|The evolution of my fountain of souls gave me great rewards. It gifted me 100,000 soul points which hard to believe. This amount is too great! Now my current soul points are 230,700. Every time my pet killed an animal, monster, or beast, it added soul points and Exp to me. Even right now, my soul points are increasing little by little.

Right.

My soul collection was 18/100. It means I needed to gather 82 more souls to evolve my soul fountain again. It looks like, this system was encouraging me to become a killer. Well, a monster had a soul too or any life forms, but, this system only counted the soul of humans that I or my pet killed. What a bad system.|

He was contemplating.

"My lord!" Night beside him called out at him.

"Mhm?" He glanced at her with a look that wanted to question.

"Uhm...While My Lord was sleeping, something was happening in this world..." Night told him.

"Eh? R-Really?" He asked curiously while knitting his brows.

"Look, My Lord..." she pointed into the distance.

He glanced to where she was pointing and noticed that the Lord's Domain had widened or enlarge. Many mountains and forests were added into the distance. If before it was a 1-kilometer radius only, right now it was hard to measure.

|This is unbelievable! No matter how I think of it, there is nothing in mind that might be the cause of this. Uhm, wait...could it is...because of my fountain of soul? Hmm...I think it is plausible. Since nothing really had changed with me other than that.

And if I'm not wrong, this domain is connected to me.

Hmm...what a mysterious place. I need to explore this world. But before that, I have to cultivate this land first. For my pets, I mean...It is not good to call them pets anymore. Should I say for my people?

Yeah, it sounds better than pets. I don't really have any idea of why they turned humans whenever they were under my spell, this is really a weird effect. Wait, what will happen if...if I will release them from my spell? They will return back into a beast again? Hmm... I don't know. If I want to get the right answer, I have to try it for real.|

Yeman noticed the little girl Sky tugging on his sleeve.

He glanced and asked her if what's the matter. She invited him to eat. He smiled and thought, 'what a kind girl...just like my sister, it might be good if Eina met Sky so she had someone she could play with, although Sky is much younger than Eina.'

Later on, the three of them were walking side by side towards the middle of the forest. When they arrived, Yeman noticed many people that were former rats, they busied themselves.

They were doing something that Yeman could not understand. But he thought that maybe they were trying to imitate the humans. He noticed a woman trying to cook using a crude pot.

But the weird thing was...she put the whole chicken? No, it was a bird that looks like a chicken she was putting it directly into the boiling pot without cleaning or taking out its feathers. And also, the innards were still in there! No seasonings either!

He also saw a man using his fire magic to cook a piece of meat, but it was charred by his fire.

Some male was making a shelter. But for some reason, it looks like a cage. And it looks like, it could not handle a wind blow.

Yeman scratches his face and thought,

|It was good that they were learning. Haha, Good thing that Elder Priest taught them the basics. But...it looks like I needed to teach these people personally. After all, Elder Priest is a former rat also. And his knowledge is limited to rats only.|

When they noticed him. They greeted their lord and went down on their knees.

Yeman decided to himself that he would teach them how to be a human. In the first place, he was at fault that they look like these. Now that they were his people, he must be responsible for them. Even though they were supposed to be his pet, as a human being, his conscience could not tolerate it. They fought for him, he should give them what they deserve in return. And their proper necessities must be taught and given to them. Right now, the total number of his pets...people, were 227. Some of them were women and some were children.

It was so odd to see an adult woman, not in proper clothes. They were walking everywhere while almost nude.

|Wait...what?! Some of them are literally nude!|

Yeman cried out inwardly after seeing a woman wearing nothing.

Good thing that he asked Elder Priest beforehand to bring men with proper armors only when they fought with those intruders last night. If not, these women would be fighting with them without wearing anything.

Later on, he instructed them to wash their body properly. All of them except for Night and Elder Priest. They smell bad. After all, they were former rats.

Even though question marks were floating above their heads, all of them ran into the river while some used their water magic to wash. They washed every part of their bodies, men or women without feeling embarrassed, they don't have it in the first place. In their minds, they must follow their lords' order.

After meticulously cleaned their bodies, he called out again to all of them and asked to form a line. Which his people followed without a second thought.

One by one he handed them undergarments and a set of clothes. They were wondering why the Lord handed them these clothes. But when they noticed that their lord was wearing the same thing, they felt excited.

After he handed them all, he felt someone was on tugging his sleeve. He craned his neck to glance at his side to where the person tugging him. He saw the young girl again.

"Yes, Sky?" He asked.

"M-My Lord, uhm...I-I want something like Miss Night...wearing," she said shyly.

Yeman smiled and nodded. The little girl felt excited after seeing him nod. Yeman bought another gothic dress. And also...a cat ears?!!!

He smiled evilly. Wondering if what would be the former rat reaction after seeing this cat ears. But, to his dismay. No reaction at all.

A moment later, her eyes glinted with excitement upon seeing the cat ears and gothic dress.

Yeman smiled raw, he could not believe that her reaction was opposite to the one he imagined.

