Christopher woke up rather satisfied and refreshed, as he looked at the face before him, seeing Tris still sleeping next to him, he turned to the other side and saw another woman whom he didn't even know.

Somewhat surprised he jumped from bed only to find himself half-naked and the two women naked sleeping besides him.

He tried hard to recollect yesterday's events, he remember having some arguement with Tris, some annoying people, but he couldn't remember whom they were and lastly something about someone wanting his sperm, some nonsense.

He looked at his fingers and saw that the rings were put on, but in the wrong order, well it wasn't hard to remedy that, but the missing sleep immunity ring was somewhat troubling.

Well he didn't mind it much as he stood up and begun getting ready, he took the ring he found in Tris hand after some time of looking though the stuff and lastly went to ask the Innkeeper for food and drinks to be brought to his room.

The moment he detected Poison in the wine, He begun to shout at the Innkeeper, whon wanted to escape with a single sorry.

"Do you take me for a fool, you dare to try and poison us, have you decided to make today into your funeral day!"

Christopher shouted at him waking the two whom were sleeping, but before he could even speek the hungry beastwoman was already upon the food, drinking the poisoned wine as if it was water and then tumbing into a plate, seemingly dead, making the Innkeeper even more depressed and worried at first, but moments later she woke up and begun eating like a hungry ghost.

"See there is nothing wrong with the food"

The Innkeeper said, trying to act as if he hadn't poisoned it.

"The how about you drink a cup, if you don't die then there's trully nothing wrong with it"

Christoper said as he offered him the cup he was holding in his hand.

The Innkeeper smiled as he took the cup and then gulped it in one shot, of course he wasn't suicidal, he had an antidote stored away, which he would consume the moment he left the room or Christopher turned away.

"Now sire should excuse me as I go take care of some other matters"

The Innkeeper said as he tried to slip away.

"Master, food, good can I have some more, better without poison and sleeping drugs"

At her words the Innkeeper vomited blood and instantly drank a potion he had on him.

"You don't seem too well, I think you need another drink"

Christopher said as he reached to the already empty jug, of course the Innkeeper had no idea that it was already empty after all it was full just moments ago.

"It's just my medicine, I have a strange illness, I forgot to take my medicine earlier"

The Innkeeper said while smiling as if nothing was wrong.

"Don't forget to bring more food, something without drugs and poison would be preferable"

Christopher said and the beastwoman nodded to his words.

"So what's your name?"

Christopher asked her, but there was a strange expresion on her face.

"You don't know? slaves have no name, the master names them, I have no name yet"

"So what name did Tris give you?"

Christopher asked her.

"She didn't"

The beastwoman said.

"Then which name do you like?"

Christopher asked her.

"I used to be called Tanna"

She said remenbering her times in Woodaria and how she sold herself to the slavers just to survive, it was a regular thing for the the unwanted young or weak beastmen to do so, after all the alternative was death.

"Then Tanna, let us hear your story over some food, which hopefully won't be poisoned"

Christopher said.

"Master is kind, the previous master would only feed us, his slaves, with scraps and leftovers"

Tanna said, making Christopher somewhat moved but it only lasted for a few second, after all this was a fantasy world with lots of weird stuff, in truth he didn't even aknowledge a world where people could live forever and revived upon death as real.

"So you have beem hungry, do you need healing or something, I'm talking about the poison"

Christopher asked seriously.

"I don't know after my skill mutated, I gained a large resistance to almost everything, something called Lesser Immortality"

She said, in truth she was still poisoned, but she suffered only half of the poison's effects and her health regeneration was so high that it did no damage at all, simply neutralizing one another.

Of course Christopher had no idea what the skill did, but seriously "Immortality", the world was simply falling apart on itself.

'Ecclesis did a rather shady job when creating the world'

He thought since what they were told was that Ecclesis created the world this was the popular belief in Nivava.

Their discusion was as unfruitful as it could get, Tanna knew absolutely nothing about the world other than some things that were widely known and could easily be found in geography books.

The whole world of Axis was a terrible mixture of cultures due to them having summoned too many hereos, there wre japanese, Korean, french, native american, native african, Indian, Chinese, Rusian and countless other cultures appearing in different parts of Axis, of course Christopher already knew that there were more powerful countries higher up the Dungeon pillar, it was rather paradoxal as Downwards there were monsters and upwards there was cilivization, it was as if The powers of nature and Technological advancement were clashing against eachother, one sending adventurers an Pioneers to wrest ground from the other.

