I’ll leave the in-depth skill examination for later. I’m not sure to what extent my new construction technique skill works, but with that I’ve collected everything I need for the basic necessities of life.

All that’s left is to raise my skill level from now on and the quality should improve. For now I should level up my skills and I suppose I’ll check my status.

I fought against the honey bears, so my whole status should have become a lot higher than the last time I rolled the gacha. Thanks to that, the bronze status strengthening type skills should have a greater effect.

Strength 112 (+4)Stamina 100 (+3)Dexterity 91 (+2)Agility 110 (+3)Magic 135 (+4)

Magic’s growth was remarkable. If I had to guess, its probably thanks to how slashing technique, earth magic, fire magic, water magic, as well as the magic I use for day everyday life all rely on it.

Compared to before, my stamina also went up quite a lot. Well, that still came at the cost of some hard fights against the honey bears. That doesn’t mean that fighting the honey bears was a bad thing of course. I need to pass through honey bear territory if I want to move further north after all.

It seems like the honey bears originally came from that region. Up next I checked my skills.

I have two of the rainbow rarity skills leveled up to max. This was a joyous thing of course, but I couldn’t help but sigh at the skill further to the bottom. This surplus skill is a problem.

I can’t even use it to level up my other skills, so just what can I do with it from now on? Well my skills are like this for now.

I took a look at my leveled up light magic. It was brighter than before. Maybe I can use this to make something like a streetlight.

I don’t plan on hunting at night for now, but it might become a necessity sometime in the future. I’ll need to make the forest more comfortable to live in.

I turned off the light magic and lied down in my usual bed. I might be parting with this place from tomorrow. Thinking about that made me feel a little bit lonely… but not really.

The next day. I was greeted by some fine weather. It was really helpful that I haven’t had any rain since coming to this forest.

It doesn’t really look like this forest has very good drainage, so that might make hunting pretty difficult for a few days. When I got out into my garden I checked my plants and watered them.

I could use the soil over as much as I want by using ground working technique to plow it. I’m not particularly well versed in agriculture, but if I recall correctly the soil should experience fatigue.

By growing food in the same place a bunch, the soil will gradually weaken, and your produce will get worse.

To be sure I examined some soil after harvesting, and sure enough it became worse for growing. However, after I tilled the earth with land working technique I was able to grow on it again. …I wonder what kind of effect using tilling it with fecal matter mixed in would have. Anyway, after examining the field today I picked the orange fruits that I could harvest.

Ahh, so sweet and yummy. Thinking about oranges, the sourness was certainly part of the enjoyment, but after all it’s good with just the sweetness.

…I hope I can grow some other vegetables soon. Right now I could only fool myself by making chuchu grass salad. Alright, the main subject for today isn’t my garden.

I really wanted to use construction technique. After activating construction technique, a row of blueprints were displayed before my eyes.

…Oh, since my options were only level one I wasn’t able to make anything particularly big. But I seemed to be able to make a lot of things.

I want to make a house. From my current options, it seems the best I can make is a really small lumberjack’s home. Anyway, in order to make it, it seems I needed some lumber.

Wait, do I only need to gather some lumber? I thought you needed to do some important things to build a house, like preparing a foundation and all that. It felt more like I was setting up a tent.

Oh well, it is a skill that was prepared for me by God. Nothing I say will change it. Can’t do anything but trust in God.

I started collecting lumber immediately. …Harvesting technique doesn’t seem to work. Is there some sort of logging technique skill? I could kind of feel the effect land working technique. Ah, maybe that’s because the trees are in the way of working the land?

Like that I cleared the surrounding trees and collected them. It seems that trees were also affected by the cultivation skill. Looking at their roots with appraisal I could see that they experienced an extra ten days worth of growth.

…I guess I didn’t need to worry about not having enough lumber. After gathering enough wood I activated construction technique. When construction technique activated it asked where I would like to build the house.

Eyeballing the size of it, I don’t think it’ll get in the way if I build it by the roots of the tree I was currently using. Then the moment after I selected the position, a small log house popped into existence.
