《Otherworld?》Chapter 7: Let's Build Stuff
Advertisement
I woke up really early today since I couldn't get that much sleep because I was too excited about the idea I had yesterday.
I started off my day with a hearty breakfast and then went off to train. I walked over to the other side of the lake where I was before.
The usual, more of those fuzzballs showed up. I've collected quite a bit of furballs already. After I killed another one,
*Ding*
[ Leveled up! ] +10 Stat Points
You have reached Level 10! You've unlocked a [ New Skills: Items Creation ]
“No way! Just when I thought of using wood to create stuff, now this showed up. Perfect timing~!”
I opened my status and clicked on the Items Creation Skill.

“Now it's Sims! What kind of mixed up game is this?! Hahahah” I laughed while checking the rest of the list. It's really convenient. It has everything you need!
“I wonder If it's a unique cheat skill just for me or is it normal to have this here? I can't really confirm this though, unless I meet someone from this world.”
I continued walking and met a few more of those fuzzballs. I finally made it to the other side. The walls, vines and platform I made were still there. It looks like the ice sculpture's already melted.
I wonder if I can make these things disappear. Let's try touching the wall and imagine it vanishing. I walked over to the vine wall and touch it. I thought of making it disappear and all of a sudden, it went *Poof* with a cloud of smoke and it was gone. That was weird but cool!
*Ding*
[ New Skill: Erase ]
“Hahahaha~ it's so easy to create a new skill here.” I half-heartedly laugh.
“Although, I think I should be careful with this one. I can imagine situations going south if I use it accidentally and erase something I shouldn't have.” I muttered to myself.
I walked over and did the same to the other walls, platform and vines. Now that I've got an open space again. I should try that new skill that I just got.
I opened the Items Creation Menu and selected the Small Room.
Small Room
Square Room
[ 1m x 1m ] [ 2m x 2m ] [ 3m x 3m ]
[ 4m x 4m ] [ 5m x 5m ] [ 10m x10m ]
Rectangular Room
[ 1.5m x 3m ] [ 1.5m x 5m ] [ 3m x 5m ]
[ 3m x 10m ] [ 5m x 10m ] [ 5m x 20m ]
I selected the smallest rectangular room from the list.
Small Room
- 1.5m x 3m wooden room with 1 door and 1 window.
Would you like to build this using 150 MP and 3000 Gìl?
[ Yes ] [ No]
“So it cost quite a bit of MP and Gìl. I don't really wanna waste my money on this right now but I really want to make a bathroom though...” I sighed.
“Ah~ screw it! Let's make it. But I think I should build it at my camp instead just in case I can't put it in my [IS]... Let's go back.”

I clicked [ No ] for now and walked back to the camp while killing more fuzzballs along the way. After I reached the camp, I put away the tent, table and chair, and dug out the barrier stones.
“There should be enough space now.”
I opened the menu and selected the room again and decided to build it where the tent was. A bright light in the shape of a room showed up in front of me and it slowly fades. What was left was the room that I just built. It has a door on the right side and a window on the left side.
I went inside and it looks like it was all build with wood except the window. It was actually a vertical, wood framed thick glass that swings outwards when you open it. The floor's hardwood and was darker than the walls.
“I can probably make this into a bathroom.”
I went outside again to try something.
I placed my hand on it and try to put it in the storage. It started glowing and it disappeared.
“Yes! I'm glad I can take it with me and didn't waste my money on it. I didn't wanna leave it here when I decide to leave this place.”
“Next, I should build a bigger one for a bedroom.”
I opened the menu again and selected the [ 3m x 5m ] room. It cost 300 MP and 8000 Gìl. It showed up in front of me like the other one but it was much bigger this time. It has 1 door on the right side and 2 windows placed on opposite sides. I went inside and it has similar layout but with 2 windows instead.
I felt a little tired all of a sudden. I used up quite a bit of MP. I think I should rest for a bit and have lunch before continuing. I should also take some MP potions.
I set up the table and chair right in front of the house and took out some food. I also took out one of the medium MP potion.
“It's purple, I wonder if it taste like grapes.”
I took off the cork and chugged it down. My body started feeling warm and I felt that my tiredness just melted away. I checked my status and my MP was full again.
“It really tasted like grape juice.” as I looked at the bottle again before putting it away.
Out of curiosity, I also took out an HP potion. It's red so I expected it to taste like cherry or strawberry juice or something. I wonder what would happen if I drink it with full HP.
“I'll try it out later when I actually need it.” I said in a low voice while putting it back in the storage. I started eating my lunch while contemplating on what I should build next.
I decided on a bed and mattress. I check the requirements and the bedframe cost 30 MP and 300 Gìl while the mattress needs more than MP and Gìl.
Mattress
50 MP • 500 Gìl • Furballs x 100
Would you like to build this item?
[ Yes ] [ No ]
I think I have more than enough furballs for this but I need to double check my storage first. I opened my [IS] and found 287 of them. Awesome! I have enough for more than 1. I was lucky that there were a lot of fuzzball around here.
I finished eating my lunch and went inside the room that I just built. I walked over to the left side and decided to build the bedframe there. I selected the build option and it showed up right in front of me but there was some gap from wall. I should move it closer to the wall later. It looks about the size of a double bed.