It's even known that the Ecclesia Country had already full inhabited the first five floors of their own dungeon pillar, It's a matter of time before their population grows enough to need to expand to the 6th floor as well.

Of course Ecclesia was the most powerful country in existense as it spread across from the higher floors to the lower ones, with impecable communication between the countries of Ecclesia in each floor.

Legeds state that all countries begun from the 100th floor and descended the tower with the target of defeating the Demon God, The races up the tower although the same, they have long begun to breed monsters like livestock and leveling up there is quite easy.

Of course that depends on your own level as well, for example level 100 is the average level of the so called surface world, but on the 2nd floor, level the average is around 120-150, since the monsters there are stronger, the further down you go, the easier it is to gain levels, but at the same time, the more chances that you will die.

"Oh hasn't the food arrived yet?"

Tris whom just woke up asked and just at her remark the servants of the Inn arrived with food.

"No poison, safe to eat, Drugged meat, cursed silverware"

Christopher analyzed all the stuff brought by the servant.

"You go give this meat to your Innkeeper, with the silverware set and tell him that he's dead"

Christopher said.

"On one thing you are right, he's aready dead"

A cold voice came from behind Christopher, but the next moment it disappeared. as only a head remained.

It was the head of a gnome, and judging from its expression it didn't even register its own death, before it died.

In Christopher's detection range there were now eight other hostile dots, the servant included.

"Wait, we didn't want to..."

The servant's words were cut short as his head went rolling, and one dot after another begun to extinguish as Christopher used his Cheat power to teleport their general location, it was of course evident that until they showed hostility he couldn't detect them at all, there could even be more of them hidden that he hasn't detected yet due to their supperior sneaking ability and due to them holding their emotions in check.

Christopher then begun teleporting all the corpses to his room, without them sneaking he could see them even through the walls.

"Tanna would you mind searching them for clues as to whom they might be"

Christopher asked her politely, he wouldn't order people around if she didn't want to he would ask someone else or simply do it himself, the only reason he didn't do it himself in the first place was because he had to be on his guard.

Tanna whom had already dug into most of the dishes reluctantly stood up, stumbed a few steps due to the drugs and then begun to search through the body.

She was rather happy when she found their food ratios, little wrapped packages with non-perishable food inside.

"The Dirty hand..."

Tris said as she saw the insignia of a black hand on one of the documents Tanna had thrown ot the ground.

Tris took up the paper and begun reading, it was their orders, the dead man was probably the team's leader.

"One,two...eight, two are missing, there are two more of them hidding somewhere, the dirty hand operates in groups of five, we were attacked by two groups and seeing as there is only one document giving orders, the second group's leader is not dead yet"

Tris explained.

"So what were their orders?"

Christopher asked as he tried to do his best to search their surroundings.

"Well the Dirty hand is a thieves guild, with rather dubious origins, the document states that they had to recruit you by taking me as a hostage, but in general they are mostly after your money"

Tris said and after she stopped two more gnomes entered through the door, Christopher didn't know whether to kill them or not, but he let them at least open the door without dying.

The most however important reason as to why he hadn't killed them was because one of them was familiar to him. He was his financial advisor, that elderly gnome.

"I see you dispatched them with ease, well it's their own fault for operating in a hostile manner, could we talk for a little"

The elderly gnome asked, there was evidence of a deep rooted fear in his eyes, but he didn't shake nor show it outwards.

"Be my guest"

Christopher said as he went to sit on the bed, leaving the table to them, Tanna sat on the table and continued eating, while Tris Sat next to him.

The two gnomes sat at the table next to Tanna visibly disturbed by her eating habits.

"Well, I know that you probably wouldn't agree to invest into the underworld, even the investors pulled a fast one when I proposed to buy protection from the underworld"

The elderly gnome stated.

"Of course where there is light there will always be darkness, You are now that light that shines over the world as you are one of the greatest investors known and probably the starter of a new trent, after your successful investment in that Dwarf alchemist, countless nobles have begun to try digging out pearls out the mud, starting a new age of investments, of course their funds are low and they don't really consult with experts of the field like you did when approaching me"

The elderly gnome explained an intriguing bit of information.

