Meanwhile, Ciella and I found ourselves in a land that corresponded with the Tropics. It was a very fertile land with lots of forest and the sea.

"Why did you choose to come with me? Are you enjoying this game?" I asked Ciella.

I was slightly concerned.

"I'm an aspiring Dream Knight. If this game could somehow help me understand the role of Dream Knights better, then it's an opportunity I can't afford to waste" Ciella said.

"You know Dream Knights are the Defenders of the Dreams Of Humans. Sometimes, that role involves fighting off evil Nightmares and sometimes...it involves guiding humans towards the fulfilment of their Dreams" I explained.

"So why did you choose this location?" Ciella asked.

"I chose it because of you" I said.

Ciella's eyes widened in surprise and then she blushed.

I noticed her flustered expression.

"I mean you're the least experienced in our group so I had to choose a location that could very easily support us both. Ariel isn't a combat type but a support type and that's why she chose a land that was very fertile too. Saito's abilities are geared towards combat and she's an amazing leader. That's why she chose to go with Ariel to at least play the role of the 'Hunter'. Keiran and Concordia as well as Arlene and Mitsuki have amazing ability in both combat and support so they chose very challenging lands. Keiran went with Concordia to neutralize potential jinxes directed against her and Mitsuki went with Arlene to do the same" I explained.

"I see. Stronger Dream Knights watch over less experienced ones" Ciella realized.

I looked over our initial tutorial and explained it to Ciella.

"For now, we need to find shelter from adverse weather conditions. Fortunately, we are in an area with lots of trees and a lot of the trees that usually grow close to the seaside usually have fronds" I explained.

"What do you intend to do?" Ciella asked.

"First, some light logging" I said as I crouched slightly.

In the next instant, I had disappeared. I streaked past a line of trees and sliced them across with a horizontal chop. The trees I hit fell to the ground.

"For starters, we need something sturdy for shelter. It doesn't necessarily have to be large" I said and measured each of the trees I had cut.

Then I chopped them into even suitable sizes after cutting off all the fronds. I left the logs out in the sun to dry. Next, I began to dig the foundation by breaking the solid earth and scooping it up with my fingers. Due to my immense physical strength and speed, it didn't take very long to complete the foundation and my HP and MP weren't significantly depleted. Next, I began to weave the fronds into ropes by intertwining them around one another. After completing that phase, I began to bind the evenly chopped wood together with the woven fronds. Ciella watched me as I worked. She seemed very impressed.

"I didn't know you were this capable" she admitted.

"Well, this is a form of Weaving and since I am a Dreamweaver, it sort of comes naturally to me" I explained.

Next, I began to set the bound logs into the foundation according to the rectangular pattern I had dug out. I refilled the foundation to enforce them and secured them by rebinding them with the ropes made out of woven fronds. When I ran out of logs, I cut more of them and repeated the process till the entire perimeter was completely covered with erected logs. After that process was complete, I began to focus on weaving more ropes out of fronds.
