Chapter 17 - Monster-invested base

(A/N Majority of this volume is gonna be time skips although it is important.)

I immediately began walking to a very familiar place. The place where this story all started.

The great forest of Jura. I began stretching out my universal sense, which allowed me to get a literal mental map of the area around me.

I began walking with determination to my destination, 'wait a sec, I could just teleport.'

———————————————

I teleported to the outside of a massive forest, 'Jeez, this place is huge!'

I slowly began walking into the forest, which I could immediately sense a pair of eyes on me but I didn't mind it, I knew that the only threat in this forest was Veldora and he's currently sealed away, so there's nothing that can really threaten me in this forest… for now.

As I was walking, I was dazed by the foliage around me, 'This place is beautiful.'

Suddenly a pack of direwolfs jumped out at me. I could feel those pair of eyes grow worried for my safety. I simply looked into that direction and smiled, in which those eyes grew surprise.

"Hey, where you smiling at, it be better if you did that in my stomach instead." The direwolves instantly rushed and encircled me, I dodged every single one of their jaws. I simply flew back with my hands in my pocket, dodging and blocking everything they can use on me.

"You're not gonna fight us? You're just begging to be prey?"

"Are you just doing this because you're hungry?"

"Huh… well obviously."

"Well why didn't you say so." After I said that, I pulled up my sleeve and ripped my arm off. The wolves were confused by this but then surprised when it just regenerated back.

I kept on doing this, ripping off and regenerating, "ok, go ahead and eat." The direwolves were confused but delighted, as I rolled my sleeve back up, they gorged themselves on the pile of dismembered arms.

I left them to their devices and walked off into a silent area, I had finally decided to address the individual, " You know I've already found you. Please come out.'

Suddenly a beautiful green haired women materialised Infront of me, "Hello human, may I ask for your name."

" Simon, and you're Treyni right, I've heard about the dryads of the great forest of Jura. Can you please tell me what you want, it's rare for Dryads to show themselves to others unless they want something." I looked to the Dryad with slight confusion.

" I was simply confused by your aura, it's… non-existent." Treyni inquired about my missing spiritual pressure, 'oh, I forgot about the magic circuit I inserted in myself…that's sounds so wrong.'

" Don't worry about that, that's by design. If it's not a problem, can this humble human build a house in the forest of Jura?"

Treyni was taken aback by this question, a human… creating a home here… in the forest of Jura… one of the most dangerous and monster invested places in the world, " Sir I'd like you to reconsider-"

" You do not need to worry about my safety… I might not be the strongest but I'm fairly certain that I can defend myself against anything in the forest… well except for Veldora that is." I saw the worry on her face and reassured her. The worry on her face didn't go away, why in the fuck would anyone ever choose a place like this, even if monsters weren't a threat, living in a place filled with them would make them a constant nuisance.

"Oh I see, you're not just worried about me but also about the population of the forest, am I correct?"

"…" Treyni nodded her hard with a face filled with confusion and concern.

"What if I had a method that would prevent me to build a stable home that would not get attacked and prevent me and monsters from being harmed." I smiled as I announced my proposal.

" Well I believe, based on your performance and decisions against the direwolves, that you clearly capable of preventing harm between you and other races. What I am confused about is how you would create a safe home with just yourself?"

" Treyni if you would be so kind as to show me a viable area to create a home. The area doesn't have have suitable terrain or clearing of trees, just anywhere you want me to be." Treyni didn't trust the human yet but not killing those direwolves, she had to show her own bit of good faith, and she was quite curious to what he was about to do.

Treyni immediately started walking which I followed, the vines at her feet following along with her, we stopped and she turned around to me, " Will this be ok?"

" Yes, this will be good." I snapped my fingers which caused the ground to rumble and reshape into a flat area. The trees instantly cleared with the wood and fruit neatly arranged into separate piles. Finally in the clearing formed a white, machine-like laboratory.

Treyni's eyes twitched at what just happened, abilities like these weren't uncommon but they weren't common either What was even weirder though was that it looked like he used three individual abilities in perfect tandem with each other without having to chant, it didn't even seem like he lost a lot of magicules, "How impressive."

When she looked over to him, he was holding two devices, first was the mana reactor™ connected to a hourglass looking machine, "This right here is a magicule breeder reactor which essentially uses the magicules in the air and multiples it, and that connects to this barrier generator which should be self explanatory."

Treyni looked bewildered, an artifact that can breed magicules? Where the hell did he find such a thing, "Mr. Simon, where did you find such an artifact?"

"I made it. If you want I can make some for you, it wouldn't be that much effort." He talked about creating magicule generating artifact like it's nothing.

"Um then, can I get one?" Treyni asked with apprehension, not fully believing his words.

That was until the man created five for her on the spot.

"Ok then, I welcome you to the forest of Jura."
