"How many Ethereals are there?"

"Hmm, there are hundreds of them," she answered.

"Do you need anything else?" she asked,

"Where do we live? I haven't seen any house at all since I woke up in this world."

"That one is up to you, you can build your house anywhere. Any supplies you need in your mission are available in this place. I can show you some houses and all you must do is bury them in the ground and they will stand on their own. You haven't seen houses because most built their farther from here. I'll give a map, but there's always civilization around in here"

"That's a HighTech thing you got there," I mumbled in surprise. I'm guessing a lot of people lost hope from what she mentioned.

"That's all-magic dear, but if I may suggest. It is best to move places. Ethereals will have more chances to see you that way, meaning you will have more chances to gain a blessing."

"That sounds like an amazing idea. would it be possible to re-bury a house though?"

"We have other house options for travelling entities like you. You just have to set them on the ground, and they will build themselves. Once you're ready to move, you have the controller to unbuild it and then bring it until you set a new place."

"That's very convenient. I'll choose that one, do I have to pay for anything in here?" I asked in wonder; I don't have any money with me to pay for anything that she's offering if it comes with a price.

"Everything is free! You don't have to worry about anything, dear."

"Let's view the available houses and then you can go ahead and grab anything that you'd like to come with you on your mission." I followed her as she went behind the counter and took out a portfolio.

"Here you go, it'll be easier to look through here, you can customize some of them if you feel like changing something."

"Thank you." I said as she went to entertain some other people that entered the village.

I flipped through the pages and looked for a simple house suitable for me. Most of the designs are similar to the homes from the modern world, or my world for that matter. I kind of want a swimming pool inside my place.

A small two-story house caught my attention. The inside is very spacious and I could probably move the furniture to make room for a swimming pool on the left side of the house. When you enter the main door, you'll immediately be greeted with the kitchen which is on the right side, the living room is on the left spacious area, and upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower-bathtub combination.

"Hey, Lizzy?" I called out wanting to bounce my idea off her before deciding.

"Yes, dear? Have you chosen yet?"

"Do you think it's possible to incorporate a swimming pool in this area?" I pointed to the correct section as I explained.

"Hold on, Fred! Come over here." she yelled, surprising me.

"Sorry about that dear, Fred is in charge of the houses and would know better than me." She finished as Fred came closer to see what I'm pointing at.

"She wants a swimming pool in this area." She repeated for me, and he nodded for me to go on, so I continued.

"We can move the living room here on the entrance, then I'll have an open setting. The kitchen is spacious enough that I can move the dining area within I, I'm thinking this counter cold act as my dining table and we can set four high stools around it.. The flooring should be elevated a bit to ensure that the water won't touch it. What do you say?"
