Archer arrived at the spot he woke up at, looking around he spotted the river washing into the ocean, he looked between the two.
'I'm lucky I got washed up.'
He decided to follow the river north, hours passed as he still followed the river but the jungle was getting thicker the further he walked.
As Archer trekked through the dense jungle, he couldn't help but be spellbound by the beauty surrounding him.
The sun was shining through the canopy, casting dappled patterns of light on the vibrant foliage.
The leaves of the trees were a rich assortment of greens, purples, and reds as if painted by a master artist.
Sounds of the jungle were alive with the chirping of birds, the buzzing of insects, and the occasional roar of a wild animal in the distance.
But the jungle was also a perilous place.
The ground was slick with moisture, making every step treacherous.
Vines snaked across the path like tripwires, and the trees were draped with hanging roots that obscured the way forward.
As he pushed deeper into the jungle, he found himself surrounded by a cacophony of sounds and smells that threatened to overwhelm his senses.
The beauty surrounding him was deadly, as he soon realized.
Poisonous plants with lush foliage hung overhead, and vines with thorns lurked around every corner.
The sounds of snapping twigs and rustling leaves signaled the presence of unknown predators.
Archer had been trekking through the jungle for hours, unaware of the danger that lurked in the shadows.
He had been so focused on the beauty of his surroundings that he hadn't given a second thought to the possibility of encountering a man-eating beast.
But as he pushed through the dense foliage, he heard a rustling sound to his left.
In the next moment, a massive beast pounced on him from the bushes.
Archer barely had time to react before the beast was upon him, its sharp teeth bared and ready to tear him to shreds.
With all his might, Archer struggled against the beast, his heart pounding as he quickly cast Cosmic Sword.
Stabbing the beast in the head, it fell to the ground dead leaving his heart racing, Archer turned his head towards the beast.
It was a bear in all but color, it was a dark greenish color.
''Suitable for a jungle.''
Getting back on his feet he cut out the beast's heart, storing it away, that's when he remembered he can create two new spells thanks to the jump in ranks.
Looking around he climbed up the closest tree and sat on a branch.
Pulling out and eating the hearts he has collected so far after he was done he checked his status.
[Experience: 3000/9000]
Archer got 2400 experience from the hearts, and 500 from the jungle bear.
He spent 10 points on HP, mana, strength, constitution, and stamina, and put 6 on charisma and 5 on intelligence.
[Constitution: 700>800]
[Intelligence: 620>670]
Feeling refreshed he pulled out some pastries and started eating as he admired the view from his perch.
As he was eating he heard growls and roars below him, he looked down and saw raptor-looking things fighting another dinosaur.
Pulling out some chocolate he started to eat as he watched the mid-afternoon entertainment.
As the fight was going on he remembered why he was up here and started to think about spells to create.
'I want a spell that creates a space for myself.'
All of a sudden he got an idea about something called a Domain, so he started to imagine his own dimensional space that he can upgrade with his mana.
[Spell Creation activated]
Nothing happened, it didn't bother him though as he was watching the dinosaur wrestling match, he pulled out a bottle of dragon tears and started drinking.
[Dragon's Domain created]
[Dragon's Domain: A space where a dragon can horde his treasure and pamper his women, can be molded into whatever the user needs, and can be upgraded by using the user's mana]
He got happy as he managed to create such a skill, he didn't want to create any more spells at the moment.
Happy that he has got a spot he can hide his stuff instead of keeping track of it in his Item Box.
Archer finished his drink and threw the bottle at the victorious dinosaur, hitting it on the head as it looked around baffled.
He giggled when he saw its reaction, he jumped out of the tree while casting a cosmic sword before impaling the beast.
It looked like a duck dinosaur from Earth, but had sharp teeth and could fight which confused Archer even more.
Taking his knife out he looted all three dinosaur hearts and stores them alongside the bodies.
A white portal appeared in front of him, he shrugged as he stepped through and saw grassland the size of a football pitch.
Looking around it was empty as far as the eyes could see but a smile came to his face as he started imagining the grasslands growing bigger, and a small forest popped up all around.
Large trees stretched into the sky, but something wasn't right to him.
Picturing a massive tree in the middle of the forest with paths leading to it, Archer made his way down this peaceful-looking path that snaked its way through the forest.
Until it stopped at a massive tree, he checked his mana before doing anything else.
Looking up at the big tree he started picturing a cottage built into the tree with a balcony at the front, while inside there were bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a large room to store all his loot.
More shaking was felt as the tree molded itself into Archer's perfect chill spot, though he will still sleep outside of the domain.
Nothing helps him relax more than a good old tree branch to sleep on, shaking his head he checked out his new creation.
Nestled at the center of the massive tree, stands a large fantasy cottage, built into the trunk itself.
Its walls are made of smooth, polished wood that has been worked to fit the shape of the tree as if the tree itself grew around the cottage.
The roof is made of wooden shingles that are covered in thick moss, blending seamlessly into the surrounding foliage.
Gleaming windows dot the exterior of the cottage, each framed by intricately carved wooden shutters that can be swung open to let in natural light and fresh air.
A sturdy wooden bridge leads up to the balcony which had a bench looking outwards, the front door is covered in intricate carvings of woodland creatures and leafy vines.
He could see a small balcony that overlooks the surrounding forest, offering breathtaking views of the canopy below.
Birds flitted and chirped around the cottage, and the rustling of leaves in the breeze provides a soothing soundtrack to the idyllic tranquility of the forest.
Archer started walking up the wooden bridge to reach the front door, opening the door he walked in.
As he stepped through the door of the plain but welcoming cottage, he was greeted with a cozy but spacious living area.
The walls are painted with light, warm colors, creating a sense of comfort and serenity.
Large windows allow the soft natural light to stream in, illuminating every corner of the room.
A comfortable sofa rests in front of the crackling fireplace, perfect for curling up with a book or spending time with Ella.
Nearby, a modest wooden dining table sat in the middle of the room, flanked by comfortable chairs upholstered in soft fabric.
The kitchen is simple but functional, with plenty of counter space for preparing meals.
A narrow staircase in the corner of the living area leads down to the basement, where Archer finds a large storage room.
The basement is dry and well-lit, with sturdy shelving lining the walls to store all sorts of items.
Whether it's extra food or chests for gold, the storage room is spacious enough to accommodate all of his storage needs.
He walked through the treehouse and admired his handy work, looking around as he dropped onto the comfy sofa and relaxed for a little while.
While he was sitting there he pictured the domain to be more wild, with small beasts running and flying around with a small river running through the domain.
Checking his mana after everything was done.
Archer took out a mana potion and quickly drank it.
He stood up and walked over to the balcony doors and opened them as he walked through and leaned against the railing and looked out over the domain.
It was a small forest, trees stretched as far as the eyes could see, he saw some birds flying here and there.
Before he left he unloaded all the random loot he got into his storage room before leaving the domain.
Stepping out where he killed the three dinosaurs, he carried on with his walk while thinking.
''I'm happy with Dragon's Domain, every dragon needs a space to hide his treasures.''
