Hesla and Stardragon belonged to the same continent. The more liberal culture on Hesla was perhaps due to the hot and humid climate. Even outside of the beaches, bikini girls and topless guys could be seen walking on the streets.
The train pulled in to the military train station. Looking through the window, a man in shades wearing a loose-fitting flowery shirt could be seen standing on the platform. He was probably the next point of contact.
Han Xiao alighted from the train together with the rest as Qi Bai Jia led the way. Qi Bai Jia walked up to the man and introduced himself. "I am Qi Bai Jia from the Stardragon's Division 13."
The man laughed and removed his shades. He had unshaven stubble and looked unkempt, as if he was a fishmonger from the market.
"I am Ye Fan from the Hesla Intelligence Department."
Han Xiao was in disbelief.
Ye Fan‽
Which Ye Fan was he?
What exactly happened!
The man looked nothing like the dashing and cool Ye Fan that Han Xiao pictured in his mind.
Ye Fan saw the hole-studded train carriage and immediately asked, "You guys encountered a monster?"
"It was just a small worm, no real threat."
Qi Bai Jia gave a dry cough. Despite of the danger caused by the worm, there was no way he would admit that the situation had been greatly perilous. He needed to maintain the reputation of the Stardragon agents and wanted the folks on Hesla to believe that they were strong.
"It must have been really fortunate for you guys to arrive safely." Ye Fan laughed. He did not further probe into Qi Bai Jia's words.
Ye Fan put his shades back on and said, "Let us quickly head to the command center and report in. Our administrative procedures here are less complicated than those in Maple, at least 90% less."
Some agents chuckled to themselves. Maple was known for its inflexible system. Apparently when the Shanuks from Theseus and Maple collaborated to wipe out the Vagrant Warlords, the short-tempered Shanuks were so frustrated with the elaborate reporting procedures of Maple that they almost fought with the officials at the Maple Intelligence Unit's Caroma headquarters.
The administrative pre-requisite for this joint operation required the commanders to submit their operation plans before the actual execution of the mission.
For this operation, the Hesla military was delegated to be the offensive force. The agents were in charge of reconnaissance missions to uncover the enemy's defense blueprints at the Dark Crow Valley Base.
Along the way, one could see the brand-new bulletproof jeeps and small tanks parked in garages. There were also honeycomb missile-launchers and groups of soldiers transporting ammunition.
Zhang Wei, Di Susu, and Ma Qing Yang became really quiet, a stark contrast from their usual chatty behavior. It was their nationalistic sentiments affecting them. Han Xiao realized that he should not do anything overboard at that point in time.
The commanding officer was a muscular Caucasian man by the name of Colonel Carl. Colonel Carl was studying the operation plan hanging on the wall. Upon hearing the door creak, Colonel Carl, who thought that it was his assistant officer entering the room, blurted out, "Do not disturb me when I am thinking!"
Ye Fan coughed and said, "Colonel, the agents from Stardragon are here to submit their report."
Colonel Carl turned his head to face Ye Fan. The tension on his face relieved immediately. He squinted his eyes and stared coldly at the Stardragon agents with distrust. He took out a document from his drawer.
"Take them down to rest, we will set off together in an hour," he ordered.
Carl seemed unfriendly to the agents of Division 13. Ye Fan took the agents to a room and asked them to stay put at the location since they would be moving out shortly.
After Ye Fan left, the agents were left alone. Lin Yao finally dared to speak and asked softly, "Why do I get the feeling that the Hesla soldiers, especially the commanding officer, seem to not like us?"
Ma Qing Yang gave a sarcastic grin and said, "In the past, there were wars between Stardragon and Hesla. Therefore, the people of Hesla are unfriendly toward us. It is really frustrating that we have to face such situations even when we are on a collaborative mission with them. Colonel Carl definitely doesn't look like an easy figure to appease."
The different cliques within Division 13 was not unique to Stardragon. In fact, many countries faced such situations. Maple and Ordina were more conservative. Raylen and Theseus were more assertive. Stardragon and Hesla were more neutral.
Lin Yao remarked in disbelief, "Why did the department send us to Hesla then? What if they make us the sacrificial objects for the mission?"
"Nobody knows what the higher-ups have in mind. I guess we have to count on ourselves to stay safe."
Ma Qing Yang, being a seasoned member of the department, was no longer surprised or shocked by such arrangements.
Qi Bai Jia explained, "Don't worry, every command given to you guys has to gain my approval."
The agents fell silent after a series of discussions to get into the mode for the mission.
"I am going out to take a puff."
Han Xiao stood up and walked out of the room. He lighted his cigarette and took a deep puff, which went all the way down to his lungs, then out of his nostrils in two trails of smoke. He felt a sense of relief.
He ignored the unfriendly stares from the Hesla soldiers and diverted his attention to the mission plan on the screen of the tablet.

——————————————————————
Initially, Han Xiao thought that it was going to be a normal mission, but instead, the operation was part of the Camp-destroyer series, which allowed for a varied and outstanding performance.
There were many types of missions, and for those belonging to the Camp-destroyer series, as long as one completed most of the objectives, the rewards would be generous. There were also additional rewards based on one's individual performance.
As Han Xiao was smoking, a lady with short red hair approached him and asked, "Are you from Stardragon?"
Staring at her in the eye, Han Xiao nodded. "I suppose so."
Immediately, the lady drew a knife from her waist and stabbed toward the neck of Han Xiao!


What do you do when you wake up and find yourself inside the very game that you love? 
What do you do when you realize you that you have not only become an NPC - you have even been thrown back in time to before the game even launched! 
What will happen when our protagonist's two realities coincide? 
Han Xiao was a professional power leveler before his transmigration. Using his past life's knowledge, Han Xiao sweeps through the universe as he prepares for the arrival of the players. This is definitely not your typical transmigration novel.

Lightning.

Dang!!!

And Thunder.

Boom!!!

Dang!!!

The ocean roared, as if taunting the stormy skies to strike it harder. More lightning struck the violent sea, like heavenly arrows being shot at an army of water soldiers. As they strike the sea, waves would split and water would scatter as droplets. Beneath the rough waves, a plethora of new creatures swam.

Giant squids with cones, tadpole like fishes and what could only be described as sea scorpions roamed the ancient sea. The reef had diversified and expanded over the last fifty million years. All manner of ancient sea creatures lived around or within the massive reef whose size could encompass singapore completely. The reef was like a cross between a labyrinth and a dungeon, with hundreds of layers of rock, reef, flora and fauna.

The reef reached down to three hundred meters below thanks to mana empowered corals and other reef flora and fauna. Thanks to that, a diverse ecosystem of open ocean and reef creatures thrived within the vast reef. As for the great titans of the cambrian age, their numbers have reached the hundred thousands for the trilobite titans, the early thousands for the anomalocaris titans and barely ten thousand for the opabinia titans.

Near the massive reef, a cloud of dust rose from the ocean floor like a rising sandstorm. The water around the area began to swirl around a point as most creatures begin to swim away or follow the water's movements. A large crystal of ice stands at the epicentre, with the silhouette of a woman inside. The crystal begins to crack as the fifty two million year sleep has ended. Quickly, the crystal completely cracks and then shatters before dissolving into the sea water.

When the dark haired goddess opened her eyes, a blue pulse was immediately released, moving like a wave of light crossing the smooth terrain of the sea bed. The true ocean goddess immediately transformed into a mermaid and shot off towards the reef. Like in the last era, she explored the ancient seas. However, she created a tablet made of what looks like normal, transparent glass.

Thanks to the immense intelligence stats that he has in this incarnation, he could read and completely understand a one million word book in a microsecond. Thus, he thought of this whole idea in several tens of picoseconds. The tablet is a very advanced camera capable of catching a picture with the resolution of a human eyes and can even perfectly capture images of things that are moving at the speed of several mach. With the 'glass' camera tablet, she took pictures of the ordovician age.

There were many creatures during this age. Notably the sea scorpions, orthocones, early clams, armored jaw less fish and ancient sea snails. She took many pictures and even hour long videos during her exploration. The creator had planned to one day show these videos to the people of this world's modern age to explain the world's early ages. After a month long exploration time, the creator began the birth of the ordovician titans.

These titans start out with one pair less of a population than their predecessors. After that, the creator left the waters and walked to land. Right after he placed the last titan pair, he was struck by inspiration. He thought of the creation of higher planes and worlds, a concept inspired by hindu and buddhist mythology which entails the existence of higher realms of gods and lower realms of mortals.

From this, he planned to create many higher planes and has thought about laws for all the realms. Higher realm beings are always far stronger than lower realm beings depending on how much higher their plane or realm is. Second law, the law of suppression and rejection. To prevent higher beings from easily conquering and entering lower realms and to prevent unusually strong lower beings from exploiting the resources of higher realms, this law is created.

