Once Ben was far from the large clearing he began to gather material to train his production skills.
The first thing he needed according to the knowledge given to him was 3 types of rocks. One rock needs to be hard as it would be the hammer rock, and the other needs to be soft, and finally, a rock that is brittle but sturdy.
For the Axes head, he found Quartzite which was a good source rock to make a head out of. Using a large and very hard rock, he started chipping away at the quartzite using the hardest rock which didn’t chip away.
There were a few mishaps as it didn’t work the first time, but he kept trying until he managed to get the axe head to a good shape. Then using the softer rock he sharped the sides of it.
Afterward, he used a branch he found on the ground and began to attach the head to it. By carving a good hole where it could stay perfectly.
Once the Axe was finished, Ben checked how much proficiency he got with the skill.
“Nice! It's going up!” said Ben happily. But he wasn’t done just yet! He began to craft a lot of different axes, consequently, he found that he should build on flat surfaces which made it easier to work with.
The Axes he was making were getting better and better. The process of making it was getting easier as well as he understood how it works now.
By around 3 hours a lot of axes laid under his feet as he checked his proficiency again.
“Nice, another 3 hours, and I will be done with this.” Said Ben as he picked up another set of material to build and Axe. but as he was in the process of making the blue screen appeared before him.
Seeing this Ben stood up from where he sat next to a large flat rock and headed back to the clearing. Along the way, he could see others like him who had been staying in the forest going back as well.
When Ben arrived at the clearing, he was shocked when he saw thousands of people all crowded into different groups. The atmosphere was very heavy since every group had been made and if you weren't in their group, you where not to be trusted.
There were around 8 really large groups with over 10,000 people in them. Then there were 15 smaller ones with around 6-700 in each of them. Then there were the people who wanted to solo and live alone, there were around 150 of them sitting all over the place, far from the other groups.
When Ben sat down on a rock at the edge of the clearing he saw an old lady sitting by herself with a magic staff in hand. He wondered why she hadn’t joined any of the groups around.
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
Noticing him looking at her the old lady turned to look at him and smiled. Ben stands up and bows in respect to her as a voice echoed through the clearing.
Everyone tensed up as it spoke.
As the voice continued, a few people including Ben brought out their journals and ink to begin writing down important information.
Ben Had scribbled hell in his journal noting down very important things he needed to know. Things that would be very helpful to survive.
Others were doing the same as him, while a few people weren't even paying attention to what the view was saying and joking around.
Then the screens disappeared and a large stone portal rose from the center of the clearing with blue lights shining over it. One guy along with a few of his friends decided to go immediately. And as soon as they stepped through it they were completely gone.
Some people followed suit, but everyone else stayed behind. All the groups had stayed back to do as the voices said.
