injure Luke. I look to my side and I see the alpha wolf struggling to move as it limps closer to us. "You can understand me right? Do you have a name?" The wolf slowly leans its body against the tree in front of me and then falls down, resting its head between its front two paws. "Little one's friend, I am Aur, leader of the Golden…-

"Ian, hurry up and keep moving we need to get to Luke as fast as we can." Howard whispers behind me lowering his voice as much as possible. There were no movements from either the wolves or the monster so we weren't sure if they noticed us yet. To be safe we were further away from the edge of the clearing and proceeding slowly and quietly. Each step as though three or four steps in advance to reduce the amount of noise while increasing the distance as quickly as possible. I look over to the monsters and…

Run. Run. Run. Run. RUN! RUN! RUN! RUN! Don't stop. Don't stop. Don't stop. Don't stop! I'm sorry Oscar… I can't get that scene out of my head. Oscar running after hitting that monster. His stomach smashed in half. Blood and guts splattered across the ground and his face was full of disbelief. The maniacal laugh in between the crunching of bones resonated in my head. My eyes blurry from tears, my skin scratched by random branches, my arms and legs bruised from tripping and falling. But I…

"Oh no…" I stand there staring at the blue screen. I can't believe it. "IAN! HEY! IAN are you ok?" "Huh. What…I." Howard grabs my shoulder and shakes me. "What's wrong?" "Oscar...He..He…" I can tell I look distraught. I can't even speak properly. Howard stops shaking me and dashes into the forest. I grit my teeth and run after him. The only thoughts left in my head were, why did I send them out? I could have just asked only the goblins to go searching for things? What if Luke dies too? How can…

I watch Luke, Oscar and the 6 goblins walk into the forest to scout out the surrounding areas around HaveFall. While they were gone HavenFall was still busy. With the construction of the moat finished there now needs to be a way for us to attack over the wall. There are two solutions. One is to create some sort of platform right behind the wall, something like a step. The other option is to create watchtowers. I personally prefer creating watchtowers because we can make two to four watchtowers near the…

It was a cold night on this mountainside but still, I was happy. I felt like going out and finding new things so when I come back mum, dad and even Ian will praise me. I am lucky that Luke is coming along too. He is a great guy. Although he does not speak much, his actions tell a hundred words. It was like that time when we were going to fight the goblins in the encampment. Ian had initially told us we would both hide on a ledge and then appear when he was in trouble but Luke told Ian that I should stay…

I can still remember the disturbing and grotesque scene in that encampment. Screaming and yelling mixed with laughter and cheer. Puddles of deep crimson blood litter the ground, filled with bits and pieces of flesh. You can see parts of innards, ears, fingers and teeth floating about in the red sea. The smell of iron, urine and feces fills your nose and even if you vomit only acid and water come up. I was only there for 2 days and I had already seen so many women tortured, men slaughtered and monsters…

For the following week, everyone was busy in HavenFall. Luke and Oscar finished making the pottery wheel and I helped old man Hus create some simple clay pots, cups, spoons, plates and large pots for storage. Afterward, Luke and Oscar went to help David complete make a larger kiln next to the small kiln I had made and once they had finished they helped David complete the wall. Lucina, Robin and Owen were able to finish tilling 4 fields as well as plant different crops in each field taking. Howard and the…

Thinking back to the research I had done before coming back to the game I start to search along the river bank for clay-like soil. Further down the river, I notice the soil color changing from a red to a greyish hue. The following instruction on the internet I bend down and touch the soil and notice it had a different texture to the dirt and soil I had previously been walking on. It was glossy and smooth with an almost plastic-like texture. I further test out the clay by going towards the river and cupping…

After coming out of the game I went for a jog and at the same time, I scheduled a meeting with Evan and Sabrina. I checked the forum after my jog and did not see any new information which means either people have not found out about the technology tree or people are hiding the information. Hiding the information is a perfectly valid strategy to get ahead of the rest of the players since there are a lot of black rectangles which means there is a lot of technological milestones. I decide not to think too…
