"I have made sure that the work shifts are only two hours long, and there is a series of goals and rewards the children can attain as they progress. Most of them would rather keep advancing in the runes than leave, but I ensure they do not neglect their classes and time with their families."
Vlad could only sigh and accept it. He focused on the children and saw that they were indeed happy with their work, but he also understood that they liked it because of the incentives and schemes that Overlord had put in place.
Engraving runic lines was not fun as it required immense focus and precision, but the children associated it with rewards and praise.
Vlad gazed at the Rune Laboratory for a moment before turning around and leaving. Once he was outside, a contemplative expression arose on his face. The conversation that he had with Chief Counselor Aloz echoed in his mind.
'With Overlord, we might lose part of what makes a human civilization, human.'
