After a sudden and inexplicable transmigration, Maximus finds himself in a fantasy world where extraordinary power exists. But he is not without his advantages; he possesses a system that grants him the ability to become stronger as he takes on wives and birthed children. Determined to conquer this new world, Maximus uses his cheat to gather wives and birth children, building up his power and influence. As he gains more allies and resources, he sets his sights on the ultimate prize: ruling the world and surpassing even gods. However, the road to conquest is not an easy one. He must contend with powerful factions, rival conquerors, and unexpected challenges as he builds his ideal empire. But with his cunning mind, he is determined to succeed and become the greatest conqueror the world has ever seen.
"Where am I?"
"Who am I?"
A chaotic memory suddenly came flooding into his mind.
A few minutes later… Maximus slowly opened his eyes.
Looking in a daze, he quietly digested the memory of this body, trying to come to terms with the fact that he had transmigrated.
Fortunately, he was lucky and was born as a son of a high-ranking noble, a count.
Unfortunately, his luck ended there.
Before he could enjoy living in glory, the memory of this body told him otherwise.
Some time ago, while traveling back from the royal capital, a group of cultists had attacked them.
Fighting back, even with his father's strength as a Tier 3 Earth Knight, they still died.
With the whole family, the guards, and the servant dying, it was a miracle that he was still breathing.
"It should be because of me…" Maximus thought, looking at his injured body.
With the miracle of transmigration, bringing back a dead body was nothing.
After digesting the memory of the original body, he found that this world was a world of fantasy where knights and magic existed.
The ranks of knights from tier 0 to tier 4 include Apprentice Knight, Official Knight, Great Knight, Earth Knight, and Sky Knight.
The ranks of mages from tier 0 to tier 3 are Apprentice Mage, Official Mage, Great Mage, and Nascent Mage.
As for the rest, this body seems unaware of it.
Looking at the grand world presented in his memory, Maximus couldn't wait to venture outside.
However, much less the current injury of his body, just his strength made him smile wryly.
At 19 years old, he was only a tier 0 apprentice magician, barely stronger than a mortal.
As for spells?
With the mediocre comprehension of his predecessor, much less regular spell, even producing party tricks might fail.
"Fortunately, it's not me."
Confident in his ability, he didn't think he would be the same as his predecessor.
As he was planning for his future, a new change suddenly appeared before him.
[Family and Power System Activating…]
Like the projection panel in the games from his previous world, it gave him a familiar feeling.
After a while, the whole thing loaded up, and information about the system flooded his mind.
[System initialized]
[User: Maximus Shadowcrest]
[Strength: Tier 0 - Apprentice Mage (18/500)]
[Potential: Rank 0 - Trash (0/1)]
[Wife: 0]
[Children: 0]
[Gold: 0]
[Mall]
The system was about building a family and having more children.
The system has two passive and two active functions.
Passive function:
For every wife, the system would generate gold points.
For every child, the system would generate potential points.
Active function:
The gold points generated by having a wife could purchase anything in the system mall.
While the potential points generated by having children could upgrade his potential.
"Quite neat." Maximus couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
Transmigration is really a technical job.
Transmigrating with a noble identity, now he even has the help of a golden finger.
Getting rich with his wives and becoming talented with his children, Maximus felt his life was complete.
Inheriting his father's title and becoming a Count, Maximus just needed to manage his territory, marry many wives, and give birth to thousands of children until he became invincible.
Turning his attention to the mall, he saw a wide array of items available, including mage meditation manuals, knight training manuals, magical tools, rare artifacts, arrays, runes, etc.
There was everything he could think of, from the most basic materials like food to the most extraordinary things that could dominate the world.
As he was checking the system mall, there was a knock on the door.
"Young master, are you alright?" Gerald, the steward of the Shadowcrest Family, asked with concern.
"I'm fine, How is the Moonshadow City?"
"There was chaos in the city, but the guards quickly suppressed it."
"The cultists who attacked the young master and the Lord, however, are nowhere to be found," Gerald replied with fatigue clear in his eyes.
The death of his Lord, the pillar of the Shadowcrest Family, had been a huge blow.
Fortunately, the young master, the family's only heir, was still alive.
"Is that so?"
Hearing the territory was still stable, Maximus couldn't help but sigh in relief.
Misunderstanding Maximus' nonchalant expression, Gerald quickly comforted his young master.
"Young master, I am truly sorry for the loss of your parents. Just know that I will always be loyal to your family."
"I know; thank you for your concern," Maximus smiled, not wanting him to worry.
Bowing respectfully, Gerald left the room, leaving Maximus to rest from his injury.
Being left alone, Maximus started to think about his situation.
With such a loyal and strong butler around, keeping his noble title shouldn't be a problem.
Looking at his trash talent, it seemed the first thing he needed to do was change his fate.
Unfortunately, he didn't have a wife and a child.
Heck, he didn't even have a family.
"How do I find a wife?"
This is a profound question that hunted people back in his previous world
But here in this world, this should be easier to solve.
Especially inheriting his father's title; as a Count, all the people in his territory were at his beck and call.
Just a single word and all the women in his territory would flock to the castle.
He could even call up marriage alliances with other nobles.
Unfortunately, with his current plight and strength of a mortal, doing so would be a death wish.
Letting a wolf in, even the weakest baron may swallow up his territory.
"Hiss~" turning around, he felt a burning pain.
Before he could think of being laid, it seemed he had more urgent things to do.
"Call Tristan!" Maximus muttered, notifying the guard outside.
Tristan was this territory accountant.
Wanting to convert some gold coins, he thought of buying the healing potion he saw in the system mall.
A while later, A thin middle-aged man with glasses came inside.
"Greetings, Young Count." Tristan gave a bow.
Although Tristan didn't think much of Maximus, bound by the contract from the Shadowcrest Family, he didn't dare to stay out of bounds.
After signing a contract, unless he was a Tier 2 Great Mage or a Tier 3 Earth Knight, he had no way of betraying the family.
This is also how nobles control their people, of course, it's only for important positions as this kind of magical contract is expensive.
"How many gold coins are in the treasury?"
"Um, We only had about 7,000 gold coins,"
"It should be enough." Maximus thought, calculating the things he needed to buy.
"Bring 5,000 gold coins here."
"This-"
"Just do what I said."
With no other choice, Tristan had a guard help him bring the money to Maximus.
A few minutes later, they returned with a crate filled with gold coins.
"Here is the money, Young Count."
"Just drop it beside me,"
"As you wish," Tristan sighed, hoping this Young Count wouldn't spend money indiscriminately.
Seeing they were out, he turned around and reached out the gold coins beside his bed.
"Convert"
Suddenly, the gold coins in the crate slowly disappeared.
[+5,000 gold points]
"It looked like gold coins have the same value as gold points."
Seeing that he had enough money, he browsed the system mall and bought a tier 1 healing potion for 10 gold coins.
[-10 GP]
Admiring the blood-red potion in his hand, Maximus drank it without hesitation.
"Hiss~"
Like warm water flowing through his body, his injuries slowly healed.
After a while, feeling no more pain, he tried to stand up.
"It's really a blessing to have a healthy body."
Maximus sighed as he tried to stretch, feeling comfortable.
"Now, first stabilize the territory and find a wife."
