Chapter 13- Upgrades
Bryan, clandestine in his acquisition of the villa, navigated the winding roads to the secluded property, all while harboring the secret from his unsuspecting mother. Gratitude washed over him, knowing that her unawareness spared him from potential consequences.As he pulled up to the grandeur of his newly acquired residence, thoughts swirled in Bryan's mind about orchestrating his mother's departure from the country. The intricate plan loomed ahead, requiring careful execution.Upon entering, Bryan encountered Zephyra, patiently awaiting his arrival. The mere sight of her evoked a flood of emotions, and he couldn't contain the overwhelming urge to cry. Wrapped in a heartfelt embrace, Bryan found solace in releasing the pent-up emotions that had gripped him.After the tears subsided, a wave of realization washed over him. Embarrassment took hold as he acknowledged the unexpected vulnerability he had displayed before Zephyra, his once-disliked boss, now a recipient of his unabashed emotions.After calming down, he separated from the hug but couldn't look his boss straight in the eye.{Author; when I wrote the above paragraph, it sounded somehow and I used Ai to refurbish it and now it's still sounding off as it's not my writing style.}"Get over it" Zephyra said as she watched his cheek puffed up in embarrassment."I trust you, so I will give you this. See what you can do with it." Zephyra patted the documents on the table."You and Winston will be working together. For now, he would be the face of Evernight while I am away. Start up a new company with the information and see how far you can go. I will come and get the products from you soon.Also, don't forget to cultivate some people and use those pills as written. Remember, the world is changing." Zephyra disappeared in front of him, leaving Bryan to his thoughts.…………..Whoosh!!!Zephyra arrived back at Eldoria and noticed them still on the floor."Aish… it seems like I have only gone for a while" she muttered while checking the time which is located at the top right corner of the panel interface.Zephyra waved her hand and used her water elemental powers to cleanse them while using the wind to carry them back to the tent.In Zephyra 's first life, she had space, wind and earth as her spirit root and in the second life as an alchemist, she had fire and water.Now she has five of them with the addition of time.She had only tested it for a while but couldn't control it as of now.After her journey to the modern world, she had learned to sense time distortion.Zephyra looked at her territory and muttered under her breath.Time for upgrades.She had gotten a lot of materials from her hunt and her journey to the modern world, especially processed herbs.Once she was done with the upgrades, she would refine many pills for making deals with potential big wigs.She opened the territory panel.[Territory Name; Evernight][Territory Level: Level 1][Building Effect: The Lord’s residence. At the same time, it is also the place where theTerritory Token is kept.][Construction Upgrade: 20 units of wood, 20 units of fine sand, 20 units of stone, 20 unitsof metal, 2 level 2 core][Territory Construction: Lord’s Wooden House (Level 1), Gate of Summoning (Level 1 )][Lord Talent: Dispossessor ( Unique)]For every 25 levels, a unique property would be added to the building and the tier would increase.Right now, she was just a measly tier one territory owner."Now time to upgrade"Zephyra clicked on the upgrade button.A white light flashed and the territory changed.Five more buildings were added and the protective shield expanded.Territory Name; Evernight][Territory Level: Level 1][Building Effect: The Lord’s residence.

Let's upgrade some more, but it seems that the core will be hard to get since not every animal has a core."[You're even more of a child than me. Must I remind you of everything.]Zara's voice sounded annoyed.Zephyra was confused, she did not think she had forgotten anything.[Use your talent, dumbass.]"Hey, am your master okay. You get that? Now which talent are we talking about?"Chapter 14- More upgradesShe clicked on the Forge and a building token materialized in her hand. The token had a metallic look with Forge written on it in the form of italics and level one below it."I already have the space, I can stay there to concoct some potion and pills. Let's upgrade some more, but it seems that the core will be hard to get since not every animal has a core."[You're even more of a child than me. Must I remind you of everything.]Zara's voice sounded annoyed.Zephyra was confused, she did not think she had forgotten anything.[Use your talent, dumbass.]"Hey, am your master okay. You get that? Now which talent are we talking about?"[Midas touch]Zephyra chuckled embarrassingly as she recalled the talent."Thank you" she had no excuse to go with, so she could only mutter a thank you.She brought out the things needed for upgrade and used the midas touch on them.For each object she touched, they released a blinding light.As she progressed, she felt more playfu
Chapter 15- Late upgrades and perks: Introduction of Villain and protagonist ∆ Arion : Arion has a cockroach-like life force, not only possesses the ability to choose which side story to highlight but also infuses this choice with an enduring resilience. Their unique life force grants them the capacity to witness the cyclical struggles between the Biggest Villain, Malachi, and the Biggest Protagonist, unscathed by the consequences of their choices.As Arion weaves the narrative, their indestructible nature becomes a symbol of continuity amidst the ebb and flow of protagonists and antagonists. The cockroach-like life force ensures that, regardless of the intensity of the highlighted side story, Arion persists as a constant, an eternal observer tethered to the essence of existence.This added element enhances Arion's role as a narrative anchor, emphasizing not only their neutrality but also their timeless connection to the unfolding events. The juxtaposition of their resilience with the
