"Welcome to the Emperor System, prepare for rebirth"

Seeing the awkward expression on Roman's face, Merlin knew that Roman was fascinated with the Vestigial Tribe's methods. However, Roman knew little about it. No one knew how much time was needed to truly be proficient in it. 
There were many contenders like Roman who were obsessed with the Vestigial Tribe. After all, the Vestigial Tribe was once extremely powerful, and anyone who obtained just a little information would be shocked and even fascinated by them.
Even Merlin was shocked. Otherwise, he would not have taken the Black Star Armor.
"I wonder what good relics Sir Roman has collected over the years."
Merlin's heart raced. When he thought about the Black Star Armor, he recalled the Vestigial Creatures' identity symbol, the Brain of Life. Only if he had obtained the Brain of Life would there be a chance of controlling the Black Star Armor. Furthermore, if he had obtained the Black Star Armor's acknowledgment and became one with the Black Star Armor, then he would instantly obtain power comparable to an ultimate existence!
"Good relics? Of course, there are. Come, I'll show you."
Roman seemed to be very proud of the Vestigial Tribe relics he had collected. He brought Merlin and the others and flew to a huge warship.
"Swoosh."
The warship seemed to be in good condition but Roman said, "This warship has been completely damaged. I've spent a lot of effort to get it barely repaired outside but the inside was hollowed out by me. It's just an empty shell at best now. Let's go, there are some good things that I've collected."
Seeing the external form of the warship, Merlin suddenly thought about the Atlan civilization empire-level warships. Although some differences could be seen, they were not large.
"The Atlan civilization must've had a deep relationship with the Vestigial Tribe!"
Merlin and Setoh cast a glance at each other. Even Wizard Setoh began to have his suspicions. After seeing these damaged Vestigial Tribe warships, anyone would be suspicious of the relationship between the Atlan civilization and the Vestigial Tribe.
The warship was huge, and even Titan Giants like Chronos would have no problem entering it.
Just as they had entered the warship, they saw light as bright as day. There were exquisite crystals that reflected their figures on the warship. The crystals dazzled and sparkled, making them look extremely beautiful. It did not look like a warship but rather a palace.
"Ding, Honorable Master, welcome to the Fantasy Warship!"
A sweet female voice sounded, and the lights in the warship suddenly dimmed. When the brilliant lights flashed again, Merlin thought he had returned to his previous life.
"Haha, gentlemen, aren't these Vestigial Tribe relics pretty good? I've repaired this system with great difficulty but it's still mostly useless. It can only control some lights, energy, and others on the warship. It's of little use."
Roman said while smiling, and the lights lit up again. Everyone exchanged glances at each other. Except for Merlin, they were all unused to it.
"Is this a puppet?"
Suddenly, Flarite saw two pitch-black metal puppets at a corner of the warship. They were the same puppets that had attacked them when they were at the Giant Tribe ancestral land. 
"They're out of energy. They're no threat now."
Roman said casually. He walked over, and grabbed the two puppets. The puppets did not have any response since they were out of energy.
Although Vestigial Tribe puppets needed energy, these puppets could generally obtain energy automatically. There were very few puppets that completely used up their energy, so no one knew how these two puppets ran out of energy.
These two puppets attracted everyone's attention. They then saw that the warship was filled with various strange objects.
Besides the puppets, there were also some strange weapons. They were all either without energy or broken, and were only here in Roman's warship for people to view.
"That's… The Golden Ray Armor?"
Flarite's expression suddenly changed as he stared intently at an armor that only had a few pieces of its breastplate left. Although this armor was deformed beyond recognition, it still glittered with a golden light.
"The Golden Ray Armor? Is that the Vestigial Tribe's Golden Ray Armor that's comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors?"
Merlin's heart trembled. He immediately thought about the Vestigial Tribe armor that Flarite had mentioned before. There were three types in total. The first was the Golden Ray Armor, and were extremely rare even in the Vestigial Tribe. Once one became a Golden Ray Warrior, then they would become comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors. They were the most powerful force of the Vestigial Tribe.
Next was the Black Star Armor. There was currently one in Merlin's Spatial Ring but there was no Brain of Life.
As for the Golden Ray Armor, it was extremely rare in the Vestigial Tribe. According to Flarite's speculation, the Golden Ray Warriors were the focus of the Thirty-six Emperors. They must have been destroyed long ago hence it was impossible to meet one.
However, now, one was seen in Roman's warship but it was already broken.
Thinking about it, it made sense that there would not be a perfect Golden Ray Armor that had existed. If it had existed, then the Vestigial Tribe would not be completely wiped out. However, even if it was broken, it was still incomparably valuable.
"You know about the Golden Ray Armor? It seems you know a lot about the Vestigial Tribe. I also spend a lot of effort on this armor before finally figuring out its origin. Yes, it's the most powerful armor of the Vestigial Tribe, also known as the Golden Ray Armor. Rumor has it that whoever wears the Golden Ray Armor will immediately become invincible. However, I think this rumor is somewhat exaggerated. If they really could become invincible, then why was the Vestigial Tribe completely eliminated?"
Roman only knew about how important the Golden Ray Armor was but did not truly understand the Golden Ray Armor. The Golden Ray Warriors wearing the Golden Ray Armor might not be invincible but they were close to being invincible. After all, the Golden Ray Warriors were beings comparable to the Thirty-six Emperors. They were the top contenders in the boundless Void Zone!
At the same time, Merlin quietly ordered the Matrix, "Matrix, scan the warship and find out if there's a Brain of Life."
The Matrix had obtained the data of the Black Star Armor, and naturally knew the characteristics of the Brain of Life, so the Matrix was perfect for finding it.
"Ding, starting scan!"
The Matrix started to scan the entire ship while Merlin looked around. No matter how valuable that Golden Ray Armor was, it was already broken. There were only a few pieces of its breastplate left, making it useless.
He wanted to see if he could find a Black Star Armor or even a Gray Light Armor.
Unfortunately, Merlin had searched the entire warship but did not find any Black Star Armor or Gray Light Armor.
"There's nothing practical."
Although there were many things collected on Roman's warship, they were useless items. At best, they were just proof of the Vestigial Tribe. In the long course of history, the Vestigial Tribe only had these relics that proved their strength in the past.
"Ding, scan completed. No Brain of Life was discovered."
The Matrix had finished scanning after a moment but did not discover any Brain of Life. Although Merlin was slightly disappointed, he had expected this result.
How would the Brain of Life be handed down to this day? Since the Vestigial Creatures were dead, the Brain of Life would have been destroyed as well. It was impossible to find the Brain of Life again.
"What do you think, gentlemen?"
Roman asked proudly.
He had collected many relics connected to the Vestigial Tribe, and they were not all useless. At the very least, Merlin knew the most useful one was probably the gravitational field shrouding the nine dimensions.
If this kind of gravitational field were to be used on the battlefield against the Rock Tribe, the Light God Organization or the Atlan civilization, the battle situation would change immediately. Besides ultimate existences, no one could resist the Vestigial Tribe's gravitational field.
However, they had to first convince the diehard Vestigial Tribe fanatic, Roman.


