IN A FEW DAYSAT MICHAEL'S POV:It seems that everything is going pretty well. I still needed to find some things to make my life more comfortable. I was happy to have a steady supply of food and water and a roof over my head. I felt like I was missing something that was important to my happiness. I think it was time to start working on more harder tasks. I wonder what I can use to level up to E rank faster."I think I should get going to adventurer guild again."I thought.As soon as I got that idea, I left there. It took me a while, but I was pretty happy to see a notice board with stuff like this. I needed some things to update better blueprints. I wonder how long it takes to get an E rank. I checked the notice board and saw some tasks.Task to gather 20 flowers in the forest for 20 coins.That doesn't sound too interesting. I might do it while doing other tasks.Catch 5 rabbits in the forest. Each fur is worth up to 50 coins.I wonder what is the smallest amount for it. It sounds l
THE NEXT DAYAT MICHEL'S POV:As soon as sun rise up I went to my guild. I went there to look for Wanessa. I wanted to go with her again to a wasteyard. Weridly she was nowhere to be found. As soon as I got there I noticed that someone is already here. I knew because I could see some step prints on ground. I was sure it was a woman, but I knew that it was NOT Wanessa. I noticed that she had dark hair and almost black color eyes. I had never seen a woman having such dark hair before. I saw how she started getting closer and I was confused as to why such a beautiful woman was interested in me. "I see you are here again."She said."I came to get a sewing machine. I do not see why you should be so upset with me."I said."I am not upset. My name is Ophelia and I can help you."She said."It sounds like a good idea."I said.I smiled and started following her. It took us less than an hour to reach it. I had a needed blueprint to fix it so I felt really happy. It seems that now I just need to
AT THE SAME TIMEAT MICHAEL'S POV:As I was lying near them I noticed how both of them were talking. I knew that I needed those things, but I can not resist sometimes to have moments like this. It feels so nice to be like this. I feel so happy since it's really enjoyable. I decided that we had to camp until soon rises again. As soon as we noticed the sunrise, we started walking further. To my side were two of my dearest friends, Wanessa and Ophelia. We had decided to embark on a peaceful walk through the woods, seeking adventure and tranquility in the heart of nature. The earthy scent of damp soil and fallen leaves filled the air, grounding us in the present moment."It looks pretty, but how we are going to find those details?"I asked."I don't know," Wanessa said."I hope we find it in that location,"I said.Wanessa, with her contagious laughter, shared an anecdote that had us all in stitches. "You won't believe what happened at one of the tasks today."She said. "My boss, Mr. Anderso
IN A BIT AT MICHAEL'S POV:As soon I got home I have decided to have some rest. I liked sleeping and I put my blueprint in a safe place. It seems that a special item will be glass. I heard that some shops has stuff like this so I happy. Right now I want to rest and think about other things tomorrow. When I woke up the next morning I realized that it was time to go to check out some shops. I was sure it will take some time still I was ready to do so. As soon as I reach the first shop I started to look around for some glass. It seems that it's not going to be easy thing since this is apocalypse world. I understand that it will take some time to get things like these, but I was ready for it.As soon as I started looking for some glass I heard some steps getting closer to me. When I turned around, I saw a shop owner, yet another oc standing in front of me. "I have noticed that you are looking or something."He said."I want to get some glass. It is needed for me."I said."I can help you
THE NEXT DAYAT MICHAEL'S POV:In a morning I was already exhausted. I kept looking for some information, but I have found nothing. It made me more annoyed than before. I heard that fishing location is the same exact beach I went before so it is a good thing. Now I should look for a fishing rood in the town. I am not sure how I am going to be able to do it, but I am sure that I can make it work. I decided to look for needed wood first. Time was to check a zone near my forest. ---- The sun's just peeking over the horizon, casting a warm glow on the surroundings. Fishing seems like a solid plan to get food and also get some tasks done. I started my search for materials. Sturdy branches or sticks should serve as the backbone of my rod. Found a couple lying around—strong enough, I hope. From my past experiance I knew that weak one could snap easily. Time to find something for the line. Vines could work well, or maybe some fibers if I can find them. Ah, there we go, a few vines with enou
AT THE SAME EVENINGAT MICHAEL'S POV:The sun hangs low, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, casting a quiet ambiance over the landscape. This moment feels like a pause in the grand adventure and I know I have work to do. With fishing gear in hand, I found the perfect spot where the gentle waves kiss the shore. The sea breeze carries the faint scent of salt and seaweed, heightening my anticipation for what the ocean might offer today. I like weather like this and I started to get even more relaxed. The fishing rod rests comfortably in my hands, each subtle movement of the line translating into a potential encounter with the creatures of the ocean. "It seems that you still got nothing."An oc said."I stay here as long as I have too. I need to make it work."I said.Then, a suddenly I feel a tug on the line! My heart races with excitement, and I instinctively begin reeling it in. The resistance on the line tells me this isn’t an ordinary catch."I got something. Let me focus!
