Chapter 6: The Girl Who Kissed Me Broke Into My Basement
Eren had never considered the possibility that his farmhouse might have a basement. Mostly because he was too busy surviving horny villagers, chicken warfare, and unwanted system-triggered kisses.
But tonight, as he sat sharpening a wooden stick with a kitchen knife like a discount survivalist, Lira appeared in the doorway holding a glowing map.
"Master," she said, "your house is alive."
Eren dropped the stick. "You're going to need to say that again, and this time in a way that makes me not want to move out immediately."
She walked over and placed the map on the table. It pulsed with faint golden lines. The shape of the farmhouse shimmered. Underneath the floorboards—just beneath where Eren's bed was—a symbol glowed.
"Your home was built over a dormant System Seed," she said. "Something... is waking it up."
Eren leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. "And you just found this out now?"
"I scanned the property weekly."
He glared. "Weekly isn't good enough when I sleep above a ticking plot device."
