Chapter 9 Quick To Call Home



"Because I am trying to keep it together. The world that we knew is gone and never coming back. My only concern is finding the people I care about and bringing them to safety; then, I will get stronger. These things that look like people, like the one that attacked me, are called the Villains, and if I kill them all, they will leave this world," I said as I felt us get closer to the top of the tree.

I was mentally freaking out, but whatever the Evergrowth System was, it wouldn\'t let me show any of my fears or doubts. Ever when I was getting my face pummeled, I was calm, if a bit distracted by the constant punches.

"I am happy that you saved me even more than ever. I am terrified, but being in your arms makes me feel safe like nothing could hurt me. Please don\'t leave me," Amy said as we were lifted to the top of the tree where my house was being constructed.

"Don\'t worry. I don\'t plan on dying or losing. If this Orphus wants entertainment, then that is what I am going to give him," I said with a grin as the trunk opened up to reveal a wooden palace.

"Wah?! How is this even possible?!" Amy asked as we stepped out, and I walked forward.

I had a rough image in my head of a grand staircase that led up to halls leading in both directions, and that was what I got. There would be many large bedrooms, and I could feel other rooms being made all throughout the tree as well below me.

I put Amy down, and she turned to look up at me.

"Thank you!" Amy said and leaned up, closing her eyes.

I bent down and met her lips, wrapping my arms around Amy as we kissed. Her lips were soft, and I enjoyed the press of her chest pressed into me.

"Can I go look around?" Amy asked with a cute smile, and I nodded but put a hand up.

It was starting to get into the morning, and I wanted to go check on the book store. Darius and his daughter might not be at their shop, but that was on the way to their house.

"Sure, and there is food in the fridge. I need to go out for a bit, but I will be coming back with people, so expect guests," I said, and Amy gave me a lifted eyebrow look.

"Who are you going to get?" Amy asked curiously, and I grinned.

"Just some of my friends and girls I am seeing. I can\'t very well leave them to freeze to death, right?" I explained while grinning.

"Just how many girls will you be bringing home?!" Amy asked in shock as she started to blush.

"Aren\'t you quick to call this home! There are three that I am seeing, and I am going to stop by the hospital to see if there is anything that I can do," I said with a chuckle, but Amy\'s eyes went big at the mention of the hospital, and I asked, "What?"

"Nothing. I just didn\'t think that you were going to try helping people," Amy said, looking away from me.

"According to the trees, I don\'t have a lot of energy right now, and most of it had been to make this tree," I said, and Amy\'s head snapped back up with a shocked look.

"You used all your power to make yourself a mansion?!" Amy asked in alarm, but I shook my head.

"This is a very small part at the top of a hundred-foot tall tree. There are enough rooms to fit up to forty thousand people. It\'s not enough, but it is a start. I could have got the tree to make it bigger, but I still don\'t know a lot about what this thing in me is. I kept a quarter of the power I can use to help people when I am out, or at least try to," I said, and Amy rushed over to wrap me in another hug.

"I am so sorry that I judged you! I thought that you were just going to leave everyone to their fates!" Amy said with her face buried into my chest, and I sighed.

"Look, you and the other girls are my number one priority until I can figure out how to help everyone. I am just trying to sort out my thoughts right now on what things I should be taking care of first," I explained as I bent down to kiss Amy\'s blonde hair.

"Is there anything I can do?" Amy asked as she broke away from me, and I shrugged.

"Tree, can you help Amy with getting the rooms ready?" I asked out loud, and I got a mental nod from the tree, and I nodded at Amy, saying, "There, you can start setting up the rooms, but I will have to try and find more mattresses. I don\'t want to sleep on twigs and leaves; no offense, Mr. Tree.

"Can it really understand you?" Amy asked, and I nodded.

"Yeah, strange as it sounds. It is like a mental connection, but I talked to it aloud for your benefit. The tree will listen, so you can keep yourself busy while I am gone. I will see what I can do about food as well cause the stuff in the fridge will go fast with lots of people. I am also going to have to figure out how to feed people; ugh, so much to do," I groaned, and Amy patted my shoulder.

"Don\'t worry about it too much and just do what you can. You are only one person," Amy said with a smile that I could see she was forcing, and I brightened up.

"You\'re right, and I will do my best, so keep that smile on your face. We will make it through all this," I said, and Amy nodded as she turned and ran up the massive wooden grand staircase.

I turned, and a hole opened up in the wall as I looked over the smoking city.

"Let\'s talk, boss," I said in a quiet voice.
