Chapter 119 Homesteading in a fantasy world

I could feel myself being moved somewhere. Everything hurt but not as bad as I was expecting. I could hear wolves and other dragging sounds. This attracted my interest, so I forced my eyes to open.

I was being dragged on a stretcher over the frozen river. I didn’t want to tilt my head up so much to see who was carrying me but Emma was walking beside me and George was guiding Francis. So, I would assume it would be Arthur who was dragging me. Knowing I was safe and that I had been trea...

Chapter 118 Homesteading in a fantasy world

POV Falyr Hrasnel

I was annoyed. The three nobles currently in this village were being like any other noble. I had hoped that we would be able to get them out of here, but I was denied that request. They will have to wait until spring before they will get out of here or until this place is discovered. That did not go over well with them especially when they found out we have an easy portal out of here to the capital.

Besides that, the village is quite overpopulated. It’s still l...

Chapter 117 Homesteading in a fantasy world

When we got close again this time, I had a hard time doing anything else but defending. But I also saw an opportunity. It was a lot angrier at this time and perhaps I could use it against him. I started to make myself lighter so its attacks will start to propel me further away. This took some time for me to get right but doing this help me get distance and opportunities to flank him with his help.

One of those moves gave me the chance for a ranged attack. Because of the last attack, it ...

Chapter 116 Homesteading in a fantasy world

This morning was a cold one it's been a few days since David was at the farm. It looks like my plan to make everyone loves saunas is going quite well and I will eventually make the majority not just love it but need it.

I often think about if I should have told him that my mind is not from this planet, but I don’t think it would change his mind about helping us achieve a safe place for us to live.

Watching the sun raise over the frozen lake is quite beautiful. The fresh cold air...

Chapter 115 Homesteading in a fantasy world

Rich waited with his apprentices at the entrance of the dungeon. The snow was cleared out from this area leaving high walls to surround them. Rich could hear the coming people long before they could see them. He was a bit anxious about what was going to happen but his resolution was firm. There would be no going back, and he just had to hope that the first people he will pick will not betray him.

It didn't take long for the people to reach the dungeon. Usually, only the apprentices were...

Chapter 114 Homesteading in a fantasy world

It was Wednesday and we were walking to the village. Yesterday I finally shared some of my plans for the future with my apprentices. I didn’t go too deep into my hopes of what we might become but I did open up about what kind of a community I wanted to create around the homesteader class.

But I also explained that everything was still in the planning phase, and nothing was concrete. And the only reason that I told them was that they had the right to know because this might become dang...

Chapter 113 Homesteading in a fantasy world

The next day I woke up in a pleasant mood. I was still getting a huge endorphin rush from the finished secret room. For the entire breakfast, all I could think about was if there was any other place where I could make a similar thing.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t anywhere currently that fit that description. So, I finally ended my daydreaming and took a look at my achievement page more specifically all the new abilities I have gotten.

I think I need to find a way to increase my e...

Chapter 112 Homesteading in a fantasy world

The entire time we were moving back to the farm my mind was on what David had told me. This world's technology was at a higher level than I first thought but not on the technology side but more thanks to the fantasy side.

Apparently, when you reach a certain power level the world truly opens up for you and you get access to a lot more interesting gadgets and tools that bridge the gap between Earth technology and this one.

For instance, there are communication devices that would wo...

Chapter 111 Homesteading in a fantasy world

What finally woke me up was the sun getting too high up and my eyes simply didn’t like that. One thing I was still super glad of was that getting up didn’t hurt anymore being young truly is wonderful. And this time I can actually take advantage of it, unlike the last time when I didn’t know what to appreciate before it was too late.

I got myself up, and did a quick check but didn't find anything wrong. Apparently, only a few hours of rest were needed for me to be in a minimum func...

Chapter 110 Homesteading in a fantasy world

My breath was still coming in heavy and my heart was beating a mile a minute. The sun was nice as I was laying on the snow as I was trying to get my body under control. I was running on fumes at the very end and I was quite glad that it was over.

Even though I was glad it was over I cannot argue with the results as many notifications were waiting for me. Just in case I got a little bit up to survey everything to see if it was truly over and after confirming it, I let myself fall back on...

