Chapter 69 - Living large and small

Villager 5-"It's been two days now and still nobody has woken up yet. It's time for us to get outside help"

Villager 3-"We already had a healer come to check on them, they said they could have been woken up by a stamina recovery but that it would be better to let them wake up on their own"

Villager 5-"I know but I'm worried about them being asleep too long which can't be good"

Villager 3-"I hope everyone will be alright. Once everyone wakes up we'll be able to see if those visitors were telling the truth or not"

Villager-"Yes. Although I'm already annoyed with those visitors"

Villager 3-"Agreed, did they really need to build such a big house to stay here for a few days?"

The two villagers look into the forest and see a large three story house designed to look as fancy as possible with marble pillars at the front and a water fountain statue.

One and a half days ago.

Julius-"Now what should I make the house out of?"

Adam-"I mean wood right?"

Elise-"I think stone would be better"

Julius-"I'll make the outside stone and the inside wood. Evolved skill: omni particle control"

The ground begins glowing blue as the particles are pulled from the ground and rearranged into new atoms and molecules. 

Julius-"Okay first I'll make some solid concrete"

Julius makes a box of grey concrete that is 30 feet wide, fifty feet long, and 10 feet tall. The building is still glowing blue due to Julius's spell still being in effect.

Joe-"I don't know. The building looks, sad"

Julius-"It's just concrete"

Elise-"Joe is right, it looks... sad"

Julius-"Probably because it's bland for now, here."

Julius changed the flat concrete walls into bricks and added open spots for the doors and windows.

Damion-"It looks like my jail cell"

Marigold-"Yeah, wait what?"

Julius-"Okay um, scratch the concrete"

Adam-"You aren't damaging the nature right?"

Elise-"He can rebuild the plants afterwards"

Marigold-"Damion was in prison for something? What did you do?"

Damion-"...being born I guess"

Marigold-"What?"

Adam-"It's complicated"

Joe-"Can you try changing the color, grey just isn't a good color"

Elise-"He's right I think red would be better"

Julius-"Can you guys let me focus? Rebuilding matter on the subatomic level isn't simple"

Voice-"Building them a house for free and they are this ungrateful"

Julius-"You know what, I'm just gonna make this as fancy as possible"

Julius changed the concrete to marble and increases the size of the house to 40 feet wide, 60 feet wide, and 36 feet tall. He then adds a sloped roof increasing the box to 40 feet tall. Julius creates a wavy pattern on the outside marble while adding dozens of multicolored glass windows across the four sides of the house.

Joe-"That's-"

Julius then adds in the dark oak double front doors with a large 10 foot by 10 foot marble front porch with four large marble pillars in front. He then adds a small water fountain in the center of the porch. 

Elise-"You didn't need to-"

Julius then flies inside the building to begin the interior decorating. 

Julius-"Okay I need some nice dark brown polished wood floors and walls"

The granite floors and walls have a layer of wood planks placed on top of them.

Julius-"I need to make some stairs to the second on third stories"

Julius creates a set of winding stairs the go up through the second floor ending at the third floor. 

Julius-"Now for the rooms"

Julius creates multiple wooden walls that separate the house into rooms. He creates five bedrooms with two on the third floor, three on the second floor, and two on the bottom floor. One of the bedrooms on the bottom floor is smaller for Marigold. Each bedroom has a king sized bed apart from Marigold whose bed is proportionally king sized for her. Each bed also has an adjustable angle setting and heating installed. Julius also makes a tiny room in the roof of the house for himself. The house is given AC/heating system and lights throughout all three floors. He also creates two bathrooms on each floor with a full shower, sink, and toilet complete with a full sewage system. He also creates a kitchen on the first floor and a dining room for both the second and third floors. Julius flies back out to see the rest of the group.

Julius-"Done"

Everyone is stunned.

Julius-"Everyone has their own room and bathroom"

Joe-"Thank you"

Marigold-"It's much nicer than my house"

Elise-"It's way better than a house that Adam could build"

Adam-"I'm definitely sleeping on a different floor than you"

Damion-"Did you make yourself a room?"

Julius-"I have a small room in the roof that I can stay in"

Adam-"Are you alright?"

Julius-"Yes I'm fine"

Elise-"Listen if us arguing is upsetting to you, we can dial it down"

Adam-"Yeah"

Julius-"Thank you but it's fine. I just need to go to bed. I'm going to try sleeping for the first time"

Julius floats inside the house and travels up to his room.

Marigold-"Do you guys think Julius is okay?"

Adam-"I think he just needs some time alone"

Joe-"He hasn't slept since I've known him so maybe he'll feel better in the morning"

Damion-"I hope so"

Marigold-"Well... goodnight everyone"

The group selects some rooms in the house for them to sleep in. Julius phases into his room since there is no door. It's a tiny space less than 1 micrometer in diameter. The furniture made of molecules to resemble a normal room.

Voice-"You want to try sleeping"

Julius-"Yes"

Voice-"Is this still about Lucious"

Julius-"A little, honestly it's just been dawning on me recently. At the start this felt like a fun fantasy dream but it really is just another world. There are tons of bad people here just like my old world. I mean I died, like actually died to come here. There must have been people back in my world who were sad about that and probably still are. I'm just going to go to sleep to try to not focus on it for a bit"

Voice-"Very well, since you're in an enclosed space you shouldn't need to worry about floating off somewhere. But if anything happens I'll wake you up"

Julius-"I understand"

The group goes to sleep for the night to rest after their eventful day.

End of chapter 69.
