2024-10-29 19:42:56Wow, ten lighters—this is great; I am glad I brought more than enough lighters with me, Hudson thought.
Hudson removed his backpack and placed it on the counter as he brought out ten lighters from inside the bag. As he brought them out, Atticus saw that he had multiple lighters in his bag.
"Wow, it seems like you have enough lighters," Atticus said.
"Yeah, I am a businessman, and selling lighters is part of the products I sell," Hudson replied as he counted out ten lighters and dropped them on the counter as he closed his backpack and wore it on his back.
"That’s cool, these lighters are revolutionary to us here in this town," Atticus said as he carried a huge brown bag from behind the counter and dropped it on the table in front of Hudson.
From the sound the bag made, Hudson could tell that the bag contained gold coins. Atticus carried an empty bag and placed it near the bag as he opened the bag containing the gold coins.
"You sold the last lighter to me for 100 gold coins, but now that I am purchasing ten lighters, why don’t you give me a discount?" Atticus asked, raising an eyebrow.Hearing that Hudson was a bit furious inside, as he thought that Atticus must have lost his mind for asking for a discount, but he realized that Atticus was his first customer and concluded that he should give him a discount.
"Alright, I will give you a discount. I will sell each of the lighters for 90 gold coins. How does that sound?"
A smile curled across Hudson’s lips. "That will be 900 gold coins in total. Sounds good," Atticus replied. He started counting the gold coins one at a time as he put them in the empty bag.
***
When Atticus was done counting the gold coins into the second bag, he shifted the bag over to Hudson. "There you go, all 900 gold coins are complete," Atticus said with a smirk.
"Thanks a lot; it was nice doing business with you, but can I introduce another product to you? It is something that can serve as a light." Hudson replied with a smile. He wanted to advertise the candle to Atticus and see whether he would be interested in purchasing it from him.
"I can’t promise I will purchase it, but go ahead," Atticus said bluntly as he folded his arms together.
"Alright," Hudson removed his backpack and took one candle from inside and placed it on the counter.
He also took out a lighter. "This thing in front of you is called a candle; I invented it myself; it can be used as a source of light in darkness; let me demonstrate," Hudson said as he lit the candle with the lighter.
Atticus mouth opened wide; he couldn’t believe what he was seeing—the only sources of light they have in the darkness are large central fireplaces and flaming torches. They haven’t discovered candles or any other source of light in the darkness.
"Holy Magnitoz! What type of magic is this?" Atticus asked in a rumbling tone.
"This is no magic; I invented it myself, but I can’t tell you how I did it, but this can last up to 7 hours," Hudson answered. His reaction to the candle is priceless. I never thought I would ever meet a human that would be this surprised to see a candle in my life, Hudson thought.
Atticus started to become suspicious of Hudson because he had never seen a candle or a lighter in his life, and Hudson conveniently had them and claimed he invented them.
"What part of Magnitoz are you from, and are you sure you are not some type of level 100 magician?" Atticus inquired, raising a questioning eyebrow.
"No, I am not a magician, I promise; these are all items I created by myself with the use of nature," Hudson answered.
"So, how much do you want to sell the candle for? I’m interested,"
"I will sell it for 50 gold coins," Hudson answered without hesitation; he didn’t want to put a huge price on the candle.
“I will buy it and use it and see how it is," Atticus replied as he counted out 50 gold coins from a drawer that was behind the counter and gave them to Hudson.
"It was nice doing business with you, Atticus," Hudson said with a smile as he stood up.
"Same here," Atticus replied as he shook Hudson’s hand.
"See you some other time," Hudson said as he turned around and left the shop.
****
Hudson kept all the gold coins he had gotten from Atticus inside his backpack as he walked down the street with a smile.
This is great; I never would have thought that the guy I sold the first lighter to would be the one to buy ten more lighters from me. 950 gold coins would be worth around 76,000 dollars back in my world; that is insane; I can’t believe I made that much money within just an hour of being here. If I continue at this pace, I might just be a millionaire in no time, Hudson thought.
He still wanted to make sales of the remaining lighters and, if possible, sell the candles and the cigarettes he bought, although he still had going to the magical academy at the back of his mind.
****
Meanwhile, in Atticus shop,
"Balthasar!" Atticus screamed. He was sitting behind the counter at the end of the shop.
Suddenly, a huge man that was wearing a long red robe entered the store through the back door that was behind the counter.
"Yes, my lord," Balthasar said in a deep, raspy voice. Balthasar had dark hair and looked like he was in his late 20s. He is one of Atticus slaves and a level 10 magician.
Atticus turned to look at Balthasar. "The fellow that sold that lighter to me the other time just left my shop a few moments ago; I bought ten lighters from him and a new product he showed me. These lighters are going to be good for business; with these lighters, I don’t think anyone in this town would need to buy the magical match. I don’t think the guy knows what type of product that lighter is. So, I want you to go and attack him and steal the bag he is carrying behind his back," Atticus stated boldly, staring into Balthasar's dark green eyes.