When higher beings enter lower realms, they will be rejected by the realm itself. This rejection will either prevent entry, cause a time limit in appearance and or greatly reduce the effects of abilities sent to that realm. Example, the god of time sends a spell that would make a whole world immortal, the spell that arrives would only make one person immortal. Another example, if someone in a lower realm becomes a higher being, they would eventually be rejected and expelled from the world once their power reaches a certain point.

The only exception to this law is for the dead or spirits belonging to an underworld, who will not be suppressed or rejected when entering any underworld. However, living things would be massively rejected and suppressed regardless of origin if they attempt to enter any underworld. Unless, the ruler of the underworld in question permits it. Then, I applied these two laws to my universe and all its current realms.

Next, I transformed into the Chaos Heaven. In the place of the dark haired ocean goddess, a majestic angel of light and darkness appeared. Her long, silky black hair swaying in the gentle breeze. She had seven golden angel wings and seven black wings, signifying the union between the powers of order and chaos. Her clothes and armor are a cross between a fallen angel and the holiest seraph.

As the Chaos Heaven, he flew up into space and began configuring a series of higher planes. First, he placed heaven as a higher plane where all angels will be rejected to if they use a certain degree of their power in a lower realm. As a higher plane, lower beings who are not dead would face a 99.99999% suppression in all stats if they managed to find entry. This suppression to lower beings also makes all the angels in heaven right now have all their stats multiplied by ten million times.

With that, all heavens shook as all angels began to rapidly increase in power. Even the now infinite Seven Heavens have their powers vastly multiplied. Now, they could wipe out thousands of universes in a single attack, becoming stronger than all the primordials right now. After the shaking ended, the higher ups of heaven began their first major meeting since their creation in order to understand what happened and react accordingly.

As for the creator, he fashioned more planes and changed a few places. The Archaic Lands are turned into a higher plane with 60% suppression and all of its inhabitants have their stats and abilities multiplied by around four times. Hell is turned into a higher plane with 50% suppression and its lingering sin energy would slowly corrupt things into demonic forms before becoming a bona fide demon. Hell would be connected to a new plane I call the Abyss, a realm where the sin energy is so strong that it forms a bluish or white mist.

The Abyss is an endless chasm with layers upon layers of cursed stone and condensed crystals of darkness and evil. This is the homeland of the Abyssals, the more primeval, violent and twisted version of demons. Unlike others, the Abyssals are not rejected by lower realms but have a limit to how many can be present in a realm at a time. An Abyssal is at least ten times stronger than the average demon and, the attacks from a wicked entity would only heal and strengthen them.

Also unlike their more civilized and ordered counterparts, Abyssals cannot battle physically as their true forms are incapable of leaving the Abyss itself. They could only manifest as whispers, thoughts and grant power through avatars or vessels. However, the Abyssals are also trustworthy and straightforward. They possess a degree of pride that prevents them from doing tricks which are perceived by them as the actions of lower beings.

Demons will become Abyssals if they are consumed by their own power and darkness or by staying in the Abyss for two long. The suppression in the Abyss is 99.9%, making all of its inhabitants naturally a thousand times stronger. Else than the Abyssals, darkness or evil corrupted flora also thrives within the eternal dusk. Rare materials for darkness related things are so common that even pebbles are harder to find.

At the bottom of the abyss would be Tehom. The primordial void that is under Nihilo's command is the bottom of the abyss. Else than the Abyss, there is also the Shadow Plane. The Shadow Plane is a realm between Sheol and the Abyss. Only Shades can exist here and only evil shades and animal shades are sent to the Shadow Plane. It's suppression is at 35% and because of that, its inhabitants are naturally almost six and a quarter times stronger than usual.

Only demons and Abyssals can open passages or bring anything in or out of the Shadow Plane. Next, is the higher plane of Kryotus, a realm with temperatures far below absolute zero. It is a realm so cold that mana could barely move. Kryotus is home to all the ice elementals and titans who I will move to that realm.

Due to the mana freezing nature of the realm, mid level undead and below would immediately be broken and high level undead would be trapped in permanent paralysis. Also, only mages with divinity could cast any spell or use mana at all. I also imparted the rule and complete control of this realm to Ymir. Its suppression is at 90%, multiplying its inhabitants abilities by 100 times.

Next, I made the higher plane of Nagaloka, the place where I intend to have dragons be born at. This realm is similar to the world but is a thousand times larger. Its suppression is at 70% and its power multiplier to inhabitants is almost five times. Unlike other realms, its lower grade inhabitants will not be rejected by lower realms in order to have dragons roam the world.

I gave Nagaloka's command to the Dragon Primordial Tiamat and soon to two other dragon primordials that I will create. Speaking of Tiamat, I haven't been back at my new home for almost two billion years. I hope that she's not mad or worried that I've been gone for that long, then again, she'd only be worried since all of my creations would never get mad at me. After Nagaloka, I made a few other higher planes three of them being Thassias, Yahbenon and Fantasia.

Thassias is a higher realm with 30% suppression but with a 30 times multiplier. It is an ocean with infinite area and depth, with the deeper waters containing the strongest of beings. The realm possesses a sky that reaches a billion miles above the surface. Beyond that, is the mirror which will instantly teleport one to a random place in the realm's surface or reef areas.

This realm belongs to water elementals, massive sea monsters and other water related entities. There are continent sized or planet sized islands floating on the sea which are actually massive sea monsters that allows land life to exist. These 'islands' are actually only the monster's 'shell' while the beast itself could be hundreds or even millions of miles below. Also, the beasts movements will not affect the island due to an anomaly produced by the excess mana the beasts release.

Deeper down, similar beasts exist with underwater worlds and continents which allow massive reefs and hyper biospheres to exist as they are at least a thousand times larger than their surface counterparts. This realm is given to Thalassa who could freely regulate and edit the world as she wishes. This higher plane would not suppress or reject any water related entity at all.

Yahbenon will act as the realm of the gods which I left empty since they can do whatever they want there. Their suppression is 99.9999% which provides them with a million times multiplier for the gods and their servants. As for Fantasia, it is a realm of dreams and thoughts where all dreams, thoughts and nightmares exist physically and logically here. If enough entities believe that something exists, the object of belief would be able to manifest outside of Fantasia temporarily.

In the rarest cases, the object could be completely independent of Fantasia and exist in the believed realm with its believed attributes. This is what I would call as Faith creations, which could create even gods but do not originate from a higher plane. Faith created gods are known as Ascended Gods who were created through religion and could freely change the world as they do not face rejection from lower realms. However, these Ascended Gods would face a thousand times worse suppression in higher realms.

After creating those higher planes, I decided to create the Primordial Lands and amplify their power once more. All the primordials are scattered and I wouldn't want them to accidentally interfere with the natural growth of my world more than they have too. I have a plan to make sure that the gods are not aware of the primordials at all. The only ones who should know are the Seven Heavens and people that I might trust in the future when I go adventuring and stuff.

The primordial lands is a great empty of fifth dimensional space which will be the home of all the primordials. First, I sent them all to the empty land and then multiplied all their stats by infinity and more, to the point where their existence is equal to a certain amount of fifth dimensional galaxies. In the great empty, the formerly sleeping seven are immediately awakened, meeting new entities before them. Gaia met her elder siblings, same goes with Ananke, the Fates, the Nornir, Tiamat and the awakened Yam.

Yam and Gaia knew who the rest were while Ananke, The Fates and The Nornir only knew each other and Yam, not Gaia. The silence between the almighty beings is broken by a question from Ouranos, "Who are all of you?" Gaia is first to reply, "I am Gaia, the sheperd of evolution. Daughter of the creator and your youngest sister." The eldest primordial looked at Yam to confirm, in which he nodded. Despite being asleep, Yam could spread his consciousness when he focuses so he is completely aware of who exists.

When he searches, they would sense him and therefore, everyone knows him. Despite that, the hostile Perses asked, "And how do we know that Yam isn't lying or is captured?" Tiamat felt angry when Gaia claimed to be the creator's daughter. As far as she knows, only she and Yam are his children. Despite suspecting the fire primordial, she agreed with his viewpoint.

"Because I'm not brother." Bluntly said Yam. Then, Tallum stepped forward, "Are you sure Yam? Do not lie or I will personally kill you." When she heard that, Tiamat's scales begin to glow purple as anger began to rise. 'How dare they accuse my brother. They are nothing but pretenders, false children and they dare accuse my younger brother!'

As more of the seven begin to accuse Yam, Tiamat growled, "How dare you accuse Yam! Only Yam and I are the creator's children, you must all die for your blasphemy!" The dragon primordial rammed against Tallum who was taken by surprise. Ever since their recent elevation, only Ouranos and Ananke have any chance at beating her. This loser is only slightly over half her strength, so she easily outmatches him.

She relentlessly fired destruction and pure chaos energy at the metal primordial whose metal shields and creations are quickly corroded. Suddenly, another figure rammed at her. It was Thalassa who used her spear to push her and let Tallum recover. "Thank you sister." Said the regenerating primordial. "No problem metal man."

