?[Species: Kitsune]

[Name: Tama]

[Tier/Level: 5/1]

[The Kitsune are characterized by the number of tails one possesses with 9 being the utmost. A new tail is only gained after sufficient growth in either power or age. Usually 100 years for every tail is the general rule. After having gained their ninth tail the Kitsunes fur will turn white or golden color and ascend the heavens. Kitsune are known for their illusions powerful enough to be indistinguishable from reality and their ability to transform into humanoids. Other notable abilities are their ability to take on a ghost like form, possession of others, invisibility, and their control over lightning and fire]

[Species: Kitsune]

[Name: Hoshi]

[Tier/Level: 5/1]

[Species: Kitsune] x4

...

After looking through the status of all the Kitsunes Darwin approached them.

"My lord this one is named Tama"

"And I am Hoshi"

"we are the leaders of this small tribe, we hope that you can accept us as subordinates" Tama says.

"Yes" Darwin says immediately

"Thank you my lord we shall serve you loyally!" Hoshi and Tama both exclaim

"I want you to…" Before Darwin could finish his stomach grumbles.

"F**k, I forgot to take the bear corpse for food!" Darwin exclaims.

Looking back to the Kitsunes Darwin thinks then orders them to take Ali and go back to where she killed the bear and bring the corpse back if it was still there.

"Yes my lord" They both answer and after leading them and the other Kitsunes to where Ali was resting they set off.

…

Ali led them back to where she had killed the bear but by the time they got there the bear was already taken by someone or something else.

"Should we head back to the lord?" Tama asks Hoshi

"I think we should take a bit of a detour to find some prey Lord might be disappointed if we come back with nothing" Hoshi responds

"Yes that seems reasonable," says Tama

After searching around for a bit Hoshi, Tama, Ali, and the 4 other Kitsunes are able to track down a deer. Tama casts an illusion on the deer, making it seem as though none of them were there. The deer could not see, hear, smell, nor feel its encroaching demise.

With one swift claw to the neck Ali slits the deer's throat ending its life.

...

Back in the territory while waiting for his subordinates to come back with food Darwin busies himself with setting up a fire pit and fire.

To set up the fire pit all Darwin needed was a place some stone and wood. The actual fire could be made by one of the Kitsunes when they get back with food.

After taking one unit of stone and two units of wood out of his warehouse Darwin drew a large circle in the middle of his territory then lined it with stone.

Darwin intends for the amount of subordinates to increase with time which means more mouths to feed so he makes the pit large enough to cook 2 whole carcasses at the same time.

To hold the carcasses Darwin takes two of the large sticks and sticks them right next to the pit, angled so they cross each other. Then he does the same for the other side before putting a stick large enough to cross the gap on the sticks.

By the time he had put the finishing touches on the second carcass holder his subordinates had returned.

They bring to me a deer corpse then kneel.

"My lord, regretfully we were unable to find the bear corpse." Tama says apologetically before continuing, "However we were able to track this deer." She says gesturing to the deer at my feet.

"Good while you were unable to bring back the bear corpse you still brought food," I say to the Kitsune before continuing to ask, "I am not knowledgeable in the preparation of a fresh kill do you or any of your subordinates know how to skin the deer so that we can cook it?"

"Yes, this one knows how to prepare and cook game, I'll start preparations immediately" Tama replied.

"Thank you Tama, come find me when you are done." Darwin replied.

Tama immediately started to prepare the deer. Starting with draining the blood. After a couple of minutes of draining she then preceded to use her claws to skin the deer being careful not to damage any of the meat.

After she was done skinning the deer Tama then went to light the wood in the pit. Using her control over fire she created a spark which she flicked to the pile of wood resulting in an explosion of flame which quickly settled down into a bonfire.

Piercing the deer with the stick hanging over the fire she then put the deer over the fire.

After about an hour of cooking the deer was done. Tama then ordered one of the Kitsune laying around to go and find their lord.

...

After leaving Tama to cook the deer Darwin went over to the house and upgraded it with his remaining materials.

[Tier/Level 9/9 ]

[can be upgraded(10 units of wood, 10 units of stone, one bronze aether core)]

After upgrading to the max level of the tier the house no longer looked shabby. It looked like a proper wood cabin on the outside.

On the inside however was the true transformation. Instead of the one room it started out as the cabin had expanded by twice its size despite looking the same outside. In the first room was a fully functional kitchenette with a small stovetop and a little fridge with a freezer attached. Above it was a little cabinet with plates and utensils. Near the kitchenette was a table with two chairs. The next room was a bathroom and shower connected to seemingly nowhere. The last room was a surprisingly cosy bedroom with a twin sized bed and nightstand.

Just as Darwin was going to sit down, one of the Kitsunes had found him

"My lord, Tama instructed me to inform you that your meal has been prepared."

"Tell Tama that I will be out in a moment," I reply

"Yes, my lord," With that the Kitsune left.

After seeing that the Kitsune was gone Darwin opens his status.

…

[Name: Darwin]

[Territory tier/level: 9/9]

[Skills: None]

[Talent: Evolution*]

[Evolution: a tier 1 talent allowing the holder of this talent to simulate evolution in a smaller time frame.]

[Warehouse: 50 units of wood]

'Seems like I used up all of my resources except 50 units of wood, let's see it was 45 units of wood and stone for the house then another unit of stone and two of wood for the pit then another 10 of wood and stone for the altar plus the core," After doing the mental math to confirm everything was right Darwin set out to eat.

…

"Here my lord, I gave you extra" Tama says handing Darwin a dish of what looks like a half a pound of cooked meat.

"Extra?" Darwin questions

"Yes, a growing boy should eat more especially one just entering his teenage years" Tama replies.

"I guess, thank you for your consideration Tama" I thank her then sit down to devour the food in front of me.

…

After eating the kitsunes all transformed back into their fox forms then found some trees to curl up near while they slept.

Darwin went to sleep in the bed of his house.
