"Plant Absorption, Nature Assimilation, Plant Manipulation!"

FLAAAASH!

I combined these two powerful Skills and the spell together, as I merged with the nature nearby and assimilated it, at the same time as I shaped it however I wanted. With the help of Titan and Lily, we manipulated the terrain.

CREAAAAK!

The sound of wood moving around and shaping into different forms echoed across the forest. The people glanced with awe as I shaped house after house out of all the wood nearby, including my own roots.

Beautiful wooden houses popped up one after the other, finely decorated as they imprinted their shape right how I had imagined them. I tried to make taller houses attached to big trees or the roots of Yggdrasil for the squirrel kin, while making low and smaller houses for the brownies and gnomes.

Mana was being spent by the thousands, but thanks to the power of many skills and the tree itself, I was able to easily gain back all the MP I was spending. As long as nature flourishes in this forest I can refill my MP gauge very rapidly.

"Land Spirits! Terrain Manipulation!"

After that, and using Lily's aid as well, we summoned Land Spirits and used Terrain Manipulation, alongside other similar skills, and spells to create a paved road around the village. Lastly, we added walls made of living wood with Titan.

Mark ended adding some decorations as well, putting [Guardian Totems] made from his own wood which he carved with special Runes using a skill, and he placed them around the entire village. He said these guardians would protect the village from wild animals or monsters that still roam freely in the forest as part of the whole ecosystem, but that could still threaten the lives of people.

"A-Amazing..." Titania was left speechless.

"Y-You built this in half an hour?!" Asked Angelina.

"This is insanity!" Florie said.

"Well this is just the power of having our MP refilled all the time." I laughed.

"Yeah it wasn't so hard, once we have the picture in our minds, the trees and plants move and do the rest." Titan explained.

"The ground moves around easily whenever I use Magic, the spirits helped refine the various other things." Lily said.

"We are still in the early stages, we could only make around fifty buildings, but they have second floors and many rooms. Could you guys bear with this for now? We've already made some rudimentary bathrooms as well." I said with a smile.

The squirrel-kin, gnomes, and brownies all seemed to be in a bliss as I smiled back at them.

"Lady Planta, your humbleness knows no bounds..." Dverg sighed.

"Such a good person... I am moved..." Cried Acorn's grandpa.

"Lady Planta you're the best! Thank you..."

"This is good enough for now...!"

"For sure! They even made big bathrooms!"

"Huh? Is that a farm they installed there?!"

"And the walls make us feel safer too..."

"Those totems emanate a strong spiritual aura, they're really spirits!"

The three tribes joined together as they entered the village we built rapidly, wandering around. The two chiefs decided to take care of preparations and distribution of all things. For now, however, there was no time to be stingy, I quickly unloaded most of the food I had stored and gave it to everyone so they could eat. Veggies, fruits, meat, and tons of prepared dishes I had done beforehand. This should be enough for everyone to feast.

"It is incredible the extent in which you care for these NPC, Planta..." Anikitty said.

"Well, for me they're all real." I said with a smile. "If you want to be my friends, you better respect all NPC you ever find, okay? This world to be is a living and breathing world."

"You've really gotten into the whole World Tree roleplay..." Laughed Achlys.

"Anyways, the way you built things was very fast, I remember it took you some time to shape things even, Lady Planta!" Said Acorn.

"Oh yeah, that must be because of this new Territory Management Ability I acquired... It is more like a system of its own? Or something." I said while wondering.

"What? Territory... Management? I had never heard of that before..." Titan said. "Could it be... did you discovered a new function?"

"Ahahah... M-Maybeee..." I said while not wanting him to freak out so much. "In fact the moment we made the first houses I've been getting tons of system messages, but I just ignore them, they get too much in the way."

However, now it was a good time to check them out for once.

I felt completely lost!
