Ethan wiped the sweat from his brow as he hoed the fertile ground, watching as new sprouts began to push their way up through the soil. His farm was thriving, and the demihumans he had saved were beginning to settle into their new lives. He felt a sense of pride and accomplishment, knowing that they had all come together to create something beautiful from nothing.

As he worked, a familiar sensation washed over him—a tingling that signaled the arrival of another system message. Ethan paused, looking up as the translucent text appeared before his eyes:

"Quest 2: Make Houses for the Slaves. Reward: Building Skills."

"Building Skills: Can summon any building tools of your imagination, even if they are from your world, Earth."

Ethan's heart skipped a beat. He accepted the quest without hesitation. This new skill would be invaluable in helping him provide proper homes for his new friends. He had already seen how powerful his Farming Skills were, and he couldn't wait to see what he could do with Building Skills.

With renewed energy, Ethan returned to his work. He planted the last of the seeds and then headed back to the center of their small clearing, where the demihumans were gathered, chatting and relaxing after a long day of building.

"Everyone, can I have your attention?" Ethan called out, his voice carrying over the sounds of conversation. The group quieted, turning their eyes to him with curiosity and respect. "We've made great progress so far, but we need proper houses. The system has given me a new quest—to build houses for all of us. And with it, I'll gain Building Skills that will help us a lot."

A murmur of excitement rippled through the crowd. The demihumans had already seen what Ethan could do with his Farming Skills, and they were eager to see what he could accomplish next.

Ethan smiled, feeling their enthusiasm bolster his own. "Let's get started. We'll need to gather materials and plan out the layout of our village. I'll handle the heavy lifting and summon the tools we need. Together, we can make this place truly our home."

With a clear plan in mind, the group dispersed to gather wood, stones, and other materials. Ethan, meanwhile, focused on his new Building Skills. He closed his eyes and imagined the tools he would need—hammers, saws, nails, and even modern equipment like drills and levels. When he opened his eyes, the tools materialized before him, shimmering with a faint magical glow.

He picked up a hammer, marveling at how familiar and comfortable it felt in his hand. This was no ordinary hammer; it was a tool of his imagination, perfectly suited to the task at hand.

"Alright," he said, turning to the gathered demihumans. "Let's build some houses."

Under Ethan's guidance, they began to construct the first house. The demihumans watched in awe as he effortlessly summoned the tools and materials they needed. He showed them how to measure and cut the wood, how to lay the foundation, and how to fit the pieces together.

With his Building Skills, the work progressed rapidly. Ethan could summon anything they needed—a ladder, a nail gun, even a cement mixer. The demihumans quickly picked up the skills he taught them, and soon they were working together like a well-oiled machine.

As they worked, Ethan couldn't help but feel a deep sense of fulfillment. This was more than just building houses; it was building a community. He had never felt more connected to a group of people, never felt more responsible for their well-being.

The first house was completed by nightfall. It was a modest structure, but it was sturdy and well-built, with enough space for several people to live comfortably. The demihumans cheered as they stood back to admire their work, pride shining in their eyes.
