[Welcome to the Shop!]
[To unlock all features, you need to buy a builder.]
[Would you like to use 200 Shards to purchase a builder?]
Raising an eyebrow, Neil wondered what it actually meant by that.
At least he now knew that the Shards were really going to be used in the shop.
After a moment, Neil replied with a 'yes'.
[Congratulations, you have purchased a builder!]
Neil looked around but there was nothing, but then Nemo's voice sounded in his head.
"Master, I can sense a change outside in the lawn."
Neil stepped off the circular stone and made his way out of his new house.
And there he saw a dwarf, dressed in leather clothes, with long black hair and beard.
The man was carrying a big bag on his back, which was filled an axe, hammer, wood and all sorts of tools and materials.
It was twice his own size.
"Greetings Lord, I am Bob, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your domain."
Setting his bag aside, Bob bowed deeply and respectfully before Neil.
"…Well hello there." Neil curiously observed Bob the builder, there wasn't much info on his status panel.
Except the fact he was dead loyal to Neil.
"So uh… where did you come from?" he asked.
"My lord, I have no previous memories." Bob answered, straightening up.
He only possessed knowledge of his talent and the dwarf mother tongue.
But with the translator, Neil could understand him just fine.
"Master, normally soldiers and other useful beings or resources are obtained through loots, and these people are kind of fresh souls." Nemo explained, all other lords weren't as lucky as him.
They have no past. Though no one knew much about it.
But people believed that when they were summoned, a soul with no previous memories is put in a new body.
"Welcome to the Graveyard, Bob."
Neil was quite intrigued, it really felt like he was playing a real life game.
Then he questioned: "Hmm so what can you create?"
"Thank you, my lord. You can check the main creations in the shop, aside from them I can create anything simple you order me to."
Bob answered, pulling his hammer from the bag and putting it over his shoulder, giving a pose.
"Also, you can access the shop from anywhere now, whatever building or other things you want to build, I will get it ready as soon as possible." He added.
Neil nodded and opened the shop directly, finally there were many options.

Neil scrolled through the shop, he wasn't sure so much would even fit in his territory, it seemed he would have to increase the area soon.
The lawn and the building altogether made his domain, he wished he could just take more area from outside his lawn.
But back on Zoratian planet, he would just be wasting resources.
The domains are always protected by an invisible barrier against various factors such as the spores from the Phantom planet.
Not to mention, there is a big reason why no one could just claim the land around their domain and use it freely.
"I have 1600 Shards, 1000 will go to barrack, I need kitchen too and the walls, let's take it one step at a time." Neil pondered to himself.
Killing those creatures could earn him the Shards, killing Diamond got him 800 Shards.
So now he needed to go out and hunt them to get as many Shards as possible.
Since he was sent here by the Lizzard race, his domain would be connected to the Lizzard establishment.
Which means even after returning he wouldn't be free.
"I don't know what will happen once we leave, so let's prepare as much as we can before leaving."
After making up his mind, Neil looked back at the shop interface and purchased the kitchen which was of highest importance right now.
[You have purchased the Kitchen]
[800 Shards used.]
[Shards: 800]
He still wasn't sure how this was all going to work but was excited nonetheless.
"My lord, I will prepare the kitchen as fast as possible, also I need two hours to build my hut."
Bob informed, happy to be the first subject in his lord's territory, of course Magnar excluded.
The familiar was just different.
"Alright, after your hut is finished, you can start working on the kitchen."
Neil nodded, now that he was done with all this, it was time to go out and hunt.
It was not as easy for the other lords, they have to kill different creatures and hope to get good loots but still wouldn't get such good items.
"Yes, my lord." Bob nodded, before questioning:
"Where should I build my hut and the kitchen?"
"Build your hut there, on the right of the domain. As for the kitchen, just put it on the left side of the core building." Neil instructed, the whole building was called the core building.
"Alright, just wait for the wonderful results, lord, I will get it ready in less than 10 hours." Bob took his bag and walked towards the instructed area.
Neil didn't go out immediately and waited a little to see him work.
And then, from his bag, Bob began to pull out stuff magically.
All the raw material he needed, even things way bigger like the bed were pulled out under Neil's surprised gaze.
Finally, he decided to let his new and only subject do his work, and go for hunting.
Thankfully, unlike the Zoratian planet this small realm had no nights, so the danger remained the same.
"Hoo, let's go and find some beasts or maybe… Phaged." Mumbling to himself, he got ready to leave.
Neil left behind some food and water for Bob, which were already running out.
Stepping out of his domain and into the forest once again, Neil felt the coldness but his battle suit kept him warm.
"Magnar, it's time to hunt."
Hearing its name, the familiar blinked open its eyes and yawned, finally out of sleep.
"…" Pushing the ground with one feet, Neil jumped over two meters easily, with just one Diamond class gene point his strength had increased quite a bit.
Though his chances of defeating a Gold class beast or Phaged alone would still be low.
"Magnar, Nemo, search for any creatures around me."
"On it, master." Instantly, four drones flew out from his battle suit, disappearing into different directions.
Purrrrr…
Magnar finally became active, jumping away from his shoulder, the small kitten climbed to the highest point of the tree.
Then it let its senses cover a wider region, using more than its ears and eyes.
After almost five seconds, Magnar jumped back to his shoulder, then it pointed in a direction with its paw.
Mew Mew!
Neil couldn't exactly understand that language but clearly got the meaning.
Magnar had just found two silver class and one bronze class beast, moving in a group.
"Alright, let's go, Nemo continue with the search."
Neil rushed forward, taking out the axe and the knife from the storage. He jumped from tree to tree, following his familiar's instructions.
