After the night passes.
And Kuramoto wakes up on his bed.
"In this new era, I will rule over this world, Even if I don't win the game of authority, atleast I can rule over this entire world, No matter how many sacrifices I have to make, I will do it."
"Let's start with making an army."
He walks outside to see cheerful people enjoying life just as much he enjoyed when he was an immortal.
"Master, I have heard that you will start the foundation of an Empire?"
"Yes Yuta, I will start it today, I would like your help in this, would you mind posting advertisements of jobs such as BlackSmiths, Masons, Miners, and hunters around the place?"
"Leave it to me!"
After 2 days,
"Sir, here are the job applicants"
"As you know, I, Kuramoto would like you to help us build the foundation of a new empire."
"We're willing to do it!" Said the applicants cheerfully
"What job would you like to apply for?"
"Carpenter "
"BlackSmith"
"Miner"
"Soldier"
And thus, 4 days later, The immigrants from a nearby city, who were abandoned by their rulers, slaves who were mistreated and exiled from their masters, heard about the news of Kuramoto's recruiting, and they walked right over to him.
After recruiting almost 100 people for his army, 29 for blacksmiths, 78 for miners and 90 for carpentry, Kuramoto began training his new recruiters for their designated jobs himself.
"Ha, This is tiring, Let me recruit some trainers for their jobs."
Two days later, All the other trainers except for the Army, arrived.
"You all, You will be given your own land, food and other necessities and a monthly salary of 1 gold coin as long as you can train them perfectly."
"Yes sir!"
"Now go train them as I said!"
They all walk out the door and Kuramoto started thinking how he would train them, But that's when he had this idea.
"Yuta, Come here for a second" he said calling Yuta from over a distance.
"Yes sir?"
"You were a knight, weren't you? Skilled in combat and stuff."
"Yes?"
"I would like to hand over you the first army, I will help you too, But I would want you to train them"
"I will try."
"Now Let's Go, I will show you the points you're supposed to train."
They walk over to where the trainees are.
"EVERYONE! GREET THE LORD!"
The trainees salute Kuramoto with utmost sincerity and respect.
"Yes Yes, Here is another trainer for you, He is the former Knight of this clan, and also my personal bodyguard, I will be assigning him to train you."
"But sir, what are we supposed to train?"
"Discipline. As long as Discipline is there, even the weakest ones can become the strongest."
"Alright then, I will leave now, Train hard, I'm looking forward" said Kuramoto with a smile on his face.
"Yes sir!"
"Yuta, Make them train hard, I want a disciplined army by next month." He said with his hand on Yuta's arm.
"Sir! Please explain how!"
"Make them stand without moving even an inch and run with the same speed and same reaction time."
"And also, Don't forget to stop making them fear death."
"Make them believe that they're already dead."
"I'll leave the rest upto you." And he walks away.
"Veronica, Stop staying invisible, You know that I can sense your energy."
"Alright alright you caught me."
"So, This is your plan?"
"Not really, Since this world isnt equipped with such high standards of fighting, I will use my extraordinary knowledge to craft a musket that can fire repeatedly."
"And how do you plan to do that?x
"I don't know."
"For now, let's just leave it how it is, We also have strong clan members which will be useful to us in many ways."
"Veronica, Summon all the clan members that have elemental attributes and ask them to come here."
"On my way."
Veronica soon called them here.
"So, You guys are equipped with magic abilities right?"
"There are two groups, Offensive and non offensive. Under the offensive one, there are attack and defense, and non combat ones will help with everyday labour like melting iron, and more."
"There are 13 of you here right?"
"Line up with the current list I showed you."
They all line up.
"8 of you are combat types and 5 are non combat types."
"The current elements that we have are
4 fire types, 3 water types, 1 electric, 3 Wind type and 2 Light types"
"Talk to Yuji to know which jobs you are suitable for."
"Okay then, we will take our leave." Said Veronica leading them to Yuji.
"So now that our foundation is almost built, it's time to think how to recruit more people."
"Maybe Posters will work?"
"I don't know anymore, But it won't hurt to try."
He tells his Clan's council as to how and why he wants to forge an Empire from scratch and they all seemed to agree, except one.
It was the Knight of the team, Other than Yuji.
"Ryota, Why do you think this is a bad idea?"
"Because I don't support anything like this, We want a democratic nation not some useless monarch who thinks he can rule the world just from scratch."
"Shit, He is a valuable asset, I have to convince him somehow." Thought Kuramoto.
Ryota again replied to Kuramoto's earlier statement, "Sir, I won't support you, But I can atleast do you a favour and leave this place."
"Ryota, I know this sounds absurd and stupid, But to end the long and useless reign of Timothy, We have to work together to overthrow him."
"... overthrow Timothy!? Is that why you're doing this!? I don't want to support you, but if it's for my dead family, I will do anything to make him kneel down and cut his head myself."
"Good, Without further ado, let's plan our first battle for some land."