After being flung a hundred miles away, she recovered and roared in anger, "How dare you strike me! Suffer for your insolence deciever!" Tiamat used more of her power and formed an endless barrage of destruction missiles that converged on the two. Almost immediately, the empty space is lit up with bright purple bursts of light that crash upon the shields the two primordials created. As their shields began to crack, the dragon smiled in triumph and released more missiles.

Seeing his siblings being gradually overpowered by the attack, Ouranos decided to interfere along with Perses but for different reasons. The other primordials including the recently arrived Nihilo simply watched and casted barriers when necessary. Their combined strength protected them from the angry dragon primordial's relentless attacks. Despite being an overpowering attack, it consumed stamina based on percentage. The dragon is tiring out and it allowed Perses to fight equally against her.

From behind, Ouranos summoned a massive storm of gases with a calming effect to allow him to speak with the angry dragon. After a few minutes, the gases began to calm her down and her movements began to slow. Seeing this as opportunity, the fire primordial performed an uppercut and rapidly kicked her belly. Rudely awakened, the dragon began to attack with more fury and overwhelmed the smaller primordial.

As more bruise like spots appeared on the primordial's body, the dragon increased her pace and used much of her power and stamina in an attempt to kill him violently. "Hahahahaha! Feel my wrath deceiver!" As much as the others want to interfere, Ouranos told them to stay out of it and they remembered that the creator chose Ouranos as their leader for a reason. So, they respected his judgement and did not interfere.

Perses is badly beaten, his body being crushed by the dragon primordial's claw. "Any last words insolent one?" The fire primordial had no more strength to even speak as he felt his soul slowly leave his body. Just before Tiamat could crush the primordial and end him, a voice boomed throughout the realm. "Tiamat, spare your brother's life." Turning her heads toward the voice's direction, she found the creator floating silently in the void.

She immediately let him go and prostrated, followed by the rest. "As you all know, you were teleported here and all of you suddenly became infinitely more powerful." Said the creator. "Well, I did that in order to let my plans work. Which involves all of you staying here, being unknown. But, you will still have your duties which shall be done remotely in order to hide your existence. Any questions?"

In unison, they all replied, "No, creator. Your will be done." "Good. You can do anything you want in this realm. I created it for all of you and only for all of you, just make yourselves at home." "Thank you, almighty creator." Said the primordials simultaneously. The creator then left, in order to sleep once more and enter the silurian age for more titans and sightseeing. As for the primordials of this land, they began fashioning the realm to their wants as their children also begin to appear.

If I, the author gained the power to create anything I want. What would I make?

This is a wish fulfillment novel for myself because I have the tendency to try and create something. Also, it's because I read world creation novels and it's usually not satisfying enough for me. So, it led me to make this.

Note: MC will switch appearances and genders a lot. This is because of the concept of Incarnation and how he would like to appear depending on his need or just because he likes it.

Also, if you see the MC genderbend, don't jump to conclusions, the female avatars will be discarded and gifted to others at later chapters. For the rest of the story after Arc 3, the creator will always appear as a male or genderless avatar. Also, please be tolerant about the info dumps because I'm more of a detail writer than a plot writer.

Hope you enjoy and leave a review!

Note 2.0: Have mercy on me readers!

"Good morrow everyone. I believed everyone had their meals earlier and refreshments would be served shortly after. Today's meeting had been prepared earlier and please take a look at the notes before you so that we would be able to recap what's to be discussed today."

"Do not be surprised as the paper before you had been reproduced in the realm of His Majesty's mind and this would be a breakthrough for everyone here in this meeting board as I do not have to write a lot of things on the writing slate to explain what we would be discussing today."

"This would make the meeting short and sharp and we could delve directly into the heart of the matter. Would that be alright as we commence the meeting right now?" Heather began to reach for the set of papers before her as she shuffled it accordingly to what she would be discussing later on.

I sat beside her and watched how she managed to confidently chair the meeting and I'm sure she had her confidence piqued by the set of rocks that was dangling around her neck right now. Hahaha...!

The twins were sitting quietly in between us as they sipped on the warm milk that had been dispensed from the copper tun within the domain.

"Aye, Your Majesty. We can commence the meeting right now." one of the senior members announced as Heather stood up and began to pick the sheets of papers in her hands as she announces the production of the following health and beauty products that would be introduced.

"The first order of the day would be directed to Hendry here as he would be the key person to look for these herbs that would be able to reproduce these colour pigments."

"We would be producing a product called the basic makeup foundation powder. It would be made of the following ingredients such as what had been written on the sheets of paper before you."

"The process to make them would be as adding the Arrowroot Powder, then add Ground Cinnamon and Nutmeg and lastly Olive Oil. It's a mix of 50/40/10."

"The intensity of the tone could be adjusted accordingly by adding or reducing the amount ratio for the ground cinnamon and nutmeg."

"I believed Mama Kayla here uses these in her cooking before and Jennings may have used it in her baking too as well."

"Fortunately olive oil is being used in this production of the basic makeup foundation powder and the container they would be used would be the same as the toothpaste. The application brush would be like the tip of a cat's tail, unlike the paintbrushes that Marcel had brought with him before."

Heather went to the writing slate and drew a brush with a cat's tail at the end and much like the blusher that she would be mentioning later. She explained that the basic makeup foundation powder is like a whitewash paint before someone puts another set of colour to their walls et cetera.

When Heather put it that way, the senior members of the board laughed at how she described the basic makeup foundation powder and after explaining it to them, they finally understood that it needs to hold the rest of other makeup. 

Without the basic makeup foundation powder, there would not be much different for the user. After she looked at the ratio ingredients of the makeup, she decides that the shade would be more than one and at least the ladies form the upper-class could choose to make their skin tone to be darker or even paler than a vampire...!

Everyone laughed at her poking fun at the upper class and Maricel who was sitting beside Marcel was blushing as she was considered as one herself.

When Maricel had read the sheets of papers in front of her, only then she realised the potential of the economic structure of this town because of these products, the popularity, as well as the recognition of the town and its products, would be known throughout the lands...!

"The next product would be the eyeliner that His Majesty claimed to make the eyes become bigger. For those ladies out there who had smaller eyes, this would be used to enhance the eyes and also make it more prominent. That's what His Majesty mentioned to me last night...! "

"The ingredients would be simple and all it would need is the activated charcoal, by itself, or mixed as a water-based, aloe vera gel-based and coconut oils based. Its composition mixture is 90/10. This product has one colour but 4 types. As for the coconut oils, we can set it aside for the moment."

"This eyeliner could use the perfume vials if it is simpler to store and at the end of the cap, an applicator brush would also be implemented. In accordance with the drawing, you may see that it looked like a tiny paintbrush with short bristles on the end of a thin stick."

"This eyeliner, as the name suggests, would be drawn just underneath the eye here. A sample would be welcome so a test subject would be used to apply all these products on her. At least we have a live demonstration so everyone would know the uses of each product."

"Next, we move on to the lipsticks that come in a clear gloss which consists of coconut oil, beeswax, butter and essence."

"Once again, coconut oil is being used here and this project could be in process waiting for the main ingredient to arrive. The ratio for this would be 50/25/25." 

"The Essense would be just a few spoonfuls. A double boiler would be used to melt the beeswax, then add coconut oil and butter. Once it's cool, add the essence."

"As for the colour shading and intensity add ⅛,¼,½ pounds of beet, cinnamon or turmeric to have the colours of pink, light brown or golden brown. Our lipsticks would come in 3 colours and 9 shades, making it a total of 27 different types altogether."

Heather paused for a while and recap the whole list of products that would be introduced such as 4 to 6 shades for the basic makeup foundation powder, 1 shade for the eyeliner and 27 types of lipsticks of various shades.

"Our next product would be the eye shadows that also use Arrowroot powder and butter. The ratio would be 80/20."

"Use the beet, cinnamon or turmeric to have pink, light brown or golden brown depending on a mix of accordingly to adjust their intensity."

"This eye shadow has 9 colours based on the shades of their intensity."

"Last but not least, would be the blusher which would be made up of 3 ingredients too. Arrowroot powder, beetroot for pink, annatto for orange, madder root powder for red to purple and activated charcoal."

"The mix would be 45/45/10, 40/40/20 and 35/35/30 for 3 colours and 3 shade. There are 9 variants altogether."

"Actually, we won't mind having multiple shades at least the upper-class ladies would be able to choose what kind of intensity they wished for on paint on their cheeks to give a natural and permanent blush."

As everyone had their pieces of papers with all the ingredients and how to process would be for every single product, there are one more items that had not nene discussed and that would be the nail polish.

During the medieval period, the Viking Ireland used madder root to colour their fingernails where it was crushed and let the paste over their nails until it was dry. 

However, we have decided to push it forward a little bit by adding more varieties of colour pigments to it to make it more attractive. 

