Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 31: Construction System?!



31 Construction System?!

| DAY 29 |

I naturally woke up earlier this morning and noticed my missing leg growing around another centimeter, there is still some time until it fully grows back.

I saw Zehe and Nesiphae sleeping at my side, however, this time, their appearances had completely changed!

"They evolved?!"

Zehe became taller and her body size doubled, even though her body was still slim and sexy, I could see some muscles on her belly. Her skin did not change much and still was of pale blue, her hair became longer and shined brightly. She gained two black horns on her forehead and countless golden markings all over her body including her neck and face. The biggest change, however, it was that she gained a new pair of arms, and her previously lost arm regenerated completely, merging with her prosthetic arm. She almost looked like some kind of deity, and had a majestic aura.

I quickly wanted to check her status window.

"A-Ashura?! She is no longer a Troll? It feels like she jumped over some evolutions, is it because of being my wife? Impressive… And Nesiphae…"

Although Nesiphae size did not change much, her skin color became of a dark purple, her tail gained countless red markings on her purple scales and her ears became sharp with scales around them. The most noticeable change was her hair, even though she still had her normal purple hair, there were also countless snakes, sleeping just like her. I could not tell if they were sentient.

"A Medusa?! Petrifying gaze?! That's dangerous… And her Strength stat also grew immensely, so these two girls got way stronger than their previous race, their evolution is almost a cheat…"

I decided to let them sleeping for now, evolution takes a lot of energy.

I went to the bathroom and had a nice and relaxing warm bath, afterwards, I dressed myself and went outside to check out on my servants.

Two little Spider Maids greeted me and told me some good news.

It seems that the two Giant Ice Rabbits that I enslaved and brought here had 12 children in total!

The female was already pregnant, so in less than a week the babies were already born.

This give me the idea of raising even more of these kinds of monsters, to have our own farm of monster for meat and milk, and even their fur.

"I wonder what kind of birds could be kept here… Gale Wind Birds are too intelligent, and Icy Storm Birds are very aggressive… Maybe if we raise them from their eggs? That give me another idea… How about the creation of a farming team? We still need more monsters, but the foundation is already set with the rabbits…"

A Spider Maid praised my idea.

"Ooh! Master you are so intelligent. Indeed, the concept of a Farming Team would be perfect to raise our own cattle monsters"

"I remember that the Monkeys used to hunt Rocky Mountain Wild Pigs, if we capture some females and males, we could add them on the farm too"

"Very well, Master. I will tell the hunt team to capture alive some Rocky Mountain Wild Pigs"

"I would appreciate that"

"It is our duty to oblige to your commands, Master"

The two Spider Maids quickly left in search for the Hunting Team.

Before reaching the dining room I came across Wagyu and Rimuru, and to my surprise, both of them also evolved!

"Master! Good news! We have finally evolved! Aaah~! It feels so good to evolve!"

"Guuuu! Master look! I am stronger now!"

Wagyu size doubled and his fur became even darker, he obtained more horns on his forehead and his eyes were shining on a bright gold. He also grew three more tails on his back. His body was covered in red markings, showing countless magic circles around.

"He finally became a true demon wolf, so that's what Fenrir blessing did for him… Interesting… Will he grow two more heads in the future?"

Rimuru, on the other side, grew larger, around two times its previous size, with countless shining and colorful pigments all over its watery body, it also had a calming aura around its body, unlike the other Slimes, Rimuru has the least features, looking almost like a normal Slime if it wasn't for its size and colors. However, its plain characteristics are no more than a facade, because Rimuru it's the strongest Slime, and its on pair with Wagyu.

| BLESSED BY BLOOIA: THE SLIME DEMI-GODDESS OF WATER |

| MYSTHIC NINE ELEMENTAL BEING |

"Incredible! Rimuru your stats increased so much! And what is this? A blessing?!"

"That's right, guuu! The only Slime Demi-Goddess, Blooia has blessed me!"

"To think that a being that I summoned is able to get a blessing… So, there are almost no restrictions?"

It seems that the blessing of Blooia was the reason of Rimuru boosted stats, however, there is another thing that this blessing brings!

The blessing of Blooia also lets Rimuru change its body structure to humanoid, being able to obtain a class.

Suddenly, in front of me, Rimuru started to change its body, retracting its massive watery body, and slowly forming a human shape.

FLUOSH!

In the immense amount of water condensing together, a human shadow could be seen.

"Ah?!"

When Rimuru's body completely absorbed its multi colored slime, a solid body appeared in front of us.

The body was still made of slime, but a its face and hands had different tone and structure, similar to of a fleshy being, the body resembled that of a adult woman, most of its body shined in bright colors, but its face was locked on a pale blue color with bright rainbow eyes. Its slimy hair was blue colored.

