《What in the World?》Chapter 3

"Max!"
Jolted awake I could hear Maine's voice from outside the hut. I hurriedly came out from the hut only to see three to four wheelbarrows were being used by the young people, carrying from fruits to stones and wood for construction.
"George said you made this yesterday, Where did you learn this from? Don't tell me you are from the capital?" I heard from Gerrart the other day that in the capital of the Kingdom of Mercia there were those people who invented things that were called Royal Inventors but they were extremely few of them.
These Royal Inventors were in charge of innovation and revolutionary technology for the kingdom and they were also only granted the title of Royal Inventors by the king itself. They were countless inventions made by the Royal Inventors such as tools that were being used for the commoners for daily lives or weapons of war.
In this world where countless people who blindly follow what is the norm will always view Royal Inventors as diety as these kinds of people were hugely different from them and would always create new things that would benefit people greatly. Thus, them seeing me making the wheelbarrow that they haven't seen before they must have thought that I was one of Royal Inventors from the capital.
When Gerrart heard Maine he was excited. There currently thousands of imaginations running through his mind. Seeing me not reacting yet he suddenly kneeling in front of me and began begging.
"O great Royal Inventor please help our small village. With your presence here I'm sure the villager's lives would improve and turn to better."
Seeing Gerrart suddenly kneeling to me, surprised came to my face now. At first, I thought the titles of the Royal Inventors were just exaggerated but seeing Gerrart kneel suddenly all of it was true.
If I was back in the modern world people would just laugh at me for making something so simple but in this world, it was different not like from the modern world where the society itself was slowly dying. Resources were abused by the rich and the poor kept getting poorer not one voice could be heard to alleviate their problems.

But now I'm in this world, where it was hugely different. The resources of this world are still left untouched and were scattered everywhere. If I can start here and made use of my knowledge from the modern world what would I achieve?
Having lost to my thoughts and forgot to answer Gerrart was still currently kneeling and was worried about my answer he took a glance only to see me not answer, a huge disappointment could be seen on his face.
"How would a Royal Inventor agree to my request even our Kingdom of Mercia only had 2 of them much less our small village to ask for his help." Gerrart thought to himself slowly getting more depress and disappointed.
Maine was also shocked by how the current scene happening in front of her, with their village elder who has passed away three years ago due to old age, Gerrart was already considered to replace him but he would always avoid the responsibility and would only just help them whenever he can. Having the village with no one to lead they couldn't do anything impressive and would only try to live every day with worries from threats outside the village.
Snapping out from my thoughts I could see everyone worried about what I would reply even some people started to gather when they saw Gerrart kneeled in front of me. Seeing Gerrart still on the ground kneeling I hurriedly bend down to help him stand.
"Oh please you don't have to kneel, this village has already saved me once before. It would be instead my honor to help this village, even without you kneeling I already have in mind that I would improve everyone's situation better."
Seeing me accepting his request Gerrart's knees started to get weak again and fell. I could see Maine's watery eyes as she couldn't believe what I said. The kids were first to react and joyed, pushing the wheelbarrow again to their destination and spreading a Royal Inventor would help their village to thrive.

Now before I would start everything I needed to know the accurate number of population to designate each person properly on their work. Seeing the place outside the suitable for discussion Gerrart brought me on his hut to explain everything about the village current situation. With us so serious about the discussion Maine left us and continued doing her work.
After hours of discussion, I now have an accurate number of people detailed in front of me. There were currently 77 males and 31 females including kids and adults. Only a few of the adult males would stay inside the village and the rest would keep guard on the surroundings and would hunt while the female villagers would be in charge of preparing their food and daily necessities.
After a few moments, Gerrart and I left his hut and began to walk near the village wall. the wall was crudely built and would only stop the weak beast from entering and some parts would just break down if you kick it hard enough. I would see some villagers walking around with their crudely made spear stand guard on potential beast attacks.
Now I understand why they have trouble even just living peacefully almost everyone was out working with these current circumstances. Only if they had a better wall would it lessen the people on guard and having more people to do other jobs. Looks like I have to change the current wall in the village first to secure enough manpower for my projects.
As much as I want cement for the wall it was currently impossible, even the needed materials that I would ask no one would even know what they were in this village. Seeing Gerrart wholeheartedly waiting for my response after seeing the wall. I couldn't wait any longer and asked something to draw again. Hearing me that I would draw a blueprint he was excited and flew over back to his hut and just a moment later brought me tools to draw.
Now I got the hang of the quill I was currently stuck on what to build that would temporarily replace their crude wall. It got me to think that we were surrounded by a forest and the use of wood was close to infinite. When they explained before that the beast would be twice or thrice the normal animals in my modern world and didn't even possess intelligence then I would need a replacement of their wall that is capable of enough offense and defense. After minutes of drawing, I finally finished the blueprint. Gerrart seeing me done with my drawing he was too excited about what I drew.
"Well this isn't currently close to a wall but this should be sufficient in the current situation." Gerrart seeing the drawing was both confused and excited he could see the tip of the logs were sharpen like wooden spears and was place in between, in my modern world they were called Cheval de frise a defensive anti-calvary in the middle ages. With a bit of added poison at the tip of the spikes, it would greatly increase its offensive abilities to the mindless beast that would head straight to it.
After explaining more things about the blueprint he began to gather people to build and the defensive barricade and as for me I have to think of a way to create more possible things with the limited resources this village has.

To Become a Troll: A Monster Evolution Story
Thrust into the supernatural world of the deep forest, Paul finds himself in a situation where he could find himself prey to pretty much every other creature and animal around. If he's to survive, he must shed his weak form to grow stronger and survive. But the forest is full of creatures beyond human understanding, that act without the need for food or shelter and that seem to exist for the sole purpose of dragging humans to the bottom of a murky river. Is it really possible to kill such creatures when your only strength is physical prowess? --- A monster evolution story based on Swedish creature mythology. The focus will overwhelmingly be on the progression of the main character and his slow increase in strength. Although many of the creatures are based on Swedish creature mythology, I have taken creative liberties in order to ensure that evolution lines and the such are in line with the usual. The main thought I had when going into this is that I want to delay the "meeting a human" section as much as possible. My plan is to get him to endgame levels of strength before even sniffing the possibility of seeing a human. Whether I'm actually able to do this remains to be seen, but I'm holding my thumbs! Also, I'm aware that there are other troll evolution stories, but this is unrelated to them. They can do their stuff and I'll do mine, but this is in no way related to any of them. That said, hope you enjoy it!