Chapter 109 Homesteading in a fantasy world

***

The morning was cold when the first rays of sunshine started to illuminate the sky. In a small corner of the world, there was a wide area where the snow was not even past the knee.

On one side where the snow got thicker was a group of people that had been up all night working on their defences. Their breaths came slowly but were heavy. They made long furrows of frosty breath billow out.

It didn't take them long to notice the motion on the other side as the snow was being...

Chapter 108 Homesteading in a fantasy world

POV Rich Dirt

I could feel the strain that my body went through as I pulled out my sword from the now mangled corpse. With my energy roots and the sword removed the body fell with a squelching sound. It looked like someone had thrown a bunch of pieces of badly butchered meat, bones and clothing into a heap.

It was not a beautiful sight, but I was quite glad to see that waste of space dead. Thinking back on the last day I was quite glad I decided to see the convoy with my own eyes....

Chapter 107 Homesteading in a fantasy world

Slowly but steadily the convoy started to reach the snow that wasn’t that thick anymore. In the centre carriage, the only one that was heated lounged a young man who looked at his food disgusted. Like he always did he started to complain about the lack of acceptable food to the other occupants of the carriage.

With him were his sister and two other women that used to be a part of smaller noble houses. His sister was in manacles to stop her from trying to run away. The other two women ...

Chapter 106 Homesteading in a fantasy world

I had reached as far towards the south as I was willing to go. Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything to fight. I was hoping to find something that could help me level, but the grass sea does seem to be a low-level zone.

I hoped that there would be a place with rabbits that were evolved enough to give me a fight and give enough XP to level. I would have liked to get my heroic soldier and true archer classes to 20 but unfortunately, I might have to fight the undead horde with my current...

Chapter 105 Homesteading in a fantasy world

There was snow everywhere I looked. Currently underneath my feet was over 4 meters of snow.  This was the highest peak I could find in the grasslands. Because of the wind, the snow was not uniform, but it raised and fell like waves on the ocean. The sun was high and warmed my skin nicely and I finally got to see what it felt like to have snow that towers over you and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Even more than that I enjoyed channelling Legolas. My ability to control my weight helps me...

Chapter 104 Homesteading in a fantasy world

We were back at the farm, and I was a bit annoyed, so I went inside the barn so that the animals could calm me. Everything had gone so well with having humans so close, but I guess everything must come to an end. Fortunately, it seems that it was just one bad apple and perhaps I can use it to my advantage later on.

I am starting to feel like myself again but now I have even more free time as I only have to sleep once every two days. At first, I thought it was because I was so out of it ...

Chapter 103 Homesteading in a fantasy world

It was time to dive back into my adventurer class. The first thing that greeted me was a message, starting consolidation. This took a few moments and then my body skill started to upgrade. First, it went to the basic body then to the body eventually ending in advanced body level 6. Then it paused for another few moments and I got two new notifications.

You have gained a new ability: body enhancement (E)

You have gained a new ability: energy compression

There was no ...

Chapter 102 Homesteading in a fantasy world

After the fight, we all took a long rest because the fight took around 30 minutes which was quite crazy. I had heard from the instructors that monster fights sometimes lasted a long time giving the advantage to the monsters, but it looks like this time that advantage was towards us. I still remember those elemental abilities that it used and was glad that none of the wolves charged at the start of the fight as it would have been certain death for any of them.

Next was time for butcherin...

Chapter 101 Homesteading in a fantasy world

It was Monday again. For the rest of the week everything went quite normally but last night I felt a predator enter my land that was not supposed to be there. This morning I got a better idea of what it is and where it’s headed. Unfortunately, it will come quite close by and most likely will notice us. If I understand correctly, it’s a huge Wolf most likely a monster as its energy density is quite high.

So today I did not go with my apprentices to the village instead I started to ge...

Chapter 100 Homesteading in a fantasy world

----

So, 100 chapters never saw that coming tnx for all the support.

----

The next morning, we again spent in the forest going further out to choose the correct trees for building and, so we don't overcut the area and leave it barren. After that, it was time for me to try to combine skills. Most of all I wanted to combine all my weapon skills.

Luckily there didn't seem to be anything different with the process although I did notice more emphasis on knowledge so I wasn�...