I did the same with the mattress and it appeared right on top of the bedframe. Convenient... that word popped into my head again. I smiled and felt like I was playing Sims with this.
Now that I have a place to sleep, I needed some blanket and a couple pillows. I have a small thin blanket that I brought with me for camping but I don't have a pillow. I was using that makeshift t-shirt pillow stuffed with furballs before but if there's an option to build one, I should try it.
I looked at my options and found them. The blanket cost 10 MP, 30 Gìl and 30 furballs. The pillows cost 5 MP, 20 Gìl and 15 furballs each. I have enough for both so I made them right away. The pillows were nice and soft and the blanket was so fluffy and warm.
After building the bed, there doesn't seem to be a lot of space left. I moved it over so that it's touching the wall. I then placed a small square dining table and a chair on the right side as my eating area.
Now for the bathroom, I need to think of how am I going to build the toilet and tub connected to a small septic tank.
“I don't think that room I built before is going to work. I should just build it from scratch.”
I went outside of the bedroom and walked a little further to the left. I dug out about a meter in width and 1.5 meters in height and made a solid rock bottom and walls on each sides. I divided it into 2 chambers with a hole at the bottom of the middle wall. I also left a hole on the right side for drainage of water.
| |_____||_______
| || |
| || =

_______________
I covered it up and left a 5 inches hole for the toilet and about 1 inch drainage hole for the bath.
I also added some wood flooring on top of the tank and made it bigger, enough to fit a small bathtub and a toilet. I build some walls surrounding the floor and an opening wide enough for anyone to go through. I also put 4 2x4" post, 3 inches in height on each corner on top of the walls and placed a wooden roof on it. There should be enough gap there to air out the bathroom.
For the toilet, it cost 20 MP and 200 Gìl and for the bathtub, it cost 30 MP and 300 Gìl. I placed them lining up with the drainage holes. They're both made from wood. The toilet was just a simple toilet seat with a hole in the middle and no water tank. The bathtub was rectangular with a small hole on one side with a plug.
Now for the door, I don't really know how to build hinges and I don't have the materials for it. It's not in the list either so I ended up putting a bar on top, attached to the walls. I hanged a wood panel big enough to cover the entrance using rope that can slide to the side when opening.
“That should do for now.” I gave myself props for being able to create a makeshift bathroom just like that. I was somewhat satisfied with the result.
Now, to test if I can put this whole thing in the [IS] including the septic tank. I placed my hand on the wall and imagined it going in the storage but nothing happened. I tried again but it failed.
“Damn. That sucks! I worked so hard on this and I can't even take it with me.” I sighed.
“Oh well, at least I didn't spend that much money on this. I guess I can use it again later when I go back here for camping or fishing.” I sighed again.
It's getting late again. It took me all day to build all this but it was worth it. I need to set the barrier stones before it gets too dark. I placed them around the bedroom and another set surrounding the bathroom.
I want to try having a hot bath for once since I haven't done that since I got trapped here. I went to the toilet first and did the usual business... and I used "Clean" afterwards. I put away all my equipment and use "Water Fill" to fill up the tub while checking and adjusting the temperature as necessary. I waited for a bit to make sure the tub wasn't leaking. I removed all my clothes and went in.
“Ahhhh~ Finally, a nice hot bath to relax after a long day's work.”
I sounded like an old person who just came home from working all day. Well, I really did work all day though.
After a while of soaking, I noticed that it has gotten darker. The bath water turned a little colder so I decided to leave. I got up and wrapped myself in a towel before removing the plug in the bathtub.
“The water is draining properly. That's good~”
I put on a new set of clothes and went out of the bathroom. I went into the bedroom and turned on a lantern. I checked the time and it's already 6pm.
I sat down on the chair and took out some food and started eating my dinner before heading to bed.
As I lay down on the bed, I thought
“I can finally sleep in a really nice and comfortable bed. It's so warm and comfy!” I rolled halfway back and forth as I cuddled my new fluffy pillow. I wrapped myself in the blanket and finally dozed off.
The next morning, I woke up early and refreshed. I decided it's time to go since there's nothing else I wanted to do here.
I wanted to meet the people living in this world and see the towns. I wonder if I can understand the language. I have so many questions about this world so the best thing I can do is to look for answers by myself, since there's no one who's going to help me.
I stretched my arms out as I got out of bed. I had another big breakfast to start my day.
I equip myself with the usual armor and decided to keep my gun. I took out a 1H Sword this time instead of a dagger. At least it has better reach and probably would be more useful for me. I placed them both on my belt and left the room.
I stored the bedroom and dug up the barrier stones around it. I decided to leave the stone around the bathroom.
If another person used this bathroom, I thought that it would really be shitty to get attack while crapping. Hahaha~ I'm not that heartless to leave people hanging.
I opened my status and confirmed that my MP is full again. I opened the map to verify the direction I have to go.
I double checked the area just in case I might've missed something. There was nothing left except for the bathroom which I couldn't take with me so I decided to leave then.
“Goodbye lake~ Hopefully I'll be back to go fishing again one of these days.” I said while walking away from the camp. I looked back one last time before I started walking in the forest.