"Now as you might know due to you not owning some Grand estate or territory, you can invest 80% of all of your earnings, meaning that your investment funds will only keep growing even with some poor investments your chances of losing out is around 20% at most, with only a 0.4% chance of going bankrupt, meaning no chance at all unless you go crazy or something"

The elder stated some facts, which of course Christopher didn't care one bit about, he was no longer in the Dwarven Country and he would in time enter the dungeon pillar, meaning he didn't really care about all this.

"Could you stop beating around the bush"

Christopher said somewhat irritated from all the talk.

"I don't understand what bush you are talking about, but the crux of the situation is that there are four types of underworld organizations, Bandits, Assassins, Smugglers and thieves, your investment funds have already went into supporting three bandit groups, all six of the famous assassin clans, two smuggling groups and the crimson dagger thief group..."

The Elder said but was interrupted by Christopher.

"In simple words, you were not authorized to fund your own group and want a piece of the pie"

Christopher said compiling all the useless information into a few words.

"Well in a few word we would like to enjoy the same funding as them, which includes the ressurection of some of the best experts, the other groups were more than overjoyed to have a giant behind them, in general all the funded groups now have the ability to select their own missions, since their funding is sort of a protection investment, the idiots whose corpses are on the floor wanted to prove that they were worthy of you investing in them, but as it turns out we underestimated the power of money"

The elderly gnome said while having his eyes glued on the eight rings on Christopher's hands and then smiled.

"These are gifts from our organization, you might not know but in your vault right now, there are dozens of similar gifts from the crimson daggers, since they sort of exchange funding for stolen goods of around the same value"

The elder said as he brought out a small bag and put it on the table.

"You do know that I don't have a master identifier at my disposal"

Christopher said with a mocking smile, but the elder's smile didn't falter.

"Isn't this the reason why I brought him here, don't you remember him?"

The elder gnome asked somewhat surprised, but he was sure that Tris besides him would.

"Well I'm not so good at remembering faces, I'm more of a voice person"

Christopher explained with some stupid excuses.

"He's the same Identifier we used back in the Doldri mountain"

Tris explained.

"So what, would you trust someone whom came accompanied by a group of thieves whom tried to drug and poison you, just a few moments ago?"

Christopher's question made the elder gnome panicked, truth was that his move was too hasty, he of course had considered the possibility of the plan's failure, but he had expected for the gnomes to at least be able to stay alive before his arrival, thus having something to show for themselves, but reality was that what they showed was total incompetance, he even regreted not having them attack him in his sleep, but if they did so, they would simply ignite his wrath, making their goal even harder to accomplish, Dirty hand was a gnome only organization, it gathered those homeless and abandoned gnomes and trained them in stealth and pickpocketing, even burglary, the problem however was that their scale was rather limited thus only operating in Doldri mountain, but unlike the Crimson daggers group which accepted anyone whom joins, they didn't accept outsiders, they only recruited people, in other words you could not join unless you are scouted and recruited by the Dirty hand, you could call them an elite thives guild or a private club, which had both advantages and disadvantages, the advantages being prestiege,better prices for stolen goods and help if you ever got caught, the disadvantages were of course that they didn't have many members and leaving the guild was punishable by death.

Now imagine what would happen if their advantages disappeared and only the disadvantages were left, this is what happened, with the funds invested in the Crimson daggers they were now able to offer the same conditions as the Dirty hand to its members.

Of course there was another reason why the crimson daggers were funded, the most important one, the Scarlet daggers Assasin group, The Bloody daggers bandit group and of course the smuggling group called Stolen daggers.

You understand that they were the infamous underground group widely known as "the Daggers".

"Well in general the Dirty daggers are a group of orphans whom created their own thieves guild"

Tris explained to Christopher whom was happily chatting with her letting the elderly gnome go through memory lane unhindered.

"Why not just create an Orphanage or something"

Christopher asked.

"What's an orphanage?"

Tris asked rather interested, not understanding what it was, in truth it wasn't like the concept didn't exist at all, for example Ecclesia did have Monasteries that worked like orphanages.

"It's a building complex where you gather orphanages and educate them whom people without children can then adopt as their own, or they can simply go their own path when they grow old enough"

Christopher explained.