"Is that all, my lord?" Balthasar inquired calmly."Yes, and if he tries to resist you or fight back, make sure you kill him and don’t get caught. You can corner him in a dark location, but make sure you come back with the bag," Atticus instructed. After that, he described Hudson to Balthasar and told him Hudson’s name, just in case."OK, I should head out now," Balthasar said as he attempted to leave the store."One more thing, I don’t think he knows any magic, so he is not that big of a threat," Atticus stated in a rumbling tone."OK, my lord," Balthasar replied. After that, he went out of the shop.Atticus clasped his hands on the table in front of him. "That lad must be very foolish to think he can just come into this town with such instruments and think he would go back to wherever he came from freely. I am Atticus, Lord of the 16th! I only make profits," Atticus said out loud.******Hudson was walking down the street with a bright smile as he looked around. He was still ponderi

"I am sorry, my lord," Balthasar apologized as he raised his head to look at Atticus; his lips were trembling. He was scared to look at Atticus."I gave you a simple task and you couldn’t get that done; that bag could have changed everything around here. Get out of my sight at once!" Atticus screamed.Balthasar did a half bow as he went out of the shop through the back door behind Atticus.Atticus sat down behind his counter, placed his hands under his chin, and let out a long sigh.Balthasar failed me; those lighters and the things in that bag would have been very valuable and would have made me a lot of money. I should have gone to retrieve the bag myself, but if I had done that and failed, Hudson would have known I was the one after the bag and wouldn’t want to deal with me again. I hope after this incident he will still come around; I still need to get my hands on those lighters, Atticus thought.*********Hudson was walking down the street with the map of the city spread across h
HUDSON EMPIRE BUILDING SYSTEM THE MYSTERIOUS MAGICIAN
Suddenly, he saw about three students walking past the front gate. He quickly thought that he should walk up to one of them and ask about the academy. As he was about to take one step forward, he felt a strong force dragging his legs backwards."What the hell is pulling me backwards!?" Hudson screamed as he turned to look behind him.A man wearing a long dark coat with a hood that was covering his head was dragging what seemed like an invincible rope backwards. And from how the rope was dragging Hudson backwards, he could tell that the man was the one pulling him backwards."Who are you? And why are you pulling me backwards?" Hudson asked in a rumbling tone.Suddenly, the man stopped pulling him and removed the invincible rope from his leg. Hudson could feel that the rope was no longer around his leg.The man walked slowly over to where Hudson was, removed the hoodie from his head, and looked at Hudson with his dark green eyes. "You are not a student in this academy, so why are you tr
HUDSON EMPIRE BUILDING SYSTEM LEARNING A LEVEL 1 MAGIC
Suddenly, Ajax started waving hand signs, and then a brown bowl that contained water appeared in front of them. Hudson stepped backward in shock as he saw the bowl. He didn’t expect a bowl of water to appear out of thin air just like that."What are we going to do with this?" Hudson asked, raising a curious eyebrow."This is going to be the first magic I am going to teach you. I want you to turn this ordinary water into very hot boiling water and wave it around after that," Ajax responded coldly, staring at the bowl of water."Huh?" Hudson mumbled as he raised his eyebrows in disbelief. He couldn’t comprehend how he was supposed to turn the water into boiling water."Yes, you are going to do it. I will show you the hand signs you are going to wave and how you are going to wave the water after that. First, I will teach you by showing you a demonstration. Make sure you look at what I am doing slowly and follow my movements," Ajax said as he shifted his focus over to the bowl of water.

*******The following morning,Hudson was walking down the road with one hand on the handle of his backpack. After waking up, he swiftly got ready and left the motel. He had booked the room he spent the night in for an extra two days, and he knew he would need somewhere to stay since he was going to be spending more than 48 hours in the magical world.He wanted to go and look for a spot where he could sell the remaining lighters and possibly the other items he brought to the magical world. As he was walking, a thought hit him. He took down his backpack and brought out his map. He looked at the spot where the motel was located on the map, as he was not that far from the motel. He then traced his steps from the motel to a local park that was nearby. He then saw a park with the name Grimm Park that was not too far from the motel.This is good, I hope I see people to sell to in this park, he thought as he closed the map and kept it inside his backpack.***Hudson arrived in front of the p