This time, Heather had done talking and it was my turn to stand up and speak to the senior members of the board regarding the last product that would revolutionise painted nails for the girls and women from all ages and classes. 

Since colouring of the fingernails was only used to the extremely wealthy, this product would be available to all classes instead. 

Of course, with Marcel's ingenious way of marketing, those products available in the local markets would definitely be 4 to 5 times cheaper than those found in the upper markets. 

That's how the little devil managed to bring in extra income to his own personal wealth since we do not pay him a single coin for his role in our town.

"Hendry, these tasks would be for you. Since there was a mention of arrowroot, beetroot, cinnamon, nutmeg, annatto, madder and turmeric, we would need you to source out another few more roots that would be able to give off another few more colour pigments such as violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, prang, red, black, white, silver and gold."

"It is more like a challenge for you but I'm sure with your special abilities, you could source them out with ease, one at a time. Even though its already mid-Autumn and most of the herbs would go defoliate and hibernate soon, you may start during springtime."

"Would you be up for the task given to you to undertake? Your wife and daughter would be the best working partner in this field of work and we would like to dedicate a conducive working environment for you of your choice of location."

When Priest Hendry heard that a dedicated workplace for his herbalist family to work and service the community, they were really ecstatic. 

At least they have a place where they could cultivate and harvest much sought after herbs they would not be able to grow steadily under normal conditions and needs the utmost care.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I accept the tasks bestowed upon my family and we would strive to serve the community in this way." 

I stand corrected as I replied to him, "Not just to the community, Hendry but also to the economy of this town. Besides, how's the water that you had used on the barren herbal farmlands? Is there any results yet?" 

"Oh... We have yet to mention it to you. Last night after you had left, we watered the whole barren lands of the herbal farm and today morning, we saw a lot of young tenderlings began to sprout from the withered stems of the plants."

"It was as if it had been given a chance in life and earlier before we came over where, we saw that the sprouts had nene aplenty and it was as if the withered stems of this plants had grown itself into shrubs and bushes...!" 

"It was defying nature despite being in mid-autumn and it's blooming as we speak...!" Priest Hendry remarked as they discussed among the rest of the senior members of the board who curiously asked what had happened and it was narrated in full length. 

Even Priestess Penelope was equally surprised and delighted to know that the Psi Energy orbs were able to defy nature's course and seasons. 

She wondered if the same could be applied to the crop fields but decided not to since it would be break time for the farmers after toiling for a solid 9 months in the fields. 

But it would be a boon to use it for the orchard trees behind the domain and towards the Eastern part of the town square instead. 

"That's pretty good, Hendry. We hope it stays that way and remembers to fill the water up regularly. At least the energy essence inside it would not be used up and would also ways be refilled."

I advised as we moved on to the next subject — Alicia the Alchemist. 

"Alicia, it would be a high time for you to have your own conducive environment to work with  and at least you would not be cooped up together with the factories as you meddle with your ingredients." 

"We would need you to discover, along with Marcel and his cans of pain that he had used for the Granary before, to break down its component ingredients and isolate the following — ethyl acetate and an organic polymer."

"These two ingredients along with the colour pigments produced by Hendry would come hand in hand to produce a product called nail polish. It would come in 11 colours with 3 lighter and 3 darker shades. It would also be enhanced with some Psi Energy orbs to nourishes the nails after the nail polish had been applied."

"The drawing for the brush is on the paper in front of you so you would have some ideas on how the nail polish would be applied."

"Now, in order for these to work, which areas do you want your buildings to be constructed so research would be underway as soon as the buildings had bend completed?"

I asked and Heather pushed the minimap of our town square towards the conference table as Hendry and Alicia looked at the best location for their trade buildings would be next located. 

"Here it is, Your Majesty. We both would like to have the buildings erected along Wealth Avenue." Hendry and Alicia both agreed to the location so be placed next to one another along with the Treasury and also the Town Council building. 

I nodded my head in approval as the engineers marked those zones to construct two single-story buildings to accommodate the production and setting up of both the herbalogy's and alchemist's departments. 

Two small models of business buildings were placed on the minimap and that settled the current issue at hand. I saw the empty spaces near the factories and asked the engineers of how many factories they would be able to fit in there. 

"We would be able to construct further up to 9 factories, Your Majesty. We would be taking up some space within the orchards on this end here but it would not affect the whole orchard areas. Do you want the structures to be ready first or the samples first then?"

Hearing this, Heather replied that she would need to see the samples of all the products first before Ben would be able to deploy how many workers per factory according to the number of shifts. 

Besides, the samples would be good to be produced so adjustments would be made before the final product would be finalised. 

Maricel, who sat beside Marcel had already marked out several potential targets of cities and towns around her area of influence and this was agreed by her husband.

 At least these two heads would be working better than one as it would be then able to reap in the profits they would be rolling in once the products had been formally manufactured. 

With that, after Heather had recap the number of products and what they need to produce for the samples, she adjourned the meeting. 

Everyone was eager to embark on their projects at hand and they were also anticipating the wrestling match that would be held later in a few hours. 

"How did I do, my dear? Is everything up to your expectations?" Heather asked as I gave her two thumbs up and kissed her on her lips and said, "Never been better, my dear. It is absolutely P-U-R-R-F-E-C-T...!"

During the period of 1337-1453, a terrible war broke in Medieval England and that period was called (Hundred Year's War) and a huge turmoil ensued between the England and France with the involvement of rebels as well as opportunists. 

Prince Audemars Macleod, a descendent of King Richard Macleod of Darlington had barely managed to escape with his life when the Manor he was living in was besieged by rebels in 1440, when he was just barely 18 years old.

Let us travel through time and relive the experiences of this young Prince as he was forced to 'banished' and survive with some followers they entrusted their lives with him.

Little did he realise that he was actually living in the past of his future and had no recollection of anything except when he was narrated by a Seer that had been inducted as a permanent resident of the town he founded later.

*This is a fictional world. Most plants, vegetables, fruits and certain animals didn't exist in England that time.

*Almost all novels start off with a system. This does not reveal any hint of a system until you get to almost halfway through the novel. 

* Mobsters are included in the later chapters of this novel too. 

*This is a slow grind so bear with it as the storyline develops. Thank you and happy reading...

Later that night, I stood in the middle of a clearing in pitch blackness. An owl hooted, and I rubbed my hands together. How did I get myself into these situations? I suppose, in the end, I just didn't want to be the one left out. It started out so simple and everything just kept spiraling out of control.

"Psst…" I looked around, not quite sure where the voice came from. "I'm over here."

I looked up in a tree. Andrew stood on one of the branches, seemingly without effort. He wore a tight white shirt that seemed to almost glow with light in the darkness. It outlined his pectorals and abs quite nicely if I do say so myself. Why did he keep having to wear tight shirts that showed off his abs? Well, at least it was better than being naked. Or was it? I considered the thought briefly before discarding it. Those were thoughts for my alone time.

"Will you be okay? You don't have to do this if you don't want," Andrew offered.

"Will you stop fraternizing with the bait?" Rune snapped. His voice came from a bush on ground level.

"Hey, you're supposed to be keeping watch, making sure that whatever this is doesn't come up on us without warning!" Andrew replied back.

"If you would both please be quiet, then this plan has a chance of coming to fruition. I apologize, but it won't work if you two don't play your parts," a whisper came from a farther distance away.

Andrew blushed with embarrassment, then leaped onto another branch and climbed away. How was he able to keep his balance like that? He was like a spider monkey. I was expecting him to throw poo next.

"Jane… if you don't want to do this, we don't…" Rune's voice stopped for a second, "What I'm saying is we just want you to be safe, and I don't like using you as bait."

"It's fine Rune," I responded, "But thanks."

However, when he turned to walk away, my emotions were turbulent. What exactly had I agreed to do tonight? I was beginning to think my own curiosity was going to get me killed. At least for tonight, I had three boys here to protect me. One of them couldn't die and the others had their own secrets. Still, what brought me to this point? Oh yes…

"What were you two doing in the closet together?" Andrew tried to keep a cool face as the pair of us pushed through the door and separated.

The pair of them had just seen us in the closet together and I was at a complete loss for what to say. Rune looked a tad angry today. I supposed he had reasons to feel that way after I had tasered him.

"We need to get to class or we'll be late," I tried to explain.

"I think we all need to have a sit down right about now," Rune chided.

Stephan sighed. "Alright, we all have lunch together; let's meet in the art room at lunch. It's empty at that time."

The three of them gave a nod to each other before breaking away. Well, I guess I wasn't going to be consulted on this big private meeting. I don't know why it bugged me so much. We should probably talk things out and the art room would be a good place to meet. Still, it felt almost like I was in a big tug-of-war. Maybe I should bring the taser to the art room. They could all use a little lesson in how to treat a lady.