Anyone who could construct a stable Spell Model could become a Wizard — that was the Wizards' ultimate secret! Having been given a new life as the son of an aristocrat and armed with a super quantum computer from his past life, Spell Models game as easily as breathing to Merlin. With this overwhelmingly huge advantage, would Merlin become the greatest Grand Wizard of all time?

The very name Byzantine illustrates the misconceptions to which the empire's history has often been subject, for its inhabitants would hardly have considered the term appropriate to themselves or to their state. Theirs was, in their view, none other than the Roman Empire, founded shortly before the beginning of the Christian era by God's grace to unify his people in preparation for the coming of his Son. Proud of that Christian and Roman heritage, convinced that their earthly empire so nearly resembled the heavenly pattern that it could never change, they called themselves Romaioi, or Romans. Modern historians agree with them only in part. The term East Rome accurately described the political unit embracing the Eastern provinces of the old Roman Empire until 476, while there were yet two emperors. The same term may even be used until the last half of the 6th century, as long as men continued to act and think according to patterns not unlike those prevailing in an earlier Roman Empire. During those same centuries, nonetheless, there were changes so profound in their cumulative effect that after the 7th century state and society in the East differed markedly from their earlier forms. In an effort to recognize that distinction, historians traditionally have described the medieval empire as Byzantine.

TOP QUESTIONS

When did the Byzantine Empire exist?
How was the Byzantine Empire different from the Roman Empire?
How did the Byzantine Empire get its name?
Where was the Byzantine Empire?
Did the Byzantine Empire practice Christianity?
The latter term is derived from the name Byzantium, borne by a colony of ancient Greek foundation on the European side of the Bosporus, midway between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The city was, by virtue of its location, a natural transit point between Europe and Asia Minor (Anatolia). Refounded as the "new Rome" by the emperor Constantine I in 330, it was endowed by him with the name Constantinople, the city of Constantine. The derivation from Byzantium is suggestive in that it emphasizes a central aspect of Byzantine civilization: the degree to which the empire's administrative and intellectual life found a focus at Constantinople from 330 to 1453, the year of the city's last and unsuccessful defense under the 11th (or 12th) Constantine. The circumstances of the last defense are suggestive too, for in 1453 the ancient, medieval, and modern worlds seemed briefly to meet. The last Constantine fell in defense of the new Rome built by the first Constantine. Walls that had held firm in the early Middle Ages against German, Hun, Avar, Slav, and Arab were breached finally by modern artillery, in the mysteries of which European technicians had instructed the most successful of the Central Asian invaders: the Ottoman Turks.

