After I am done processing everything that has happened to me thus far,which took about 10 minutes, I decide to go downstairs and discuss my idea to start making money and also to hear any suggestions he may have that could be helpful as well. Once I arrive down stairs I am greeted by Lano at the bottom and then I say

"Alright, now I think it's time we talk about how we are going to get money." Lano nods and says "Very well my lord, please tell me what your plan is first before I give my suggestions." I nod and then respond "Then, allow me to explain my idea." I cough somehow and then begin to explain my plan that I have thought of.

"Put simply, we shall gain the money from monsters." Lano's eyes widen a bit and then he pushes up his glasses stylishly before saying "Oh, that sounds interesting, how will you do that?" I continue my explanation once Lano finishes his sentence "I have the ability to communicate with monsters, which means, I can negotiate deals with monsters living on our land and get them to pay small taxes."

I pause for a moment before continuing "Also, since I can communicate with them I will also be able to befriend them and MAKE them submit to us if they aren't willing to even give us a chance, I am interested in learning some skills of monsters as well so I might gain some in the process, so it would basically be a double win for us."

I remembered what the note on that blank book in the dungeon said, it seems like I am already getting closer and closer to being able to do create new spells supposedly, as I only need 4 skills, though they have the be from different monsters, that might not be a big issue. Lano speaks up and says "Alright my lord, by the way I have been meaning to ask you something for a while now."

I say "Alright, what is it you wanted to ask me?" He then gives me an Ahem and pushes up his glasses stylishly before saying "Why do you look like that, you are very intelligent and don't seem to act how a skeleton would, plus since you are a natural demon lord, that means you should have been looking exactly like a human?"

I can see why he is a bit confused and curious as to why I look like this, and skeletons are never able to be this intelligent for some reason so that probably arouse some curiosity as well. I respond "Ah, sadly not even I know the entire reason as to why I look like this although I do remember when it happened and what may have caused it."

I pause for a moment before continuing "You see, I actually did look like a human, but one day when I was out adventuring with my three friends, I saw them die brutally right before my eyes, and at that moment I cried a shit ton and screamed as loud as I could, then my emotions began to fade leaving only that extreme sorrow and a pain in my heart."

I pause yet again before continuing my explanation "I then looked down and noticed that my skin was all of a sudden disappearing from my body slowly, once I avenged my friend's deaths the sorrow and pain disappeared and it was then that I realized I was now a full skeleton, I later also found out that I have improved in strength quite a bit."

Ah, I remember the moment I literally twisted that bandits arm so hard that it broke, if I kept twisting it may have even came clean off, good times, now there is one less scumbag who would even kill a child in the world. Lano speaks up "Ah it seems you have been through quite a rough time, but anyway, it seems you have a pretty good idea for income."

He pauses for a moment then continues "Although my suggestion is that eventually you find another source of income since that won't last us forever, but I think for now it should be fine so I won't say anything else about it." I respond "well I guess I'm going to go practice with a sword, you can go rest now if you want, I'm probably going to be in there all night as I have nothing else to do."

After I say goodbye to Lano I head to the training room, where I end up training all night just as I had said, it seems that the accuracy of my magic has improved,along with my strength just a bit. Once morning comes I am greeted by Kevik "Hello my lord, Lano told me that you are wanting to go communicate with the monsters that are living on this land am I correct?"

I say "Yeah that's right, I want to talk to them about them paying taxes to us and I also want to talk to some of them about something else as well that I cant really tell you about just yet." He then says "Alright then allow me to tell you which monsters currently reside in this land." I nod and say "Okay, go ahead and tell me."

He nods and then says "Alright, first allow me to tell you about the vampire tribe that lives on this land." He pauses for a moment then continues "There has been a vampire tribe that has lived here for quite some time within a cave system they modified to make it seem like a small village on the inside."

He pauses yet again then continues "The name of their tribe is the (Sunhailers) because their founder was a human man who was bit by a vampire and became one himself, eventually finding that cave system and making it their home, a few generations have passed and they're bloodline is pretty strong and near close to being on par with natural vampire's strength."

