...
Cade stood rooted in front of a small house with a bewildered expression. As if he was not convinced enough, he pinched his thigh and slapped his cheeks just to make sure that everything was real!
"What in the world?!" He nearly screamed out loud.
He looked back at the small wooden house with a crooked orange roof and stone chimney. He then looked at the grassy area with a fire in the center. Behind the hut, he could also hear a loud snore that echoed repeatedly. On the left of the house, was a gold mine. And on the right was an elixir collector.
The screen window that was hovering in front of him further confirmed his thoughts!
"So I really have the CoC System!" Cade said to himself. He could only sigh and accept that he really was in a new world.
"Oh well, since I don't know what is going to happen next, I might as well get moving. Who knows, goblins might really come and attack." With a sigh, Cade went back inside the Town Hall.
Earlier, he found himself dozed off inside the Town Hall. As for why he was sent here, it was because he died.
He was playing CoC with his phone as he crossed the street when he was suddenly slammed by a speeding truck. When he woke up, he found himself taking a nap on the table.
Cade was a normal college student on earth. He just started his third year, but who would have thought that he would die in such a tender age of 21. Well, although it was technically not his fault, as he was in a pedestrian lane, his carelessness was still to be blamed.
He could only imagine his parents and siblings mourning for his death, especially his mother. But right now, Cade had more important things to do.
Surely, this was a new world, not some online game. And since the game is fantasy-themed, then the probability of this world being a magical place is very high. There could be goblins, orcs, monsters, dragons and many unknown.
...
Cade played the game for nearly 2 years. He even reached Town Hall Level 11 with all of his buildings maxed. So, of course, he already knew everything about the game like the back of his hand. But right now, he found himself confused if this was really a CoC system.
Well, there were actually not many changes on the interface, it was the content.
Just like the game, Cade could see an area of 40x40 space. There was the Town Hall, Builder's Hut, the Army Camp, and the Gold Mine. There was also a red dot right on the Town Hall, Cade figured that it indicated his position.
Since this was not a game anymore, all of those game functions were removed.
The attack button, the chat button, and all of the online buttons were removed except for the shop, achievements, trophy, setting, and the 2 bars that indicated how much gold and elixir and gems he had. The bar that indicated available Builders was also still there, and besides it was a bar that indicated Residents Limit and not the shield.
Cade then tapped on the Shop button, but when he opened it, he was surprised. (Please take note that the online stuff was removed.)
Instead of only four, it was instead six.
Army, Resources, Traps, Defenses, Houses (New), and Materials(New).
The problem is, instead of actually being buildings, the shop sold the materials and the blueprint.
"Interesting," Cade felt that the snoring behind the small house hot louder. "Looks like it is still the same, same content, just different pictures. I just need to buy those materials and the Builder will build it. Thankfully, the prizes are still the same. Well, unfortunately, the Town Hall limiter still applies." Since his town hall was still level 1, he could only access the thirteen buildings available. But still, he would have to have money to be able to buy them.
Cade suddenly frowned as he thought of a problem, "How the hell am I supposed to earn money if I can't attack other villages?! Will I have to actually wait for the Gold and Elixir mines for my resources?" But after a while of thinking, he concluded that since this is a new world, the people should have a currency of their own. And since this world looked pretty backward, gold and silver should be the current currency the people use.
No matter where you go, the beauty of Gold always attracts the eyes of anyone.
He tapped on what was tappable and was surprised to find a new function.
"So I can actually buy them separately. That's good, that's good." Cade heaved a sigh of relief when he found out that he could actually purchase the materials and the blueprints separately.
Cade then looked at the 2 new 'products' that were labeled as new, and what he saw surprised him.
The House had all kinds of houses. From a bungalow to the fanciest building. But Cade could not even bother to continue his grand dream after looking at the prices. Although the prices of the blueprints are only 1/4 of the total price, the materials listed were difficult to cough up in this backward world. Well, assuming that it is backward.
Cade then moved on to the Materials, and he was not really surprised by what he saw. The products were pretty simple. Such as woods, stone, and metals. But as he scrolled sideways, Cade was beginning to get surprised. After all, even cement, cloths, papers, plastics, and many more. But what really surprised him was that everything was available, there were no restrictions and all the products were purchasable by gold and elixir. That means he could buy them... if he had money.
"Wow!" Cade exclaimed from ecstasy as he smiled with satisfaction. "With this, I should be able to live my life with ease. But then again, who knows, a villain might come," said Cade jokingly to himself.
"Now, it's about time I begin building." Cade began to tap on the screen.
With his Level 1 Town Hall, Cade only had 1000 storage space for both of his resources. Thankfully, both were full, and that means that the Gold Mine and Elixir Collector would stop their operation. So right now, he had to buy Gold and Elixir Storage.
He tapped and bought the Gold Storage to see what happens and when he did, he was redirected to the map. Meaning, he had to choose the location where the storage will be built.
He confirmed it to right beside the Gold Mine and the materials were dumped in that area. Just to make sure, Cade went out to check, and indeed, the materials magically appeared there.
Suddenly, the snoring from behind the Town Hall that he was ignoring stopped. Then Cade heard footsteps coming towards him. He looked back and saw a man with large blue eyes. An extremely short man with a cheesy smile on his face. As if no matter what happened, that smile would never disappear.
The man wore a yellow-brown aviator hat, a brown sleeveless shirt, and leather-like pants and orange shoes. He also held a stone hammer on his right hand. The man was the Builder, a dwarf.
When the dwarf saw Cade, his smile turned even cheesier and he spoke.
"Boss, I hear you got a job for me?" Contrary to his appearance, his voice was quite husky.
Cade felt weird and shocked seeing the dwarf. He had seen some people with dwarfism, but he never saw some look that way. It was like he was seeing a dwarf One Piece character.
"Uhh... Ahem... I believe it's that one." Cade pretended to cough before pointing towards the pile of materials right beside the Gold Mine.
The dwarf turned to see the pile and his eyes turned bright. He ignored Cade and walked towards the pile of materials with his hammer. But he stopped when he heard Cade call out.
"Sir, what should I call you?"
The dwarf turned around and answered, "I am called Thorin."