Chapter 16- Day 2; My ChildZephyra instinctively closed her eyes upon meeting with the sudden rays of sunlight pouring in from the window.She turned to her side, turning away from the incoming rays of light as she allowed her brain to boot before sitting upright in a lotus position.“Zara, did anything happen while I was asleep?” Zephyra said, yawning in-between her words.[Nothing serious. Your subordinates each went to different workshops available to take a look while I also slowed down the process of the puppet expedition.Since the puppets have no consciousness and are only following orders, it took a while to get them to understand what to do.Right now, I had them patrol around the surrounding area, sent some to mine with Zion following them and some guards.I also gave Zane some materials to begin making maps while Thyma would use the materials given to her to make clothes of all kinds.Also, I stopped the puppets from building more constructions, since, you may have the tok
Hey guys 👋🖐️, My editor has yet to review the work as I have corrected the mistakes which should be corrected.I have already reminded him about that and I hope it will be done soon.Don't leave the book just because of the mistakes, you can skip the chapters or ignore the mistakes and leave your review while also sharing it to your friends.Sigh.... I wanted to make this short and brief but since I can't publish it with less than 100 words, I would address other things.You may have noticed the use of AI in some chapters which I had used to do editing and I stopped halfway, cos after reading it, it did not sound like my writing style.It also reduced many words which I had used to express the emotion of the character. And yes, I didn't correct that even after the editing, I just made it try to fit into the story without spoiling the novel.I hope you like it and enjoy the novel. Show me love by sharing to your friends😌 and leaving a review while not forgetting to add to your Libra
Chapter 17- Future Zara and two bundles of joy Hey lovelies, I understand the novel is a little slow paced but I can't make it too fast paced either.I need to build a good world background, so you won't get confused.……………….“Do you wanna know why I'm here?” The lady who had similar features of Zara asked with a mischievous smile.The lady had an air of maturity, the smile added a touch of childishness with elegance radiating from her.Zara gazed at her in silence not showing her curiosity to know who she is and her mission or purpose.They looked at each other in silence waiting for one of them to give in.“Tch, aren't you worried about your host?” The acclaimed future Zara broke the silence.“Fine… I'm tired of pretending and it's a burden on me.” The future Zara spoke and turned into a short chubby boy.The chubby boy had emerald green eyes and purple hair just like Zara.“Who are you?” Zara who was quite cowardly became bolder after seeing the change though a little cautious.“H
Chapter 18- Revealing of Perks and Children.After Thyma left the room, Zephyra was now left alone with the two children.“Explain” she said as she glared at them.From a third person objective or view, it seems that Zephyra had quickly sunk into the role of being a mother.“Mum, it's not what you think” Zephyra raised an eyebrow at his words.Zara looked at her brother who looked quite stupid and her glaring mother. Not wanting the fire to burn her, she dove into her mother's embrace and wheedled.“Fine, explain. Am all ears.”…………..After a long explanation from Zeph, she got the gist of what happened.“You guys don't have to stay inside that space again. Since you both have my talent and can keep on growing, then, you can both take diverse routes.”“Now let's go introduce you to others. But before that, let's eat.” Zephyra said while bringing the food.After eating to her fill, she left the two bantering children and focused on her system.She opened the system panel and clicked on
Chapter 19: Unveiling and Unforeseen TwistsSorry for posting the chapter late. Had some issues with my network.I hope you enjoy this chapter and also introduce the novel to your friends and others.Don't forget to leave a review and comment 😉........................Zephyra and her children graced the stage, overlooking a small audience comprising only the five subjects and puppets."Greetings, everyone," Zephyra began, pondering how to address such a modest gathering. ‘It’s time I summon more subjects,' she mused."These are my Children." she declared, turning towards her children she beckoned on them to introduce themselves."Good morning, I'm Zeph Evernight. My mother, Zephyra Evernight, reigns over the Evernight territory," Zeph introduced, his childish tone laced with an underlying coldness."I'm Zara Evernight. As my brother mentioned, we're fraternal twins," Zara added with her tone carrying a touch of liveliness unlike her brother's underlying cold tone.As Zephyra prepare
Chapter 20- powder mix In another territory located not too far from Zephyra territory.By not too far, I mean more than 20 km.Casmir opened his tired eyes as he welcomed the new day.Yesterday after arriving he did not summon any subject but had concentrated on creating a very effective powder mix.He really doesn't know the physiology behind the powder mix as he had learnt it from Damien when he worked under him.The powder makes the animals experience the effect of the blood moon.Damien had used the trick against his enemies.The first time he heard of it was when Damien had called a truce with a kingdom close to his territory but how could the kingdom let go of Damien and his ability.Damien also did not plan to let them go since he needed a kingdom token to upgrade his territory.So, he created the powder then asked them to sprinkle it around the territory, using the thunderstorm birds, he dispersed the powder through air to bring out the effect of making all monsters within
Chapter 31- Major UpdateZephyra, Casmir and their respective subordinates came out of the ruin.Zephyra gazed at the ruin crumbling before her and the Ruin token in her hand with a smile.“It was nice working together with you.” Casmir stretched our hand to shake her.“Yeah. You too, you're quite witty. How about forming an ally?” She removed her hand from his and asked with a raised eyebrow.“Would love it too.” Casmir knew that allying with such a person was better than making her an enemy.༒𝕄𝔸𝕁𝕆ℝ 𝕌ℙ𝔻𝔸𝕋𝔼 ℂ𝕆𝕄ℙ𝕃𝔼𝕋𝔼𝔻༒The mechanical sound of the Eldoria System promoted their attention.They both temporarily stopped their discussion and shifted their focus to the Major Update.