Lunch came quickly, and I managed to duck out before a shocked Samantha could grab me and subject me to another series of obnoxious questions. I went up to the art room and, surprisingly, all three boys were already there. Andrew and Rune shot angry looks at each other, which was nothing new. However, Andrew seemed to throw a few angry looks at Stephan as well. Rune seemed cautious but indifferent towards Stephan, while Stephan remained politely neutral to the pair of them.

"What did I miss?" I asked, joining the three of them.

"Your friend was just telling us about his little condition," Andrew said, his voice sounding cold, even for him.

"I don't really care one way or the other. He explained himself; we can move on. I'd rather have you tell me why I woke up smothered in cross markings and shaving cream. I still have a pounding headache and a twitch," Rune demanded.

"He's an abomination," Andrew responded vehemently, ignoring Rune.

"Who isn't an abomination to your kind?" Rune snapped back.

I pricked my ears at that, but the pair must have noticed and descended into dark stares instead. Well, it was too much to hope for that I'd hear more.

"Well I don't know about being an abomination," Stephan offered to try to fill the stressful silence, "but I try to use my second life for good. Stopping people that mean harm and the like."

Andrew threw up his hands, shaking his head in irritation.

"Well, I do want to apologize to you, Rune," I spoke up. "I accidentally knocked you unconscious and we sort of fell down some stairs. I left you with Andrew. I don't know what you mean by cross marks and shaving cream."

Rune suddenly turned darkly to Andrew, who started to smirk despite himself.

"Hey, don't look at me," Andrew chuckled, "She's the one who tasered you."

Rune looked back at me. "You…tasered me?"

"I'm sorry! You grabbed me…and I was scared."

"I was just seeing if you were alright!" Rune defended.

"That might have been my fault," Stephan raised his hand calmly. "I might have freaked her out a bit. She found me in pretty bad shape last night."

"Well isn't that just perfect." Rune leaned back. "You scared her within an inch of her life and she rewards you with seven minutes in heaven and she hit me with a taser."

"Rune, that's not what happened," I defended vehemently.

What's seven minutes in heaven?

Stephan seemed to blush a bit and Andrew was a little more irritated. Maybe it wasn't something good. I'd have to ask Samantha later. I checked my twitter feed. Samantha's latest post was 'Jane's getting it on with Stephan in the second-floor closet, reward if you get pictures'. Well, now I knew how Rune and Andrew found me. Samantha, that snake. It looked like I needed to add another to the taser list.

"Please guys, none of this would have happened if it weren't for the creature that got me. I may or may not be an abomination, but this creature thought nothing of ripping me in half and I've been tracking it for months. It's the most active during the full moon, which is tonight. It's been kidnapping people; killing animals; scaring townsfolk. If there is something you want to focus your aggression on, that would be it."

Andrew seemed to think about it for a moment. "If this is as dangerous as you claim, then I'll be willing to help you stop it."

"Well there is no way I'm letting you have all the fun. I'll catch this thing before either of you can blink," Rune spoke up, sounding surprisingly chipper compared to moments before.

"I appreciate your willingness to help." Stephan nodded. "but the person whose help I really need is Jane's."

"Why Jane?" Rune asked at the same time Andrew said, "Absolutely not."

Stephan looked at each of them, then me, before speaking. "The creature seems to be attracted to women more than men. I don't know why, but in order to have any chance of catching it before someone else goes missing, I'm going to need some bait."

I shuddered as a particularly cold breeze struck me. Before I knew it, I was in the middle of the forest, waiting for some creature to attack me so they could trap it. It really was ridiculous when you thought about it. A sudden large howl came out from the darkness not too far away.

"It's near!" whispered Stephan.

The three men converged in the direction of the howl, leaving me to nothing but my thoughts. I didn't even know what to think. I didn't know if I was excited, frightened, or what. Perhaps I was an adrenaline junky. Maybe that's what coming out here in the middle of the night to my favorite park was; just my way of getting my next buzz. Maybe there was something seriously wrong with me. Like 50 Shades of Grey wrong with me.

A growling sound came from the direction the three boys had run. I turned in that direction, but I could make nothing out in the darkness.

"Stephan? Andrew? Rune?" I called out.

There was no response. The growling grew louder and closer. Oh no! Whatever it was had gotten past them. I backed up several steps. I kept backing up until I backed right into a tree. When the growling ceased, I let out a sigh of relief. Well, at least there was nothing in front of me to be concerned about. I took in a deep breath. The forest smelled great, like maple leaves. The tree was also quite comfortable. It was warm and cozy; hard yet soft at the same time, it's rhythmic breathing giving me something I could fall asleep to.

Wait… trees don't… The hands grabbed me and I tried to let out a scream, but it was too late. A hand was around my mouth and I was pulled out of the small clearing. My face was covered with the massive hand, making it difficult to see anything, but it was clear that I was being carried somewhere. The enormous monster that was carrying me seemed to run with a steady rhythm, his deep breaths forming a mist in the air. I just couldn't get a good look at his face.

Demons, werewolves, and vampires, oh my! One fateful night, Jane finds out the hottest boy at school is a being with supernatural abilities and Jane’s life will never be the same. Hawtness, a nickname for the ten hottest boys at Fairmont High, each have a deadly supernatural secret more ludicrous than the last. As Jane stumbles into a supernatural world she wasn’t prepared for, she stops wondering which hot guy she should date, and starts wondering how she can make it through high school alive!

Five and Dreidus have long lost any form of contact with the Shades. There was no way for them to obtain any information about the army with the Encantado. The only information Dreidus was receiving came from the Undead fighting the massive army. 

The first line of defense fell and soon, the second line followed. The second line of defense consisted of monsters living on the fifth to the seventh floor. There were Death knights, Abominations, Mylingars, Zombeasts, Corpse Eaters and so on. Their levels ranged from level 20 to level 30.

The second line of defense was far stronger than the first one. It was better structured and the monsters there held a variety of abilities. They fought on the sixth floor, the one resembling marshlands. The environment was advantageous to most Undead Monsters aside from the Death Knights who could not gather enough momentum for their charge. 

The other reason for choosing this floor was that it was connected to the forest. The forest biome only had six floors; the invaders were now forced to enter the marshlands if they wanted to progress any further. This arrangement put a lot of pressure on the monsters. Nevertheless, the marshland was soon filled with corpses of goblins and orcs.

The enemy monsters died one after another. Their corpses piled up in the marshland but similarly, the second line of defense lost a lot of Undead. They managed to hold their ground but the situation changed as soon as the Ogryns and Onis stepped on the sixth floor. The second line of defense was obliterated in an instant.

In the meanwhile, Five and Dreidus arrived at the third and final line of defense. It was where all the remaining monsters were at. The ninth floor was usually protected by the Nosferatu but they were absent this time. The ninth floor consisted of a series of large rooms and short corridors. It was decorated to look like a giant party was taking place. The floor was huge but with so many monsters, it felt very crowded.

A few monsters still remained on the tenth floor. They consisted mainly of the craftsmen; these monsters were not very suited for battle and went to hide in their village. The Flame Sisters and Flame Belle were also protecting Tinyland.

"The second line has fallen. They should arrive here soon," said Dreidus with a serious expression.

"It is to be expected. What are the results?"

"Most of the enemies have fallen but the line collapsed when the Ogryns and Oni appeared. As for the Encantado... I don't know what monsters are coming with it but it should be the third and final wave. As long as we can hold on, everything will be fine. Based on the rate at which the Shades died, they should not be walking too quickly. It is good news for us; we'll be able to deal with the weaker monsters before they arrive," answered Dreidus.

The only real challenge was the Encantado and the monsters accompanying him. He was already at level 50; ten levels above Dreidus. If Harriet was here, it would not have been a problem. However, to console themselves, Five and Dreidus concluded that the other dungeon should be experiencing similar difficulties.

"Position the mechs properly! They will be the one to tank the damage first. Then, the Living Corpses will follow!" commanded Dreidus.

Five nodded to the monsters as he walked past them. There was no need for motivational speeches to raise their morale. Five was not very talkative and certainly did not have the necessary charisma to act as a leader. The only reason he was here instead of staying by the dungeon core was to provide support with his buff and healing spells.

They waited and waited. The enemy monsters would need to cover a rather large distance before reaching the ninth floor. The rooms were dead silent until footsteps sounded coming from the stairs.

"Boom!"

As soon as the Ogryns stepped on the ninth floor, the mechs charged at them. The Ogryns had a large imposing stature but the mechs were not intimidated by it. They could not feel the terrorizing aura of the monsters and simply followed the commands given by the craftsmen. 

The mechs did not give the monsters any time to spread out on the floor; they fought right at the end of the stairs, using the narrow entrance to only have to fight two at a time. Nevertheless, the Ogryns were truly powerful. Slowly but surely, they pushed their way through, allowing more Ogryns to step on the ninth floor.

The mechs only had the strength of a level 30 monster. They paled in comparison to the level 35 Ogryns and the Onis following behind. Fortunately, there were many mechs and there were many models, each with their own specialty.

