《Joe in medieval fantasy world》V2 - Chapter 4 : Progression

Everyone was sleeping but not me, Okay, I am half-sleeping, I cannot sleep where two beauties at my sides. After the bath, the beauties are tired from playing so I carry both of them, princess carry one by one in this room. Ah, this room is created by me since there are no beds here, so I make three comfy beds, one for the crazy head priestess, one for the twins and one for us, at first I plan to make five but the girls insisted to sleep with me. Are they still in competition?
But aside from the fragrance and bounciness around me, my [Air Sense] detects a speeding unmanned aircraft, through using my [Air Medium] and [Identify], I identified the flying object that approaches here. It is a magic tool use for surveillance and have some weapons in it. This is one of the reasons that I am still awake, even the flying object or it is called “Bird Drone” travels in 20 km/hour, it will take some time before reaching here. So I get up on my bed, regretting to leave the two beauties.
Queen Eva: “Where are you going?”
Ragoniad:“Anything wrong?”
Joel: ”Need to dump something”
Then they go back to their sleep, they are really battle harden maidens, even they are sleeping, their state of mind is still in alert mode. Maybe this is how people live in this dangerous era, still in alert even in their sleep. I use [Blend Presence] and [Air Dash], dashing towards the ‘Bird drone’, they think that they can stealthily survey this place, unfortunately; they need to surpass a very big obstacle, which is me. I was appointed as a newly king in this place, but the authority and powers are still in the authority of the Queen, considering this is a matriarchal society but it’s not a problem for me. As long as I have access to this territory I can put some rules you know, don’t forget that I am an Admin here. The rules are already place in this territory which was the same in my Novasphere’s rules.
Mhhhm, I have detected three individuals, using my previous skills, I identify them as sort of escort to that drone. Why the hell they need to escort a surveillance drone? Whatever their plan is, let’s figure it out. I am now 500 km away from the girls. Let put up some show.
As soon as I drew closer to the drone like 10 meters away from me, I use [Spell Disruptor] to magic jammed it, making it unable to fly and drop to the ground. Ow, it reminds me of EMP grenade in modern FPS games back then. The three figures stop their tracks and entered in cautious mode. Two are men while one is a woman, the two men are Batia Scout Knights Class and the girl is a Thief Class, this combination only use for stealth operations. About their weapons and armor they are shockingly made of adamantium, wow, how the hell did they get that, ah right their levels are 85, 89 and 83 respectively.
Then the show began, a ghost suddenly appeared before them. The ghost is like Sadaku or a white lady where it wear a bloody and dirty white dress with long hair covering mostly of its face. The three are shock, so shock because of my surprise gift to them, the two tough looking guys piss on their precious armor under their pants. Hahahaha that will be smelly, piss smell. While the girl only shouts, “KYAAA!!!” running away, oh my it seems I overdo it. Using [Force Magic], I cancel the gravity around her and she floats in the air. Man, I can’t believe that my skills plus knowledge was so good for pranks. Hahahaha

When the girl realizes that she floats, she was screaming in louder voice while trying to escape but how the hell will you escape if you are floating in the air? Oh, she started to use a skill but it never works because I cast [Spell Disruptor] around them so her effort is useless. To their surprise, the knights started to cry out loud and screaming “KYAAA!!! MAMA!!!”. Oy, are you really knights? Not gays right?
Okay enough about this prank. I started to talk, of course in ghostly tone.
“Why..you..here?” [eerie ghost tone]
Oh, it talks like a zombie but anyway let’s practice this trick if I have time.
Thief: “It talk..it talk…KYAAA!! NO!!”
Knights: “KYAA!!!, it talks!!” while hugging each other.
Hah, it seems I have a hard time in dealing these three idiots. The knights are like two pitiful puppies while the woman is a pitiful cat. I can make them talk with my [Neuro-Control] skill but this time, I have decided to have more fun.
“I..will..DEVOUR!! your SOUL!!! So.. TALK!!” [eerie ghost tone]
“Sorry!! please spare us, we are from Batia Empire, the emperor tasks us to investigate the situation in Mulier’s Queendom since there are no soldiers came back or any news about their situation so-”
“What..are..your..names? Don’t ..tell..lie..cause I devour.soul..of..lying people..” [eerie ghost tone]
“Hi!!!I am Michael, he is Jord and she is Ann”
Oy, what’s with those names? Michael, Jord and Ann, if you combine there three names, you can come up with the name of legendary basketball player. Are they tricking me? But it seems they tell the truth.
“Then…why....Emperor..want..Queendom” [eerie ghost tone]
“Yes, yes, he wants a certain metal that can be found in there, but it is just a myth.”
