Sla-.....Workers 2

There were 8 spots left, and while the randomizer function was indeed an option, he wanted to get some important roles filled in. From what he was told, he was going to develop the land and country, so first of all, he needed strong people—about four should do it. If he counted Duke as one, that still meant he needed three more. He just turned the strength filter up to maximum and saw so many brawler-type fighters with such skills. That wasn't going to help him in the long run, though; he had a lot of brawn in the form of giants. Should he look for smarter people then?

Just as he was thinking about all this, a profile caught his eye—it was supposedly a swordsman. Hmm, the skills were above average, but the person had a trait. Well, how did he know? His identification skill worked through this screen for some reason, but not others. Was it for fairness purposes or a glitch? Who cares. The trait was one he wasn't going to give up on, even though it was a good one,so he ended up picking the Tumo guy, who seemed rather useful. 

He stopped scrolling in the power tab as he felt there was nothing more than bulky big men in that section, and honestly, he didn't mind that. Yea, no, he definitely did, as he shifted over to the powers and abilities tab to see who the top people were. Surprisingly, some of the people were already chosen; it seemed like he was a bit late. He kept scrolling until his eyes fell on a woman with blue eyes and white hair. She didn't have any particular strength, but her abilities and traits almost made his jaw drop. How the hell did she not win? Losing her would be the most stupid mistake of his fucking life. He selected her instantly, leaving one more person who he would need in the power category. A good ruler needs a strong army, and they would be that to him.

After choosing Ikami (the woman's name), he kept scrolling. Sincerely, the power section was more interesting than he thought, but overall, in the end, there were too many options that overwhelmed him. It was so hard to just choose one, and as he sighed, all of them were at best above average. He sighed as he leaned back on his bed. Oh, yeah, he had traveled back to his room on the bird by now. Honestly, he just wanted to get this over with before he hit the bed, so he didn't have to stress about it while he slept.

After looking for a bit more, he gave up and just chose a healer. I mean, there was no one actually stronger than he wanted, and having a healer was always crucial for someone who didn't have a first aid box in their house. If the person heard him call them a first aid box, they would definitely feel bad. That being said, Jack Gad finally chose five people, of whom four were strong enough to be his blade. Next, he was going to choose 2 smart people and 3 utility people; he thought he might be just considering his tools at this point. But was he really wrong for doing that? They were more or less toys with no free will of their own anymore, so he didn't feel bad.

He thought he might as well scroll again, but he had grown tired of doing that. As he was thinking about what to do, he didn't realize when his hand ended up in his pocket as he felt the coin he had won from that mystery gift box and smiled.

[randomizing 5 people]

All he had to do was gamble, and his trait would do the work. Honestly, he felt a little bad for not realizing this earlier, but he was happy with those picks except the healer, so why not? As it did, it stopped on a picture of five people he had never seen before, so he decided to closely examine each one by one. 

The first candidate was a man in a lab coat with scars under his eyes. Wait, were those eye bags? Sheesh Someone, get this fucker to bed, please. He was the very definition of a crazy scientist, as he felt bad for thinking that, but that was the best way to describe the guy. And after reading his skills, Jack was sure this guy was crazy but smart and workable, so he just ended up choosing him. 

The next guy had a wooden mask on his face and was wearing a green hoodie over it, as if he were hiding his identity. His name was only written as hunter, so no one knew who he was, and honestly, Jack could care less. The guy had the ranger class and skills related to those that Jack found useful in the long run, so he was admitted under utility, leaving two more spots. 

Jack knew two more things his kingdom would need: minerals and farms. Now, while trading might not be a good idea, the jungle didn't offer much to trade with the outside world. So he had to choose people who could help him do both, so he chose one person with a farmer job class, which left one utility and one brain. Honestly, utility was the easier one to choose since his skill didn't tell him how smart someone was. As he randomized again, he saw someone he would rather have

It was a person with a runesmith class that was so fucking useful. From what he knew, runesmithing was a very wide subject, and having someone in that class meant extra encouragement for whatever he made. So he instantly chose the person, leaving one brain slot open.

At that point, he just randomized it, selected whoever came up, and called it a day. He was tired, and the bed was calling. Meanwhile, seeing the person he needed in his kingdom being taken before him, made a certain mechanic curse Jack's name.