"Time to go and find Ajax; if I am going to be learning magic and going on missions relating to magic, I will have to enroll in the magical academy," he mumbled to himself. *** Hudson didn’t leave the motel with his map, as he was now familiar with the location where the academy was located. Hudson arrived in front of El Chante de Magnitoz. He looked at the tall building. After that, he shifted his gaze over to the black card and remembered that Ajax told him to rub the card on his forehead before he would appear. Hudson rubbed the card on his forehead. I will just have to wait now; I have done what he had asked me to do, he thought. After a few moments, Hudson felt a hand on his shoulder. He swiftly turned to look behind him and saw that it was Ajax. "Hi Ajax," Hudson said with a smile. "Hey Hudson, I got the message from the card I gave you," Ajax replied with a smirk. He was wearing a black garment that had a hoodie at the back. "So, how may I be of help this morning? You want

Hudson started enchanting hand signs and started boiling the water. A few moments later, hot water vapor started coming out of the water. Hudson then started waving signs and brought out the water from inside the bowl and waved it across the sky. After that, he dropped the water back into the bowl and stopped the magic. He turned to look at Agatos and Ajax and did a half-bow.Ajax started applauding him, while Agatos was staring at Hudson with a pale, emotionless face. Agatos shifted his gaze over to a wooden board that was in his hands and ticked off the first test on it."You did good; you passed the test; now let’s move on to the second test," Agatos said in a rumbling tone, staring at Hudson."The second test is for a student in the academy to vouch for you; do you have any friends in that academy that can vouch for you?" Agatos inquired, raising an eyebrow."Yes, I do," Hudson responded calmly."Okay, tell Ajax the name of the student so that he can go and call the person to come
HUDSON EMPIRE BUILDING SYSTEM MAGICAL WORLD HISTORY
***After showing Hudson around the academy, Ajax took him over to his office as they got in. Hudson noticed that the office was filled with a lot of strange things that looked like magical instruments. They both sat down in front of a long, huge desk that was in the middle of the office."Now what do you think about the academy so far?" Ajax asked, staring at Hudson. Meanwhile, Hudson was busy looking around the office."It’s great; I can’t believe such things exist; it’s like a dream come true," Hudson responded as he shifted his gaze back to Ajax."Yeah," Ajax muttered.Hudson turned to look at Ajax with a focused look on his face. "Now, there has been something that I have been really curious about," Hudson said calmly."What is it?" Ajax inquired."Is it everyone in the city that is a magician? Or some?" he asked, raising an eyebrow."Why ask such a strange question? I thought you came from far away; don’t some people have magic and others don’t down there?" Ajax questioned. He f

With all this information, I would like for you to pick inside one of the two options that I’m giving you. One is either you get ready for war in the next three days as me and my men will be invading your city, two is either you come to my palace tomorrow with 3,000,0000 gold coins and 500 of your men that are going to be working under my kingdom. There are no negotiations, if I don’t see you in my palace tomorrow, I’m going to assume that you picked war. Have a nice day,” Ajax ended the letter.After that, he sealed it up and gave it to the guard that was standing in front of him.“Your job is to deliver that letter to King Julius, after you give the letter to him, get out of there and head back straight away,” Ajax instructed. After that, he dismissed the guard.Hu

“Sounds perfect,” Ajax muttered.“Now I want you all to move back from the prisoners,” Ajax said in a rumbling tone as he stood up. Telling them to move back didn’t entail that they should leave the room. So, they understood his orders perfectly.Ajax came down from his throne and walked toward the men who were kneeling on the floor including Hercules.“Now, I can tell that you lots are not from this city, hence why none of you know magic and couldn’t even dress accordingly like a true Magnitoz citizen. That must mean that you all are from Human Valley, so, I would like for you all to help me understand who sent you here and why did you target my guards,” Ajax said in a rumbling tone as his voice echoed throughout the room.All the men were quiet, they were now four in number including Hercules. “Are none of you going to speak!” Ajax screamed with his eyebrows tightly pressed together. Hudson and the guards that were in the room were all quiet. They could sense how angry Ajax was.Aja

‘Oh my goodness, could it be Julius’s men behind these attacks? Does that mean that Julius is trying to start a war with me? I don’t think he would want to start a war though. I will have to give him the benefit of the doubt, if I catch one of those men tomorrow, I will interrogate him and get the information I want out of him. I will have to get to the bottom of all of this, Ajax thought.***Meanwhile, inside a large bush that was filled with a lot of men, they were the 50 trained men that Julius had deployed in Magnitoz city and their leader was a 35-year-old man named Hercules, he was about 7 feet tall and built with a lot of muscles. They had killed 23 of the men that Ajax sent to them and dumped their bodies in the river that was at the back of the bush. Hercules was told that two of the men escaped from them.“Listen up everyone!” Hercules screamed calling all their attention over to him.“Yes, commander!” They all answered in unison as they shifted their attention over to Herc

