Class: <Death God>

Ability Points: 51

Stat Points: 0

As I sat there finishing my breakfast I went ahead and opened my [Town Creation Skill].

[Town Creation]

<Forks> (Level 1 Village)

(1) Housing

(2) Infrastructure

(3) Farms

(4) Workshops

(5) Guard Towers

(6) Marketplace

For some reason the word Forks was blinking, so I concentrated on it to see what was going on.

Village Name: "Forks" Level: 1 <Criminal> (Village)

Population: 176 TCP:176 (TCP= Town Creation Points; Gained daily on how many people are living in the town/village/city)

Gold: 20, Farms: 4, Storage: 12,890 pounds of wheat, 20 bags of salt

Blacksmith: 1, Storage: 14 swords, 2 sets of beat-up plate armor.

Tailor:1, Storage: 13 rolls of silk.

Lumbermill: (12 employee's, 4 Carpenters), Storage: 56 Planks, 234 wooden Sheets, 989 wooden logs

Miners: 4, Storage: 17,654 pounds of coal, 200 bars of iron

Mines: 1 (Coal/Iron mine)

Village stats, that's handy. Don't need to do paperwork, it's like having a computer in my head.

The only problem with this village is the Criminal flag, the people will now be picked on even more by the adventures, but now they have a chance at fighting back. I wanted to take it one step further and make it, so they never get attacked again.

Everyone on this world was pretty much immortal, so the only thing worst then death was losing all your gear. If you didn't have it in your inventory, or if you was wearing it and died… others around have the chance to loot. Because of this, me and my village have the potential to be the best, because I already have loads of top equipment.

So I needed to start creating an ultimate army, and for that I needed my follower menu first. It was a new day, so I had follower points now! In my head I brought up the Leadership menu.

<Leadership Menu>

-Follower Points: 176-

-Current Followers: 176-

*<Follower Menu>

*<Lord Menu>

*<High-Lord Menu>

One hundred and seventy-six points, the exact number of how many people were in this village. I was now all those people's lord, and I wanted to be the best Lord!

Just then Andrew Forks walked into the building and paused at the door as if confused. He most likely got nervous walking in because he was so used to coming in. Well, no sense in breaking that habit.

"Your late Mr. Forks! Come have a seat." I sounded off, which surprised him, but he quickly came and sat down where I was pointing. "I'm currently working through the follower menu and I'd like to make a few citizens into soldiers." I explained as he nodded his head.

"We have quite a few young men that would love the chance to defend their village, same with the old ones. Everyone is fed up of not having any skills to fight back, I like your thinking of focusing on this." Andrew retorted with a smile.

"Well, I can make up to eight Soldiers, than perhaps one Rancher since we don't have any." I explained counting quickly in my head to make sure I did it right. I should be left with exactly sex follower points left.

"I agree sir, would you like me to go choose six young men?" He asked, from which I gave him a nod. He quickly stood up and walked back out the door, then he paused and looked back at me. "Would you prefer if I knocked first?" He asked, from which I gave him a shake of my head.

"You are my Vassal, consider us like brothers. Takes a team of leaders to accomplish wonderous things, and we will great awesome things." I replied, getting a smile from him as he walked out the door. I could tell that Andrew really was a good person.

I then went back to my Town Creation skill and concentrated on the guard towers. This would be needed to give the village its second onion layer of defense, the first being the wooden spiked fence that made this village nearly look like a fort.

<Town Creation> (176 TCP)

<Guard Towers>

<Wooden Guard Tower>50 TCP

<Heavily Guarded Wooden Guard Tower>100 TCP

<Stone Guard Tower> 200 TCP

<Heavily Guarded Stone Guard Tower> 500 TCP

<Iron Guard Tower>: 1,000 TCP

There are four ways in and out of this village. As the main road crossed right here which was long ago called the fork, this is how the village had received the name. I needed strong protection from the north, as that's where all the adventures went. The capital would be the biggest problem more than the rest of the entrances and exits. I think for now I'm going to put a heavily guarded wooden tower in the north which costs one hundred Town Creation Points. And a normal wooden guard tower towards the west, where the main dungeon entrance was.

That left me with twenty six town creation points, then I began concentrating on the infrastructure and came up with many choices. But the only one I was interested in was the fence, we had the weakest fence. Luckily the next one up was called a stone fence and it would cost 20 Town Creation Points. But as I read the instructions, I realized it was twenty points per meter. This Village was very large, and it still had plenty of undeveloped property within the village.

I would need to wait a few days to get more points to start working on the fence, it would probably take me a few months to finish the entire fence just waiting on the points to come in. Reading how it worked, I could also speed up the process by hiring workers to do it normally.

I walked out the door and headed straight for the north gate, all the nice buildings were lined up on the road headed out this way. One being the temple which I thought was interesting, I hadn't seen it before in the stats.

I ignored it for now and moved to the left side of the wooden gate and concentrated on purchasing the <Heavily Guarded Wooden Guard Tower> then in my vision a see through large guard tower was floating in the air in front of me. I started moving it in my head and placed it close to the wall, I was surprised to see that the gaming world on earth would of programmed this way better then the actual gods did. There were no green or red outlines that would warn me that I couldn't place something somewhere.

