14th May 1995
After getting off the plane Victor called a cab and went for shopping. Using the money he got from the inventory of his system, Victor bought everything he needed. Suits, casual clothes, phones, watches. After his shopping spree, Victor was greeted by the general manager of the mall. He asked if he could left the things he bought here later to be picked up. Manager said he would watch over his bags. Victor was smiling when he got the answer, everything was money after all.
Leaving everything he bought behind, Victor this time went to buy himself a house. The real estate agent showed him available houses with photos black and white. Victor liked the two mansions he saw and had a trouble choosing. In the end he bought two of them. He decided to use one of them for himself while using the other as a base to his operations. His new operation base had a quite distance from the city center and it was in the middle of a forest located at the skirts of a mountain. The mountain called "High West" 'High' because it was a mountain 'West' because it was located at West side of the capital.
There were quite few mansions at that location and most of those mansions belonged to the members of parliament. The others being occupied by rich businessmen. It was a good place for Victor, he had a chance to make friends with those people.
The other mansion was located at the east side of the capital. This location had much more mansions and villas. Celebrities and rich business owners mostly choosing this place. Because there are lots of places for them to entertain themselves. Country's best bar and luxury restaurants with each cuisines of the world. Every place to satisfy these big people are so close to location.
After signing and taking the documents he put it all in his suitcase. Leaving the real estate office, Victor decided to buy himself a car. Once again called a cab and went to the most famous car dealer in the capital.
The dealership's name was 'Prestige Motorscape'. Victor knew that dealership, from the memories of the original body. Prestige Motorscape was established one year before the civil war. While the civil war happening there wasn't many people that buying cars, this led to his business being almost destroyed. Thankfully the Civil war ended and with the help of government, he found himself a investor. With new money, and support from the government, his business soared.
After ten minutes of driving, Victor arrived at the dealership. The building was big and luxurious. Getting inside Victor was greeted by beautiful sales person. 'Claire' was what written on her name tag. She had black hair and hazel eyes. She was wearing a white shirt and short black pencil skirt, her legs wrapped with black stockings. Victor admired her beauty while she was helping him choose a car.
After a few minutes of walking around and looking at the cars, Victor's eyes stopped on a black SUV. Seeing his interest in SUV, Claire introduced the car. The car had 7 seats. Two in front, two in the middle and three in the last row. Had large space in trunk and extra storage unit was mounted on top of the car. It was perfect for him and his men. Price was only 5.000 CED which meant it was for rich people. Satisfied with the car Victor looked at the Claire before saying.
"This car, how many you have in the garage?" Hearing him say this Claire smiled happily and said. "We do currently have 29 parked in our garage." Claire said.
"I'm buying all of them." Hearing his words Claire was in shock. After the initial shock she said that for a big purchase like this, her manager had to involve so Claire went to call for her manager. After few minutes of waiting, Claire came back with two man. One of them was middle aged while the other was slightly older than him. Victor knew the older man, because he was the owner of this dealership. Vincent Sterling was his name.
"Mr. Drakon, these two gentlemen are my manager Mr. Steele and Mr. Sterling, who owns the dealership." Claire introduced them while they were shaking hands. After flattering each other for few seconds Vincent says.
"I never thought someone who is buying thirty cars at once would be this young. It seems you are quite successful in your business. If I'm not being too much, which industry are you involved?" He asked. Victor smiled and said.
"Well, any industry you could think about. I was mostly focused abroad because of the civil war. Now that it's ended I bought my first company in this country yesterday. The company's name is Warmonger Arms. You might have heard the name." Victor said and the faces of the trio became ugly. It was normal after all, Warmonger Arms was supplier for both sides in civil war. Because of this not many people loved that company, even after the civil war, company had always problems with the government which made their business decrease rapidly.
"I know the history of company and all but I'm intended to change it." Victor said smiling slightly. After hearing him the others gathered themselves, and proceed with signing. Buying thirty SUVs costed him 150.000 CED.