The fortunes of the empire were thus intimately entwined with those of peoples whose achievements and failures constitute the medieval history of both Europe and Asia. Nor did hostility always characterize the relations between Byzantines and those whom they considered "barbarian." Even though the Byzantine intellectual firmly believed that civilization ended with the boundaries of his world, he opened it to the barbarian, provided that the latter (with his kin) would accept baptism and render loyalty to the emperor. Thanks to the settlements that resulted from such policies, many a name, seemingly Greek, disguises another of different origin: Slavic, perhaps, or Turkish. Barbarian illiteracy, in consequence, obscures the early generations of more than one family destined to rise to prominence in the empire's military or civil service. Byzantium was a melting-pot society, characterized during its earlier centuries by a degree of social mobility that belies the stereotype, often applied to it, of an immobile caste-ridden society.

A source of strength in the early Middle Ages, Byzantium's central geographical position served it ill after the 10th century. The conquests of that age presented new problems of organization and assimilation, and those the emperors had to confront at precisely the time when older questions of economic and social policy pressed for answers in a new and acute form. Satisfactory solutions were never found. Bitter ethnic and religious hostility marked the history of the empire's later centuries, weakening Byzantium in the face of new enemies descending upon it from east and west. The empire finally collapsed when its administrative structures could no longer support the burden of leadership thrust upon it by military conquests.
The Empire To 867
The Roman and Christian background
Unity and diversity in the late Roman Empire
The Roman Empire, the ancestor of the Byzantine, remarkably blended unity and diversity, the former being by far the better known, since its constituents were the predominant features of Roman civilization. The common Latin language, the coinage, the "international" army of the Roman legions, the urban network, the law, and the Greco-Roman heritage of civic culture loomed largest among those bonds that Augustus and his successors hoped would bring unity and peace to a Mediterranean world exhausted by centuries of civil war. To strengthen those sinews of imperial civilization, the emperors hoped that a lively and spontaneous trade might develop between the several provinces. At the pinnacle of that world stood the emperor himself, the man of wisdom who would shelter the state from whatever mishaps fortune had darkly hidden. The emperor alone could provide that protection, since, as the embodiment of all the virtues, he possessed in perfection those qualities displayed only imperfectly by his individual subjects.
The Roman formula of combating fortune with reason and therewith ensuring unity throughout the Mediterranean world worked surprisingly well in view of the pressures for disunity that time was to multiply. Conquest had brought regions of diverse background under Roman rule. The Eastern provinces were ancient and populous centres of that urban life that for millennia had defined the character of Mediterranean civilization. The Western provinces had only lately entered upon their own course of urban development under the not-always-tender ministrations of their Roman masters.

In the city of Gold
In the city of emperors
In the city of rich
there lived a girl
who can change fates
of everyone
"What's your name? The doctor asked when he saw Tara coming to her senses." Tara said her name. She was getting worse. Her head was spinning. George was very happy to see her. That Tara's memory is back but the next moment all her happiness was in the dust when Tara asked who she is and where she came from? Who are her parents? The doctor was about to say something thatTara fainted again.Doctor and the George was now disappointed.George was thinking could he find her parents ! He only knew her name. But he don't know that Tara will change his fate forever. Tara was the golden hen for Roman empire ( Rome was the post-Republican period of ancient Rome. As a polity it included large territorial holdings around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, Northern Africa, and Western Asia ruled by emperors. From the accession of Caesar Augustus to the military anarchy of the third century, it was a principate with Italy as metropole of the provinces and the city of Romeas sole capital (27 BC – 286 AD). Although fragmented briefly during the military crisis, the empire was forcibly reassembled, then ruled by multiple emperors who shared rule over the Western Roman Empire (based in Milan and later in Ravenna) and over the Eastern Roman Empire (also known as the Byzantine Empire; centred on Nicomedia and Antioch, later based in Constantinople)

Now Ammy was telling Philps about Tara. She give him a detail about Tara. Philip promises Ammy that he would found her daughter. " But you should give me a favour ? Philip asked. "I can do anything for you if you can find my daughter" Ammy asked with happiness . But Ammy didn't know what a terrible demand Phillips was going to make!

