Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

Pif is practicing bandaging using a doll made of wood. I just thought of such a thing not too long ago. The skinny young man was able to increase his medical stats and didn't have to stand still.

However, the young man was still frowning. Perhaps he felt such a thing was useless. Take it easy, Pif. The text 'Medic+' appears above your head. Meaning, your healing ability is really in the process of improving.

"Argh!" Not far from where Pif was, Seb lay down on the grass near some banana trees. Yesterday he moved the trees from where Leva found them to this colony. "I'll do this later!"

Hey, you just planted two Aloe Vera out of five. Those plants with thick green leaves and white specks are also essential, you know?

"Come, on. You just have to plant it a little longer." Leva, who was dragging the felled logs, chuckled at Seb. I deliberately shifted the woman's work from mining to cutting trees. This is so that the work of building a new shelter will be faster. I can't bear Seb and Leva sleeping outside the shelter. Even if it was of their own volition.

"Soon I'll do it." Seb sighed. "This plant isn't very important anyway."

"How dare you say this plant is not really important." Leva grumbled, but she didn't sound serious. "You don't want to see my and Kat's hair getting smoother and more beautiful?"

Yes, after Leva found the plant, I purposely asked Seb to move it here. The plant extract can be used by my girls for their hair.

I want them to be even more beautiful.

"Ah, he did it again." Leva looked at Manu, who was now carrying a handful of dry leaves.

Seb straightened up. "He answered vaguely when I asked him why he did that."

Manu put the leaves in another pile of dry leaves near a bush, then placed a large stone on top to reduce the effect of the gusts of wind.

Honestly, I'm worried about Manu's strange behavior. I didn't order him to do that. It was meaningless, and I couldn't possibly think of such a thing.

The bearded man then did what he was supposed to do: build a bigger shelter. Because of his recent behavior, he often wanders to collect those unimportant leaves, the progress of the building is hampered. He is still at the stage of laying the foundation, even though he has been doing the construction for three days.

Well, I just hope it won't trigger anything that would harm my colonists.

***

My feet landed on the grass again. I just logged back into this game after a long day of work. Since all of my colonists were still going about their routines, I did a fast forward. The sun moved so fast before finally setting.

After eating and chatting as usual at the bonfire, my colonist went to bed. Nothing special.

However, suddenly the fast-forward feature stopped itself, but the automatic pause was not triggered.

That means there is no threat.

Manu comes out of the shelter with careful steps. He checked Pif and Kat, who was sleeping in that place, then looked at Leva and Seb, sleeping outside on the dried and torn banana leaves.

What do you want to do, Manu? I was curious, but at the same time, worried about what might happen.

The bearded man reached for the leather sack I intended to store various items. The Sack, the size of a toddler, was still empty because Manu had just finished making it today.

"What do you mean!?"

Manu flinched at the sound of Leva's scream. He looked back and heaved a sigh of relief. Leva just babbled in her sleep. The woman was still asleep with her arms outstretched and legs spread apart.

The good thing is, Manu is a decent man, Seb is a coward, and Pif's body is weak, so they won't 'attack you' in that position, Leva.

Manu started putting the dry leaves he had collected into the Sack. I became more and more curious, clueless, and worried.

After observing his fellow colonists again for a moment, the bearded man took a piece of wood from the bonfire, then walked away from the place. He used the fiery wood in his hand like a torch.

I followed him and deliberately didn't wake the others to ask. Manu himself didn't want the others to know. If the man is found out, there is a possibility that he will back off and keep his mouth shut. So I wouldn't know what would happen.

I just need to call the other colonists if Manu turns out to be doing something dangerous.

Manu continued walking while carrying the leather sack filled with leaves. I fast-forwarded, and in no time, we arrived at an area full of dense trees.

This is where Kat got the wild boar and is supposed to be the home of the mad monkeys. After that incident, I did not order any of my colonists to come here. I don't want that incident to happen again.

Manu spilled the contents of the Sack he was carrying under a tree. In an instant, everything clicked in my head.

"Manu, stop that!" I screamed in the man's ear.

It's useless. Manu was still burning the leaves with the fiery stick in his hand.

[Hidden trait unlocked]

[Retaliator - There is a possibility that Manu will retaliate against an incident that upsets him, regardless of the consequences. His vengeance is usually greater than what befell him.]

Holy shit! He wanted to repay the monkeys by burning their habitat. I squeezed my head, realizing my own mistake. However, it was too late. The fire started to grow.

Manu turns to face me, and I flinch at that. Is he looking at me? Why are his eyes so fixed on me?

However, Manu walked and went through my body. As it turned out, he was only looking ahead, but coincidentally his eyes were on me.

Looks like I won't be able to forget Manu's expression just now. The man looked so calm, but I could see something in his eyes. Something that makes my heart ask; is this man okay?

As the sound of Manu's footsteps continued to drift away, I watched the fire rise higher and higher.