The Ogryns roared in anger while turning the mechs into scrap metal. The Onis behind them raised their wand, activating their spells. The mechs exploded upon being hit; even the model Gamma that had a higher defense than normal failed to absorb more than two spells.

Five could not see the battle from his location but he could hear the explosions. He was standing next to the stairs to the tenth floor with Dreidus and Lyra. 

"Is everything alright?"

"Yes. The mechs are containing the Ogryns in the first room. Let's send the mirror spirits! If they are here, we might be able to stop their advance right there."

In the first room, the Onis once again activated their spells but this time, several Level 36 Mirror Spirits appeared. They chuckled as they activated their innate ability: [Reflection]. All the magical projectiles were sent back to their casters. The Onis got a taste of their own spells. 

With the help of the Mirror Spirits, the mechs were able to fight back. The Ogryns were unable to gain any ground and soon, the last Oni fell. Even the terrifying Boss Monsters were unable to fight the Mirror Spirit King and perished under the combined attacks of hundreds of mechs. More than eighty percent of the mechs were destroyed but in the end, they managed to contain the monsters in the first room.

The mechs bought a few moments of peace but the tension did not decrease at all. The monsters knew the most terrifying opponent had yet to come and at the moment, no one could face them alone. 

A few moments later, the sound of footsteps once again resonated in the first room. The mechs seemed to react to the sound and started vibrating, getting ready to spring into action. The first monster to step on the ninth floor was a handsome young man. The male idols paled in comparison to his chiseled physique and perfect face. His devilish charm could melt the heart of the most cold-hearted ladies. He wore a plain white shirt and a simple short. A straw hat was attached to his back. The young man was none other than the level 50 Encantado.

The gears of the mechs creaked as they jumped at the Encantado but before they could reach him, the Encantado reacted. He stood still with a relaxed expression but his body suddenly emitted an ear-piercing high-pitched cry that shook the entire dungeon.

Even Five who stood at the other end of the floor heard the cry and even lost 10 HP from the attack. It was the Encantado's skill: [Sonic Wave Superposition]. The damage dealt was inversely proportional to the distance traveled by the sound wave. 

With just this one skill, the first room was now covered with gears and metal parts. All the mechs broke down from the sonic attack and the resulting vibrations.

"Boring! Those mechs could not even resist a single attack!" The Encantado nonchalantly played with his short brown hair.

"Makrail! Stop wasting time. I want to return to the dungeon." A voice sounded behind the Encantado. It was a Chuiael, a variant of the succubus. Behind her, more monsters stepped onto the ninth floor. Together, the monsters released a powerful aura; they were all above level 40.

Makrail, the Encantado lightly chuckled. "Fine. I also want to go back to bed. Let's liven up this place then, shall we?"

He raised his hand as he activated the ability he obtained from the dungeon core: [Pheromone Release]. Countless invisible particles contaminated the air of the dungeon. Next to Makrail, the Chuiael raised her hands in a similar fashion and activated the same ability.

With both male and female pheromones in the air, the monsters of the dungeon would not be able to escape their effect. Unfortunately, they were bound to be disappointed. 99% of the monsters of the floor were not affected at all by the pheromones.

In the final room, Dreidus frowned. "Lyra. Take your spirit form and inform the other wailing ladies to do so too."

"What? Why?" asked Lyra. She nevertheless complied.

"The enemy is releasing pheromones in the air. You are still an Undead Monster and cannot reproduce but I cannot say for sure that you won't be affected. It is better to be safe. The monsters on the next floor should be out of reach. At least for now... Master, it would be better if you leave this floor."

At the same time, Five's expression darkened.

[System prompt: You have been afflicted by pheromones. Prolonged exposition to the pheromones will worsen the debuff. Intelligence and Wisdom -2. Ejaculate once to remove the debuff.]

After being betrayed, framed and kicked down to the ground, our protagonist was sentenced to life imprisonment. But a few days later, a global disaster occurred, people from all nations migrated to underground refuges.

As a prisoner, he thought his life was over, abandoned by everyone. However, he wakes up, greeted by Gaia, the person responsible for New Earth.

New Earth was a second chance for him, watch as he builds up his own dungeon and become known by all as the Emperor of Madness

Note that this is a slow novel and dungeon building only takes place after 40 chapters

712 A.R.R, THE SHIPYARDS OF CORELLIA:


The shipyards were more busy than ever. Everyone was quite excited. The Corellians were famous for their wonder lust throughout the galaxy. Alexander had given his Corellians subjects, the responsibility of exploring the deep core and building base camps on the habitable planets. Excitement was palatable in the air. Hundreds of capital ships were being  prepared for departure. Each ship was being loaded with all the items needed for the building of base camps and communication towers. 


In order to camoflogue this operation, Alexander had the Corellian government  buy 500 habitable planets from the P.T.O in bulk. Alexander himself had financed the purchase and also had the chairman of PTO give 5 percent discount on the overall amount. This sparked a competition between various core worlds and mega corporations to buy habitable planets in bulk. The Kuatians alone brought 1,500 habitable planets in bulk. Alexander had in in stroke had managed to gain extra 15,000 habitable planets as a part of his kingdom. 


Till now, PTO had sold 30,000 habitable planets and 60,000 inhabitable planets. The whole galaxy was expriencing a massive economy boom right now and even the outer rim had been affected. Alexander had stopped paying attention to the monetary figures when the Intergalactic Banking Clan was completely brought under Alexander's control. All the people working in all the banking institutions of the galaxy were his subjects and all the properties owned by the Banking Clan were conquered by him. Now, Alexander had bases over nearly all the settled planets of the galaxy. Like all the previous contracts, these bulk contracts also stated that the planets would be Alexander's in 50 years. As a result of this mass buying, a great exodus of people left the core worlds; inner and mid rims and also, some people from outer rim also moved to these newly brought planets.



In these two years, Alexander's forces were fully focussed on conquest and had conquered 10,000 planets for his kingdom. Alexander had found that his kingdom's flag along with his forces had to remain on a planet's surface for one month, for that planet to be conquered completely. If the flag is removed after one week, only the crust would be conquered, two weeks for crust and mantle and a whole month for the whole planet. It was also found that the forces had to face relentless assualt of the local life for the first week. Earthquakes and other natural calamities for the second week and; sudden and exteme rise and fall in temperature for the rest of the two weeks along with natural calamities. Thankfully, the camps were made of quantum metal and enchanted fabrics so no extreme difficulty was expreienced during conquest . Most of the native life died till the end of conquest and after the conquest was complete, a rapid healing of the planet occured and all the lost life was restored. This was all pretty beautiful to witness.


Most of the conquered planets didn't have any native life except harmless plants so the conquest was easy till now. A few lives had been lost but the afterlife ensured that they were not lost forever. Alexander had made his criminal subjects the main driving force behind the conquest. Alexander also found that the souls of these people were in different shades of black depending on the crimes committed by them and it took more time for the afterlife to absorb and clean them. So, the good souls are reincarnated first while the bad souls have to wait for few hundred years. 


 Alexander had conquered these planets so that the population boom in  his kingdom, which occurs after every conquest, can be withstood. While, Alexander was busy in conquest of empty planets, the droids released by his scientists had completely mapped out the galaxy. The galaxy had 8.2 million habitable planets which were so scattered that the primitive droids were not able to detect all of them and the Republic never tried to gather more Intel as 3.2 million habitable planets were more than enough. 


The Resources Department under Anna ordered full deployment of kingdom's forces to assimilate this planets. The current population of star wars galaxy was estimated to be 8 quintrillion. The experts of the kingdom were sweating buckets at the thought of the massive population boom that would occur when all these beings are brought into the kingdom. All the possible resource planets were marked for conquest as the experts were afraid that the resources of the kingdom would come short and they would not be able to support the new population. It was estimated that it would take 250 years to conquer all the marked planets. Alexander ordered the PTO to step up it's operations and start selling more planets in bulk. 


The exploration of deep core was very important as the 58 percent of the resources of the galaxy were concentrated in the deep core. The planets present were all at least 2 times bigger than the size of earth and the most important fact was that the number of planets were decreasing each day as more and more stars got destroyed taking the planets with them. The droids designed by Dr. Anderson had been in production for two years and were exploring the deep core. The droids had performed exceptionally well in the deep core and had helped in exploring all the outer edges of deep core. Around 7,000 habitable planets and 18,000 inhabitable planets with high resource density were found by the HSR droids in their sweep of the outer edges. 


The design of a fully powered up HSR inspired the Starship Development Wing of The R&D Department to build starships in shape of various  helms. They brought the whole design of HSR from the  HSR Development Team at 100 Billion Fortis Credits. The new range of starships being developed were collectively called, ' The Helm Series Megacarriers ' and the only megacarrier they had produced till now was 'THE HERMES' which had shocked the whole kingdom. The carrier looked as a giant version of a fully powered up HSR Droid. The Hermes personified one thing and one thing only, speed. It was capable of moving at a maximum speed of 5 Million light years a day. This was possible because of the three 'Sister Drives' installed on the ship. 


