Chapter 11: Tamer or Crafter
After they finished eating, Aric started cleaning up the plates and tools he used while Ariel went back to work on the house. She was almost done with it and was now even at roofing.
Aric was shocked by how much her progress was already. She took over the whole job from him and was literally doing it better than him.
It didn't take long anymore. The food had given her much-needed energy, and she was able to finish the house. As she hit the last nail into the wooden roof, a string of notifications flooded Aric.
[Congratulations, you have completed your first building. Level up, 10,000 gold gained, 4 free stat points.]
[Major step to creating your empire. Level up, level up, 10,000 gold, 6 free stat points.]
[Every empire needs buildings. Congratulations on taking the first step. Level up, level up, 10,000 gold, 4 free stat points, special item granted.]
[Congratulations, you have reached level 10. Special item box available, 6 free stat points.]
[Mana leveled up, Stamina leveled up, Health leveled up.]
Aric was stunned by what he saw. Did he get all that from just finishing one house? He could not even hold back his excitement. This was beyond unbelievable—it was simply crazy.
While he was still stunned, Ariel came to him. She waved her hands in front of him. "Hey, I think I'm done," she said with a smile, but then, all of a sudden, Aric hugged her. He wrapped his hands around her tightly.
"Thank you. Thank you for helping me finish this. You don't know how much this means to me," he said. Her face was already flushed. She wanted to push him away, but her arms didn't have the strength to.
Aric let go of her and walked to the cabin to take a look at it. Ariel stood there stunned, confused, and blushing.
