    Chapter 9: The Mana Pool
    This chapter has yet to be edited.

    By the time that everyone got here, we had already finished transferring the carcasses into the wagons that I made using the surrounding's woods. All in all, there are 13 large wagons, capable of holding up to 25,000 pounds each. And 39 large earthen golems, three golems to each wagon. These wagons were very ordinary but they were far stronger than most popular wooden wagons out there that are made with better materials. This was due to the fact that these wagons were very strongly built using otherworldly technology. The way that the woods jointed each other was not something that this world has seen before. So, you can say that these wagons were large enough, spacey enough, and foundationally strong enough to bore the weight of more than 15000kg each. Easily, in fact.

    These earthen golems would only last for four hours each- since they don’t have any magic stone or magic shard and such inside them. However, their speeds and movement were very fluid and smooth. So, there was no problem with using the earthen golems. The only problem was that it doesn't last long. That was because I didn’t carve any magic runes on them either, so yep, they all temporary here for only four hours. No longer, no shorter. 4 Hours Limited.

    After they went back to the world, I could just resummon them again if I need to. It cost me little mana and nothing else since they are making out of the earth. This was only possible due to the fact that my Earth Elemental Magic Control was already perfectly mastered 100%. My control of the golems themselves was through my senses of magic. This was why it was possible for me to control the golem without even writing out a code for them.

    While I was checking the wagons to make sure that it’s structural strong enough to not collapse underneath all its weight, Sir Marcus was running toward me with a frenzied face.


    “Shirin-sama!” He shouted with a panic face as he ran toward me. His face was pale and sweats were gliding down his forehead. His slightly large belly was going sides to sides as he runs toward me. The image was slightly disturbing but it wasn't anything that I need to sneer over. Wait a second, Shirin-sama? Surely I heard it wrong.


    “Sir Marcus,” I answered calmly as I finished checking everything. Not caring at all that Sir Marcus's shouting has the women's attention to us. Not only that, it seems like his shouting has startled them. Some of the women dropped their wooden bowl of soup and spoon while other just froze completely like a deer caught in a headlight. Ahh, so inconsiderate.

    Not that I was any better...


    “W-was there really a mana pool inside this cave?” He asked, completely panicking and wishing that I was joking. Sorry dude, I’m not jesting when it comes to lives. Well, at least not in this world, yet.

    Noted the Yet, okay?

    Seeing is believing. “Come, I will show you,” I said as I lead Marcus and the other merchants inside the cave. Like before, nothing inside the cave changed, asides from the carcasses of the monsters inside, which was now outside.

    The smell of blood inside the cave wasn’t that strong but it was enough to cause the merchants to nearly throw up. They aren’t used to this much of blood, even when they are pretty used to bandits and monsters during their business trips. This much of blood wasn’t normal. Well, obviously. I did bleed out all the monsters carcasses so the amount of blood in this cave wasn’t normal. This was also so that it would hide the presences of me, the smell of blood I mean- it was meant to hide my presence. Of course, if that man was here, such a thing wouldn't do a damn thing to him.


    “Oh Holy Mother of God, what is this pool?!” Marcus yelled, completely surprised at the size of the pool.


    “A mana pool, of course,” I answered calmly, not bothering to hide my sarcastic.


    “A-a mana pool this big?!” Marcus was completely frightened. Same as everyone else. Sir Marcus looks like he's going to faint. The rest of the merchants weren't looking any better.


    Okay, now that they are here, the rest were their responsibility. I am not a nobleman nor a resident of this Kingdom, as such- I have no obligation towards the humans living in this territory.


    I left the merchants to their jobs as noble and I went back to the wagons. The women all settled down on the wagons. There were blankets and setting mats on the wagons for them. A large barrel of water was also on each wagon, so if they are thirsty, they can drink their fills. There are bread and lightly salted soup, too. So, they won't go hungry.


    “Shirin-sama, everything is secured into the wagons,” Mayfill told me once I got close enough to the wagons. Her eyes were still nervous and her posture was meek, but there was hope and relief that she's not in the cave anymore. There are signs of mental traumas from being in that cave but there's also a sigh of determination within her eyes. The innocence that was usually in the eyes of the normal citizens in this world was nowhere to be found in Mayfill's eyes.


    One wagon worth of carcasses/loot was for Mariel and Lindari's team while another wagon was for the women to start their new life with. If they sell the bodies/carcasses of those monsters, it should earn them at least 4 to 5 Large Silver coins. That should be enough to last for a couple of months- at least until they found new jobs and home.

    I don’t know if the women were going to stay in their old village or coming with us to the next village, but regardless so, Sir Marcus, as a nobleman, have the obligations to make sure that the women’s new lives can restarts okay, even as a slave or otherwise.

    As long as they are alive and have enough funds to restart their life, the nobleman’s obligation and responsibilities are filled. After all, this was the law and rule of this world- or just this Kingdom in general. As a world that had long ago accepted lives as slaves, their obligations and responsibilities as nobles are only so. Had the Noble from Earth's 36th Century seen the noble of this world acts, they would totally shake their heads at them and called them "No-Good", after all, the Noble from my world's 36th Century was truly a Noble. A true aristocratic in every term of the definition. Things like righteous, virtuous, honorable, distinguished, upright, conventional, ethical, moral, humane, reputable, and unselfishness was the main core foundation of all the Noble on Earth.

    I don't know about the past but ever since the 27th Century, society has demanded back the aristocracy system of a political class from the feudalistic stage back in the 17th-18th Centuries. Only, during my times, all of the darker sides of the Aristocracy systems have been perfected and in control by the Galactic Federal Governor, already. So, such things as corruption were very minimum. And if a Noble was suspected of being corrupted, the Galactic Federal Government will investigate the case- Publicly.

    This was why- even if there's corruption going on in our society, it was very little. Well, at least, for the 36th Century of Earth- that was. I don't know about before the Galactic Federal Government was established nor do I care. That's why I wasn't surprised that this world's Nobles only has such an obligation.

    But then again, this world has better- or not- things that they need to worry about. This world wasn't Earth, so comparing it wasn't fair in the beginning.

    If the native lives of this world itself don’t care for their own lives, why in the world should I care for them? I have no reason to care or take responsibility for them, much less wanted to.


    Those that will get my obligations to look after are those that have connections with me, like the orphans that I had hired and Novelle and her mother and sister. Other than that, there’s no one else that would get my protections. Even if the world got ran over by monsters tomorrow, excepted for the people who have my protection, other people could all die for all I care.


    What? I’m not a god and I am not a good person. No matter how much you said otherwise, I know myself well enough to know that I am not one. Lying would make me a hypocrite and such a thing was useless against me. When I said I don’t care, it means I don’t care. When I said that they are my responsibility, they are my responsibility to a certain point. When I said that I could care less if this world was destroyed, I really mean it.

    When the merchants came out of the cave, their expressions were ominous and depressed. As a merchant and a nobleman, Sir Marcus knew exactly what this would mean.

    The villages and towns within a certain distance of here will all have to migrants away.

    This cost time, efforts, lives, and emotional trauma. Fortunately, the area that Sir Marcus’s family governed over was not within that affected distance from this cave. Since this cave located about 15 days of traveling away from Karnosh City, farther to the East, the distance between here to the small town that Sir Marcus was governing over was about 25 days away. Which was a safe distance away from here, so there's no danger to that area.


    Thinking of the distance, I wish that I could make some traveling vehicles or flying mount. The wagon pulling methods was good and all, but they are very slow comparing to cars and flying mounts. Since this world was so huge, it would make sense that there are things like flying mount and vehicles but due to the limited amount of resources that are available, such things weren't possible. I could have done it whenever I like to, but nope- not now. Such things will have to wait for when I am very bored.


    “What should we do?” The merchants were all seating around the campfire, eating their lunch, as they brainstorm on what to do. The weather was sunny with a couple cloud on the sky but the atmosphere surrounding the group was gloomy and tense like it was raining season and fogs were coming in thick. Only, in the raining season, there aren't this gloom and anxiety in the air.


    Everyone was presented, listening and helping them brainstorm whenever they could. I am too, as I eat the food that I had cooked.


    What? I ate a lot. Shyness? What's that? Is that something that I can eat? Sorry, such emotion had long gone away after my first world.

    Why aren't I eating the same food as the other?

    There’s no way that I will eat the foods that other cooked. Not only does it not suit my taste because I am a very picky eater, but it was also not enough either. Not only was the quality of the food not enough, but even the quantity also doesn't even reach the required amount. There's no way that it was enough for me too.

    As someone from Earth 36 Centuries, you can say that my taste in food was very spoils. Not only that, I have an extreme tongue that can taste things to the extreme so I am a very picky eater. This was why I will also cook my own food, as I am a perfectionist when it comes to my own cooking. In my family back on Earth, I was the main cook and the amount that I cooked each time was enough to feed a family of 20 each time. That's how much I eat. Not only that, but because I don't get fat no matter how much I eat, my stomach seems to be pitless. Causing my brothers and friends to refer me as "Empty Shin," privately.


    Mariel was looking at the large plate of food in my hand with shock. Her eyes twitching and her mouth shivering, looking like she's between shocked, surprised, and wanted to laughed. A very odd look.

    Lindari, who cooked the food for everyone, alongside the chef from the Therius Merchant group, was both shocked and disappointed that I didn’t eat their food. No, they shouldn’t be disappointed, you know? There are 15 other kids, 20 other women here that needed more food than me.


    One of the merchants, the treasurer of the group, Nathan Til Therius, one of Marcus’s cousin, replied, “What else can we do? We have the obligation to help out as best as we can. We also will have to send words to His Excellency the Emperor, alongside letters to the Duke of Marshen and his Lordship Flavius. Since this area is governed by his Lordship Flavius, he will have to send people over to help the people in this region emigrants. The only problem is that this will take a lot of time and efforts. People will need new houses, jobs, and lands to farm.” Nathan looked utterly worried.


    As a low noble house, if ordered by Lord Flavius, then they will have to help the villages in this region move, this will cost a lot of time and effort.


    “Where would the villagers in this region go to, though? His Lordship governed over this region and two other regions. But, the other two regions aren’t places that people will want to live in, much less can live in,” James Til Therius, the person who takes care of the group’s restocking, Marcus’s cousin and Nathan’s younger brother, said with a depressed face.


    “His Lordship Flavius’s other two region is farther up north right? Isn’t that a snow region?” I asked, wanted to confirm my knowledge.


    Marcus nodded as he sighed in depression. If the villagers move to the northern region, it will make it harder for merchants like him to go there since that region was very cold. This will also cause hardship for the villagers too.


    “Going or not going, the future doesn’t look very good for the villagers.” Marcus was very worried. He wanted to ask all the villagers to move to larger towns but he can’t do that since moving a whole village to certain towns will only cause more problem. Food, shelters, jobs and safety was a big concerned for villagers.


    “Hmmm... wasn’t the northern mountains a regions of Lord Flavius?” I asked, completely not worry at all.


    “The mountain? Ah, that region.” Marcus was enlightened.


    The mountain region that I am talking about was a part of the northern region, where it snows 24/7. It was part of the Ice Mountain Range, one of the other forbidden regions in this part of the continent. South of the Bermurnia Kingdom, a small independent Kingdom that the Kingdom of Bahamut left alone- because it wasn't worth controlling it, was where the Northern Forbidden Region- The Northern Mountain Range was at.

    The Kingdom of Bahamut was located to the west of the Arcior Continent. To the North was the Kingdom of Theodore and to the East, was the United Freedom States. The Northern Mountain Range was between the Kingdom of Bahamut and the Kingdom of Theodore, a little to the west longitude. The Forbidden Northern Mountain Range was apart of the Kingdom of Bahamut- since it was the only Kingdom that didn't reject the claims of the region from the World's Core. This was because out of the three kingdoms, the Kingdom of Bahamut was the only Kingdom that has the strength to claims it. Not only that, the other Kingdom were farther away from the Northern Forbidden Region- making them having no ideas over it. They can't have ideas over it.


    The mountain region that I am talking about was a bit south of the Ice Mountain Range- farther southern western of the Northern Forbidden Region. It has a large amount of Ice-Element Water, which forms into lakes that have a couple of very delicious fishes. Those lakes were made out of the fresh water but oddly enough, they were able to assemble salt-fishes like the tuna... A magic tuna but a tuna nonetheless.


    The Ice Salmon, Frosty Bass, Rainbow Tuna, Frost Mackerel, and Blue Seabeam. All of these fishes are a kind of magical variety Magical Beast. A docile kind that is edible and very fast at breeding. In this world. these Magical Water Beasts weren't as fast at breeding as the one that I had in my Space Dimension Homestead but they taste a little bit more fat and sweeter. They had this natural slightly salty taste, slightly sweet taste, and slightly smooth fatty taste. Making it a great ingredient for sushi. The problems were that the water was far too cold and the environment that they live in wasn't good for humans. The prerequired requirement for breeding these kinds of fishes was hard. In my Space Dimension Homestead, there was no location suitable for breeding them. However, in my Magic World Space, one of the three Internal Space that is Bound to my Soul, does have these extreme cold environments for breeding them. Only... I am very reluctant to go inside those worlds.

    The Internal Worlds such as the ones bounded to me, the Soul World Space, the Magic World Space, and the Spiritual World Space was not good. No sorry, I mean, it isn't good. The time inside those space was far too much in term of Reality (3 dimensional) ratio Dimensional (4 Dimensional Space) times. Inside those spaces, one day in real-world time, 3 dimensional, was 525,600 days inside. This ratio of 1:525,600 was too much. Just because I am at eternally 21 years old, physical wise, it doesn't mean that this time ratio won't affect me. Oh, it affected me, alright.

    Due to the environment that these fishes live in, it has caused the fishes from that region to be very huge and very docile. With the no natural predator hunting them those fishes has no idea of what it means to have survivalist instinct.

    This was why they taste was so very good.

    Since those fishes themselves had live in the Ice-Element water, they will not spoiled for a long time, causing these fishes to be so high in demand that only the Emperor will get to eat it due to the cost. Each fish cost at least 50 large gold coins, you know? Even high-class noblemen don’t have these option to eat them that much.

    Marcus looked confused for a couple of seconds before his eyes widen in disbelief at my idea. A daring glared flashed in his eyes as hope flare to life.


    “Making a new town that specializes in Ice-Element fishes?” Marcus caught on really quick.


    “That will not work,” Nathan said as he rejected my suggestion. I shrugged my shoulder. If he thinks that it won’t work then so be it. I won’t force it. Nathan knew well why it wouldn't work, too. And I have to say, I agreed. It won't work for those villagers. Especially since they aren't strong.

    Ah, the flare in Sir Marcus's eyes...


    After all, the only reason why I suggested it was because I want to buy some ice salmon, frosty bass, rainbow tuna, frost mackerel, and blue sea beam. Since I was craving fishes and sushi, I was wondering where I can go get some. Well, I have some in my Internal World Space and my Space Dimension Homestead. But- I want some new taste. Those fishes in my Internal World Space and my Space Dimension Homestead were all High-End Grade kind of fishes and their taste was already guaranteed to be tasty. But, I wanted to try a new taste.

    New world, new taste, a new discovery. Understand?

    It just happened that the Commerce Guild Master in Karnosh City was also requesting some fish for the First Prince, the Heir to this Kingdom, whose birthday was coming up in a couple of months.


    Of course, the reason why it won’t work was that the temperature there was very low enough to freeze even boiling water within seconds. So, it is understandable as to why it is impossible.


    Since the Commerce Guild Master, Vinolle von Chester, request this and was willing to pay up to 100 small gold coin per one ice salmon, 120 small gold coin per frosty bass, 130 small gold coin per rainbow tuna, 135 small gold coin for each frost mackerel and blue seabeam, I was willing to procure it for him if I had the time. This was already 3 times the price of the market’s price.


    This request was for Rank C Adventurer and above only, so I can accept it if I want to but for now, I plan to finished the requests that I had already accepted.

    It was quiet a good business selling Ice Elements Fishes. I might go into this business... Or have the orphan do it in my stand, while I provides them the fishes... Okay, let’s do that since I am far too lazy. Fishy~ Sushi~ What should I made?~ Wait, I’m getting far too ahead!


    Since the Northern mountain where the lakes located at were a bit far from Karnosh City, I was thinking of going there after I finished my five quests here, but for sure, I will have to go there sooner since I really am craving some sushi. I want some tuna(the normal kind) too but since tuna is a sea-fish, I will have to go to the sea to catch some. And the nearest seaports was to the far East of here, about 30 days of traveling away. Or about 45 days away from Karnosh City.


    Normal fish was good and all, but the main reason why I wanted those magic fishes was because I want to farmed/breed them.


    I want them inside my Internal World Space and if possible, near my house.


    Well, not my house exactly since they suppose are to be used as a catalyst for my water-garden, the hydroponic gardens. Besides, they are very good as a food source too. So, placing them inside my Internal World Space to breed them was not only a very great way to farm them, but it was also a great idea for me to hide them.


    Yes, I want to breed the fish for cooking purposes. Mainly because my stomach demands it.


    “If that doesn’t work, where would the villagers go to? Our town? There aren’t that much free space that can be used for farming left,” Marcus sighed in depression as he worried for the villagers.


    “If there’s no free space, then we can only make more space,” James replied back with a determination glints in his eyes.


    “Sigh, James, even if you say that, the most that we can do was accepting another ten families at most.” Both Marcus and Nathan answered at the same time. Causing James to quiet down.


    He knew that but he doesn’t want to accept it. As a nobleman and a merchant, he really should be thinking about the pros and cons of having ten new family within his family’s land, but the thing was, the Therius was always a low rank nobles house that originate from a small village. Their history was what caused them to wanted to go to small villages for transactions like this in the first place. This was mainly to help out the smaller villages.


    “Sir Marcus, your town is Cremon Town, right? What is the size of your town? What do you need to do to increase it?” I asked. This man is a good man. This merchant group was a good group. They have the moral and the sympathy to help other even when knowing that it doesn’t give them any advantages.


    “Yes, Cremon Town belong to my family. As for the size, we have about 10,000 to 20,000 household total, give or take a couple hundred. To increase the size of Cremon, it is necessary to border out the wall, and to border out the wall, a lot of time and efforts is needed asides from the materials and cost of labors. To increase the wall’s defense, it has already cause a lot of burdens to the civilian there due to the high tax.” Marcus explains clearly to me with all the facts and the opinions. This isn’t a secret so he have no need to hide it.


    Uris and the rest of his team listen quietly to our talks, not interrupting us but also wasn’t inputting any forward too.


    Since Marcus had already send one of his bodyguard to inform Lord Flavius, for now, he’d decided that we can continue going on to the next villages. All the women and the kids that we found are also coming with us, too, in another two wagons that I had created. At first, the women all feared the earth golem that I summoned, but after a couple minutes of noticing that they aren’t alive and have no will of their own, the women all relaxed.


    And as we had expected, the other two villages was in a similar situation to the previous one. Except that their situation wasn’t as bad as Novelle’s village. A lot of elderly people had died already but the children, teenagers, and adults were still alive. Even if they are so miserably in pain due to their fights against the monsters and beasts that keep on coming toward their villages.


    After Marcus explains everything to them of what we found in the cave, everyone who heard it pale so badly that they collapse onto the floor. I tried not to pay attention during this as I scan the surrounding of the village to see if there’s other monsters that we missed.


    There was. A large group of horde that’s about 13 miles away from the village, making their way here.


    Base on the life reading of that horde, most of it are dire animal? I can just use the skill ‘Map’ to make sure that everything are corrected but I got used to using my own skills without using Bel-chan. But, to make sure that I am not mistaking, I pull out the Map Skill and check the red dots on it. And yes, they all are Dire beasts and monsters. Ranging from Level 50 to level 80 Dire beasts and monsters.


    I inspected Sir Marcus and everyone else’s levels.

    The rest of the merchant have lower level, three common skills; Arithmetic, Commerce, and Cart Booster.


    .... The difference between the levels are too high. I don’t even need to see what Uris’s group’s levels are at....


    Monsters and beasts such as dire ape, dire badger, dire bear, dire boar, dire lion, and dire wolf were all above level 20. The chances of this group of human coming out alive was very slim. Not zero but close to it.


    Oh? There’s the reading of a chimera and a large monstrous scorpions. Is there any flying monsters? Ah, found them. Hmm, they flew pretty far behind from the rest of the horde... A group of hawk? No, that’s not what it’s called in this world. I believe the term is “Shark Talons,”


    So in total, there would be 1,250 monsters, including the flying ones? Oh my, this village was so in deep shit.


    When I told Uris this, the man froze completely in fear. Seeing that Uris was completely useless, I have to go tell this to Marcus instead of waiting for Uris to tell the man.


    “A-a horde of Dire Monsters and Flying Talons are coming here?!” Marcus slammed the table with his wooden cup of water. He had just finished talking to the villager’s chief. And now, even more bad news was here. He slumped into his chair as his face pale completely. Nathan, James and the rest of the merchant had completely frozen in their seats. Their expression was completely in desperation.


    “H-how f-far...?” Marcus tried to come back to his senses but he wasn’t really successful. Yep, even if this world have horde of monsters attacks often, for a small group of merchants like this, their hope are completely dash away.


    “About 6 hours minimum at the rate that they are traveling. However, once they got closer to the village, their speed will probably increase so, about 4 hours max?” I answered.


    “4 hours,...” Uris whispered as he snapped out of his surprise. Uris had been through a couple of monsters horde before, so he have experiences with it. However, I doubt that his previous will helps in situation as shitty as this.


    Sorry, everyone. It’s because I am here that the situation are like this. My presence tends to triggered hordes of monsters, a lot. For me, this was considered lucky, for other people, this was a disaster.


    This was one of the reason why I didn’t go out back when I was a teen. This was why I nearly turned into a Hikikomori. Because my luck affects the people around me far too much. Back when I can’t control my luck, do you know how many people’s life changes because of me?


