《Another World and I'm still rich?》Chapter 43. Starting the "War".
Advertisement
As Bunvers and I are sitting in my office, one of the employees from the base floor opens the door and comes in.
"Headmaster! Important news! The Emperor has sent an ultimatum to us! We either cut down our influence or he will start doing it forcefully!" As the employee is in a state of panic while saying that, I calmly smile.
(Finally he made a move. Sadly, forcing my hand right now is not a smart thing to do.)
"Send an order to every city. Cut all trade within the cities but keep our inter-alliance trade going. Make sure we starve this Empire. If any sort of conflict starts anywhere, employ all the mercenaries and soldiers on guard duty in every city. It's time for a coup. Also, send saboteurs to the other companies in the cities, just to be sure." The employee carefully writes all my words on paper, bows and then runs off.
(I wanted to let my forces build up for a little while longer but I guess I have to show myself since I am not letting an Emperor stop me.)
"The Emperor is going to feel like it just woke up a dragon it shouldn't have even thought about. But what are you going to demand from him?" Bunvers asks calmly while drinking tea.
"One simple thing. Everything he owns. He either gives it or I take it. An ultimatum to answer an ultimatum. If he demands something from me then I demand something from him." I smile as I answer Bunvers.
--- A few days later ---
"Headmaster, all the mercenaries and soldiers are on guard duty now. It won't be long until the Emperor has to react to our demands." The same employee who told me of the Ultimatum reports in again.

The employee hands me some papers and then leaves the room.
(Is this... A list of the cities and how much we have control over them in percentages? All are over half. I guess we just have to wait then.)
After about three hours of looking out the window, I grow tired of it and decide to go for a walk outside.
I wave goodbye to the front desk receptionists and then immediatly head towards the shopping district.
As I reach the shopping district, I see our stores doing extremely well and the stores which didn't unite with us are basically mostly closed down except a few resisting ones.
A few familiar faces are also walking around going from shop to shop.
I also walk into a few of the more interesting shops around and luckily nobody knows who I am otherwise it would probably be a huge commotion.
After wandering through the streets enough, I head towards the city walls just because I want to see the view from ontop of them.
One of the guards tries to stop me from going to the city walls but after I show him who I am, he immediatly allows me to go up.
(This looks better than from my office. I can actually see the wind moving the grass from this height.)
After admiring the grass and wind for long enough, I go back to my office and start sorting through the papers once more.

The Fire Within Can Be Scary
In a fantasy world similar to ours, magic worked similarly to physics, with each elemental spirit magic being tied to a state of matter. Earth is solid.Water is liquidAir is gas.Fire is plasma. Four elements, four states of matter. However in the ancient world of Hitarea, "Plasma" hadn't been discovered yet. The people of this world believe that only three states of matter existed, and thus, only three elemental magic could exist. For years, Earth, Water, and Air stood alone as the three main elements from which all others originated. Advanced arts like metal from earth, or Ice from water were only extensions of their original element . . . so what does that make Fire? Fire is powerful as the earth with its mighty explosions, flexible like water as it writhes around in the air, and swift like the wind. All at the same time. Fire, in regards to combat, is the most powerful element by far. This fearsome power is Alden's to master, but this power is a double-edged sword. One shouldn't play around with fire if you don't want to be burned. The fire within can be scary, you know?

Wild Steam
Get on a train. Head east. Get on a ship. Travel further east, in style. See some wonders of the world. Find what was lost. Find where home is. How hard is any of that?Well, for Jake Ranger, pretty damned hard. The world being a wild, crazy mess from a global altering event called the Shattering doesn’t help much. Nor does being a famous folk hero. That last one really sucks, because people always run up to famous heroes and beg them for help with all their problems. Then there are the actual outlaws and monsters. They don’t help much either. Mostly they just get in the way and make everything way worse. And in a world that is so screwed up decades after the Shattering, there is a lot of variety to both outlaw and monster. Then there are the more civilized, (read: sane), non-human folk, and good old humans as well. They all get along just spectacularly. Totally best friends, on every level, for life. Of course getting to the east coast is only half the battle. Once there, he must contend with the so-called “civilized people.” Then there’s the ship ride; pirates and sea monsters are a thing too, after all. Should have read the brochure. But when the chips are down, the bad guys are winning and the wild winds of chaos are blowing, it helps to have a fighter on your side. Even if he is a little wild. After all, that’s not really a problem. That’s what beautiful women and lots of gold is for. Proper motivation is always key to success. Welcome to a Steampunk, Wild West, Victorian era, Lovecraftian infested, fantasy, shoot ‘em up world. Complete with a slow build harem of badass beautiful women, crazy adventures, and fun, monstrous villains. Welcome to the world of Wild Steam. Do enjoy your stay.

Cardinal of Sin
They say sin comes at a horrible price. Or...perhaps I'm misremembering the saying. Regardless, I'm usually inclined to agree with the aforementioned statement. When one is held hostage by their own carnal instincts; never being able to fully control their primitive impulses...Well, let's just say, it would destroy a lesser man. That, I know. I died because of my lack of self-control, after all. I must admit, though. I didn't expect to change this belief of mine after meeting my end, but here I am. Breathing. In a world I don't belong; a world of magic. Here I am, whisked into another reality with the power to sin. To conquer.
