I wake up back in HavenFall next to Gobi's training field. A system ssage popped in from of , the random gift from the GM.
[ Sorry for the inconvenience our server maintenance may have caused. In order to reward those that have been patient, we have decided to give everyone a random gift. ]
After I finished reading the ssage I click on the ssage and with a puff of white smoke a small white box with a golden ribbon tied around it appeared in the air. I grab hold of it quickly in case it was going to fall.
[ Random Gift Box
Inside contains an item or items of various rarity. Untie the ribbon and open the lid to obtain the item or items ]
This is it.
Sothing of complete RNG.
I am ready.
My luck stat was made for this.
I breathe in deeply. Slowly pulling the golden ribbon away as if it was sothing precious. My heart races faster than an F1 car and sweat could be seen rolling down the side of my cheek. I have to pull that ultra-rare item no matter what or else I would feel so bad with increasing my luck.
The ribbon slowly unties.
It falls around the box and is only being held up by my hand.
It's ti.
Another deep breath.
I pull the lid off the box and a golden shine appears.
"THIS IS IT. THIS IS IT!"
The light slowly fades and I gulp down my saliva. I slowly peek inside and I see a small circular badge.
"What…"
I felt sowhat disappointed. It wasn't a master sword or like a legendary herb or like a rare monster but a badge. It was mainly brown with a white curved area in the middle and 12 small brown rectangles in the middle over the white area. The 12 rectangles were separated into 2 groups of 6s with a small gap between the two groups. Sighing, I put my hand in the box and pick up the badge so I can see the traits.
[ Badge of the Zulus
Use in an open space to create an Ikanda. Make sure there are no obstructing objects when using the badge. ]
"An Ikanda…? What is that?"
For the first ti, I wished I could search up in Google what the aning of a word was in the ga. I didn't know of the Zulus or the Ikanda but I'm guessing they were an ancient tribe that road the world a long, long ti before I was born.
I look around to see where I could place down the badge and I decided to do it close to the training field, next to it to be exact. When I thought about placing the badge down, I got to see a blue square outline on the ground, symbolizing the placent of the building. If I turn to a place where there is sothing already there then the blue square turns red. I turn around and move slightly until the blue square lines up with the barracks, making sure there is a small gap between the two buildings.
Ready to use the badge, I place it on the ground but then a pop-up appears.
[ Are you sure about the placent? You can NOT change it afterward. ]
"Yes"
Once I said yes, the badge lts into the ground. A black line appears around the periter and slowly it fills in with black. Once completely filled, it becos gel-like slowly congealing and morphing upwards. I could make out so horn-like structure from the shapes the gel was forming into and after a while the black gel bursts into black smoke completely covering the building. I step back while I wait for the smoke to disperse, I can see Gobi and so of the goblins coming closer, curious about the black smoke.
"Leader Ian is this so sort of black magic?"
"No Gobi, nothing of that sort. It's a building and I'm waiting to see what it is."
"Well, it's starting to clear up."
The building looked very intimidating. It looked to be like the size of our clay houses with a brown clay-like structure and leather-like padding sewn together covering the sides as well as, a large wooden door at the front and right above it was two bull horns protruding outwards, large enough that it as long as the front wall.
"It looks kind of scary, Leader Ian."
"It does…"
I walk towards it and as I was a step away from the door the system ssage pops up allowing to see the description of the building.
[ Ikanda
A building where troops can be trained the ways of the Zulus. It is a unique building belonging to the Zulus. Troops trained in the Ikanda will gain special passive skills.
Buffalo Horns: 5 Agility, 25% Flank Attack Bonus Damage, 10% Defense against Ranged Attacks

"This…This is INSANE! I DID GET THAT S-TIER DROP. LET'S GO!"
I shouted at the top of my lungs as I finished reading the description. The new building is amazing. Not only does it give flat stats but also scaling stats, both offensive and defensive. The only drawback is that the ti fra between each unit would vary greatly. In so lucky cases the unit can co out in a day or maybe even less I don't know but in the worse case, it might take days, weeks, months maybe even years. Since there was no minimum or maximum number in the description then the ti fra for each unit will be up to them when it cos to learning it. A positive outco is that once the unit is finished the next unit can imdiately go next.
