Malaya Empire, located at the centre of Nusantara continent. Home to the most dungeon in the continent. With 5 low grade dungeon, 4 mid grade dungeon and 4 high grade dungeon.

Its main source of economy are items dropped from monsters, crafted items, crops and poultry output. Making it the second wealthiest empire among others.

In Palace Hallroom.
"Make way for the Sultan!"
A gray beard middle age man with a fancy tengkolok (crown) walking toward the throne followed by 20 hulubalang. All the officials gathered before his arrival lining up neatly beside him while bowing showing their respect. None of them brave enough to make eye contact with him. He sit on the throne with his yellow gold native suit.
The leader of the Malaya Empire are called Sultan. The most powerful and noble among them all. Not only just by his rank, but also by his strength and leadership. The position has been passed generation to generation by their noble blood line. But one must fullfill the requirement and test before being crown as Sultan. So the direct or the only heir are not automatically being chosen. The competition is fierce between the noble family.

"Your Highness Sultan Mahmud.. We as the citizen of Malaya Empire wishing you good health and happiness. May you have the strength to rule and lead our Empire towards greatness. Long live Sultan Mahmud.."
.
"Long live Sultan Mahmud!!"
"Long live Sultan Mahmud!!"
.
Said Bendahara Tun Jasa (Minister). Followed by the other officials in the Palace Hallroom.
.
.
"Thank you my dear citizen. It's good to be here again after my long visit to our allied empires. It's only been two weeks but I feel very homesick. So what are your report Bendahara Tun Jasa?"
.
.
"Your Highness.. For the last two days our Southern Wall have been attacked by numerous horde of monsters. We have increased our surveillance and manpower to overcome the monster attack and now the situation has been neutralised. But a report saying that there are rank 3 and rank 4 monster among them. This is the first time we encounter those high level monster from the plain field. Usually its only rank 1 and rank 2 monster. The amount of casualty are 250 soldiers. I have dispatched a team to investigate the source of these monsters. I will report to you once we get some clue."
.
The monster from the dungeons never set foot on the field because of the magic barrier at the entrance preventing them to cross it.
.
.
"My condolences to the soldiers. They have done their best to defend our empire. Make sure you give them a proper burial and also make sure their families are properly compensated. Increase two more investigation team. I want to know the monster origin as soon as possible. Take my 20 elite hulubalang to the Southern Wall to help those soldier. With them, we can defend even rank 5 monster."
.
The everage level of elite hulubalang (Knight & Templar) are level 150. With their stat build and skill focusing on close combat and defence, stationing them in the defence line is a good decision.
.
.
"As you wish Your Highness.. Next, about our export and import activities, we have increase the export tax from 2% to 3%. For the first month, the acceptance by our citizen are very good eventhough there are some against it earlier. Our tax income are forecast to increase from 39 billion ringgit to 42 billion ringgit."

"Thats good to hear Bendahara. Anything else?"
.
"No other serious matter for your attention right now Your Highness. Just for your information, we are currently recruiting more Hulubalang to helps the soldier throughout the defence wall and the Palace. And one more thing, what is your plan for the princess birthday?"
.
Sultan Mahmud face suddenly changes from well composed to panic.
.
.
"Arrrrrggghhh.. Its two more weeks right? I totally forgot to remind you. Hurry up and prepare as always. But I will prepare the main present to her. It is something special I get from the Brun Empire."
.
.
"Dont worry Your Highness, we have prepared beforehand all the necessary arrangement for the princess birthday."
.
.
"Haaaaaa... Thats a relief... Thank you Bendahara. I'm going to rest now."
.
The panic Sultan Mahmud has change to his calm demeanor again and walkout from the Palace Hallroom.

One of the officer actually recognize me from before.
Who wouldn't?
My bout (fight) with Ozman is epic to say the least. He is the son of Tun Kira. One of the 4 main minister in the empire. Of course he is favoured by others, but to use a trick having me to eat a fruit he gave me as a friendship present that increase my fatigue by 80% and weakening effect was so saddistic and unforgivable. I will not forget it!
Even when the effect take place as we battle, I managed to fight him in equal root without activating my [Iron body] and [Nimble Moves]. I get to cut 80% of his hp before I faint as my fatigue defeat me. Many of them were impressed and also dumbfounded because I did not activated any of my skills in that fight. Actually I cannot active my skill because I want to stay much longer into the fight because my fatigue are at 20% from the start of the battle. If I did activate my skill, I'll be torn to pieces within 1 minutes to the fight.
