*** "Was it this young man who knocked you unconscious yesterday?" asked a muscular man, showing his cellphone to another man. "That's right! That bastard also stole my photoshoot!" growled the youth with a face filled with rage. "Hahh?! Losing to a young man who can only rely on his face, you really are embarrassing, Kisaki!" exclaimed a man with a face full of horrible tattoos. "Shut up Hanjin! I didn't even realize when he kicked my leg without warning and then kicked my head when I fell!" Kisaki roared ferociously in response. "Tch! Shut up, you two! Let me think of a way to get revenge on that bastard!" The muscular man who had shown Kisaki the picture scolded the two of them when he was distracted. They were both shocked and immediately apologized to the man. "Forgive us, Tobi-sama!" they shouted in unison. "Alright, call the other core leaders, we'll discuss this!" Tobi ordered them. "We understand!" After some time, they all had gathered in a narrow but clean alley. T
*** "What about the attack? Is it certain that the girl will die?" "With such powerful and numerous monsters, I can confirm that the girl should be dead," said a black-robed man without a face visible. "Good. If there are no survivors, it should be easy for me to carry out the next plan." "Yes, do as you please, and goodbye." That was what the robed man said before walking out of the dark and extremely dirty room. "Sure, goodbye..." After the robed man left, an old woman entered the room. "What about our next plan, Father?" asked the old woman to an old man with a thick beard who was sitting quietly in a chair. "We can carry out the plan this time. Prepare your son to execute his plan. Our subordinates are ready to take control of this Empire." "Okay, Father," replied the old woman to the bearded grandfather. Then the old woman left the room, leaving the bearded old man alone. Seeing that his daughter had completely walked out of the room, the old geezer heaved a tired sigh
*** "Do you know where the Princess is now?" asked a soldier as he carried his food. "I don't know, don't ask me," snorted the man next to him. "Perhaps the Princess is in the more luxurious room upstairs?" "That could be..." They chatted about where Livy might be sleeping until a surviving knight commander walked up to them all. "Hey you guys! Do you want your mouths sewn up?!" Hearing the scream, they all immediately stood up and bowed their heads to the knight. "Please excuse our language, Sir Dawson!" they exclaimed in unison. "Well, let's not talk about the Princess anyway... Why do you guys like talking about her so much?" asked Sir Dawson with a tired sigh. Glancing at each other, they finally answered. "Nothing else to talk about?" "Too interesting to see the Princess's sudden change in character!" "Talking about the owner of this Palace?" "Yeah, those are all fun topics to discuss..." They expressed their own opinions to each other. Seeing that they still had no
*** Now, Sir Dawson will describe what happened from his perspective, regarding the political system in the Arthia Empire. The Arthia Empire had a centralized government system where nepotism was always the norm, even though those promoted through nepotism were often untalented in their field. As a result, the Empire remained in a state of prolonged stagnation. Poverty in the Empire was also quite extreme, as there were very few gold reserves in the state treasury. The entire continent used the same currency, namely gold coins. However, a small country located to the south - a kingdom that was very rich - controlled the circulation of gold, so the Empire had no power to restore its economy. Many events led to this situation, with the United Kingdom and the Razor Empire having absolute control over the circulation of gold coins. Ultimately, they were able to choke the Arthia Empire's economy and significantly weaken it. "Though the Arthia Empire was a fertile and wealthy country, d
After arriving at the dining room, Kazuki and Sir Dawson saw that half of the soldiers were still there to eat. Looking at them all with a bright smile, Kazuki immediately shouted loudly, “Etto~!! Everyone, can you hear my voice~!?” The soldiers nodded lightly. Nodded... Nodded... "Alright, I'll just get straight to the point, Sir Dawson and I have been discussing for a while, and we'd like to ask for your opinion on your grievances towards the Arthia Empire. Please share your personal opinions about the Empire, whatever that opinion may be, we will accept!!” The soldiers who were listening to Kazuki's statement glanced at each other and started discussing. It wasn't until a soldier stood up and raised his hand while shouting, "Master Kazuki! Can I express my complaint?" Seeing the first person who dared to speak up made Kazuki smile sincerely and reply, “Yes, please share your complaints!” "I have a complaint about why my child cannot go to school even though my child is very sma
