Eryndor sat, reviewing the battle's outcome. He hadn't personally participated in the battle due to the small number of enemies, but it seems the next time the humans and elves attack, he won't be so lucky.
"System, kindly give me a detailed report," he commanded. "Ding! Battle summary. Enemy casualties numbers to 500 humans, 300 elves. Goblin casualties numbers to 200. Host has earned 975,000 chaos point. Congratulations, Host! Your forces have achieved a decisive victory." Eryndor smiled, but it seems the system wasn't done yet. "Ding! Sixty goblins have leveled up to hobgoblins. Generals Vexar, Gorthok, and Kogar have leveled up to Goblin Dukes" Eryndor's grin widened. "Excellent! Now, let's invest our points." Eryndor knew that to survive against the next battle, they will need to change the way they do things. He sent a telepathic message to the system, "Purchase blueprints and plans for modern village development." "Ding! Blueprint purchased for 10 points." Eryndor called for Grimp. "Grimp, gather talented goblins and orcs in building and construction." Grimp bowed and left. He returned shortly. "My lord King Eryndor, I've gathered sixty goblins and forty orcs with construction skills." Eryndor nodded. "Lead me to them." Grimp guided Eryndor to a training area. A hundred monsters awaited. Eryndor stood before them. "Friends, our victory is just the beginning! We'll rebuild our village, stronger and better! Like the human kingdom, we'll have defenses to protect our home! I'll grant you the power to achieve this!" As the horde of goblins and orcs stood before Eryndor in confusion, Eryndo stretched out his hands. "System, impact the art of modern construction to these goblins and orcs." Eryndor sent a message to the system. The system responded in its usual mechanical voice, "Ding! That will cost the Host 5,000 points. 50 point per goblin or orc." Eryndor affirmed his decision and then bright light began to emit from his hands and envelope the goblins and the orcs. About ten seconds later, the bright light dispersed and the goblins and orcs looked at Eryndor with reverence in their eyes. They could not believe that Eryndor just imparted knowledge to them, a feat left only to gods. "Goblin Dukes Vexar, Gorthok, and Kogar will oversee construction!" Eryndor began dishing out instructions. "Hobgoblins, lead your teams! Together, we'll create a fortress worthy of our greatness!" The monsters roared, inspired. Eryndor continued. "Grimp, distribute the blueprints and plans." He handed out the blueprint to Grimp who took like it was a treasure handed to him from a god. "Begin construction immediately." Eryndor ordered. Grimp bowed. "Yes, my lord King Eryndor!" The village's transformation had begun. Here's the continuation of Chapter 21: King Eryndor returned to his palacial hut, lost in thought. He sat on his throne, contemplating the future. As a former military commander, he knew the elves and humans wouldn't give up. "They'll return, with a greater force," he muttered. Eryndor's brain began working on a plan. "How can I level the playing field?" He paced around the hut. "More troops? Better defenses?" But that wouldn't be enough. He needed something more. Eryndor stopped pacing. "I must return to Kryptoria." But this time, it wouldn't be easy, the city must be on alert against any elf of unknown origin. He needed a new identity. "A new name, a new face," he thought. Eryndor summoned the system. "System, I need to look different, what options for disguise and identity change do you have for me?." "Ding! Available options, Shape-shifting potion, temporal. Cost 2,000 points. Physical alteration, magical. Cost 5,000 points. Identity concealment charm. Cost 1,000 points." Eryndor considered the options. "System, recommend the best choice." "Ding! Physical alteration magical is recommended. Provides long lasting change, reducing detection risk." Eryndor nodded. "Proceed with the alteration." "Ding! Host needs to visualize whom he wants to change into." Eryndor didn't mind, he already had someone in mind. The system guided Eryndor through the process as energy swirled around him. His features changed. Eryndor gazed at his reflection. His former human self stared back.. Adam Hill. "New name?" the system asked. Eryndor didn't have to think. "Call me... Adam Hill." The system confirmed. "Ding! Identity changed. Name, Adam Hill." Eryndor, now Adam, smiled. "Time to gather intelligence and prepare for the next battle." By evening, King Eryndor, now Adam Hill, summoned his generals and Grimp. At first, they almost attacked him, but halted when they felt his familiar aura. They gathered around the fire, curious. "Friends, I have a new plan," Eryndor began. "I'm returning to the human kingdom." Grimp's eyes widened. "Your Majesty? But why?" Eryndor smiled. "This time, I'll infiltrate their palace." General Vexar's eyes lit up. "You'll gather intel on their plans?" Eryndor nodded. "Yes, and more. I'll join their military." Gorthok's jaw dropped. "Brilliant, Your Majesty!" Kogar grinned. "We'll learn their secrets." Grimp bowed. "Your courage and wisdom are unmatched, Your Excellency." The generals nodded in agreement. General Vexar spoke up. "We'll prepare for your departure." Eryndor stood up. "Begin constructing our village's defenses." Gorthok saluted. "We'll work day and night." Kogar vowed. "We'll make our village impregnable." Eryndor's eyes shone with pride. "With your loyalty and strength, our victory is certain." Grimp stepped forward. "We'll await your return, Your Majesty." Eryndor smiled. "Keep our village safe." The meeting ended. Eryndor's journey to the human kingdom would begin soon. That night, Eryndor left the goblin village, heading for Kryptoria. He traveled through the darkness, the battlefield looming ahead. Goblins tended to the fallen, burning the bodies. As Eryndor approached, they bowed. Although they didn't recognize the face of the human in front of them, they could feel the aura that only their King possessed. He nodded, acknowledging their respect. Eryndor continued on, memories of the first trip came floating back. He reached the spot where human slavers had ambushed him. A smirk spread across his face. "Time to return the favor," he thought. Eryndor decided to camp there, hoping the gods would smile upon him. "Bring me another slaver," he prayed silently. "I'll show no mercy this time." He settled in, his senses alert. The night air was tense, filled with possibilities. Malakai's eyes gleamed. "I'll collect their gold, and more." As he waited, Eryndor's thoughts turned to his mission. He was to infiltrate Kryptoria's palace, gather intel, join the military, rise through the ranks, learn their secrets, bring them down. The fire crackled. Eryndor's gaze scanned the surroundings. A twig snapped. He drew his sword, ready. Would fortune bring him another slaver? Eryndor's eyes never left the darkness. He was ready. Eryndor gripped his sword, ready to cast the flaming sword spell. Suddenly, a majestic wind-wolf emerged from the darkness. Eryndor lowered his sword, curious as to why the wind-wolf was so far from the village. The wind-wolf approached, its fur ruffling in the breeze. "Greetings, my lord King Eryndor," the wind-wolf said in a low, rumbling voice. Eryndor's eyes widened. "How did you recognize me?" The wind-wolf smiled. "Your scent remains, despite your new form." Eryndor chuckled. "I should have known." The wind-wolf explained. "I'm patrolling the area, ensuring no human or elven spies disrupt our goblins' work." Eryndor nodded in approval. "Your vigilance is appreciated." Eryndor could not be more grateful that other than him, the others were also taking the safety of the village into consideration. The wind-wolf bowed its head" "It's my duty, my lord." With a final glance, the wind-wolf vanished into the night. Eryndor sheathed his sword. The night had turned peaceful. He settled back, lost in thought. The wind-wolf's visit brought comfort. His people were protected. Eryndor became so sleepy. It wasn't long before sleep claimed him, his sword beside him. The night wore on, undisturbed. The wind-wolf's patrol ensured the area remained secure. Eryndor slept soundly, ready for the challenges ahead. The first light of dawn crept over the horizon. Eryndor stirred, stretching. Time to continue his journey. Kryptoria awaited.

