After both Solomon and Loretta gave an amazed whistle both went over the uses of each others skills.
After a few minutes Loretta breaks the silence beteen them." Hey Solomon what does Engineering do I dont
understand the use of the skill? "
After thinking about her question a bit Solomon ask her a counter question. " What does the system say? "
Being slightly Loretta was going to start a little argument but then she decided to just give a straight
answer. " The branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines,
machines, and structures. "
" Alright Ill explain, engineering is basically like blacksmithing mixed with crafting mixed with enchanting
mixed with architectual work. An engineer uses tiny parts to make things called machines/ motors. Umm you
remeber when we were in that fairy country and we saw an item I called a pocket watch, that could be a
instance of engineering. "
After a few seconds of staring blankly Loretta suddenly has a bright look like she just rembered her
birthday.
" Does that mean you can build me a pocket watch? I really wanted one but the seller was a rascist douche. "
" I could not build you one right now for a few reasons I dont have the parts, or the blueprint, and I have
never actually seen how to build a watch but I now you need some precise tools. "
After he said that Solomon could see a very downcast look on his beautiful wifes face.
" But I could build you something called a digital watch and make it look like a pocket watch. It would be
extremely easy with some enchanting and wood working. "
" Really! "
Loretta instantly picks Solomon up in a massive hug, and even gives him a few kisses.
" Hahaha. Anyway lets go to the shed so I can build this pocket watch for you. After that I want you to join
me for some house hunting, so that we can move soon. I want to find somewhere with more Mana and a better
enviroment then where we live now. Plus we need to choose a new technique from master. "
" Since when do you want to do something other than train? "
" This is pretty vital stuff to get out of the way plus training has been pretty easy lately so I figured
its the perferct time to get things done. "
" Alright sounds reasonable, then lets find a location to move and then after we build our house we can get
my pocketwatch made. Then we can get our free skill from Master last, we arent in a big rush for new skills
anyway, right? "
" Yep, then lets go, I have searched a map and pointed out a few locations I know we will both like. Here
let me show you a few. "
" Alright. "
" Okay so this first one is pretty deep in no mans land, a few hundred million years ago a massive race war
took place there. So you can count on negative energy, matter of fact a few spots within a few miles of this
area have manifestations of warriors that fought in the battle. "
" That sounds good to me but what about you? Surely you arent a big fan of the location. "
" I actually love it, because there are zero sentient beings within 1000 miles of this spot, the Mana is so
dense I could cut it, and there is a perpetual drizzle of blood with no sunlight through the clouds. Now I
aint the biggest fan a blood rain but I might be able to get used to it, thats why we are going to check it
out. "
" Alright then you want to get into our world, I want to practice a new race skill mom told mke about. "
" Sure babe, just tell me when you get there I am going to practice a few designs for your pocket watch. "
" Alright see ya babe. "
After Solomon got into his and his wifes personal world Loretta seemed to disappear into the void only to
re-appear a few feet forward. What she was practiceign was the skill her mothers race is most famous for.
The skill is a type of space walking skill, it allows the user to enter the void and almost teleport
forward. The only bad thing about the skill is the difficulty of increasing the distance one could travel,
even Loretta one of the most talented beings in space magic could only travel three feet or so. Though once
someone gets good at the skill they could travel the massive expanse of space in seconds.
Inside the unnamed world created by Solomon and his wife one could see a handsome monkey human drawing a few
design on a peice of animal skin. What he was drawing looks like a pocket watch big enough to fit in an
average humans hand, the design he was drawing on the surface of the watch was of him and Loretta holding
hands side by side walking towards and army of enemies. Though no matter how poetic the sketch Solomon was
very un-happy with it.
" No! This is way to sappy, she''ll think Im a pansy. Its gotta look rugged but at the same time it has to
tell her I love her. "
After the helpless man yelled at himself he decided to take a trip around one of the un-inhabitated
continents of his and Lorettas world. The world itself had nothing living in it except for the countless
magical plants Solomon and Loretta had planted on it. After they had planted the plants they had added a
time increase enchant on the worlds barrier that housed it, they did this so that they plants that tooks
millions of years to reach maturity didnt actually take one million years to grow. The time that had passed
in the barrier was at least 300,000 years or so, thanks to this Solomon and Loretta have basically an
unlimited supply of almost impossible to find plants. Though they had barely any use for most of them, the
reason they kept the plants was for the plants Mana purifying effect. Mana plants live off of Mana, meaning
they absorb Mana run it through their bodies for nourishment and then pump out less but more purified Mana.
This is the reason many big clans will have gardens just for unusable Mana plants, Solomon and Loretta did

While Solomon was looking around the lonely palnet Loretta was advancing her skill while traveling through
the forest. She has gotten to moving around 100 or so feet forward with each jump. If one was to watch her
closely they could see that she went just a little further with every jump. If somebody who knew the
difficulty were to watch the constant advancement Loretta is having with the skill they would be so
surprised their mouth would hit the floor.
A few hours Loretta finally reached they area on the map marked by Solomon. When she reached they spot she
had reached the 500 hundred feet a jump milestone she had made for her self. After she stopped and looked
around she got goosebumps simply from the chaotic atmosphere surrounding the land around her. The land
within 10,000 feet of her was was a flat plain with zero plants or wildlife growing. Maybe one could count
the level 30 vultures in the sky as wildlife, but as there were no trees for them to live in Loretta did not
count them. As Solomon had said it was raining a smelly red substance from the sky, Loretta being a creepy
maniac stuck out her tongue to see if the rain tasted like blood, it did. After walking around for a few
minutes Loretta decided to get Solomon out so she could get his opinion.