“and..that..is?” [eerie ghost tone]
“He wants ‘Evanium’ a myth metal which can be found only in matriarchal societies because our ‘adamantium mine’ is running low, people starts to worry and may cause future troubles”
They want ‘Evanium’ as a sort of alternative to their Adamantium metals, well it’s not a myth though, actually it resides below the Queen’s home and only I knows about it. I will use it later to build something, like a mansion or maybe a palace? But still, the Batia Empire is running low in its metal resources which was normally rare but for them it’s a common metal. Maybe that’s one of their reasons why the Empire able to crush its surrounding neighbors.
I wonder if Adamantium came from ‘Adam’ and Evanium from ‘Eva’? But they are equal in most properties but Evanium is more malleable and easy to forge which has equal strength as Adamantium.
“Then..tell..Emperor…that…Queendom..is ravage…by..dragons…here…evidence” [eerie ghost tone]
The ghost throws a burned gauntlet, it is a gauntlet only worn by Mulier people, of course, and it’s a replica. Not just one but ten of burned replica gauntlets. When they look at it, they have confirmed through their [Analysis] skills, huge amount of sweats coming from their foreheads when they saw the burned things plus the burned Batia Kingdom’s weapons and armors. After seeing it and having a definitive proofs, they come up a solid conclusion and left the scene in a hurry.
Well even they are so scared seeing my ‘ghost prank ‘, their brains are still running to think what happens to the battle earlier and left the scene hurriedly after I state that ‘God’s Curse runs rampant here.’ Are they that scared of God’s Curse? Well, whatever at least it buys huge amount of time to advance my plans.

-------------------------------------
When the morning comes and after eating our breakfast, of course with lovey dovey with my two beautiful girls, I taught Queen Eva about advance and proper country management and the way to unlock their AOE Amayan skill. I didn’t teach her about economics, military, government types and administration manually or one by one as it takes years for her to understand and complete, so I use skill books.
As a responsible future partner, I encourage her to use skill books in order for her to instantly learn and understand about country management and unlocking their race’s AOE skill. After learning all the skill books that I personally made, her face becomes brighten and somewhat gives an aura of intellect or smart person, she’s like an enlighten one. Then she started giving out orders and teaches some talented people, the whole Queendom starts getting busy on that day.
Speaking of skill books, normally no one can make a ‘skill book’, if we view it normally, but since I have [World Knowledge] plus [Earth Knowledge], I can create one and the process is quite different than a skill book in this world. Well, my skill books which I personally developed are not really that simple because I add or mix helpful topics and ideas which can be found in Earth. To be precise I mix it with some concepts through my [Earth Knowledge]. Skill books here uses magic to transfer a fix amount of knowledge to the user but my skill books that I made uses upload and download concept which I can alter the amount of knowledge.
Like a computer, I upload a certain amount of knowledge then I give it to the user which uses download concept to transfer the knowledge to his/her brain. Plus my skill books will not vanish after use, it’s not consumable, meaning one book can cater multiple users and I added some safety precautions and security to avoid theft and loss. Since I am king here, I added a ‘Fast Learner’ rule using my Admin rights on this territory which makes all the citizens here easily understand complex knowledge. Hehehe I plan this all along you know, it saves me time, effort and money to advance my plans. Should I change the name of ‘skill book’ to ‘knowledge book’? I have a feeling to change it.
Queen Eva: “Oh my, oh my so many information flowing in my mind and I can understand all of them”
Ragoniad: “Yeah, I have that feeling before, it’s quite a pleasant feeling”
Ah, I forget that my skill book doesn’t force its way to the brain unlike this world’s skill book which have side effects of headache, nausea or dizziness which was mostly occurred to users after using it. The girls are happily chatting about their experiences, as for me, I cannot actually feel what it’s like because I have already the [World Knowledge] and [Earth Knowledge].
The two adorable little sisters plus the crazy head priestess are busy in doing ‘selfie’ using my phone. The crazy head priestess emotionless or expressionless face turned into a cute smiling woman, if she usually does this kind of smile, she will attract men and women, she was actually beautiful when she smiles. But I didn’t found her as love interest cause I know that she is crazy. For now she was caught off guard because of her curiosity about my phone’s camera’s performance which seems out of this world. Let’s remain that curiosity of hers for a while and I hope the natives will not worship my phone as a god. Just like in the ‘God’s must be crazy’ movie where the natives worships the falling cola bottle.
Ragoniad was following me because there is an upcoming dragon’s chiefs meeting and it includes me. Aside from that, the chiefs want to make my Nova Grand Mansion as their meeting place, although it just not officially decided yet but the Earthos and Thuveg chiefs and their wives or partners persists that the location must be my ‘mansion’.
