Chapter 11: Prepping for the change over
I am a genius and one luck guy. My plan worked better than I expected. I visited 5 continents, 35 countries, and have brought back an amazing amount of wealth for my new kingdom. I also made some great contacts and invited a few people to join me at the “Resort” for its grand opening. I am set monetary wise for the rest of my life and my kingdom probably has enough wealth to survive for dozens if not hundreds of years. As a bonus I also picked up three more titles and 6 more levels. The titles were unexpected but a great bonus. I really think I am starting to turn into an OP character. However, that is a good thing. The stronger I am the easier it will be to protect those around me.
When I finally arrive back in North Carolina I will inspect the construction efforts that have been going on while I have been traveling and start ordering consumables. I will also need to start enchanting items and creating a magic based technology platform for after the Great Game start. After my world-wide trip this is where I stand: Stats
Name: Mark Anderson
Titles: Survivor +1, Quadelementalist +4, Lucky One +1,
Master Thief +1, World Traveler +1, Wealthy +1
Level: 18 - 23% Unspent Attribute Points: 3 Strength: 30 HP: 300 Intelligence: 55 +20%MP MP: 1320 Wisdom: 55 +20% MP/Regen HP/Regen: 33% per 15 min. Agility: 30 MP/Regen: 66% per 15 min. Constitution: 30 +10% HP/Regen Luck: 40
Affinities: Earth - 100% Fire – 100%
Water – 100% Air – 100%
I have finally figured out all my stat bonuses except for luck. I assume luck will come into play for drops once monsters are introduced to the world. I am keeping it high because being lucky is never a bad thing.

An average adult has 10 points across the board in all stats.
If you double the stats you double their abilities. For instance a person with 15 strength is 1.5 times stronger than a normal person. However, after you double your attributes it keeps on being double. What I mean is that 20 strength is 2 times stronger than a regular person, but to be 3 times as strong you have to raise your strength to 40.
You get a 10 percent bonus for every 25 points in Intelligence, Wisdom, and Constitution.
You get 5 points to distribute after each level up into the six different stats.
The titles each provide extra points in all 6 stats dependent on their worth.
Each +1 on a title is equivalent to a free level and just a little bit more. This means I have 9-10 levels worth of free stat points that others will not. That is a huge advantage. Each title is awarded after fulfilling unique conditions, I believe that some are repeatable and others will not be. This means that I need to grab or earn as many titles as possible before others get the free bonus points.
Invitations for the grand opening of my eco-tourism resort have started going out and I am already starting to get some RSVP’s. I have told my family and friends that I am hosting an extended family reunion and summer solstice grand opening part at my new resort. All expenses paid so they do not have to worry about anything. They have been fed the line that they will be testers of all of the resorts amenities before I open it up to the general public so I can work out any problems. All of the people invited someone I have met and interacted with or are friends of friends. I hope this will increase the number of people that accept the invitations.

Everything is going smoothly. There is just one more month until the “Great Game” change over. Over 80% of the people who received invitations have made reservations. All of the facilities have been finished and I have even expanded everything. I am about 75% done with converting my entire set of properties to magic power. The going green movement is a great cover for this. I have installed solar panels everywhere and have just not bothered to mention that they are not hooked up and instead I am powering everything on magic gems.
Transportation was giving me one of the biggest problems. I have prepared numerous low tech alternatives, horses, carriages, etc., but knowing that I can use magic power to run technology has made me want more. I have finally fixed that issue. My kingdom will run on a combination of magic/electric vehicles and steam power. Most chemical reactions will continue to work on a small scale but complex machinery using them will be out. I have read enough books to know that while you can still use oil to burn things and set stuff on fire, using it to power technology never works.
The help screen even told me that electrical storage in normal batteries will no longer work. Without batteries a lot of technology is going to fail. Batteries are in everything in today’s society. This was the first thing I worked on. With enchanting I am able to store lightning/electricity inside gems and have them work as a battery. Same basic concept, I just had to apply a magical solution to the problem. I am changing batteries out all over my kingdom and anyone who notices or asks is just told it is a new proprietary technology that is being tested out to usher in a new green revolution. Once they hear that they just ignore it.
This means that my kingdom will be one of the few after the Great Game change over where things like lights and vehicles will still work. This alone will attract people to join my kingdom. This will be both good and bad. Good because it will let us expand, but bad because it will make us a target. I have even prepared a huge array of the largest diamonds and topaz I have to serve as a central power source for the entire kingdom.
I plan on creating smaller but similar arrays around the kingdom as needed for expansion. The current array could probably power 20,000 homes in today’s society. It took a week to set up underground. It took me almost another week just to charge it with mana. Now it is self-sustaining and I do not have to worry about it. If we ever start to overdraw its power we can recharge it manually or just create new arrays and hook them into the main array. However, with time constraints I just made the single large array so I could work on and finish some of the other projects. Once the changeover happens I should have other that can help me with the magic and construction, but as for right now it is just me and I have limited time.