"How stupid, whom would want to adopt a child when they can have one of their own, as for those talented Orphans they will either way find their own path and be adopted even without the Orphanage"

Tris explained the problems that would occure in this world if such a thing existed.

"Then let me ask you, what would happen if you were old and poor, needing and needed a successor to your craft?"

Christopher asked.

"Well you would go downtown grab a beggar child and educate it, Tris explained, yes but what if the children in the orphanage were already educated, had some skills up their sleeves and looked nothing like a hungry ghost?"

Christopher asked.

"Still wouldn't make it, you are forgetting that when you save a person from the street he will be full of gratitude towards you, meaning that it won't easily repay kindness with hate, if you however take it away from a benevolent institution and ask it to experience hardship it would spit on your face and try to return back, even if it's just for a few days"

"Then what if we employed the Children in our business enterprises, like the dirty hand does"

Christopher asked her making her a little skeptic for a few seconds.

"Let me thing, an elf takes 140years to become an adult, a dwarf around 80 years, unless of course you evoke the age progressing curse, but that's something rather expensive, but even the beastmen need at least 2years to grow up, well unless you are making a constitution for goblins your idea isn't even worth considering"

Tris said, since from a financial point of view it wasn't worth it.

"You don't understand, the concept of an orphanage doesn't involve profit in the first place, it's for charity and humanitarism, it simply makes people feel better, they don't sell children they try to find a good family for the child to be able to live like a regular human"

Christopher tried to explain, but truth was that Tris didn't understand a thing, the Elder however had a tear go drop down from his eyes saying.

"What a wonderful world you come from"

These words made Tris shocked, of course it wasn't impossible for a gnome of his prestiege and power to find information that Christopher was a summoned hero, in truth multiple countries already knew about this matter and had sent their agents to silently keep an eye on him.

Of course they didn't care what he did with his money as long as he didn't try to wrest power or something, the ones however whom were the most troubled at the moment were the Nivava agents, the rued the day that idiotic prince had decided to persue Alexxa, even more they cursed the deceased king whom seemingly grew senile in his old age instead of immediately giving the throne to his little daughter bloom and his Queen, in that way he would have been able to hold at least a few more heroes than they had now, since the fight for the throne was one of the dominant reasons why people begun to fracture in the first place.

Just imagine the already fractured then groups that were trying to reform and retain some form of unity being divided even further by the royalty, thus destroying any chance of them staying behind in the kingdom, even the ones they thought they had roped begun to scatter due to hundreds of reasons, the most important of course being the Country's own financial crisis at that time, of course having see how this seemingly average hero could easily decimate dozens of people like they were ants, they could only curse inside and only hope that their own heroes could do something similar by now, after all it's been three months now that they were sent to the dungeon pillar, where gaining experience is rather easy there, at least for the local demizens of this world.

"Master, could you create a more concrete plan of this thing called Orphanage?"

The elder said, calling him master for some reason, as if wanting to become his disciple or something, not the master of slave-master, with a more boss-like hint.

"Whatever, it's not like it's a bad thing, but Tris is right, economicaly it's no good, thus I will give you a template idea and you should make it into something worthwhile, also I want this project to not be stopped at Doldri mountain, we should have such Projects everywhere, depending on the child's talents it will be nurtured and educated, starting with laguage comprehension, they should be able to understand all languages, know how to count, memorization is not bad for them to have, simply give them the memorization skill and then begin to teach them stuff instead of giving them further skills, this would make them at least knowledgable"

Christopher stated as he had already begun writting down his statements.

"Then the Comprehension skill would be even better, toppled up with Identification!"

The elder gnome stated as he begun to create a more complete image, but what he imagined wasn't exactly an orphanage, but an Academy, a system for education that wasn't applied even in Ecclesia, due to reasons that some of you might have guessed.

(They needed the commoners to be ignorant, making it easier to manipulate them)

"We can call it the fortress of science!"

The elder shouted triumphantly as he came up with his own version of the Orphanage, of course he probably misinterpreted science with creativity or something, because of the subjects Christopher wrote down, since 5/10 subjects had to do with science, 3/10 with arts and 2/10 were sports and entertainment.

