《Rise of Magical Empire》Chapter 2: Evolutionary Path, Magical Empire?
Advertisement
As I heard those words I saw the new window that appeared before me describing what's happening
[Through thousands of years on this continent existed hundreds of kingdoms and empires, after being reborn in the world of Azriel your role is to create a monarchy which will regain supreme over any existing or pre-existing kingdoms and empires, 'Empire System' is there guide you through hardships which you will experience.]
My mind exploded yet again, me? I never believed opportunity like this will present itself before me, since birth I was an outcast, even my parent abandoned me and I became an orphan, living in a cruel world, being beaten over and over again, but that didn't hurt as much as I couldn't ask anyone for help and didn't have anyone to rely on.
Before I could continue with frying my brain with so much information which I should process, the system continued talking.
[If you wish to gain more information regarding the system proceed with creating monarchy]
'And how am I supposed to do that?' I asked no one, but surprisingly enough I got the answer
Ding!
[To proceed find the clear area, when you find a place to your liking say 'Select area']
Once again deciding that there's no need to wrack my brain over why is this happening I decided to go with the flow, I inspected my surrounding and decided to set on a place that is near the river, I need a source of food and water, I thought that river is a good place after all water is needed for far more things like agriculture and such.
When I found the good area I said aloud "Select area!"
[Do you wish to set this area as starting position?]
I saw the green area on the ground that encompassed part of river and ground, I was surprised how big the area is, it was like a small football stadion in a circular shape.

After confirming with the system in the middle of the green area suddenly appeared white block.
When I started moving towards it, the sea of green windows appeared
[Congratulations Host for starting with building your monarchy]
[Unlocked 'Status' Tab ]
[Unlocked 'Nobility' Tab ]
[Unlocked 'Military' Tab]
[Unlocked 'Resource management' tab]
[Unlocked 'Education' Tab]
[Reward for starting with stage zero monarchy, calculating]
[Rewarding Host with 'Starter Pack']
[Unlocked 'Inventory']
[Unlocked 'Skills' tab]
After taking approximately half of an hour to process all info and sort it out, I sighed and said 'Status'
[Name: None (If you wish to select
new name press 'Name' option)
Stage: 0
Level: 1 (Reach level 5 to improve stage
Citizens: 0
Evolutionary path: None (If you
wish to select new evolutionary
select 'Evolutionary path' option)
Number of building': 0]
After seeing all of the option's Gung Sook-Joo selected the evolutionary path, the first thing he wanted to do was select a path in which his monarchy would exceed, this is one of the most important decisions and I most likely won't be able to change it in later stages of development.
[ Option 1: Military Empire
Option 2: Politic Empire
Option 3: Merchant Empire
Option 4: Animal Empire
Option 5: Botany Realm
Option 6: Magic Empire ]
'Ugh what is this?' more importantly, magic?! this world possess magic? Gung Sook-Joo got lost in his thoughts about what he would look like hero saving damsel in distress or demon lord conquering the world, but after a brief pause, he sighed and dismissed thoughts as he thought it to be to cliche, after all, he is emperor why bother to be the hero.
'Is there an option to check information's about the evolutionary path?', he could guess what is what but hoped for more information
[To see information regarding evolutionary path just select an option.]

After this Gung Sook-Joo pressed on the first option that presented itself as 'Military Empire'
[Evolutionary path: Military Empire
Military Empire focus on their soldiers and their combat power, they strive to improve ways of combat, and many things related to this, their soldiers are highly respected, in Military Empire being high ranked solider is an honour.
Benefits:
-25% faster and better training
- Book 'basic military exercises', 'way of the sword: basic', 'way of the spear: basic', 'way of weapon: basic'
'Hmm so if I choose a specific kingdom I get specific benefits associated with one' Military kingdom seem like a solid evolutionary path, but I don't see a point in focusing on it specifically, I don't feel like there will be much of wars I have to focus on.
After checking other options there was just last one left, each option seemed fair, and gave decent benefits, he was surprised that in this world even plants can evolve and gain intelligence on pair with humans, he stopped on last option 'Magic Empire' he was nervous first time checking something regarding magic, and then he clicked to see information regarding this, what he saw was exciting but equally dangerous as well

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.