The names that had just been mentioned by the scriptwriters were the representatives behind the scenes that had made the most important contributions to each "Founding Era" chapter. Fang Zhao had been mentioned because he had indeed provided lots of pertinent suggestions. In the Yanzhou chapter, Fang Zhao had been the one to provide the most suggestions, and most of them had been rather important. This was also why the details in many scenes of the Yanzhou chapter had been spot on.
Thus, this award, which was usually overlooked by the audience, gave rise to even more discussion. Many people also specifically went to search for the Yanzhou chapter's end credits.
A composer who had run to acting and even entered the consultant team, which was a playground for historians, how awesome was that?
Next up was the Best Director Award for the TV category, and once again, unsurprisingly, the head director of "Founding Era," Nova Roman, received the honors.
"I would like to thank every member of the staff that worked behind the scenes. The performers were all extremely great, and there were many young actors and actresses that dared to fight and strive and weren't weaker than the veterans in any way. For example, Fang Zhao..."
The entire cast and crew of "Founding Era" let out a collective sigh.
Here it comes!
They all recalled the fear they'd had of "newcomer Fang Zhao" during production and filming. Back then, Roman had loved to use Fang Zhao as an example to pressure them. When Roman mentioned "Fang Zhao," the actors within the cast didn't find it surprising. Everyone knew that during filming back on planet Wai, Head Director Roman's favorite actor had been Fang Zhao. However, they fully accepted it. Fang Zhao's performance had really been outstanding. If Fang Zhao wasn't only in his 20s, perhaps the evaluation committee would have made an exception and perhaps Fang Zhao could have clinched a few more nominations.
A pity.
But it was because of this that Roman had specifically mentioned Fang Zhao here. In his heart, he felt that it was a pity for Fang Zhao.
After Best Director Award was the Best Original Soundtrack Award. Fang Zhao hadn't received a nomination.
The Golden Series Gala used to have quite a number of categories for music awards. Afterward, due to suggestions from all parties, the awards had been reduced and simplified, with only Best Original Soundtrack and Best Original Score remaining. The TV category would frequently have many works from within a series competing against each other, and the award would be given to the musical composition. This year, the nominations for this category were all works from "Founding Era."
Someone told his friend in private, "Fang Zhao could have also received a nomination here, but it was overruled by the evaluation committee in the end."
Fang Zhao's song "This Life of Mine" could have received a nomination based on the quality and alignment with the content of the plot. However, there was a slight controversy; some people doubted that Fang Zhao could have composed this piece on his own at his age. Even though Fang Zhao had won the Galaxy Supernova Award, it still couldn't get rid of these questioning voices. There were many high-quality soundtracks and accompaniment pieces in "Founding Era," and a large number were of a great-master grade. Thus, the evaluation committee ultimately voted to exclude Fang Zhao's piece from the nominations.
In short, it was because Fang Zhao was too young, had insufficient experience, and wasn't able to make everyone believe that he had composed the piece alone. In a situation where they had many other options, the evaluation committee wasn't willing to take this risk.
The screen displayed the five nominated compositions. Mo Lang's "Legend," the final song of "Founding Era," was among them.
The composition information was displayed on the screen.
"Legend"
Composer: Mo Lang
Arrangement: Mo Lang, Fang Zhao
Roman mouthed a "ha" as he turned to glance at Fang Zhao. At this sort of event and for this sort of award, as long as one's name was displayed on the composition information, whether it was a composer or any other participating member, the person had the right to go on stage and receive the award.
Indeed, when the honored guest read out "Legend," the spotlights converged on Fang Zhao's seat.
Mo Lang wasn't in attendance, so the only present member of this composition was Fang Zhao.
The bright, thick, and epic tune belonging to "Legend" from the ending of "Founding Era" played.
Roman and the others clapped their hands delightedly.
When the spotlights shone on Fang Zhao getting up to go on stage, the comments section of the live broadcast erupted.
"The f*ck! Why is it him again!"
"Mo Lang couldn't attend, so naturally, the other person will be the one to receive the prize. Arrangement is also a part of this piece."
"From the Best Child Star award on, the frequency at which Fang Zhao's name is appearing is kinda high for today's Golden Series Gala."
"How can this be 'kinda'? It's simply through the roof! Best Child Star, Best Newcomer, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Original Soundtrack, his name has already been said five times! And he has gone on stage to receive an award twice!"
"His spirit inexorably lingers on!"
"To the one above, did you not attend school? 'His spirit inexorably lingers on'? Is this the right usage of this phrase?!"
Regardless of what online audiences had to say, Fang Zhao's name was especially memorable today.
If mentioned just once, people might not have had an impression, but when the name "Fang Zhao" came up in two, three, then five awards presentations in succession, each and every one would cause a wave of passionate discussion online!
There were film emperors and empresses every year, but it was extremely rare to see such a situation. Entertainment reporters were delighted and rubbed their hands with glee. There was too much to write about!
Tan Min, who was seated in the corner, watched enviously as Fang Zhao went on stage to receive the award.
