《The Man Ruined by The Gods》Chapter 16: Starting a Town and The problems of kingdom building
Advertisement
When Xenados successfully evolved he was mobbed by everyone, and when everything were slowly calming down he was about to discuss about what to do next but then he was attacked by a question.
“How were you able to defeat the dragon?”
Xenados can’t lie, if there were really any excuses that he could use at this moment he would pay anyone as much as they wanted but he had no escape.
Just realized that I could do that… how? Magic formations are… are what? Where did you learn them? How did those swords move like that?! Are you really a three year old? What happened those three days?
In the end they spent the whole night asking questions and the next day due to his fatigue Xenados fell asleep.
“Do you really believe his words?”
“About being a world traveller?”
“Uhum”
“It doesn’t matter does it? He still my dear little Xenados no matter what!”
The conversation between a demoness and a dark elf went this was as they gazed affectionately at the six to seven year old kid sleeping on the demoness’ lap.
The elves all accepted what Xenados revealed to them but the problem was what is the reaction of Antonia. The elves feared that she would disown the child who is not fully her son but she surprisingly didn’t mind.
“Is there something wrong with his soul being that containing not only my son but also many other souls? It doesn’t matter, the fact is that right now you are my son right? You’ve gone through many lives but in this life you are my son and will be forever my son until you reincarnate!”
Those were the words she said to Xenados before the dhampir fell asleep, it’s not wrong to say that due to her words he was able to sleep soundly.
After taking a few hours to sleep Xenados woke up and everyone didn’t mind, the time he woke up it was already evening, so to make sure his biological clock stays the same he ate dinner then once again fell asleep.
Too much sleep is bad for the body but it’s good to have more than enough from time to time…
And with those thoughts he once again fell into the dimension of dreams.
The next day everyone woke up early as well as Xenados, the whole 12 people and 3 beast were seating in a circle around a small fire.
“So what do you all suggest we do?”
The first one to speak up was Xenados, he planned to get out of the forest and then think when they get there but this event cause him to be more cautious.
They have a legend class and a mythical class beast with them but their numbers are obviously too much for the beast to protect. With this in mind he wanted to know what the others are thinking.
And that is when the most enthusiastic of all the elves Ytha waved her hands calling out “me! Me! Me!”, like a little kid.
While letting out a sigh Xenados signalled Ytha to speak her piece. Standing up she started giving her suggestion.

“Uhem, okay I think it would be wise for us to start a village! Okay before you all stop listening listen first to what I have to say!”
(And with that Ytha started to discuss about her plans and what benefits there are for strating a village. And in her speech there are five main reason to start a village…)
A stable place to stay, where they could safely train and grow If they were to be attacked by beast they would be able to defend easily. Scouting will be done by one of the two powerful beast, since they could share their sight with Xenados scouting and finding out what’s beyond the forest would be easier. Having a place to call home is always better than being a wanderer. Since we have only one male we need to make a plan on who goes first!( Okay the last one was removed for reasons that made me uncomfortable)
(In the end everyone accepted the reasons and were continuously nodding their heads in agreement. Is it just me or did they accept it all after they heard the last line? It must be my imagination right? Mo-mom what are you laughing about… I have a bad feeling about this…)
As Xenados was sweating of what is about to befall him on top of a certain peak a beauty was watching the scene unfolding. After she saw the scene of the huge meatball formed from dragon flesh covering the dhampir after it ate the dragon heart and drank the dragons lifeblood she, out of curiousity watched and waited for what is to happen.
When she saw that the dhampir had some sort of change occur she then made a thought, “Could he have evolved to a different species?”. The beauty didn’t think that something like evolution was impossible, in fact she is one of the many who wish to evolve.
This with a smile murmured something before disappearing from the area.
On the small crater the Xenados was busy using earth magic to make the land flat, he didn’t simply summon dirt from somewhere instead he manipulated the land under the crater to rise.
This kind of action may seem like a mana consuming one but instead of forcing dirt to appear making use of underground volcanic movement he use the flow of magma under the crust to slightly push up making the earth rise.
There might have been a small earthquake due to that but he was able to use less mana than summoning earth from somewhere.
And the greatest thing that he was happy about was the mana rich soil of the battlefield between him and the dragon could be a good place to start the village.
“Okay let’s start building the village!”
Xenados already found out about his powers, he didn’t want to use it too much and become dependent on it but building a village with the assistance of shades is not bad right?