    “Sir Marcus, please calm yourself down. We still have some times. The only choose that we have right now is to evacuate the villagers here into a safer place and fortify the villages walls. I can create a underground shelter that will last 3 days and I can create walls using Earth magic. However, everyone here who can fight will have to continue fighting the hordes that’s coming, as I will be busy keeping the walls up.” This is the best that I can do for now. If I keep using my powers when I just got to this world not even that long ago, bad things will happen so I won’t do anymore than that. I have to wait for this world to accept my presence and got used to my lucks before doing anything else.


    Well, it probably won’t take that long since this world already had gotten used to His Highness Prince Yui. That man’s presence is even more.... You know, mind-breaking than mine. At least with me, I won’t take out things like Immortal Pills for Cultivations and Martial Arts... Or Pills that will increase the lifespan of a normal human...


    Yes, I had already notice that Prince Yui had given the two bodyguards that was there with him that time two pills. Because their presence was no longer human but rather a semi-human-semi-immortal. Since I have no clue when Tian Yuanle had already been the Prince Yui in this world for, I cannot act rashly. I have to at least make sure that my presence won’t caused this world to collapse.


    So, for now, this is all that I can do.


    “Really? Shirin-sama?! You can make walls?!” Asked Marcus with hope in his eyes. The rest of the merchant look both hopeful, like they had seen the sun after a long year of darkness. I wondered since when did the merchants start calling me Shirin-sama, too. I hope that it wasn’t because of captain Uris.


    I nodded. “For now, gather everyone up and told them to go to the Chief’s house. His house is in the middle of the village so it made it easier for me to create a underground shelter there. As for water, food, and other thing, I will also take care of it but it would only last three days at most.” I said as I stretches my arms, pretending to look like the actions that I will do will be very tiresome.


    Marcus, Uris, and Nathan all looks worried that I will collapse from using too much mana but I didn’t wait for them to protest and went ahead to the village chef’s house.


    It didn’t take me that long to make a shelter that are deep enough and secrecy enough. The shelter is 15 meter away from the surface. There’s a small natural water well inside alongside with ‘holes’ that they can used as potty during natural’s call. Of course, tissues and paper for wiping their ass isn’t something available in this world. So, instead, I left a lot of small sticks for them to us... This was just how it is in this world... Even if I had successful create a modern day pumping system for my house, this isn’t my house so such thing isn’t my problem. Creating stone wall for the shelter was a lot easier since I am under the ground. As for beds, earthen beds with wooden planks are fine for now.


    All in all, there’s three large bathroom with water well next to it. Ten small toilets (holes), food shelves with enough food to last for a week. Water container made out of bamboo. And, lastly, enough rough blankets for sleeping. The rest, things like cooking tools, cannot be taking in so only magical tools are allow to be used. The chef’s daughter will be the one to power those tools.


    Next, I pretended to sway as I went out toward the wall of this villages.


    SIr Marcus and the villagers look worriedly at me but I just wave them away. The rest was not my jobs so Marcus had to lead the people down to the secret underground.


    While he was doing that, I went toward the large trees nearest to the wall and use magic to cut it down. A lot of the trees will be used to support the wall so Uris and the merchants bodyguards helped out too. Since they too have their own Storage Backpack, carrying and transferring the wood logs didn’t take long.


    I planned to make a earthen wall for this village, of course, but I also need something to be the foundation of the walls so wood will have to do. I don’t have the time to gather stones to make a stone wall. So, woods and earth will work for now. Next, I fired up the earth to harden them and fortified them with woods.


    In this village, they specialist in a herb plants used for making glues so I also request that and used it to harden the walls. This way, not only would it last longer, it would also offer a protection against fire.


    After three hours, I finished making ten towers made of wood and earth for archers, along with walls that are pretty much what will stop the monsters.


    Ah, I also make pits all over the places too. With sleeping potion smeared spikes on the bottom.


    Now, all that I have to do is wait. I pretended to collapsed as I pants with sweats rolling down on my forehead and neck.


    “Mayfill, water...” I ordered Mayfill whom stay next to up me for water. Mayfill worriedly give me a cup of cold water as I drank them all. After that, it was just a matter of waiting.


    Five hours later.


    I am very disappointed. Sorry, I shouldn’t be saying this when the villagers are crying in relief that their homes are intact but for real, I am very disappointed.


    In myself.


    I had made the Earthen walls far too strong. The sleeping potion smeared on the spikes are a little bit far too efficient. Not only does it slow down the monsters on the ground, it also cause the flying talons to drop from their skies, into a dead sleep.


    .... Like serious... This only mean that I am far too strong... So I leave killing the monsters and beasts to everyone else while I pretended to be resting.


    Since the sleeping potion was specifically for beast only, humans are safe to go near it. The rest? They have no problem with killing it themselves. Asides from me, everyone else, even the villagers who had hidden themselves underground came up to kill them.


    I am not going to talk about what happen afterward because its a pain in the ass. Nor am I going to talk about what happened next.


    Let’s just said that I had successfully completely all my mission/quests with an A+ on all quests, and leave it at that.


    Yes, I even got the spiderworm’s threads that I wanted along with accidentally collecting enough honey to covered my whole house with. I left all the bodies of the monsters that I killed to the villages that we passed by and that’s it. Of course, if it was monsters like Black Wolf who have very beautiful furs then I am keeping it. No one complain about it, either.


    I took Novelle, Annabelle, and Mayfill with me back to Karnosh City. The other women? They went to the nearby towns that we passed by, even after knowing that they will probably have to move again once the Emperor investigates what happened in this region of the world.


    For now, Mayfill’s job was to make musical strings for me so that I can craft all sorts of strings instruments. As for Novelle, for now, her job are to clean the house that I made for them to live in and my house. Aside from that, she had to look after the orphan’s payment everyday and make sure that they eats the foods that I had cooked.


    Since I wanted Novelle to be able to read, write and do math. I hired two people to teach her since I am no good at teaching kids. One of my bad point was that I am not very good at teaching things like that.


    Not that I cannot teach them, I can since I do have the teaching skills, but I myself just don’t feel that I am good at it. Besides, I never learned this world’s writing system. I can read, write, and speak in them due to my “All Languages Learned” Skills but I had never actually learn it.


    Ah, since this will cut the times that Novelle can look after her sister, I only make it so that she will only work in the afternoon, when Annabelle is asleep.


    Hm? Their payment? Of course, it is as I had said that I will pay. Novelle’s rates aren’t as high as the orphans since she doesn’t need to use a lot of her strength but for Mayfill, for now, I am paying it according to the grade that her strings are worth for me, asides from the already payment.


    Which mean that if in a day, Mayfill can make up to three strings that I approved off, then her payment will be 3 small silvers coin, as each string cost 1 small silver coin each to make.


    The reason was that it is very hard to make music strings so this much was a given. After all, this was handcraft and not machines created.


    After that, I stop accepting request from both the Adventurer’s guild and the Commerce Guild. I plan to take a couple of months off in a complete rest as I look after my gardens and farms. Along with making a violin, a piano, a bass, and let’s just said the whole orchestra musical instruments. Even the drums sets since I have a lot of hides from monsters. Ahh, I still want some fish... I want some sushi.

    Chapter 10: Prince Yui and the Black Knighthood
    This chapter has yet to be edited and fully written. Please note that more details might be added after editions and proofread.

    Three months had passed by already since I had hired Novelle and her family. Now, the pale and malnourished girl had grows two inches taller than before, and her facial skins tone got better. She doesn’t look like she was starving anymore.

    Mayfill’s expression was also getting better too, Her pale face from starving and stress from being captured had cause her skins to be very pale and wan. So now, they all are healthy and happy. Mayfill was even thinking of saving enough money to sent her other daughter to school in this city.

    While all that happens, I was lazing around the house, doing whatever I want to do. When I am bored, I will go to the many bookstore in this city to buy some books. Since books are expensive in this world, me buying a lot of them had cause all the bookstore owner to know me by name now. So, now, my personal Library has thousands of books already.

    And yes, by now, I can say that I knows this world enough to use my other abilities with no problem. Things like making puppet out of wood, stone, and the likes are okay. Things like crafting and making spells card to use are also okay. The only thing that I don’t think it’s okay was using my mid-to-high tiers magic spells. Things like instantaneously healing potion are a no no no. If it heal over time, for example, says stop bleeding within five seconds and start healing slowly within ten minutes... those are fine but instant affects like my other high level potions are a big no no no.

    Well, this is okay, I guess. I don’t need to be over powerful in this world since Prince Yui alone are already powerful enough. I don’t think that this world can handle both I and Prince Yui at the same time.

    Ah, that’s right. Today was the day that the royalty will send someone over to interview/interrogates me about the mana pool. Which was why someone lazy like me was up and about, making sweets and deserts.

    To be completely honest, I already knew who are coming. Still, since he will be here on business, he will act with a priority. That much, I know that I can expect from him. So, the least that I can do as the house owner was greet and entertained my guests equally.

    Which mean, deserts and sweets.

    What? Tian Yuanle, no, Prince Yui have a sweet tooth too!

    If only he would stop hitting on me, I would had been good friend with him as we bond over sweets. Too bad, it seems like I triggered something within the Immortal when we first had sex for the first time back in that alternative Earth, the normal one that took place during the age of information, about 14 centuries before I was born in my original world. Since then, Tian Yuanle had been... stalking... me. That’s why I said that he’s a bit too creepy!

    Although, he have some stamina in bed....

    What? I like sex, okay?! I might not be a sex-addicts but I am not shy from sex. I had live for a long time, I know that abstinence does no good for me. There’s only so much that a sexless life can do for me.

    Which was why, there are times when I would have one-night stands. Boyfriend? I used to have a couple, all in separated times, but knowing that I will not be able to live a life with them, I stopped looking for a love ones. The emotional damages that I cost me was no joke, okay?

    So, one night stand! In worlds that have both gender of prostitute or love-boys and girls like this world, I have no problems with going to the the red-light district for quickies.

    Of course, there are times when Tian Yuanle wanted sex so he would come to me... this man was surprisingly very faithful, which wasn’t even something that he should do since we aren’t even going out. No, it’s more like I am the only one that can satisfied him? Ever since then, I had sex with him couple of times already. With no emotional attachment from my side. I can’t say the same for his side thought, because it was obvious that that man loves me with a intensity that will melt steel if it could.

    Still, since I don’t hate the man as much as he frightened the hell out of me, not terrofied but frightened, I stopped running away from the man.

    Well... I don’t hate this man but I obvious don’t love him either. I can’t be indifference toward this man so the best can do was act slightly friendly-slash-enemies/lover... I know I can trust this man with my back but I can’t trust him with my heart.

    Tian Yuanle was not the kind of man that you would wanted to trust your heart to, especially since this man was the kind that will ruthlessly crushed it too if he suspects you.

    That’s why I will not fall in love with this man even if he’s the last man in the universe or galaxy.


    Knock Knock Knock

    “Come in,” I answered as I stopped cleaning the kitchen. I just finished baking two swiss cake, one lemon cake, and one cheesecake using the cheese that I had made from the milk from before and the honey that I collected from the wasps.

    “S-Shirin-sama, the royal knights are h-here with His Highness the Prince Yui.” Celena, the oldest girl among the orphans that I hired, whose job was similar to a maid since she’s the only one among the orphans that have history dealing with nobles.

    “Let them in and tell the kids to continue watering the plants. After that, you guys can go get the money from Novelle for today. Tell them that they don’t have to come in for the next three days.” I said as I put away the apron. “Celena, after that, make some teas and call for Novelle to serve the cakes. Before you go home, take the large cake with you to share it with everyone,” I said.

    “Y-yes! Thank you, Shirin-sama!” Celena brightened up so fast that it make it look like a tail had just pop up behind her. What are you? A cat-girl? No, a dog-girl? But, you’re a human!

    “Don’t forget to take your shares of fruits back with you, too.” I said as I went to change while Celena do her jobs.

    After I change into a more formal clothes, I went to the guests room.

    “Shinichi!” Before I knew it, Prince Yui already had me in his arms.

    “W-what? Let me go, Prince Yui!” God damn it, this man! He’s so clingy! Don’t he know that there’s something called Personal Space?!

    “Nope, I’m not letting you go. Never!” He cheekily replied with a large grin on his face. His face brightened up so bright that it look like the sun. Although, honestly, this man acts like a dog, his a damn wolf to the bone.

    “Prince Yui!” I shouted as I try to stop him from kissing my cheeks.

    ‘Hmm?” He snuggle into my face, trying to kiss my cheeks again.

    Oh god, I can feel my face flush. This man!

    “Stop that!” I said as I tries to push him away. Yet, Prince Yui didn’t move an inch. Goddamnit, this man was still much stronger than I am!

    Just what in the world does this man’s body are made out off?!

    “No way, I wanna kiss so I will kiss,” He tenderly said as he places small kisses all over my cheeks, nose, eyes, forehead and even my ears.

    “Kya~” Oh god, my ears are very sensitive! Don’t touch that place! “S-stop it!” I said as I pushes his face away from me. Shit, dealing with this man always leave me so exhausted. I can feel my ears heated like it was on fire and I am pretty sure that my face was red too.

    Huh? What? Why are you hard, you fucking pervert prince?!

    [Luis’s View]

    The captain of the Black Knighthood, Luis Markshall was from a family of declined noble. He was Prince Yui’s classmate from ever since the young age of 8 years old.

    Ever since knowing the prince, he had never even seen the prince smile in a way that wasn’t creepy and sincere like this before. As someone who had known the prince for the past 17 years of his life, this was literally the first time that he had seen his prince acts this intimacy toward anyone.

    As someone who grown up with prince Yui, he had seen how much the prince hate touching other human. He had seen him looking at human like they were insects needed to be crushed under his foot. How disgusted he was with them. Honestly, Luis don’t know how was it possible that he had sworn royalty to his man when they were just kids. At least, that was until the prince had decided that they are weak as fuck and decided to train them himself.

    So now, even if a god came from the Holy Kingdom and told him that their prince was a daemon in disguise, Luis will believe it but he will never betrays him. They will only ever answered to their Prince Highness, they wouldn’t even answer the Emperor.

    So, to see the Prince that he had growth up knowing, smiling as bright as the sun for the first time ever, was a shocked to him. He doubts that he was the only one. His teammates was all looking at their prince like he just got possessed and was growing three heads.

    They had heard rumor before. Rumors that the prince was courting a Visitor from another country who had settled down in the Green Amber Forest. And that the prince had fallen in love with the Visitor at first sight, had taken him with them to the nearest city. They had also heard rumor that the visitor had rejected their prince more than once, and yet, the prince had not taking it to heart. It was even rumor that the visitor was so very beautiful that it made the air sparkles.... Well, the last part was certainly true.

    The man inside his Highness’s arms was a beauty. With long wavy hair, black eyes that had long eyelashes, pure smooth skin tones that speaks of cleanness and flawless, a face that will make any man fall on its knees, a charisma that graces the atmosphere surrounding him, an elegance that make even nobles seems like kids, a personality that was not loosing to their Prince. And most of all, when he blushed, his face turned red and his expressions was even more beautiful and adorable.

    “Ouch! Shinichi, don’t be mean to me~” Their prince whined as he continue to hold onto the man called Shinichi.

    “It’s Shirin! Not Shinichi! Let go of me, your Highness!” The man shouted as he tries to push away their Prince again.

    Crack Crack Crack

    For reasons unknown, the spots underneath their feets cracks with pressure. Luis can see the raise of mana surrounding his Prince and Shinichi-sama. His eyes widen in disbelief.

    “No Way!” Their Prince once again smile brightly as as he continue to kisses the other man.

    “Mhm!” Ah, their Prince had finally successfully kissed Shinichi-sama on the lips. Oh, was that his tongue going inside Shinichi-sama’s mouth? Ohhh, Shinichi-sama is starting to kiss him back!

    “Arg!” Ouch, Shinichi-sama had just knee their prince in the area that the sun doesn’t shine to. Oh, their Prince had successful go behind Shinichi-sama’s back and huge him from behind, this time.

    Aree? Where is His Highness taking Shinichi-sama too?

    “Let go of me, your highness!” Shinichi-sama’s voice vibrated from above their heads.

    “NO WAY! I want you now and I will have you now!” Ah, their Highness Prince Yui’s bad behavior of not listening to anyone when he wanted something is on again.

    Hmm? Wait, does that mean that His Highness was going to ‘do it’ with Shinichi-sama? Even though Shinichi-sama doesn’t want it? Your Highness, what are you doing?

    Boom!

    Ohhh, did Shinichi-sama just punch their Prince? And why aren’t us knights doing anything. Well, we can’t do anything. His Highness had order us to stay put and enjoy the cakes that Shinichi-sama’s maid will be serving and not to act out of place in this house, or else.... The threats at the end cause shivers to go up his neck.

    [End of Luis’s View]
    [Back to Shinichi’s View]

    “S-stop touching me there!” I yelled at the Prince as I try to stop his hand from touching my little brother down there. My eyes meet his and oh god, the man’s eyes had already turned purple-ish due to lust!

    I gasped as I too started to feel excited, too. Shit, this was why I can’t hate this man! Our body was far too compatible. I don't want to be addicted to this feeling of compatible between us. It was not healthy!

    Sex friend with this man? Fuck no! His far too possessive for me to be able to be his sex-friend. If I can’t even be a sex-friend with this man, what makes you think that being his lover or boyfriend is okay?!!!

    “Ahh, stop it, Tian Yuanle!” I pushed his hand away from my private area.

    No! Why are you kissing my neck?! Ah! Don’t touch my earlobes!!!

    Goddamnit! When did you finish taking my clothes off?!

    “I said NO!” I used all my strengths to push him off. For the first time since he started to touch me today, I successfully pushed him away. Both of us were panting, me in both exhausting and lust, trying to get back my breathing and calm down my body. While Prince Yui was panting from lust, as he tries to control himself. His eyes was still purple, something that only occurs when we had sex. He looks slightly surprised that I use this much strength to push him off.

    “Why?” He asked. Not understanding why I rejected him.

    “You idiot. I don’t want to have sex with you today,” I answered as I pull a new outfit from my internal space. Just as I was going to get up to redress myself, Prince Yui pull me back underneath him.

    “Why not?” He asked again. “You are also feeling it, don’t lie to me, Shinichi.” My eyes harden as he used my real name.

    Before I can answer, his manhood touched mine and send a large amount of pleasure down my spine, causing me to gasped as my body shivers.

    Tears threatened to spill from my eyes as my vision blurred. Damn it, this feeling was far too strong. Our body was far too complitible. Just by touching each other, both of us were turn into beast. If it was only our body, then it would had been so easy to reject this man. But our magic/ki/spirits were also very complitible too. So, it made our sex something that make porn pale in comparison.

    Tian Yuanle didn’t wait for me to come to my sense. The next thing I notice was his hot lips and mine kissing each other like we’re trying to eat each other up. My hand was in his hair, tugging it toward me as I press my body closer to him. Shit, not good. This feels far too great.

    I can feel his finger going down to stretches my private area with oil. One finger. Two finger. Three finger. I growled. Damn it! Stop playing with me! I pushed him down as I ride him hard and fast. Oh my god. I moan as I continue to push my body more and more. Deeper. Harder. Faster.

    The position change. Ohhhh! Deeper! Ah! Harder! Ah! Ah! No, not there! Shit! Coming!

    I still want more. He pull me closed as he kissed my face all over again. Ah! Why are you still so slow! Faster!

    All I can feel was the highest pleasure that I had ever feel. Hot. Deep. Full. Intense. More. I want more. I think I can hear someone moaning deeply as my hand crawl into someone’s back. As pleasure after pleasure cause my vision to blurred over and over again, I can feel my teeth biting someone’s skins, drawing blood.

    Ah, not good. My conscious are slipping away....

    By the time that I woke up, I was cocoon deep into someone’s chest.

    My back hurts. My throat hurts and dried. My head hurts from screaming too much. My body was utterly spend and yet I feel so damn refreshed and satisfy.

    Ah, damn it. He came inside me again! I am lucky that this man wasn’t the god of Life, or else I would be pregnant by now.

    What? My body isn’t human anymore. Even as a male, now, I can get pregnant if I desire it. I have the power and the strength to make it happen. It didn’t happen because I do not desire it.

    Especially when my partner in crime was Tian Yuanle. If not because I am preventing it from happening, by now, Tian Yuanle would have been a father already.

    “Morning, Shinichi.” A soft voice called from behind me as kisses landed all over my neck and my body. Ah, damn it.

    “Shit. Not again. How long did we have sex this time?” I asked, completely awake. I tried to sit up but Prince Yui won’t let me.

    Ah, this man was so damn possessive. Especially after sex.

    “Two days. Don’t worry about the investigation. I had already send my knights to investigates it.” He said as he kissed my cheeks.

    Ah, you know what? I am far too tired for this.

    “Let go of me. I need to take a shower,” I push away from Prince Yui’s chest. The man smile lazily at me as he let me go. I bet that he would join me in the shower... and I was right.

    Ah! Didn’t you have enough already?! Ah, damnit. Having sex in the bathroom was a bad idea!

    “No, sex in the bath is a very good idea!” Yui cheekily smile at me as he lift my tired body up and drop me onto his fully-awaked manhood.

    “Ah!” Shit, the pleasure. Too much.

    I already known this but I will said it again: This man was a damn sex-demon!

    After a hour of having another hardcore sex in the bathroom, we finally finished washing ourselves clean.

    When we came back to the living room, none of the knights are there. Only a small wooden doll was in its place.

    Oh? A Communication Doll? I look at Prince Yui with a look that said ‘You actually made this doll for the knights?’ He only smirked back at me and then smile brightly. What a damn deceptive smile.

    The fact that this man will smile brightly like this when he’s scheming was something that I had learned long time ago. I learned to stay away from him when he’s like this. This man was still so damn manipulated.

    What are the Communication Doll? Well, a doll. Made from wood using sculptural technique that involved dark magic and wind magic. You can say that it works the same way a cell phone work via wireless.