Confusion swirled as he assessed his surroundings.How... how am I alive?Memories of the truck's impact still lingered, yet Adam felt no pain. He tentatively explored his body, finding himself intact. He could remember very well how his friends had betrayed him. They set him up, got him so drunk, which was suspicious, he never drank above his limit, which means they must have drugged his glass, and when he wasn't himself anymore, they took him outside in the guise of helping him get home, then they pushed him into the speeding truck. Totally unforgivable… But why was he still alive then?With a deep breath, Adam sat up, hands splayed on the damp earth. The ground's cool moisture seeped into his skin. Towering trees surrounded him, their trunks robust, leaves rustling softly.As Adam stood, a startling realization hit him.. He was taller, signific

As the sun began to set on the victorious battle, Eryndor and his goblin entourage made their way back to the village, carrying the lifeless bodies of the orcs. The goblins chattered excitedly among themselves, their eyes gleaming with pride and accomplishment. The spoils of war would provide them with a much-needed feast, and Eryndor knew that this would boost morale and bring the tribe closer together.Upon arriving at the village, Eryndor gathered the goblins around him. "Today, we proved our strength and resilience," he declared, his voice echoing through the ruined village. "But our work is far from over. We must rebuild and ensure our village is secure and prosperous."Eryndor's gaze fell upon Grimp, the battle-scarred goblin who had fought bravely alongside him. "Grimp, your loyalty and bravery have earned you a place by my side. From this day forward, you will serve as my second-in-command."Grimp's eyes widened in surprise, and he nodded solemnly, accepting the responsibility

They moved swiftly and silently, avoiding detection by the elven guards.As they approached the encampment of the goblin workers, Eryndor's anger grew. Before him lay rows of rusty cages, each filled with goblins. They huddled together, their eyes sunken, their skin pale and clammy. Malnutrition and mistreatment had taken its toll.With a quiet nod, Eryndor ordered his warriors to get to work. They moved from cage to cage, expertly picking locks and freeing the captives. The goblins blinked in confusion, unsure of what was happening.Grimp helped guide the freed goblins away from the cages, urging them to move quietly.

