《Just Another Gacha System In Another World》Chapter 4: If There is first then there will be second and third
Advertisement
Village hall successfully upgraded, control area doubled, new order Call To Arms is unlocked. Blacksmith successfully built, now the player can order weapons. Fence successfully upgraded to Fortified Fence. Requirements met, the village successfully became Fortified Village. The inventory unlocked.
Following the system's sound, Anton saw a cottage with furnace and small anvil appearing beside his villager's cottages, his village hall updated in size and look while the weak fence around his village replaced with a legit fence made of sturdy logs.
"Good."
After nodding his head, Anton went back to the village hall to open his inventory. Inside the room opening the inventory, he noticed there is nothing except treasure chest along with two hero summoning tickets.
"At least I got something."
Anton was quite happy, because he was quite worried about the food problem but now thanks to is resource chest he doesn't have to worry about that problem quite while. The medium resource chest he has now contained 2500 mana stones and 5000 stone, steel, wood, food, leather which is enough to build quite strong defense force, enough left over to upgrade his fortified village to medium fortified village.
"Only thing right now, I missing is manpower."
The army will not appear from thin air when he pays the price. He must train his people in barracks and turn them into soldiers, but right now he only has 20 people, which is he can only turn 8 or 10 to soldiers any more will affect his economy and happiness of his people.
"That is for the future thing."
Said Anton leaves the village hall and walked towards his storage then pressed the 'open' button on the medium chest. Followed by bright light, he saw storage filled brim with each resource separated cleanly into each category.

After giving instructions to build an apothecary, training ground and Tailor workshop, 15 Bows, 5 Spears, Anton went to his bed. He knows the remaining time will not enough to upgrade his buildings as the lowest one is required one day.
In his bed, Anton thought of his home on earth. What will happen to his family when they know about his death. Will his rude sisters will cry? Will his aunt finally learn something knowing he is now gone? What about his poor parents? Anton really wished his poor father's heart is alright and didn't want to mother to cry.
If there is a way he wished to send a message to his family that, he is safe and sound before its too late.
"With this button, I can send messages. Heh as if..... wait ?"
While playing with the system, Anton noticed a small tab with a picture of a bell blinking like a road sign. Pressing the button appeared a list of names people he knows. Overcome with joy Anton pressed the name of his father to send a message.
Sending a message through a dimension will cost 500 mana stone.
"What, fucking rip off!"
Anton cursed the system's rip off but his fingers didn't stop tapping message. Eventually, he finished sending a message to his family and closed his eyes with peace of mind. He may be lost all 2500 mana stones but to him, it was worth it.
When morning sun hits his head Anton is woken up with renewed energy. Leaving his hall he saw twenty people now working on taking resources.
"Good morning Lord, as you requested we finished making 8 Bows and 4 Spears you requested."
A tall man with a bright red face greeted Anton and presented finished weapons.
"Good."

Said Anton while checking finished products. Both bow and spear look sleek and clean without any problem.
"Finish it before evening."
"Yes."
Leaving the blacksmith, Anton went to tailor and ordered 20 simple armor. Adding five more people for each production tailor could easily able to produce five armor in about an hour.
When he saw the finished armor he recognized simple armor they calling was quite similar to gambeson in both look and texture it was just a very thick jacket made of cloth and wool stacked on top of each other.
"Now, how do I spend this time efficiently ?"
With some thought, Anton decided to spend time in the training ground. As level one training ground looked more like child playground as it only had few practice targets along with dummies made of hay.
Yesterday even after beating twenty-five Lost ones, Anton still couldn't improve his form let alone his habit of closing his eyes when he saw something incoming or while attacking. But least from he leveled up twice made him learning the other two skills.
Brawler lv1 Coating user's fist and leg with mana doubling its damage for the next 4 attacks. During the active time, the user's speed towards enemy will be doubled. Grit lv1(Passive) With each attack received during combat user's resistance, damage and healing will increase by 5%. This effect will stack 5 times. The effect will lose its effect when the host leaves combat for 10 sec.
Both of those skills was something to help him to fight against one one one while having no help against a horde of enemies will arrive a few hours later.
After shaking his hand to get rid of his fear Anton began to punch the hay dummy to get more courage as he knows if he fails on this wave he can say a real goodbye to everything.
Just imagining fight against many opponents at once Anton felt fear and thought of leaving his village then rebuild the second time appeared in his head but he immediately denied it as he knows if he does it the first time then he will do it second and third stuck in an endless loop. That was human nature.
*Thump!*
With a loud sound, Anton's fist created a small hole in the dummy with this single punch he decided to erase all of his doubt and fear.

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.

Once an elven teenager, she is an immortal sorcerer ascended from the invocation of dark magics from another era, by the blessing of gods long dead to the world. She is now, like many before her, a Vizier of the Eye in service to her enigmatic (and sometimes very whimsical) mistress, Nhaka Mezalune. It is the duty of a Vizier of the Eye to do battle against the enemies of the Empire, be they humans, elves, or eldritch horrors far beyond even the darkest fathoms of the gods. That by her hand, the world of Melodia and the Empire of Arcadia might endure.