    The fact that Prince Yui had copy this technique and use it in this world was slightly uncomfortable. Why? Because I was the one that created this technique for better communication in one of my previous world that doesn’t have technology. Only basic magic.

    Of course, that world was a world of magic and beast, like this one. Only not as dangerous and large. Not only that, that world was only a ranked E world, meaning that it was a very simple world. So, making the Communication Doll was seen as Mysterious Magic, at that time. As the owner of Communication Doll, I had opened a business selling those dolls to ever [y kingdom in that world, so you can say that I was very rich from it. There’s various sizes too. Small ones that can be used once or twice to large ones that can communicated longer distance. I had made a couple of them that are exactly like a wireless, protected and secure, smartphone.

    The wooden doll in this living room was a medium small size one. Specifically for private use. To connected from one doll to another, you need to used blood as the medium. This was why creating communication doll is a dark magic arts. To make sure that voices reach from one end to another without interceptions, wind magic was used. It took some times for me to perfected this technique. To think that Tian-Prince Yui can make it too was both a surprise and yet not a surprise. It’s just a tidbit annoying that this world doesn’t such thing as privacy or copyright law.

    I sit down on the one person-chair as I take out the teapot from my internal space. What? Oh the Storage Backpack? I already returned it. Since I plan to only rent it out when I am doing mission or working, I didn’t use it everyday. Of course, I could just make one myself but I am too lazy to do it. And beside, if I made one for myself then Prince Yui will convinced me to make one for him to. A matching pair... you can say. So, I won’t.

    I made some chamomile tea mixed with cinnamon. Hm. Taste great.

    What? Soreness? The soreness from sex? Ah, it had already vanished. My body recovered super-fast so no worries. If not, there was no way that I would had survived this man’s lovemaking.

    “Shinichi, me too. Make me a cup too~” Prince Yui whined with puppy eyes as he pouted at me.

    .... Like seriously, this man. Forget it. It’s far too tiring to refused this man.

    I take out another cup from my Internal World Spaceas I poured the chamomile mixed cinnamon tea into it.

    Sip. Yep. So good. Delicious. Since the cinnamon in this world was more sweeter than from Earth, I don’t need to add any sugar or honey in it. It was already naturally sweet.

    “Nee, Shinichi, can I buy some tea leaves from you?” Prince Yui asked with a tilt of his head.

    I blinked at his question. “Why on Earth would you do that when you can just make your own?” I asked, completely serious. As a god, Tian Yuanle was far stronger than me. He can created more than just about anything. Such things as tea was easier than breathing for him.

    “And don’t call me Shinichi in this world.” I glared at him.

    “Well, I can make green teas but I am not very skill with creating other various tea favours.” He answered. Was he ignoring me telling him to not call my real name here?

    “Why don’t we exchange then. If you could get me some Sencha, Gyokuro, Tencha, Matcha, Shincha, the Ichi, Ni, and San Series Bancha, and fukamushi sencha teas, Longjing tea, Liluochun tea, Maojian, La’an Melon seed tea, Junshan Yinzhen tea and Keemun tea then I can give you some other favours teas in exchange.” I don’t have a lot of green teas left since I drink them daily. And since I haven’t make a tea brushes farms yet, I can’t procure my own teas. Besides, with my little knowledge of how to actually grown tea brushes, the chances of success wasn’t very high. I need to slowly experiments with it. After all, it takes three years for a tea plant to mature from a seed. So, I need to create a special zone or greenhouse for it.

    “Okay!” Prince Yui replied back happily as he continue to sip his cup of tea. I had to refill mine a couple of time. Yep, still delicious.

    Hm? Oh, oh right. Novelle can’t come in right now. I clapped my hands to reset the formation within my house. When the knights left, Prince Yui had probably restricted the entrance while we were having sex. After all, it would be very bad if normal people like Novelle and Mayfill come close to us when we’re having sex. Our control over our powers wasn’t the best when we were that distracted. We probably won’t notice if we had accidentally kills someone when we were doing it. So, Prince Yui’s action was a greatly insighted one. And it was from experiences...

    A minute past by and Novelle nervous and confusingly came inside. “S-shirin-sama,” She nervously greet me, completely ignoring Prince Yui. she’s probably thinking that she did something wrong since she couldn’t enter the house in the last two days. Ma, it’s not good scaring the kid.

    “Come in Novelle, sorry about the last two days. I was a little busy so I closed the formation within the house. Which was why you can’t enter,” I explain with a small smile on my face. Oi, Prince Yui, I can feel your stares and jealousy. Stop it!

    “R-really? I d-didn’t do anything wrong?” Novelle look both hopeful and fearful with a dash of relief on her expression. I nodded. Of course, Novelle didn’t do anything wrong. This little girl was so cautious in working here that she wouldn’t do anything wrong in fear of being abandoning or fired. So, everything that I told her to do, she did it with a concise and preciseness that are more or less make her a very great little workers. She’s royal and known it well enough that I let her control the money for the other orphans because I trusted her not to do anything she shouldn’t do with it.

    “You did nothing wrong, Novelle.” I answered as I continue to sipped my cup of tea. Novelle sigh out loud in relief.

    “For now, could you go see if there’s any cake left in the kitchen? If there is, served them,” I said as I continue to drink my tea. Ah, cinnamon always calm me down. The natural sweetness within the cinnamon doesn’t go well with cakes but I can just brew a new teapot for going with sweet cakes. Hm, which tea should I brew?

    Chamomile and apple favor? Herbal tea? Red tea? White tea? Green Tea? Black tea? Or Decaf teas? Hmm, which one is good?

    “Nee, Prince Yui, which teas do you want to drink with the cakes?” I asked, knowing that Novelle has found the extra cake slices inside the ‘magic cooler’ that I made.

    “Hmm... Rose tea? Or maybe Cherry Tea? What about Peach tea?” This man... yep, he have a sweet tooth alright. The rose tea that he’s talking about wasn’t made on Earth, it was hand-made by me so it was sweeter and denser than the normal rose tea. The same apply to cherry tea and peach tea... Out of all the tea flavors that I had created, those naturally sweets and doesn’t have honey cubes or slices were all favors teas. The majority of them are infused with organic tea leaves that are high antioxidants and not allergy triggered due to the removal of certains component with how I grown them. So, not only are they healthier than other teas, they are all natural sweetener and does not make your guilty for drinking a lot of it. Daily.

    Not that I care since I can’t get fat even if I consume all the sugars in the world... And my metabolism and regeneration skills was so high that such things was impossible.

    This was one of the reason why Tian Yuanle love my favours teas. As a Chinese Immortality God, things like sugars aren’t something that they like to consume due to the accumulation of impurity within their bodies, making it harder for them to transcended/leveling up. Since my teas were all naturally sweetened without sugars, there was no trace of impurity within the teas at all. Only benefits with no hidden clause.

    When Novelle came back, she has with her four slices of two different cakes. Apple-mango fruit cake and the cinnamon flavored vanilla cream cake. Since I also have a very sweet tooth, but I don’t really like it when my cakes are too sugarly, I made all the cakes a tidbit more sweeter using the natural sweetener contains within the fruits and cinnamon. Which mean that Prince Yui didn’t need hold back.

    The rest of the day was spent looking after my farms and gardens, making sure that they are watered okay, since the kids won’t be here until tomorrow. Since I really don’t want to cause any irregular effects over my farms, I have to restraint myself with a couple Restriction Spells as I watered the gardens and farms. Just right after I finished watering everything and making sure that nothing’s wrong with my fruits farm, the knights returned with grimed expression on their face. Their aura surged with a gloominess that had confirmed my suspicion. So, the mana pool’s effects didn’t get lessen even when that mermaid isn’t there anymore. No, it got stronger? Since there was no one there to control the fusion rates of the pool anymore.

    “Novelle, lead the knights to the guest room and inform Prince Yui that they are back,” I said as I went to the kitchen, to see if there’s any snacks left. I haven’t made any today so we will have to see.

    There’s some cinnamon cookies and some rose cream left so I made some cinnamon rose flavored cookies.

    When I got to the guest room, Novelle was pale with fear as she shivers in a corner. The reason? Prince Yui’s darkening expression and the helpless look on the knights face. I just don’t know if Novelle’s expression are caused by the fear of the mana pool or from Prince Yui’s aura... probably both.

    “Novelle, served the snacks and go back home to spend some times with your sister. Come back when it’s time for lunch,” I ordered her as I passed her the tray with the cookies. Novelle nervously did as I instructed before running away with tears in her eyes, causing a couple of the knights to be ashamed of themselves for scaring a little kid.

    I sit down far away from Prince Yui, causing him to pout at me, which I ignored in favor of brewing a new pot of teas. This time, it is just plain green teas to go with the cookies, which was already sweet enough. The knights didn’t dare to look at their prince’s pouting face at all.

    I bet that this was their first time seeing their royal highness Prince Yui acting so childish like this. This man was very serious at all times but for unknown reason, whenever he sees me, he tends to acts childish... which can be both adorable and yet strangely irritated at times. He’s no kid so even acting like so won’t change my mind about this person.

    He’s a hard working only when it comes to things that interests him personally. Anything that he think was troublesome, he won’t even look at it. Taking me and his relationship, for example. Because I intrigued his interest when we first met, this man has been following me for the past three worlds. That’s 2,000 years or so of knowing each other. So, you can say that I know this man well enough to say that he’s heartless, ruthless, merciless, cold, sadist, have no interest in things that normal people take interests in, dominating in all that he do, and the kind of man that I really don’t want to be friend with since things like friends and family tie is nothing but empty words to him.

    Tian Yuanle was a very cold man. He was cautious to a fault, merciless towards those that he didn’t like and like-the same, ruthless, heartless, cold-hearted, cold-blooded, uncaring to those that he have no interest in, vicious and can hold resentments the size of the universe.

    However, once this man fall in love with someone, even the collapse of the universe will not be able to stop him. And if you betrays him, then even if you are in another dimensional realm, different universe, different timeline, he would chase you to make your life a living, special, hell. You would wishes that you were dead already.

    That’s just the kind of man Tian Yuanle was. This was why I would never place my heart into his hand. And this was also why I wouldn’t accept his heart, either. He knew this. He knew that I know this. This was why he was still here, trying to court me with only 90% of his intention. Both he and I like our situations. No one was placing one’s heart into another’s hand. Our trust toward each other can only be counted as physical. It was never emotional or spiritual.

    Because he knew that I will not accept him as he was. He also knew that with a mere 2000 or so years of knowing each other, I might not hate him but I will not love him either. If there was ever a chance that I would fall in love with this man, then it wouldn’t be in this world. It wouldn’t be within the next 10,000 years, either.

    I am pretty fond of him. I don’t hate him. I don’t love him either. He was not my enemy but he wasn’t a trust friend either. He was not a sex-friend, not a lover, not a boyfriend, or a family member but he was someone who I can trust my back to. Not my heart. Just my back.

    So, whenever he wanted sex, I will stop him if I don’t feel like it, regardless of how much our body and soul reacts. Therefore, in case like our previous sex, it wouldn’t make me hate him either, nor would it cause me to be soft hearted. Because half-way thru, I got excited too and let him.

    My heart had been tampered for so long that it turns into steel already. No matter how adorable this man acts like, no matter how pitiful he seems like, it wouldn’t cause my heart to waver that easily.

    So, stop pouting!

    The knights glance at me but I pretended that I didn’t see it. They must’ve been scared of changes in their prince.

    The room was quite. Prince Yui was looking at me with an unreadable expression on his face while the knights were nervously looking between the two of us.

    Ten minutes later, after we finished our teas and cookies, the knights all reported to Prince Yui with an grimmed expression and hopeless look in their eyes.

    Like I though, even when the mermaid wasn’t inside that pool, the magic resides within it was still increasing. And because I had killed every monsters inside that cave, it made it both easier for the knights to investigates and harder for them to find any clues as to why the mana pool formed there.

    On their way toward that cave, they had encountered three waves of hordes from different monsters and beasts. Luckily, there was no Savage, Wild, or Magic Beasts. Only a small numbers of mutated beasts and a lot of normal monsters.

    Two knights has light injuries and no casualty.

    In other words, this knights order was very strong, the Elite within the Elites.

    To be able to survive with little to no injuries from three encounter with hordes of mutated beasts wasn’t just luck. It was no wondered why Novelle was so scared of them. Their aura and mannerism was like war-warrior, filled with bloodlust and intensively impressives. The smell of blood from their clothes and weapons was very strong too.

    His Highness Prince Yui’s expression was not good.

    “Shin-chan,” My lips twitches at the nickname, “do you know anything that could prevent the further spread of the mana from the pool?” Prince Yui asked.

    I had thought that he was going to asked if I known what cause the mana pool but instead, he asked for a prevention instead.

    I close my eyes as I think. Hmmm. I don’t know if the magic restriction formations that I had would work in this case since it is far too strong. It would probably turn the whole area into a Magical Maze if I use these Magic Restriction Formation...

    ‘Bel-chan, give me a list of magic restriction spells that work short-term but have a wide area of affect.’

    [Yes, Master.]
    Restriction Spells, Level 50-100
    Three Star Restriction Barrier
    Three Star Restriction Barricade
    Restriction of Mana
    Magic Forest Barrier
    Barrier of the Veinsodet
    Restriction of Discontinuity
    Five Triangles of Restrictions
    Five Circles of Termination

    Hmmm... for short term, that would mean... 12 months as the shortest? And 3 years as the longest for the spell within these level.

    “The Five Triangle of Restriction spell can restrict the effects of the mana pool for 12 months. Aside from that, the Five Circle of Termination can closed the mana circulated within the mana pool for 14 months.” I answered Prince Yui.

    “The Five Triangle of Restriction? Shin-chan, isn’t that a forbidden spell?” Asked Prince Yui with a blank look in his eyes.

    “What forbidden spell? That’s only a low level spell! Don’t speak nonsense if you don’t know what I’m talking about!” It wasn’t like I was talking about the kind of restriction spells that Tian Yuanle knew of. The Five Triangle of Restriction spell was probably a forbidden spell within his knowledge as a god but it wasn’t the spell that I am talking about.

    “Ah, that spell. I thought that you were talking about the forbidden Five Triangle of Restriction spell...” Prince Yui smile cheekily, brightly with no guilt in sight.

    This man... Yep. He’s a pain in the ass. I don’t need to see the knights face to tell that their expression wasn’t good.

    Smirking, Prince Yui asked me for the spell’s incantation and how to install it.

    ... Why do I suddenly feeling reluctant to give him this spell incantation?....

    I told him anyway.

    “Now, go away. Don’t came back this year!” I said as I kicked out the prince and his knights. Prince Yui didn’t even care as his face have a cheekily smile on it but the knights all looks uncomfortable and offended.

    “Bye, Shin-chan! I will be back in a week!” The prince waved at me as he went thru the gate of my property along with his knights.

    “...” A week. He will be back after a week. Should I take on a couple missions so that I won’t be here when he came back? Yeah, let's do that.

    “Novelle,” I called Novelle.

    My voice wasn’t that loud but because I imbued magic into my voice, Novelle can heard it from her house. Within a couple of minutes, she came to the living room where I was at.

    “Shirin-sama? Do you need me for something?” Novelle asked with a small relief smile on her lips as she seen that the knights all are gone.

    “Yes, I will be gone for the rest of this week so I want you to take care of the others kids with everything else. You don’t need to cook since I will leave the cooked food in the Ice-Storage toolbox, you just have to heat it up. Just in case, I am also leaving some medicines, potions, and magic stones in case of emergency. You remember the safety precautions procedures that I made you went thru right? Good. I will be cooking now so go back home and spend some times with your sister. Your mother is coming back soon. After that, you can come clean the kitchen,” I instructed her.

    Novelle nodded dutifully as she went back to her house, which was next to the hot spring that I made.

    In the kitchen, I made a couple of large pots of tomato basil soups with goblin minced meat, another two large pots of noodle soup with vegetables from this world, a long white rabbit skewers with barbecue sauces and ground herb, couples of fresh loaves of breads with herbs and honey, and for desserts, two large raspberry sorbet terrine and two pack of cookies for snacks.

    This was only enough for me to eat in a day but it would be enough for the kids to last a week. Just in case, I made another pot of fresh goblin soup with lemon juice and vegetables along with two long- 24 inches- loaves of white bread.

    I wrote down the schedule for what to serve on what day and glued it to the Ice-Storage toolbox so Novelle can see it. Right now, Novelle can only read up to certain words so I also make sure to put a small pictures next to the menu for her to see too.

    This was for the kids. For novelle, her food was slightly different.

    Oh, there’s still white bread for her, along with the tomato basil soup with minced goblin meat. But this was only for her breakfast, for lunch, she have a choice between three different kind of sandwiches. And for dinner, there was pasta in three different kind of sauces, and two other different kind of bread. Since she doesn’t eat as much as the other kids, she tends to take them home to share with her mothers.

    I made enough food to last for a whole 14 days for them just in case I was not back by then. I have a feeling that I might not be back by then, so making this much food was a given.

    Since I am going to go get some ice element fish, I might not be back in time. Who knows?

    Or I might not be back at all, at least until I know for sure that Prince Yui went home already. Just for precaution, I left enough ingredients for another week of foods for Novelle to cooks them some simple meal.

    Chapter 11: To the Northern Mountain Range
    These chapters have yet to be edited and fully written. Please note that more details might be added after editions and proofread.
    I had said this before but I will say it again. I want some sushi!

    There is rice in this world. So, I am not worrying about that. Although, it was called white grain instead of rice. It wasn’t popular since bread was a stable food source here. However, according to my knowledge, rice was a staple food for one of the country far to the East of this continent, in a country called Amanto. It is a country that have similar traditions and culture to Japan, China, and Korea with Rice being their stable food source. However, this was like the old culture of Japan, China, and Korea back in the old day of around the 15th centuries, were samurai and the Sengoku period was more of an influences. Of course, with magic involved.

    Even though I said that this was similar to Japan, China and Korea back in the 15th century, only with magic involved, there was more differences than similarity. For one, their culture was more of a mixed match between fantasy magical anime with more Japanese influences rather than Chinese or Korean influences. For two, their food cultures were more simple than the food culture from the easter asian on Earth.

    Like every country in this world, where magic was the norm, their cultural development was far behind. They have tastes like salty, spicy, bitter, sweet, and sour, but that’s it. Their wines are the only one that could be considered more developed than the food. In term of balance, the food in Amanto was pretty balance with no other interesting tastes. And yet, Amanto’s Empire was one of the strongest country in this world, ranking at #1. A hidden number 1, but a number 1, nonetheless.

    Even though there was no information about them in this continent, as someone who is the master of Bel-chan, I can access informations that none can have. Not even to Prince Yui. After all, Amanto’s country, island, was on the other side of the world, right at the edge of the dividend that separated the human world from the Daemon’s world.

    Strangely enough, the daemons avoided them. I think that it might be because that island had a holy ground so daemon in general will instinctively avoid going in that directions.

    Only stupid daemons of low class who doesn’t have enough intelligence/wisdom and or instinct would go there and become stepping stone for the people living there. Which, admittedly, was properly much why they are far stronger than the human in this continent.

    After all, Daemons give out a load of experiences points. That doesn’t change even in this world.
    So, asides from Amanto Country, Rice wasn’t that popular in this continent.

    That’s fine with me. Not being part of the stable food here doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have it here, I am sure that one of the store near the Commerce Guild sells them. It might be a bit expensive but that’s fine. If I could get some seedling and plant them myself, then that’s fine too.

    Who knows, maybe the rice in this world might be different from the ones that I had already planted inside my internal space. Ah, you don’t need to worry because inside my internal space, there’s a machine to automatically detect pests, insects, and take care of the watering level, along with the wind usage. Along with couples of puppets that I created to harvest, organizes, and take care of the warehouses, so the farms inside my Internal World Spacewas alright.

    Well, you can say that the machines will automatically checks the plants, waters, taking care of the pests, and then help the puppets harvest the rice automatically.

    After that, it would automatically bags them up into a air-sealed bags and place them inside my farm-good storage warehouse to be transferred into my Inventory. Of course, the amount that the farm could yield was only about 10 bags, about 10,000 pounds each bag, for each farms per season. So, there was a lot of rice that I had.

    Since I have more than 10,000 farms specifically for rice and yet, not enough machine to take care of the farms. The puppets were the main workers there. So, there are a limited amount of rice that I could produce monthly.

    Normally, rice farms would take about four to five months to grow and mature, but since the time inside my Internal World Spacewas not the same as the outer world, the maturity of the rice was far faster inside my internal space. So, outerly, it was a couple of hours but inside a long time has passed by already.

    So, I won’t worry about high grade rice. Inside my Internal World Spacefarm’s warehouses, I have enough rice to feed a billion people for a couple of hundred thousand years with no problem. Not to mention, the rice inside my Internal World Spacewere all from other worlds so their taste are different and due to it being produced in my internal space, the freshness would always stay so, too. So, I am not worrying about it much.

    What I am worry about, however, was the fishes.

    Would the ice element fishes be good for sushi? I really don’t know since none of the worlds that I been too before have any ice-elements fishes that are edible. Well, ice element fishes that are used in alchemy and other subjects, yes- there’s a lot, but edible was food? No. Not unless you want to freeze your internal organs up from eating it.

    So, I am kind of interesting in the ice element fishes in this world.

    Since the Prince’s birthday had already passed by a couple of weeks ago, I don’t need to go accept the requests from the Commerce Guild but I went to the Commerce Guild anyway. Why? Because there’s a lot of people requesting those ice elements fishes.

    Noblemen, rich merchants, food lovers. Etc. Etc.

    Even me. No, especially me.

    When I set foot inside, Liz’s cousin, a male named Jeya, welcomed me.

    “Good afternoon, Master Shirin,” Jeya smiled brightly at me as he welcome me. Since it was the afternoon, there should had been a lot of people inside the guild but because of the mana pool, a lot of the merchants had already been so busy. So, there was only me and a couple other low ranked merchants here.