Arrows came from nowhere.""Many are dead, more injured."Princess Isabella's eyes widened."How many?"

Chapter 18. Preparation Of War
Eryndor arrived at the goblin village, tired from his journey. He could see the goblin village was still prospering even at his absence, truly Grimp was doing a wonderful job. The training goblins were happy to see their King return. He was their motivation.After having the usual meal of grilled meat and fruits, Eryndor summoned Grimp immediately.Grimp rushed in, concern etched on his face. He hadn't even known that Eryndor had returned."Eryndor, my lord," Grimp said, bowing.Eryndor nodded and then asked for a detailed report on the day-to-day affairs of the goblin village, which Grimp recounted, but then he hesitated when he got to a point. Eryndor could see the hesitation on his face.“What seems to be the problem?”"The elven army prepares to march against us," Grimp reported.Eryndor's expression did not change as Grimp had expected, rather Eryndor smiled.“I've been expecting that. It's not just the elves though." Eryndor said. "The human King has allied with them. Their armi
Chapter 17. Return
Eryndor stood tall, surveying the wind-wolf pack before him. The remaining wolves, now under his command, awaited his orders."Listen, wind-wolves," Eryndor began. "Take your young and march to the dark forest. Seek out Grimp, the goblin leader. Tell him I sent you."The wolves exchanged glances, then nodded.The female Alpha's sister, now the pack's leader, stepped forward. "We obey, Eryndor. What awaits us in the dark forest?""Protection and strength," Eryndor replied. "Grimp will provide for you. You'll become part of something greater."The wind-wolves howled, eager to begin their journey.As they gathered their young and set off towards the dark forest, Eryndor watched.Once they vanished over the horizon, Eryndor reached for the space pouch.A small, ordinary-looking pouch, it possessed a separate dimension.Eryndor had acquired it from the Adventurers Guild.He opened the pouch, revealing a vast, empty space.With a swift motion, Eryndor began storing the fallen wind-wolves in
Chapter 16. Pack Leader
Eryndor trekked across the Windy Plains, his eyes scanning the horizon for any sign of the wind-wolves' dwelling. He knew wolves often lived in caves, so he searched for any nearby.After hours of walking, he spotted a small cave in the distance. As he approached, he noticed wolf pups with shimmering silver fur playing outside.Eryndor's mission required ten wind-wolf hides. Using the pups as bait seemed like the most efficient way.He crept closer, trying not to startle them. The pups, oblivious to danger, continued playing.Eryndor swiftly grabbed one of the pups, its tiny body wriggling in his grasp. The pup yelped and whined, its siblings scattering.A ferocious growl echoed from within the cave, growing louder.Eryndor smiled grimly. His plan had worked.The Alpha wind-wolf emerged from the cave, its eyes blazing with fury.Eryndor held the pup firmly, his hand wrapping around its tiny mouth to silence its cries.The Alpha wind-wolf charged, its wind-manipulated speed sending dus

Morning arrived, and Eryndor woke up feeling refreshed. He stretched, smiling, as this was his first good night's sleep since arriving in Solaris.He headed to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, bathed, and changed into clean clothes.Downstairs, the innkeeper greeted him warmly. "Good morning! Breakfast is ready."Eryndor's curiosity grew. "What's on the menu?""Mashed potatoes with diced tomatoes, carrots, and a slab of boar meat," she replied.Eryndor's stomach rumbled loudly, as if on cue. The innkeeper chuckled."I think you're hungry! I'll add an extra plate for you."Eryndor grinned, embarrassed but relieved. "Thank you, I'm starving."The innkeeper smiled and led him to the dining area.As they sat down, Eryndor noticed the cozy atmosphere and the enticing aroma of food."Your cooking smells amazing," he said.The innkeeper beamed. "I'm glad you think so. My name is Elara, by the way.""I'm Eryndor," he replied, shaking her hand.Elara handed him a steaming plate. "Enjoy your me

Eryndor gazed calmly at the slavers. "Before we begin, could you tell me how to get to Kryptoria?"The burly man and his companions erupted into laughter."Look at this elf, wanting directions!" one of them chuckled.The burly man grinned. "You're on the right path, elf. A few klicks from here, you'll see Kryptoria's walls. Three silver coins for verification, that's all."Eryndor nodded graciously. "Thank you for your cooperation."With a simple wave of his hand, Eryndor unleashed his feral aura.The pressure pinned the slavers to the ground, their faces contorted in terror.They succumbed to fear, all fell unconscious and were out cold.Eryndor searched their pockets and bags."Now what do we have here?"His counted the silver coins which had the engraving of a dragon, and a single gold coin which also had the engraving of a dragon."Wow! That is a great haul! Three hundred silver coins. I recall that Adara mentioned that a hundred bronze coins is equaled to one silver coin, and one