After giving them clothes. He taught them how to grill meats and fishes. Everyone excitedly imitated him. When they eat the food that he cooked. He noticed their strength was increasing.

Looks like, whenever he cooked it would have an effect on whoever eats them. But it only effective for one time. After that, no more increase. He tried to buy food from his market. But no reaction at all. No increase either. He thought that maybe the reason for this was because of that purple crystal.

When Mina kissed him, he gulped some of her saliva which was under the effect of that purple crystal.

Maybe because his body was not normal, that it becomes like a transmitter that any food he made could increase the consumers' strength one time.

And not because the item from the other world had some magical effect in here.

The reason why the effect of purple crystal on Mina suddenly gone after she drank the coke, he surmised that the reason was... |It was because coke was—-very acidic and good for metabolizing. And maybe acid was the best medicine to counter the side effect of purple crystal.|

While eating, he noticed their eyes meticulously watching him. Later on, they tried to imitate his gesture.

He also noticed Night beside him fixedly staring at him. But her stare was different from the others. Her stare was warm. Like she was staring to someone dear to her and not to someone she revered.

Yeman coughed. He almost choked himself by the food he was eating after realizing that this girl had some unique feelings towards him. Maybe because she was his pet that he was able to feel what she felt towards him.

Yeman wondering if this girl was really a beast before. She acted more human.

Like the others, she also tried to imitate him on how to eat using their hands and not to gnaw directly with their mouth.

At the moment, they were sitting in front of a long crude table with many slices of meats and fruits on top of it.

On his left side, the little girl Sky was bitting the fruit in her hands. And on the right side, Night slowly eating by deliberately lifting the meat into her mouth. Around them, he noticed that everyone was learning how to eat using their hands.

"M-My Lord, more meat..." a young man and a young woman delivering more meats on their table. They looked young, younger than him. Like 14-15 years old if based on their human appearances.

"Mhm, thank you Amber, Azure..." he smiled and said his thanks to the two.

"W-we are grateful to you, My Lord." They bowed slightly after putting more meats and fruits on the table. Then they left while saying, "...wow, the lord spoke my name. Hehe!" Amber cheerfully uttered. "Right, mine too!" Azure excitedly replied.

Their names were given to them by Elder Priest. And not by him. Actually, he could see their names on top of the green bar above their heads. His pet with a higher status than the others could give a name to the lower status. Right now, Elder Priest had the highest status, followed by the 15 pet he personally selected.

Then these 15 pets had also selected 15 squad members under them. The Elder Priest acted as general while the 15 pets as captains.

On the other hand, Night was not part of their tribe so she also had the highest Status like Elder Priest.

After eating meals, he was walking towards one of the trees.

Good thing that cloth was not too expensive in his market. And also food. The only expensive in it were those things related to becoming stronger.

Like for example the magic scroll. One scroll cost 100,000 soul points.

He sat in a crosslegged on the ground while leaning his back on a tree trunk. In his hand was a book.

He bought a book with a house blueprint in it in his market. Just a normal house made of woods. Since they were in the middle of the forest and woods were everywhere surrounding them.

In this world, his domain, no one would get suspicious of him when they saw these things came from another world.

After all, this world was also a different world. And only he and his people were here.

"My lord, what is that?" The pretty girl Night who arrived at his side asked him about the book he was holding.

"Hmm... this thing is called a book," he replied. Then he noticed her standing beside him. Yeman asked her to sit. Night then purposedly sat beside him.

|AHAha...too close!| He screamed inwardly. He did not mean to sit beside him. No matter how he directed himself that this girl was a beast. But whenever he saw her...no image of the beast would come to his mind.

A bulb lights in Yeman's mind when an idea suddenly pops up in his head.

"Uh, Night," he called her softly.

"...yes, My Lord?" With puppy eyes, she answered.

"...Uhm, will you help me turning this place into a proper community to live in?" He asked in a serious tone.

Night smiled warmly. She looks even lovely.

"Of course, My Lord. Whatever my Lord wants. I'm willing to do whatever it is as long as it makes my lord happy." She answered with redness.

Ahem...he cleared his throat. He knows what she was thinking. But he doesn't mean it. "Then, you will be coming with me to the Academy."

"A-ca-demy?..." she asked with a puzzled look.

"Mhm!" he nodded. If he wanted to make this place a proper community, he needed his people to learn how to write and read. And to do it, he must send them to the school.

And since Night's beauty was nobler, it was easy for him to alter her identifications. In order for her to apply to the academy. And he could teach her little by little on how to become a proper human. Of course, he needed some more people. Not only Night and him. He also needed to send some of them to the school. To learn and also to act as his spy.

But before that...he needed to teach them how to build a proper house right now.

"Let's go, Night!" Yeman smiled and stood up.

Then he asked Night to call Elder Priest.

"Yes! My Lord," she was excited. She was happy. She felt warm within. Different feelings budding inside her. Very different from before when she was still a beast. This feeling was foreign to her but for some reason, she didn't dislike it.

