Legendary Shelter Survival Guide

"Well, you did an awfully good job here huh bro." Sandra gave him a side hug and retracted her arms quickly. Lucas was mused by her actions but it was more by what she said.

"Bro?"

"Yeah, bro. Or do you want me to call you something else?" Sandra said seductively that Lucas caught on this time. He gave her his poker smile which by now everyone knew was a a poker one.

"Bro is good enough."

Haley retracted her arms and after congratulating him again, she pulled her sister away.

"Hey, what are you doing? Bro?"

"Yeah, I am tired of this competition, now let me go contact that cute cat. You wanna come?" Sandra asked while pointing at a darker shade tree.

"Uh, no thanks." Haley went away and Sandra could only smile. She only looked at Lucas talking to Sarah without them and could only shake her head with a small smile.

'No way we have a chance with him. But with this one? God yes.' Sandra thought while looking in the plain air.

It was what others could look but Sandra had a very peculiar gaze. While Lucas and Sandra had one thing in common, their eye skills.

Still, Sandra's was a bit different, she had no way of switching it off. It was as if her eyes were totally different than what they were once like.

She moved her hands to the air, nobody cared to look at her as they were engrossed in their own works. But from her perspective, she was doing something very extraordinary.

There was a small feline creature just inches from her hand floating in the air, most of its skin and flesh was not there making the pale yellow exposed bones to show themselves. The creature's eyes were dead while it moved its head toward Sandra.

Its dead-looking eyes widened and became normal again as if it was the first time it saw a being look directly at it as it wandered these forests for eons.

The creature took note of the extended hand and after a few seconds of looking at it, its floating body moved near the hand slowly. The feline touched the hand and then passed through it without problem as if it was just air.

Sandra smiled with pain in her eyes. She knew how lonely these creatures had been. Nobody could see them as they were dead yet they couldn't rest even after death.

They had to wander around without their bodies with no purpose in their life. Nothing to hunt, nothing to live for, no hunger, just floating around endlessly without being able to do anything but move here and there.

Even the movement had a restriction, they couldn't go far from their remnant dead bodies which was beyond complicated and Sandra didn't understand much but with Haley's help, she had the ability to now store creatures in the shelter by shifting these corpse remnants that were deep inside the land.

Sandra was not seen much in the shelter and this was the very reason, she was out there trying to bring as many spirit creatures with her as possible.

If one could look at the shelter with her eyes, they would not live in there for even a single second, there were thousands of creatures with horrifying looks ranging from a few feet in height to a whopping 12 feet floating around in the shelter's territory.

All spirits were accustomed to Sandra's presence and were happy when she took notice of them.

"In due time, my friend… in due time, I will be able to bring you back… Just wait." She tried to caress the feline's head that the feline longed for yet it just passed but her intention was well taken by the creature as it danced around her.

The formally limp creature floating in the air with a dead expression was now full of energy after thousands of years.

After a few hours, everyone was back in the shelter enjoying the menial enjoyments they could get.

They laughed around, cheered while eating meat, and drank potions that tasted a bit like beer.

All while the others were trying their best to train so that their life could be saved.

At this point in time, everyone had accepted that these situations were real and that they really needed to level their skill. But the procrastination and performing the bare minimum of survival had made them late.

Not many were like Lucas's group, they were still on average only level 3 while each person in Lucas's group had about 2 skills in level 5 on average till now, and still a month was left.

Haley cooked meals endlessly due to the supplies that they had to make in exchange for animal parts which the others used for their stuff. Haley's cooking was already level 5 and even halfway to level 6.

The bones that the shelter got from these trades were now being used by Sean to smith runes on them. The bombs were not really that hard to make so he made most of them and was going to reach level 5 anytime soon.

Not a single person in the group was hopeless when it came to training the skills. They had started early and now were mostly done.

Lucas's parents were honing too good to be true, while his mother's level was lower than his, her few skills were already above level 5 and still growing and his father was a monster when it came to leveling.

Lucas was sure the man had a skill in level 8 that he hadn't told him so as to no down grade Lucas's morale.

It is true what they say, the people around you are the ones that influence you the most. Lucas's parents influenced him and now the group was affected by this enthusiastic approach toward progression.

Lucas's sister, Tessa also had her main skill, 'Ice shards' in level 5 and it was a very deadly skill. She told Lucas that she could kill five goblins at once with her shards if she was safe enough to concentrate.
