《Settlement of Safehaven - A Hearthtree Series》Chapter Twenty Six. Kara the Crafter?
Advertisement
She is no longer having to breastfeed her child after being in Safehaven for over a month. Kora feels relief, and she does love her child what little a goblin mother would know what love is because most goblin children rarely survive their first year to adulthood. Only then they are given a name. No, she is not attached to her children, but something in her tells her that she should do more since she arrives at Safehaven. She is looking around the hovel that she shares with Tarla and several of the children. Rabbits furs are pile everywhere sitting there and staring at the rabbit furs that she tans one sun ago. A feeling of frustration and anger build in her stomach until she flings all the furs as far from her as possible. Whimper when she realizes a needle was stuck in her finger. She pulled out the needle and started sucking on her finger as she jumped up and fled her home. Kora started walking toward the sea stopping a good two hundred feet away from shore. Staring at the waves as they crash to shore.
Hearing one of the adventures playing the lute she is drawn to the sound of the music. Over the last two weeks, it was the only thing that seems to calm her. She hated tailoring! Hates leatherworking! Twice this week she has been prompt to take a crafter class each time swiping it away in frustration. Just because she was the youngest of the four, they push off the crafting skill on her. She hates being coop up inside all day and night working on furs and leathers. She rather listens to the stories and music of the adventures. No, she not brave like they are that want to slay monsters and go into dungeons. She wants to listen to the stories like the one Tarla tells her from books she had read. Learning to read has been a joy to her when she has time for it.
Reaching down and grabbing a rock tossing it hard toward the sea, screaming in frustration wanting more to be happy to be not just a crafter! Turning and seeing a couple of adventurers looking for her, she begins to blush. Embarrassment she ran toward the wayside. Stopping outside of the Temple as the doors open the hairs on her arms roses as she stares into the temple interior.
“I will not hurt you little one.” a woman's voice flows out of the temple.

Looking around to see if the voice was talking to someone else she hesitantly move toward the door. Standing inside is Frigga waves of love seem to flow from her, something she always thought she lack. The thought of fleeing from this feeling washes over her as the woman crouch and touch her head softly.
“Kora of Safehaven. Mother of two, forager 3, Tailoring 2, Leatherworking 2. You are not happy. It would seem you have never been happy.” Frigga touches the scars on Kora' hands and arms. "I heard your prayer.”
“My prayer? I not pray.” looking surprised.
“Oh, but you did. You ask to be something more than a crafter. So what do you want to be Kora?” she asked.
The Sound of the distance lute and the laughter of the adventures once again reach her. “I want to be able to hear and listen to music and stories, to... be happy.”
"I see,” looking toward the sound of the adventurers.
A quest pop up.
Quest Learn a new Class.
Learn to brew Goblin ale.
Learn to cook Crab Stew.
Learn to play the lute.
Learn to care for others: Completed.
Learn housekeeping skill: Completed.
Complete these task to earn a reward and a Class.
Do you accept? Yes/No?
Kora's eyes grew big seeing a quest screen for the first time. Looking around and not seeing Frigga, the excitement of a new class.
“Yes.” She squeaked. Staggering out of the Temple she looking for Thomas, a berserker class player. He arrived with the others after the Bandit Raid and started brewing beer. If anyone knows what Goblin Ale was he should know. After a few minutes asking several adventures where Thomas is she found him working on some ales. After started explaining to a six foot Viking berserker that she had a Quest to make goblin ale and need his help to learn the skill to make Goblin ale.
Thomas scratches his head while in thought. “Ya going to need to learn to brew. I not heard of Goblin ale but if you learn the skill, it may pop up in your recipes when you get the skill.”
“You teach Kora to brew?” she asked wide-eyed.
Thomas stood there and stare at her. Blinking for a few minutes then lead her to a spot and start pulling stuff out of a large bag. “Okay, this here is a Brew barrel you need this to brew in.” pointing at a small table with a large barrel and several smaller one on the table with copper wires. "This is my portable one.”

