Fantasy Simulator Chapter 81
Advertisement
Sitting in front of his desk, Chen Heng wrote his suggestions earnestly on the letter.
He was incredibly serious as he wrote this letter, and he would often stop and think to himself before continuing to write.
Without realizing it, he began to write more and more, until he had a thick pile of paper in front of him.
Right now, he was wholeheartedly thinking for Olivia.
Of course, he was not doing this because he was truly loyal but because he did not have enough power.
If he could, in his current circumstances, Chen Heng would like to gain even more, but he did not have enough power.
Even though he had been able to develop Sordar, his power could not compare to the royal family, which had accumulated strength for hundreds of years.
After all, this was quite a remote land, and even though it had developed quickly for five years, it still could not compare to the royal family.
It would be impossible for Chen Heng to conspire against the Kutu Principality within a short amount of time.
Since this was not possible, it was better to solidify his results thus far.
After all, according to the Simulation System's principles, even if he did not become King, as long as he could affect the entire Kutu Royal City, he would still be able to obtain more Points.
Only after finishing the very thick letter did Chen Heng stop.
He sighed and had someone take this letter away and deliver it to Olivia.
However, despite having written this letter, Chen Heng was not very optimistic about the effects that this letter would have.
That was how things often were.
Even if one knew what the right thing to do was, they would not necessarily do it.
Moreover, with Olivia's personality, she might not actually believe that Chen Heng's suggestions were correct. On the contrary, she might think that he was too weak and twist his ideas.

The results would be difficult to predict.
However, despite knowing that the effects would not be great, Chen Heng still did this.
After all, since he had benefited from Olivia, he would still try to help her.
After finishing the letter, Chen Heng walked out of the room and came outside.
There were two people strolling about in the courtyard outside.
One was a woman wearing a long dress, holding a small boy.
The small boy only looked two or three years old, and he seemed quite lively. He was running all over the grass and often fell over.
Fortunately, the grass was quite thick so he was fine even if he fell over.
On the side, the woman gave a kindly smile as she looked at her child, watching over him.
"Verna."
Chen Heng turned and looked at the woman and smiled.
Verna immediately looked up.
After five years, Verna's appearance had not changed too much.
Back when she had married Chen Heng, she had only been around 16 years old. Now that five years had passed, she did not look too different but looked somewhat more mature.
Faint sunlight shined on her body, making her smile look even more enchanting.
Hearing Chen Heng's voice, she turned and looked at Chen Heng, and a blissful smile appeared on her face.
After five years, Chen Heng and Verna had had a child.
Their relationship was still very good, and they had not separated much over the past five years. They had not had many fights either, and they would always spend time harmoniously together with smiles on their faces.
They were a model couple.
Chen Heng kept all of the vows he had made to Verna back then.
He did not get close to any other women and would never go back on his promises.

