The new day was pleased with sunny weather and another difficult task. The city of Agalor Son, where I got using the teleportation scroll, was much more crowded than my virtual homeland, and I needed only one person - the owner of the bookstore Habib. I had something to fear in my search. I was only 1 level, I did not have combat skills, even a small dog could tear me to death, I was not protected from thieves, and in my pocket a lot of money. Luckily, the streets were patrolled by vigilant guards and not very vigilant volunteer players. Patrolling the streets to help the guard is a typical task, which can be obtained in any at least some large settlement. They paid little, but their reputation increased rapidly, especially if you caught the criminal.

Agalor Son was in the same desert as Sonar Son, only far east, on the banks of the river. There were no brown rocks and springs here, but trade was in key. Locations such as "Crocodile pool" and "Reed beds" attracted many players who ate the local wildlife. The famous library attracted lovers of antiquities, and the market attracted lovers of shopping.

About an hour of cautious inquiries, petty bribes and running around led me to an inconspicuous shop called “Shards of the wisdom of Hanef”. No recipes or magic books were sold here, so players were rarely here. Few knew that the most profitable product is never in the window.

- Light day dear. Can I see Habib?

- You talk to him. - replied a thin abir in a non-demanding gray cloak.

“Friends told me that you have books about the architecture of the Old Kingdom.”

- Of course, I have historical books. - Habib pointed to the shelf. - Do not be shy. Choose.

Habib turned away, as if he had lost interest in me.

- I was told that you have rare books.

- Maybe they were once, but now they are not.

Habib looked at me indifferently. He does not trust me. Do not know me.

- Do you know anyone who can find them? I am interested in those that were found by savages not so long ago.

- Let's see in my reserves.

Habib ordered his assistant to look after the shop and took me to the utility room.

- What you need?

- Do you want to say who you need?

- Yes. I have two travelers. They were caught in the desert. They are strong and strong, very hardy. Can defeat any local monster in a battle.

This is a specific feature. To kill any local monster, you need to be level 150 or higher. But they are not women, so I do not need.

- I need women.The harem of one of my influential acquaintance is incomplete.

Do not tell him why I need women?

- Oh, good things! - the slaver smiled - Women are so obstinate, not like before. It’s harder to find a normal wife ...

It was obvious that for him it was a sore subject. I painted utter passionlessness on my face.

—... argue with men, demand something. My grandfather could not even imagine that ...

There was no point in delving into the endless stream of complaints. I nodded and cheated. The end was unexpected.

—... therefore there are no women on sale.

- How so?

- Your friend is not the only one who has similar problems. Demand is high and goods are being brought from afar.

- Are there any places where the traditions of obedience are honored and where are the right wives?

- Yes, but you see ... - Habib hesitated - you are a new person, they do not know you. The current authorities, who have betrayed the traditions of their ancestors, are sending scouts to eradicate the last strongholds of true Abir life. We have to be careful. Now, if someone dear vouched for you, you would avoid unnecessary questions.

- Can you vouch for me?

- Yes, but ...

- I could donate 3 large emeralds for the development of your business.

Habib treats you better. Current attitude: friendliness.

- I will put in a good word for you.

Money, as always, did the trick. I hope his friends will have a better choice. Each large emerald cost me 15 thousand credits. I said goodbye to the sharply loyal Habib, bought a book on architecture and teleported home. The smart trader promised to talk to the right people and gave a scroll of teleportation to a location called the Eastern Oasis. Something this epic is delayed. How much time has passed, and the gun with a four-gram charge still rests idle.

And now it's time to take the dungeon. - I said the walls of the basement. Those did not answer.

I opened the book with the brown cover and read the introduction:

This spell is not suitable for plowing the earth and does not dig a hole for the cellar and will not help build a house. For this you need another divination. This will only affect the hardest rock, not soaked with water. And it is also pointless to try to remove loose and powdery, like clay, sand, ash, dust, glass fragments and other things that do not constitute a solid massif. It is still not possible to use it against a magical, enchanted, magnetized, otherworldly, ghostly and other unusual stone. And if there is some kind of crystal or mineral in the stratum, then you will regret having started this wolf. And ore is not all subject to this spell, but only the following types: ...

The spell was difficult. It could cut a triangular, square, circular depression and many other species in the stone. The dimensions and depth of cut were also regulated, as was the shape of the edges. After a long reading, I finally found how to make a cubic recess with a side of 1 meter, with smooth edges, oriented to the cardinal points.

- Ahulzaalkeroyalinia.

He trained for a long time, before saying it with a book in his hands. If I pronounce it incorrectly, I will need a new house.

The stone with the crunch disappeared, leaving a hollow in the floor in which one person can hardly be hidden.

- Ahulzaalkeroyalinia.

Another piece of stone disappeared and the hole went deeper by a meter. Now you can stand up there. In the book there are 1280 charges. I secured the rope ladder and jumped into the hole.

- Ahulzaalkeroyalinia.

The stone disappeared, and I fell a meter down. From such a slight fall, the standard of living has not decreased. This is good, because I will have to die to make up for hit points if they fall. My class did not provide any other way.

- Ahulzaalkeroyalinia.

The fall.

- Ahulzaalkeroyalinia.

The fall. It is good that the staircase itself adds steps, otherwise I would not have got out of there. At 50 meters I stopped and cast a spell on the surrounding stone. For a moment, I felt like a character in an ancient computer game, where the whole world consisted of cubic blocks, and the trees could be chopped down by hand.The result was a room, 2 meters high, 3 meters wide and 5 meters long, adjacent to the vertical course I had just dug.

- Attention! You have created a location. Choose a location name.

- Underground.

- Accepted.

Before my eyes flashed messages:

New achievement: Demiurge (Lv. 1)

You have created a new small location. In any way create a bigger location to improve this achievement.

Bonus: there is something to brag about among friends.

New achievement: Digger (Lv 3)

You dug 50 cubic meters. Dig 100 cubic meters to improve this achievement (80 out of 100 are dug out).

Bonus: blocked by class restrictions.

New Achievement: The Wizard (Lv 3)

You cast a spell 50 times. Spell any spell 100 times to improve this achievement (80 out of 100 is pronounced).

Bonus: blocked by class restrictions.

New Achievement: Mage Tverdy (Lv 3)

You cast the spell magic 50 times. Speak any magic spell solid 100 times to improve this achievement (80 out of 100 are spoken).

Bonus: blocked by class restrictions.

All experienced players have many similar achievements. In addition to the "Demiurge", I do not think that there are many players who have their own dungeons. I will not brag about it. Using the "Book of gratings and doors," I fenced off part of the room with vertical metal bars into which I mounted the door. Another door I put on the way out of the dungeon. It remains to drag here some bed, bedding and a small nest of love will be ready.

The appeared message did not allow me to enjoy the spectacle of the work done.

Your relationship with the East Oasis domain has improved. Former relationship: strong suspicion. Current relationship: slight suspicion.

Yeah, Habib did his job. It's time to grab all your money and go for the bride.