    I nodded toward Jeya as I went to the quest board. The request for the ice element fishes were still here, 15 of them, so I grab all of it.

    In total, there are 500 Ice Salmon requests, 250 Frosty Bass, 250 Rainbow Tuna, 100 Frost Mackerel, and 10 Blue Seabeam. All for noblemen and rich merchants. One of the quest was from Lady Luciana, with 10 Ice Salmon, 10 Frosty Bass, and if possible, 2 Blue Seabeam.

    The price for Ice Element Fishes always changes but at this time of the year, and because of the mana pool, the cost had increased by at least 10 percents.

    So, The Ice Salmon, Frosty Bass, Rainbow Tuna, Frost Mackerel and Blue Seabeam, all respectively had an increase of cost from at least 50 small gold coins to 60 small gold coin depended on the sizes of the fishes itself.

    So, all in all, if I don’t get at least 3-4 Platinum Coin then this would be a waste of my time. Well, a little bit. Not that I care about it.

    Afterward, I went to the Adventurer’s Guild and take another three subjugation quests. One of them was a Rank B quests, dealing with a horde of mutated ice beasts that can use ice magic in the Northern Mountain Range, where I am going. Normally, I wouldn’t be able to accepts this much quests and missions but because of the mana pool, the limits that the guilds had set was lift for any Adventurer who are rank C and above. So, I had no problem with accepting additional requests.

    Elena, one of the Adventurer’s guild clerk, had ask me to let a party go with me but I rejected. Because they would only slow me down.

    After that, I rented two large Storage Backpacks and a large wagons. The wagons are for in case of extra carcasses that won’t fit within the two storage backpacks.

    Truly, I shouldn’t be able to rent two large backpack but due to my... connection with Prince Yui, the Adventurer’s Guild didn’t stop me from renting two backpack.

    “Master Shirin, excuse me for asking this but, you are a chef right?” She asked, with a slight puzzle and hesitated look on her face.

    “Yes, I am a chef,” I thought that everyone already knew that I was a chef, so why is Elena asking me this again?

    “Will you really be okay without guards and protectors?” She asked, worried that I had rejected her opinions of having another party to go with me.

    “I am far stronger than I looks, Elena. Don’t underestimate me just because I am a chef,” I replied to her worries with a small, chilling, smile on my face. I don’t feel offended or anything like that, it’s just that she keep pushing the party to go with me, so I am a little annoyed.

    Elena paled. “I-I’m sorry!” She bowed, looking like she’s going to faint.

    Sigh. This is why I have to be very good at controlling my emotions. Because just a slight annoyance from me was enough to cause someone like Elena to be this frightened already. If I don’t control my emotions good enough, yeah, I don’t need to say it out loud of what would happens.

    “Don’t worry about it, Elena. The only reason why I am still a rank C Adventurer was because I really don’t care about my rank and because I had just started being an Adventurer. You don’t need to be that frightened of me, okay?” I did a little hypnotize into my mana as I congealed it into my voice.

    Shouldn’t she be worry that I, as a chef, wasn’t even selling my foods in a restaurant or shop and was an adventurer instead of my health about going to the North by myself? Elena, oh Elena, you are so... Forget it.

    “H-hmm, Yes, Master Shirin,” She replied, slightly relief and yet, showing no sign of being hypnotized. I nodded as I grabbed the two Backpacks that I rented and left the guild along with the accepted quests/missions.

    Outside of the guild, to the right, was the stables for the ‘horse’ like creatures that the natives in this world called “Jule”. It looks exactly like a horse, only longer and taller, along with two additional legs to the four it already has. This horse like creature, the jule, have six legs total, and it can run much faster than a normal horse since it is a monster. A tameable monsters.

    The tamers at the guilds breed this monsters to be used as wagon carriager and puller like a horse. However, since the jule was a large monsters, it’s price was about 10 times as a horse, so only rank A merchants would want to rent it. This, wasn’t a problem for me so I rented two of them and exchanges the wagonst that I had rented for a even larger ones. The two jules pulling a wagon the size of a bus looks slightly awkward since there aren’t any guards besides them.

    And yet, no one dare to sly them. Why? Because I was sitting on top of the wagon and not even steering the jules but they were still moving at a straight line like there was an invisible person steering them. This could only mean that the two jules were terrified of me enough to not acts out of place. Since monsters like the jules have a good instincts, they are often seen as reliable sources of strengths measurements when someone wanted to test something. In my case, it speaks of disciplines and strengths. It speaks of more than just maturity, pride, or whatever it was that people test nowaday. So, no one dare to say anything.

    By the time that I got to even close to the Northern Mountain Range, the weathers had changes into a colder atmosphere and snow started to appears. This happens only four days laters, as I didn’t stop on the road at all. The jules aren’t that tire since there aren’t any burdens within the wagon, so the speed was very fast. And since I put a protective shield around the wagon and the two jules, whom I named Jily and July- there aren’t any monsters attack. Why? Because the shield cause all of us, even the wagon, to turn into invisible in their eyes, and erase our presences along with the sounds that we made as we travels.

    This was why I didn’t want the other party to come with me. They would just slow me down. And if they were with me, I won’t be able to use the invisibility spells. Costing both times and patient.

    We rest midway through, at a village called Corles Village.

    Corles Village was a small, one hundred household village, with a village chef, five normal guards, and a watch tower. The watch towers were watch towers that the Adventurer made in every villages as a lookout for monsters. Of course, nowaday, a lot of the towers were already destroyed. The only reason why this out-of-nowhere village’s tower was left intact was the fact that there was a large moat around the villages.

    Except that this moat was filled with freezing spikes made out of poison... Yeah, now I know why this village is safe even now.

    I buy foods for the Jily and July as we rest in the village for the night. Afterward, we left early in the morning.

    On our way, I found a couple of fruits trees that are pretty interesting in both taste and looks. Of course, I only pick the ones that look adorable and taste good. There’s one tree in particular that look like a branch of red bells, it taste was very similar to lychee mixed with mangosteen, so I took out the whole tree along with the roots with me. Afterward, I plants tens of it’s seeds in that area and used magic to accelerated it to full maturity.

    I repeated that on fruits trees that I found to my liking.

    By the time that I made it to the town closest to the Northern Mountain Range, a week had already passed by.

    It was very boring. If not because I was studying the new plants that I acquired, I would had quiet already. What? So what if I have a unnatural interests in plants?!

    Do you know how bored I am? Researching was the only things left that interests me so I am naturally going to inspects every plants that gain my interest.

    Due to my... extremity of lucks, it was both a curse and a blessing for me, so the things that I had interests in don’t last long. Passion can only last so long before it turns into something natural.

    So, yeah, since then, I was constantly bored. Nearly to death.

    Oh? Was that the rumor Northern Mountain Range? Man, it’s high!

    I can’t even see the top of it even with my eyesight!

    “Bel-chan, examine the height of this mountain range in front of me,”

    [Yes, Master]

    Northern[Asura’s Frost] Mountain Range
    Height: 180,000 meters
    Monsters Reside: Ice elements Monsters 50%, Mutated Beast 20%, Wild Beast 15%, Savage Beast 10%, others 5%
    Levels: 60+
    Boss(es): The Ice King, The Frost Daemonoid, Mutated Fox, Clan of the Mutes, Savage Facons, Ice Frost Boa, Frost Poison Frogs
    Dungeons: The Snow Towers, Icebergia’s Tower, Cave of the Death Frost
    Population Estimates: 160,360,000,000
    Habitals Area: Mountain 50%, Snow 40%, Ice Element Lake 10%

    Okay... So, this mountain range was really called Asura’s Frost, and there are three freaking damn dungeons? The fuck? How was it that the people living here can survived for this long?

    And a stagnant amount of 160 billions monsters? Damn, the majority of them were all ice elements monsters, beast, savage beast, and all. Luckily, there was no magic beast. Otherwise, yeah, the humans living near here wouldn’t be able to survive.

    “Bel-chan, Show me the area where the lakes are and the numbers of ice elements fishes,”

    [Yes, Master]

    A large map about the size of Texas was shown to me. On the map, 15 areas where marked with a yellow circle, along with a couple of numbers on top. The numbers shows how many fishes were in the lake, what kinds of fishes it was, and the average size.

    Hmm, the nearest ones was the smallest lake. And then the nearest town, ColdFrozen Frost Fortress, was about half a day away from here. Okay, let’s head toward ColdFrozen Frost Fortress so that Jily and July can stay there while I go gather/fish them and kill all the monsters listed on the quests that I accepted.

    The Frozen Frost Fortress was built half buried underground to prevent being overrun by monsters.

    When I came near to the edge of the fortress, I cancel the invisible spell on us and continue on ward. But before that, I filled up the wagons with all kind of furs, thick clothes, fabrics, and cold resisted things. Along with a lot of flours, spices, and southern goods.

    At the sight of a tall, white, tower, I knew right away that it was the Watch Tower. This make this fortress looks very solemn and cold, not homely at all. Well, what can the people here do? This was to protects their homes so looks aren’t really apart of what they had in mind when they were building it.

    There was ten guards at the gates with Fire Elements weapons, stopping me.

    “Hello, Do you have your Card?” The guard asked. I nodded as I handed them my Adventurer’s Card and Commerce Card to them.

    The guard take my card and place them under the Analysis Stone to verified my cards.

    “What?!” The guards who were confirming my cards shouted in a loud voice as he seen my success rate for quests along with my ranked.

    “E-excuse me, Master Shirin!” The guards expression turns respectfully and not as dull as before. He bow to me as he handed my my cards back.

    I nodded, completely ignoring the looks the guards give me. I handed him the fees for the entrance and another two large silvers coins for him to share with the rest of the guards.

    “Thank you, Master Shirin!” The guards all looks thankful.

    Since there was no one here at the gate asides from me and the guards, I didn’t rush into the city.

    “How was the situations here nowaday?” I asked, trying to gather some information.

    The guards then told me about the current situations of the fortress, what inn to go to, where to go get something, where to sold my things, etc.etc.

    Wow, I asked one question, and they give me about ten years’s worth of information....

    “Thanks for the info. Here, since it’s cold, have these. Share them among yourself. Try not to get sick, okay?” I said as I passed them some of my fire element sake, the soft and long term ones. It’s not strong in term of alcoholic but the fire element within the sake was very good for all kind of body, and it isn’t harmful for the bodies.

    Since I didn’t make a lot, I can only give the guards two bottles for them to share.

    “One mouthful will last seven hours, do not drink more than two mouthful within a day, or your inside will make you feel like you are being cooked alive.” I warned as I went inside the fortress.

    “Yes, Master Shirin!” The guards all bow at me.

    Although, they all have a puzzle expression on their faces.

    One of the guard, the first one to speak to me, gulped and opened the bottle to take a small sip.

    I can hear the gasping breath of the guard but I ignored it as I continue on.


    Chapter 12: Frozen Frost Fortress
    First, the inn that the guards recommended was called Home of the Fire. I went there first and rent a room along with a stable for Jily and July. The inn itself wasn’t that large but it was warm and clean so that’s good enough for me.

    Since I wasn’t really using the room, I just rented the stable for Jily and July at the cost of 4 small silver coins for a week. Since their feeds were provided by me, the workers who looked after Jily and July were thankful.

    “Jily, July, don’t cause trouble. Understand? These two human here will be feeding you for the week so don’t intimidates them, okay?” I coldly said to the two monsters. Both nervously dipped their heads in understanding. Causing the two workers that was standing near the stable to look surprise.

    I introduce the two human that were supposed to look after them. I left the feeds for the workers to store into the storage behind the inn. Afterward, I drive Jily and July to the Commerce Guild in this fortress to sell the things inside the wagon.

    We passed by another inn called “Snow Inn”, a large restaurant that was near packed, two large building that should had been the government building- as the city hall, the orphan house, which has around 5 kids only, who were already old enough to work for themselves. This town, fortress, was very small. There was only about 14,000 or so household. And majority of the households were underground, where there are fire stones brought by the city lord.

    The Commerce guild in this fortress was very small. So, they don’t have enough hard cash on them to pay me for all the things that I brought here. But that’s fine, I have my commerce guild card so they will just pay it toward my card using the commerce guild’s payment system.

    “Thank you, Shirin-sama. Please come again,” The guild master said thankfully with his eyes in tears. His youngest child was one of the children that they were trying to save so my medicines, clothes, fur and stuffs was like, god-sent.

    The situations here was this: The people in this fortress had lost 15 kids due to coldness and lack of warm clothes. So, with the fur and cold resistance fabrics that I brought? Yeah, it was heavenly sent. Each years, if the number of childrens that the people here lost were lower than 15, then that would had been the normal... but, right now was not even Autumn yet and they had already lost 15 children. So, people were panicking and trying to save all the childrens that they could.

    ... My lucks... Yeah.... Let’s not go there. As much as the lucks make me life easier, it is also bring in a lot of dangerous to both me and other people. If I keep thinking about it then my alter ego will do something to the lucks and turned it into something evil. That, I don’t want.

    Leaving behind the fortress, I went out through the gates, causing the guards from this morning to saluted me... which was... what the hell?

    Well, whatever.

    Let’s see, the maps shows that the lake are to the east of here, about 15km away. Okay, let’s go.

    I place my hand into the ground-snow, and started to draw a symbol, using Mana Symbology Technique This is a branch for inscriptions, but use less mana, more knowledge, and the ability to read symbols.

    A circle with stars and symbols intersects formed on the ground. The next second, as I pour in mana, the symbols shine for a nanosecond and a large white fox with blue eyes appeared.

    “Hello, Little White.” I pat the large white fox as it purred against me.

    I got on to the back of Little White, one of my Summon contracts that I had since my first world. I am quite fond of him. Ridding Little White, we went straight to the lake without stopping.

    When I get there, Little White stopped right next to the lake. She drop me off as she went off to hunts for herself. It has been a while since I summoned her to the physical world. So, she’s very excited to go play by herself.

    It’s fine. Little White, or her real named Xiria LaWhite, is very strong. What’s her level? You want to know?

    Sure, why not.

    Now you see? Little White is strong. She’s not my strongest summon contractors but she’s obedience, doesn’t cause trouble for me, and are not as dark as the other ones when it comes to personality. Not only that, but he’s also more dependent and doesn’t want me to give him a lot of my attentions. My other contractors were very possessive of me so they would always compete to get my attention. And, I have a lot of summoning contracts animals/beast/monsters/etc.

    A lot.

    Most of them are sociopaths, kin-murderer, mental-pathy monsters that would love to wash the world in blood but they are mine so I am also very possessive of them too.

    Little White wasn’t known as the Wind of Whispered because he can hear voices from the wind. No, he was called that because he’s very presences will cause human, animal, beast, or demon, otherwise into seeing illusion. And it wasn’t a kind illusion too.

    Those illusion aren’t the kind of madness that normal would think of. Insanity. Depravation. That kind. No, all of my summoned monsters/contractors were all above what I would called insane and depraved. No, they are simply Sinned and Blank.

    Little White, before being contracted to me, was a Half Wolf half Angel. He represents the Blankness and Darkness of the world that she originate from. She had destroyed four world by erasing everything within it with her illusions. Causing those worlds to be Blank. No animals, no plants, no water, no human, and no lives. The planets itself was intact but that’s only because as a half angel and half wolf with the air element, she can’t do anything to the world’s core, which was made of Earth elemental, Water Elemental, and Plant elemental magic. As a Air Magic Master and a Depraved Monsters, Little White can’t do anything against the world’s core.

    By the time that I first met him, Little White was already level 99. Of course, contracting me boost his level up to 115. And afterward, we traveled together in other worlds along with my other contractors. Scaring the living daylight out of all kinds of gods and goddess.

    He then gains a clearer understanding of himself, his mentality, and his control over his power. Since then, Little White hasn’t lost control over his illusion powers again. That was mainly because I had stabilized his mind, soul, and his emotions. Not only that, I had also restricted his illusions by more than 80%. So, while he can still use Illusions to kill, prison, and defense against attacks, it wasn’t enough to Blanked a whole world.

    Being up here in the North, where it's this cold, was a perfect place for Little White to have some fun. Despite being so powerful, as the only beast among my contractors with the ability to use illusions was a lonesome thing.

    So, whenever I can, I will summoned her out to play.

    Let see, oh? I didn’t think that these ice elemental fishes were this huge!

    This is a fucking damn whale, isn’t it?!

    That’s not a fucking damn salmon!

    The salmons in this lake have a slightly different color compared to the atlantic salmon or the pacific salmon that I had in my internal space. It’s color was more blue, and slightly silver.

    It’s head was totally white with its eyes were clearly dark blue, like a gem. The stripes varies from light red to dark blue, to white or silver. Even though, this lake was a freshwater lake, all of the salmon keep changing their color from one to another, from red to dark blue and from white to silver when they came near to the surface.

    Well, it looks like a salmon but the size is... humongous. I had thought that base on the map size, the lake wouldn’t be this huge, but... it seems that I still underestimate this world too much. This kind of thinking, I have to erase it.

    Taking a big breath and let go of my prejudice about this world go. Good, this will cause me to to acknowledge this world with prejudice eyes. Prejudgment is good and all but it would be a mistake on my part to believe in it without experiencing it myself.

    This lake, which was labeled “Cold Mist Lake” by Bel-chan, was huge. According to Bel-chan’s information chart, Cold Mist Lake was about 53,500 sq.miles across on the surface. It’s size, shapes, and dimension were like a large bowl that look like a sphere jar. It was about 10,000 meters deep. It was larger and wider than Lake Michigan and Huron combined, in America.

    Lake Michigan-Huron was only about 281 meters deeps while this lake, Cold Mist lake, the smallest lake in the Northern Mountain Range, was already 10,000 meters deep. Well, damn.

    Sighing out loud, I started to walk over the surface of the lake.

    The water temperature was cold, well below freezing point. It is about negative 20 degree Celsius, or about negative 5 degree Fahrenheit. It is far too cold for normal fish. Not only does this fresh water lake have an Ice-Elements infused within the lake floor, it also have a lot of water elemental gems. I can feel it.

    Oh, a salmon is coming closer to me.

    Smirking internally, I used my telekinesis power, or in my case, this power of mine was more of a universal force manipulation, to move the salmon up to the air, without even alerting the salmon that he or she’s not in the water anymore.

    What the hell? Why is this huge fish so adorable?

    Whizz...

    The Salmon played in the air without even caring about me...

    Yep. This fish was slightly above average when it comes to adorableness.

    ... This one is a female. And she’s pregnant. Oi oi!!! What are you doing?!

    You’re getting birth to your eggs right now?!!! What the fuck?!

    Ah! Careful! The eggs! Damn it!

    I opened the door to my Internal World Spaceas the eggs drops into one of the many lakes inside. The ones that I specifically opened the door to was for small freshwater fishes, which are looked after by a AI robots that are more skeletal than metal.

    Huff... This damn salmon scared the shit out of me for suddenly giving birth to her eggs!

    Wheez~!

    Wheez~ my ass! Don’t you wheeing me!

    Hmph! Throwing the salmon back to the lake, I went to the next spot. What? Salmon that just give births does not taste good!

    Oh? The salmon in this world was also a schooling kind? That was a huge school of salmons though. I would only take 30% of them. That’s already 36 adults salmon. I don’t know if this was a good thing or not but this group of salmon was very small.

    Oh, there’s the next group. That’s a huge school of salmon right there. Taking about half of them should be okay. That’s already 500 of them. So, in total, now I have 536 ice salmon. Since the salmon were so passive that they didn’t even run away even when half of them are gone, I have to go look for another group. After all, I am not planning on going a killing spree on them. And I only chose those that are adults but isn’t pregnant. I leave all the pregnant ones alone.

    Oh? Frosty Bass? There’s also schools of them too. Okay, I am going to go around, gathering a couple from each schools of fishes.

    By the time that I went around all the schools, I had already gathered more than 3,000 Ice Salmon and 135 Frosty Bass.

    While I was gathering the fishes, I was also singing. The songs that I had was from all sort of worlds that I been through, so there are a lot. The majority of them are in English, thought. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t other languages song. In fact, I have songs from all over the world. From all kind of world.

    For example, as I am feeling cheerful and a bit mischievous now, I took out my musical players that I made and play the playlist that was titled “Dance to the Beats”.

    I moving my butts, shaking my head, my hips, and my whole body to the beats. Ever heard of the song Échame la Culpa by Luis Fonsi and Demi Lovato? Or Zombie by Bad Wolves? The songs that I had were all over the place but one thing they have in common was the fact that there are memorable and meaningful.

    Like this song, for example.

    I know the feeling
    Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
    And there ain't no healing
    From cuttin' yourself with the jagged edge
    I'm tellin' you that it's never that bad
    And take it from someone who's been where your at
    You're laid out on the floor and you're not sure
    You can take this anymore

    So just give it one more try
    With a lullaby
    And turn this up on the radio
    If you can hear me now
    I'm reachin' out to let you know
    That you're not alone
    And you can't tell, I'm scared as hell
    'Cause I can't get you on the telephone
    So just close your eyes
    Well honey here comes a lullaby
    Your very own lullaby
    Please let me take you
    Out of the darkness and into the light
    'Cause I have faith in you
    That you're gonna make it through another night
    Stop thinkin' about the easy way out
    There's no need to go and blow the candle out
    Because you're not done, you're far too young
    And the best is yet to come
    .....

    Lullaby By Nickelback.

    Or this song,

    You must think that I'm stupid
    You must think that I'm a fool
    You must think that I'm new to this
    But I have seen this all before

    I'm never gonna let you close to me
    Even though you mean the most to me
    'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
    So I'm never gonna get too close to you
    Even when I mean the most to you
    In case you go and leave me in the dirt
    .....
    'Cause every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
    And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
    And every time you walk out, the less I love you
    Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true
    I'm way too good at goodbyes

    Too Good at Goodbye by Sam Smith.

    As I continue to sings, I also continue to levitates/use telekinesis on the fishes that I want. Since I didn’t actually killed them before placing them inside the Storage Backpacks that I bought along with me, I had to knocked the fishes unconscious before placing them inside the storage backpacks.