Indeed, there were some people that absolutely couldn't be held down. Once sufficiently outstanding, their radiance could not be blocked out. If one had financial assistance but lacked the ability, even if there was someone supporting them from the back, it still wouldn't amount to much.
After accepting the award, Fang Zhao specifically mentioned that he was collecting this award on behalf of Mo Lang in his acceptance speech. This time, he appeared much calmer during this award presentation.
The message he had received previously had been Mo Lang telling Fang Zhao to go on stage and accept the award should he win it. Furthermore, the organizers would surely have made preparations beforehand and discussed it with Mo Lang.
Afterward, the Best Original Score Award and Best Supporting Actress Award were handed out for the TV category, and then it came to the Best Supporting Actor Award. When the list of nominees was recited, Fang Zhao was once again mentioned. In the end, the outcome was just as everyone had expected. Having won the Best Newcomer Award, Fang Zhao failed to be chosen as the winner for Best Supporting Actor. But him being mentioned once again gave rise to yet another round of discussion.
"Six times already!"
"Tonight, 'Founding Era' was mentioned the most, but Fang Zhao comes in second!"
"Impressive, being mentioned by others successively six times. He can even make his presence felt despite not being nominated, and he even went on stage to receive two awards."
"He still has to go on stage later. That will be the third time."
After the TV category's awards for best actor and best actress were issued, it came to the night's final heavyweight award, the Best Series Award. Once more, there was no suspense.
"Founding Era!"
When the honored guest read out "Founding Era," nobody's heart skipped a beat. Everyone was already prepared. The other series in the TV category were nothing more than a foil.
A few important members of the production and the other "Founding Era" nominees from tonight all went on stage. The one receiving the award was still Head Director Roman. Having already received two awards, naturally, Fang Zhao also had to go on stage to take a photo.
"The biggest winner tonight was 'Founding Era,' sweeping up many heavyweight awards, and the second biggest winner was Fang Zhao."
"That means to say that Fang Zhao is really the biggest winner. More people are talking about him rather than the winners of the best actor and actress awards. The amount of times entertainment reporters have mentioned Fang Zhao is way more than other people."
This was destined to be a sleepless night.
Special effects fireworks had lit up the sky each time an award had been issued. When the final award was handed out, the entire island had a fireworks display that continued for close to 30 minutes.
Many people had come over not just to catch their idols but to enjoy Corale's magnificent fireworks display. Tonight, Corale natives and tourists from other lands all remembered the name "Fang Zhao." It couldn't be helped—the rate at which his name had occurred was just too high. In entertainment news, every 10 pieces of news would have at least four items that mentioned him. At a film festival, this proportion was really frightening!
In a certain hotel, George Quintero, who had just returned from the Golden Series Gala, sent Prof. Carter portions of videos recorded by netizens tonight as evidence. His message was laced with grievance. "Teacher, does this little disciple even need our assistance, given his status in the entertainment-rich atmosphere of Corale?"
Deep creases appeared on Prof. Carter's forehead from his frowning.
How does Fang Zhao have such a high popularity within the entertainment circles?
This won't do!
Although television and film were also considered art, they only collaborated in a few outstanding works like "Founding Era." Revolutionary programs like these were few and far between. But the current fickle entertainment circle still had a rich commercial overtone, and every company was continuously maximizing their celebrities' commercial value. Fang Zhao having such high popularity within the entertainment circles wasn't necessarily a good thing for academics like them.
Young man, don't get swayed by the allures of fame and fortune.
Carter decided that, the moment Fang Zhao returned, he would hurry and bring Fang Zhao to work on projects so that Fang Zhao would stay further away from the entertainment circles.
Yanbei Retirement Facility.
Great-Grandfather Fang had his hands full reading the comments as he watched the live broadcast, wishing he could open his eyes wider. He didn't know the situation within the entertainment circles too well and could only grasp a little through the discussions online. He was delighted when he saw people online saying that Fang Zhao might be tonight's biggest winner.
"Hahahahahahaha... Cough… cough cough cough!!"
Great-Grandfather Fang choked on his own saliva while he was laughing and slapping his thigh. Great-Grandmother Fang got a shock and quickly called the retirement center's paramedic.
The paramedic was helpless. Although he wasn't able to find anything wrong, he said, "I suggest you don't overexert yourself and keep your emotions in check. It's best you don't get too excited or angry."
"I'm fine, I'm just delighted! I'm happy every day!" Great-Grandfather Fang pointed at the news about Fang Zhao on the screen. "My Little Zhao won yet another award today!"
The paramedic ridiculed Great-Grandfather Fang inwardly. How fresh, how many times have you said "won an award" in the retirement center? The Galaxy Award matter had barely passed, yet here it came again!
Just before the paramedic left, Great-Grandfather Fang pulled him aside and exhorted, "You absolutely mustn't talk about this outside." How shameful.
"Don't worry, I got it." He was in contact with these retired veterans every day and wouldn't disclose a patient's condition outside, especially among these retired veterans that cared a lot about their pride.
After leaving, the paramedic chuckled and shook his head. Seeing this old man's manner, there would be another bout of bragging in the days to come.


