Chapter 40: Village Plans
Morning came, and Caelen stood by the window, stretching. The sun was warm, the wind soft. He had already mined mythril and made good tools, but something kept pushing him. The urge to build, to grow.
"I'll make a blacksmith shop today," he said.
He opened his inventory, pulled out a pile of regular stone, and began crafting.

He smiled and called out to the others. "Zira, Garin, Miko, Rena! I need your help."
Zira was first to arrive. "What are we making now?"
"A blacksmith building. Time to step things up."
They all pitched in. Zira helped mix mud and water for mortar. Garin lifted bricks and set them in place. The kids carried tools and cheered Caelen on. They worked side by side, stacking brick after brick.
It took a few hours, but soon, the walls stood tall, and the roof was made from logs and leaves. They placed the furnace and anvil inside. It looked small, but it was solid.
"We did it," Caelen said, wiping sweat from his neck.
Zira nodded. "Looks great."
