《Conquest Online》Foresight

Even though he felt fatigue inside the game, for stage 2 warriors, 4 hours in game sleep were enough to freshen up .
Jamie had reached a higher stage warrior in his past life and he could stay up to a month without sleeping ( if he forced himself ) .
Rumour has it that if someone reached peak 9th stage , he could even move mountains with bare hands and live for a thousand years , but that was just a rumour since it could take hundreds of years before someone reached that level.
Without wasting any time he went to check out the 5 newly spawned human villagers , but there was no blacksmith this time either .
3 of them were D quality farmers and he had the other two change professions into Heavy Spearmen since they were C quality.
“ Why are there 5 people spawned today lord? Did something happen ? “
He greeted Eveline who would wake up this early everyday to work for the village.
“ Since we defeated the lizardmen we were awarded with a bonus , the village order will spawn 5 villagers daily for a week “
After discussing a few things with her and telling her to organise a meeting once everybody was up, he went to check out the Blue Scale village .
“ Your arrival honours us Lord “
The newly appointed lizardman chief paid his respect and so did the other 3 lizardman ( 2 more had spawned today )
“ Have they changed their professions yet? “
“ We wouldn’t dare without consulting you”
Since he had told them last night not to, he felt pleased that they listened to him .
Every village had 2 profession gates available only to the ones that spawn there , Kraken village had ‘ Kraken Soldier’ and ‘ Heavy Spearmen ‘ .
While the Blue Scale Village had
“ Water Mage “ and “ Lizardman Warrior “, both were C class profession gates .

“ From now on , every C+ or higher villager shall change profession to Water Mage, the ones lower in quality shall become lizardman warriors “
The chieftain nodded his head in approval and the other 3 entered the profession gate to become lizardman warriors .
“ So it gives you scale armour and iron tridents “
After thinking for a bit he added
“ I’ll pass by later to give you guys aura skill manuals, if you learn how to channel your aura you might learn some basic trident skills “
Lizardman warriors would be his attack force with heavy spearmen as the frontline , all he now needed were archers and cavalry... but where the hell was he gonna find horses in an island ?
His only choice would be ‘ Wolfback Plain Orcs’ or ‘ Goblin Riders ‘ , and for that he needed to check out the B quality map that he was awarded .
“ You wanted a meeting this early in the morning, seems like something got you excited this early “
“ Don’t speak to the lord as if he is your friend, besides I doubt he understands ‘DUMB’ “
As per usual, Eve and Ralph were at it again .
“ If you continue to fight like this mark my words one day you will fall in love “
“ No way , lord why would I love this disgusting....%###%% “
Seeing that they finally stopped he ignored their awkwardness and took out the map from his inventory.
“ What is your current location “
The system robotic voice asked
“ Kraken village, Juggernaut Island “
The map released a digital hologram that showed their current location .
“ Wow what is this “
Even though they didn’t want to express their surprise as to not look as dumbfounded as Ralph, they were also shocked and wanted answers.
“ This my friends, is a Map . This shows all of our current location and neighbouring territories. Do you see this small island? This is where we are currently at “

He ‘ touched’ the hologram map and zoomed in to Juggernaut island .
Unlike an A or S quality map that would show monsters numbers and treasure , a B quality one would only show their location. Still, knowing what lies around you was better than blindly falling into ambushes and traps .
“ What are all these red dots lord ? “
“ Potential enemies, well not even potential ones . They’re all our enemies “
Pompei’s teeth almost fell, he was quite the coward .
“ The red dots in the sea are pirates, they go from island to island and raid goods from all sorts of tribes and villages.
You see those red dots there ,they are Dark Nagas . Body of serpent with human limbs and hands. They are naturally born and bred assassins “
One by one he continued to explain what sort of enemies they would be facing in the future, and soon they all understood how much of an advantage having a map was .
“ In this island alone, there are 2 advanced human villages , 5 orc villages and 12 bandit fortresses. Compared to them we are currently nothing “
He didn’t count the goblin villages and wild beast dens since they were pretty weak and would soon get trampled by either village ( his included ) .
“ Do you intend to conquer all of these lord ? “ Ralph was already excited
“ Do you think we can conquer them with our 14 men ? We can’t even get past their gates, dont get overexcited like that “
There was still work to be done, they were yet to build the buildings required for village upgrade. Xp wasn’t enough, certain other conditions like buildings and population needed to be met .
“ First of all we need to supply the lizardmen with aura skill manuals, how are the preparations going Pompei ? “
“ We are constantly writing more copies, with the two lovely ladies aiding me on this task I have around 10 manuals ready”
“ We can’t have Eveline and Eve be overworked , tomorrow take 2 of the villagers that will spawn and make them your assistants/ disciples “
“ We have also researched taming skills and we have around 5 copies already , but we are yet to know the reason why “
He explained to him that they shall tame wild animals like the bears that they already captured , and have them used like carriage horses . That way fishermen wont have to walk and risk being attacked by wild animals on their way to the lake .
He couldn’t spare any of his men so he had to arrange this for their protection.
No animal would cross the path of a bear!
“ We should attack this small goblin village and use the goblins that will spawn as miners , I truly hope that one of this days we will get a blacksmith to make use of the ore we will be mining “
He went through some other things with them regarding their future , all their questions were answered seeing as their lord knew almost everything ( surprisingly)
“ Except for building carriages, they will also be building small fishing boats.
Also have them take a look at the fountain on the Blue Scales village , maybe they can re build it bring in a water supply “
Everyone was excited hearing about all these changes that were going to take place, except from Ralph whose swords were going to be used to cut wood for the three craftsmen brothers .
“ I just want to slash people? Or things, but not trees ? NOT TREEEES “
As per usual, his dramatic reaction remained a monologue ( nobody bothered enough to care )

Points of Light - An Oral History of the Collapse
Humanity endures. The phrase is not only an informal slogan of the reformed United Nations, but a rallying cry the world over. Even in the face of extermination, we struggled, we fought, and we endured. But just how close did we actually come? In our darkest hour, how many steps separated our species from oblivion? And are we even safe now? Were the mistakes made by earlier generations really so obvious? Or are they only so blatent when we look back with the advantage of hindsight? If so, what horrors might be staring us in the face even now that no one has the foresight to prevent? Drawn from thousands of interviews, as well as uncorrupted contemporary recordings and source documentation dating back to the early 2000s; Points of Light is a definative look at the last half century of upheaval, prosperity and carnage. It tells the tale of what happened, how it happened, who was responsible and most importantly, what we might be able to do to prevent it from happening again. This is a rewrite of a previously started fiction under a pen-name. Chapters will be updated every two days at 6:00 EST.

The Adventures of Rat Damon
12/20/2021: we're back to work! Rat Damon reflects on his life of adventuring, both before and after meeting Jack Jensen of earth. He recounts many of his experiences, both happy and sad. He regales you with the tales of power found and love lost. This is a side-adventure based on our The Other Guys series. Rat Damon makes an appearance in Heroes of Last Resort but is much more than a simple rat. What I will post here is going to be a lot rougher than Heroes as I am writing and posting as I go along, so my apologies go out to you in advance! However, I will revise as needed as we go along. As writing isn't my full-time gig, the posting of new material here will likely be a bit irregular and as far as what length this book will be, it remains to be seen. This was originally envisioned to be a 30-40k word novella but one never knows where the story will take me. Do not fret, book 2 in the series is well on its way, in fact much farther along than this novel(la?). We will see where Rat Damon takes, I guess! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this as much as I had writing it.
