Age Of Islands: I Can See Through All Things Chapter 7
Advertisement
Jack, who was on the island, did not know that the people at the pier had thought of so many things at once.
But even if he knew, he did not intend to explain anything.
After all, how could country bumpkins like them understand the awesome system?
Looking at the phone in his hand, Jack could not help but laugh.
He had thought that he would have to sacrifice it to deal with danger, but who would have thought that it would still remain with him now?
The information in the phone was very important to Jack.
Perhaps in many years, he would be able to use technology to create cell phones in this world.
The key to everything was the phone in front of him, so he could not lose it!
If he grasped it well, he could at least improve the development of Jack's island's by a hundred years worth of technology!
The island's acceleration continued.
Everyone was shocked by Jack's magical display!
At this moment, they no longer had any second thoughts as they stood there quietly.
Only the Silver Swordsman and the Fox-eared Girl stood behind Jack to protect him.
Jack looked back at the slaves he had bought.
His mood inexplicably improved a lot. These were all his foundation and subjects in this world!
He would lead these subjects to establish his own Utopia.
However, these people were slaves after all. Even though they were all in their prime, their faces were sallow and they were thin.
Their clothes were extremely tattered and their bodies were even more dirty.
He watched as they chattered nonstop.
Jack pressed his hands together, and everyone quieted, looking up at their new master.
"Everyone, rest on the spot and prepare food. After eating, build a base on the spot and settle down at the fastest speed possible."
Jack's idea was simple.
He was not sure about the situation on the island yet.

According to the books he had read before, the items spawned on the island were all random.
Perhaps, it was possible that there were terrifying beasts and precious treasures.
But no matter what, today was not the day to explore.
When they arrived at a new place, the first thing they had to do was to calm down their excited hearts so that the arrangements after that would not be messy.
This was his experience from the previous world.
At this moment, Jack, who was in a high position, had to think for the sake of these thousand people.
After hearing Jack's arrangement, everyone could not help but exclaim.
Then, Jack ignored the slaves and led the Silver Swordsman deeper into the island.
"Master, for your safety, please wait a moment and let us check if the surroundings are safe," Eugene hurriedly said.
After listening to Eugene, Jack thought about it and agreed.
After all, this was an unfamiliar place.
Leaders should not put themselves in danger.
Subsequently, Jack left behind a Silver Swordsman and let the remaining Silver Swordsmen spread out to explore the surroundings.
Furthermore, he instructed that no matter what they encountered, as long as it was something they was unfamiliar with, they could not provoke it. This would prevent a chain effect.
The slaves that had finally calmed down after some time felt a strong impact again.
After listening to Jack's lecture, everyone quickly left.
The slaves below were also cooking in an orderly manner.
Jack sat on the hill with the Fox-eared Girl beside him.
Staring at the island that was moving left, Jack's heart felt a little lonely for the first time.
He was like a wanderer away from home.
No matter how happy and expectant he was before he left, at this moment, his excited heart calmed down, and he could not avoid feeling disappointed.
Alice, who was beside Jack, felt the change in his mood.

She could not help but sit down beside Jack and rest her head on his shoulder, whispering soothingly: "It's all right, Master, Alice will be with you."
Feeling the warmth at his chest, Jack felt somehow better.
The world was unfamiliar to Jack, but he was glad he had Alice with him.
She was Jack's only warmth in the world.
The two of them leaned against each other as they sat on the small mountain and watched the sea area that was left behind by the island.
After an unknown period of time, the Silver Swordsmen team that went out to investigate returned.
They did not dare to interrupt Jack. They got down on one knee behind Jack and Alice and waited without complaint.
In a few moments, Jack snapped out of his daze. He put Alice down and stood up, showing no signs of apologizing at all.
In his previous life, Jack was also an executive of the company.
He had his own ways to deal with his subordinates.
The key point was that the leader could not apologize.
Once he apologized, it meant that the leader was a human too and would make mistakes. That would ruin the leader's image and affect his future plans.
This was especially the case in this world. No matter what occupation these people had, they were all subordinates that he could kill at will.
He had to emphasize this point, be it when assigning missions or ensuring his own safety!
Eugene and the others, who were kneeling on the ground, suddenly felt their master's aura change.
He seemed to have become stronger and colder.
Hence, they knelt even lower.
Looking at the people below, Jack asked, "What's the result?"
As the strongest Silver Swordsman, Eugene was undoubtedly the leader of this team.
Thus, he said: "Master, we have already explored one-tenth of this island, there is almost no danger, there are no traces of large beasts."
Hearing this, Jack nodded.
He still had the most important thing to do.
That was the three types of Haki that the system sent to him.
This was a world of swords and magic, and the skill given to him by the system was from the world of One Piece.
The difference between the two worlds was huge.
For his own safety, Jack desperately wanted to know what level of strength he had now!
Then, Jack left a few Silver Swordsmen to maintain order and brought the remaining Silver Swordsmen into the forest.
After walking about a kilometer, Jack made all the Silver Swordsmen retreat half a kilometer away and surround this place.
The Silver Swordsman obeyed and left.
After that, only Jack and the Fox-eared Girl were present.
After all the Silver Swordsmen left, Jack could not hold back anymore as he activated the Haki.
The first was Armament Haki.
Jack willed as a black energy instantly spread to his hands, forming a very solid black membrane.
Looking at the black membrane in his hand, Jack felt his strength increase by more than three times in an instant.
Furthermore, it provided an indestructible attribute.
Then, Jack punched the tree.
With a bang, the tree collapsed.
Looking at the damage he had caused, Jack was stunned.
He did not expect Armament Haki to be so powerful!
Behind him, the Fox-eared Girl was also stunned.
She did not feel any battle aura on Jack.
He broke a tree with just his strength?
It was too terrifying. He was simply born with divine strength!
Sensing the abnormal commotion at Jack's location, the Silver Swordsmen rushed over crazily.
As soon as they arrived, they looked at the fallen tree in front of Jack and guessed that an enemy had attacked. Immediately, Eugene and his men knelt down and begged for mercy, "Master, we're sorry that we're late. Please punish us!"

A Primeval Future
Follow the story of a modern caveman as he learns to survive, thrive, and shape his nascent civilization in a world yet untouched by man. Expect a focus on the nitty-gritty of primitive living, especially early on. I plan for this to eventually progressing to the settlement management and politics stage as people gravitate towards the one guy who looks like he knows what he's doing, but this will likely take some time. Despite the occasional system elements, skilling and levels will not be a part of this story. No shortcuts. There will be violence and there will be sexuality but there will be no sexual violence. I hate reading that crap and I hate writing it even more. This is my first serious foray into writing. I plan to put out at least 1 chapter a week, more when I can. Constructive criticism is very much welcomed as are ideas and suggestions! Cover image credit: "Mesolithic camp site" by Wessex Archaeology is licensed with CC BY-NC 2.0.