"Every time background music plays in my head, I feel like there is nothing to be afraid of." —Fang Zhao
Toward the end of the apocalyptic period, Fang Zhao lost his life. However, instead of dying, he found himself 500 years later in the body of a young and aspiring composer who shared the same name. Having received a second chance at life, Fang Zhao sets out to achieve the previous owner's dreams.
Armed with the experience of living through an apocalyptic age and his profession as a composer before that period, Fang Zhao uses his talent, wits, and knowledge to make his mark in the entertainment industry of the future.

A small room that looks old, there is a porous wooden table, the walls that look crumbly like it will collapse and filled with moss. 

There was an old bed and there was a thin man who seemed to be in his 20s, a thin body due to malnutrition, his face lacked vitality, his hair was black, his skin was brown with a pug nose in accordance with Asian features. 

The man's body shook like a demon entered, beads of sweat trickled down his face, his fearful expression emanating from his face even though his eyes were closed. 

... 

A man who wore Mecha armor like a robot from the future, his black hair and sharp gaze radiated from his face, majesty radiated from his body like an emperor, but a sword stuck in his stomach, this sword was burning with blazing fire. 

This man is me, Julius Wijonarko is a man from another world, I don't know why I got to this world, this is all caused by that damn cellphone, I have obtained everything but what happened is all gone. 

I looked at the man standing in front of me, and also his followers behind him, then I said: "Roman it turns out that this is all your doing. If you want to fight, use your own strength, don't be a coward like this".

The man called Roman laughed wildly and said: "Julius I am not a naive fool, this is all called a trick, you know this is a strategy to gain victory with little loss". 

"Haha is an amazing strategy, so because you have planned this beautifully I will give you a beautiful gift," said Julius. 

Suddenly, Julius's body was red, the armor he was using shook and the sword stuck in his stomach fell to the ground, red blood continued to flow out of his stomach, and a beep sounded and then a huge explosion came out of his body, these were all bombs. Nuclear actually I do not want to use it but rather than die alone would rather die together, a big explosion occurred. 

... 

My head hurts a lot and my body shakes violently, I feel like the world is spinning and I don't know what happened. 

Slowly I opened my eyes and looked at the view of this old and broken room, I felt very familiar with this place and slowly all of my consciousness began to recover. 

I felt very strange, wasn't I supposed to die, but why did I get to this place. 

I woke up from my sleep and looked around and saw that there was a black cellphone beside my bed, yes this was the cause of all the disasters I had experienced so far, but I took this black cellphone and turned it on I saw the date on the cellphone screen. January 5, 2006. "Fuck what happened, what all I experienced was a dream". 

What is all this is not this five days before I received the damn message, yes and also this room is my house in Gang Doly, this is an old house left by my parents, they died when I was 18 years old, I struggled to live during this time but I did not get anything.

Could I be reborn ?. 

"Ha ha ha". 

I laughed wildly, but after a while I clenched my fist, and said: "Roman, wait for my revenge". 

Slowly my mind began to stabilize and began to think about the devil's game, Yes the name is "MARSH" a virtual reality game or VR, hehe but this is not a game from earth, yes I do not know but at that time I suddenly got a message and entered into that crazy game . 

There were 100 people who entered into the game but, their status was beta testers and I was the only person from the earth, at first I was scared and could slowly build my strength, but I was defeated and everything was lost. 

I should have died but maybe this is a gift from God, so I have to do my best, and avenge myself to the people of the planet. 

The status of these 100 people is very different and what enters our bodies is not consciousness so if we die then we will disappear forever, their 99 people are from alien planets that I don't know about, it looks like they are making a conspiracy behind the scenes. 

Well, but many people from that planet come and play, they don't know that there is a conspiracy behind the scenes, and only I come from the earth. 

I fought alone and got a strong footing but all in vain, all my friends, alliance, betrayed me, hehe but just wait I will reciprocate. 

All the memories I lost while this time I have to get ready because only I come from the earth and although later I can come back again, but if I fail and die again maybe God will not give my chance again. 

Right now I need to make a plan, I'm now living in a slum in the city of Surabaya, well one of the cities in Indonesia is a big country but the economy is not as big as the country. 

Maybe wealth and natural resources are very abundant, but it is controlled by narrow-eyed capitalists from China, well I really hate these people they are greedy, maybe if in the western countries they are very low and rarely stand out, hehe it's because they are often suppressed but in southeast asia hehe just see singapore country then you will know what it is. 

But I put it aside because there is something more valuable, Well it is MARSH a VR game but the players are from alien planets, yes it has a great danger, but it has extraordinary hidden blessings that can change my destiny.

I don't know where they are because all the features I haven't explored yet, but there must be a big hidden secret, what I know is that there are 100 people who will compete to be real emperors, a world leader, and the players well maybe they are just pawns no different far with the NPC and even NPC might be more valuable. 

What I experienced when I first entered the game was just a disaster, thrown into an alien world, being chased by terrible monsters maybe if I did not have the will to live a large life I was long dead. 

Well it's all just a bitter and tragic experience so I'd better forget, and remember the name of someone well he is a Roman cunning bastard. 

But just wait Roman, 

I will be back,

MARSH is a very famous VRMMORPG game, this game has a very high popularity. 

