"I did decide" Ars' face showed a nostalgic smile remembering his life experience in the previous world, "I will use Fortis as the name of my kingdom"

[It seems that the kingdom you are going to build later has quite a bit of influence on the abode of the fish-man race, Ars. There are more than 9 million living beings living there knowing about your current kingdom]

"9 million, eh? This number has increased considerably compared to 1512 which only numbered about 5 million inhabitants" Ars paused and muttered, "I wonder, is it possible that there has been a significant change in Fish-Man Island because of my arrival?"

[Change?]

"The woman who has the ability to see into the future is called Shayrly. There are currently 9 million living beings living on Fish-Man Island who know this kingdom of mine. That means he told them about this kingdom. I wonder when Shayrly told me this. If it happened in 1512 to 1514, there is a possibility that Otohime is still alive today. However, it could also be the other way around."

[Is there anything interesting if this woman named Otohime is still alive?]

"Not anything interesting. However, it will be easier to establish a cooperative relationship with Fish-Man Island with our kingdom later. Otohime is someone who has the desire to create a relationship of equality between the fish-human and human races. However, her wish is difficult to achieve because of the attitude possessed by humans and also because of the existence of the World Government organization. They certainly won't let Otohime's wish come true since the trash of this world, the Tenryuubito, really wants the fish-man race to become their slaves. It's the same with the trash of this world. Humans are creatures of submission. The selling price of the fish-man race is very high because of its physical endurance and also its beauty. They will definitely reject the equality between these two races."

[What do you think? Do you also have the same opinion as them?]

"Not. I'm not that kind of person. After all, what's so interesting about torturing someone? It just wastes my energy and time. I want Otohime still alive because I want to establish a cooperative relationship with Fish-Man Island in terms of trade for my kingdom. I want them to be able to supply seafood ingredients such as fish, and so on. The ocean is also rich with natural potential such as pearls, metals and various other things. If we can build partnerships with them and teach them how to get those resources. We can get a steady supply."

[Why don't you do it yourself instead of having to ask other kingdoms to do it?]

"That would be quite troublesome. There will be a lot of costs involved. Rather than letting my people do it, it's better to let them do it. The ability they have in the water can help in getting these resources easily. While in the case of humans, we cannot do fast movements in the water and there needs to be a tool that helps us. Unlike the fish-man race that can move freely in the water. Besides, the ocean area in this world is bigger and deeper than the ocean area in my previous world. I dare not take action in this ocean region even if there is you to help me. I also don't want the people of my kingdom to be in a difficult situation just because of some meager gain from the lives they have. I prefer to spend large sums of money and earn less profit. The most important thing is that the people of my kingdom can live comfortably and not experience any threats that could harm them."

[Though currently this kingdom is still not built. You are already a worthy king, Ars]

"Thank you for your complement"

Ars then began to explore the system owned by him. Ars went into the system shop and started to observe every thing that was there.

The item information in the system store is very detailed and detailed. If there was an item that Ars didn't know its use for, he could directly learn it through the information. Meanwhile, if he still doesn't understand, Elie will help him understand it.

Elie was the name Ars gave to his system.

After looking through all the items in the system store. Ars could conclude that the price of the most expensive item within the system shop was 100 million points while the cheapest was 10 points.

Ars immediately exchanged his points for a book and stationery and began to write down the departmental development plan that would later be formed by him along with the characters he would later call on complete with the positions they would occupy.

Some time passed.

"Elie, I want to take the electronic map reward"

[Ready to execute!]

Instantly in front of Ars, an electronic device similar to a tablet appeared that was used by people in his previous world to communicate or get information.

Ars immediately took the tablet and pressed the power button on the right side of the tablet. The tablet screen instantly lit up and showed a map of the island currently occupied by Ars with a 3D gaze. On the right side of the screen there are various icons that can help Ars put a mark on the map and at the top left of the screen there is a column "Mark!" which can be suppressed by Ars when he finishes setting the mark on the island.

"How long will the mark placed by me last?"

[The mark will last for 2 full days. You can save the tag file that you previously created. So that, if at any time you need it again, you don't have to re-arrange it again]

"I see"

Ars returned to continue his work by making arrangements for the division of territory on this island. The area divided by Ars is that there is a special area for agriculture and animal husbandry, there is a special area for the military, there is a special area for departmental offices, there is a special area where residents live, and there is also a special urban area.

Ars divides the territory neatly while also managing the matter of the highways that the kingdom will build later. This work takes a very long time. Ars requires quite a lot of concentration because it needs to calculate the width of each area and road that will later be built.

Ars didn't feel that time had gone so fast that it was already 4pm.

"Agh~ It's finally over" Ars said while stretching his body comfortably.

[Thanks for the hard work, Ars. You're long enough to finish this one job]

"Of course" Ars said with a tired face, "It's not just the matter of zoning out for the construction of each place. I also need to manage the issue of road construction and also the construction of each warehouse for each department that will later be built"

Ars' gaze looked up at the sky, "Is it late?"

*Stomach rumbles*

"And, I also haven't eaten anything until now" Ars muttered while touching his stomach.

Ars immediately put the electronic map aside along with the book that recorded the kingdom's development plan then went into the system shop to buy some food and drinks there. Ars immediately ate the dish very voraciously.

[Ars, who will you call first?]

"Hashirama Senju" Ars replied while eating leisurely, "Hashirama Senju is the best candidate to be summoned at this time. His abilities are very flexible. I was able to take advantage of his wood elemental abilities in creating a shed later. Besides, Hashirama's strength is enough for me to feel safe while in this world." Ars paused and continued, "How long will the fog surrounding this island protect the island's security?"

[2 years. You have 2 years before this fog dissipates]

"2 years? That's enough time for me to build strength in this world" Ars said, "Oh, yes. Elie. What about the quality of the tree wood on this island? Is the quality good? If it's good, I have a plan to use this wood as the main selling material of our kingdom to get start-up funds."

[The wood that comes from this tree is of very good quality. Although the quality is not comparable to the quality of the wood that comes from the adam tree. However, the quality is also not worse than him. If in the calculation of the scale to compare the quality of wood between the two. The wood from the adam tree will have a quality of 12 out of 12. Meanwhile, the wood from the island tree will have a quality of 11 out of 12]

"That's very good" Ars' eyes filled with joy hearing this, "I can carry out my plan to make the wood from this tree the main selling material in order to get the initial funding"

Ars paused again and continued, "Elie, you previously said that every character summoned by me would have knowledge of this world. What about knowledge about yourself? Do they also know about it?"

[They will find out. However, they will assume this is part of the power you have. You also don't have to worry about those who betrayed you. They have loyalty to you. They will never betray you. Even though the character you will call later is a character with very large arrogance. They will obey all your orders]

Ars sighed, "That's good. Because there are some characters who will be called by me have an emo attitude"

Ars continued to finish the dish he had.
