Starting Up

With that, they were ready to go.

James transformed into a bull, he was huge as the last time, but lightning is flickering in his body now.

When Dave was going to ride him, James dodged at lightning speed.

"Why did you dodge?" Dave tilted his head.

"You were going to ride me right?"

"Yep, what's wrong with that?" Dave was confused.

"I'm the prince of the Ybelal kingdom! How dare you to ride me!"

That's true, but I need to ride him...

"Buut it would take so long if I'm only using my power! Do you want to be stuck here for long? Because I'm slow." Dave begged.

"No."

"Your, would be delayed If I don't ride you, pleaseee."

"Still a no."

"If I'm not in the lead you won't know the kingdom place!"

".... No."

"Please?" Dave tried his best to show a puppy face.

James felt like an ass now, he felt annoyed but he felt like he was evil now.

James then gave up "Fine but just this once!"

Dave finally can ride him after his persuasion.

He got up to James and felt awesome.

'I'm riding a royal bull, hehe.

Without saying anything, James set off.

James was very fast, he almost fell off because of the speed that he is going, it reminds him of that one nightmare cart.

But worse since he got no protection whatsoever, good thing he is stronger now.

without a problem they arrived at the end of the forest, he could see the carriage in the distance, he finally got out of the forest, He doesn't know why but he felt great to be in the desert again.

"Go My Loyal Steed!" Dave was too excited to think he unconsciously said that to James.

James went mad and threw Dave into where the carriage is!

"Oh, sh*t" He flew very fast and then smashed right beside the carriage.

"Enemy attack!" One of the warriors shouted he took his blade beside him.

All of them picked up their weapon and looked around.

They were panicking because it was too sudden.

Dave came out from the ground. He looked around and saw everyone was vigilant.

He then greeted them "Hey It's me!"

Everyone turned around and saw Dave, they were all wary.

"Is he an Illusion?! But we're already out of the forest?" a warrior was panicking.

Then a Mage replied "Wait... We might be still in the forest, and the desert was an Illusion!"

Everyone was shocked they tried any means to wake themself, but not to avail it didn't work.

After all, Dave was the real deal.

"I'm going to do what people called a great move! I'll kill myself if I'm gone, is not real alright?!" Robert announced, everyone was looking at him as a madman, Robert was preparing to slice his head off.

But of course, it was stopped by Dave, "Are you f*cking insane?"

"Wait, you are real?" Robert was shocked.

"Of course you dumbass you think I'm dead?!"

Everyone then sighed in relief.

"What happened when I was gone?"

Dave was confused as to why they were seeing illusions.

Neal then explained to him "So it's like this... We were doing well, but we suddenly were in an Illusion, we hallucinate things, and then we almost died there, the mage woke up first then they woke up the warriors, although it was fast, it was still dangerous for us... when in a dream we cannot move, and the predator almost ate us, that's why we were scared, we thought that we were in mass illusions, and so as you can see Robert doing things, he thought he could get out by that Method..."

He could see that Neal was truly terrified if none could break the illusion they would be eaten without them knowing.

Now he understands why he didn't get illusions when going out of the forest because James is too fast they didn't get illusions at all.

"So where is the mine?" Dave asked.

"There." Shak said while pointing towards the mine.

"you already started mining?"

"Yes, but we are in the process of making the mineshaft."

Then the rumbling sound of thunder can be heard, it was heading their way.

"Do not attack!" Dave commanded.

"Why? that beast caught us off guard that time but this time I will kill it!" Robert activated his mark, making his skin golden colored, he jumped straight to the beast.

Dave jumped to intercept Robert and stopped him with a punch, there is just too much difference in power.

"I said stop!"

Robert looked at him "Why?"

Dave explained that James was cursed before, and that's why he went rampage, and he told them that is the prince of Ybelal.

"What? are you serious?!" Neal was shocked because he knew it's been a hundred years since the fall of the Ybelal Kingdom.

"Anyway, This guy is our friend now, so make sure to be nice to him." he said as he patted James.

'He really is fit to be a king, powerful people are gathering around him...' Neal thought, he then sighed in relief.

"So king where would we place our kingdom?" Neal smiled.

"Right here!" Dave smiled too.

"Wait... Here?" Everyone was shocked.

"Of course We got mines right there, wood right here, This is the best place here! Why do you say otherwise?" Dave replied.

"Well... The forest is dangerous and you know..." Neal whispered to him.

"No worries, with James here, all of the creatures of the forest would be scared of him, and the forest would be a good place to train our soldiers, hehe."

Some of them shivered because they wanted to become soldiers of the kingdom of Akath... but now they have to think twice before enlisting in the army, Because they know how dangerous the forest is.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Start building! earth Mage And the civilians can make the house with the wood! The mage can make the Foundation, and then the civilians can make the house! Warriors take one mage with you and go chop some trees! As for others, try to expand the mines! We will need it!"

"Yes, your Majesty!" Everyone shouted and started working.

His kingdom is finally going to be built.

[Ding]

*You have obtained 5000 points!*

"Wait, the kingdom is still isn't built though.."

"Yes, but I think it's proper to give it to you now since you need to buy the blueprint and all..."

"Ho? Are you forcing me to buy?"

"...."

'Damned system ruined the mood...' He shook his head and then decided to check the shop after all the system was correct.

Wait... I don't need a blueprint for the building! I'm a goddamn Architect, I don't need those blueprints...

"Damn system, are you trying to rob me?" Dave was angry.

"The system is honest, It's just you are too stupid to remember that."

I can't retort... Anyway building is important, I should go sketch some blueprint since there is no computer and stuff. I need to make it easy to read since not everyone could read it if I make a blueprint like my last life...