    What? Yes, you cannot place living thing inside the Storage Backpack. However, since I froze the life-stream of the fishes and knocked them unconscious so that their life won’t emitted out any mana, which was what cause them to being unable to get inside the storage backpacks from the Adventurer’s Guild.

    When I stopped gathering anymore fishes from Cold Mist lake, I called Little White and moved on to the next lake, which was called “Frosty Shades Lake”. This lake was larger compared to Cold Mist Lake but it’s depth was the same.

    The only differences was that there aren’t any ice salmon within this lake. There’s only Frosty Bass, freshwater Rainbow Tuna, and Frost Mackerel. There’s about 70% Frosty Bass, 10% Rainbow Tuna, and the rest are Frost Mackerel within this lake.

    Hmmm... How much Frosty Bass do I need to gather again?

    10 for Lady Luciana, out of the 100 Frosty Bass total.

    As I already got all the required among of Frosty Bass, now I wanted to gather some for myself.

    Let’s see, for myself, I want to get at least a thousand of each fishes... Including the Blue Seabeam.

    Okay, let’s go~!

    Ah, but before that, I am hunger. Let’s eat first.

    Since I haven’t try to use ice elemental fishes as sushi before, I will try to use them to make some sushi.

    I am pretty nervous, this will be a new recipes for me so I need to be careful.

    Taking out a cutting board from my internal space, a sharp sushi knife that I had uses before, a clean, damp kitchen towels that been in the mana water, and then two large trays. I put the ice salmon on the tray and took out a large marble kitchen table and place them on the ground.

    Okay, now the preparation is done.


    Chapter 13: Making Sushi with Ice Element Fishes
    Since the fishes are as fresh as they could be already. I don’t need to worry the freshness of the fish.

    In one movement, I separated the head from its body. And then cut the fins of the salmon and the thick middle scales off. All in one movement without stopping. According to the books from this world, the fins and scales from the ice salmon are good for alchemy so I am saving them.

    Hoh? The fresh of the ice salmon are very heavy for a fish. It’s like I am butchering a bow and not a fish. It is very dense and tight. This is the first time that I met a salmon who’s fresh are this heavy, tight, and dense. It feel like I am cutting through rocks and not fresh. Trying to fillet this ice salmon was harder than I thought. Even though the knife that I am using was top grade, and my strength wasn’t a joke, even thought there was no resistance once my knife go across the fresh, it was still pretty damn dense and tight.

    Ah, this isn’t good. My stomach is grumbling for it. Fufufufu, it seems like this ice salmon is edible.

    My hand move even more faster now that my stomach deem this fish edible for sushi. I took out a large wooden bowl made from a tree called the Ice Gem Tree, and put some cold water inside it before placing the body of the ice salmon and wash it.

    The blood... it’s not red. It’s freaking damn blue. Since I cut it so fast that the fishes probably won’t even notice its fresh being cut off, the blood didn’t started to sipped out until I place the body under the water in the bowl to wash it.

    Hmm, I wonder if there’s any use for the blue blood of the ice salmon? Just in case, I am saving them.

    Wow... I know that the ice elemental fishes from this region does not have any natural predator but to think that they are this fats, this is first grade toro, all. Yeah, now I know why the fishes is this region was so damn expensive. Even though this fish was just a salmon and isn’t a tuna. The grade was already otoro by itself.

    Gulp.

    Ah, my saliva.

    No no no, stop it Shinichi. You can’t eat it yet. You have to finish preparing everything first!

    Resisting the temptation when I am hungry was no joke. This is a battle of will. And my Will is strong. Never had I said that my Will are weak.

    Okay, next is deboning! And then dividing it according to parts... Although, I don’t think it’s any use, all the parts are the same damn grade. Then deskinning by separating the skins of the salmon away from the fresh. Damn, here I thought that the descaling was harder than I thought, turns out hat separating the fresh away from the skin itself was even more harder. The last step, salting the fresh salmon. This is to get all the extra grime on the surface off and to make sure that the salmon stay fresh.

    I don’t know about you guys but I like to use the salt from inside my Internal World Spacewhen making sushi. After that, leaving it for 15 minutes and 20 second before washing off the salt on the fillet. The rest, was history as I lost my patient with the explanation.

    All I will say is this: I made a sashimi platter, two roll of different kinds, three maki rolls, two temaki roll, and enough different kind of pickled ginger. Truth to my stomach, I made all kind of recipes with salmon as the only fish. Since I already has everything else in my own internal space, all I really need was the ice salmon. Ah, I also made some dashimaki tamago to go with the sushi too.

    I made some for Little White too, which he loved it. Especially the raw salmon itself.

    Ahh, I’m full. I wonder what else could I make the salmon with? Well, asides from grilling it, steaming it, and making soup out of it. Well, that’s okay, there’s enough salmon recipes out there. I just have to modify it so that the ice element salmon won’t crashed into the recipe’s own theme and purposes.

    Now then, what should I do about dessert? Hm, the fruits that I picked up from the road would make be great as dessert. Maybe making ice cream out of that? Well, this area here was already so cold so ice cream wasn’t very good... so, how about baked fruits bars? Okay!

    “Awooo!” Little purrs as he sniffed the air.

    “Hmm? Don’t worry, Little White. The fruits bars are also ready. You just have to wait another two more minutes.” I said as I baked the fruit bars out in the opening using Fire, Wood, Earth, and Air elemental magic.

    The Fire was the heat to cooked the fruits. The wood are the fuel, so that it doesn’t go out since it was so cold here and the ground is very wet due to the snow. The Earth are to make sure that the snow doesn’t melt and cause the area to unfrozen. The Air was to make sure that the smell from the fruits doesn’t go around and only straight up to the sky.

    This way, no beast, monsters or otherwise would come here due to the smell. Not that I had any problem with it but still. I don’t want a bunch of monsters, beasts or otherwise to follow me because of me taming them using food.

    I already have far too many monsters, beast, or otherwise from other worlds that my Internal World Spacewas full of it. The “House of Beast” within Bel-chan was already numbered in the billions due to the amount of beasts/monsters or otherwise I have already. I Don’t Need Anymore.

    Continue on, the next lake was called White Fall Lake due to the natural snow trees surround it. It was very beautiful and solemn. The picture have a natural elegant, temper, call of purposes, atmosphere and beauty to it that I am tempted to draw it.

    Well, maybe I will. After I finished collecting the amount of fishes that I want.

    And then, I am going to go on a Japanese Food spree. Most of the food would be from what I eats when I went to Japan with my brother, to the Tsukiji Fish Market and the Nishiki Market in Kyoto.

    Ahhh! I wanna go back to Earth! Any timeline of Earth! I want Japanese Food!

    Mou~! If I can’t go back to Earth, any modern earth, then I can just bring them to this world! It won’t be the first time that I started a food evolution in a another world.

    What? How do you think that I got so rich? It’s all the food! It’s all the evolutions that I did in those world!

    Fuck this world’s world! I want Japanese Food! I want modern-future Japanese- Chinese- Korean- and Western Food!

    ....

    Sorry about that. Because the last world was a world that were in the middle of space, I didn’t get to eat enough Japanese food so I suddenly... erupted.
    *Cough* Cough*

    It can’t be help since my taste bud are truly spoil by myself.

    In my original timeline of the 36th century modern earth, the food culture had already went through a big evolutions into using real food to cook in anything that we eat. The drinks, the soft drinks, the soda, and those drink that have a lot of artificial taste in were banned by the government worldwide. So, by the time that I was born, such things was a thing of history already. So, you can say that after my second world, which wasn’t a world that I can take the time to evolves the foods cultural, I am more or less start getting pissed off about the foods that the other worlds has.

    Spending more than 50 years eating foods that aren’t cooked by myself was already enough to make my tongue cry. So, yeah, since it wasn’t like I have any purposes in any of the world that I went to, so the best I could do for my own selfishness was to evolve the food in those worlds that I been to previous.

    How else do you think I gain the Title “Chef of the World” along with all the similar Titles from? Obviously because of starting a food evolutionary in whatever world I went through, of course.

    It certainly wasn’t from doing nothing.

    So, yes, this world won’t be an exception either. Not if I have any said in them. Not that I care if other people continue to eat crappy food but I for one, don’t want to eat crappy food for sure so I will cooks for myself. Properly.

    And since I am starting a business, I might as well just open a restaurant instead.

    Okay, let’s do that.

    Continue on, I went thru the rest of the lakes and collected/gathered more than a thousand of each fishes, including the Blue Seabeam, which strangely was the smallest fish among the ice elemental fishes here.

    The difference between the Blue Seabeam here in this world to the ones that I know of, including from my original Earth, was that the Blue Seabeam here was smaller, longer and doesn’t have a lot of bones. It is more similar to a catfish rather than a seabeam.

    I already have ideas on what to make for the menu.

    It would be a bit different from other restaurant.

    The Menu would be base on the time. For example, in this world here, the Seven days of the weeks, aren’t called Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday but rather, it was named after flowers.

    For Monday, it was Dahlia Day, Tuesday goes by Lilies Days, Wednesday goes by Tulips Days, Thursday goes by Orchid Day, Friday goes by Gazania Day, Saturday is Rose Day or Rosa Day, and Sunday is Lotus Day.

    Dahlia Day(Monday) was the beginning day of every months. However, once every three years, a Red Orchid Day would happen due to the eclipse of this world’s three sun, leaving out the last sun to shine as a star. And once every two years, a Holy Lotus Day will happen. That day is when the three moon formed a triangle in the sky, causing the normal pink or purple lotus to turned bright orange or pure white for the whole day.

    That day, is what this world called the Holy Lotus Day.

    So, base on the day of the week, the week of the month, the menu would have different foods displayed for choosing.

    Dahlia Day’s menu would be different from Lilies Day’s menu. Of course, the breakfast would always be the same but the lunch and dinner menu aren’t.

    Let’s see, a somewhat traditional Western-Eastern breakfast would be okay. Hmm, for now, first set of breakfast would be bacon and egg sausage muffin with milk and a small cup of fruits. Since I plan on having at least four set of breakfast in western style, things like eggs, bread and soup would included in the breakfast menu. Things like egg soup, vegetable soup, and light soups that won’t be heavy on the stomach are considered to be in the menu.

    For Eastern breakfast style, Japanese style, Chinese Style, Korean Style, Taiwanese style, and Southern Asia styles like Thai, Laos, Vietnamese, and the likes were considered.

    Western styles were from the Europe region and from America. I guess one of the good thing about being through different variety of worlds was that I have a large variety choices of dishes that I can choice from.

    Okay! I can decided the Lunch and Dinner menu later. For now, let’s go back to the Frozen Frost Fortress.

    Checking the amount of fishes that I had obtained. I am satisfied for now.

    Ice Salmon: 45,300
    Frosty Bass: 20,000
    Rainbow Tuna: 15,000
    Frost Mackerel: 12,000
    Blue Seabeam: 9,000

    Hm, this should last me a couple of years. By then, my Internal World Spacewould had breeded enough of them to be used continuity without problem.

    I have experiences with opening restaurants from my previouses worlds so I didn’t stop to think it through. And since I will be using Bel-chan to help me make everything ahead of times, I don’t need to worry about working too hard. Unless it was cooking for myself, I won’t bother with the taste of the foods too much.

    And even if I don’t put a lot of effort into it, Bel-chan’s cooking stats and cooking level was only a level lower than mine. So, the taste would still be far higher than what the people of this world’s used to.

    Frozen Frost Fortress’s guards welcome me back with big and bright smiled on their face. Their face red from the heat of the drinks, yet not enough to cause them to sweat. Sweating in this kind of weather was not safe so the guards made sure that they aren’t sweating.

    When I came back to the Inn, the two helpers welcome me back with relief expressions on their faces. Jily and July had probably intimidated them with their aura even though I warned them not to. Well, what can they do? They aren't decile animal. They’re monster. It’s their natural instincts to intimidates weaker beings.

    “Wheeepesh!” The two Jules welcome me back.

    “I’m back, Jily and July. Did you two behave yourselves?” I asked, knowing that they didn’t do anything but still had scared the two poor workers. Not that I am any better since my own natural aura was already far scarier than the two monsters combined.

    “Whimm...” The two Jules bow their heads, trying to say, ‘Yes-we behave ourselves.’

    I patted the two Jules and took out two pieces of fillets Ice Salmon.

    “Here, you go.”

    Jily and July happily accepted the Ice salmon fillets.

    “Whee! Sheesh!” The two Jules happily munch on the ice salmon fillets.

    Oh? It is because the Jules were monsters too?

    Hm? What’s that? An blue aura? The two Jules are getting stronger? Oh? Their eyes color changes too. Before, it was light brown but now it was light orange.

    Jily and July are getting stronger!

    “Whee~!” Both Jules bow.

    A-re-re? Did I accidentally tamed these two monsters? Oi, I only rented you two! I didn’t want to buy you two, too!

    What would you do if your previous master sue me?!

    ... Not again.*Sigh*

    Groaning internally, I closed my eyes and took a deep breathe.

    Maa, there’s no helping it.

    Let’s prepare to go back.

    ... Prince Yui should already went home right?

    Let’s see.... Should I use Precognition or Premonition to see if Prince Yui went home already? Or should I just use Omniscience? That ability makes my senses overwhelm for a couple of seconds but at least, using this ability will have some percentage of guarantee that Prince Yui went back to the Capital already.

    Still, won’t that just mean that I am letting him know that I am peeking into his future?

    Oh well, it won’t be the first time that I did even if he found out. Besides, I limited the vision to be only for the next two weeks only, not of his lifetime.

    Okay!

    Omniscience... Let’s see, the spells for assessing the power...

    ... Okay, a total omniscience makes my brain hurts. Since I limited my knowledge for opening my vision this time to Prince Yui and his future only, I didn’t get overwhelm by the amount of informations that I got but, damn, does it hurts my brain.

    And no, he’s not going home.

    That damn Tian Yuanle! Why is he waiting for me at my own house?! Shouldn’t he be going home already?! And then he even said that if I am not coming home then he’s coming here?!

    Arggggg! That damn brat! (╬ Ò ‸ Ó)

    Fine! I’m coming home! Stop trying to scared those poor orphans already! And stop staring at Novelle! You’re scaring her!

    And stop calling me Shinichi in this world! Goddamnit!

    *sigh* Calm down me, this is just what would had happen if I stay here.

    Fine! I am coming back already!

    “Alright, let’s prepare so that we can go back today,” I said to the two Jules as I pat their head.

    Afterward, the preparing process was very fast.

    “Ah! Master Shirin-sama!”

    Hm? The guild master from the commercial guild? What does he want from me?

    “Leon-san, what’s wrong?” The old man was sweating due to running.

    “S-shirin-sama, a-are you leaving?” Asked the guild master with worried eyes.

    “Ah, you don’t need to worry, as I will be back often within a year. Ah, before that, could you show me the underground farms that you guys have?” I asked as I haven’t forgot about the cause of the what truly had killed the children ever since long ago.

    This fortress, Frozen Frost Fortress, had been surviving using the herbs, foods, vegetables, and plants grow ever since god knows when. If I probe into this problem, then yes, I would understand the problem but I didn’t need to. Why? Because I already know why.

    When I turned on my power using the skills that comes with being omnipotence with magic, I found out that the ground, the earth, that they were using to farm wasn’t normal.

    No, it seems like this whole region, the Northern Asura Mountain Range wasn’t normal, even for a magical world like this.

    No, it was never normal. The way how it form into a snow region when this location itself doesn’t have a mana pool, or that this location itself wasn’t even in the North when it comes to longitude and location on the planet. For example, on Earth, Ireland is in the Northern Pacific Ocean region so it is very cold. That much was a fact and understandable.

    However, this location, the so call Northern Mountain Range wasn’t even anywhere near the North Pole of this world. In fact, this location right here, was in the middle of the equator in this world.

    So, it have no reason to be called the Northern Mountain Range at all. It’s real name was called Norther Asura Range, named after the Mage of Ice called Asura Northern.

    And that man’s corpse was what made the earth, the soil, that this fortress stand on.

    Before, when the soil was rich with mana, even if his power had turned this region into an Ice Region, the farmer soil had produce a lot of good that’s very strong. If it was herbal plant that growth here were used in potion making then it would require only 1/10 of the required portion, and that doesn’t apply to only that.

    That’s right, the people in this region had relied on the land far too much. The burden they had place on the land without developing their agricultural technology had cause the mana within the land to bleed off slowly over time. So, now, the magic within the land was nearly non-existent.

    As a result, for the past hundred of years, the land’s yield was not as strong as it used to be.

    For a Fortress City that have no connection to merchants due to their previous view of ‘We already have that. We don’t need anything from you merchants!’ sort of way, this was the results.

    Not only does this fortress located in a region that’s cold year round, where ice elemental monsters of all kinds resides in, it was also far away from other human city or town, too.

    So, their behaviors of not making connection to other towns or city and their innate suspicious nature that always look at everyone else not native as thieves had cause all the merchant to stop coming here.

    The towns nearest to here also stopped coming so for the past 50 years, I was the first merchant to came by.

    When the guild master successful led I to the underground farm place, my first thought upon the sight was “What the hell is with this place?”

    It was completely dried up. What the hell? How have they been taking care of the land?!

    *Sigh*

    I know from the land’s memories that they didn’t know how to take care of the soil but to thank that it was this dried up.

    ... How are they going to restore the land when it’s this bad? This would take at least 20 low-purification spells, 20 Natural-Earthen Restoration Spells, and 12 mid-level Water-Spring spells. In another word, this would take at least 50 mid-tier level magician who have those spells to restore the land.

    ... Where in the world would you find those 50 mid-tier level, who can used those spells, and was willing to use that much mana to restore this land? Asides from me and Prince Yui, who else in this world might be able to use mana like this without thinking?

    Mana deficiency aren’t a joke in this world. Do you know how many people had died from mana deficiency and from overestimating themselves? Unlike me who’s mana regeneration rates are so high that it takes seconds for it to fully refilled again, and from Prince Yui, who’s a god in hiding his powers in the form of a human, who else wouldn’t die from mana deficiency?

    No. There are a couple of people like that who’s currently alive today but they aren’t anywhere near this part of the world. One is in the capital, two in the far south Country in the Themossis Continent, one in Amanto Empire, two are in the Moltenils Continent and the last three are Daemon. However... Yeah, which one of those people would help out this little fortress city?

    The answer is NONE.

    None of them would help this city.

    And I won’t either. Not only does it not going to help, doing so would only make the people in this city getting more and more spoil. They are just getting more and more useless without learning how to get over obstacles. Even if fate might had lead me to this town, that doesn’t mean that I am that kind to help them.

    I am not a kind person so I won’t help if I didn’t care.

    And to be completely honest, I don’t give a damn.

    Beside, even if I did nothing, soon enough, someone would come to this cold town and change the internal problem here. Changing the attitude, the aptitude, the conflicts, the thinking, the views, and everything.

    Right now, this town isn’t a town that I would come to like. However, soon, it would change.

    So, for now, I would do a little bit of service by freezing the time of this land. However, only for 3 months at most. Otherwise, this will cause a lot of problems for this world.

    After all, I don’t want to turned this land into a dungeon or maz by accident.

    Hahahahahahaha... Recalling my bad experiences with creating dungeons and mazes, hahahahaha... I’m not smiling.

    Nope, not at all. I’m not remembering anything. Lalalalalala.

    “This is very bad.” Was all I said out loud to the guild’s master.

    The man bow his head in shame.

    “Well, I guess I could transported some of my produces from my farm here. “Will you help me hire ten workers who are able to read, write, do math, loyal and trustworthy? Two of them could be guards, one will be the manager, and the rest will be workers. The payment will be... hmm, let’s see, how about 40 coppers per days? The detail are in this sheet. And they must vowed an oath if they wanted to work in my store,” I said as I handed him one of my already filled work requirement paper that have the mission statement, the purposes, the requirement, and the moral obligations tie to the position.

    “E-eh?” The guild master look both hopeful and yet fearful at the same time.

    “What? Didn’t you want me to continue to come here?” I asked with a slight tilt of my head. I didn’t want to scared this guy so I did try to make sure that my aura stay completely still and non-fruncture.

    “Y-Yes! Please!” Oi, don’t cry. You’re an old man already!

    “I will get it ready as fast as I can!” Wait! I’m not finished yet!

    Ah, he’s gone already.

    Sigh. What’s with the impatient? For a guild master to be this impatient, will this guild be okay?

    Well, whatever.

    Chapter 14: Setting up a Bakery
    Watching the guild master went away to set up whatever it was that he thinks he needs to do, I have to say that this was a bit too convenient. Well, what am I expecting? This is what it mean to be so lucky that luck itself have another meaning. If only... No, stop it, Shinichi, you cannot continue that thought.

    Shaking my head mentally, I proceed to examine the ground to see which spells would work best. Which spells wouldn’t be examinable for that person.

    I then freeze the time on the ground using a couple stealth spells that would hide which spells it was in the surface, making it impossible to use this land now but was also stopping the declining of the farm land itself. Since I am going to be sending my fruits and foods from my farms, I don’t see why I shouldn’t freeze this land up. Although, I guess I can just restore the land since I can, but... Nah.

    Too much troublesome.

    Since I don’t plan on being the city lord of this city, I won’t. It’s too problematic if I restore the land and vanished afterward. I won’t give Prince Yui a reason to restrain me into this Kingdom.

    Next, the guild master had me wait for a couple hours so I took Jily and July around the city, as wagon puller, to sells things.

    Sell what?

    Alcohol, water, spring water, juices, fruits, salt, sugar, flours (wheat/Rye/Corn/Potato), and Fabrics made from cotton, wool, and leather.

    Honestly, I want to take out the polyester fleece and some of the man-made fibers but... considering that I don’t have my own line of product in this world, I didn’t. I didn’t even have a store of my own yet. Something that’s going to change soon.

    After three hours, the store that the guild master chosen for me was set up.

    .... It was a old bakery shop.