FUTURE DATE
“You are right honey, this is what we are going to have to be doing now,” she replied with a smile. After that, Hudson told her goodbye as he ended the call. He sat down on the chair.***Later in the night,Hudson was lying on his bed; he was scrolling through his contact list as he saw Maddy’s contact and remembered that he hadn’t called her just like he promised her he would. Also, Hudson had an idea for a second date that he planned for when he got back from the magical world from his mission. He dialed her number and placed the phone on his ear. After a few rings, Maddy answered the call.“Hey Maddy, how are you doing?” He asked in a loving tone.“I’m doing fine and you?”“Fine, you know, I’m sorry I didn’t call you yesterday, I was occupied with a lot of things,” he said calmly.“Nah, don’t worry, it’s fine, I was also occupied with a lot of things,” she replied.“Cool, you know, I had a lot of fun time with you, and I have an idea for a second date, I don’t know if you would be

“I will do it, I will hang out with Maddy and go with the flow, I won’t think about secrets for now,” he said gazing into her eyes. Tricia let his head go as she stood up.“That’s good, just let everything flow for now,” she replied. She was happy that Hudson was going to lose up about the whole thing and let everything flow with Maddy.“I will be heading down to the dining table to set up dinner, I will call you when I’m done,” she said attempting to leave the room.“Okay Mom,” he muttered. After that, Tricia went out of the room.‘My mom must want me to get close to Maddy or even be dating her or she just wants to see me dating a woman or be happy, I don’t know which might be the case, but I am happy to oblige, I truly do like Maddy. I don’t know why I have never tried going on a date before, but I felt alive talking to Maddy today, and talking to a woman other than my mom is not that bad. I did feel a lot of sexual tension with her, even if I am still a virgin’ Hudson thought.As h

"Yes, I have been in love three times before and in three relationships overall. My last relationship ended five months ago; he was very toxic and abusive. It took a lot for me to get out of the relationship because I loved him a lot, but after I gathered the courage to leave him, since then I haven’t been able to get back into the dating pool as I had poured all my efforts and myself into my work. But I will say this: I am attracted to and interested in getting to know you," she stated calmly, staring into Hudson’s eyes.Hudson smiled upon hearing the last words she said. ‘I wish it were that easy for me to let her into my life; I wish it were that easy, but I am not sure she would be able to handle the truths that come with being in my life, and I am sure if she got to know the type of person I am, she wouldn’t want to stay or even believe what I actually do for a living’ Hudson thought."I am equally attracted to you and interested," he replied. ‘It’s not bad after all; I am glad m

***Hudson arrived in front of a fancy restaurant that had bright fancy lights all over the place. As he entered the restaurant, the sound of classic music hit him, and that was when he realized that the restaurant was not a regular restaurant. Hudson looked around and saw multiple people occupying the tables in the restaurant. He looked around to see if he could spot the description of the lady that his mom gave him and a lady that was sitting alone. Hudson spotted a table where a blonde woman was sitting alone, and from the way she was sitting, he could tell that she was short. "That’s definitely her," he mumbled as he ambled over to the table."Good afternoon, are you Maddy?" He asked with a smile. She raised her head to look at him as she realized that it was Hudson; she had seen photos of him that Tricia had sent to her prior to the date."Yes, I am. Have a seat. It’s nice to finally meet you, Hudson," Maddy said with a bright smile. She was wearing a red dress with bright crysta

"For this particular job, I will get it done for 20,000 dollars," Joshua responded."Sounds good. When do you think you are going to get it done?" Hudson inquired. Joshua assured him that he was going to get it done within three days. After that Hudson escorted him out of the house as Joshua carried the bags of gold coins with him."I look forward to doing a lifetime of business with you," Hudson said in a rumbling tone. As Joshua was heading towards the gate."Me too, sir!" Joshua replied.***Later in the afternoon, Hudson was getting ready in front of the large mirror that was inside his closet. He wanted to head over to the mall and get the items for his shop in the magic world."Hudson, where are you?" Tricia called out to him. Hudson was shocked to hear his mom’s voice; he didn’t think that she would be home at this time of the day."I’m in here, mom!"

"Yeah, you are right; do you know any goldsmith?" Hudson asked, hoping that she would know a goldsmith.Tricia told him that she doesn’t know any, but that Hudson could look for one himself and that Goldsmith is everywhere online. After that, they both agreed that Hudson would look for a goldsmith himself, negotiate everything with the person, and then keep in touch with the goldsmith."It is settled then; you are going to work on getting a goldsmith," Tricia said, staring at Hudson. She noticed a sad look on Hudson’s face. ‘I don’t think Hudson is himself at all; he looks down. I think I should do something nice for him, something that would lift his spirit’ she thought."Yeah, I will start doing the research tonight," he replied. Tricia stood up from the couch."I should get going back to the restaurant; I need to get a few things done. We will catch up in the night when I’m back," she said with a smirk. Hudson stood up as he hugged her, and after that, Tricia went out of the house.
