uehfvjfd 6 A new beginning

As he woke up Jay felt grass beneath his body and a cold wind assaulting his right side.

"Ah right, the ninth great mystery of planet Hope, how did we arrive, guess we aren't solving that one today."

As he groggily stood up he eagerly looked around. To his north, there was a snowy area with some mountains that were kilometers high, truly a sight to behold. On the other side, he saw a forest with a bunch of trees he would be able to later cut down. In the west, he saw a wide river going from north to south, hundreds of meters in diameter.

When he looked east everything seemed like more of the same, with the patches of grass he was standing on now as well as the forest to his south which expanded further. He did know however there was a nearly invisible barrier that would most certainly stop anyone from going from one region to another. At least, for the time being.

Instead of wondering how he suddenly appeared here while other people were in all sorts of different places in this massive world, he decided to have a good look at what he had on him. Other then the rewards he got from the most recent missions he was still in the clothing that he had in the illusion which, justly, puzzled him. Seeing he also had the sword, spear and bow he previously took on him he wouldn't complain.

He could tell at a glance the sword and bow he had on him were simply decent weapons but nothing worthy of a grade. The spear did seem of a bit of a better quality as the fight from before only damaged it a tiny amount which was better then any common grade weapon would be.

Name: Bandit's spear

Quality: F grade

Specialties: Unbreakable I, Morale I

Description: A weapon that belonged to a strong bandit leader in charge of a poor group of roaming bandits.

In truth he was quite satisfied not only with the weapon before him but also the amount of data a C-grade AI-chip would bring someone. After just a thought the specialties would also be explained.

Unbreakable I: The weapon will be harder to destroy.

Morale I: People under your command won't retreat as quickly as others.

Jay couldn't help but positively nod looking at this spear. Even though it was only F-grade, it would be pretty hard to get a quality weapon in the beginning stages, leave alone one with unbreakable, which was by far the most important common specialty a quality weapon could have.

After having this fortunate event befalling him he explored the AI-chip a bit more. The AI-chip would listen to his commands even if he would just think them, which was a great way as you could easily hide what grade AI-chip you have. A C grade AI-chip could be used for appraisal, storing a limited amount of information and the forums.

In truth, there were many mysteries surrounding this planet. As in how the AI-chip can read information of items that existed here, how the forums worked without internet and how it was possible for this world to be so different from their own with magic and some odd system in place.

In the end, he figured it must have something to do with the World Will, however he didn't have the strength to test this theory as he simply wasn't strong enough.

After putting this thought aside, he had 1 more thing to consider. This was whether he should use the platinum base token or if he should split it up into 4 gold ones and use one of those. After all he would have to make more towns in the future and he also had to think long term.

After a long while of considering, at last he decided to use the platinum token. The reason was rather simple, in his previous life the people with silver tokens would wage war against each other in order to get the ability to upgrade their base token to Gold, so if they did that instead of using those tokens to put down more villages there must've been a reason. And by that logic a platinum token should be just as worth it.

After looking in his interspacial ring for a moment, he found a small metallic cube with a blue shine to it. He carefully placed the cube on the ground about a hundred meters away from the river as a notification flashed in front of his eyes.

User has placed down Platinum base token, do you wish to proceed with the creation of a new base?

"Yes"

After he said that simple word another notification popped up.

Please name your settlement

In truth Jay couldn't help but hesitate hearing this notification. He had already decided on how to name his country once he filled the requirements for making one but he hadn't truly thought of how to call his capital. After thinking for a bit, at last he decided upon a name that wouldn't be hard to remember, something that would help it gather fame.

"I shall name this settlement 'First City'"

Name accepted; Congratulations user for creating your first settlement. Rewarded 10 Gold Coins.

Reward for creating a silver quality settlement: 10 Gold coins, basic smithery, basic tailory awarded.

Reward for creating the first platinum quality settlement: 100 gold coins, 1 basic marketplace.

Jay smiled widely as he looked at the small pile of squares in front of them, each with a picture on the front representing a certain building. After keeping himself from yelling out in joy, he thought of how to place the buildings.

In truth, he knew he didn't have any great skills in such a matter so in the end he reached into his interspacial ring using his mind and pulled out 2 thin coins. After throwing these on the ground there was a flash as 2 figures appeared before him simultaneously kneeling before him. On the left was the A grade architect, he looked like a 20-year-old guy who had never touched a weight in his life.

Next to him was an extremely strong-looking general who wielded a spear. He looked like he was around 30 and had a multitude of scars on his face.

Name: Grottle Green (lv1)

Talents: grade General, B grade leader, C grade bodyguard

Titles: Great General (Strength of all troops he commands +25%), Bloodthirsty (Increased strength the more lives he takes), Believer in strength (Any soldier trained by him will be stronger by 20%), Blind Follower (This follower will never betray you)

Strength: 10

Agility: 8

Intelligence: 5

Politics: 1

Mana: 0

Speciality: none

Description: N/A

Looking at both these he couldn't be more content. The general, in particular, was truly a force to be reckoned with. When utilized properly he could increase the troops strength by 45%. This was more than just a 1.5x strength increase. It would make their technique vastly better then a regular soldier making their soldiers potentially be worth 2 of anothers.

Once they appeared, General Green instantly spoke up: "My lord, what can this servant do to aid you." Directly followed by architect Gariel "My liege, my life is yours to command." .

"Very well, General, secure the outer perimeters, make sure there are no bandits or wild beasts nearby. Gariel, we have a bunch of buildings ready for construction, tell me the best way to place them for future expansion."

Once these orders were given both immediately got to work, General Green quickly started walking the perimeter looking for potential threats while the Architect started making a plan in the dirt.

After a while of discussing potential options, Jay and Architect Gariel decided to put the mansion at the center of the future city while they would use the 10 basic houses in 2 lines in front of it. Naturally leaving some space in between, after deciding upon this they placed the smithery, tailory and magic tower behind the mansion. As each of these would be restricted for now. The marketplace was put in between the houses and the Mansion as it was the most important item both for the town's prosperity as for himself.

After planning out everything they simply put the squares on the places where they wanted the building to go and then it would slowly rise out from under the ground. After this he grabbed all the tokens that represented citizens. After a moment spent in thought, he threw out all the tokens except the ones of the basic magic instructor and the advanced talent.

The others came down to 2 blacksmiths, a tailor, an adventurer and a soldier.

After having a look at each of their stats they each seemed to be pretty basic. However since all of these would spawn with the 'Blind Follower' trait they should still be properly cultivated.

After telling architect Gariel to show them around town he headed inside of the mansion. It was a large 2 story building with a small library and study other then the basic rooms. He noticed he had already read all the books within the small library in his last life except for one called "How to deal with Goblins 101." marking it in his head as one of those books filled with half-truths he sat down in his study as he decided to look at his own stats.
