it's really good, but honestly? i expected the themes to lean more heavily on the ranks and SAS4 military, this one seems to lean more towards kingdom building and politics, i want this guy to get general rank and participate in planetary wars.

LIKEu mean to lean more on the SAS 4 itself? I mean, i thought of it. once the outbreak is settled. I probably do that coz that's the only logical thing but probably on another world though. I mean, the clue is there... Orbital Fortress? A spacecraft armed to teeth with offensive power that double as self sufficient industrial manufacturing plant that can pump out guns, bullets and armor provided he have material and blueprint?
the system itself has the capability to do so, you could just make it so that he can't arm/recruit/buy conscripts is because he doesn't have a high enough rank plus you already made consessions with him giving him the flawless progenitor serum instead you could have naturally boosted his physique and constitution with each rank up and you already hinted at a higher command structure existing that saved the main character from being kidnapped
I wonder how should I explain this...So, it's like this. The System don't own everything. The actual SAS 4 universe (AU) exists somewhere out there capable of Interdimensional travels it sort of the same universe as my 'Yet Another Ray With System' fic. Yes, a higher command structure exist. But not subservient to the System. When Captain Bane save Adam, System actually create a contract and pull some string using it's power to get Captain Bane into Remnant and take that contract to save Adam.
as for the rank up boosting his strength and vitality is not that i didn't want. but it do not fit the no magic bs rule I imposed. the serum is just a justification for me to make mc stronger as for the higher rank unlock more functions thing I will keep in consideration
you could just explain it as nanomachines making him stronger etc like that nano machine novel and about the SAS 4 universe, you don't have to actually have the whole universe and its command structure be obedient to the system after all system is just themed in SAS 4 but the actual system is a whole another thing, SO you could just have him unlock i dunno some kind of cloning tech and disguise it as conscription or recruiting just give them the same armor and guns badumm you have SAS soldiers on standby
my idea actually is he eventually can recruit people that are willing and then the system will convert them into SAA Soldiers
but hey, cloning seems easier
