Ocular Menace: Misadventures of a Man with many Eyes

Johnathan Reed had just finished celebrating his 18 birthday, when like any self-respecting novel protagonist, died to the hands of Truck-Kun. He laments in his last moments the fact he never made it past 24 hours of adulthood, and should have looked before crossing the road. Next thing he knows he's in a old medieval style house. After successfully running away from the house, and whatever problems might come from meeting people, he's in the middle of nowhere until he hears the classic *Ding* any gamer would be familiar with. The Art Is Not Mine. If you are the owner of the art and want it down. let me know and I'll oblige. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- --Do I have you interested? please do let me know of any feedback you have, as again, this is solely for my own enjoyment and to improve my literary skills. I'm the only person proofreading this, and the grammar is probably killing you, so just bear with me, because English was never my best subject Also my jokes could be unfunny, let me know. Also I will do my best for compelling characters, but again first time writing. so stuff like romance might flop and be underwhelming for people and is probably gonna be a side bit, not the main focus and later on.

Congratulations! Your married to the head of a world power

"How long can you delay the party by?"

"I believe we should be able to stall the nobles for 3 days, your majesty"

"Perfect, have everything prepared for 3 days from now, I trust your all capable of this. Is there any other pressing matters at the moment, or can I bring over the new empress?"

"Nothing more urgent, your majesty" Taking this as his cue to leave, he teleports back to his mountain base, and starts thinking about how to break the news to Ruby.

After arriving in the house, he sits down on the couch, no one was there, so he probably had some time to think of a way to break the news. Around 5 minutes later, Ruby walks in, and notices Johnathan deep in thought, she decides to go sit down on the couch, Johnathan then notices her and turns around.

"Hey Ruby, don't know how else to tell you this, but congratulations on becoming empress..." Johnathan trails off at the end of his sentence, while Ruby just stares right at him.

"So I'm officially married to you now?" Ruby doesn't even sound shocked, she just looks at him blankly.

"You are, and now we have to go back to the castle, so please get ready." Ruby then stands up, and walks away., 10 minutes later Ruby walks back, he has no idea what she did, but she looks more dignified. They then teleport back to the throne room.

"Here is the empress, Ruby Ragnia, do what you must. What other issues are there to solve?"

"Your majesty, it is becoming more difficult to find talented children to learn magic or swordsmanship, causing a fall in our overall power."

"Bring me ever child in the empire, I will determine their talent with an artifact I found. Announce this in the morning, and then gather all the children in town, I don't care from where they are from, they must attend. Slaves included."

"Your majesty, other empires are furious about your refusal to give tributes, and a threatening conflict."

"Why should I give them anything, if they can give me a good reason, they can make a request for something. If they cannot give a satisfactory answer, deny them anything they request or demand using the name of a tribute as an excuse. Is that all?"

"That is all the issues that can be dealt with immediately, your majesty"

"Announce an inspection for everyone working for the empire, I have no time for corruption, it will only drag the empire down."

"Yes, your majesty"

"What is your name, by the way?"

"Sebas, your majesty"

After dealing with all the immediate issues, Johnathan goes to lie down on the bed inside his room. Nothing like faking sleep to invite assassins inside your room. He just lies there with his eyes open for a few minutes, looking over his other skill trees and looking at a new tab that had appeared.

After he had finished buying the new skills, he closes his eyes and waits for someone to pop inside the room. He had already place 20 invisible eyes all around the room with wind magic and could still see perfectly fine, so when a figure clad in black walks in around 3 hours later, he wonders if they thought of the possibility that his sleep was a trap. So when the figure walks up to him and pulls out dagger, Johnathan gets up and slaps the figure. They go flying right into a nearby wall. Johnathan then switches his eyes to vampire with the passive of silver dragon, and starts the interrogation.

Be prepared for space and time bs, becuase it is going to be his favourite, also he's going to go all in on agility soon. But if you have literaly anything you want to tell me/suggest comment, doing this with input makes it more fun to do. Time skill tree isin't present because he bought it all.