But behind this popularity, there is actually a dark reality, this game is actually a game of death. 

Julius is a man who is dragged into this game, he is one of 100 people who are dragged in this game. 

Julius struggled very hard but what were the results? A big conspiracy occurred. 

Julius had already received the title of the Great Tsar, but what had happened had all he lost, comrades, the Alliance, all betrayed him. 

But when it was on the verge of death, Julius returned to when everything had not yet begun. 

What will happen?.

But after leaving the Black Forest, Marin found that the prey began to decrease dramatically. Why? Because Marin entered the agricultural area in southern Germany. The southern part of Germany is relatively warm and agriculture is more developed than in the north. The population is denser and the development is higher. The high degree of development means that there are fewer natural forests. Then there are fewer wild animals. On the way to Vienna, the three boys wanted to repeat themselves. Unfortunately, in densely populated areas, there are few wild animals, and the hunting of nearby hunters has caused Marin to stop hunting every day. Sometimes, after two or three days, Marlin can get a prey. Even, this prey may be just a hare, not enough for the barrel of food for Kahn's stomach.

In order to subsidize the food expenses, Marin began to walk specifically on the road near the forest. After all, the southern part of Germany is a place with more mountains, and there are more wild animals near the mountains. But there is also a downside, that is, Marlin three people were robbed by robbers. But these robbers couldn't get on the wheelbarrow. Then Marin was brave and rushed to the head of the bandit with a lance, the bandits were frightened and fled.

Marlin, who realized the problem, stopped putting all the armor on the wheelbarrow when he was on the road, but put the breastplate on him. However, Marin felt that with the formal Gothic plate armor, he had too much heat, you can get tired more quickly than normal and he helmet is too much confined .

So he found a blacksmith who was good at building armor and asked the blacksmith to use cold forging to create a two-thirds breastplate that he wore like a French cavalry.
This breastplate only protects the vitals and the arms and does not protect below the waist. But at the same time, it also allowed the knight to be more free and facilitate the cooling, and they were able to bend and turn around immediately. Moreover, its structure is also very simple, in fact, two pieces of cold forged and sturdy iron plates protect the torso back and front, which are stringed together and hung on the shoulders and the waist the rest is the armor for the arms which are stringed to the shoulders.

Then, Marin asked the blacksmith to create a cavalry knive (Artimer's note: imagine a messer  but shorter) with a hand guard for the European Cavalry. The reason for creating a cavalry knive is to cope with an emergency.

Because, Marin's plate armor and lance are generally on the wheelbarrow. In the face of the robbers walking, Marin had time to put on the armor and pick up the lance. If he encounters the rapid impact of riding a gangster, he may not have even a reaction time. Therefore, pulling out the cavalry knives at the waist became the best choice. The cavalry knives of the later generation standard cavalry knives are straight, and can cut, which is more convenient and practical. Moreover, this knife looks very beautiful too. As for Kahn and Kohler, Marin bought them two spears. At the crucial moment, let them take a spear and pierce the enemy and what Marin didn't think was that after Kahn got the spear, he didn't killed a robber, but he killed a wild boar.

One day, when Marlin was on the road, he suddenly met a wild boar who didn't know what to do. The wild boar quickly rushed to Marin's mount, scaring Marin to be overwhelmed. Draw a horse knife, the wild boar skin is thick, it is difficult to cut. At the crucial moment, Kahn stood up, raised his spear and slammed it into the wild boar. Once he didn't succeed (because the wild boar skin was too thick), Kahn struck again for the second time. Finally, before the wild boar collided with the horse, he was killed by Kahn and began to fall on the ground. The responding Marin quickly dismounted and pulled out the cavalry knives to fill the boar. Then the wild boar was sold for a good price. In view of Kahn's loyalty to him, Marin bit his teeth, took out 1800 shillings from the private vault, bought a strong black cow, and then bought a small four-wheeled carriage.

 
In this way, Kahn from the pusher of the unicycle, gloriously promoted as a ox driver. In the same way, this strong bull is not a restless one anymore. Marin's technique was re-applied, and the strong cow was tamed with spirits and copper nose rings. After that, the big black cow named "Li Chen" by Marin became the pulling cow of the cart. The sad reminder is that Kahn doesn't seem to be good at driving the oxcart. It was a small and thin Kohler, and soon started to drive the oxcart. Then, Kahn went to ride the calf. Kohler started to drive the oxcart. Marlin also named the Big Black Bull and named it Dallas.

Looking at Kahn's "mighty posture" with a spear riding a cow, Marin suddenly had a bad interest and planned to train Kahn as a "cattleman". Then he began to teach how Kahn used to ride a lance and a spear on the back of the horse. So, the ignorant Kahn began to learn how to be a "cow knight" based on Marin's flicker.

When the three men arrived in Vienna in early May, Kahn had learned to ride on the back of the cow and use a spear to poke people. Even Dallas, the calf he rode, can also launch a trot charge with Kahn in a short time.

