《The Solitary Sword Sovereign》Duke's Time to Shine
Advertisement
These were the only stats available to Will. Will was introduced to all the villagers as the new leader, and they readily accepted him, after all, this was the way.
Will was told of how hunting in this dungeon works. It's all about developing a stronghold on Mount Olympus. Once your fortress becomes strong enough, it will attract attention from high-level bosses. Defeat these bosses, and you will turn your Fort into a City. This seduces bosses of all kinds, defeat them and your city will turn into a Nation... Once you reach the Nation phase, you will actually be able to use Nation powers outside the dungeon as well!
Branded Dungeons allowed you to leave with incredible gifts if certain quests are completed. Some users focus on one Branded dungeon their whole lives and use its power to level up. It was a rare but possible occurrence. Earth had not reached such a level yet, but Eridium had. Letty knew of a handful of powerhouses who fought using nation power from branded dungeons.
Will had no intentions of solely relying on one particular dungeon, but nation power sounded intriguing. It was Woodsy who had informed him about it. The energy gained from owning a large Nation was called Fate.
According to Woodsy, most powerhouses use Fate often because it is a form of high-level energy. But one can only start to learn how to utilize it after gaining or creating a Nation. To do that Will needed to turn this village into a fort.
To do that, he needed to train the warriors himself and tactically take down other villages. Be they human or monster. This was how it all began. To first train the warriors, you give up some levels to make them talented. Their base talent is your own talent plus how much you were willing to sacrifice for their talent.

Will, however, wasn't your typical user so he was confident he would produce monsters.
One hundred village militia gathered in front of Will and co. They were mostly hunters and guards. Even the village's best farmers, martial instructor, carpenter, blacksmith and village doctor were here causing Will to smile, "I see."
This was the power of his charisma. He was able to draw out multiple talents, and as his nation grows, he will attract even more talents.
According to Woodsy, some branded dungeons had heroes from the multiple myths from all kinds of worlds come alive in the dungeons. In Wrath of the Titans, they started as simple villagers and had to be carefully nurtured. If a hero died in the outside world you could bring them back to life within dungeons. Only one hero can one create. One has to acquire the other two. In other words, the maximum number of heroes one can have is 3. These are of course the level of the leader.
Heroes from each planet would operate in the area of their planet of origin's entrances. They could only leave once their Masters became strong enough. Take earth for example. Hecules/Heracles is a mythological character that existed in earth's ancient mythologies. There was a chance to find other legendary heroes.
In theory, if one was strong enough, they could travel anywhere on the mountain. Even into regions belonging to high-level worlds. But few would do that as that was tantamount to suicide.
The ceremony was pretty simple. All Will had to do was cut his wrist, have the blood mixed with water and have the warriors drink the water. It was just as nasty as it sounded. The only people who were not affected by this were Letty and Merlin.
As soon as the militia drank his blood water, they would have a cacoon cover them. This was also the moment Will decided. The usual decision would be to only sacrifice one per cent and increase their talent gradually, as that was possible with time. But Will was rather impatient, so he chose to sacrifice 8 per cent.

This 8 per cent of pure solitary sword sovereign and water yuan!
Will's level drop was evident to everyone. They mostly raised a brow but shrugged. Will was a powerhouse. Going from 80 to 88 was a cinch. Duke was drooling wishing he could be that strong. Usually, that would remain true, but Duke was in his territory.
"Hehe hehe." Duke laughed like a creepy stalker when the crew learned that the monsters attacking them were only ogres. Duke couldn't believe his luck. This was precisely the perfect place for his titles!
King Slayer: to slay a king, one has to be cold-blooded and strong-willed, as the simple royal aura of a ruler is enough to frighten even the strongest of warriors! The user is granted immunity to all low-level status effects targeting the mind.
Ogre's Nightmare: after slaughtering so many ogres, you'll without a doubt become the main antagonist of the tales ogre mothers use to frighten their children into sleeping! The user gains the passive abilities' Fiery Gaze' and 'Frighten', which respectively lower by 5% he stats of weak Ogre monsters and grant a small chance of any Ogre Monsters faint whenever they gaze at the user.]
This was the time for Duke to shine! Immunity to low-level mental debuffs was a massive advantage by itself, but Frighten and Fiery Gaze turned silver into gold. And It wasn't just Duke who had opportunities to find on this mountain! This was a place with corpses all over. Letty was also getting her own ideas, and it couldn't be helped. She hadn't really had a chance to show what she can do.

I'm Always Talking to Myself
My name is Zach. I’m a typical bland featureless protagonist type. The kind of guy who has purposefully few defining characteristics so that people can project whatever they want on me. Like Luke from Star Wars or what’s her name from Twilight. Most main characters are like me. Kind of flavorless blank slates because we all secretly doubt that we’re Harrison Ford, but pretty much anyone could be Mitt Romney. Yep. Yes indeed, I do spend basically my entire life running an internal dialog to no one. Usually I’m imagining that there are people listening. Like maybe philosophers from Ancient Greece, or researchers from another planet who act suspiciously like the characters from that Instagram comic with the aliens. Stupid Instagram comedians stealing my internal monologue and turning into a wildly successful enterprise which I would imagine has a vibrant merch dropshipping arm and hundreds of thousands of daily dopamine hits for loyal followers. I basically spend all of my time explaining random things to imaginary people (and aliens, and animals, and household items which have inexplicably gained sentience and frankly have some concerns about this whole existence thing). Honestly, it’s both highly entertaining to me, in that it makes me think about why we humans do all of the bizarre things that we do, but also horrifically exhausting and kind of makes you feel like you’re either, worst cast, losing your grip on reality, or best case, becoming Abed from Community. Anyway, I’m sure that I have some distinguishing characteristics, but, in the interest of hypnotic suggestion I’m choosing to omit them until I’m pretty sure that you have subconsciously come to identify with me, or until I feel like it. (By the way, in case I forgot to mention it, a higher power called Aww Thor or something told me to say that this is a slice-of-life comedy adventure and that it's set in a fantasy world with isekai and LitRPG elements.)