Rimuru tried to compress its slimy body even more, making her body more defined with less slime around her. Some slime started to transform into a basic blue dress that covered Rimuru's whole body. The dress was quite beautiful and showed the upper area of her blue breasts.

"Ahh…"

When Rimuru finished its transformation, it looked me deeply at my eyes, with a convinced smug!

"Master! Now I am finally ready to be your wife!!!"

"Eeeeh?! W-Wife? W-Wait a minute…! Let's take this slowly…!"

Rimuru came closer to me and grabbed my body with her arms, giving me a big and strong hug.

SQUISH!

"Hmmm~ It feels so good to hug you like this, Mastaa! Guuuu!"

"Gueehh! L-Let me go…!"

"I can't! You are so precious to me, Master!"

Rimuru looked at me with her rainbow eyes, blushing her blue face, then, she slowly moved her lips close to me.

"E-EH? W-Wa- Hmm?!"

Smooch

Rimuru kissed me intensively, even more intense than Zehe and Nesiphae have ever been.

"Hmm?!"

After some time, Rimuru left off of my lips.

"Buaaahh! Don't do that again! I could had killed you if I wanted! Don't try your luck on me, blob!!"

"B-But Master…! I've always wanted to do this to you since the very moment you summoned me, but I've always felt dissociated from you, I always thought that our bodies could never show love to each other, but now that we both are humanoid, its perfect! Please! Accept my love!"

Rimuru looked at me with a warm smile.

"Is this some love confession…? Ugh… I mean… This is quite sudden…"

"P-Please, Master! Guuu!"

"Okay okay! Just let off me, I need my personal space… I do love you, you are my precious servant after all…"

"M-Master…"

Rimuru started to cry slimy tears.

"I'm sho glad… snif…"

I patted Rimuru little head.

.

.

.

When I reached the dining room, I found the rest of my servants and found out some others who had evolved, those included mostly the rookies without a name, increasing the overall Strength of my army.

While waiting for the food with Rimuru and Wagyu. Rimuru couldn't let me go from its arms, grabbing me with intense strength.

"U-Ugh… Rimuru… Could you let me go already?"

"B-But Master… I want to be as close to you forever!"

"Sigh… Oh?"

I noticed that Celica and Truhan entered the dining room together, just like Zehe, they also evolved.

Truhan immense and muscular body doubled in size and its green skin changed to a black red one, growing two little horns on its forehead. Its eyes seemed to glow on an intense flame, and its overall body temperature increased a lot, emitting a strong heat aura around himself.

"It seems like Truhan was blessed by Fire Spirits, giving him this powerful evolution. It's interesting how Trolls can evolve into different races so easily"

Celica's body size also doubled, she became even more slim and beautiful, looking like a proper adult woman now. Even though she had a slim composition, she still boasted some good-looking muscles on her body, showing her increase in Strength. Her face became extremely beautiful too, having some mystic aura to it. Her little chest also grew larger and more round, showing an increase on her breasts size.

Her pale gray skin changed to a darker tone and her little ears grew larger and sharper, her eyes became red colored and she gained a little horn on her forehead. It seems that this body evolved to specialize on Speed and Strength, the two strong points on Celica combat style.

"Amazing! And an Elf? How can a Troll even evolve to an Elf? Is this because of the blessings she shared with me? And maybe her skills too…"

I called them both to come eat with us, so we had a nice conversation about their evolutions and new strengths.

"Hmm! When I entered on the evolution selection, most of my evolution choices were more Trolls and even the Troll Champion, however, this unique evolution choice had the biggest future evolution potential of them all… And look at my muscles! They are massive!"

"Hahaha! Indeed, it seems that you have grown incredibly strong just with this evolution, its quite impressive, and you too Celica, I never thought that a Troll could evolve to an Elf…"

"Yeah, I also did not know about it. Bu it seems that the moment we had a blood pact with Master, our evolution choices became even greater and stronger. I feel a little bit embarrassed to have such a slim and charming figure now… I was accustomed to my small size"

Truhan grabbed Celica shoulder with his big red hand.

"What are you talking about, Celica? You are more beautiful than ever! I almost feel that I don't deserver to be with such a woman…"

Celica blushed at this.

"Geez… D-Don't say such embarrassing things in front of Master… Hahaha…"

"Anyways, did Zehe evolve too?"

"Zehe? Yeah… She did indeed evolve, into something I never expected… Have you heard of the Sacred Ashura race?"

"Sacred Ashura… No… Not at all, but it sounds very mystical!"

"Yeah, her appearance is incredible… Oh? She's here"

In the distance, Zehe and Nesiphae were entering the dining room and slowly walked to our table.

"Ah! Master! Did you see our new evolutions?"

"H-Honey… I regained my arm…!"