    *Sigh*... My luck... Yeah...

    This is a four storey wood-stone-bricks house that’s a bit taller than the rowhouse found in Italy, Earth. Since this fortress was built half-underground, all the houses here was all more or less, built to be like row houses. Except that there are more spaces between each houses. Including all the roads, streets, monuments, buildings, and temples, Frozen Frost Fortress was literally a fortress city. Do you know how Palmanova, the fortress city in the 16th century Italy looks like? Frozen Frost Fortress City was exactly build like that, except with more row houses and less road, along with half of it being underground rather than in the surface. And yes, there is that huge moats around it. So, a Fortress City.

    The first floor was totally ‘demolished’, the second floors need to be fix, the third floor need a new floor, and the top floor need a new roof. In another word, this house was a rag. The guildmaster was probably hoping to help me fix this building up so that I could own him a favor but... I don’t need his help.

    I can do the rest myself.

    I signed the paperwork, clean the shop, renovates what needs to be, fix what needs to be fix and throw away what I don’t like.

    In the end, it was like a brand new shop was built there again. All in one hours. Much to the shock of the guildmaster...

    The cookery fireplaces that this place has was taken out and throw away. I made three new stone oven that works both as a stoves and an oven. I also took out a couple of my cookery tools and equipments. I also built couples of cabinets into the wooden walls, a large storage area underneath the floor for storing milks, liquid, and the likes.

    The ten workers that the guild master found was... not to my standard so I only hired three of them.

    First, the manager(male). Second, the waitress (female) who have experience with being one. Third, a guard. Well, an ex-mercenary turned guard. The manager was named “Alex”, the waitress was named “Sandra”, and the guard was called Thomas.

    All three of them are hired. Why? Because of their title: Royal Worker.

    The rest, nah. I can smell conspiracy/trouble from miles away with those people.

    Afterward, I show them what is currently on the menu. Since this was a bakery shop. I made a whole bunch of different breads with Bel-chan beforehand to be sold.

    There’s bagel, white bread, toast-bread, Challah bread, Rye Bread, Baguette, Multigrain bread, Italian bread, cornbread, croissant, flatbread, corn tortilla, damper bread, breadsticks with cheese inside, potato bread, bun/mantou, whole wheat bread, crackers, French Bread, Swiss Roll Bread, buns of all kinds, and dinner rolls.

    I had Bel-chan made them in large quantity and put them in the time-freeze cabinets inside the kitchen area. All Alex and Sandra have to do was take them out per the quota each day to sold. Once they ran out, I will be notified via the spell that I augmented into the cabinets. Once that happened, I will sent a couple of my familiar with the next month’s bread here.

    I made sure to notified the city lord, the guild master, Alex and Sandra which familiar of mine I will be sending once the bread was all sold out, there shouldn’t be any problem.

    For now, since there aren’t a bakery chef, I will only sell bread like this. That’s fine though as all of the bread are fresh.

    This Bakery was named “Shirin’s Bakery and Milk”.

    The Milk parts was for selling the juices and milks.

    Milk? What milk? The milk produces in my internal space. I have far too much milk accumulated up in my Internal World Spacethat it needs to be moved into my Inventory, so I decided to sell them here instead.

    For very cheap. A bottle of two liters of milk was 3 copper coin.

    As for the bread, it has three sizes of various kind of breads so the price was base on it. A ‘Small’ loaf of the normal bread was 10 copper coin, a “mid” size loaf of normal bread was 13 copper coin, and the large size loaf bread was 15 copper coin each. As for the other bread, such as croissant swiss roll bread, dinner rolls, french bread, and the more ‘softer’ bread, they cost a couple more copper coins but not much.

    For example, there is a selection of Sandwich breads that are only sold in the early morning from 7 A.M to 8 A.M.

    The seven selection of sandwich breads were: Honey-Oat bread that’s soft and spongy with a slight sweetness. There’s raisin bread, blueberry bread, cinnamon bread, white herbal bread, green tea bread, and Japanese purple sweet potato bread(Yam).

    Since the selection was limited only once per week, it was guarantee to be famous.

    Since I had decided to set up a shop here in this snow city, obviously I will make sure that this shop is successful even if I am not here.

    So, I decided to stay one more night and will set out tomorrow instead.

    The store was opened not even 3 hours after I hired the three people.

    It might be because of the guild master, who’s name I never bother to know, or it might be because of the inn. It didn’t even take a hour for the customers to come running in.

    Inside the bakery itself, there’s 9 selves total that are for breads only. Three are out in the open, where the normal breads are displayed along with the price tags. The rest are behind the counter. Right next to the counter, was a small sample dishes that have all the bread from behind the counter. The customers can have a taste of the bread sample and decided it they want to buy the loaf ones.

    Of course, the majority of the customer only brought the cheaper breads loaves. Why? Because they were far too hungry.

    They also brought the milk too. Since it was inside the Bamboo stalk, it was very warm just like it just came out of the cow.

    To my surprise, they buys more milk and less bread when it comes to quantity.

    Hmm, if they are buying more milk rather than bread... Oh.

    Oh.

    “Master, there’s no more milk bottle left,” Sandra said with a bewild look on her face.

    Sandra was the only person who’s out in the counter with me. In front of me, there was a line of customers all the way out. I don’t want to know how many customers there are currently outside but I guess I will have to.

    “Go ask Alex to ask the people outside. I want to know how many people are here to buy milks and how many people who will buy breads,” I said to sandra as I went back into the kitchen area. While she did as I asked, I went back to the kitchen, after making sure that there was no spy or so, I took out another 10,000 bottle(bamboo bottle-stalks) and put them into the space-augmented cabinets.

    Since Symbology was a profession in this world, augmenting was not something new. Only, my level of augmentation was a little far too high and ancient.

    Most people might think that the cabinet are enchanted to have a larger space inside but if masters like that certain someone that is coming to this world, he would notice right away that this is a high level Symbology-mixed with Augmentment and Inscription. Well, of course, after he learns them first.

    “!” A small gasped came from behind me.

    “What?” What’s causing Sandra to look that bewild and shock?

    “...Master, you.. Smile... So beautiful,” She replied as her cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

    What? Ah... I must’ve had smile because I was thinking of the man that’s coming to this world.

    What beautiful?

    Ah. Sandra, you shouldn’t look at me like that. There’s a certain prince that’s twitching in anger right now.

    My eyes narrow and my aura slightly twitch in response to Prince Yui’s twitching anger. Even when I am all the way over here, I could somehow tell that Prince Yui’s mood was not good.

    Ah, that man was still so damn possessive.

    “I’m so sorry!” Sandra said as she left the kitchen so fast that I can see her tails. That’s right. Sandra’s a dog-demi-human girl. Both Alex and Thomas are human but Sandra is a demi-human.

    I ignored her and continue on what I am doing.

    Taking out a large wooden barrel that can hold up to about 15 gallons worth of liquid, I make a hole on the side of the barrel and put a valve into the hole. This way, I can just pour the milk from the barrel into the bamboo bottle for refilling.

    Next, I filled up the barrel with warm milk and closed the top.

    I took the whole barrel with me to the counter and place it behind me. I ignored the gawking looks from the surrounding people and write the price of the milk into the barrel.

    2 Liters of Milk is 3 copper coin. Limited 5 Liters per person.
    If buying with three loaves of bread, give one cup free.

    “...” Everyone’s eyes were wide open in shocks and bewilderment.

    Yep, it’s time for me to kick people’s common sense to hell.

    “I-I will take 5 liters of milk and three loaves of bread please!” A young, tired-looking, lady said with her face flushed in happiness and hope.

    “Please choose your three loaves of bread,” I said as I turn around and take out one of the wooden mugs that I had inside the cabinets beneath the counter.

    “Please note that the wooden mugs cost 5 copper coins after your first one. The first wooden mug for the first 100 customers are free. However, afterward, if you don’t bring your own container than there will be a charge of 3 copper coin for small wooden mug, 4 copper coin for middle size wooden mug, and 5 copper coins for the large 5 liters mugs.” I said as I input some mana into my voice, causing my voice to travels to all the people outside.

    The price for the wooden mugs were the market price set in this town so no one complain. And no one wanted to complain anyway, since the wooden mugs that I took out was far better than the ones made in this city. Due to lack of lumber resources, things like wooden mugs was very expensive in this city, so the price that I set up was easily acceptable.

    The next hour went by so fast that Sandra start sweating and nearly panic. Alex was the one that take the money from the customers while sandra bagged the items up.

    For now, only the first floor of this shop was use so it was very crowded. The second floor was for the office, where the cabinets with the paperworks documents the earning everyday. The third and fourth storey serves as the boarding rooms for Alex, Thomas and Sandra. Since Alex have a wife, they moved to the third floor, leaving the fourth floor for Thomas and Sandra to live.

    As for personal privacy? Sandra and Thomas are brothers and sister so I have no worry about that front. And Alex have his wife, Manda, with him. By the way, Manda was currently pregnant so the man was near tears when I had accepted him to work in the shop. Why? Because as employee of the shop, they got two liters of milk everyday for free, along with their own salary.

    For the rest of the day, the store was so busy that none of us got any break. Since Sandra have less stamina, Thomas have to stop guarding the door and come help us. I doubt that there will be trouble but I hired Thomas as a guard anyway.

    But from today onward, Thomas will have to work as a cashier too. Why? Because from now on, that’s also his job since I am leaving tomorrow morning. They will have to take care of everything in this city from now on. I will be coming back here but only once other years, only. I will instead send my familiar here to restocks the breads so I don’t need to come here myself. As for the milk, I will just put a transfering teleport augments inscription onto the barrels so directly deposited the milk into the barrel itself. Bel-chan can take of that front, I don’t need to manage it.

    For the juices, I will also include that with my familiar. This is the only shop that I planned on opening here in this fortress City. At least, until that man comes to this world and into this city. Until then, I don’t see why I should do anything else.

    This city would has to have it’s own troublesome needs so that when he come here, he will have goals that he needs to do. A purpose and goals. If I fixes all the needs here in this city, then when he come, he won’t have anything left to do. And that, will make him very depressed instead. Something which I don’t want to happen.

    After all, that man is someone I know about very well.

    I just hope that the other man will soon follow him.

    Who am I talking about?

    My two older brothers.

    Well. Their souls, at least. Wanna know more about them? Well, you will have to wait and see for yourself.

    The Bakery was opened until sunset at 8pm tonight since it was the first day that it’s opened. However, from now on, the Bakery will only be opening from 8am in the morning until 6pm in the evening. The schedules are like that for 5 days a week, with Rosa Day and Lotus Day being opened from 10am to 4pm.

    That night, I didn’t sleep at all. Instead, I took out a couple normal, ordinary, oak plank and cut then into small plates with numbers on it.

    Since today alone, there was more than 500 customers who came into the Bakery, I was thinking that it would be a great idea to get a number plate like this so that it would be faster to serve the customers.

    The wooden plates were all inscripted with mana so it will automatically record which bread they want, how many, and what’s the cost will be.

    For example, two loaves of white bread would cost 6 coppers coin, 2 liters of milk would cost 3 copper coins, 1 small jar of orange juice is 3 copper coins. Total would be 12 coppers coin.

    It works exactly like how a recipe would work on Earth. This way, if needs to be, it would be easier for the workers to count and cash the money. I was tempt to make a Invoice-Cash-Register Magic Tool but since none of the three workers were able to use magic, I didn’t.

    After all, a magic tool was only a magic tool if the person can use magic to turn the tool’s functions on.

    I guess that I will have to make a cash register that won’t use magic to power. However, I will not make one right now. Why? Because the Emperor of this Kingdom, along with the four other nearby Kingdom, had already talks about changing the currency system and how much it’s worth, to effect this whole Kingdom and the other two Kingdoms.

    Let’s see. According to my power that I use to peek into this world’s future development, the Emperor had already implement this new laws and system. It’s just that Karnosh City was a bit far away from the Capital Cities so it will takes some times for the new law and system to take effect.

    So, instead of having the Copper Coin, Small Silver, Large Silver, Small Gold, Large Gold, Platinum Coin, and Magic Essence coin, it would changes to this, instead;

    Small Copper Coin, Medium Copper Coin, Big Copper Coin, Small Silver Coin, Medium Silver Coin, Big Silver Coin, Small Gold Coin, Medium Gold Coin, Big Gold Coin, Small White Gold Coin, Medium White Gold Coin, Big White Gold Coin, Platinum Gold Coin, and then lastly, Magic Essence Coin.

    Each coin will be counted as a piece called Suit (Pronounce Suis with the symbol ⊮, like how the dollar sign is $$$.)

    One piece of small copper coin is 1 suit (1⊮). 10 suit make one medium copper coin. You need 100 suit or 10 medium copper coin to be the equivalent of one big copper coin.

    The rest are like this;

    1 Small Silver Coin= 5 Big Copper Coin= 500 suit⊮
    1 Medium Silver Coin = 2 small Silver = 1,000 suit⊮
    1 Big Silver Coin= 10 Medium Silver =10,000 suit⊮

    1 Small Gold Coin = 5 Big Silver Coin= 50,000 Suit⊮
    1 Medium Gold Coin = 2 Small Gold Coin=100,000 Suit⊮
    1 Big Gold Coin =10 Medium Gold Coin= 1,000,000 Suit⊮

    1 Small White Gold Coin= 5 Big Gold Coin= 5,000,000 Suit⊮
    1 Medium White Gold Coin= 2 Small White Coin=10,000,000 Suit⊮
    1 Big White Gold Coin=10 Medium White Coin Coin=100,000,000 Suit⊮

    Platinum Gold Coin= 2 Big White Gold Coin=200,000,000 Suit⊮
    Magic Essence Coin= 5 Platinum Gold Coin =1,000,000,000 Suit⊮

    Like this, it made it easier for the Kingdom to keep track of their money and economy while saving resources such as copper, silver, and gold more efficiently. Because these new currency and money will be made using ancient magic technology, making it impossible to counterfeit. Unlike the current currencies, which was made using more modern magic technique, the ancient magic technology way of making coins weren’t simple. Not only does the coins sizes going to be different, the component make-up of the coins itselves will be different too. The magic within the coins themselves are small but it have a very secretive emission of wave within it that made it possible to track the currency.

    The features of the coins themselves will also be different too. Since before, the Kingdom keep having issue with counterfeit currency, so this Kingdom was never known for its richness. However, this was to be change so that the people of this kingdom will have a safer and easier life.

    This decision was mainly because of the mana pool that we found half a year ago.

    I don’t see how this will make life easier for the common people but I do see that this Kingdom is getting its financial and economic power up. Well, I can smell a bunch of dark-actions from Prince Yui within this topic so I won’t say anything but... this man... Yeah, he still has his hand in a lot of pies.

    So, for now, I will wait until this kingdom finished implementing the new currency system and then make the cash register device that won’t use mana or magic to empowered it. It would take another three weeks or so until it reaches Karnosh City. But by then, I would had returned already.

    Well, I am returning tomorrow morning.

    After everyone wakes up, I told them that I was leaving so I they will have to take care of the store. I also show Sandra how to use the three new stoves that I build along with the password to open the augmented cabinets. Since this Fortress City do have a Commerce Guild and the Adventurer’s Guild, no matter how small it was, it made it easy for them to deposit the earning later on into my accounts.

    Yes, accounts. I made a small banking/cashing/money account for the store. So that I can keep track of the sells and earning.

    Returning back to Karnosh City with Jily and July took longer than normal for me. Why? Because it was on purpose. And because I was collecting the fruits, flowers, herbs, and animal/beast/monsters/mutated/savages carcasses into the wagon and the Storage backpacks. I know that Prince Yui will be waiting for me regardless if I took my times or not so I didn’t bother to rush back.

    Since he knew that I won’t like it if anything happens to the kids, Prince Yui had the knights returned to the capital city while he stay in Karnosh City.

    But, because I as the house-owner wasn’t home, the City Lord had invited the Prince to their residents. Well, of course, I know that Prince Yui would only stay there for a couple of days and then come back to my house to wait for me but nonetheless, that man better not scared the kids anymore.

    I stopped by as many of villages and towns a I could, selling all the carcasses that I had accumulates to the people a bite cheaper than normal.

    By the time that I had reach anywhere near Karnosh City, I had already earned around 6 Platinum Coin. I put that away into a separate purse for the stores that I have in mind.

    What store? The restaurant that I am going to open as a chef, of course. Right here in Karnosh City. Although, this so call store will not be a store but rather a booth. Just slightly larger than a normal large booth.

    As I plan to sell Chinese-Korean-Japanese and Western foods in that booth, I might want my own restaurant but I have a feeling that if I did that, Prince Yui will drag me to the capital city with him, with the excuse to open a branch store there. So, no, a booth/stall, it is.

    With the two Cards from the two guilds, I didn’t have to pay taxes to go back into Karnosh City.

    I first went to the Adventurer’s Guild to turns in my quests and missions and then went to the Commerce Guild.

    The ice elemental fishes that was request needs to be delivered to the requestor and have them sign the forms to complete the quests. So, let’s do that.

    First of all, was Lady Luciana. The quest was requesting for 10 Ice Salmon, 10 Frosty Bass, and if possible, 2 Blue Seabeam.

    A normal size Ice Salmon cost 30 small gold coin, but the ones that I caught are far larger than normal so the cost was 33 small gold coin per salmons, making the cost of the ice salmon to be a total of 330 small gold coins.

    The cost of a normal size Frosty Bass cost more than an Ice Salmon, at 40 small gold coin each but since the size was larger than normal, and because the fish itselves was intact with no injuries in sight, the price end up at 45 small gold coin per fish. Making the total cost for the Frosty Bass to be 450 small gold coins.

    As for the Blue Seabeam, because the seabeam itself was a normal size, the price was at a normal price of 49 small gold coins. So, the total cost of the seabeam was 98 small gold coins.

    In total, Lady Luciana paid 878 small gold coins.

    The next client, a noble whom daughter’s 15 years old birthday was coming up. He’s request was similar to Lady Luciana, but with no Blue Seabeam and instead, requested 5 Rainbow Tuna.

    Since the price of a normal Rainbow Tuna cost between 45 small gold coin to 48 small gold coin, the total was amount to 240 small gold coins for the 5 Rainbow Tuna.

    Anyway, I was too lazy to count who request what for what, so I won’t bother saying it. Let’s just said that all the request for the ice elemental fishes were accomplished.

    In total, not counting the money from me selling the carcasses outside of Karnosh City, the money that I got was already 12 Platinum coin.

    Soon, the changes of the currency system will hit Karnosh and I will have to change all my money into the new currency, but for now, I can hold onto the current money.

    Chapter 15: Prince Yui’s Madness
    By the time that I made it home, the aura around the mansion was already so strain that I can feel and see it in the air, visibly like lightning.

    Sigh. I made him mad.

    “Shi-ni-chi, wel-come home,” The voice of the devil called as I stepped inside my own house.

    “...”

    Stop smiling like a devil with that chilling aura around you!

    “Why are you still here?” I asked, completely disregard the chilling aura around Prince Yui. His eyes was closed but I could tell that the purple madness within his eyes are still calm and serene. This man, when did his temper turns this bad?

    He might be mad at me for making he waits but he was not enraged yet.

    You haven’t seen Tian Yuanle truly enrage. This man wasn’t the God of Obliteration for nothing.

    In the last world that I was in before this world, a world which was made for Chinese Immortal Practitioners like Tian Yuanle, I got a light injured by one of the goddess in that world due to her jealousy, and caused Tian Yuanle to get so enraged that he obliterated half the world, along with that goddess. Really, I meant half-that world, like a ball being cut in half kind of half the world. If that wasn’t enough, that goddess’s soul was being torture by Tian Yuanle for who-know how long.

    This man is not someone who I want as my enemy.

    “Because I was waiting for you, Shinichi!” Prince Yui replied back with a smile that was not a smile, not as cold as before now that I am here. However, the jealousy and madness within the man’s eyes was still in there.

    “So, Shinichi- You smile,” The jealousy within his tone was so obvious and not even hidden at all. My eyebrows twitched.

    “It’s not like you haven’t seen me smiling before, why are you so jealous?” I asked, completely ignoring the pouting looks on Prince Yui’s face.

    “... Shinichi...” Prince Yui sulk as he pull me into his arms and tries to kiss me.

    I didn't stop him. When his sulking like this with jealousy aura all over his mana flows, it’s best if I don’t pissed him off. Although, I didn’t return his kisses on my cheeks, I also didn’t stop him. I don’t want to lead this man on because that’s frightened, but even if I stop him, he won’t stop so I won’t bother trying, again.

    Not only that, this man was a very possessive man. He can’t claim me as his own but that doesn’t mean that he won’t be jealous if someone else got my affection. The last world was like that also.

    Remember that goddess that I was talking about? She’s one of the member of Tian Yuanle’s harem. Due to his affection, lust, and sentimental for me, that woman, who used to be Tian Yuanle’s favorite, got jealous and tried to harm me.

    Of course, I didn’t reciprocal his feeling since I was dating a certain someone at that time.

    That certain someone was a gentlemen- not the fake kind or the two faces kind- named Bi Yifeng. He was the second young master of the Bi Clan from one of the 88 Immortal World, the Purple Cloud’s World, rule by the Yuan Clan.

    Tian Yuanle was one of the sons of the Jade Emperor, the second Prince. And Bi Yifeng was from one of the large clans that served the Jade Emperor.

    The man was a true sweet-bun, who had never fell in love with someone in his whole eons of life time before. So, meeting me and fallen in love with me had been a life changing impact for him.

    Of course, at that time, I had already knows Tian Yuanle from my previous worlds before that world. You can say that I know Tian Yuanle for a Long Time, already.

    So, when I agreed to go out with Bi Yifeng when I met Yifeng during a Festival, Tian Yuanle was so jealous that he accidentally destroyed his Heavenly Mist Pavillion. Luckily, no one died at that time. But, Tian Yuanle’s jealousy gained the Jade Emperor’s attention, causing a lot of people to notice me and Yifeng.

