I was going to need to run quite a lot and even today was accounted for in the training plan. I didn’t mind as I needed to run to the village anyways as I had people to inform and preparations to make.
This wasn’t going to be a quick run as I was supposed to slow down my energy circulation as much as possible. I also need to pick up some weights that I put into my tattoo storage to make this even worse.
When I made it out of my own lands, I was already sweating hard, but I kep...

I just didn’t want to deal with this. I had hoped that I would be able to relax a bit, but it seems my wishes will not be granted. To escape at least only for a moment, I jumped into the river and let myself sink to the bottom. Being surrounded by the darkness helped centre me a bit. But I wasn’t going to get a moment of rest.
A notification informed me that my fitness enhancement had levelled up and since it was already at level 19 it tiered up and gave me an option of abilities to...

Apparently, my class post had caused a bit of an incident when people found out about it and what it could mean for them. The 25 open spots for my class had been filled in about 15 minutes. Even David was able to get himself into my class. Almost half were just regular people, and I was glad to see that not every spot was filled with people on the top.
I looked over the 25 people eagerly waiting. “Please everyone, find a place to sit down but make sure you are at least 2 meters away f...

When I made it back to my home after visiting Emma and George, Arthur and I had dinner together and then I went to sleep. The next day I helped Arthur finish making the bridge pieces. We worked on them for the entire day, and I continued to work into the night so we would be finally finished by the next morning.
It will take u...

When we got to Georges's place, I could already see an area that was marked and some of it was dug up. He still had a lot of work to do but after we discussed his building design some more, I recommended that he make a bigger basement and how we should support the first floor. He will have a lot of work to do and it will take him more than a week to dig everything out that was needed before he could start with the foundation.
I had guided them on how to get the merging joints ability an...

In the morning I met up with my apprentices and we discussed that in about a week when everything started to calm down around here, we would start their house building. While I wasn’t going to go to more meetings if I didn’t have to, I had an extremely important thing to take care of. I went around to find out all the soldiers' names who died during the battle.
After finding out every name and finding the corresponding bodies I began my work. A bit away from the village was a beauti...

Then came the issue of land ownership. In the end, we landed on currently allowing three possible landowners. The government itself, any homesteader and land given to the clan military. There was a lot of pushback but slowly everything was explained, especially about the class that I would be giving out for free that will hopefully eventually account for a large percentage of our population. While everyone wasn’t completely on board there wasn’t direct opposition anymore.

I continued by looking at my skill list and I really needed to get basic meditation to tier up as I felt it was just on the edge of a level up. Otherwise, I still had quite a lot of basic skills, especially in the resource-gathering section. I needed to work on that otherwise I feel like my levelling up has decreased even on the lower end. I guess I’m running up to the wall that my previous life experience has made.

I looked at my two captors. I could see that they wanted to join the fight to protect their king against Rich but one of them was also looking at me like he wanted to kill me before they went. It was obvious that he thought that this situation was somehow wrong. I need to get away from here before they decided to kill me, but I was never going to be able to outrun or kill them. And I was so close to getting to my brother.

Laia had never been in a battle before but now she was holding a shield and a spear. She was preparing herself and the person in front of her to take charge of the enemies. At this moment she regretted when having picked a combat class for one of her open class slots.

It was a resplendent summer morning, the sky an unblemished canvas of blue. The Slave King observed his army as they prepared for a brief march towards the final confrontation of his campaign. As strategized the night before, his elite forces had slipped into the forest, advancing under the cover of foliage to flank the United Freeholds army and swiftly scatter their ranks.
A rare smile graced the Slave King's face, as he stood surrounded by his staunchest guards and two of his oldest f...

I stood upon the elevated platform once used by performers the night before, surveying the crowd assembled at the heart of the village. Almost all of them bore the clan's military trait, yet few donned armor or any other distinctive attire. Legionaries and elite warriors alike had gathered, and even though delivering a speech carried risks, maintaining morale in the coming week and throughout the battle was crucial.

As I assembled my contraption, every time I glanced up at the Legionnaires, I noticed a few more wide-eyed expressions from those who had figured out what was going to happen. They obeyed orders and remained silent, but I could sense the nervous energy beginning to take hold. When I lifted the completed contraption and fastened it to Francis, some of the Legionnaires started to sweat in panic.
I dusted myself off and straightened up before addressing them. "We are going to face a diffic...

Only a few hours ago, we received confirmation that the Slave King's army had been decimated. The outcome exceeded my expectations, as he had even eliminated the surviving ranged units infected with the undead virus.
In reality, out of a hundred people, only about five would have turned, according to Khris. His mastery over his class and abilities to control the undead has grown immensely, and I'm grateful for his support. With him on our side, the undead will likely never pose a threat...

I was growing increasingly impatient. We were nearly a week away from the final town I intended to seize during this campaign. After that, only a handful of villages remained to be conquered, one of which would prove slightly more difficult to take, but it wouldn't require more than a few hours. It baffled me how they had managed to claim so much land, but soon it would all be mine to incorporate into my kingdom.
However, I couldn't shake my unease about that terri...

When I got back to the soon-to-be demolished town, I found myself having some free time. It was time to find out what the rest of my traits did and hopefully figure out some of the abilities I have gotten as well.
The first one I started with is sharmar’s organ. This was the first trait that actually added something to my body instead of changing it. Next to my heart was an egg-sized organ which I have tried to ignore until now.
I still didn’t know how to feel about it. Could ...

“I would like to get started but before that, I would like to ask do you have a name for this place other than the encampment that it used to be,” I asked all the council members. One of the shortest goblins I've seen answered in a straight manner, “It’s Hilfort village.” I gave the goblin a head nod and gathered myself for a moment before starting.

I was glad that I didn’t have to explain or organize the townspeople's departure to our village. Having people do that for me was quite nice. Of course, the townspeople didn’t like that but when they understood that we were not there to rob them and were even willing to bring their stuff to the village that they couldn’t bring themselves they began to accept this change a bit better.
Most of these people have lived in this town for their entire life or are from the surrounding far...

Even before meeting the refugees, we had planned out our strategy. At first, we were going to be confrontational but then when the refugees explained their situation we were going to be accepting and even welcoming.
Everyone was playing their part quite well. When we set up a large tent that we wanted to use to question people we got our first major pushback. This was to be expected but they soon accepted when we told them that we were worried about spies.

It was another day of training when I finally felt it. A large group of people were entering our territory. My moment of relief from the anxiety of waiting I was feeling spiked into worry. The group of people hadn’t entered from the road near the town but came through the forest that was over 100 km away from the town.
I continued to observe them trying to understand what was happening, but I soon figured it out. They were just regular refugees who happened to reach us before the cara...

The location was quite far into the grasslands, but the monster was too high tier for the surrounding animals, and it was eating everything around it. But before I got too far into the grasslands, I visited the horses.
In all honesty, they just used the stables as a place ...

I was heading home while pulling a cart that was full of glass panels. I was finally able to get my order so I can finally finish building my greenhouse. I wasn’t in a rush, so I was walking slowly. We couldn't go to the town before the caravan with the infiltrators arrived and that would most likely take a week or more. I was hoping that it was going to be an actual caravan of refugees and just a few infiltrators. That would be the best-case scenario.
Nobody liked the morning meeting...