*** In the backyard of the Secret Palace. "Woahhh~!! Sir Robert is the best!!" "What a powerful monster!!" "Good thing we were able to learn this!" The soldiers, who had been resting, watched as Sir Robert fought against a very large and tall monster. When the monster saw the many humans, it tried to attack the palace. However, the monster crashed into the barrier and could not enter. Once Sir Robert realized that the soldiers were watching quietly, he stepped out of the barrier and fought the monster one-on-one, showing the soldiers its techniques. The moment Kazuki saw those who were watching Sir Robert fight, he even recognized this type of monster a bit. 'Hey System, isn't this monster the second monster I killed...?' [...Yes, that type of monster is the Orc Champion.] '... So...' "Hurraaaa...!!!!" press!! Slamming his sword down, Sir Robert finally killed the monster! Slash!!!! Scroshhh!!!! "Roaarrrrr!!!!!!!!" brukk!!!! Sprawl... When the monster was killed, the
*** "Hey kids, don't be disrespectful to Mr. Kazuki!" commanded Sir Robert to the soldiers. At this moment, Kazuki was engaged in a light conversation with the soldiers. There seemed to be no distance between the soldiers and Kazuki; they appeared more like close friends rather than a lord and his subordinates. "Sir Robert! Are you joining us too? You can't! You need to become a young man first to join in here!" joked one of the soldiers, who was currently gathered with Kazuki and the other soldiers. Hearing the soldier's jest, Sir Robert responded, "I've only reached the age of 56, I'm still young!" "Hahahah! You're already too old! Don't pretend to be young! Your mustache can't fool us!" exclaimed another soldier. "A mustache is the pride of a man with authority, while a beard is the pride of a wise man!" Sir Robert stated firmly, with a proud expression. "That's the pride of old men! Not young men!" shouted the soldier again and again. "Y-You!!" The two of them then engage
*** "Are you really not coming with us to the Arthia Empire? So I can introduce you to my father and mother!" Livy asked with a somewhat gloomy expression and a glimmer of hope. "Errmm... Livy~, maybe I can't go there for a while, but I promise I'll go as soon as possible," Kazuki said while hugging her. "Okay, darling. We will return to the Empire first, but before that..." Livy cut him off and went to the postal carriage before returning with a small box. Curious about what Livy took, Kazuki asked, "Um... Livy, what's in the box?" "Hehehe~..." Without answering, Livy opened the box. Inside, there were a pair of gold rings. "A ring? Are you proposing to me? No, better let me propose to you~!" Kazuki exclaimed upon seeing the rings. Hearing Kazuki's words, Livy pouted and puffed her cheeks while saying, "Not proposing! This is a Location Ring. This ring will connect us even when we are far apart. We can also sense each other's location and infuse it with magical energy to s
*** The 29th Floor Defence, the monster known as "Shadowfang," was a terrifying creature. Its black-furred body enclosed powerful muscles, and its red eyes exuded killing intent. With sharp teeth and menacing claws, it was a deadly predator. "Grhhhhh...!!!" Kazuki faced it calmly, his sharp eyes looking at the monster. The Time Space Spear in his hand shone with a silvery blue light, hinting at the power ready to be unleashed. He stepped forward, ready to fight this monster. Dash-!!! "Roaarrr-!!!" The monster let out a thunderous roar, and its first attack came quickly. Kazuki dodged nimbly, dodging its sharp claws. In an instant, he was already at the monster's side, and with a swift movement, his spear stabbed towards the creature's shoulder. "Die for me-!!!" Croshhh-!!! The monster cried out in pain, but its attack became even more ferocious. Kazuki moved with great speed and skill, dodging the deadly attacks. He jumped into the air, avoiding the monster's bite. Avoid-!!!
*** The door of the room opened and King Ray entered the room with a firm step. Kazuki and the ministers greeted him. Without further ado, Kazuki immediately asked, "What is the reason for your arrival here, King Ray?" King Ray smiled calmly, showing his maturity and wisdom. He stated his intention firmly. "I will get straight to the point, I came to ask for help and establish a strong political relationship with the Arthia Empire led by you, Emperor Kazuki." Kazuki and the ministers were surprised by this request. However, Kazuki understood that this step could be the key to overcoming a greater threat and developing a strong ally. He stepped forward with a steady step, "Explain, King Ray. Why do you want us to be allies? Won't you be hostile by other Kingdoms?" King Ray explained about the threat that was threatening his country. He revealed that they had also faced terrible pressure from other countries, and even if that failed, they still had other problems in terms of food, a
*** The adventurers responded quickly, unleashing their best fighting skills. Move-!! Srasshhhhhh-!!!! The sound of weapons clashing, magic exploding, and battle cries echoed along the dark alleys. "Earth creation-!!" Booommmmm-!!!! Step- Dashhhh-!!! "Mage-!! A few steps beside the Tanker there is a barrel containing vampires hiding-!! So, quickly destroy it-!!" "I'll do it-!!" Roarrrrr-!!! Flash- The vampires tried to attack brutally, but the adventurers overcame their fear and fought back, but the vampires were easily suppressed by them because they had more numbers. The battle was fierce, with blood and sweat mixing, filling the air with a turbulent energy. Scrassshhhh-!!! Avoid- Split!!! After a heavy battle, the adventurers finally managed to defeat the vampires. The ferocious creatures turned into dust, disappearing in the night wind. The adventurers breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt admiration for each other's determination and courage. "Hahhhh... Hahh
*** In the negotiation room, a tense atmosphere prevailed as Kazuki put forth his opinion. "Aizen, I understand that your plan has good intentions," Kazuki said calmly, "but I have a different idea that might be more effective." Aizen stared at Kazuki in surprise but allowed him to explain. "What do you propose, Master?" Kazuki elaborated