In the contemptuous eyes of the guards of the city of Vienna, Kahn rode a cow, armed with a spear, and gladly followed Marin into the city of Vienna. As for Kohler, he used a whip to beat the big black cow "Li Chen" in a low-key manner. He drove the ox cart and followed the two...
After entering Vienna and looking for a hotel to settle down, Marin rushed to the area to inquire about the Emperor's recruitment. But what disappointed Marin was that the emperor had no plans to recruit mercenaries recently. 
As early as 1487, Maximilian I had recruited a German mercenary army of 15,000 infantry and 1,500 cavalry. The leader was the Count of Frederick II. von Hohenzollern of the Hohenzollern family.

However, this has a problem, that is, in this era, almost all Emperors, Kings and Dukes in Europe have a very bad financial situation. Even if it was the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian I could only rely on the Habsburg family-controlled Austria income and the newly-controlled Burgundy Principality to tax a large family and  larger mercenary group. These 15,000 infantry and 1500 knights have already made Maximilian I's finances tighter. In the absence of a temporary attack, Maximilian I will not expand the army.

Moreover, Austria and Burgundy under the control of the Habsburg family did not all provide for the military. A large part of the tax is also used to support the large group of officials in the two places, and the nobility of all classes. Just the Habsburgs themselves, there are a bunch of collateral members to support. Otherwise, the emperor's finances will not be so tight.
In addition, for the Hanseatic commercial city and other imperial cities in the Holy Roman Empire, during the war, according to the agreement between the two sides, it is also possible to temporarily levy a war tax. Because the independent status of these commercial cities is specially given by the emperor. Therefore, in return, when the emperor launched the war, they were obliged to provide the emperor with a certain military expenditure.

However, this money is not so good. If the emperor is fighting a war against foreign invasion (such as the Ottoman Turkish invasion), these cities will not hesitate to provide certain taxes. But if the emperor himself fights external wars, these cities may not be willing to pay taxes. Or, even if you pay taxes, you will get a big discount, or you will be obedient when paying taxes. At the same time, during the war, the emperor could also temporarily add taxes to the Austrian and Burgundian under the control of the Habsburg family for war.

But the daily taxes of Austria and Burgundy, it is very difficult to feed the mercenary army. So before the war, the emperor had no financial resources to expand the army. This is the drawback of the European economic system - the tax is not returned to the central government, but to the lords of various places. This led to the financial difficulties of the central dynasty and the lack of money to support too many troops. Unlike the feudal dynasty of China, from the Qin Dynasty, all the finances were returned to the court, which made the Chinese dynasty have enough financial resources to support hundreds of thousands of troops. It seems that Europe did not begin to establish a stable, unified modern tax system until the end of the 17th century. Then, by the 18th century, the European national war was no longer a small tens of thousands of people, but a large-scale tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people went.
Marin recalled the history he had learned in the previous life and found that although King Charles VIII announced his sovereignty over the Kingdom of Naples at the beginning of the year, he had not assembled enough troops to invade Naples. It seems that Charles VIII only assembled 37,000 troops to enter Italy at the end of August this year. At present, the messenger of Charles VIII is estimated to recruit mercenaries in Switzerland. The news that Charles VIII is preparing for the entire army should also be transmitted to Vienna, but Vienna is can not make the decision to fight, and it is estimated that it will take a long time. You know, the Holy Roman Empire is a country like the aristocratic parliamentary system. Whether it is fighting with the French, it is estimated that the Imperial Parliament will have to argue for a long time. The main core is that the emperor needs to expand the army if he wants to play. The expansion of the army requires the imposition of a war tax. Commercial cities must temporarily impose a war tax. Even the dukes and counts are obliged to contribute money to the emperor during the war. But for this money, it is estimated that it will be noisy for a few months, and there will be no result.

Of course, those nobles are not distressed by the money. They just feared that the emperor would be strengthen by expanding the army and then use it against them. You know, this is a criminal record. The French king had done this kind of thing. From the beginning of Philip IV, the French king began to suppress the princes and even confiscated the church property. The men of Philip IV were even sent to the Avignon of France because of the conflict between the Philip IV and the pope. It is precisely because his men kidnapped the Pope, that Italy did not have the constraints of the Pope in a hundred years before it began the Renaissance... Of course, this is far away. In short, if the nobles really support the emperor, they will inevitably get burned in the end, and they will lose the privilege of self-government. After all, the emperors are ruthless.

According to memory, the "sacred alliance" against France's invasion of Italy seems to have been established in March 1495. At that time, the Holy Roman Empire really joined the war.
Therefore, Marin can be sure that the Holy Roman Empire is unlikely to expand. Even if the army is expanded, at least it will be passively expanded after the French army officially entered Italy in August. It is only in early May that it is estimated that he will not be able to participate in the emperor's army for at least three months.