I then released the tower, and took a step back as the outline started to slowly build the tower, except it wasn't. Then I noticed that the faint tower had a square space beside it showing what material's it needed. I looked around to find that I had drawn a crowd as they all looked up at the large tower. I decided to teach the people now how this works.

"Hey Everyone," I shouted, getting all eyes on me and hushed whispers. "This is our new Guard tower, all you must do is put the materials in this square, and only the amount needed. Explain this to everyone and if you have free time in your day, please try to fill in these material requests so the towers can be built. So, we can properly defend ourselves!" This last part got the entire crowd to cheer, and they quickly started getting to the task.

I then did the same thing on the west gate except I purchased just the wooden guard tower. To my surprise villagers were already moving about filling the orders. I watched for about five minutes till all the supplies were met on the normal guard tower, and it magically was built. Just like a game. But to the villagers everything was normal, this was life. Anybody who was a lord had powers like these.

By the time I made it back to the main building, there was a few young men standing outside who quickly all stood at attention when they recognized me. I looked around for Andrew but guessed he was inside so I walked past the boys and entered the building.

Sure enough Andrew was there sitting down where he was before with a quite a few young men standing around him. Instead of chatting, I decided to just go ahead and get it done.

"Which one of you is the rancher?" I asked and one tall man raised his hand. I started with him.

It was pretty simple I touched his shoulder and pushed the Rancher Class on to him, there was a slight bluish light between our contact, but it was gone as soon as it had arrived. With his raised eyebrow's it was good enough confirmation that he had received the class.

I then quickly started handing out all the classes for soldier I was able to buy, and was able to convert all the men.

"From this day forward you are protectors of Forks, I expect you to start a guard duty roster to man the towers. I want the gates closed during the night, and if a large monster or army shows up." I explained getting nods from them all. "Go to the blacksmith and pick out your weapons, looks like we have a few in stock." I commanded, getting nods from them all, then I shooed them away.

"I can start training with them if you want so they can level up?" Andrew offered, I still couldn't wrap my head around them being able to level up.

"Can they level up by going through the dungeons?" I asked, wondering exactly how they would level up.

"No… but they were not able to level up before as just humans, you must have a class first… Is this not how it is where you come from?" Andrew asked, confused why I wouldn't know that.

"Actually, where I come from there is no System, at least not the type of system you're thinking of" I responded not really wanting to explain so I opened up the door and walked out. I scanned the surroundings with a smile, I would become pro at this game! I wondered what my other clones were up too.

Pretty sure it took one and a half days for all the monsters of level three and the boss to die, I couldn't complain too much I was level 18 and close to leveling again. I needed a better strategy for when I came down here, perhaps it'd be better if I had my original here.

Now I stood in front of the floating orb, taking a deep breath I accepted to continue the dive to the fourth floor, the Floor that I hadn't been to yet. With a bit of excitement at having the option to release Gabe available and Skaven Call, I was pretty confident that I could take on anything.

I had also practiced with my Chakra Control, it was pretty interesting, it was like an aura of my life energy. It was okay to use that aura or Chakra and I had nearly and unending amount because my life force kept producing it at a constant rate. I normally used all the aura into my attacks and waited till it recharged, because it was always producing.

I had found an interesting necklace with an obsidian jewel on it that had a bit of a bluish tint inside. Its description was that it could store power, so I had used up all my power into it, I after all didn't really need power. Then I tried to do the same with my chakra and was surprised by the result. Chakra could also be used for power! And with how much it took to fill the necklace, I would say I was easily sitting on at least a thousand power at a time. The necklace was nearly endless on how much it could hold so I kept filling it when I was close to being topped off. It didn't make sense to waste that extra energy that could be created, so I did my best to always keep me low, never full.

I was surprised to find that I still had the class abilities of the god of death class. I had so many corpses in my inventory that I could easily raise an army in no time. Now the legendary items I just found, It was a full set so I quickly equipped it without really reading it all. The pants ability to not be hungry or thirsty or sleepy… I could last forever as a clone.

I didn't want to go to the dungeon as I only had so many dives, so I decided that today I would explore what's around the village. That way I could help defend it better or defend it now depending.

The village was surrounded by a vast forest, a very healthy forest. The trees looked like maples but the size of red woods. You had to keep a watch from above as well as from around, because of the entire ecosystem that existed just inside of all the branches that existed from tree's to trees. Always so many strange sounds coming from everywhere. There's nobody around, yet it sounds like you're standing in the center of a vast city.

I created a few zombie bears to stay in certain spots and attack anything that's considered aggressive to me. The strange part is with this system, the bear automatically could detect anything that considered doing me or anyone in the village harm.

I was southeast of the village, quite a ways through the trees when I decided to turn north. That way I'd get a vast picture of just how much woods existed in this direction. There seemed to be no end to them, but then I spotted an opening more east so I traveled a little farther from the village. I found that it wasn't an opening at all, but instead it was another glowing orb just floating.

I had the impression that there was only one dungeon, could this be another one? Looking around it was a pretty thick brush, I had to summon a sharp short sword a few times to hack at plants just to get to this spot.

This was like perfect, I could go and get some levels in a new dungeon, or perhaps just another door way to the same dungeon. I was soon to find out.
