God is a Game Designer 31 C31 Planning for the Future.

Nathan sat inside the main tent, the groups around him working as he watched Lee give out commands to the soldiers, each team running about almost like headless chickens, he could see two areas in the distance that had been pre-dug with work starting to building more permanent housing.

One of the more redeeming factors about the vortex was that it hardly ever rained, one did not worry about items getting wet within such an area.

Inside the tent currently working was Feya, Kai, Ameria, Lee and Auryn. Everyone now working on the current issues as Nathan just sat back and relaxed, he had created this incredible land, but he still had much to discuss with them all, including the next parts of the construction.

"Currently, we are doing well. Looking at the amount of food the already filled fields, we will receive roughly twice the amount of food per month than an average field. The growth is slow but still much faster than normal." Auryn spoke, she did not understand her new power all to well, but she could still grasp this.

"The fruit trees are another story, the growth for the fruit seems to be much faster, the fruits tend to grow back rather fast. Normally a tree would give around 60 to 80 kilograms of food each year depending on the time frame in the climates they grow; it seems they will give us this amount each month at the rate of growth."

Everyone took a deep intake of breath, eyes looking at the man who had done this all. This kind of food production was the largest in the entire vortex, everyone who fought for scraps would envision this place for as pure paradise.

Water, Food and Security of the Demigod. This was what everyone dreamed about inside the vortex, that and escaping. This place had it all and yet was only just founded, something strange was bound to attract people, including the Dusk Order.

"Next is in regards to the forest, the forest is made out of massive trees made out of beautiful wood, it's perfect. I've never seen any trees like this before."

Auryn spoke before Nathan would interject as he knew the forest before, he had seen these trees when he took his last holiday, his only holiday abroad.

"It's Redwood, Large trees that are good for construction and timber."

He had remembered the magnificent redwood forest in his old world, the only time he went on holiday to see a forest, he was initially sceptical but the cheap holiday gave him the excuse to see it. He was still glad to this day as he left that forest with his breath stolen and his heart missing a small piece.

"It's good for Timber and Construction; the only issue is that the trees as so massive that we are struggling to cut them down, we have some tools but currently we lack to take the largest ones down, we have to cut the smallest ones down."

Lee Shee would say, his arms crossing before his hand moved slowly up to his face, stroking his chin again as he began to sigh. Ameria was staring at him as she would nudge him. "Father you are doing the thing again."

Lee started to cough as he pulled away from his hand, shaking his head as his eyes looked at everyone else.

"Food and water are good, but everything else is rather grim. Let me list out the things we need right now."

Pulling out the list, it was clear how much of a dire situation the future village would be in, many items on the list included primary materials, tools, medicine, weapons and armour, ingots, stations and the list goes on.

Nathan stared at the list with intent as he did not have powers that could help with such a thing, his influences included fertility, aqua and bow. These helped with the basics, but he could not help with construction, items or anything advanced.

Feya nodded to the list as well as she then spoke up, looking at them as she sighed.

"Well, It seems we have only one solution, trade."

Everyone began to nod as this was currently the only viable solution, trading with another town for the necessary resources was possibly the best plan to gain the resources necessary they had to gather.

"What do you think Nathan?"

Auryn spoke as she looked at him, her smile gently as she was encouraging him to speak up.

"If it's down to me, I think a trade is the best plan; we have to be careful though. We just routed an Army of the Dusk Goddess, I doubt they will leave us alone and when she finds out another Demigod is alive, I really can't guarantee that she won't come herself."

His words brought doom as they hit them all rather hard, everyone looking to each other before back at him.

"We have food, water and wood. Valuable Resources in this horrible land we now call home; we should use this bargaining chip, we need to think of a place to trade with."

Everyone was quiet as they tried to think, again it was general Lee who spoke up.

"I know of one group that will trade. They are a perfect match for us, though, in the end, it may be impossible to even speak to them."

Nathan was interested as he slowly leaned forward, looking at the General who was trying to find the correct words.

"Sengi Underway, Over two years ago I was tasked with leading a scouting party to convince them to join the Dusk Order in the Vortex, this failed mainly due to the hatred. It started out as a group of Dwarfs, Dark Elves and other creatures that could not bear direct sunlight."

He pulled open the map, pointing to the northeast of the vortex, showing a rather vast open expanse of rocks, sand and more desert.

"It's built under the sand, deep in the rocks. This place produces tools, weapons, armour, metals and many different pieces of equipment."

Nathan brightly smiled as he listened to this news. "They hate the Dusk Order because of religious tensions; I can already tell they will be suffering from lack of food and lumber in such a place. Its the perfect trading partner!"

Nathan nodded as he stood, moving up to the table. "Ask Kaye for some of the few kinds of transport they have spare. If we take food, water and some lumber and offer it as a trade, then we may be able to get things set up with them."

Everyone began to agree; they would start this work, though Nathan would make one suggestion. "I will go with Auryn, that will be the best. Dark Elves should be somewhat receptive of Auryn, humans who are normally loyal to the Dusk Goddess may cause some issues."

"Let's get this done. Pack up Auryn as we have some travelling to do!"