As the experiments had shown, there cannot be more than one hyperdrive on a starship, it doesn't matter if the other hyperdrive was connected to the ship or not, the hyperdrive would blast as soon as the ship tries to enter the hyperspace. The scientists had found that each hyperdrive had a unique energy signature and it constantly releases undetectable energy waves which form a shield around the ship, which protects the ship and it's inhabitants from the hyperspace. This energy waves causes any other hyperspace to distablise and explode. The sister drives were an answer to this.


 Each sister drive were connected and formed a part of a bigger hyperdrive which drove the Hermes. The drives were enchanted to have the same energy signature so all of them were able to work together. The compartments holding the sister drives were the most guarded parts of the megacarrier. The Hermes was capable of diving itself into 3 parts housing one sister drive each. Actually, THE HERMES was the combined form of three different StarCarriers which all housed a sister drive. The Star Carrier was inspired by the aircraft carrier of earth and were developed to carry kingdom's capital ships from one place to another. As it was not possible to hide the movement of thousands of starships, the scientists of the kingdom developed the Star Carriers to house the Capital Ships for transport.


 The Star Carriers were equipped with the best camoflague shields the kingdom had, which  enabled the Star Carriers to move undetected to raders and naked eyes in space. Each star carrier was capable of housing 50 Capital Ships but the star carriers forming the part of the Hermes were capable of housing 5,000 capital ships each. Each capital ship was kept inside a isolation shield which completely isolated them from outside.  This was done so that the energy signature of the hyperdrive of the carriers don't cause the hyperdrives of capital ships to explode. This was only required at the time of entering and existing the hyperspace.


 The Hermes was a giant behemoth of a ship that measured 400 kilometers in height and 75 kilometers in width and 250 kilometers in length. The Megacarrier was made to transport massive amount of troops and ships to war in a speedy and timely manner. The face side of the ship housed the main facilities and weapons of the ship but that doesn't mean that the back and sides of the ship were defenceless. 


The back and sides of the ship didn't have anti-matter cannons but they were lined with powerful turboblasters, energy cannons and ion cannons, hidden inside compartments, giving the behemoth a very streamlined body, which was necessary for effective movement and turning. In fact, all the weapons were hidden inside compartments to make the surface of the ship smoother and streamlined. The body was made so streamlined with the help of magic that there was literally no friction if the ship entered the atmosphere. There were powerful anti-matter cannons fitted at the front of the ship, below the 'eyes' of the carrier which when activated looked like little purple openings made for providing air to the warrior wearing the helm. Frankly, it looked quite awesome. The geeks of the kingdom had heart attacks when the megacarrier was first introduced in it's powered up state to the subjects of kingdom.


The eyes of the carrier were in fact massive laser cannons having an diameter of 20 kilometers. The laser fired by the cannon was able to travel 50 million light years before dissipating. The lasers could be fired once an hour and it took 10 minutes of preparation before it could be fired. The scientists had taken note of the way, the various similar superweapons of the galactic empire were destroyed and designed the 'eyelids' which were 15 kilometers thick and made of magically enhanced quantum metal. The cannons were fired as soon as the lids were opened and quickly closed again after firing. The structure of the cannon was such that even if they were destroyed, it would not effect the working of the whole megacarrier. 



It took the scientists 5 years to develop the design of Hermes, 200 years to develop the necessary facilities and additional 80 years to produce Hermes. The scientists had not asked Alexander to  increase the time frame by so much in his kingdom but had requested  
Alexander to copy the method used by the Rakata to build their prison world and star forge. The star forge was upgraded and made to run both on force without the taint of darkside and powerful anti-matter engines. Alexander had copied the process and passed it down to the scientists. 



Then, the mad scientists were called in and they used a ritual which demanded the sacrifice of thousands of souls to power itself. The ritual decreased the flow of time in a given area. The ritual was used to slow down the time around a remote star system which required the sacrifice of billions of lives. All the criminals which were given death penalities in the kingdom were put to sleep and used as a means to power the ritual. Around 250 Million beings were sacrificed to build the prison world and the star forge. After that, the ritual was used once again to surround the prison world and star forge, again, 250 Million beings were sacrificed. After all this, another 60 Million death row criminals were utilised in another ritual that was used to construct 6,000 fully equipped and armed capital ships for the Megacarrier. All of this had left a bag taste in Alexander's mouth but he didn't falter. Alexander knew that the galaxy was filled with trillions of beings which deserved deaths so he planned to use them to build more facilities like the one used to bulid the Hermes.


713 A.R.R, THE EXPLORER'S CONTROL ROOM: 


The Explorer was the command center of the Corellian capital ships which had left 6 months ago to lead an expedition to the deep core. In order to fool the galaxy, they were going to take a long route before entering the deep core. There was a meeting taking place in the control room. 

Iss'ek, the commander of the Corellian expediition fleet, asked in confusion to the woman in front of him, " What do you mean, Imperial Officer Aleena? These are not the coordinates for entering the deep core. This region of galaxy is not visited by anyone and is filled with gas giants which makes the hyperspace travel very difficult." 

The blond woman said in a patient voice, " These coordinates are our meet up point with our other fleets. After, everyone is gathered, we will leave for the deep core." 

Iss'ek, " How will so many capital ships enter the deep core undetected?" 

Aleena smiled a mysterious smile and said, " You will know and after seeing THAT, you will know the true might of our empire." 

Iss'ek was confused but did not probe further and ordered the entire expedition fleet to jump to the coordinates. It took them one week to arrive at the coordinates. There was a massive gas giant present near their arrival point. Their systems detected hundreds of capital ships around them and all of them were facing the gas giant. 

Aleena spoke up, " Move the fleet to face the gas giant. We were lucky that we arrived at the right time. A delay of one more day would have made us wait for one more week." 

Iss'ek asked, " What are we waiting for?" 

Aleena smiled and said, " You will see in a few hours later. Prepare to be awed, Commander Iss'ek. You are going to see the current pinnacle of our empire." 

Iss'ek was now curious and decided to humor the officer. After a few hours, there was some movement in the atmosphere of the gas giant in front of them, all the personnel on the deck were alerted. Iss'ek turned towards Officer Aleena and saw her literally standing on her toes with a look of excitement, awe and anticipation on her face. Iss'ek was confused at her unusual behaviour and spoke up, " Officer Aleena..." 


Aleena turned to glare at Iss'ek and said, " SHUSH YOU!!! Let me enjoy this moment. You should also pay attention to the front, this is once in a lifetime moment." Iss'ek's ears reddened in embarrassment as he heard the stifled laughter of the personnel on the deck and turned to look resolutely outside towards the gas giant. After a few minutes, Iss'ek could see something coming out of the gas giant. First, two massive golden structures came out of the atmosphere at  a distance of tens of miles. The only reason no one opened fire, was because all the weapons systems were disarmed on arriving at the coordinates on the orders of Aleena. Then, after a few minutes the whole thing emerged out of the gas giant. It took several minutes for Iss'ek to regain enough of his mental facilities to ask in a shaky voice to the very smug looking Aleena , " W.....W....What's.....th....that?" 

Aleena replied, " He is THE HERMES. The current pinnacle of our empire. He is impressive, isn't he?" 

It was too much to take in for the expedition commander, Iss'ek and he fainted on the deck.