    Of course, that caused me to be mad at Tian Yuanle so I pretend like I don’t know the man, causing him to get even more mad and yet, comprehended at the same time. Nonetheless, Tian Yuanle’s jealousy nearly kills Yifeng a couple of times. So, I fought with the man, causing him to be both disheartened and jealous at the same time. Of course, because of Tian Yuanle’s action, I had to erase my presences and memories off everyone’s mind. Causing the Jade Emperor to be very mad.

    That was when I decided that the dimension of that realm of reality was not what it seems. So, I use one of my higher tier magic and left that dimension. I don’t know what happens afterward but according to my puppets that I left in that world, it seems that Tian Yuanle got mad at the Jade Emperor and left the family. Much to his older brother’s dismay and shocked.

    But because Tian Yuanle was far more stronger than the Jade Emperor himself, even as the second son and not the heir, that man had track me down and took me back into that dimension again. But by then, Yifeng had already married. Much to my displeasement.

    And yet, because Yifeng had been the one to fall in love with me in the first place, when we met again after a couple thousand years past by, Yifeng still fall in love with me again. Much to Tian Yuanle’s displease and anger. And to Yifeng’s wife heartache.

    Of course, by then, my feeling for Yifeng had already cool down into fondness and friend only. Much to both Tian Yuanle and Yifeng’s pique and discontent.

    And no, I didn’t accept Tian Yuanle’s feeling either.

    But nonetheless, that man and I had traveled around the 888 mortal worlds, 88 Immortal worlds, and 8 Heavenly Worlds together for a couple of eons. We ignored the worlds that the Jade Emperor has most influences over because of Tian Yuanle. But nonetheless, the Emperor Jade still found us after a long while, anyway. Well, not exactly the Jade Emperor. Rather, it was Tian Yuanle’s older brother, the Heir to the Jade Throne. Tian Yuanfeng, the older brother of Tian Yuanle.

    Of course, that was just at the moment that I left that dimension of reality for real and came into this world, Cidetal. Still, the timeline that I came into(onto) was already far into the future for Tian Yuanle. That man also followed me into this world far into the future but seeing that I was not here, he went back to the past of this world, causing all sort of butterfly effects and who know what else effects.

    That’s why I was having a much easier times with messing up the World’s Luck with my presence. Tian Yuanle’s presence had already cause all sort of problems for the world. So, my presences with my lucks just tipped the world into a better direction, unlike that man’s presence- which was mainly chaos and destruction.

    Sighing out loud, I pushed Prince Yui away. I need to go take a shower, make something to eat, have Bel-chan makes more breads, prepare the booth for business, make some magic tools for cooking, make more foods for the kids, harvests the farms, etc.etc.

    More importantly, I need to prepare the kids for when a new dungeon will be created/formed.

    Yes, there’s a new dungeon right underneath this very city that will form within a year or two. Why?

    Because I am here.

    And, I, am a Dungeon Creator, among a couple hundred other noun.

    I didn’t need to do anything. Just my presence alone was enough to accelerate the natural form dungeons and maz that aren’t already one into real dungeon within a faster time frame.

    In this world, a dungeon will form or created only once every hundred years, and only when the area have a large dense amount of mana.

    Like the cave where the mana pool was located in.

    If I hadn’t taken those two out of the cave, then it would had turned the whole cave into a maz or dungeon within a year or two already. But since I took those two out, all those mana have nowhere to formes due to all the monster inside it being wiped out, the surrounding area of that cave had to be compromise under all the extra mana. Causing all sort of monsters to be born, mutated, and level-up much faster than normal.

    Those situation are called Overflow. What my presence does to the still growing dungeon underneath Karnosh City wasn’t Overflowing it. No, it was Growing and Feeding it.

    Nevertheless, due to my presence, the previous destroyed city, which this Karnosh City was built upon, started to awake as a natural dungeons, all by feeding on my mana and presence.

    Unlike all the other dungeons in this world, this dungeon will be far stronger due to my presence as a Dungeon Creator.

    I really couldn’t care less if every humans die before my eyes but I am pretty fond of the kids so I don’t want them to die yet. Which mean that I will have to tutor them in martial arts to get their foundation and levels up. Which also mean that I will have to create a dojo beside Novelle’s house and go talk to the Orphanage’s master.

    However, the glint within Prince Yui’s eyes told me that he won’t let me go any time soon.

    “Shinichi...” Prince Yui’s eyes lightened up with power, as his breathing deepened.

    Tch. Stop trying to get me excited. Right now was not the time for that!

    “N-hmp!” Tch. I told you to not get me excited, you shithead!

    “Ouch! Why do you bit me, Shin-chan?” Whined a certain prince.

    Why? You asking me why?! This damn prince...

    “Mou, fine. We won’t make love tonight, however, I am staying here for the rest of this month!” Prince Yui said with a voice that’s half pout half whined. I have a feeling that if I said no, my house will be destroyed so I stay silent.

    Sigh, why is this man so childish when he wasn’t even childish?

    Just acting so doesn’t mean that he is one. This man just want me to spoil him. And that, was not going to happen.

    “You can’t, you have your own job and responsibility to perform.” I rejected him with that excuse that he was a prince and a prince have obligations toward the Kingdom so he can’t stay for that long.

    “It’s fine! I left a lot of instructions for my subordinates so I can stay here!” The cheekily smile filled with happiness on his face make he looks far more human than possible. This man’s mood change so damn fast!

    For a god like Tian Yuanle to disguise himself using a human body just so that he can stay in this world with me was... both touching and annoying at the same time.

    Still, Tian Yuanle, as Prince Yui, was not the kind of person who will leave his responsibility to someone else if the situation was dire. If he left it to someone else, then it would only mean that the situation in his eyes was a piece-of-cake.

    Well, who am I to suspect the man who could have been the Jade Emperor? Haven’t it been the fact that this man do not want to be the next Jade Emperor, he wouldn’t had being here.

    Still, just who is Tian Yuanle? He can go from world to world, without a care. His powerful enough to make even the Jade Emperor from the previous world’s nervous/fear because he cannot read the man. He can resurrected anyone he wants without any side-effects.

    He have no queer about killing, no mercy for fool who cross his path, and certainly, no doubt about his own personality.

    His acts of childishly behavior for me was certainly not fake. I know this much, at least. However, this made me wonder if Tian Yuanle’s primal, innately, personality was really bright and not as dark as I thought it was.

    He’s like the Sun. Hot yet cold. Dangerous and yet hidden so deeply. Dominating. Bright yet dark. Wise yet intelligent. Deadly yet sometimes was so lovely. Cold yet warm at the same time. Deep yet wild. This man have a lot of contradictions.

    I have no doubt that the Emperor of this kingdom found his son Yui to be a very powerful being that cause both relief and headache for him, also.

    From what I heard, Prince Yui was a very cold, intimidate, and near-insane man. This was why the Black Knights were so surprise that their prince and master, was smiling happily, pouting like a child, and acting so out of character. It terrified them that there’s someone who their master will acts like that toward.

    Sighing out out, I didn’t bother telling him no. This man won’t listen anyway.

    “Fine. However, I will be busy so don’t get in my way,” I warned him with a glare.

    “Okay~!” He said without any promise whatsoever.

    Really...

    “Shin-chan, Shin-chan,” The so called Yui Lexial Bahamut of the Bahamut Kingdom started to rub against me like a little puppy. With his blonde golden hair, large blue eyes, and content smiles on his face, you can say that this man would probably what the anime lovers on Earth called a Pretty Boy? I can’t tell since my sense of beauty is a bit... yeah, not what most people views as beauty.

    I sighed out loud. “Stop interrupting me. I need to go take a bath-” I didn’t even finished my sentence when I was teleported into my onsen(Hot Spring). My clothes was off and so was Prince Yui’s clothes. He drops me into the hot spring water with his arms around me.

    ... What the hell... I didn’t even prewashed yet!

    Knowing exactly was what on my mind, Prince Yui simple ignite one of the [Everyday Usage/Lifestyle] magic spells that will wash off the grims and dirts from a body.

    ... Yeah... This man really is a pain in the ass.


    Chapter 16: A Food Vendor on Green Line Street
    Ah! I wanted to bang my head against the wall!

    I know that it was very hard to the people of this world to learn martial arts but I underestimate the hardness of it.

    Prince Yui, I tipped my hat off to you for successfully cultivating that group of bloodthirsty knights!

    The kids from the orphan were all here at the dojo that I made a week ago.

    They are all currently getting their fundamentals basic down.

    Running, stretching, warm up, core training, balance training, and conditioning their bodies for the coming practice and hell training that I am going to make they go over.

    Since they only have a year or so, there was no way that the kids here would be able to get all all the fundamental basic down on time. So, I cheated a bit and gave them some potions to help them.

    And yet, they are still taking a much longer times than I had anticipates. Ah! Why are they so slow?!

    Since my goal was to make sure that these kids don’t die when the dungeon was fully form and open, I really don’t have to make them go thru hell. Yet, at the same time, my pride as a teacher and mentor won’t allow them to slack off either.

    So, currently, I am teaching them the 5 animals Chinese Martial Arts from the Earth. The Xing Yi Quan. Only, with magic involved.

    Why? Because this world have mana.

    Why else?

    Still, these kids are still just kids. Since the majority of them don’t know how to read or write, I have to hired a couple teachers to teach the how to read, write, and do basic math.

    While that was happening, I had that girl- what was her name again?- Ah, right, Alicia, to help me with my food vendor stall. I called it a food stall, but truly, it was like a mini-store that’s portable and expendable.

    There’s three stone stoves, three fire-stoves using wood, two large glass counters, three small glass counters on the front, two on the sides, and a showcase glass that had the more expensive food inside. In the front of the counter, there’s space for 12 tables, which could host up to 6 people per table.

    On those counters, they display nine set of a 7-Choice-of-Full-Course. Ranging from the appetizers, salade, fishes dish, meat dishes, soup, drink, and dessert. These full-course dishes are the most expensive food on this vendor. They are display in a wooden bento box set, the Jyubako three level bento box set and the Hinoki lunch bento drawer kind. Those bentos were made by the kids using carpenteering skills and woodworking skills. For now, those two different sets are the only ones that they can created.

    I recalled that my oldest brother likes to use bento made from bent-wood. So, I tried to always use the same kind for my stores in any of the world that I been through. Experiences told me that they are famous and very pleased to the customer's taste.

    On the sides counters, there’s option of three to four selections of food: Side dish, main course, soup and or dessert.

    On top of the counters, there’s dessert displaying desserts for sell.

    However, what the specialist of this vendor was the (drum roll please?) [Sushi! Sashimi! Maki!]

    The Fishes! The Ice Element Fishes from the Northern Mountain Range.

    Why? Because I want sushi!

    This vendor will be opening Every weekdays of the Week from 9 in the morning til 12 mid-day. Then from 3 in the afternoon to 7 in the evening. This way, on Dahlia Day(Monday) and Lilies Day(Tuesday), it would be the Days off for everyone.

    Alicia will the the waitress who take orders, while Sunny and Green(Greenwood) take care of the drinks. Sahara and the twin, Avis and Celia, will take care of being a waitress for the customers. And Adeline will be the one who will clean the tables off while Monna will take the plates and dishes away.

    The four younger kids, Allen, Gutz, Jean, and Beth(all 9 years old) will be the ones to washes the dishes. Well, not exactly washing the dishes as much as just organizing it. Since there’s already two large washing machines that I created specifically for washing dishes. All the have to do was scrap of the excess food on the dishes and place them inside the washing machines. Within ten minutes, the dishes will be finish washing and then they just have to dried them and place them into the carts for it, neatly.

    In this city, Karnosh City, there are a lot of food vendors and stalls.

    The most populated streets for food stalls are Highland Street, Vital Street, Scented Street, Payree Street, Tranquility Street, Green Amber Street, and Green Line Street.

    From horizontally and vertically, Highland Street and Vital Street was the mid-point intersection of the whole food-court within Karnosh City. However, Highland Street and Vital Street were for the richer and more larger stores that the richer nobles owned.

    Scented Street was south of Highland Street and East of Vital Street. Payree Street was up north from Highland Street and Vital Street intersect. Above Payree Street, was Green Line Street, where majority of the commoners store located at. As for Green Amber Street, that’s to the South of Highland and Vital Street while Tranquility Street to the East.

    This whole areas was right between the Commerce Guild and the Adventurer’s Guild. The Commerce Guild was located at the intersect of Tranquility Street and Green Amber Street, to the Southeast of the midpoint of the market area. Whereas, the Adventurer’s Guild was to the Southwest. Totally opposite of each other.

    My house was to the west of the adventurer’s guild. Away from the Vital Street and the Commerce Guild.

    While my two food stalls are up north between Green Line Street and Payree Street. Right at the intercross between Payree Street and Scented Street was where the fruit and vegetable stalls are while at Scented Street and Green Line Street, was where my new Food vendor is at. The distance between the two was only of five minutes walking away.

    Anyway, I have a feeling that this vendor was only named a vendor because it was movable. Hadn’t it been for the mobility of the vendor store itself, then with the size of it, it would had been called a restaurant instead of a food stall vendor.

    This stall will be open in another three days. Why not now?

    Because I still have to teach the kids how to make the bento box set. And before that, I still need to go to my ‘backyard’ and cut down the trees needed for the bentos boxes.

    All of the woods that I will be using aren’t actually trees persec.

    They’re bamboo. Only, for some odd reason, this world’s bamboo are oddly... long and thick.

    Each knots of bamboo was about 36 inches long, the thickness was 8 inches thick, and its size was 12 inches in radius wise. So the hollow hole of the bamboo was only about 4 inches wide in radius wise. Each bamboo stalk would always have a total of 120 knots. No higher, no lower.

    What cause me to be very surprise was that this species of bamboo wasn’t edible when young. The bamboo shots wasn’t edible. However, its flower was edible.

    Yes, this species of bamboo bear flowers and fruits.

    The fruits was very small and red, so they were use to dye fabrics. The flower was like a Sakura blossom and it is widely used as flavors. The flowers have a slightly vanilla taste to it so it was no wonder. Asides from that, the flower of the bamboo was also used as perfume scented.

    This finding cause my long-slept scientist mind to awake with a thunder roar.

    Usually, bamboo was cylinder in shape. However, this species of bamboo was decagon in shape. So, you can imagine my excitement.

    After that, I had some fun with the bamboo.

    I made all sorts of thing from it. From woven baskets to plates and dishes to container for salts and sugars. All sort of thing.

    Anyway, the most useful thing was that when I used it to create boxes, I had an inspiration and made some bentos boxes. That’s how I found out that when using this bamboo to make bentos, the food tastes better, fresher, and not as soggy even after a couple hours.

    That’s why I proceed to taught the kids how to make bent-wood/bamboo bento boxes using this variety of bamboo. Not only was this species of bamboo were very strong, it was extremely soft, too. In fact, it was so soft that people mainly use it to woven baskets for going shopping. So, it wasn’t use to make boxes like what I had done.

    Of course, to make this easier, I bestowed the kids the skills to work with woods, [Woodworking].

    To make bentos out of this kind of bamboo, it was both a challenge and a joy for creators like me. Especially when I haven’t make anything like this in a while.

    I went as far as to make puppet out of this bamboo.

    Even though the puppet wasn’t strong, he was very flexible and nimble with his hands. He doesn’t have much intelligent but he follow instruction well.

    The puppet was only a low-grade intelligent puppet but in this world, such a thing was a treasure.

    So, I inscribed into the puppet the technique of a woodworker and magical sound technique. The woodworker allow for the puppet to use any wood within his level to make anything that he wants. AS for the magical sound technique, since he was made out of wood, he couldn’t talk. That’s what the magical sound technique come in.

    As an intelligent puppet, he has a Will of his own so he can communicates. Which the magical sound technique are used for. He can talk via and using this technique.

    Anyway, moving on.

    The next day, Alicia and the kids were all here with me at the stall- setting everything up.

    Unfolding the chairs and tables, putting up the parasol shades, making sure that the knows where are what and what goes where.

    Today was only for showing the kids on how to serve a customers. And teaching the kids on how my stall will runs. The ethics, the module, the rules, how to interacts professionally, how to have boundary between clients and themselves. How and when to not sell themselves shorts. Their interaction between themselves and the clients. In short, I was teaching them how to be a good maids and waitress.

    After having them practice for a couple hours, we went back to my house and have the kids practice putting the bamboo together into a bento box.

    Teaching them how to stream the bamboo into soft-plastic-like texture, teaching how to accurately make the boxes, etc.etc.

    The first day went by like that really fast. We take break, eat lunch, had snacks, questioning and answering time, and lastly, introducing them to the bamboo puppet that I created yesterday.

    I have to be careful to not pay too much attention to the puppet because Prince Yui was still staying with me and he gets jealous far too easy.

    When the official opening date came, I and the kids found hundreds of people already waiting in line in front of the stall.

    ... Well, this was all Prince Yui’s fault!

    All because he was staying with me that all kinds of noblemen and high classes people started to pay attention to my action!

    Even if my luck was extremely high, I had already limited myself using curses to make sure this kind of things doesn’t happen!

    I want a honest business, okay?!

    Sigh.... What can I do? I’m giving up with getting mad whenever Prince Yui did something like this.

    Let’s just open the stall and be done with it.

    “Okay, kids, you all remember the training?”

    All of the kids expression was like they went through war as they all nodded.

    “Okay, then. Let’s go.”

    “Yes!!!”


    Chapter 17: The Dungeon of Karnosh City
    Chapter 17: The Dungeon of Karnosh City

    Someone in my past world once said that human was the vermins of the world. As if to confirm that person's hatred toward humans, the gods, and goddess of that world discriminate against humans by creating monsters with an atypical appearance and strength to hunt humans.

    In that world, it wasn't like this current world. There was only one type of [enemy] for mankind. And that was Demons (beasts, plants, spirits, etc). Not only were they faster, stronger, smarter, live longer, and can procreate better, they also have more endurance when it comes to patience and sadistic strikes.

    Mankind's only protection was a City called Wall Gaian. And yet, within that city along, humans weren't kind toward mankind.

    Internal fighting, conspiracy, hatred, vengeance, darkness...

    So, it wasn't a surprise that Wall Gaian got destroyed even before I was sent to that world. There was only a limited amount of humans left by the time that I got to that world.

    I recalled building a new city for them. Making lands for farming, teaching them how to fight against demons, and basically being the new founder of mankind, including teaching them morals and ethics. Within a period of 50 years, the population increase from 500 to 5,000. And then from then on, I had concentrated on increasing the strength of the populations to suppress the demons again.

    100 years passed by in that world and 70% of the people whom I mentor and train were all levels 70s and above. They had successfully taken back 20% of the lands that belong to the demons but was originally from the goddess.

    200 years later, and finally, there was someone who could suppress the gods and goddess of that world. Preventing them from creating any more demons. And no, it wasn't me.

    500 years later, I watch as my first disciple's grandson killed one of the 12 Demon Kings while marrying one of the other Demon King's daughter.

    This action causes a lot of chaos from humans but once they truly met the daughter of that Demon King, they stopped arguing.

    Why? Because that woman was a half-human half-demon from one of the rarest Demon Bloodline, the Vampires. Not only that, she happened to be the Silverblood Vampire's Princess, too.

    This action brought the Werewolves and the Vampires to the humans' sides.

    1,000 years after that, humans, vampires, and werewolves had already inter-married for so long that the majority of them had either one or the other's bloodline in their veins.

    And yet, in the year 1256, the continent that hosts the human, werewolves, and vampires were gone.

    Why? Because I was asleep at that time and didn't notice that my Titled "Dungeon Creator" was still active. This caused dungeons to form in that continents like ants' hills.

    When I woke up in the year 1255, there was no one else left in that continent anymore. Only Phantom Beasts, Monsters, and Aberrated Demons created within those Dungeons that formed while I was asleep were left on the continent.

    I spent a full year closing down one dungeon after another. And by the times that every dungeon was closed and collapsed, the continent was already submerged within the sea. Why? Because closing those dungeons created instability within the continent's earth so seawater rushed in and slowly submerged it underneath.

    After that, I left the continent and went to the Demon Continents.

    It was then that I happen to gain the title "Continental Creator". As a result, I adopted all the demon orphans that I can and started living with them on the Demon Continent. What? No, I don't discriminate against Demon just because I am a human. Wait, am I still being count as a human being anymore? Whatever.

    And yet, since I was slightly pissed off at my own mistake for sleeping without checking my "To-Do List before Sleeping", I didn't do such a thing as making another kingdom again in that world.

    Well, a city was formed but the population never reach higher than 10,000. Why? Because I don't want a damn kingdom to form again.

    Why am I talking about this kind of information to you, the readers?

    Well, to give you an idea of what would happen if I don't prepare the kids for the Dungeon that is now at 89% complete forming.

    Even though I had Turned Off all the titles that will or could influence the Dungeon forming, my own presence itself was already affecting the acceleration of the dungeon.

    Why? Because of my lucks.

    Dungeons are just another 'excuse' the world created for me as resources and bribes. Basically, dungeons and mazes that weren't man-made were all created by the world to keep me from getting bored. When I am bored, dangerous things happen and that isn't good.

    So, yes. Bribes. The World itself is Bribing me. Why?

    Well... that might be my fault. Yes, it was my fault.

    Remember when I said that I accidentally destroyed a couple of world/planets back then?

    Well... the truth is that Cidetal wasn't actually the 27th world that I went to... It was actually the... 79th world that I went through and lives.

    The reason why I said that Cidetal was the 27th world was because the other ones don't exist anymore. So, yes, only 27 Worlds survived with me in it. So far... Ah- don't be mistaken, okay? The majority of those worlds that were destroyed was already in the process of being destroyed or dying when I got to those worlds. Most of those worlds didn't get physically destroyed by me. So, don't be mistaken! There was a couple of worlds which I spiritually and or physically did destroy but... Yeah- let's not mention those worlds. It caused my mood to sunk so badly just remembering it.