"Yeah, you two are looking incredibly strong now! I couldn't expect less from my wives!"

Zehe and Truhan were surprised over Zehe appearance!

"Zehe… is that really you?"

"That body… four arms… the horns… the long silver hair… and that beautiful and slim muscular body…"

"Is that really a Sacred Ashura? It looks like the magic deity from the Troll mythology"

Zehe nodded.

"Yeah, I also noticed my increase in size and arms, and after taking a closer look over a mirror, my body indeed look like the magic deity from our Troll mythology… To think that it's actually a race… I hope Master is not grossed out because of my new appearance; I could look rather intimidating…"

I forcefully freed myself from Rimuru arms and came closer to Zehe.

"Your new looks only increase your beauty, Zehe. Do not worry about these new muscles… I love muscles on a woman"

Zehe pale blue face blushed in embarrassment.

"Fueeehh… M-Master…"

Nesiphae was looking from the side with an angry face.

"Eeeh? And what about me?"

"Agh!"

Nesiphae wrapped my body around her snake tail.

"Aggh! You too! You are beautiful too, Nesiphae…! I was going to say it too… Ugh…"

"A-Ah! R-Really? M-Master I love you!"

Nesiphae warmly smiled and hugged me tightly.

SQUISH!

"Aggh! (Monster girls might be extremely beautiful, but also extremely dangerous!)"

.

.

.

While having a nice breakfast, I introduced Rimuru new appearance to my wives, and told them about her being the third one.

As I expected, they didn't take it so happily.

"Eeeh? We thought that we would be your only women…"

"H-Honey… Am I not enough for you?"

"Aaah…! W-Wait a second! Its not like that, its just that Rimuru has always accompanied me in my whole journey… I can't just decline her love… Please understand…"

Rimuru wanted to convince Zehe and Nesiphae.

"Please big sisters! I love Master Kireina has much as you two, I've always loved her, guuuuuu!"

Rimuru body extended and hugged Zehe and Nesiphae tightly.

"Ahh! She is so cute…"

"Yeah… I guess its fine… She is more like a little sister… fufufu…"

"Hmm… I wonder what kind of play can we do with her slime…"

I immediately realized that Rimuru was actually convincing them with her slime! These two degenerates can't wait to use this stickiness on sex!

"Eeeh?"

.

.

.

When everything was finally settled down, I decided to add Rimuru to my Sub-Governors, because she was a Royal Guard before, I had to remove her form this position.

| YOU HAVE SELECTED HIGH MYSTIC NINE ELEMENTS SLIME: RIMURU HAS YOUR THIRD SUB GOVERNOR |

| YOUR AFFINITY WITH HIGH MYSTIC NINE ELEMENTS SLIME: RIMURU HAS INCREASED |

| YOUR BOND WITH HIGH MYSTIC NINE ELEMENTS SLIME: RIMURU IS STRONG |

| YOU CAN NOW SHARE YOUR STRENGTH BETWEEN YOU TWO |

| SKILLS CAN ALSO BE GIVEN TO A LOVER, WITH A LIMIT OF 5 |

"Phew… Already three…"

I quickly gathered the rest of my servants and we went to the training grounds for the daily training. We connected our MP with my many servants and summoned around 1800 Demonic Beings, without a new variant this time either.

"This variant thing is very random; I shouldn't expect one each time I summon…"

As everyone started doing their training, I decided to go see how Eshne and Tsuchimizu on the expansion plan.

When I reached, I found the two resting over the ground, eating some food that the Spider Maids brought for them.

"Ah! Master! Good news, we are done!"

"Yes, Master! At last! This is our very first step to expansion!"

"Amazing! Well done guys!"

The big piece of land ahead of me was completely flattened thanks to Tschimizu masterful earth control, and also completely cleaned off trees thanks to Eshne.

While inspecting the whole land, suddenly, a system message popped out of thin air.

Ding!

| A CLEAN AND FLAT LAND HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED |

| THIS PIECE OF LAND ACCOMPLISH THE REQUISITES FOR EXPANSION |

| DO YOU WANT TO EXPAND YOUR KINGDOM TO THIS LAND? |

| >YES NO |

"Aaah! It can work like this?! Of course! Take it! Yes!"

Ding!

| YOUR KINGDOM HAS EXPANDED OVER 5% OF GRAND FOREST LAND |

| ENTER THE LAND MANAGEMEN MENU? |

| >YES NO |

"L-Land management?! Y-Yes!"

Ding!

When I opened the Land Management Menu, a whole map of this piece of land appeared out of thin air, it also showed the mountain and the castle inside. There were various options one could do, from remodeling and moving furniture inside the castle, to construct whole houses and streets! It was an amazing system!