Ah, if I'm not mistaken the natural skill that all vampires have is the power of Blood Pact. Blood Pact is the ability to form a contract that is bound by the blood of the caster and the person who is agreeing on it via vampire blood magic. This makes the contract unbreakable and the caster can also put certain consequences that will occur if the person who agreed does attempt to break it.

I nod and then say "Alright, what are the next monsters that live on this land?" He says "The next monsters that live in this land is a small tribe of Specter Imps, they have been here for a few years and live in small shacks that they built just slightly into the forest to the north, they are relatively shy but will attack if they need to such as in situations they are in danger."

Spector Imps have the ability to see in the dark a bit and their vision in the light is also a bit better than normal creatures, they also have the ability to pass this skill down like most intelligent monsters do, but most monsters don't just go passing down their skills to complete strangers because they may use it against them.

There are also spells and skills similar to some of the things monsters do but they aren't exactly the same, some are even stronger than the skill that the monster has. I nod and say "Okay, tell me what the next group of monsters are." He then says "The last group of monsters that live in this land is a small tribe of Magiogres."

He pauses for a moment then continues "They have lived on this land for a few years, only a bit longer than the Spector Imps, and they live in a small walled off village that they have built themselves over the years, the name of their tribe is the (Huvourers) it stands for human devours because they were outcasted from their original village spot by humans and grew a grudge."

Magiogres have the ability to use strength enhancement magic that only they know how to pass down. Humans have potions that have a similar effect to this but no magic or skills that relate to it and potions can only get a person so far before the effects disappear. Magiogres are also as smart as humans and that's why they are able to speak their language so easily and act a lot them often.

I say "Is that all the monsters in this area?" He nods and then says "Yes my lord, we don't know of any other monsters that live in this area at the moment." I sigh because I was hoping for there to be at least one more group so I can gain a forth skill, but then I remembered something that I should have thought of in the first place.

Red Eyed Wolves have a skill that allows them to smell things more descriptively and notice how far away that smell is at will. I guess I will have to ask either visit the wolf brothers later, oh wait, now that I think about it they need a new place to live don't they. That cave isn't really a good home for them now since they are demihumans now and can get cold more easily and such.

Perhaps I can get someone to build some homes for them in my land so that they don't have to live in that cold cave any longer, but they can probably wait a little while longer I'm sure. For now, I need to go to the place which seems most important for me right now, I don't even have to think it over, because it is clear which monster tribe I need to see first.

That tribe is the vampires, their blood pact skill will be extremely handy in the future, with it I can probably gain many advantages over people or even enemies if I'm smart enough to force them into signing a contract for something. I say "Alright, We will go to visit the Sunhailers first because they seem like the most important people to talk to right now."

He then says "Alright, I shall prepare my equipment to leave right now my lord." Just as Kevik starts to walk away I stop him and say "No, you should stay here and protect Lucy and Will, I shall go with Lano, don't worry, I'm confident the vampires will be of no trouble, after all I have no blood, and they are pretty intelligent monsters so I should be able to work something out with them."

He then says "A-Are you sure my lord, they might be pretty strong in number." I say "Don't worry about it, everything is going to be fine, I just need you to stay here and protect Will and Lucy for now just in case." He sighs and then says "Very well my lord, I shall remain here and protect those two as you wish."

I say "Thank you, now I shall go tell Lano what I have decided on." After that I go to Lano's bedroom and knock on the door, a few seconds later he opens the door and says "Ah, hello my lord, what is it that you need?" I say "I need you to come with me to go see the Vampire tribe since you are pretty good at money with your help I should be able to settle on a fair tax that they agree on."

He then says "Ah, alright I shall accompany you, by the way my lord, what is the other reason you wish to speak to the monsters that live in this land?" I say "Ah, I suppose I should tell you since I probably cant keep it a secret from you for very long before you discover what it is anyway, alright I shall tell you what I planned on doing."

I pause for a moment and then continue "I plan on learning a skill from each of them in order to grow my strength even further, I have a feeling that I need to get stronger, even if I may seem pretty strong now, for some reason I feel that it's not enough and that I need more, I don't mean to be greedy, it's just something I have to do no matter what."

Lano nods as if he understands and then says "Alright then, that's a good enough explanation for me, now shall we head for the vampire tribe's cave system my lord?" Without hesitating I nod and say "Yeah, lets head out."
