...

Allen soon found himself lying down on the ground of a lush green forest with an extremely painful headache and a bright pop-up in his face.

Groaning Allen could only look around and try and find what is happening in the surroundings and what the bright pop-up meant by 'Welcome all Lords'. While he pulled himself up using a nearby tree he soon saw the pop-up had changed and let out another bright flash.

"Is there a dark mode to this?" Just as he spoke the bright screen soon became darker where it was no longer screaming in his face.

[Welcome Human Lord!]

[As you don't matter, figure everything out yourself, or ask others on the forum.]

[To open up forums think deeply about opening them. To open statistics think deeply about opening them.]

"What!"

Despite yelling at the screen that told him his existence was pointless, he was still forced to face reality. Focusing on the word forums and a pop-up Allen soon saw what the system was telling him about.

A panel of different sections was all shown on the pop-up. The most eye-catching was the largest button with 'Universal Chat' brightly lit up. The only others that were lit up were the; Misc. Chat, Universal Trade, Human Trade, Human Chat.

The other panels that were grayed out were labeled as; Beastman Chat, Elves Chat, Dwarves Chat, Demons Chat, Angels Chat, Dragons Chat, Undead Chat, Titans Chat, and Fae Chat. Checking the grayed-out options revealed a drop-down revealing several other strange race names like Bloodshark Chat under the Beastman race.

Among other options that Allen didn't care about, for now, he opened up the Universal Chat to see what others were saying.

[What the F*ck is even happening! Why am I in a desert?! It was the middle of winter!]

[Can anyone tell me where I can find my family?]

[Why do I look like a Demon!]

[Did anyone else become a pale-skinned beauty?]

[Why are people complaining about changing race? I even became an ugly Undead! I just wanted to lose a little weight, not all my flesh and fat!]

[Can anyone tell me what a Herald is? Why is my race a name?]

[What is going to happen to my family?]

[Why did I appear right next to a wild animal den!]

After checking the pure chaos in the Universal Chat Allen soon realized that many of the Humans were talking about changing races. After a short moment of panic Allen soon realized he shouldn't worry about it since even if he changed race he couldn't do anything about it.

After seeing he couldn't find anything he quickly checked the statistics the system had talked about.

[Lord: Allen]

[Level: 1 (0/10)]

[Blessed by the Laughing God]

[Talent: Talent Devour (F rank)]

[Class - NONE]

[Vitality - 2]

[Strength - 2]

[Agility - 4]

[Intelligence - 1]

[Skills: Bestow]

[Talent Devour (F rank) -> Can consume the talent of the opponent to allow the user to obtain it. Uses most of the energy of the talent consumed to strengthen itself.]

[Note: The Laughing god expects great things from you, so pull the talent straight out of their heads! Might be useless now, but isn't that what's so funny about it?]

[Bestow (B rank) -> Bestow your power onto your subordinates.]

[Give 100% of the power to your subordinates]

[Note: Laughing god doesn't want you to be completely useless, so here is a semi-useless skill that is useless without any subordinates. Isn't it fun?]

"Wait I have late-game skills with nothing now? What the f*ck! And what is that Laughing god's blessing about?" As Allen was complaining he suddenly remembered the first announcement had said something about items he was supposedly given.

Checking around he soon found three fist-sized crystals on the ground.

[Simple Wooden House Creation Crystal]

[Creates a simple wooden house around the user after being crushed.]

[Special Effect: For 2 days after being placed it will scare all wild animals away.]

[Note: Once built it is (Upgradable) but (Immobile).]

[Storage Crystal]

[Will transform a building into a storage warehouse after being crushed.]

[Special Effect: All items inside the Storage warehouse will never spoil or degrade.]

[Note: You want an inventory? Here is a permanent inventory that stays in one place!]

[Human Summoning Circle Crystal]

[Will create a small summoning circle that will summon 10 humans every week]

[Note: Once built it is (Upgradable) but (Immobile).]

"F*ck! So I have to find a safe place to set my base up? No, wait it says the house will scare away wild animals, so I can go anywhere with the caveat of having to deal with wild animals two days later. Wait... does that mean I can force my way into the nest of a group of beasts and just scare them away with a simple wooden house?" Suddenly, with an idea, Allen started walking with a plan in mind.

While walking Allen checked the Forum again to see if anyone else was 'Blessed' by a god. Eventually, he found at least three different posts asking about it.

[What does it mean to be Blessed by the Elven goddess? And why does it say I am now a saint? I wasn't that good of a person.]

[Does anyone else have a blessing of a god?]

[Who else is cursed with a "Blessing" by the Laughing god?]

"So even a blessing from gods isn't special." Sighing to himself, Allen could only keep moving in a random direction.

Everything that was on Allen's body before he was taken here was there. Everything but the bag he used to carry his computer and his clothes were useless. Despite considering throwing away all the useless technology, Allen as a modern Human couldn't throw it away and simply carried the extra weight.

After walking around for an hour Allen soon realized he was in a valley with mountains blocking most of his pathways, but soon he found his first encounter with a group of weirdly colored foxes. The foxes were all a dark green color and were as big as a large dog. Thinking of the videos online of cute tamed foxes Allen could only hope these wild foxes would not attack him.

As soon as his thoughts finished he saw the jaws of a fox going straight for his neck!

Falling down Allen was barely able to dodge the fox, but the fox didn't give up and attacked after a quick turn. Allen awakened his survival instinct and rolled out of the way and started running without caring about where he was going.

Soon Allen remembered his idea and ran straight at the large cave the foxes were using as a burrow. The fox behind him let out a squeaky howl making six adult foxes all come out of the cave. Allen quickly pulled out his house crystal and got ready to run inside the cave and hope he could get the cave to himself.

Just as he got close several blades of grass became thicker and grew like vines and quickly wrapped around his feet stopping his movement right in front of the six foxes! The Foxes on the other hand seemed to know that this would happen and took this chance to surround and attack!

Clenching his crystal Allen soon found himself in an empty ragged wooden shed that was 5 by 3 meters. There was only one door and one closed wooden window. Falling down, Allen found himself doing his best to catch his breath. After checking the space several times the only special thing he found about the shed was that it is completely clean.

[Simple Wooden House (Upgradable) (Immobile)]

[Upgrade requirements: 20 wood, 40 stone]

[Special Effect: For 2 days after being placed it will scare all wild animals away.]

[Note: It is called simple for a reason.]

After catching his breath Allen took out his summoning crystal in case the humans he summons will have some type of weapon to protect him. Crushing the crystal a large glowing circle took up the majority of the room. It had various symbols and lines which made it look almost random.

[Human Summoning Circle (Upgradable) (Immobile)]

[Gathers Mana to summon 10 Humans every week]

[Recruits Available: 10]

[Recruit Requirements: 4 wood, 4 stone]

[Upgrade Requirements: 200 wood, 200 Stone]

[Special Effect: All units summoned will start as completely loyal.]

[Note: First time summoning is completely free.]

Knowing the foxes were probably waiting for him outside, Allen didn't hesitate any longer and activated the magic circle. After a flash of light 10 Humans appeared without weapons or armor and only some clothes.

The Humans all turned to him and shouted while saluting to him, "LORD!"