Chapter 30 – The ruins.Zephyra gazed at the illusion before her with an inquisitive look.This is the first time she was seeing an illusion of this World - Eldoria. Casmir who was beside her wrinkled his brows before muttering under his breath.“Let’s go” Zephyra took the first step into the illusion which isn’t really an illusion too her, spreading out her powers, she covered everyone. Her mana turned into a dome shaped object that housed everyone in it.Zephyra wondered if she should let her subjects deal with the pawns of the ruins, but that would inadvertently reveal the levels of her subordinates.“Tsk” flicking her hand, the surrounding wraiths which had come to deal with her and her subordinates were dealt with.Casmir bore a look of awe and surprise on his face at the display of her might.Zephyra kept dealing with all the wraiths till they got to the core area where the guardian is located.Before her lay two gigantic doors with puppets on both sides.The door had a sleek de
Chapter 29- Casmir: Ruins and excavation.Zephyra looked at the groups of crowd before her and could not help but mutter under her breath.“When will this update be done? Did not expect it to be longer than I thought.”“Master, we are all set.” Grace said, interrupting her train of thoughts.She left the children in charge of the territory, while she led the ruins' exploration.Upon arriving at the said ruins, she encountered an unexpected sight.Before her was Casmir, who in the novel was an extra before he regressed and became one of the protagonists.“What's going on here?” Her melodious voice calmed the heated scene.“And you are?” Casmir gazed at the beauty in front of him, he felt the thumping heart against his rib cage and tried to calm it down while putting on a poker face to cover up his lust.“ Zephyra Evernight” Zephyra brought out her hand from the gloves she wore, to shake him.“Casmir Oscon” Zephyra raised an eyebrow at his unique name but said nothing.“Well, I wonder w

It grants a free 360° map of subsidiary territories and a shared market.As for the second feature, it is the standard exchange system.Now, one can only buy something of equal exchange except the person decides to use the gifting option.Zephyra glanced at her children who stood by her side.She had gone through the world plot with the help of Zeph and was now aware of many things.Her eyes flashed as she remembered something.She felt lucky for choosing the character template which she chose, because, if those
Chapter 26- Casmir territory and RuinsBright rays poured in from the open window revealing the young man on the bed.The young man squinted his eyes reacting to the ray of lights coming in.Brushing his hand through his white hair, he drew his lips into a smirk.His eyes looked out of place which had the same color as his hair.His eyes are not the kind you find everyday.Looking at his room, he could not help but click his tongue.“I need to upgrade my territory in two days, this is already the third day. I also need to be ready for the test.” He leaned against the headboard as he thought about his next step.“The materials I have for the upgrade aren't complete as of now, but should be complete by tomorrow.I also need to get more subjects and professionals.” He clicked his tongue as he thought about the matter of getting subjects and professionals.“I also need to hunt…..” his thought process which he muttered was cut short when he felt the presence of someone coming to his room.
Chapter 25- Character Template: Law of causation.Zephyra would have loved to tease her but she wasn't in the mood now, she felt something was wrong.Well something was really wrong but not here but in Eldoria.Zephyra bid them farewell and disappeared.Appearing back at her room in the Lord Manor, she was met with an announcement that caused her face to turn strange. ༒ [ World Wide Announcement] ༒ [A void Market has appeared in all regions.

So, technically she is the cause and these are the effects.Zephyra felt this wasn't what made her feel troubled, there is something else but she just couldn't place her finger on it.“Since it isn't what I can think of right now, the only solution is to be extra careful but not too careful to lose some opportunities.” H