Although she was puzzled why she felt like this. But she was happy seeing her lord. Hearing him saying that he would bring her into this Academy thing that she doesn't have any idea of what it was, she felt very happy. Because it was also mean that she could stay by his side more often.

All of them that under his spell, could enter and exit this world using the Lord's Domain power. But they needed his permission first through ESP.

That's why, even if they exited this place, not many chances to see him. Only if he gave them a mission like hunting with him. Or, if he summoned them.

But now, he asked her to go with him to that Academy!

In that case, she had more time to be together with him. While thinking this, Night felt warm on her face.

Yeman instructed Elder Priest to gather all the people again.

After they were gathered. Yeman put down the book on a crude table.

Then...

He instructed them first to gather woods. No need for carpenter equipment. They both have superhuman strength. A swing of their blade was enough for them to cut down trees with a 2-meter radius wide trunk. Well, it was true for him and Night. But the others have a little difficulty cutting it. Anyway, they managed somehow. Some of them even tried to bite the tree trunk. Yeman chuckled seeing them.

He saw Sky passing with a basket of fruits in her hands. With her were two other children of the same height as her. They were chatting blissfully while walking towards Yeman's direction.

When they noticed him they called out in cute little voices and handed one fruit at him.

The fruit she gave him was guava. When Yeman bit it, the sweetness of its juices invaded his mouth. The three children one boy and two girls happily cackled at him. The three kids went and handed some to the others.

Not too far from him, he saw Night. He noticed her hand's nail grow 10 centimeters.

She was stepping slowly.

A moment later, she leaped towards one of the trees that surrounded by the other trees. In just a blink of an eye, her figure disappeared. Her movement was too quick that even Yeman had difficulties following her.

Seconds later...

Her feet landed gracefully on the ground. Which followed by five trees that cleanly cut fell on the ground at the same time. Yeman gaped wide mouth open.

|I have a long way to go to catch up on her huh.|

Even with his high perception he still had difficulty catching her movements. Maybe because she was a phantom which she could appear and disappear whenever she wants. She was stronger now that she became a human. Now that her brain works like a human. Night could train her ability to master them efficiently.

Currently, Yeman was a Silver-Grade Cultivator. And his sub-class remained Apprentice. He tried using the Magic Cryst like what that girl Mina told him. But to his dismay, it had no effect on him.

He surmised that the cause of it was because he doesn't have a Magic Seed in him. What he had is a Fountain of Soul. In this regard, Yeman speculated that the source of his power was soul energy. Unlike a magician with Magic Seed, their source was the Nature Energy of elements( Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, Dark) which came from their Magic Seed.

All of these were based only on what he witnessed while they were on the mission.

He noticed that girl Mina and Leo use Fire element and Stonehard generated a Light element shield. He also noticed the others using different kinds of elements. Uncle Ronny's 2-handed sword glowing brightly so he assumed that he also had an affinity of Light element.

He doesn't know yet how this Magic Seed works. Why the people here have such. In any case, He doesn't know either if Night and the others have Magic Seed also. Since they were a former beast and not a human in the beginning.

After contemplating, he exercised himself by taking down trees also.

He took a dagger from his inventory and leaped towards the tree about 10 meters away from his right side. Upon arriving at the exact distance to strike, he horizontally slashed it using the dagger in his right hand.

The tree slowly slides down until it fell on the ground.

Then he leaped to the next target and did the exact same thing he did with the other three.

The trees feel down one by one. Not far from him, Night was surrounded by trees that she took down.

"Good job," he said while handing her a bottle of water. He noticed her puzzled look, Yeman taught her how to open the cap and drank it.

She was watching him curiously and did what he did.

Gulp! Gulp! Ahhhh...

"D-D-Delicious..." she exclaimed.

The other people took the trees they cut into the empty space that was located in the middle of the forest. Then Yeman started teaching them how to polish the tree trunk they chopped.

After it, he dug a hole. Then vertically buried one by one the sturdy well-polished tree trunk. They were watching him without averting their eyes.

After he buried four of them in a square shape. He bought nails in his market. Next, he took the woods that he already cut in thin size and nailed them horizontally connected those four vertical tree trunk he buried.

The next thing he did, was the floors, then walls followed by the roof.

About more than an hour, the first well-made small house finally stood in this domain.

Compared to the house-made by real carpenters, this house still had a long way to go. But Yeman did not mind it. What's more important was that these people here would learn to build it. It's up to them how they improve in the future.

Clap! Clap! Clap... "Wow..." claps that were followed by amazement. It was from Sky.

"My lord, My lord, teach me...teach me!" She shouted.

He wondered how this little girl learned this human gesture when amazed. But after it, the others also clapping their hands while saying, 'teach me, my lord.'

"G-Good job, My Lord," Night said brimming with joy.

Yeman taught them. Until all of the men were able to build it.

Now, houses were built everywhere in the forest inside his domain.

Sky and the other kid imitated what they did. And was able to build a chicken cage. Yeman chuckled while watching it.

He found her very amusing.