In the past, Verna would occasionally throw tantrums, but Chen Heng would always smile and treat her patiently and not fight with her.
Five years later, their relationship was still very harmonious, and it was something that many people admired.
"What did big sister do?" Verna asked softly, looking at Chen Heng walking over.
"She killed some people and took some territory," Chen Heng said as he shook his head, "After some time I might have to leave you all for a while."
"Alright," Verna did not question him and only gently nodded.
The two of them held each other's hand and walked about as they looked at their child, watching him play.
Time gradually passed, and soon, it had been a few months.
Just as Chen Heng had expected, his letter to Olivia did not have much of an effect.
Olivia did not even send a letter back and had fallen silent.
However, after some time, an emissary from the Kutu Royal City brought some news.
"I've been summoned to the Kutu Royal City to participate in this year's banquet?"
Looking at the emissary in front of him, Chen Heng frowned.
"Indeed," the emissary nodded and replied.
Hearing his words, Chen Heng inwardly frowned and felt a sense of ridiculousness.
Before, he had often made suggestions to Olivia to hold banquets every year and invite various rulers.
There were many benefits to this.
The Kutu Principality had many territories, and most of them were not very close to the Kutu Royal City. Adding on the transportation systems of this world, it would take quite long for a trip to the Kutu Royal City.
Sometimes, if a ruler wanted to travel from their territory to the Kutu Royal City, it would take them two or three months.
As such, just the time it took to travel to and from the Kutu Royal City would sometimes take around half a year.
Olivia summoning the rulers to the Kutu Royal City would make them waste much time on the way, reducing their control over their territories.
Rulers usually stayed within their territories and were essentially like a faux-Emperor within their territories.
However, once they left their territory for a long time, someone else would have to take over in the meantime.
This way, they would lose some control over their territories.
At the same time, the journey would use up much of their strength, energy, and money, making them quite tired.
As such, Olivia had done this in the past.
In response, most rulers felt quite bitter, but summoning nobles was one of the powers of the royal family. It was also the duty of the nobles, so they had no reason to refuse.
In fact, if they refused, it would give Olivia a reason to punish or execute them.
As such, Olivia had continuously retained this method and used it regularly.
Chen Heng had never thought that he would be summoned this time.
"Did I shoot myself in the foot?" Chen Heng thought to himself.
The distance from Sordar to the Kutu Royal City was not extremely far away, but it was not close either.
Even if it was faster than others, it would take him nearly a month to arrive.
Adding on the time for the banquet, as well as taking care of matters in the Kutu Royal City, it would take him four or five months to get back.

A World Forgotten
***This story will contain lite-litrpg elements, mainly character pages and a town page. There will also be settlement building and adventuring, missteps and achievements. But one thing it definitely won’t have is a harem. Nor will it have an overpowered MC. Contains mild cursing.*** ***feel free to critique my writing and offer input. This is my first venture into writing. I've always enjoyed litrpg/gamelit books. I feel like I write how I talk, so it may be a little different. You won't hurt my feelings if you see something wrong or out of place! *** ***What follows is a condensed part of chapter 1. Enjoy!*** Drew Cooper is thrust into a new, unfamiliar world. Waking up in his sweats and t-shirt near what seems to be a forgotten path through some woods, he struggles coming to terms that he's no longer in his apartment. As he tries to cope with his new reality, he hears a horse coming down the path. He hides behind a nearby tree dreading what may happen next. As the horse approaches, he sees a man walking next to it. The horse is burdened with packs and gear. When the man nears, Drew nearly panics. He has a large sword strapped to his waist, obviously a fighter. He continues to hide as the man slowly passes only for the man to stop a dozen meters past his hiding spot. "You may as well come out, ya know. You weren't as well hidden as you thought," the man stated matter-of-factly, letting the horse’s reins go and putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Slowly and scared for his life, Drew raised up and walked from behind the tree. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on attacking you. I-I don't know where I am. I heard your horse and hid. I didn't know what you'd do if you saw me. I'm sorry," he nervously blurted out. A minute passed. Then two. The man seemed interested with Drew and stepped closer, eyes squinting as if trying to see something. "What's that on your shirt? Is that. What is that? Is that, Pac-man?" The man was visibly shaken while pointing at me. Looking down at his t-shirt nervously, "Yea. Yea. I woke up here a few hours ago I think. 3 maybe 4 hours. I’ve just been sitting here. Where am I? What's going on?" Drew asked. "That's not important right now," the man replied. " What's important is where you're from. What year is it?" "What year? April something 2020. Why? What's going on?" Drew continued now worried. The man was taken aback. After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself some. The man sighed and looked at Drew in earnest. "Well, I've got good news and bad news for ya. Bad news is you're not on Earth anymore. Good news is you happened to run into me and not someone else. You’re either really lucky, or it’s fate we met in these woods, and I don’t believe in luck." The man continued to walk towards Drew while talking and put out his hand. "I'm John Mitchell from St. Louis or thereabouts. You’ve got nothing to be scared of by me. Walk with me and let’s talk."
