“Cal, this is Miren,” Tavia looked between them. “I saw some of the things she drew up for you, and I have to say I’m jealous.” “I’m excited to see the designs, Miren,” Cal smiled at the nervous-looking girl. She gave him a jerky nod but kept her mouth slammed shut. Her mousy appearance was further exaggerated by the way her clothes seemed to drown her when she moved her head. Cal didn’t react to her muteness but to give her another smile. “Go ahead and get your people set up. I’m…-

Cal had his arms reaching for the sky as he stretched as much as possible. He let out a sigh of pleasure when he felt a few pops. He picked up the plow he had taken out of the shed and went directly to the dug-up area. He wasn’t about to waste any time when he had the opportunity to get another equipment. Cal dropped the plow onto the dirt and stared. He pushed, testing the force it would need, and was surprised that he moved it forward like it was on wheels. It sliced through the dirt like butter and…

Cal turned to lead them to where he dug up the ground. “I have a few questions about—” “Where did you get that?” He turned in surprise at the abrupt question. “What?” Drex was staring over his shoulder. “Did the guild give you… never mind.” He shook his head, reconsidering his need to know. “I suppose I can see why you have such confidence.” “Hey, boss. Do I need to be here for this?” Seris already looked bored out of her mind. She hadn’t noticed the shovel Orrin made for…

Cal glanced at the interface before dismissing it. It wasn’t that big of an achievement since it only needed a hundred swings to get. He was more concerned about the condition of the pickaxe. He kicked aside the scattered debris to clear the area before him. Every swing of the pickaxe had thrown up a significant amount of broken ground, and with him having done a hundred swings, there was enough debris that it was becoming a problem. Cal put the pickaxe on his back and pulled the shovel. He had cleared…

Cal picked up the shovel and set down the plow in its place. He left the shed and pushed the wheelbarrow to the nearest pile of rocks. He used the shovel to scoop up a large portion of the rocks easily and dumped them into the wheelbarrow. He noted that the shovel's reduced quality didn’t reduce its scooping capabilities—at least, not that he could tell. Also, the interface didn’t show itself. Cal quickly finished dumping the pile of rocks into the wheelbarrow in seconds. The interface still…

“Looks like you settled in quite well, Initiate Cal.” He sat up in shock, squinting his eyes at the sun shining from behind the man standing at the shed's entrance. “Gather yourself. We need to have a talk.” The Overseer backed up and shut the door. Cal immediately patted his hands over his coat’s inner pocket and sighed in relief. He stood and smoothed his clothes unsuccessfully. He glanced at his tools and wondered if the Overseer would mention it. Cal exited the shed and saw a small pile…

Cal quickly learned that what interested Seris did not interest him at all. She spent well over an hour telling him too much about ships. It was in so much detail that he feared this would influence the next skill choice. “—ship needs a fifty-man crew just to—” “Seris,” Cal interrupted, “I have to head back to my station.” “Oh,” Seris looked put out. “Why so early, boss? You can’t really do anything there besides smashing up more stones.” “I happen to like smashing up…

“Let’s go straight to wherever the crop seeds are.” Cal was eager to see if this included crops beneficial for people with activated interfaces. He expected them since Seris mentioned the seeds were sent to the city. The guild wouldn’t bother to do so with mortal crops. “You don’t want to speak to the sailors? I bet they can tell you about the places they visited. You might even find the map you want.” “I see. I guess that means you are rejecting my job offer? This “Ah! I was just…

“I consider this my best piece, Initiate Cal. You won’t go wrong choosing this.” Cal hummed noncommittally as he stared at massive strips of leather being offered to him. “I’m sure. Seris hasn’t led me wrong so far.” The man beamed at the girl in question. “Our Seris has always been reliable.” Cal glanced at her as he nodded. “Let’s go over this again. A leather strap that hangs across my shoulders which can support up to three large tools. Another strap that goes around my waist,…

Cal woke to light shining directly into his eyes. The gaps in the tattered roof were perfectly placed to try and blind him. He squinted and moved out of the way, hand already around the handle of the sledgehammer. Cal pushed himself up and kicked open the door with his foot, sledgehammer already on his shoulder. He walked directly to where the hole appeared in the ground and saw it was deeper than he had assumed. He would drop well over twenty feet before he would touch dirt. Cal still couldn’t see…