She stared at the table with reverence.
“You will need hops, yeast, and water.” Laying out a pile of hops and a small bag of yeast and a jug of water. “Step forward and touch the table.” He said.
She touches the table, and a prompt appears. Showing five boxes and a confirm and cancel button.
“You see the boxes?” She nodded wide-eyed.
“Okay now put one of each into a box,” he said.
She slowly put the Hops in one box the yeast in another and a jug in the third. She nods as she turns to look at Thomas.
“Press confirm button,” he responds.
Clicking confirm. The box disappears and in her hand was a jug of Ale.
You have received the Brewing Skill!
Congratulation you made Ale!
Kora's eyes grew wider when she realized she got the skill. “I got Brewing Skill!” jumping up and down.
Thomas Chuckle as the goblin dancing with joy. “Alright, Touch the table and a list should show up.”
She stops dancing and touch the table again and see a list.
Ale 5
Root beer 5
Goblin Ale 5
Red Berry wine. 5
The rest all Grey out and faded. “I see Goblin Ale!”
“Now touch the Goblin ale.” Chuckling at her childlike joy.
Kora touches the Goblin Ale another screen appears.
Goblin Ale Recipe. Hops, goblin sweat. Armpit yeast and a jug of water.
Highlighting the armpit yeast to figure out what it means, it said it is made from the yeast under the armpits of goblin.
- 1 MIND, -1 JUDGMENT, + 1 MIGHT.
She read off the recipe to Thomas who almost gagged.
“Oh I going to need to clean the brew barrel after this.” he groans palming his face.
“Be back. You wait!” She takes off running and finds two of the goblin teen playing. Taking a small pouch and scrap off the yeast from under both the teens' armpit. She then ran into the hovel for a small clay vial and had all the kids run around for ten minutes and wring their shirts out, filling the vial with sweat and heading back to the Brew table seeing Thomas leaning again the table waiting. She put both items on the table, and he inspects them both almost gag again.
Taking a deep breath, he put a jug of water on the table and wave over to the Brew table for her to start.
She touches the table again as the recipes appear. She picks Goblin Ale and placing each of the items it requested into their boxes and press confirm.
Congratulation you made Goblin Ale!
Goblin Ale 1/1.
Dancing she hug Thomas's Right Thigh. “Thank you! Thank you!” Stepping back now the lute!
The lute, Well it became a bit of challenge for her. Roy the Black Hand was a lute player; she did not figure out why he was called Black Hand. He was a gnome and had white hands. He refuses to teach Kara for several days. Until on the fifth day she lay out a complete set of Rabbit Fur, hat, coat, gloves, pants, and fur-lined boots. Roy was drooling over the full set of clothes. Six days later and many countless hours and tired people at the settlement. Kora got Lute as a skill much to the relief of everyone in Safehaven.
Lute Playing level one.
Lute playing 1/1.
After getting crab meat, carrots, and potatoes, while destroying about twelve bowls Kora finally got the cooking skill to level one and a bowl of Crab Soup.
Crab Soup 1/1.
She went to the temple. Bowing before the image of Frigga she hears a voice.
“Well done,” Frigga said.
Congratulation! For unlocking the Innkeeper Class. Do you Accept? Yes/No?
“Innkeeper, what that?” Kora asks puzzled.
A female voice laughs in the temple. “An Innkeeper runs a place where adventurers stay for a day or even weeks where you serve them food and ale. Music and stories are told or playing — rumors of dungeons and adventuring. If you accept little one, you will be in the center of the adventurers. That is unless another Inn is built and try to draw away your people.” Frigga joyfully laughs at the look of rapture on Kora's face.
“Yes!” she shouts.

The Dweeb Prince and the Eight Cursed Princesses
Prince, despite his name, was more of a dweeb high school student, who often spends his free time reading instead of socializing. One day, he discovered a secret section of the library, and in it was a mysterious book.Then, his careless action of opening it unleashed eight curses of the different princesses living in the book. Those curse will jinx his fellow female schoolmates so each of them would suffer a tragic end.But hope remains, in the form of a fairy called Pixie. Together, Prince and Pixie will track down each individual possessed by the curse and guide them to their story's happy conclusions instead of the tragic ones. With that, Prince will have to deal with classic fairy tales such as Snow White, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, and others in a modern setting. Note: The 'HAREM' tag doesn't mean that the MC will explicitly enter a polygamous relationship with multiple girls. The tag was added because this story involves encountering and dealing with different girls without entering the dating relationship. So yeah, this is more like the harem tag in anime rather than the harem tag explained here in RR. Releases a chapter every Sunday.