" So what do you think hun? "
" Ohh you called me hun, that must mean you are in a good mood. Anyway there arent any trees or plantlife
which is crappy, but that can be fixed, it smells like dead fish, iron, and rotting meat. The raining blood
is sticky which would get annoying very fast, plus it stains our clothes and skin super fast. Sorry to say
babe but I dont like it, but before you get upset keep in mind we have quite a few places to check out
still.
" '' Sigh '' Alright show me the places on the map Ill take us. "
" Ok, then this next spot is on the edge of the forest in Golem territory, the spot I have marked is in some
ruins of an old desert civilization. Its barely been explored so nobody has any idea why the city that was
there was destroyed or deserted, which could be fun for us.
And so began an entire month of adventure for Solomon and Loretta who were trying to find the perfect place
to live. Some times they would travel Together sometimes they would travel solo, they went from deserts, to
mountains, to beaches, to chaparral, and even grassland out of the Forest of Giants. Unfortunately they
couldnt find a spot that they both loved and both were starting to feel annoyed, they were on there way to
the last spot before they decided to give up and get back to training.
" So can you expalin this last spot to me one last time. "
" Yes, it is a small hill with a magical metal vein sasticking out of the top, the metal attracts constant
lightning. It has been hit so many times matter of fact that the metal itself is more pure than what an
average blacksmith could produce, the metal has also picked up a natural lightning attribute. The vein is
smack dab between a dwarf and human country who both want it, leading to a constant military conflict
between them. Though the fight has gone on long enough that both countries just want the other dead and dont
care as much about the lightning. "
" Alright so this is basically the perfect spot, at least in words for all we know it could be a molehill
with a coin on top which some kids are fighting over. "
" Could be, maybe we could be the deciding factor, we could each choose one to train and then make them
fight to the death a year later. "
" GOD DAMN SOLOMON! Thats a great idea I wish I thought of it. "
" Hehehe Im joking you crazy lady, anyway get a move on I already have your pocket wath built I have just
been waiting to give it to you. I am going back inside our world. "
" See ya hun. "
A few hours later Loretta reached the top of the hill listed on the map, the hill itself was not very large
but it was very wide compared to the average hill one could see. To the north, east, and south is other
hills but to the west, south west, and north west is a vast plain with two massive army camps on either
edge. There is a very large thunder storm covering not only all the hills but even the entire plains, oddly
though lightning only strikes the hill Loretta is on. Loretta alerts Solomon to come out of the world to
discuss the location.
" So babe what do you think? "
" I love it but I gotta ask what happens when one of the countries wins and decides to attack us? "
" I have planned some formations involving lightning that could block against at least level 60''s. And
before you ask both of the countries only have level 40''s to 50''s. "
" Alright then this place is perfect, we have lightning wood in our world barrier right. I just kind of feel
regretful that we cant use the ancient battle field. "
" Well I have been thinking and I figured we could use the battle field as a vacation home, I have even
grown some blood wood that will make the death aura stronger. "
When Solomon said that Loretta once again picks him and showers him with kisses even going so far as to call
him the best husband in existence. After a few minutes of that they decide to wait in there world for a few
hours until nightfall so that they could get the materials needed for their house.
When night finally came Solomon arranged a barrier on a flat part of the hill over looking the battlefield,
the barrier is to get the shape of the house to build quicker and easier. Solomon used some perfect cut
peices of poplar planks, for the studs of their house. For the outer layer wood of the house a special kind
of mortar that looks like a mix of light blue and gray, on top of the house for the roof Solomon decided on
an orange tile that doesnt match the walls at all. In order to get good use of the Lightning wood Loretta
and Solomon decided to build a porch that they can relax on while watching skirmishes.
Solomon used nails that he got specially made by Pater before they started house searching, when he finally
got everything nailed down and sturdy he moved on to enchantments. For the formations he made a massive
barrier covering the entire hill, the enchantments he engraved on the barrier made it so that anybody who
walks on to the mountain is struck by lighning. That is unless they are approved by Solomon or Loretta,
after he finished the ligtning enchant he moved onto another barrier enchant that covered just the house and
porch. He engraved multiple shield and barrier enchantments onto his barrier making it tough enough to
withstand level 70''s.
By the time he was done with all of that it was just about to reach noon time, Loretta came out of the world
where she had been waiting for Solomon to finish his buisness. As a reward to Solomon for a great job she
asked him if he wanted to go to bed together and test their new bed, of course they cant have sex yet as
Solomon hasnt finished puberty. He cant wait for the day that is soon to come. While they were cuddling, or the closest thing a centuar and dragon monkey can get to cuddling, Solomon asked Loretta a question.
" Do you think the house is counted as and item that can be appraised? "
" I dont see why not, they pocket watch you built me is an item and its like a bunch of mini parts put together like the house. "
" Appraise. . . . . . . Nothing happened, I guess it doesnt get counted, I wonder why. "
" Who knows the universe works in mysterious ways. Anyway thank you again for the gift hun you really didnt have to do this for me. "
As she says that Loretta looks at a wooden pocket watch with a design of Solomon looking at Loretta with hearts in his eyes. The design is so detailed it almost looks like the hearts are moving in his eyes, the portrait of Loretta is simple with it being just her face with a small smile that can just barely capture some of her beauty. When she opens the watch the ceiling of the locket has a small message from Solomon. " I love you Loretta. " Under the engraving are for square that tell the time it currently says 12:27 P.M. Loretta instantly fell in love with the watch.
" Anyway now that we have our house picked out we have to set up some teleportation formations out Masters and our parents house. We also need to choose the free skill from Master. "
" We can do it tomorrow for now I just want to enjoy being together with you. '' Smooch '' "
" Hehehe sounds good to me. "
