Degraded.....

Eroberer decided to inspect his last gain before finalizing on his plan.

{INSPECT}

{NAME: Basic Blank Manual...}

{Imbue one of your Skill's and teach it to your subordinate.}

{Limit:10 subordinate}

"Huh...!"

"Let's see if this works...."

Eroberer said as he willed to imbue the Draconic Might on the Basic Blank Manual....

{DING!}

{Do you wish to imbue the skill [Draconic Might]...}

{YES} {NO}

"If I didn't want to, would I have willed it...."

Eroberer sneered at the systems obvious question as he accepted to imbue the skill....

{DING!}

{Skill copying initializing....}

{DING!}

{SYSTEM ERROR!}

{The skill [Draconic Might] is of a higher grade than the Basic Blank Manual...}

{DING!}

{The skill [Draconic Might] has been degraded to [Wyvern Aura ]...}

"What the heck...!"

Eroberer cursed when he read the system notification. He willed to stop the process but it was too late.

{DING!}

{Skill copying initializing....}

{0%...1%...16%....25%....32%....43%.....58%....64%....72%.....87%....93%....100.%}

{DING!}

{Skill copying complete...}

Seeing that the skill had already being finished, Eroberer quickly assessed his status panel....

"Hmmp...!"

Eroberer sighed as he saw his Dragon Might Skill was still intact.

With that out of the way, he reinspected the previous Basic Blank Manual...

{INSPECT}

{NAME: Wyvern Aura Manual...}

{Upon successful compressor and enlightment,one will acquire the aura of a Wyvern.}

{Limit:10 subordinate}

"This is fantastic....!"

"Now all I need are subordinates..."

Eroberer took some leather parchment and a jar of ink he had requested the innkeeper to have delivered to his room.

He sat down to plan on his initial steps.

He had already deduced that the only path forward for him was to establish his territory. And for him to do so,he needed to locate a land not claimed by any empire,or to overthrow one.

Something that he couldn't achieve at the moment. Luckily for him,he had learnt from the information he gathered earlier that the Kingdom he was in,was located close to the wasteland.

The wasteland was not some dry uninhabited region,but one thriving with resources and fertile lands.

The only reason no one had bothered to conquer it was because of the aboriginal occupants of the wastelands.

These aboriginal occupants were humanoid monsters that were known for three things,their brutality, strength and high reproductive capabilities.

For the different kingdoms, waging a war against the wasteland would just be a waste of resources and lives.

And to others,they didn't bother as they had yet to deplete the resources within and around their region.

"I will have to head south after am done with the two S grade quest..."

"As for the issue with population..."

"I won't wish to risk it."

From the previous MMORPG's he played,he knew well that for territory and strategic management games, the biggest challenge was population.

And since he was planning to settle in the wastelands,he knew it would be heard for his settlement to attract people. And so he planned doing what players used to do in search a situation.

And that was to purchase slaves. Though he looked down on slavery,he didn't have any other options.

With his mind made up,all he had left was to gather enough funds for the purchase of slaves and enough resources to sustain them during the journey southward and before he could establish his territory from a mere settlement.

From the remaining objectives of his first S grade quest, Eroberer calculated that he would earn one thousand one hundred and ten gold coins if he completed everything.

All he now needed was to head to the nearest town,there he would have assesse to a library.

He knew that there was one on his way to the bandit hideout,as he had just seen from the map he looted from the now dead Lieutenant Mbayor.

This little town would be playing a major role in his plans,since it's from here that he would purchase the needed slaves and resources.

He only hoped that he would get several strong ones to act as the guards during their journey southward.

With the territory and population issues dealt with, Eroberer started thinking of his class and professional trade.

For the class,he had already decided to walk the paths of the blade. He envisioned himself leading his army into war,his blades claiming his enemies heads as if they were cabbages.

And so he noted down a reminder on his to do list. He had to visit the village's training grounds to apply for a class change the first thing in the morning.

As for his professional trade,he was divided between blacksmithing and apothecary.

Firstly, he didn't know wether apothecary was an option in this new world.

Secondly,he didn't know wether he could practice two professionals.

The only way for him to find out was by trying it out.

For one to acquire the blacksmith profession, they would have to actually enroll as a blacksmith apprentice.

From there, they would have to increase their mastery over time,but for him,all he needed was to allocate a few skill points into his trade skills.

He also planned on visiting the blacksmith tomorrow.

And since there was no apothecary workshop in the village,he planned on improvising and adapting.

He would have to locate a cauldron or forge one himself,there was also the issue of acquiring a flame for the cauldron and gathering herbs and materials that had similar effects to the ones he used to craft pills in his life as a player.

If there was one thing that Eroberer prided himself in,was his good memory. Though he had been forty-five years old when he met his demise,he still could recall well all the pill recipes he had learnt and created when he played all those MMORPG's.

With that decided,he added three more item on his to do list...

GATHER HERBS FOR PILL CRAFTING.

ACQUIRE A CAULDRON

ACQUIRE A FLAME

With everything set,he decided to take of his armor and rest. Even though he had a system like in-game,this was a real world where fatigue was a real issue,and sleep was a mandatory requirement,just like bathing, eating and off course, excreting.

Eroberer quickly fell asleep,he still had to spend a couple more days in this village.