Of course in the gnome's mind they became interpreted into 5/10 magic, 3/10 mental and 2/10 physique. This would be their golden ratio of 20/30/50 for their graduates, they weren't creating soldiers, nor mages, they were creating workers, you have to understand that magic is the most versatile of the three groups, meaning that every class can learn it and use it, of course they won't gain experience like mages do by learning spells, but in general you could say that even the most useless person if he knows magic could be of some use, especialy with cleaning of course most of the graduates would be employed by their affiliated groups, the only problem was the racial problem, mostly troubling would be the beastmen, would they be expanding a branch there or not, but that's something unimportant for our story.

The "fortress of Science" Project was of course something that would not be actuated immediately, Christopher had programmed it for 100years into the future, when his wealth would have become 100times what it is now, meaning that there would be minimal damage to the other industries, however he still initiated the building of a foundation, in other words Doldri would have it's own fortress of Science build Immediately.

"Since the matter is now finished, lets talk about the dirty hand of yours, what's you name again"

Christopher said.

"Doesn't matter, I've already decided on disbanding it, after seeing today's fiasco there's no reason to keep them doing stupid things, I will redirect all my manpower to the fortress, making them teachers there, they might be thieves, but they can still read and write"

The elder said as he looked at the bag on the table.

"as for the rings in this, consider them as a gift of free will, you can ask our friend here for identification, there's no need to be so distrustful, truth is that there were hundreds of times when we had thought of ways to take over and steal all your capital, do you know however why we didn't?"

The elder asked with a self-mocking tone and smiled.

"I hate stupid riddles, just spit it out"

Christopher said, somewhat annoyed by the gnome.

"It's rather simple, there are at the moment 80 Investing agents, whom form a council of course there are some alliances, but if you die, whom would the money belong to, if you were brainwashed, whom would control you behind the scenes, amongst us there is no person whom wouldn't misuse that authority and spend millions on an estate and guards for

self-protection"

The gnome explained as he looked at their Inn room which couldn't exactly be called a luxurious one, although in this place it wasn't so bad.

In truth Chrstopher's and Tris' expenses were rather negligible in front of the big picture, they didn't rent an estate to stay in, something that noblemen did, even the elder gnome had done so, in truth he didn't understand why Christopher lived such a strange life, Tris probably already knew that the noble and rich people rented an estate, even in city full of rogues, estates still existed and were given protection by the Bandit king himself, in other words, their safety would be 99% safe if they had rented an estate. Of course seeing how strong he was it was probably needless for him, after all he was one of those heroes.

For those of you whom didn't understand it, the only reason why he was still alive or rich was because the investment advisors were divided and didn't trust one another, whom would trush another intelligent individual with all the money, of course no one. Especialy when most of them were from different races.

Of course this didn't happen through sheer luck, this was all Tris' sceme, she selected the most greedy people, people whom were loners to begin with, but had great minds and would not refuse using other people's money, in other words benefits without loss, they made money without losing.

Of course that was only one of the scemes she had placed, there was more to it than they knew about.

--------------------------------------

Back in the Dungeon Pillar, there was a chaotic village, Nivava's hero Christo was trying to quel another rebelion.

Christo's Class was that of a mage and his cheat power was to conjure a soccer ball made out of magic powers, he could then kick it into his target for both magical and physical damage.

In the early days he gots lots of support by the queen's observer, whom helped him set up a safe parameter around his village and wrest control from the local governor, a considerably old village elder, whom all the people respected.

Thus the Village chief was left to manage the village while he would form an attack group that would clean up monsters.

In the early levels his magic balls weren't very effective, but still did some considerable damage to the monsters he hit, the problem was that he was out of shape as he hadn't played soccer for a long time now, thus he had to train a little to raise his accuracy, not to speak about success rate of his skill being somewhat low, with 20% chance to conjure the ball.

One month passed and the first misfortune struck his village as the group he led had suffered some casualties, of course that by itself wouldn't have been a great problem, but one of the casualties was the village chief's son.

He was given a public funeral, as they burned his corpse in the village's square with the other unfortunate warriors.

Of course the first month Christo like all others had failed to fill the quota, cutting their food stock by a small margin, he wasn't too far away from the ammount missing only 3 cores to fill the quota.