    Counting the number of lives that I had 'killed off' and yes, you can see why such Titles like The Demon Gods and One Man Army are within the weakest Titles that I have.

    Hahahahaha... How else would Cidetal get so scared of me? Cidetal is a rank B world, you know?

    How else do you think that it was possible for me to go head to head with Tian Yuanle?

    Because- fucking damn it, Tian Yuanle was still stronger than me, okay?!!!

    You have no fucking clue as to how many fucking damn world/planets he had already destroyed!

    I can say for sure that this man had destroyed more worlds than that I had traveled to!

    The reason why I keep having headaches about the kids was because of this. If the Dungeon underground successfully formed and the kids aren't ready? Then yeah, they won't survive.

    Unless, of course, I do something about the dungeon first. Which, I plan to do.

    I need to investigates what kind of Dungeon this dungeon will be like.

    If this world's Conscious was like all the previous world's Conscious, then I can already see what kind of Dungeon this Dungeon will be.

    With my presence as the base, there are only 12 kinds of Dungeon that this dungeon might be formed to be.

    Truth be told, all of the dungeons and mazes that I had created personally were rather MMORPG-ish. Why? Because I grow up in the Western rather than the Eastern cultural influences.

    In the times that I had been born in, Virtual Reality Gaming was already a big part of the lifestyle of everyone. Ranging from all kinds of genres and subgenres, many games had already come out. From dating-sims to survival to horror and mysterious. All kinds of genres.

    Right before I first had my World-Hopping/transmigrant to another world, the game Sacred Limitation came out. It was a First-Person Shooter VRMMO games with slight influences of RPG and realism.

    The realism was... real. You can feel pain, hunger, satisfaction from eating, and getting stronger from playing it. And yes, dying in the game was a bitch and a half in real life. Most games would put a restriction of 3 Days Log-In restriction to players if they died but for Sacred Limitation, it was a full 7 Days Restriction. Why? Because of mental health and psychological influences.

    Why 7 days? Because, unlike before when VRG wasn't so realistic, dying doesn't cause much health issues, be it mental or physical. However, ever since VRG got to the realism of above 50%, dying was far too real and it cast shadows of all kinds of psychological issues on the mind. Which was why the 7 Days restriction came in. So, yes, in Sacred Limitation, PVP was locked behind a lot of quests and restrictions.

    The first 3 days of the restriction was spent resting the mind and body from having experienced what dead is like while the rest of the 4 days was for going to a psychologist and a physical therapist.

    However, like every VRG out there, there was nothing special about it, asides from the Intelligence A. I programs and the world building within the timeline of the games. I had only played it for 3 months before I graduated from my college and was in the process of moving to England when I got kicked/pull/push into my first World.

    So, unknowingly, my first Dungeon as a Dungeon Creator was a softer version of the Horde-Spawn Mode Battling kind of dungeon. Then, from that dungeon onward, it changes between the 12 variety of Dungeon: The Labyrinthine Environment Dungeon, Horde-Spawn Mode Battling Dungeon, Loot-and Create Dungeon, Story Driven-Event Dungeon, Mysterious Dungeon, Crafting Dungeon, Invasion Vs. Defense Dungeon, Roguelike Dungeon, Game Base Dungeon, Instance Mazes, Wizard and Magic Dungeon, and Battle Restricted Dungeon. With rankings from F to SSSSS in terms of difficulty, you can say that my Dungeons was never boring.

    The Dungeon that was currently forming underneath Karnosh City was going to be a Rank D Dungeon of the Invasion Vs. Defense kind.

    Meaning that groups of varieties of monsters will come out from places that are dark and kills every other being on the surface. Be it humans, Demi-human, elves, monsters, beast, or otherwise. As long as they do not belong to the dungeon, then they will be the killing targets of anything that crawled out from the dungeon.

    Within the Rank D Dungeon, there are 'Mobs' that are able to use magic. This case was especially true for the dungeon underneath Karnosh City.

    Nonetheless, this dungeon has both an advantage side and a disadvantage side to it.

    The advantage side was that all of the 'mobs' coming out from the dungeon are very useful for the beings on the surface.


    The disadvantage side was that they are endless hordes coming. They won't stop coming until sunrise the next morning. Once the sunset in the evening, they will crawl out from the dungeon. Once the sun rises in the morning, they will simply vanish back into the dungeon.

    Each time that the 'mobs' came out from the dungeon and kill someone, be it human or beasts, they will only get stronger, faster, gain more ability, and the likes. So, they must be killed on the first time that they come out.

    Even though for a ranked D dungeon, it was pretty lacking. But for the people of this world, this was pretty much the same as a Mana Pool. Only less intense since no 'mobs' came out during the day, unlike the Mana Pool situation where monsters and beasts from all kind of sizes could come all day all night.

    To make sure that the kids knew what was coming, I had even put up a Combat Formation within the Dojo, where the small horde size of wooden puppets come alive. The wooden puppets are slightly different from the bamboo puppet, as they are being controlled by me. I made the kids go through this daily.

    It was to the point that most of them are living here already.

    Since my house was pretty big, I really don't care if they stay here too. And yes, they are still working for me.

    It's just that they are used to the works that they do, so now they got it done pretty fast. Not only that, they are getting stronger and faster due to the training that I made and the food that I cooked for them, so they didn't take long now.

    Sometimes Prince Yui would also play with them by controlling the wooden puppets or changing the format of the Combat Formation, too. This sometimes causes the kids to get hurts but since I have a lot of healing potions, their lives aren't in danger.

    Still, they knew that the healing potion cost a lot so they tried to best to not get injured often. The kids are pretty sensitive in this regard. Unlike a certain prince.

    Anyway, Prince Yui asked me why and what I was training the kids for so I told him about the dungeon that's forming right now underground.

    "Shinichi, there's also an underground Maze underneath the capital city, too." He dropped the bomb without care.

    "...." Oi, why are you telling me that? Shouldn't that be kept a secret from your end? Well, I will find out anyway if I went to the capital but I didn't yet. So why are you telling me this kind of National Secret for?!

    Oi, don't tell me that you have no intention to go back home?!

    Stop smiling like that!

    "... Sigh. What kind of maze was it?" I asked, trying and failing to stop my curiosity.

    "A Labyrinth Maze of 200 Level from the 4 Primal Elemental.

    "Oh? A magic Maze? What's the highest level of mobs in there?"

    "A level 200 Gold Dragon that's 2,000 years old."

    "Only level 200?" What a disappointment.

    Prince Yui chuckled, "Shinichi, that dragon was only a kid. He's not the demon king, okay?" He kissed me on my cheeks as he chuckled.

    Oi, stop kissing me already! There are kids here! Although none of the kids dear to looks at us. They have already known by heart by now that Prince Yui was a demon in sheep clothes.

    When Prince Yui said that the dungeon originates from the 4 primal elementals, he meant: Wood, Water, Earth, and Fire.

    Those are the 4 Primal Elemental.

    Things like water slime, fire imp, earth golem, and treants. Those monsters or in this case, mobs, are from the 4 primal elementals. Of course, this was just an ordinary example.

    If the monster evolves, then it would be different. For example, slime can change its core essence from a water slime to a sticky slime or a poison slime depended on the slime's route of evolutionary.

    And in Prince Yui and my opinion, the Gold Dragon was an Evolved Dragon from the Earth Dragon bloodline.

    I remember one of my Master from a previous world said, "To Evolve, One must Evolve Themselves". That master was a Sage who specialist in Beast Magic, so his words are true to their essence.

    Especially Dragon Beast Magic since that man had this weird obsession with dragon and lizard.

    So, I am entitled to be able to call one of the strongest dragons a baby. Especially if I myself have thousands of dragons that had already live to their million years old. So, there's nothing wrong with me calling that dragon a baby... Besides, Yui had probably planted that dragon there...

    Ah, that's right. In this world of Cidetal, the Magic Elements of this world was: Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, Light, Darkness, Time, Space, Summoner, Alchemist, Investigator, Ancient, and Null.

    Although, in the past 10,000 years, only the 4 Primal Elements and the 3 Sides(Summoner, Alchemist, and Light) magic are left.

    In this world, magic spells are all evoked through a magic circle. So, spells are all activated by absorbing magical energy via magic circles and incantations. Well, all except for Ancient Magic, which was thru comprehension and control. Well, this is in the case of the people of this world. For me, voiceless incarnation or just thought about it was fine since my control over my own power isn't weak. Not to mention my magic manipulation skills was also maxed out too.

    Ancient magician were those that are able to use magic to craft things- literally with no materials before-hand. So, the magical crafter now-a-day are all half-baked since the majority of the Ancient Magic's knowledge was lost during the war a couple of million years ago.

    Even as half-bakes crafters, their creations are still widely sought after.

    In this city, Karnosh City, there was only one Magical Craft Shop. And it belongs to Prince Yui. With his connection toward the Lord of this city, this shop was the most influential shop in the whole city. It located in the middle of the shopping plaza with a large and magnificent seven-story building.

    I might not know everything about this world yet, but I do know that Prince Yui was not just a Prince.

    According to information, the dungeon below the capital city was discovered by Prince Yui 15 years ago when he was only 10 years old. Since then, the capital city has been flourishing like a fountain of gold was found in his house. In a way, that dungeon was a gold mine- only it was far easier to use and replenish once it ran out.

    As I said, this man had come here into this world far earlier than me so I don't have a clue as to what he was doing in this world before he was born as the Prince of this Kingdom. Actually, I really don't want to know what he was doing. And I can't read what he was doing anyway since he blocked my Sight from seeing it.

    Anyway, the reason why Prince Yui told me about the dungeon underneath the capital was properly that he wanted me to go to the capital with him but I refused. If I leave now, no one will be able to train the kids. And, then with the absence of my presence, the dungeon down, here, will go berserk. And that will really be a tragedy waiting to happen.

    Moving on, Prince Yui will have to leave in a couple of days so he was really... sticky toward me.

    He won't let me sleep peacefully, either.

    He has his own room to sleep in but he would always sneak into my room. So, seeing no point in stopping him, I just let him sleep with me.

    Even though we aren't even going out.

    Oh well. I'm also a man too so if he wanted to take advantage of me, I would also take advantage of him and 'drink' him dry.

    What? I'm still a man even if I am gay, okay?!

    All men are beast in sheep form!

    This was especially true for Prince Yui. That man didn't leave me alone for even a couple of minutes!

    Just because he's leaving in a couple of days that he was this insatiate! I have to make sure that my house can withstand our lovemaking by reinforcing everything with magic and my own blood- just a drop and just in case.

    Anyway, because of Prince Yui, I was so damn satisfied that my work pace increase, causing all the kids to look at me like I'm a monster if I weren't one already in their eyes.

    [Two Weeks Later]

    The store, my new store, which was called "Shirin's Food and Drink Stall, was very popular, even among the nobles.

    No, this was especially to the nobles.

    Since there was a limited amount of food that the stall can serve per day, the earning was also limited.

    Let's see, each day, there was about 3,000 customers per day minimum but the foods that I prepared per day was only 5,000 in quantity. Yet, the majority of the customers bought at least two to three different kinds each time that they buy from here, so I made around 3 to 4 Small Gold coins each day. In the new currency right now, that's about 100,000-150,000 Suit⊮ per day.

    More than a noble's store per week. Well, of course, this doesn't count Yui's Ancient Magic store. His store catered to the riches of the rich within this while kingdom so that doesn't count.

    This earning increase my Commerce Ranking from a C-Rank to a B-Rank Merchant easily.

    Hmm? What? Forgot about the new currency already?

    Then let me remind you, readers.

    The previously used currency of this continent was this:

    Copper coin<Small Silver coin<Large Silver coin<Small Gold coin<Large Gold coin< Platinum Gold Coin< and finally, Magic Essence Shard/Coin.

    100 Copper Coin= 1 Small Silver coin

    10 Small Silver Coin= 1 Large Silver Coin

    10 Large Silver Coin= 1 Small Gold Coin

    10 Small Gold Coin= 1 Large Gold Coin

    10 Large Gold Coin= 1 Platinum Coin

    10 Platinum Coin= 1 Magic Essence Shard or Coin.


    If using Earth's standard, USD, then, 100 Copper coin is worth $0.001 Credit in Galactic Credit, currency. So, 1 Small Silver coin is $0.001 Credits because of 100 copper coin equal to 1 small silver coin.

    So, 1 Large Silver is the equivalent of $0.01 Credit. And, the Small Gold coin is $0.10 Credit. Large Gold Coin is $1 Credit. Platinum Coin is $10 Credits each. And Magic Shard or Coin is 100 Credits.


    Change those into standardized money used on Earth, and their worths are multiplied by 10 times of exchange ratios. This means that each copper coin is worth about $10.00 USD. The rest? Do the math, yourself.[A/N: please let me know if I did the math wrong]

    These were the old currency in this Kingdom.

    The new Currency that had taken full effect a couple of weeks ago isn't the same as the old currency. The currency's looks and shapes are all different.

    1 Small Copper Coin is now called a piece or a Suit.

    So, One Piece for One Coin/Suit (⊮). Suit is pronounced as [Sweet] only with a Z or Tsu like Sweetsu.

    1 Small Copper Coin (A.K.A.) piece or suit= 1 suit⊮
    1 Medium Copper Coin = 10 Small Copper Coin= 10 suit⊮
    1 Big Copper Coin = 10 Medium Copper Coin= 100 suit⊮

    1 Small Silver Coin= 5 Big Copper Coin= 500 suit⊮
    1 Medium Silver Coin = 2 small Silver = 1,000 suit⊮
    1 Big Silver Coin= 10 Medium Silver =10,000 suit⊮

    1 Small Gold Coin = 5 Big Silver Coin= 50,000 Suit⊮
    1 Medium Gold Coin = 2 Small Gold Coin=100,000 Suit⊮
    1 Big Gold Coin =10 Medium Gold Coin= 1,000,000 Suit⊮
    1 Small White Gold Coin= 5 Big Gold Coin= 5,000,000 Suit⊮
    1 Medium White Gold Coin= 2 Small White Coin=10,000,000 Suit⊮
    1 Big White Gold Coin=10 Medium White Coin Coin=100,000,000 Suit⊮


    Platinum Gold Coin= 2 Big White Gold Coin=200,000,000 Suit⊮
    Magic Essence Coin= 10 Platinum Gold Coin =1,000,000,000 Suit⊮


    So, 100,000 Suit⊮-150,000 Suit⊮ per day was already a lot of money for a city of this size.

    Normally, if you earned 100-200 Suit⊮ per day, then you are already set and secure for a week- if you know how to save. After all, with the new currency system in place, a lot of goods are cheaper in a sense since the new Suit⊮ currency system has more worth compared to the previous system.

    So, me, who was earning at least 100,000 Suit⊮ to 150,000 Suit⊮ per day was a rich bastard already.

    Although, not as much if I sell the fishes by themselves and not as fast. This was still far more than most of the noble's store's earn in a month.

    Anyway, for now, these schedules work for me, and its pace was fast enough that it didn't bore me to death, so I am okay with it.

    On Dahlia Day, I prepared the materials and organized the paperwork while training the kids. On Lilies Day, I cooked and made the foods and store them in the spatial containers that can be transferred into both these two stores here in Karnosh and the one in Froze Frost Fortress. On this day, the kids will go back to the orphans and do their things there. Tulips Day was the first day of the week that the Stall was opened so it will be very busy. Ah, you don't have to worry since I am the one that transferred all the foods and set up the store every time, so the kids are safe even if there are thieves targeting them.

    Orchid Day's are divided between Training the kids and the stalls.

    Gazania Day is mostly focusing on training the kids. On that day, the kids will rotate theirs shifted between the two stores and the training dojo. On Rosa Day, it is for Combat Training- both Martial Arts and Magic. Finally, on Lotus Day, I put out a Tournament every other week. The strongest will get to eat more foods and dessert while the weakest will have to wash the clothes from everyone.

    Hm? What? Do you think that this schedule was really carefree?

    You are dead wrong. For me, this is very carefree, I admitted.

    However, for the kids, this was Hell-Level Training.

    At any rate, I make sure that the kids all have at least 6 hours of sleeping per night and a short nap of 1 hour per day. I also make sure that their foods have enough nutrition for their growing bodies.

    The way that I pay attention to the kids caused Prince Yui to be slightly jealous but he knew what I was doing so he didn't stop me. Only, he got a tidbit more 'sticky' and possessive.

    This schedule was kept until the day that Prince Yui had to go home.

    1st week Dahlia Day, 7th Month of the Year, Year 4286 of Bahamut Year.

    "... Shinichi... Come with me?" Prince Yui was sulking and looking very gloomy as he asked that question.

    "No," I didn't hesitate to say no, either. We both knew that my answer was going to be the same but he wanted to ask anyway.

    "... Fine. But I will be back!" Oi, you are a Prince! You aren't a kid anymore so stop looking like I killed your puppy!

    We are currently outside the Karnosh City Gate with the Lord of this City behind us. Although, the Lord was trying his best to make his presence disappeared and failing miserably at it.

    Lord Flavius was only a Viscount so he was very nervous when he interacts with Prince Yui. The Lord Flavius who can one-hit killed a Rank A beast just a couple of days ago was now shivering in fear with a look that says he's going to piss his pants. Really.... where's that cool guy from before gone to?

    Prince Yui wasn't normally this childish so this behavior cause Lord Flavius to be very nervous.

    Why? Because this Lord wasn't very strong in Spirit and Will. So, being in Prince Yui's presence caused his whole body to trembled in fear. To mention my presence was not any less commanding.

    So, Prince Yui's natural personality of being colder than Ice to Lord Flavius was like meeting the Demon Lord with Lord Flavius being a small animal.

    Afraid to breathe, afraid to look, afraid to even twitch.

    I remembered the first time that I meet this man.

    I experienced something similar to this too. Except, my Will and Spirit was so high that it lasted for only a nano-of-a-second. Maybe that was the initiator that caused Tian Yuanle to be interested in me. Well, asides from the fact that I was his type.

    So, I completely understand why he feared Prince Yui but...

    Why are you scared of me too?!

    I dimmed out my natural innate aura already right?! Why are you still shaking when talking to me, Lord Flavius?!

    Ah, by the way, I and Prince Yui had told Lord Flavius about the Dungeon that's forming down below Karnosh City too.

    To my wonder, the City Lord had already known about it due to his daughter's skill of sensing dungeon.

    Of course, he didn't know when the dungeon will be finishing forming but he had already gone and sent a letter to the Emperor about the Dungeon coming alive soon. He estimates that it would be about 2 more years until it finished forming...

    Yeah, it seems like I have to do something to slow down the formation of the dungeon.

    Anyway, Prince Yui, stop looking like I killed your puppy, already!

    "Shinichi~~~ Wuwuwuwu~~~ come with me~~~~" ( ˃̣̣̥ω˂̣̣̥ )( ˃̣̣̥ω˂̣̣̥ )( ˃̣̣̥ω˂̣̣̥ )( ˃̣̣̥ω˂̣̣̥ )( ˃̣̣̥ω˂̣̣̥ )

    Stop it!

    You're making my heart beating too fast!

    My sense of beauty might be a bit screwed but I still know that your face right now is my type, okay?! Stop that!

    "Shin-i-chi~~~ ( ˃̣̣̥ω˂̣̣̥ )˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.( ˃̣̣̥ω˂̣̣̥ )˚‧"

    Oi! I got it already so stop crying! Goddamnit!

    ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚

    I said stop crying already!

    Geez, no choice then.

    I pull the crying man in front of me and sealed his lips.

    "!!!"

    Preying his lips opened, I push my tongue inside his mouth and send a jerk of electric power onto his tongue, causing his tears to stopped and his breathing to collapsed as electric shock shocked thru his tongue right into his brain.

    Before Prince Yui could lock his lips onto me and overpower me, I stopped the kiss and knocked him out cold within less than a split nano of a second.

    He's only going to be knocked out for 5 minutes due to the restriction of my strength but it was more than enough for the knights to leave with Prince Yui.

    What? Why are the knights all looking so surprised?

    "What are you guys doing?! Hurry up and take the Yui with you and returned to the Capital before he wakes up!"

    ""Yes, Sir!"" They all snap to attention.

    Oi, why are you knights looking like you just met the Demon God?! I didn't do anything to you guys yet! Did I forget to turn off one of my titles? No! I turned every other Title off already, leaving only the Chef of the World title on.

    Well, whatever.

    The knights left with Prince Yui in a carriage. The horse pulling the carriage was a horse similar to July and his brother but was different varies called the Dark Starling Horse. Its speeds were faster and more fierce compared to the Jule Horse.

    So, within a minute, their presence has already left my area of sense already. That's about 90 miles away.

    Hmph, I hope that Prince Yui won't wake up any time soon!

    ----- 3 Minutes Later-----

    A certain someone with long blond hair and dark blue eyes, going by the name of Yui Lexial Bahamut opened his eyes. There was no warmth within the eyes at all. The coldness within it could even cause ice to freeze all over again.

    All of the knights kneel down on their knees as their heads bend into their chest.

    There was no sound at all from the knights, making the scene look very ominous.

    Suddenly, a small smile grace prince Yui's face.

    "Hahaha, Shinichi- oh- Shinichi, why are you always so unpredictable? So adorable. Fine, I will go back but don't expect me to stay away for long." The man said as his whole body emitted out a dark presence, causing the knights to shivers in fear.

    The prince looked back in the direction that Karnosh City was at with a look that brings gloominess into his eyes before he reluctantly looks away. He licked his lips as his eyes turned golden purple for a split second.

    It was only for a split second and yet, the whole world trembled.

    Far away, inside Karnosh City, Shinichi pause as he turned toward the direction of that aura.

    "Stop acting like a kid! You will come back soon, anyway!" He coldly said as he continues to do whatever it was that he was doing.

    Back at Prince Yui, he smiles slightly. "Got it, Shin-chan," He whispered to himself with a longing smile on his face. His whole very being feels reluctant to leave but he forces himself to go. Within less than 2 seconds, they were gone. Completely vanished.