After completing every procedure, Victor asked if he could order a specified car in here. The response he got was, he could as long as it's something the manufacturer agree. Hearing this Victor become happy and asked about the options he could choose for his SUV. He could add armor, ballistic windows and bulletproof tires. He could also choose luxury mod which removes the middle seats and creates more space inside the car. It also adds fridge inside the vehicle and a bar to store the alcohols. After looking through the options, Victor decided to buy himself both modifications. After filling up a form and signing it Victor made full payment that costed him 24.750 ¢. Shaking hands with Vincent and his manager Victor left the dealership with his newly bought vehicle and drove off towards his new base.
After 20 minutes of driving Victor arrived at his new operation base. There wasn't any security placed in entry because he didn't wanted and the real estate agency respected his choice. Victor drove his car inside the garage and parked. His garage was large enough to park 50 cars in. Getting out of the garage he walked inside the mansion. Inside of the mansion was full of luxury. Paintings, old porcelain vases etc. It had 3 floors to up and 2 underground, total 6 floors with ground floor.
In 3 floors there were 2 bedroom in each with bathroom,wc and various rooms. Underground floor was totally for entertainment. On the first floor, there was a space designated for playing poker and pool. The second floor had bar and a place to watch movies. Though Victor decided to use them differently.
After walking around few minutes Victor got bored and sat down. He had spent quite a money. 174.750 for cars 550.000 for mansions and 48.760 for his shopping at the mall. Total of his spending today was 751.260 CED. But Victor wasn't upset because he had a company now which was giving him enough money. The total value of the company is 2 Million ¢. With this value, Warmonger Arms considered as one of the rich company in the Empire. In the list of RFR (Royal Fortune Register) first place was occupied by Thorne Ravenshadow. Who owns the Ravenshadow Holdings valuing 10 billion ¢. Thorne is the founder and CEO of "Ravenshadow Holdings," a diversified conglomerate with interests in technology, finance, and luxury goods. His empire spans international borders, contributing significantly to the economic prosperity of the Crow Empire. Ravenshadow Holdings is known for its innovation, ethical business practices, and commitment to social responsibility.
Warmonger Arms was listed as 341th with the value of 2 Million ¢. Which was already category of rich companys. Victor pondering about his plans for the company, decided to put those aside for now. He needs more reward from the system and he can gain them with killing people. Making up his mind Victor summoned 10 revolutionaries from his system inventory and gave them Ak-47. There was a village 1 hour away from his mansion, there wasn't any military base or proper defense in village so he decided to attack that village. Victor's mind wasn't crooked but he was selfish. In order to reach his goals he would do everything he can.
Readying themselves the summoned revolutionaries began their journey. It will take at least an hour for their journey. Because they're walking and there's a possibility of getting detected they will move slowly which would make their journey longer. Also they have to hide their tracks as not to attract attention to their boss. While they began their journey, Victor decided to check on his new business. Getting inside the car Victor drove off towards his new company.

"Mike get your ass back here!" I could hear her shouting at me but I made up my mind. I was leaving this village. I want to be rich, and for that I need to be in capital city. Not in some village that has forgotten by government.
As I walked towards the highway for hitchhiking, I began dreaming about the life I would have in city. Being successful, having money that could last forever and of course beautiful ladies. If I could just reach to the city everything I dreamed would be mine.
After an hour when the day turned into night I was sitting at the side of highway. No one stopped to take me in their cars. Waiting this much without even being able to hitchhike a car, I was disappointed and decided to go back. Getting up and gathering my stuff, I started walking towards my village. Even though I was disappointed I wasn't really sad. I had another chance tomorrow. With this in my mind I started singing a song my father taught me.
After a minute of walking I heard a loud bang. Stopping my singing I looked towards the highway thinking someone had an accident. Then I heard another followed by another coming from the location of my village. Turning towards my village I started running while praying for my family's safety. I could still remember the days of civil war even though I was seven. Sounds of the artillery, machine guns and rifles. Our village lived those days on the edge, fearing that someone would drop a bomb on them.