Non the less however the villagers and adventurers didn't take it too well when their supplies were decreased, of course before he was appointed as the governor of the villager, they didn't gain any supplies and just exchange what they had hunted for, but one month of good living made many feel somewhat dejected knowing that their loses didn't really bring the greatest results.

Of course the main reason for this discord was because of the distribution of food that Christo used.

Before he came, the strong would have plenty to eat and the weak would be their bitches for a bite of food.

But Christo had begun to distribute equal portions to the strong and the weak, making them whom mattered more in the dungeon pillar disatisfied.

Of course they did nothing drastic since they gained informations from adventurers that most other villages had the same distribution system.

The reason however that led to the first rebelion, the final hit to the finish ignite the rebelion, was named "Keia", she was Leia's twin sister and ex-princess whom was given to Christo.

In general she was just Christo's sex toy for the firsth month, but as time went by she begun to advise him on the path of tyranny, not like he killed anyone, but she informed him of certain benefits that came with nobility, which included the partner selection right, the tax collection right and lastly the right to reinforcement.

The advisor whom he asked agreed that these were his rights, but before he decides to use them, he should first stabilize his authority.

It was then that Keia told him that if he wanted he could give her the reigns, she would make the village stable in a single day, all he had to do is give her authority over the village.

The three days later the whole village was silent as the village elder died from old age in his sleep.

Christo also cried for the happy old man, he was a rather good guy that helped him a lot to understand the troublesome matters.

The next day Keia brought Christo a woman, saying that she would be his new partner as she begun to call her a common slut, as she commanded her to strip and service the hero.

Christo of course thought that something was wrong, but her beauty and naked figure quickly made those feelings disappear, even more so since now two beauties were in his bed.

Of course his level rose in those days, but it was rather strange how each time he was hunting with different people and although his harem only had two women, the two of them were rare beauties.

Keia said that she wanted to bestow a title upon him, a rather cool title called Dark knight, since she was a noble, she had the title bestowal, but since she was a slave she needed his agreement for him to take the title.

In truth is was a rather sweet title as it raised all his stats two times their regular, making him able to hunt monsters with ease.

The problem however was that at some point the people of the village tried to backstab him in a battle, if not for the bodyguard sent by the queen, he would have probably been dead, losing Keia as a result, since their lives were bound together.

Of course the ones whom attempt to kill him and their insinuators were easily found by Keia and disappeared from the village.

"Today there is another partner for you, I hope she meets your tastes"

Keia said as she brought out an elf, well in truth she was a half-elf, but she wouldn't shut up, saying that she was framed.

"This is the leader of the adventurer's guild and one of the people responsible for the attack, the guild has already agreed that she's guilty and at your mercy, I thought that killing a beautiful woman wouldn't sit well to you"

Keia explained gaining his agreement as once morehis lust took the best of him as he begun ravaging the beautiful elven beauty, whom just cried as she was penetrated.

Christo after that day discovered that he had gained a new title called Heartless, its effects were rather sweet, he gained resistance to mental attacks.

Although that month he had filled the quota, for some reason the villagers looked at him as if looking at a monster, of course he thought that it was the effect of the Dark knight title as he chuckled inside trying to hide his laughter and had a rather good mood all day.

The next month for some reason noth villagers and adventurers were somewhat unwilling to go on hunts with him, but he didn't force them, after all with his title he could easily solo, monsters, of course it took more time to kill them but it was twice as efficient in collecting slime cores.

I have already explained the ways to kill a slime, hit the core, magic damage or simply by reaching its hp to zero through physical damage.

You can understand that by hitting at the core the core becomes useless, thus he had to either use magic that wasn't strong enough to destroy the core or physical damage, but he had long come up with ways to use his balls, in truth he didn't even have to hit the balls, he just needed to make them appear above his enemies heads and just by touching them they would take some damage, of course it would only be magic damage, if he wanted physical as well he had to kick the ball or punch it in midair, he quickly reached magicality 50 which made his chances to conjure balls into 100%, the rest was if he could kick it to fly accurately or summoned it at the right spot.

All would have been happy if the villagers hadn't decided to rebel and he had to witness how the guards from his luxurious estate begun to slaughter the people.