Chapter 99 Homesteading in a fantasy world

There was a lot to absorb, and I knew that studying the druid magic system will be extremely difficult and most likely will have limited use in combat situations. Although as I understand with a bit of preparation anyone who uses it can be quite good at support if you are talking about Bert’s version of druid magic.

Currently, I believe the best way to continue is to focus on my energy control side of things. For that, I started to prepare to combine my abilities. I had an idea when I...

Chapter 98 Homesteading in a fantasy world

The evening went by quite fast and while we were all moving back to the farm, I thought over all that I had learned. I was completely correct about gambling and when I am losing and everyone else is winning people speak their minds a lot easier.

One thing that almost made me want to break the table was the mistake I made with my adventuring class. I didn’t need to get to level 25 but to 35 to get the two abilities from the skill. Which of course made perfect sense. The beginner took 5...

Chapter 97 Homesteading in a fantasy world

----

200k words thanks for all your support.

----

Falyr was sitting in his office while Rich was just across the table sitting on his guest chair. They had not spoken to each other after they had left Bert. Falyr didn’t know how to go about this. The man across from him was someone he had never had to deal with.

Normally whenever he needed to make deals with someone, he had a lot more information about that person. It would seem that he had gotten used to his company...

Chapter 96 Homesteading in a fantasy world

Bert took a moment to gather himself and then guided Rich a bit further away from everyone. “The trait is an interesting one for what it can offer but most importantly it affects you. Well yes, basically every trait affects yourself but this one goes a lot deeper than just you’re physically stronger because you have stronger muscle fibres. This trait changes your perception of the world.”

Rich looked a bit taken aback by this news. How much did this trait change his personality? B...

Chapter 95 Homesteading in a fantasy world

Falyr watched out from his office window. The village was now a lot busier as about half the people were here that they are planning to bring. There was still a lot of work to do but the defences were now a lot better.

They had sacrificed one of the more damaged buildings to make watchtowers so they could keep watch from every direction. The gate was also beefed up making sure that any monster on the silver level couldn't get through.

The surroundings were a lot calmer than they w...

Chapter 94 Homesteading in a fantasy world

Everyone in the village was currently looking at me. Falyr was having a village meeting during which he invited me next to him towards the end of it. He explained who I was and that I was their neighbour.

It was quite awkward, so I think no one expected this to happen but I think I gave a good performance and I guess the system agreed because I got my acting skill to level up.

I would have wanted to leave a while ago but when I learned that Michael would certainly have to leave in...

Chapter 93 Homesteading in a fantasy world

It’s almost 9 o’clock and we are all waiting for the portal to be opened again. Our 2 remaining druids are currently here and will attempt to complete Bert’s plan which will grant us access to a huge stockpile of food and a safe place where our families can go.

I have yet to sleep during these three days so much needed to be completed. All our plans needed to be changed but everyone was brimming with energy as we figured out how good this actually was for us.

I am still amaz...

Chapter 92 Homesteading in a fantasy world

Last night had been interesting we discussed many things and made many plans but most importantly we need to start gathering more lumber. It’s a perfect opportunity to train the wolves more and to teach my apprentices a new skill. But I didn’t want Francis to miss this, and I knew that if he found out he would be pretty disappointed.

So currently we were all working inside the barn to make a cold room against one of the barn doors. This way when we open one side of it the cold will ...

Chapter 91 Homesteading in a fantasy world

I left the village quite a while ago and I’m guessing that I’m about halfway back home. I will need to return in three days. Then I will get more information about what they will plan to do but I am pretty sure that they will send at least some people to the village. They all seemed good enough people so let's hope that they will be good neighbours.

Pulling the wagon was a lot harder than I imagined mostly because of the snow. The wind had blown snow into thick furrows that were une...

Chapter 90 Homesteading in a fantasy world

Bert was helped back into the inn and set down so he could recover. The food was ready and divided among all. Rich got out his meeker supplies of smoked meat but at least everyone got one small piece as they started to enjoy the meal.

They didn't talk about anything important and stuck with simple stories to pass the time. Rich did indicate that he will sleep in the village hall and leave the inn to them for the night. While this pleasant and quite calm dinner took place elsewhere where...