But it seems that help from the shades which are the souls of multiple different souls from different worlds and living conditions would cause a great culture shock, to the elves that is.

The houses were all made of stone that the shades possessed to move towards the clearing. The shades didn’t only possess living beings but also non-living ones. With this the shades were able to uproot trees and move huge boulders to become part of the construction.
When the elves saw the floating boulders and trees they were scared but when Xenados explained how it occurred to them they slowly began accepting that they won’t be living a normal life from the day they followed the young dhampir.
But right now they were already informed of his evolution, of course they were all celebrating. Xenados even feared that he would be disowned since he kinda became less demon but his mother was the most happy for him.
In fact it seems that evolution is really impossible in this world thus him being able to evolve is already a great achievement, paving his way to a bright and unseen future. Though it might not be stable but everyone knew that Xenados is destined for greatness.
At the present Xenados was directing shades that were constructing an town hall or village hall? Anyway while he was doing so he can’t help but to hear numerous praises.
When Xenados looked towards where those voices came he found that a shade given a golem body was instructing a few elves on how to work… a stove.
What’s this? How does this work? Oh amazing! I couldn’t believe something like this is possible.
Xenados felt bad about propagating stoves and other appliances but these appliances were powered not by magic cores or the such, it was powered by magic formations.
Well the stove still needed the occasional refueling of coal, though coal may be a scarce commodity in many other world but Xenados using the system is able to create a formation for that.
The process is amazing as it has a lot of science to it, though Xenados knows that many concepts were used but all of those sciency stuff were done by the system.
But Xenados at least knew how it works, In an empty plot of land using nature magic plant seeds and accelerate growth > using magic the plants would be subjected to an increase in air pressure and heat > speeding up the process using magic would cause the plants to slowly darken and become clumps of coal.
Though there is a lot of chemistry, physics and even biology in the process the system with it’s thousands of lives worth of knowledge did all the work for him, this made Xenados mad with joy much that the whole day he made coal he was skipping.
Now the stoves needed the coal to fuel the stoves but what shocked Xenados is that the coals are a hundred times greater in quality than the fossil fuels in the other worlds. When he asked the system how it managed to do it he received one answer.
[Science + Magic = OP baby!]
When the voice said those words it lacked so much emotion that Xenados felt sad for it instead. Though he clearly understands what it was saying, anyone would but he still can’t help but laugh at the way those words were uttered in an emotionless voice.
The building of the town went on for a few more days and in a week the town was made, if people ask the reason it became a town was due to the modern touches the shades put.
At first Xenados was still screaming, “Where is the village vibe!” but at the same time the shades made their master bow his head and allow them to do whatever they wanted with the village.
The shades he called were all past architects or people who had some knowledge in building houses.
The reason Xenados bowed his heads to his servants? Easy…
“Do you want plumbing or not?”
Those words cause Xenados to think of a life where he had to dig a hole on the ground and cover it up. He even remembered a certain lesson from a certain world where the class were taught of the importance of hygiene.
And to make it worse the way they were forced to have a proper hygiene is to tell them a frightening tale, a tale about an age where people were shameless enough to throw their feces… out their window.
Since then Xenados simply helped in how the town should look, and after a week twenty houses a town hall and a house of the town head were made. Also they should not forget about the sewage network that the shades created, in fact since the shades had the power to move underground they made a line where all the feces would eventually be dropped in a magma river.
When Xenados heard of what they did as well as their proud faces when they did so Xenados felt a chill when he thought of what would happen if he brought an army of past hero shades to fight and clear monsters then make these architect shades start building a kingdom.
When Xenados asked the system what would happen if he made the shades do so the answer of the system was frightening.
[A great kingdom will be born with the most idiotic king in history, the kingdom was beautiful but war eventually destroyed it and the king, who is still a six to seven year old was easily killed by a passing assassin. Thus the fast rise of a kingdom was followed by its immediate demise. Kingdom population when it rose… 12 people 3 beast, when it fell 1 beast 10 slaves*wink*]
(Are you able to predict the future?!)
[No but that is what’s bound to happen, oh and even if you did manage to get many people. The end will still be the same, a new nameless and lonely(friendless) kingdom dares to grow so rapidly? Not a single king would let the chance to show their might slip by also who would fear a little kid? Hey there little king want some candy? If you become our vassal state we would provide you candy forever!]
Hearing the systems reply Xenados was speechless but he understood it’s point. Though he could theoretically build a kingdom making sure it won’t fall the next day harder.