…
The rainbow-colored announcement filled the World Channel, repeating over and over again…
"No way…"
"The heck?!"
"What the f*ck is this?"
"I just arrived at the Sixth Demonic Domain! Who's the motherf*cking bad*ss?"
"Name Hidden? F*ck me, hey, you, First Killer! You got the balls to show your name?"
The World Channel was flooded with curses. The Sixth Demon God had died too quickly, and they could not accept it.
After all, only one group had managed to defeat the Seventh Demon God thus far, but now the Sixth Demon God had already been taken down. Was it any wonder they were mad?
"This makes no sense!"
…
[Congratulations! You've obtained the achievement, I Have Another Date with the Demon God.]
[Congratulations! You've obtained 5 Skill Points as a reward!]
[Congratulations! You've obtained 100 Demon-vanquishing Points.]
[Congratulations! You've leveled up!]
…
In the Demon God Halls, Li Ti listened to the cheerful jingles as he casually picked up the items the Sixth Demon God dropped.
He had not used any tricks to kill the Sixth Demon God, and had instead steamrolled it with pure skill with his ridiculously high Holy Point multiplier.
812 Holy Points were more than enough for him to kill the Sixth Demon God!
As a result, he succeeded, and the Sixth Demon God fell at his feet before it could even attack…
Of course, if he had not learned the OP skill, the True—Overlord Arrow, he would not have come to challenge the Sixth Demon God so soon, 812 Holy Points or not.
The True—Overlord Arrow was crucial to his victory over the Sixth Demon God.
[True Overlord Arrow (Learning Requirement: Level 1 Overlord Arrow): Shoots a powerful arrow with 1100% ATK, attacking all targets directly ahead. When the arrow hits a target, it can interrupt the target's casting. It also generates a formidable punch of momentum, knocking the target back…]
The Overlord Arrow was very powerful, but it was not an Assassination Archer's strongest skill. In order to unlock its full potential, the skill had to be upgraded.
Alenod had given Li Yi an Orange Quality Treasure Map, and this time he had gotten lucky. When he stuck his shovel in, a True Overlord Arrow Skill Tome had leaped out.
It was because he had this ridiculously OP skill that Li Yi had the guts to challenge the Sixth Demon God solo.
The Sixth Demon God dropped a decently impressive haul, including three random pieces of Purple Quality Equipment and three pieces from the Demon God Set, including two that Li Yi could use.
[Demon God's Hunter's Helmet (Purple Quality, Holy +11)]
[Equipment requirements: STR 2500]
[P-DEF +1000]
[M-DEF +1000]
[END +500]
[Special Effect: Recovers 10 MP every second.]
[Special Effect: Reduces all skill cooldown times by 10%.]
[Special Effect: Increases the level cap for all Archer Skills by 5. (Inactive. Requires the user to wear at least 3 Demon God Series equipment in order to activate).]
[Special Effect: Increases the level cap for all Archer Skills by 10. (Inactive. Requires the user to wear at least 6 Demon God Series equipment in order to activate).]
…
[Demon God's Hunter's Bracers (Purple Quality, Holy +9)]
[Equipment requirements: STR 1500]
[STR +1000]
[AGI +1000]
[END +500]
[Special Effect: Recovers 10 HP every second.]
[Special Effect: Increases SPD by 15%.]
[Special Effect: Increases the level cap for all Archer Skills by 5. (Active. Requires the user to wear more than 3 Demon God Series equipment in order to activate).]
[Special Effect: Increases the level cap for all Archer Skills by 10. (Inactive. Requires the user to wear at least 6 Demon God Series equipment in order to activate).]
…
Although the Demon God Equipment he had just obtained had fewer Holy Points than his existing equipment, Li Yi still equipped every piece happily. The Demon God Set had higher attributes than the Commander Set, but it also looked way cooler.
Li Yi now had three pieces from the Demon God Set.
They were the Demon God's Hunter's Breastplate, the Demon God's Hunter's Helmet, and the Demon God's Hunter's Bracers respectively.
The helmet had a pair of ox horns and two long horns growing from each shoulder. It looked quite brutal…
Now that he had equipped all three, all of his Archer Skills had their level cap increased by 5. His skills became significantly more powerful too.
On the other hand, Li Yi had no use for the three pieces of random equipment, and the last Demon God piece was for Wizards, so he could give it to Qian'er.
Other than the equipment, the Sixth Demon God also dropped an Archer Skill Tome, to Li Yi's immense satisfaction.
[Level 1 Extermination Arrow (Learning Requirement: Level 20 Elimination Arrow): The upgraded form of Elimination Arrow. When the target has less than 10% HP, there's a 100% chance of exterminating the enemy. When the target has less than 20% HP, there's a 50% chance of exterminating the enemy. When the extermination fails, the power of the attack will be reduced to that of a normal attack. When the target has more than 20% HP, the extermination will not take effect, and the user will suffer a punishment where the character cannot be controlled for 6 seconds.]
The True Overlord Arrow was similar in nature to the Overlord Arrow in that neither could be leveled up, but the same did not apply to the Extermination Arrow.
To level up the Extermination Arrow by 1 level required 3 Skill Points, so by the time Li Yi maxed out the Extermination Arrow, he had used 60 Skill Points in total.
[Level 20 Extermination Arrow (Learning Requirement: Level 20 Elimination Arrow): The upgraded form of Elimination Arrow. When the target has less than 20% HP, there's a 100% chance of exterminating the enemy. When the target has less than 30% HP, there's a 50% chance of exterminating the enemy. When the extermination fails, the power of the attack will be reduced to that of a normal attack. When the target has more than 30% HP, the extermination will not take effect, and the user will suffer a punishment where the character cannot be controlled for 6 seconds.]
60 Skill Points was nearly everything Li Yi had saved up, and he was the only one who could afford to splash so many Skill Points into this skill. Any other player would find it much more difficult to max out Extermination Arrow.
After he kept everything the Sixth Demon God had dropped into his Backpack, Li Yi finally nodded, satisfied, and ran toward the front hall…
"Aragon, that b*stard!"
"I hate hearing that name! Gah, I can't stand it, I'll kill him!"
"I'm losing my temper!"
"Aragon…"
In the front hall, the Four Demon Generals were still expressing their rage against Aragon through clenched teeth. They had no idea that while they were spouting this nonsense, their leader had been done in.
Li Yi ran back and the Four Demon Generals cursed again. A system notification appeared; [You have entered Battle Mode…]
These four idiots had dragged him into Battle Mode.
Li Yi replied calmly, "I… I am Aragon's friend."
The Four Demon Generals stopped roaring and stared at Li Yi in shock, rendered speechless for a good while. 
System Notification: [You have left Battle Mode…]
"I'm going to see the Lord Demon God!"
"That's right, let's ask Lord Demon God. If he gives the green light, we'll kill this lackey and Aragon at the same time.
"Hahaha, good idea…"
"C'mon, let's go to Lord Demon God!"
The Four Demon Gods helped each other into the Demon God Hall.
Li Yi did not linger. Leaving the Demon God's residence, he hurried toward the Uninhabited Grass Hut as quickly as he could.
The death of the Sixth Demon God would plunge Karan City into chaos, and millions of demons would gather again, looking for the Demon God's killer everywhere.
"Jiaojiao, Qian'er, hurry back to the Uninhabited Grass Hut. The Karan City demons are going to riot."
"You monster, I just knew it had to be you!" replied Jiaojiao.
"What do you mean, it had to be me?"
"You're the one who killed the Sixth Demon God, duh!"
"But it really wasn't me."
"Go on, keep pretending." 
"I swear to you, Queen Jiaojiao, it really wasn't me. Okay, that's enough talk, run, run quick…"
When Li Yi reached the Uninhabited Straw Hut, Jiaojiao and Qian'er had long since been waiting for him inside.
Qian'er asked, "You OP monster, you sure you weren't the one who killed the Sixth Demon God?"
Li Yi shook his head. "It wasn't.
"I was doing the Search for the Truth quest…"
He had nothing to do anyway, so he came up with a story to trick the two girls.
"I knew it, there really is a powerhouse!" Jiaojiao came to an epiphany.
Qian'er rolled her eyes at Jiaojiao, clearly unconvinced.
Just then, the world outside the Straw Hut exploded.
The death of the Sixth Demon God came as a shock to the millions of demons, and they began to wander around Karan City in order to find the culprit.
At this stage, even Morphing Potions would not help. There was only one way to avoid the demons' hunt, which was to hide in the Uninhabited Straw Hut. 
The Uninhabited Straw Hut in Karan City was nothing short of a miracle. Any player who hid in here were guaranteed to stay safe.
"Whoa, the view outside is terrifying. It's a demonic army…" Jiaojiao lay sprawled before the window, looking out.
Qian'er reminded her, "Be careful, make sure they don't see us."
Li Yi smiled. "Don't worry. As long as we're in here, the demons can't harm us."
Those hiding in the Uninhabited Straw Hut were safe, but the many players who were farming in the Demonic Forest outside Karan City were in for a rough time.
When the furious demons scoured the city to no avail, they immediately rushed out of the city and killed anyone on sight…
The Demonic Army was as unstoppable as the tide, and before they knew it, countless innocent players had been sent back to their cities for free.
The army cleaned up every player trying to grind in the Demonic Forest, and then it surged into the Foreignland Entrance. As a result, the tragedy that occurred a few days ago repeated itself…
Compared to the suffering of the masses, Li Yi and the others were completely fine. As soon as the Demonic Army rushed out of Karam City, the three of them left the Uninhabited Straw Hut. 
"Do your own thing, but message if you need me."
Li Yi threw one more line at the two girls and ran off on his own again.
The Search for the Truth quest was 100% complete now. It was time to turn in the quest to Aragon.
...


Li Yi once lived the dream of every pro gamer. He was at the top of his game with the best equipment, the highest stats, and everything a gamer could ever hope for. However, he soon realized that none of his ill-gotten gains for his to keep when he was branded Public Enemy Number One and killed in the biggest battle of the ages. 

Now, he has the chance to turn back the clock and return to a time before his first mistake put him on the path of no return. This time, Li Yi will make different choices. With that, comes many interesting encounters — like saving a woman in distress then making love to her seven times in a row while her child slept in the next room. However, will he get back to what truly matters?

One thing is for sure, with the memories retained from his past, he will become King of this game.