THE NEXT DAY AT MICHAEL'S POV: After eating some food I started looking at the fence blueprint. I want to make sure it does its job well and in recent travel finding this made my life slightly easier. "Hey, Michael, what do you make of this blueprint?" My friend's voice cuts through my concentration, pulling me back from the maze of lines. "It's the beginning of something great, I hope. Check out these dimensions—this fence is going to be solid, like a guardian around the whole place."I said. "Why you so excited about it?"Wanessa asked. I nod, excitement feeling in my chest. "It's more than just a fence. It's protection, a symbol of security for what's inside. It's like setting the boundary for a world of possibilities within our home." "You always add a touch of poetry to everything, Michael. But hey, count me in for building this fortress with you!"Wanessa said with an even more excited tone. I nodded and started discussing some things while I could see O
AT THE SAME EVENING AT MICHAEL'S POV: I packed some of the things needed to go there and I also checked the information I have got about this task and made some mental notes about it. 1. I need to finish it in less than 5 days and travel takes 1 day to each side. 2. I need 5 rolls of linen to complete it. 3. I need to go to the highlands for it. I smirked as soon as I got everything ready. I checked the map and it seems that it's pretty far towards the east side. I never been there before. I knew that I will go there as soon as possible. --- As soon as sun risen up I left towards the mountains. The mountains appeared in a few hours of walking, their peaks piercing the heavens, a silent invitation to explore realms unknown. With every step closer, the air grew crisper, carrying the scent of pine and cold. As I kept walking, the towering giants stood as sentinels, their rugged beauty commanding reverence. Each uneven slope and hidden crevice seemed to hol
IN A FEW HOURS AT MICHAEL'S POV:As soon as we got back home I started to work on building a gunsmith. It's going to take some time, but surprisingly I have got almost everything here with me. Back at my crafting table, I lay out the materials I've gathered—wood, ore, and coal—ready to begin construction. With deft fingers, I fashion the wooden frame of my gun-making device, reinforcing it with metal bars for strength.With a flick of a switch, the flames roar to life in the furnace, casting an orange glow across the workshop. I load the furnace with ore and coal, watching as they melt and merge into molten metal. With careful precision, I pour the liquid metal into molds, shaping it into ingots that will form the basis of my firearms. "It looks pretty hard."Wanessa said."It is but I can do it."I said and smiled.As the components take shape, I lay them out on the workbench, ready for assembly. With practiced hands, I fit each piece together, the familiar click of metal on metal mus
AT THE SAME TIMEAT MICHAEL'S POV:The next day I decided to visit that campsite location. It was obvious that I was able to go there for a good reason. "I can't wait to explore every nook and cranny of this place. Who knows what hidden treasures or exciting quests we might stumble upon?"Wanessa said with excitement."Agreed! But let's not forget to watch our backs. With such breathtaking scenery, I wouldn't be surprised if there are some tough challenges ahead."I said with concern in my voice. "You so focused, Michael. I am sure that we are going to have fun while finishing those missions ahead of us."Ophelia said.I sighed and nodded a bit. She was not wrong about that. One of the things I like about this old game is those chalanges ahead.After a few more hours of walking, we finally reached a campsite location. It's one of those 'safe zones' so I got pretty excited about it. "Ah, finally, a moment of respite in this bustling safe zone. Look at all the shops and vendors lining t
AT THE SAME TIMEAT MICHAEL'S POV:I was shocked to see crow's removal task in everything. I thought it would be fallen ones or something."I know that you surprised, but they are pretty strong in the bigger amounts and cause a lot of trouble for us."Leader said."I understand, but why others don't do it?"I asked."They don't have team like yours and thinks it's too small pay. They are in a forest not so far away from here. I can tell you can keep feathers. Meat is good too if you want it."She said.I got disgusted to think eating crows meat, but I felt it could be useful one way or another."I do it."I said."Good job."She said and smiled."10 copper coins for normal one and 1 silver coin for silver crow."I know what forest she is talking about. It's Highlands. It's more similiar to the mountains, but I can see familiar stuff. "How much exactly do you need for this task be completed?"I asked."10 crows if you find normal colour or 5 silver ones."She said. "I understood."I said and
AT THE SAME TIMEAT MICHAEL'S POV: I noticed that we got everything ready to go there in quite a short amount of time. I think we are ready to go to that cave. As I walked deeper into the forest, the dense roof above cast dappled shadows on the forest floor, and a cool breeze whispered through the leaves, carrying the scent of pine and earth. Lost in thought, I was startled when a voice called out from behind."Hey there! Mind if I join you?" Wanessa's voice cut through the quiet, his footsteps crunching the fallen leaves as he caught up to me."Not at all," I replied, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. "I was just enjoying the peacefulness of the forest." "Me too," Wanessa said, falling into step beside me. "There's something special about being surrounded by nature, isn't there?"I nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of camaraderie as we continued along the winding path. The forest seemed to embrace us, its ancient presence weaving a sense of wonder and awe around us."It
