The sun slipped behind the horizon, and Corned welcomed the night.Upstairs, in the tavern’s master room, the air had turned heavy, warm, and restless.It wasn’t just the heat of the day that lingered. It was two people who had once been torn apart, finally finding each other again after years of silence.The old wooden bed creaked under the weight of forgotten hunger, shaking softly as Duke moved with rough urgency, his breath breaking in sharp gasps.Sierra’s fingers dug into the sheets as her body trembled beneath him; her voice came out like broken whispers.“Oh… yes…”Her staff stood leaning against the desk, abandoned like a forgotten weapon. Her sleeveless purple gown lay on the bed detached from her skin, half-slipped aside as the fabric fluttered faintly in the cool wind pouring in through the open window.“I missed you, Duke...” Sierra breathed, her voice shaking. “I forgot what it felt like… to not have to be looking over m

The morning light hit the Helis wall of the habitat and shattered into countless needles of light, grazing my fur in a warm embrace.I opened my eyes, still remembering last night’s “meeting” with the Domain Builders.Calling it a meeting was generous. What I actually did was assign roles and jobs inside my own domain… and somehow it felt like I was running my own corporate office in the middle of a fantasy world.I sat up and turned my gaze.“What…?!”My nerves snapped inside me.“They did it… overnight?”The entire habitat was surrounded by a tall wall now. Sunlight poured in from above, touching the top of it like it was some proud monument.I stared harder. There was no room for doubt. It was exactly how I ordered it.Seven cylindrical towers stood tall, attached to the wall at equal distances.All I had done was select the wall pattern on the Doma

The moment I pressed [UPGRADE], the habitat trembled with a low hum.The builder standing near me stepped forward toward the throne, raising its hammer high.Bip! Bip-bip!With hurried steps, it reached the chair at the center of the habitat and—Bonk! Bonk! Bonk!It started hammering the throne like its life depended on it.[Helis Core formation in progress. ETA: 1 hour]“Ooh… so the throne is the core?”My eyes narrowed as I watched small pulses of Helis flicker from the chair with every tiny, adorable bonk.It was the same as the sprout-nurturing animation. With every hit made of these little hammers… Helis was being integrated into everything inside the domain.A thought clicked in my head as I remembered the system’s message about Helis.“Objects integrated with Helis are st

RAGHHH!!!GRRRRRR!!!Naturia trembled as the roars of men and beasts collided.The Zaphounds crashed into them like a tsunami.Their footsteps were silent, like raindrops sliding off leaves, yet their speed was terrifying… sharp and sudden… like bees striking before you could blink.Steel met flesh and fangs reached human blood as pain became the only rhythm.Blades pierced through monster bodies as the men fought back harder, blood spilling everywhere.If they stabbed one through the heart…another Zaphound tore a chunk from their shoulder.

The deeper Duke stepped into Naturia, the denser the trees became. His eyes moved constantly, scanning left, right, above.But there were no monsters, no growls. Not even the rustling of leaves could be heard. It was as if, after the blood madness…Naturia was resting.The pressure in his chest eased slightly. And that was the mistake. Something slammed into him from the left.He didn’t even see it.Pain exploded through his ribs.“Damn it—!”His body flew sideways.THUD!He braced instinctively, but the impact against another trunk stole the air from his lungs.Cough. Cough.Blood splattered from his mouth as he slid down the bark. Then…Something tightened around his ankle. His gaze snapped downward.A thick vine.“What the…?!”The vine yanked him upward. The world flipped as he hung upside down. And it didn’t sto
