Is this really a Game?!

"I will give you permission to create a portal if you wish, that way, it will be much easier for you guys to move to and fro the jungle and your base," Gabriel said as Reign and the others nodded their heads.

"We can't remove the portal that we made in Mia's old base, we were only using it to go to the jungle before, but now there are more players from the territory who are using it, so we will just make another one, it isn't cheap, but we have more than enough funds to do so," Reign told Gabriel who smiled, even though nobody could see it since they were talking to him via the communication crystal.

"With the portal present, we won't need to spend time in groups, we can all stay in the jungle, if there is enough space, of course," Beast said as Gabriel started thinking.

"There are nine of you if you are willing to stay in smaller rooms, I don't see why that will be an issue, after all, you will only be spending the night here, there is no need to create a large house as you can easily go back to your base at any time."

Reign and the others agreed to Gabriel's plan, knowing that having a presence in the jungle would be crucial for their mission. They quickly made preparations to travel to the jungle, gathering supplies to quickly make a house there.

They arrived at Mia's base before glancing around them and walking to the jungle, eager to make a house there and place a new portal. They had already put a new portal in Doncaster, but this one was placed in their building as it would only be accessible by them, as well as a couple of more people in case they needed to go to the jungle.

After all, the depths of the jungle were truly dangerous, not to mention that the portal was in the clearing, and for now, only Reign and the others were allied with Gabriel, it wouldn't be polite to allow everyone to go there.

The Behemoth had already been waiting for them in the jungle, and it only took them a short while to get to Gabriel in the clearing.

The clearing was large enough to fit not one, but two houses that had large gardens if there was a need for it, so making a smaller one that would be used by them only for sleeping was relatively easy.

The supplies they had brought were all taken out before Gabriel suddenly acted, using the right given to him by the system to create a house with those materials in an instant.

The house looked more like a log cabin, one that had two floors. There was a small living room on the ground floor that they could use to just relax and wait around, a bathroom, a separate toilet, and even a small kitchen.

Of course, there were also 9 small rooms present.

Out of the 9 rooms, 2 were on the ground floor and 7 were on the second floor.

"There was no need to make it like this, you know?" Reign asked Gabriel who was smiling at them.

"I mean, it looks really nice and we are thankful, but like we said, we will mostly use this just to sleep here, and to keep an eye on the corruption, the bathroom and separate toilet are definitely a good addition, but there was no need for you to make a living room and kitchen."

"Again, not complaining, I just didn't expect you to use so much space in the clearing for us."

"Don't worry about it, I'm happy to do so, after all, you guys are doing your best to help me and the jungle, this much is to be expected."

"I have also already placed your names on the door of each room, I did try to make the rooms a bit different to better suit you guys, do tell me if I did well or not," Gabriel said as he gave them a smile filled with boyish charm.

Reign and the others nodded at Gabriel before going inside to inspect the house.

They only briefly looked at the living room and the kitchen as it was obviously fine, the bathroom was spacious and clean, as was the toilet, so they quickly moved on to checking out the rooms.

Wolf glanced at the two rooms on the ground floor and smiled slightly at Reign before going up with the others, leaving Reign and Mia alone as the two rooms on the ground floor were theirs.

'I hope you don't mind, I thought you two might want some privacy, so I gave you these two rooms, they also have a secret door placed between them, so you can easily go to and fro the two rooms.' Gabriel suddenly said telepathically to both Reign and Mia who both blushed slightly.

'I … I don't know why you would do such a thing.'

'I'm the spirit of the forest, the system has given me many powers, and great observation is something natural to me, so it is only given that I would notice how you two act when you think nobody is looking, not to mention the reaction you had when the young lady was hurt before you guys came to me.'

'It's alright, the rooms are also soundproof, I can't see the inside of any of the rooms, I have made sure of that, but you can also try installing arrays if that will make you feel better, I wouldn't want you to think that I am trying to betray your trust in such a way or anything of the sort.'

Reign sighed as he glanced back at Gabriel, who was outside of the house, and nodded at him.

'Thanks.'

They all soon finished checking out their rooms, and just like Gabriel had said, they were all different, made by him to suit them individually, at least in the way he believed they would suit them the best.

Reign and Mia's rooms did truly have a secret door, one that even they wouldn't be able to find had it not been for Gabriel who told them about it beforehand, and how to use it.

With that done, they placed a portal in the clearing and then went to sit inside the cabin, getting used to it.

It was still daytime, but the evening would soon arrive, and right now, they were getting ready to hunt for a bit before resting.

Since the portal was placed right in their building, they could easily use it afterward to go back to the building and shower and change clothes before coming back here.

They went into the forest and hunted, just as they always did, only that this time they spent a short period of time doing so, only about 2 hours.

They returned, which was when Reign suddenly stopped in front of Gabriel.

"Hey, I was wondering, since you are capable of knowing everything that happens in the forest, do you know what the Enclave, the people living in the base below the ground in the forest have been doing?"

"Of course I do, I haven't been keeping a watchful eye or anything of the sort, but I do see some things, like them going in the jungle to hunt, eliminating some corrupted areas they come across, and similar things."

"So, based on what you have seen ever since they have arrived in the jungle and made a base, what would you say about them, are they trustworthy?"

"I'm afraid I am only capable of knowing what happens in the jungle, outside of that base of theirs, so answering that question is quite difficult."

"I see, well, I just wanted to try, you know?"

"I know, but I will tell you this," Gabriel said with a smile.

"There is something weird about them, about some of their members, I truly don't know what it is or why I feel like that, but some of them just give me a different feeling compared to the rest."

"For now, I would recommend you guys do the same as before, be friendly with them, but with boundaries."

"Got it, thanks … Gabriel." Reign said with a nod of his head before they went through the portal, all of them going to their building to take a shower before returning later to spend the night in the log cabin.

At night, when they had all entered their rooms, Mia got out of her bed before opening the secret door and coming into Reign's room.

He was still awake, waiting for her.

She quietly went to his bed before lying down on it, next to him.

"We still haven't talked about what happened back then."

"Back when?"

"You know full well what I'm talking about when I got attacked when I got injured, and the way you responded."

"I understand why you did so, and I do feel happy that you would feel such anger merely by seeing me wounded, but I don't want you to lose your cool so easily, it can be dangerous, y'know?"
