The days blur together as we push forward with our work. The sound of hammers, axes, and saws has become a constant companion in the otherwise peaceful forest. We're no longer just surviving—we're building something significant, something that will last.
Lira is constantly moving between the trees, her arms full of resources. I can see the determination in her every step. She never complains, never hesitates. Every piece of wood, every stone she carries feels like a contribution to our future, to the land we're creating together.
I glance over to Aric, his sharp eyes scanning the horizon. He's always alert, a quiet figure standing guard while the rest of us work. His presence gives me a sense of security. I know that as long as he's watching, we're safe to build, to grow.
I've decided. We're going to build 20 houses. That's the first real step toward a true settlement. It's ambitious, but with our resources growing, and gold coming in steadily, I can make it happen.

I check the system again. We have enough resources for another house, and our gold is steadily accumulating with every completed house. We've built three houses so far, and as each one is finished, the land feels a little more like home.

Lira and I work side by side, making quick progress on the next house. Each one feels a little faster than the last, as we get into a rhythm. I'm amazed by how much we can accomplish in a single day. Aric continues to stand guard, always vigilant, but there's no threat in sight. The forest remains calm, and the land is quiet.

The gold comes in faster now, and as we complete houses, the gold rewards seem to multiply. With 7 houses done, we're already at 210 gold—enough to build a good portion of the remaining homes.

We've reached the halfway point. The land is beginning to fill up, and with every completed house, the village takes shape. There's a growing sense of pride in me, something I didn't expect to feel so soon. I've got land, a shelter, and a small village taking form. It's not just a space; it's something living, something we're all creating together.

I can see it now. The final stretch. The last few houses to be completed. I look around at the nearly finished village—17 houses, 3 more to go. The space is starting to feel filled, like a real settlement, and it's almost surreal.
Lira moves quickly, her hands never stopping, while Aric continues his vigilant watch. They are both crucial to this effort, and without them, this would be impossible. Aric's presence is the foundation of our safety, and Lira's diligence is the reason our village grows.

We finish the 18th house, and I feel a rush of pride. The land is no longer just a place—it's becoming a community.
Aric, standing guard in the distance, notices my gaze on him. "The place is shaping up, Darius," he says with a small smile. "It's looking like a proper village."
I nod, grateful for his steady watch. "We're almost there," I reply. "Just a few more."

With the 19th house complete, it's hard to deny the truth: we're building something real. These houses are more than just structures; they represent everything we've done, everything we've worked for. We've reached a tipping point, and now we just need the final push to finish.

We've done it. 20 houses. The village is complete. The land is no longer empty; it's filled with homes, potential, and the promise of what comes next. The gold continues to flow in, and I feel the weight of it, the weight of everything we've accomplished together.