"Is this what every Kingdom gets?! I can already see why Humans conquered half the world, they learned how to abuse this System!!"

| MEDIUM LIVING HOUSE: A simple living house for a family up to five. It contains the basic things like a little kitchen, a bath and five beds |

| COST: 500 Pieces of Wood (Any type), 400 Pieces of Clean Rock (Any type), 100 Nails, 50 Glass, 5 Free Constructors and 200 MP (From Kingdom Governor) |

"What? Wood? Pieces of Clean Rock? Nails? Eeh?! This is really like those strategy games from Earth! Can I see my total materials?"

| WOOD: 218 |

| CLEAN ROCK: 3013 |

| NAILS: 0 |

| GLASS: 0 |

| FREE CONSTRUCTORS: 148 |

| YOU CAN OBTAIN MORE MATERIALS BY SAVING THEM INSIDE THE CASTLE UNDERGROUND STORAGE |

| MORE MATERIALS CAN BE NEEDED FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONSTRUCTIONS |

| CONSTRUCT MORE PROPERTIES TO INCREASE POPULATION MORALE AND UNLOCK MORE FACILITIES |

There was also the possibility to instantly transform a piece of land into a farming land.

| BASIC FARMING LAND: Transform a piece of land into a ground rich in minerals and nutrients, ideal to plant crops |

| COST: 300 Wood (Any type), 3 Free Constructors and 180 MP |

"Ahh! T-This! I feel like this system is incredibly important! I need to take this seriously, even if its ridiculous by itself…"

I asked Eshne if he could take out some trees for us, and he did, using his Nature related skills, he made the trees themselves walk all the way up to the castle storage, creating a funny scene, that one would only find in fairy tales.

| YOU GAINED 1400 WOOD |

"Oooh! It worked! Now the Nails and Glass… This will take some time…"

I quickly flew inside my castle and put on some request to the Crafting and Blacksmith team, with the help of slaves, they will be making Nails and Glass from now on.

Kusuri was surprised by my sudden orders.

"M-Master, why such a sudden order?"

"Ah! Loo Kusuri!"

I showed Kusuri the Kingdom Management System Menu and he almost dropped his eyeballs out of his face from the surprise.

"Gaahh! T-This! Master, with this, increasing and expanding our Kingdom won't be such a torture! Impressive! The System powers are impressive! We will hurry up with the creation of Nails and Glass, using my crafter skills, it will a breeze!"

Kusuri himself went to the middle of the work, and started to use materials and his skills to mass produce Nails and square pieces of Glass.

After some hours of production all the Crafter assistants left the materials inside the Castle Storage and quickly resumed the production of more.

| YOU GAINED 1560 NAILS |

| YOU GAINED 900 GLASS |

Without losing a single second and flew back to the flattened land and immediately opened the Kingdom Management Window.

"Is there something for streets or floor…?"

I browsed around the construction menu but most things seemed to be locked.

However, a basic Street construction was available.

| BASIC ROCK FLOOR: The most basic and primitive of floors pavemented with rocks |

| COST: 400 Clean Rocks, 10 Free Constructors and 190 MP |

There was also something quite interesting.

| STURDY WALLS: The most basic of walls to protect your Kingdom, made entirely of rocks and that can be reinforced and strengthened with magic |

| COST: 800 Clean Rocks, 15 Free Constructors and 220 MP |

"Ahh! Those also look extremely handy when the next wave of enemies comes! But I must prioritize the Streets first…"

I selected the Basic Rock Floor, and jut after selecting it, the land map appeared ahead of me, asking me in which area of this land should the streets be constructed.

The total Land was showed on the map as squares. The complete Land was made of around 48x48 squares, and the Basic Rock Floor covered around 24x24 squares, so I needed to use it again to completely fill the land with the Basic Rock Floor.

Ding! Ding!

FLASH!

In a matter of seconds 20 Undead appeared out of thin air, they were confused about why they were tele teleported here. Also, on their sides, there were all the rocks needed to create the floor, including other materials not included on the materials showed in the menu.

"Oh? They teleported here?! And what are those other materials? I guess you can't just craft a floor with just rocks and your hands… Maybe the MP used creates these other "lesser" materials?"

Suddenly, the System itself used a strange power to order the Undead.

The walking corpses slowly started to work on the ground, creating floors made of rocks, as if they always knew how to construct them!

"Aaaahh…"

Some strong Undead Trolls and Goblin Champions started to destroy the rocks into dust, and other weaker Undead started to pour water into it, slowly mixing them until concrete was formed.

Other Undead Trolls carried shoves and moved the concrete around the ground, covering it slowly, as if butter over bread.

Eshne and Tsuchimizu, who were at my side, were as surprised as me.

"T-This is… the power of the system…"

"It can do anything…"
