Alright since I only have a year to prepare before the canon start. First of all, system are you there?
A row of words then appears on the air in front of me.
< The system will help you build your own empire, train your armies, and other things as well. But first you need to level up the system to use more of the locked function. For now the only function opened is the 'Build Order' function, the 'Drill Order' function, the 'Quest' function, and the 'inventory' function.>
< For now all the function is currently empty. To construct a building, you need to get the blueprint for the building first. The same requirements is needed to train your troops, but in this case you need to have a specific building that used to train that type of troops.>
< For the start please open the starter gift pack that the system has provided for the first time. It is sent to your inventory, please check it.>
Empire Building System (Lv.0 - 0%/100%)
- Build Order
- Drill Order
- Quest
- Inventory
I tap the Inventory option and found the gift pack. I then tap the gift pack and it suddenly appears on top of my right hand. It looks exactly like a birthday present box. I untied the ribbon that locked the box, and then opened it.
- Tree Of Life Blueprint
- Ancient Of War Blueprint
- Altar Of Heroes Blueprint
- Moon Well Blueprint
- 5 Wisp Summon Card
- 2 Archer Summon Card
- 1000 Gold, Food, Wood, stone, and Iron
Wait this blueprint are... aren't this the same buildings from the game warcraft ? Is the system only use the warcraft types of troops? But the name of the system is the empire building system which is not closed to the warcraft troops faction only, then that means I can get other types of troops from different worlds as well as long as I have the building blueprint to do so.
This is getting interesting, building my own power, hidden from the rest of the worlds, it really makes me excited. My general soul is full of spirit, this the kind of excitement I have sought-after all of my life any previous life, and now that I have gained the chance in this life, I will enjoy it to the fullest.
For now, I need to find a hidden safe place to build my army first, but where can I find that kind of place here. Although I only watch the first season of Highschool DxD anime, I know that the Kuoh town where I'm currently living is under the rule of two big devil family heiress which is Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri.
I'm afraid they would notice something wrong if I build my army in this town. This kind of speculation won't bring me anywhere, I need to go and inspect the field my self. Wait, right now I have 5 wisp and 2 archers that the system gave me, if used right then I can let the wisp gather woods safely and silently without getting noticed by other force since if my memory is right, the wisps won't make any sound when they gather resources.
As for the archers, since they are night elves, they have the ability to hide their presence at night and even can become invisible at night when they are not moving. They can be made as a perfect spy at night but for now I need every help I can get to check the surrounding area.
Well, at least I have the gist of the plan, I will make a much more detailed plan later. It's still at 8 morning right now, I can only start the plan at night, so right now the only one that can move around is me, and since it's Sunday according to my phone, I can freely move around today. Now let's think about my current situation.
There won't be any danger since I'm just a normal human being without any relation with the supernatural world right now, so there won't be any eyes spying at me. I can rule out about me having a sacred gear since I know I didn't get it from the lottery wheel.
The problem is Issei. He has the Boosted Gear which is one of the 13 Longinus. He will be watched by the other forces and that will make me, his big brother watched as well. I still remember from the anime that Rias Gremory watched Issei for a few months first when she got notified by Koneko that Issei has the smell of a dragon.
And since it is a year before canon, that's mean Issei is still at his first year of high school and I'm at my second year. From the memories of the previous Tatsuya, I'm in the same class with Sona Sitri and Rias Gremory. This is troublesome, I need to make a plan right away.
I think I only have 6 months at least before Rias start to watch over Issei and if she start to look out for Issei, then I can assume she will watch my entire family as well. Unfortunately I can't remember every events that happened, it's been a long time since I last watch that anime.
I need more information about the surrounding area. Thank god I have a laptop here, It's time to surf the internet.
*Time Skip 1 hour*
Fortunately the internet have all the basic knowledge that I need to know. I have memorized the entire map of Japan and some nature area that should be safe to build my initial army. I still haven't thought about how to get gold as well but I will think about it later, the most important thing that I need to do right now is to secure a safe place to build my base.
The good news is I found a forest just right beside Kuoh town, the bad news is, it's located quite far from the house, and I plan to go there today and see how much time will it takes for me to go there and vice versa. I also want to check whether there any hidden forces inside that forest or not.
Since I only made the plan today, I don't have any preparation beforehand and the only transportation I have at home is my bicycle, well at least I don't have to run there. I took my bag and got out from my room. When I was walking down the stairs, Issei suddenly got out from his room and call out to me.
"Nii-san, where are you going?"(Issei)
"Nowhere, I just want to walk around the neighborhood."(Tatsuya)
"You are acting weird today you know, usually you slept till noon every weekend and you would always say no when mom and dad told you to go outside. But today you woke early and now you are going out by your own will."(Issei)
What the hell? Since when did this boy become that sharp and smart?
"Why are you making this out as a problem? I just want to do something different today, that's all. Do I have to report everything that I plan to do to you huh?"(Tatsuya)
"See! you got angry, so that's mean you are hiding something! You don't have to hide from me you know! You have been acting weird all this day and you get up early and going out, that's only lead to one answer. YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A DATE WITH A GIRL RIGHT?!?!?!" (Issei)
(O_O) *deadpan*
I feel like an idiot right now for even thinking about this guy becoming smart for once. I don't know how to answer this question. I don't know to face this situation. I just feel stupid at this moment.
"Why are you being quiet all of a sudden? I hit the nail huh?? YOU TRAITOR!!!!
After he said that, he ran to his room and lock himself inside his room. You know what, I will just ignore it, that's the best solution. He can imagine what I'm actually doing all he want. and I will just ignore it. I will just go now...
I got out of the house, took my bike and go to the forest. The sun emits terrible heat today but that won't stop me. This body of mine is still the same as the one I have back when I was still a general. At some point I even take part the special force training which is staying in a dessert without moving at all. Staying still for days, no food, no water, no rest, just keep guard till the training ends. With this kind of body, there's no way this heat will beat me.