I ask Ragoniad, as how the hell it goes down like that. She explains that when the two clans visited the Kilate clan chief for meeting, they saw my mansion and they stare at it for almost an entire day together with their wives, with drools and mesmerized faces. It seems that they like to build a mansion just like mine but that talk will probably be on the topic next month. To sum it up, the meeting is one month and popularly voted that my grand mansion is the location and talks about the results of the previous meeting, the most likely ‘I want that kind of mansion too’ talks and the last one, is that they capture two Brovo’s clones’ but it seems it becomes lifeless after Brovo’s execution and a thorough talk on how to dealt with it. Okay dragon meeting mentally noted.
Are they still staring and admiring my mansion, until now?
--------------
For the past 3 days, I help and teach people about agriculture and cloth sewing because most of them just pick fruits and hunt animals as their source of food and I can see the jiggling of women’s chest. I didn’t leave this Queendom yet because I may bring a shame to the Queen when the King suddenly vanishes after their blood contract, I don’t mind helping these natives to reach Industrial Age step by step. To secure this country’s progress I help the Queen and make our plans but mostly it’s her ideas. I am very surprise by my Queen’s Eva intelligence and guts; her ideas are a mix of traditional and modern concepts plus magic. I only smile and I felt proud about her, if she was living in modern world, I bet she has a good career like manager, CEO or even a President. Let’s start also the tailor of proper clothes for women, but I have slight regret in not seeing those jiggling and juggling chests of theirs.
In the agenda, is first agriculture, planting takes time but when magic comes in, the impossible becomes possible, we planted various crops and edible plants. During those past 3 days, the crops like rice, corn, wheat, and sugar is introduced. Due to my [Chemical Magic] and [Knowledge] skills, it only takes one minute to make a seedling grow into a full grown ready to harvest crop. The onlookers and as well as the students, the natives, makes a big gigantic eyes seeing a seed becomes a plant. ‘As expected of a King’, ‘the King is so awesome’, ‘it’s a MIRACLE!’, are the words I heard after that experiment, I didn’t mind them and hope that they learn something. But to make sure that they learn something, I use my skill books to transfer farming knowledge including techniques from [Earth Knowledge] and some magic that can boost its growth from my [World Knowledge].
As expected, they cannot do the one-minute growth of mine, some just grow to a young seedling in just one day while the talented one makes a ready to harvest plant in just 3 days but was exhausted due to nonstop supplying of mana. Well, I didn’t add [Chemical Magic] in my skill book as to prevent accidents and troubles in the future.
You know, manipulating a living thing to an atomic level or in DNA level, have huge risks and responsibilities once it fails. I am afraid that they might create plant eating monsters so instead of [Chemical Magic] to manipulate the DNA, I prefer plant related magic as it was safe and for plants only. They are all somewhat sad because they can’t do what I did before but they are happy when I said to them that it’s okay, you need time to practice, the most important thing now is to harvest huge amount of crops every week. I also told them not to overdo it as the Queendom will be flooded by full grown ready to harvest crops.
The talented person named Stema approaches me asking to teach her about growing plants within a minute but I decline her because of deadly risks and I make a ‘race specific only’ skills as an excuse, then she gives up and make a sad face. Sigh, let’s not make a girl to cry. So I tell her that planting is not about ‘time’, it’s about the ‘plant’, its growing period and the beauty of it. Well, I tell her that to cheer her up but I was surprised that after my impromptu speech, she makes a shining and sparkling eyes. Those eyes are the eyes finding a determination, eyes that has found her ambition then she runs around while leading a handful of natives. Maybe she has a grand plan? I hope she will not overdo it.
Returning back to home, I mean the Queen’s house, well the house now becomes a grand palace. Of course I did it with my powers and my powerful architectural designs, when you see the palace, you will get a feeling that this one not belongs on this world but at the same time it belongs here. Well I mix modern and middle age styles and designs using the Evanium underneath. The result is this grand palace, it can house 40,000 people, larger than my mansion and mostly it houses Queens’ servants.
Before, their tradition has only the Queen and the head priestess and priestesses as officials and the remaining citizens are just commoners. But due to the knowledge that enlighten her, she make several departments and all of the leaders or natives involved become her servants. Mhhm, this is a good and a nice start. You see, she applies monarchy and at the same time uses democracy methods to prevent power corruption and to make it sure no corruption, she uses the blood contract to make her servants honest as possible but I think there’s no need for that as these people are loyal and honest to their Queen unlike those normal humans. They have undying loyalty, as I observe them.
