《Grinding in Vast Martial World》Chapter 3

“Wait resources Why haven’t I checked those yet” I said as I face palmed. “Let’s see here we got a leafy thing at +2, a log at+7, a stone brick at +1 , a smile face with horns at +1, and another face at 100.
The other two were Aibu Kata a middle aged oni with severale scars, who wanted to send hunting parties out but needed the stone and wood to make weapons and Ms. Yanasaki Asami a older oni with the nicest pelts, who wanted to trade stone and herbs for better weapons and armor.
“So I have to talk to each and tell them weather we can or can’t do what they want, and if I say something bad they might get angry.”
First miss Asami.
‘ I thank you greatly for your idea but first we need a roof over our heads before we can worry about trade. But once we are able to do so we will certainly begin trading’
Now than mister Kata
‘I’m afraid we can’t risk our young in hunting yet. We are to few perhaps instead we focus on trapping small animals for the time and then move to larger game once we have roofs over our heads’
Finally
‘truly great minds think alike I was about to recommend this myself but I do have one request. Build the homes so as we can salvage the materials easily once we can build even better houses in the future.’
With a large smile on the older oni’s face they constructed five wooden houses around the camp fire each one had a different name over it. Aibu, Nakasato, Kojima, Yanasaki, and Teshigahara.
“So you guys have already split into your own family groups,” This might be troublesome later if they start a feud. But there was also really good news my horned smile faces increased to +3 which I’m pretty sure means I get more oni. So now I have a population of 21 oni. Wait a timer 59:43. So I have an hour until the next major decision.

“Uh this is gonna be boring.” As I stared at the screen I noticed a mostly transparent question mark.
As I clicked it there was a little gold sparkle and the view changed to show the back of my long house. A little oni girl the same one that had built the fire pit sat there shivering despite what looked like a warm summer afternoon on the screen. I clicked the blue exclamation point above her head.
In every sect there are moments that define what it will become. Some sects go onto greatness, while others disappear from the annals of history. Others will continue as they were, but even then, some are slowly devoured from the inside while drifting forward based on inertia while others are slowly building up energy to explode into greatness. In those moments, leadership becomes pivotal.
In This “moment of fate” a young girl shivers in the warmth and the world stills for just a moment. How will you, as the wounded ancient of the Ivory Oni sect, respond? Hopefully you have prepared well.
During “moments of fate”, Face is an important resource. It will become more or less effective depending on your relationship with who you use it to affect. At the end of the “moment of fate” some Face may be earned based on the outcome.
This message is the last of the hints you shall receive as a new player of Vast Martial World. Further mechanics were not included and the beta, and current players may discover their wonders together. Good luck, and may you have many fortuitous encounters.
“Ah what do I do um a um,” I clicked the face and a new menu popped up. “ I need something ahh warmth no a blessing yes,”
“There’s to many” I yelled after scrolling down to the B’s “ Wait what if I do this one” I clicked on an option that seamed almost perfect.
Anoint Dao child-75 face a Dao child is a part of an ancestor. Their power grows great with this blessing and they champion their sect
“Yes please work” My screen still framed.

Neo just wants it all to end, but right when he worked up the guts to put his actions where his mouth is, Calo show's up to save the day, and maybe his week. And who knows, maybe even his life.