Now, who goes first? Should I have one of the goblins try it out? Or maybe David or Howard? Even the demi-humans could work. Who would get the most value out of this while also finishing it quickly? I rack my brain for a bit thinking about the different options until I heard Gobi's voice behind . I had forgotten that so of the goblins were right behind curious about the building
"Leader Ian, are you okay? Is sothing wrong?"
"Ah, sorry Gobi I was lost in my thoughts. This building allows people to walk in and train themselves however, the ti inside depends on the person. It can be short and it can take a long ti."
"Oh, so it's a training field but special?"
"Yep, exactly. I want to eventually have all our warriors try it and co out victorious, however, I'm not sure who to go first."
"Why not let Luke try?"
"No, I want him and his companions to rest and enjoy so peace and quiet."
"A goblin?"
"Do you think anyone is strong enough to co out quickly? Since you trained all the goblins I want your opinion on it."
"If you want my honest opinion then no. Even myself, I do not think we are worthy to try it. We are slow. We are weak. However, we can eliminate that weakness with our numbers. That is what we goblins are good at. If this place is sothing that only allows 1 person inside then I suggest one of the humans or demi-humans try it first and then co out with the knowledge of how to complete the challenges inside. In the anti, I will continue to train everyone on a more one-on-one basis, rather than a team."
"If you say so. Who should be the one then?"
"Howard, David, Noah, Kingston. There are so strong demi-human individuals however, they lack a lot of the basics which is why they join in training when they are not constructing."
"Maybe I should let Kingston…"
"That would be a wise choice, Leader Ian. He is strong by himself and is capable of making his own decisions."
"Alright, get soone to bring him here."
"Of course, Ginini go get Kingston. He is most likely down at the canyon near the kilns."
"Yes, Boss Gobi."
I watch as Ginini runs away in search of Kingston while Gobi brings the rest of the goblins away to continue training. I see that he is already implenting one-on-one training by making the goblins spar against each other with wooden swords and spears. After a while I see Ginini coming back with Kingston right behind him.
"Yo, you wanted to see ?"
"Yea. Ginini you can go back to training."
"Yes, Leader Ian."
"Kingston, this building allows a person to train and get a passive skill."
"WHAT THAT'S INSANE! A free skill?"
"Yep, but there is a catch."
"Hit with it."
"The amount of ti in there depends on the individual. I also do not know what you will experience inside. I thought I would let you try first out of all the NPCs since we can communicate outside of the ga while you are inside in case you do not finish the training today."
"Wait, are you telling this might take days?"
"I don't know. There is no ti limit or duration in the description. Look for yourself."
Kingston walks forward a bit until he was a step away from the building and like , he stands there reading the building description.
"Okay, I get what you an by it might take like an hour or it might take days."
"Right? That's why I thought you should try. At least this way you can have help in case it does take a long ti to complete it."
"The skills are insane too."
"Yep. How are your current stats? Tell ?"
"Sure;
Na: Kingston
Race: Human
Health Points (HP): 18/18
Mana Points (MP): 0/0
Strength: 12
Vitality: 9
Intelligence: 5
Dexterity: 5
Agility: 5
Luck: 1"
"Oh, you have increased strength and vitality? How did that happen?"
"When I was part of Phil's group we found so ancient ruins. Opening it gave so stats however, from what you told about so of the NPC's stats I am super weak. I was only able to get by because of the armor and weapons you gave ."
"That is true. But after you complete the training I think you would get so stats. Maybe even so extra stats, who knows. How are you feeling?"
"I'll do it obviously. I'll also take the best equips I can get in order to increase my chances."
"Yea, I was going to get that for you. Let's go the Barracks and Armory is right here."
Kingston and I went into the Barracks and Armory to find the best equips we could get for Kingston. Equipping on the wooden helt, stone chest plate, wooden arm and leg guards, as well as the golem stone spear and a stone shield.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready as I will every be dude."
"Okay, tell how it goes if you don't finish it during today's ti."
"Will do but watch co out in 1 hour."
"Good luck!"
"Cya bro."
Kingston opens the door and I was able to grab a peek inside it before it closes behind him. However, all I saw was a dark empty room.