First she assigns, military, agriculture, construction and education departments as a start, she will later add departments with complex nature like research and transportation in the near future, maybe next year. I know this because she always consults me with her plans. Like always, I am in-charge first in those departments then use skill books to teach the natives and transfer that position on the talented or potential ones. All of it only takes a week, well I just use the most convenient and faster way you know. About the AOE skill, several people awakens it and they start practicing it, mostly under military department.
Ragoniad and her sisters are still around sightseeing to the lowly, I mean humans with subrace as Amayans that greatly change their close to stone age atmosphere into middle age one then maybe in the near future, a modern age one, I can’t wait to see that. Well to normal people it’s quite frightening the speed of their progress but to me who always experience things far greater than this, will just only thought that, ‘As expected’. Well this country will become prosperous without any need for trade for the time being and I hope it will continue. On my last day of the Queendom because I need to visit a certain place, the people have prepared foods and drinks just like a celebration or a fiesta. We eat, they sing and dance and laugh, seeing the recent developments, the people needs some kind of rest and some fun.
Ragoniad: “We have lots of fun here. Well then we need to go..and honey please be careful”
‘Wow!’ ‘Dragons’ The people or the natives is once again astonished when the three Kilate girls transform into their dragon forms and flew away. The Queen have teary eyes during that farewell, it seems she will greatly missed them.
Joel: “Then I need to go also”
Queen Eva: “Thank for everything..[sob] [sob]..please come back immediately”
Joel: “Don’t cry baby, I will always visit my beautiful Queen..Well then bye”
‘Ohhh!’ ‘He vanish!!!’ The people or the natives are once again surprised for the second time when I use my [Blend Presence] and [Air Dash] towards my real destination. I hope they will reach industrial age at the end of this month. Hahaha. That would be great.
I traverse towards the west in more or less 20 minutes, I have gotten too far away from the Queendom, there are no trees or forest around but only sands or shall we say I found myself in a big desert. There are many dangerous creatures around like worms which suddenly emerge itself from below to eat and surprise its victims and many more. The desert is one of the harshest environments just like in Earth. Top problems are water, temperature and safety. Food here is scarce plus the heat that goes beyond 40 degree Celsius, making this place very harsh and uncomfortable to live with. It’s not safe here aside that it’s difficult to hide, there are sandstorms, sand dunes and heavy rain to watch out and of course, the hungry predators that lurks around waiting patiently for their preys.
That is a problem for normal people but not for me, having a modified body. But countries living in or near Middle East in Earth are so filthy rich having Ferrari cars and nice houses, I wonder if I can purchase this land for oil business? Hehehe, I am already filthy rich because of Novasphere but let’s grab every opportunity that comes. I am not being greedy though, I will share my blessings to deserving and good people and I just want to feel having oil business and monopolize it. Well let’s check if I can purchase this one.
Shahara Desert
Purchase requirements:
1. 500 black gold
2. Defeat ‘Sand Mobster’ or
3. Buy its territory for 300 white gold
Since I am an admin, I can easily purchase lands which normal people cannot do and need a huge number of steps to purchase lands officially. White gold and black gold have more monetary value than gold, the rates are 100 gold = 1 white gold and 1,000 gold =1 black gold. But I didn't really care about that. So these are the requirements, money here is no problem for me but when I see the 2nd and 3rd option I am confuse, if I will purchase this land using violence or promoting peace, I mean using ‘money’. Mhmm, let’s check this ‘Sand Mobster’ first, which was 40 km south of my position. Using [Air Medium], [Air Sense] and [Identify] skills, I locate and identify my target.
Sand Mobster
Level: 450
Oddity: Badass
Skills
-Sand Storms [master level]
-Sand Dunes [master level]
-Summon Minion [master level]
-Sand is my land [master level]
Whew, a badass, level 450 which was more or equal to my current strength as level 4200. Don’t forget that this monster is not a normal or abnormal one, this is a badass, more terrifying than an abnormal.
Skills that so annoying and deadly at the same time, [sand storms], [sand dunes] and [summon minion]. But the last skill [Sand is my Land] gives me a slight headache of all, it is like a terrain advantage skill, which means aside from its attacks getting stronger, it makes that monster almost invincible or indestructible because as long as it stands in a sand environment, it can hide and regenerate itself. Like every damage you made, it can easily repair or regen itself. Even its level 450 it has strength that slightly surpass mine, that’s how deadly the ‘Badass’ monsters are.
“Badass, here I come”

Can he really bring his world back to its old glory? —————————— I have never written a story before in my life and now I'm doing so in a language I don't natively speak.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
