A Guild… I never thought about it too deeply, but this was perhaps the perfect opportunity to make one. I could add all my friends there, and people might finally stop bothering me about joining their guilds… Angelina and everyone here has been pretty gentle, but I can tell I'll face against even more annoying people in the future. To avoid these interactions, getting into a dungeon would be ideal.
"What benefits does having a guild have?" Asked Achlys.
"Well, it comes with many! Guilds have special Guild Skills which every guild member shares. There's things such as EXP increase, stat buffs, increased chance at super success or success in all forms of crafting, enhancement, and so on, and even increased luck for dropped items." Said Angelina.
"Guilds come with all these perks, you level them up using Guild Renown, which you earn doing various things. For example when a guild member completes a quest or reaches certain levels, Guild Renown is automatically donated to the guild, and so on." Said Anikitty.
"Of course the best thing is that you can participate on Guild Quests, whole guilds arm together to raid special dungeons with powerful boss monsters inside, you get plenty of rewards from that as well." Said Gandalf. "There's also guild wars which compete for territories the guilds occupy, and treasures, alongside renown."
"There's many benefits as well, you can have your own Guild Building and buy other buildings in various cities as well…" Said Erdrich.
"Woah, that's a lot of stuff, isn't it?" Wondered Achlys.
"Seems like it could be quite beneficial, I don't mind joining the guild Planta would make." Lily said.
"Yeah me neither." Titan said. "How about it?"
Everyone seemed to want my answer to the whole thing before doing anything. But I was able to easily tell they really wanted to join a guild with me. And honestly speaking, it sounded like a very tentative offer.
"Alright… Let's make a guild!" I celebrated.
"Yaaay!" Said Acorn. "Wait, what's a guild?"
"Are we invited to it too?" Nieve wondered.
"Sounds fun!" Florie added.
"Kids don't get involved with Players stuff. Guilds is one of the things only Players have access to." Titania said.
"But don't we have the Player Title?" Asked Acorn.
"Maybe we can join!" Florie said.
"Right… It might be true." Said Nieve.
"Wait, Player Titles? What's that?" Angelina asked.
"Err, we can explain it later. For now we should really just gather in somewhere safe and… Wait, how about we build a village here, in the tree's roots?" I asked everyone.
"Eh? In here?"
"The roots seem like a nice place. There's plenty of shade too. And grass and mushrooms are growing everywhere."
"There's fruit trees around here as well!"
"Are those potatoes?"
"Wait, I can see some carrots around here!"
Fairies, Brownies, Gnomes, and Squirrel-kin began wandering everywhere, using their sharp sight and smell senses to find edible things. Their villages ended all being devastated and the Fairy Kingdom was now on complete ruins.
So I thought… Why not make our new home in here where they'll be protected by my body? Their wounds and mana will heal very quickly in here, and there's spiritual essence flowing all the time so they'll be healthy as well.
Apparently, a "side effect" of my tree taking roots is that the power of the Great Spirit of Farming and Harvest has spread further through the land and tons of fruits and veggies started popping up in here.
It doesn't mean I'll abandon my farm outside the forest, but in here there's plenty of plant life growing, and I can always produce more food through Plant Synthesis and the farming system method I found.
"Our homes are all destroyed, we don't have anywhere to go…" Sighed the Squirrel-kin chief. "We've managed to bring our belongings thanks to Acorn's spatial storage magic, but the rest is in ruins… I suppose these big trees around and the roots are good place to climb around. Are you okay with establishing our new village in here, everyone?"
The squirrel-kin chief asked the other squirrel-kin, they all agreed, raising their hands and shaking their tails around.
"If we can stay near the big tree, we'll feel safer!"
"If this is Lady Planta's true body, there's no safer place to be."
"There's plenty of food here for all of us!"
"Yeah, it could work!"
Squirrel-kin are mostly hunter gatherers, the most primitive tribe in the forest, so they easily would adapt to this place without many complications. However, the fairies were the most refined, living in enormous buildings and all… Brownies and gnomes seem to fancy areas with underground passages.
But who says I cannot remodel the terrain so there's an opening to those places? Using my Terrain Manipulation and Green Magic and calling for the help of the Land Spirits… it could be totally possible.
In fact, can't we just begin making buildings out of wood right away? My control over plants have become superb right now, so its totally possible if I put my mind into it.
"What about everyone else?" I wondered. "Sorry if it was too rushed or something… Maybe it would be better if you returned to your territories? I'll help you rebuild your homes as well."
"No, we'll stay here. There's a big opening in the other side of that giant root leading to a rich cave filled with crystal and ores that surged when Lady Planta's roots emerged everywhere." Dverg said. "I think this is enough for us gnomes, the brownies seem to love the flower gardens that grew nearby."
"Ooh, really? I'll do my best to plant more things for you all!" I said happily.
"Sadly my people has grown fond of our kingdom, so I don't think we can stay in the center." Said Titania. "I would love to but it is not possible."
"Aw, well, it's fine as well, don't worry. For now, how about we make some buildings?" I asked everyone. "Titan, Lily, can you help me out for a bit?"
"Huh? Sure!" Titan said.
"How could I help?" Lily wondered.
