It was late into the night when the feast died down. The whole village slept in the barracks that night. As for Ray, he walked over to the fortress.
"Prime patrols the village. I'll be in the fortress." Said Ray. "Yes, Thorzen. Said Prime. (telepathy).
"Athena, do I have enough material to create the perimeter wall?" Asked Ray.
"Yes, Ray. You could create the perimeter wall." Said Athena.
"What about four towers?" Asked Ray.
"That is not a problem for you." Said Athena.
"Great, I'll build them tomorrow morning." Said Ray.
"Athena, can I make a gun from my old world?" Asked Ray.
"Technically, you could, Ray, but it's not an item that's been created in this world. It is a forbidden creation at this time." Said Athena.
"What if someone else created a gun and then I assimilated it?" Asked Ray.
"That would be acceptable, Ray. Consider this: if you were to bring guns into this world, it would make conquering this world extremely hard. This world is centuries away from creating guns on its own," said Athena.
"Ok. I get it, Athena, I'll stick to this world's weapons. Tomorrow I'll prepare to take out the orcs." Said, Ray
"Yes, Ray, that's a good idea. Remember to assimilate as much as possible, " Athena said.
"I will, Athena." Said Ray.
Ray explores the fortress. As you enter the fortress, you walk into a large waiting room. Directly in front of you is a double door; there are single doors to the left and right. In the left corner is a staircase leading to the second floor. In the right corner are a staircase leading to the cellar and the prison. You will walk into the throne room if you enter the double doors. Either the left or the right door will take you to a passageway. Each end of the passageway is the entrance to the towers. The second floor is mainly a living space. The top of the towers is used for lookouts and archers.
"It's pretty late, I think I'll sleep here tonight." Said Ray.
Ray enters the bedroom meant for the lord of the fortress. It's a big master room with basic furniture and necessities. Ray cleans up and goes to bed.
That morning, he gets up early and heads straight for the village's perimeter.
"Prime, how was your patrol today?" Asked Ray. (Telepathy).
"Everything is good, Thorzen." Said Prime. (Telepathy).
"Well, continue patrolling." Said Ray. (Telepathy).
"Yes, Thorzen. Said Prime. (Telepathy).
Ray reaches the village's outer perimeter and puts both hands on the ground.
"Athena, activate defensive wall blueprint." Said Ray.
The image of the defensive wall appears in Ray's mind. Ray stretches the wall from the lakeshore to the base of the cliffs on top of the northern cliff and from the river to the southwest cliffs while following the perimeter of the protective barrier.
"Create." Said Ray.
Liquidity mass appears around Ray's hands, expands, and forms the defensive wall. Loud-breaking, smashing noises can be heard throughout the village as the wall forms around the perimeter, destroying trees and rocks.

A defensive wall was created. 5000 XP gained.
All the villagers wake up and rush out of the barracks to see what all the ruckus is about. What they see is a 20-foot-tall wall. It has two gates, one at the south wall and one on the north. Every single one of the clan members is awestruck by the appearance of the wall.
Ray sees the members of his clan gathering around and talking about the wall. He heads over towards the barracks and spots Zek and Zel. Ray calls for the pair to come with him. After the three meet, Ray tells them that they will be in charge while he is gone.
"Zek, I want you and Zel to have the clan continue clearing and gathering within the walls. Don't allow anyone into the cave. The hunting party may leave the walls if they can't find anything to hunt within the walls. Send three kobolds to the north gate and have them wait for me. I want two warriors and one hunter to accompany me, and Prime will be coming. I will create four watchtowers, so send them over within one hour." Said Ray.
"Yes, chief, we will get the tasks done, " said Zek. Zek nodded his head, and the two kobolds headed off to begin their tasks.
Ray heads to the South Gate. As he arrives, he inspects the gate. Facing south, Ray heads left of the gate. He puts both hands on the ground.
"Athena, activate the watchtower blueprint," said Ray. The image of the watchtower blueprint appears in Ray's mind. "Create, " said Ray. A liquid mass appears around Ray's hands and expands out, forming the watchtower.
The watchtower is 50 feet tall and has a ladder to climb up.

Watchtower created. 5000 XP gained.
Ray heads towards the fortress. As he approaches the stacked lumber, Ray assimilates his max capacity. Then he continues towards the fortress. Ray gets to the fortress and inspects the cliffs behind it. "That looks like a good spot for some stairs, " said Ray.
Ray walks towards the cliff and places both hands on the ground. Ray creates a staircase leading up to the top of the cliffs.
"Prime, meet me at the northern gate." Said Ray. (Telepathy).
"Yes, Thorzen." Said Prime. (Telepathy).
Ray climbs the stairs. "Man, that's a lot of stairs." Said Ray. Ray makes it to the top. Near the ledge of the cliff, Ray creates the second watchtower. Ray heads north following the ledge of the cliff. The cliff ledge starts to curve towards the east. Ray follows the ledge.
After walking east for thirty minutes, Ray hears water flowing. Ray reaches the river and the waterfall. Ray looks down at the village. "What a beautiful view." Ray thought. After a few minutes of observation, Ray heads north about 100 feet.
"I'll create a bridge, " said Ray, placing his hand on the ground. Hmm, since I don't have a blueprint for a bridge, I'll have to create it piece by piece, " said Ray. It took Ray thirty minutes to complete the bridge.

Bridge created. 5000 XP gained.
"Congratulations, Ray, on creating a bridge without a blueprint, " Athena said.
"Thank you, Athena." Said Ray.
Ray continues east until he reaches the wall. He heads towards the edge of the cliff, creating the third watchtower. Ray heads towards the bridge. As Ray crosses the bridge, he sees Prime approaching. "Prime, let's head to the northern gate, " said Ray (Telepathy).
"Yes, Thorzen." (Telepathy).
They walk for fifteen minutes and arrive at the northern gate, facing north. Ray creates the fourth and final watchtower to the left of the gate. As Ray finishes the watchtower, the three kobolds appear.
"Chief, we are here." Said the kobolds.
Thorzen turns and greets them.
