New Born (II): Settlement Upgrade

The sun didn't really burn him, if he had to consider the grand scheme of things, well that would be wrong, it felt hotter than normal, and he felt a little weak under it, but apart from that everything else seemed normal. Well as normal as your diet changing to mainly contain blood as primary source, and feeling an overwhelming urge to rip into the neck of any living being that comes close to him. Not really sure he would have been able to handle such a change, but Priest has been by his side all through, offering as much support as he could and making Sure Rezar hadn't lost his mind, hut it has been three days, it was time for him to go back and pay attention to his settlement.

For one the construction of the wall seemed to have accelerated, after the fight with Tetum and his subsequent defeat, the territory had leveled up to 8, and with the constant foraging of resources, the experience percentage has been steadily climbing up. Rezar took a deep breath as he turned to look at the clothes that were placed at his side, Priest and Gynaika had put most of the elves to work, and luckily some of them had a little bit of talent in tailoring and leatherworking, so he was able to get new clothes that were honestly a hundred times better than the previous ones he had on that had gotten burnt.

The pants were matte black, they clung to his frame really well and was accompanied by a midnight blue belt that honestly looked like it was made from stone. From the knees of the pants, a sort of shark fin like design of the same midnight blue coloring stretched up to top of his hips, and then there were boots lined with fur, but at the same time felt so light and comfortable. There were two silver buckles on them, and their soles, heels and underside was made of the same silver. When Rezar touched them, it had burned a little, but Priest had suggested he kept them close, as a vampire or half vampire his body was now weak to quite a few things.

While those things won't kill him, they could cause him more pain than he could bear, and one of those things was silver. So Rezar should get used to having silver all around him as it would help him with the resistance, and help him not be too afraid of it. Though he wasn't afraid of silver, Priest reckoned that this would be a good 'mind over matter' training for him. A shirt wasn't made for him as Priest had asked them to skip that part, with the way he fought, getting Rezar a shirt would be a complete waste of time, so all they made for him was a midnight blue cloak with a hood, lined with fur that had been dyed white.

The cloak was sleeveless, but Rezar could still zip it up if he wanted, but honestly he would very much like to leave his body open, after all he was a rather fine chocolate specimen of a man. Topping it off was a pair of gloves, that while soft on the inside looked a bit scary outside. Still going with the whole black get up, the gloves were obviously made from the scales of a monster, punch someone with this and the bruising would definitely not be nice.

Rezar shook his head at that and went out of the cave he had hidden himself in for days. The settlement seemed to be a little lively, but that was mostly on the part of the undead. The elves and what remained of the goblins… or not, those were mostly undead keeping an eye on the dwarves. Rezar moved towards the town Spire ignoring pretty much everyone as he was lost in his thoughts. For one, there was a lack of housing due to the increase of population, though the elves were more like prisoners or slaves, they were now considered a part of his settlement.

But the thing is, with the wall still being built, there were a lot of buildings that were queued, the scout towers, and the basic citizen recruitment hall. The leader's cabin had been completed with the rest of the earlier log cabins, but he had preferred the darkness of the tunnels. Never the less he needed a way to increase construction speed, because there was still a couple of blue prints in hand that he had to begin construction upon.

But first things first, he would like to combine the town spire of the elves with that of his settlement, increasing its grade, he didn't really know what would happen after that, but it should be enough to either level the settlement to level 9 or better yet upgrade it. And after that he would have to name the settlement, he has been putting that of for a while now, and it was about time he did so,

[Absorb Town Spire for Muriel elf town; Seteria?... Spire absorbed]

Almost immediately there was a flash of light that seemed to shoot up into the sky, the wind billowed and shook as Rezar took a few steps back, his new clothes flapping in the appearance of the wind and the sudden light show. The golden scrips on his spire seemed to peel off the body of the spire itself and floated into the air, before latching on to the Seteria town spire and turning it into motes of light that was absorbed by the golden runes, which in turned surged back to the spire and released a shockwave that blasted Rezar backwards.

[The town spire has become stronger, its grade has changed from the default Legacy(Undead), to a silver grade Legacy town spire]

[Due to the outburst of energy from the fusing of the two town spire all queued construction has been completed, all subsequent exp has been tallied. Congratulations! Your settlement has evolved into a level 1 village.]

[Five basic Scout towers have leveled up to Level 5 basic scout towers, Leader Log cabin has leveled up to village Chief's abode, Town hall has gone up by two levels (size increased), basic citizen recruitment hall has leveled up to Intermediate citizen recruitment hall, wooden stake wall construction has been completed and ranked up to wooden palisade wall]

[All current wood resource has been exhausted along with 2000 units of stone, ore and 3000 units of magic for the upgrade.]

[Spire skills now unlocked, dungeon core can now start spawning monsters for the defense of the village.]

[To upgrade village to a town the following requirements must be met.]

• Population: 1500

• Military: 200

• Military Might: E+

• Resources: Wood [20,000]/Stone [50,000]/Ore [35,000]/Magic [25,000]

• Barracks

• Pier

• 300 gold Elys Daily Income

• A Name

Rezar felt stupid, and very, very upset. All of his gathered resources were pretty much gone, but what pissed him the most was that he had a couple of blueprints in hand. If he knew the Spire increasing in grade would level the settlement into a village and automatically complete all the current construction, he would have readily Queued all of them and saved him a lot of trouble, but now it was back to the slow grind. But it didn't matter, they've achieved quite much. That is until a problem arose.

Rezar cursed the system, because right now, he had two blueprints for basic barracks.

"What a fucking waste!"