IN A MORNINGAT MICHAEL'S POV:It was pretty obvious that we are going to get attacked by 'fallen' tonight. I saw that we can finish house upgrades, so after eating I decided to do just that. Ophelia took care of the east side and Wnessa of vest side. I started looking for something to fight them off so I quickly went to my guild master."Fallen ones huh?"She asked."It seems that we are going to get attacked soon."I said."They are bad with fire and guns, but it's hard to get in such a short time. You can buy a weaker gun but it won't help much so you need to craft a dagger or something you can throw."He said."I think I do got a weapon from a last trip. It's big sword. I never used one before."I said.As soon as she saw it she nodded understandably. It seems that we got idea how I can fight back. "You got it when?"She asked."When I was looking for materials. In leftowers/refuge cave. I think I found it as a 'rare' item."I said. I sighed and nodded a bit. It seems that this sword
AT MORNINGAT MICHAEL'S POV:All of us decided to go to the library. It was time for me to get some information about Crossbow and it sounded like a good idea to get something like that."I heard it's pretty old place."Wanessa said."It is old, but I like it."I said."I can tell you like places like this. I think it's also because you enjoy working on things like that. It makes sense."Ophelia said."I guess you not so wrong about it."I said.I kept walking with them and soon we reached the library. It was like a first time, but I liked that about it. I knew already to go to look for some information. "We are here. I am going to the protection section here."I said."I am going to look around first."Wanessa said.I nodded and left. I wonder what Ophelia decided to do, but I liked the current situation. It sounded like something I was already used to."I think that we should find it here."I said. "We need weapon blueprint this time or something close to it."I was looking around and sur
AT THE SAME TIMEAT MICHAEL'S POV: It seems that I should give them these gifts before doing anything else. Later I should get some money. I need to get a sewing machine and loom upgrade to the final level. I took out those two bracelets and handed to them."For you."I said.I saw how they smiled and hugged me."Thank you."Wanessa said and kissed my cheek."Thank you."Ophelia did the same thing.It seems my plan was working pretty well. It was time to work on my sewing mashine and a loom. I was happy to see that now I needed to make sure everything going on very well. I decided to check a list of ingredients needed for the upgrade and it made sense that it would take a while to get everything needed. I wanted to make sure that I had got everything at once, so it became easier for me."Where are you going?"Wanessa asked."I am going for a walk. I need to go to the omega's guild for now. I need some information."I said in a pretty chill tone."It seems that you are thinking good for a
AT THE SAME TIMEAT MICHAEL'S POV:At morning I have decided to get the needed materials and then to do other things. I am not sure about a third item, but there is a chance that I might have something like this at home. I checked my items inside chests and found out that I needed to get them to work, so I could do what I needed at that moment. It made sense that I would be working on it for a while and I understand it perfectly. I decided to check if I got the simplest things first. It would make sense to check stuff like that and I was ready for it. Wood, check. Iron ore, check. String or wine, check. One thing is I missing a material to use for a magnet and I have decided to look for it.----As I checked my map and found out that I should go to the location that is pretty far from my home, but if it's needed I am going to get it. I want to have it and my plan is to make sure that I can keep going about it. As soon as I left my home I could feel that Wanessa and Ophelia were upset
IN A WEEKAT MICHAEL'S POV: I'd noticed Wanessa's distress during her heat and, now that it had passed, I was determined to help her recover. I thought Ophelia might also need my help. I approached her dwelling, my heart pounding with a mix of worry and determination. Knocking gently on the door, I waited, hoping she'd welcome my presence."Michael?" Her voice held a soft tremor as she opened the door, her eyes still carrying leftovers of the storm she'd weathered during her heat. I hope that she is feeling better now."May I come in?" I asked, trying to mask my concern with a gentle smile.I saw how she opened the door and I saw Ophelia who was sitting on the bed and it seems that she is also not feeling her best even tho a week passed. I wonder if my gift will help them."I brought something for you," I said, presenting a small bundle wrapped in cloth. "It's a blend of calming herbs. It might help soothe your nerves and aid in your recovery."I said.Wanessa's eyes widened in surpri