on his plan in detail, outlining how they could seek assistance from Hermit, the Head of the Adventurer's Guild in Nivaria City. "I believe that we can gain broader help and information through Hermit's network. Additionally, we can conduct our investigation more covertly this way." Aizen pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement. "You make a valid point. Let's involve Hermit in our efforts." *** Kazuki and Aizen agreed to invite Hermit to the headquarters of the War Division. Hermit was a wise and experienced individual who possessed extensive knowledge about the situation in Nivaria City. At least, he understood Nivaria City far bett
Sruuppttt... "Ahhhhh~" The morning sunlight streamed through Kazuki's bedroom window as he sat at his neatly arranged desk, sipping his coffee. Stare Stacks of reports and balance sheets lay scattered on his laptop in front of him, reflecting a busy activity after the thrilling meeting last night. Ring~ Ring~ Ring~ Suddenly, the communicator on his desk vibrated, but it wasn't an ordinary message; it was an emergency message. "Hmmm...? What's going on?" Kazuki quickly grabbed it and read the message. His face turned serious as he read the news about a vampire attack in the city of Nivaria and injured members of the War Division! "Vampire attack... and injured members?" Kazuki mumbled to himself, slightly puzzled. Until now, he hadn't known about this. Nevertheless, the situation seemed very serious since it warranted an emergency message. He knew they wouldn't use an emergency message unless the issue was beyond their control. He knew quick and precise action was required.
*** "Koga-!! Get over here and attack the bastard attacking from the tree-!!!" Koga roared madly when he realized that the attacks launched by these vampires were very diverse. "Okay-!!" Without much ado, Aizen immediately pointed his magic staff at the vampire and shouted, "Phoenix Rebirth-!!" In an instant, Aizen conjured a massive fireball with a diameter that was extremely large and directed it towards the vampire with a devastating power-!! Fireburst-!! Burn-!! However, the vampire easily dodged it. But before he could place his foot on the tree branch beside him, suddenly an arrow coated with white light pierced his heart. Thud- Crunchhhh-!!! "Aggghhhh-!!!!" Crash-!! And then, the vampire collapsed to the ground. Aizen glanced to his side, seeing that there were still around 12 vampires remaining that they needed to eliminate in order to secure their safety and gather information about them. "Aizen-!! Behind you-!!" Smirk... Hearing that, Aizen smiled slightly an
Kazuki showcases his expertise. All of his ideas and concepts in creating this game silence those who sneered at him. "The technology that can scan the brain and intricately map it into a computer, this is the technology successfully developed by America. Then, for the data processing part, the Chips from China are the best as they can process data much faster than other chips. And then the steps we need to take for..." Impressed- The implementation of VRMMORPG technology requires numerous trial runs, especially considering that the market reach of The Utopia will encompass the entire world. With this conference, Kazuki can attract numerous potential individuals from all around the globe to join him and expedite the perfection of the game. Infrastructure development, server maintenance, full dive creation, marketing, management, and other aspects require at least millions of human resources for that-!! Which will bring about a vast field of employment opportunities for the masses-
*** Actually, 12 hours before the major meeting at the UN headquarters, Kazuki met someone through his connection with President Ronald. That person was Chairman Bradley, the Secretary-General of the UN. "W-what did you just say... you abducted them all, then controlled them-?!!!!!!!" Bradley shouted in disbelief, echoing in his quiet living room. Kazuki activated his "God of War" skill, causing Bradley to feel the aura and shiver in fear. “…!!!” In his own home's room, Bradley now resembled a trapped mouse facing its predator. "Bradley, if we eliminate the de facto power of a country within the UN, you are the highest-ranking person in the world. If you were given two choices, the first being a human, or the second being a demon, which would you choose?" Kazuki calmly said while crossing his arms. "What-what is that? Obviously, I would choose the first one." Grinned...!! "Huhuhuhuhhh, good! You've given the right answer. You know, in the world of politics, there are no etern
*** A significant news resurfaced, with world leaders arriving one by one in their private planes to attend a major meeting at the United Nations headquarters. Chairman Bradley, the Secretary-General of the UN, confirmed the truth of this news as he was suddenly contacted by all the world leaders to prepare for the meeting. "What is your response to the disappearance of the previous world leaders?" a reporter asked Bradley as he walked into the building. Shaking his head lightly, Bradley replied, "I don't know, and I don't intend to inquire about that from them either." The questions then shifted to other matters. Everyone wondered about the reason behind this sudden meeting. The current atmosphere was one of contentment due to the cessation of warfare, but the sudden news reignited fear among many as they speculated about the new topic that would be discussed in the meeting. It remained uncertain whether they would discuss war or something else that might be detrimental. And wit
