It was one thing to make a threat, and it was another to see it through. Kenan swayed on his feet, his mana completely bottomed out as his vision seemed to go blank for a second. The shaman tried to capitalize on that as the goblin waved the staff in its hands. But whatever it was trying to do, it had to call off as a quick barrage of one staff and one wand-empowered Basic Fire Bullet flew at the shaman.The goblin jumped back in fright, its shield coming into existence. And while it was safe from damage, there was no holding back the concussive force released from the skills' impact. It was thrown back head over heels before crashing down with a dull thud. Kenan took a step forward, but a staff on his shoulder brought his movement to a halt."You're barely standing as it is. Take a back seat on this one. I'll handle this shaman." Kenan frowned. "Kate, this isn't the time for this. It's dangerous...""This is exactly the time for this, Kenan! You

REWARDS: +1200 EXP EACH, 1 BASIC SKILL SELECTION] Kate kept looking at the quests left that they had to deal with. She was worried. Quest 7 was just... it was crazy. It was barely more than a day ago she was seeing Kenan in videos and photos doing nasty things with her sister. And now this system expects her to just... just... sleep with him! She huffed in annoyance, then turned to the side. Her eyes fell on Kenan. He was going through the Basic Farmstead Bundle. Not that there was much inside of it—just a hoe, shovel, a rake, a small trowel, a watering can, and a bag of seeds that looked like they were corn, except the damn things were blue. After that,

DAY 3:Kenan could not believe his eyes. After yesterday, he and Kate had been stable enough to spend the rest of their time training and trying to understand their skills. He'd also taken the time to give her some pointers on how to use her spear in the event she was forced into close-quarters combat. It had been particularly difficult since Kate was rather rigid in her approach. Kenan had to teach her to rely on her feet—movement and placement were one of, if not the most important aspects of combat. But that was neither here nor there, because what surprised him the most was the fact that he was looking at waist-high corn stalks.But then again, these didn't look like corn stalks. The corn grew from the tip in bunches of five to ten, and they grew from a single focal point similar to how palm kernels grew. The way the corn grew out made them look like the stalk was wearing a hat, which pretty much explained why it was called Bonnet Corn. There were at least ten stalks, with no fewe

**DAY 4:**Kenan was annoyed—mainly at himself, but he hadn't been able to do anything productive with the rest of the day yesterday. Not with how upset Kate had been, considering she'd only given him basic grunts and one-word answers. But she could only keep him silent for so long—she knew this more than anything. In that regard, Kenan had to be thankful to this place, because no matter the problem, it still forced them to deal with it. There was no running away, and you could only keep someone silent for so long with your lives on the line.Kenan hadn't even harvested the Bonnet Corn yesterday. It had just been really awkward, and Kenan didn't want to do it himself—not just for anything, but the fact that Kate would get upset if she saw him acting like he hadn't done anything wrong. Not that he had, but sometimes you couldn't ever attach logic to a woman. Matters of the heart were always tricky, and they were quite sensitive to it. He sighed, then ran a hand over his head. He was ge

**DAY 5:**Kate woke up first. It was rather sudden, her awareness over the place as the memories of last night ran wild within her head. And then her awareness deepened as she recognized the sticky wet trail from her mouth as drool—even crazier was that it was all over Kenan's chest.She got up slowly, but as she'd come to realize in the last couple of years they'd been together, sex had never felt so good. Crazy enough that they'd never made it back to the cabin. She was excited, and she felt giddy in a way she never had before. Was this what it felt like to be a wife? It was amazing."I haven't seen you wake up with a smile like that in a while."Kenan's voice broke through and dragged her from the depths of her thoughts. Kate's cheeks burned red as she threw a slap on Kenan's chest."Shut up!" she squealed as she tried to pick herself off of him. But Kenan wasn't letting that happen as he stretched out his arms and grabbed her, holding her tight and not letting her get even a sing