"Don't mind this, this is rather regular for noble territories, you should rather be happy, since the strongest individuals are still alive, those killed were just weaklings whom thought they should be threated equaly like those that work, it's like a beggar demanding a healer's payment for doing nothing, they simply grew too arrogant because you feed everyone the same"

Keia explained, but strangely the advisor agreed with her, it was a common occurance that could happen anytime, of course he didn't go in depth for the reasons, but them rebeling was in itself an act punishable with exile or death.

Of course new villagers were sent by the town, seemingly not caring at all as to why the previous ones died.

The rebelion however wasn't a singular event, as again and again the villagers would rebel while he was away or even if he was there, it seemed as if the title was a bigger mess than he thought, but he didn't really care, after all he could easily gather the cores by himself, the problem however was that it became a tedious task.

That night Keia brought the fourth and last woman of his harem, a beastwoman with strange white hair and large ears, whom seemed to be rather willing to be by his side for some reason.

But he wouldn't say no if a woman wanted to be banged by him.

The strange however thing was that they even had a baby, that appeared that night.

Christo, seeing the baby the next day at first panicked, but then he thought better and decided not to care much about it, after all this was a fake fantasy world with strange rules, he even thought of asking Keia and the others to also have children with him.

Which he did indeed, but at a later time as at the moment he was personaly slaughtering the rebels with his magic spells, without even using the balls, since most of them were common humans or half-bloods, with no real battle ability to help in the hunt.

You have to understand that they are the common mass, generaly known as the property of the nobles, but they are not slaves, in other word although they have to show respect to the nobility, it the noble is not their master, they have the full right to shove his orders up his ass and none can blame them for it.

Also the commoners have the right to petition to change lords or to ask to leave a lord's domain, in which situation new commoners will be delivered to fill up their spots since in Nivava every village, town and City has to have at least the bare minimum of people this is why Christo's village wasn't lacking in people.

Although unknown to him Keia had her own devices, she had succeeded in creating a map of the region, by sending the common villagers to their dooms to do so.

Thus creating a map of the area to help Christo in his hunt, in truth it all begun when the leader of the adventurer's guild asked an immense amount of money to provide them with their own map of the area.

Of course the result was a fallout in their negotiations, since they didn't want to lend it for a later payment, believing that they had the upper hand, which resulted in their leader becoming Christo's sex partner and a slave.

The adventurer's guild of course abandoned her to her fate, unwilling to face the Rulers of the kingdom, knowing that she had done a stupid thing in trying to gain profit out of the hero.

In truth although the map had some value, it didn't really cost that much, in reality all adventurers whom joined the guild had the right to look at the map held by the guild and even add their own information on it, thus earning a small reward if it was true.

Of course theat was only the droplet that spilled the cup, there was another reason that had agitated the villagers even before the framing of the Adventurer's guild's leader.

That was the first woman whom Keia brought to be Christo's partner, in truth she was the widow of the village chief's son, regretably she had no children due to believing that they still had time later, the villagers looked at her with respect at first but as she was the widow of a good man, but called Keia names, which of course she didn't take so well, thus she shared her names with her, making the whole village disatisfied, of course it was a noble's right to take a partner amongst the commoners, but it was a little too much.

The final woman whom Keia brought was he own confidant, she had been offered a seat next to the hero and a life of luxury, in exchange for framing the leader of the adventurer guild, by disguising as her and asking a group of adventurers to kill the tyrannic dark knight, which they agreed without a care after a small intercourse and the promise of becoming their partner if they succeeded.

In general lines Keia did nothing that was outside her authority thus the advisor couldn't really interfere even if he wanted to, from the beginning with the village chief's son's death, there was already chaos brewing, to taking his widow as his partner was in his rights and seeing as most of the original villagers were more or less dead by then it didn't really matter.

The greed displayed by the Adventurer's guild's leader left even him with a rather bad impression of her and with the adventurers trying to kill the hero, someone had to take responsibility, her becoming the hero's partner was even more than she deserved, if it was in his own authority he would even sentense her to go protect the frontlines.

The rest of the problems were small things like the formation of a royal guard to protect the estate, the bestowal of insulting titles to commoners by Keia, there were tons of people whom were titled as idiots and prostitudes due to having mispoken in public.

You can now better understand the rise of Christo as the Dark knight, of course with all the problems his level could only reach 57, while others with the best results had already reached the 90s, Anna even reached level 100, being promoten into a town Governor.
