Reborn in Magic - Part 2

The sun beat down over the stone cliffs, highlighting every nook and cranny in the stone with deep shadows. Dar wiped gritty sweat away from his brow with the back of his forearm, squinting in the bright light to take in their latest progress.

Two days had passed since they had broken ground on their fledgling village, which was situated between the granite cliffs and the Bell River. They had worked together to plan out the basics.

Housing had been their most immediate need. Cherry had taken the lead in building the first homes, much like the hut she’d made for Dar and Sasha on their journey to the city of Bellhaven. Cherry had grown small huts for everyone in a wide arch around the largest cave they had found in the cliffs.

Between the huts and the cave was a wide area where people had set up a large hearth for communal meals. All around the central hearth, the village came to life with work. Tables and stumps were scattered between the hearth and the huts for people to congregate, work or eat.

Dar had been surprised when he had watched Cherry wear herself out building so many huts. All along the way, Cherry had been cautious not to show her real strength and to always hold something in reserve. Of his two women, Cherry was the cautious one and avoided drawing attention to herself.

Chuckling to himself, Dar considered just how much had changed since he had died on Earth and entered this new world. The fact that his body now housed a space where he could increase his power and the fact that it felt almost second nature at this point was insane.

Breathing in the crisp air, Dar smiled. He definitely didn’t miss the stale air of his previous life. While there were challenges with being in a less developed world, he loved that it hadn’t been tainted by high yield industries. The wide-open land around them held possibilities.

He could wring a living out of the land in a way that was satisfying.
