Soren had been pulling a few all-nighters to stabilize the County. In the game, all one had to do was enter a few commands to manage one's group or followers, but the reality wasn't so kind with the sudden passing of the previous lord many desired to use this opportunity to gain power.
Some had tried to offer their daughters in marriage whereas others tried to show their discontent by bringing up his age or inexperience.
let's be honest, his current workload made his under-eye circles more prominent than the full moon. But who needs sleep when you have a county to stabilize and a horde of power-hungry nobles knocking at your door? It's like playing a game of chess, but instead of pawns and knights, you have marriage proposals and thinly veiled threats.
Ah, the joys of feudal management!, Truly Magnificent!
The only ones that he could wholly trust currently were the Starweaver family.
The current head of the Starweaver family was lord Thaddeus Starweaver. He and Soren's father had been best friends for as long as he could remember, he treated Soren like he would treat his son. For Soren, he was like a second father, he was also one of the few people who genuinely mourned his father's death.
'Ah, whatever I'll discuss this with Thaddeus later'. Soren sighed exhausted from his work.
He had compiled all the details he could remember into a journal, lest he forget due to the blurry memories of his past life.
Making plans and forging connections was good and all. Still, he couldn't afford to slack off on training since he'd be dead without the proper strength to survive the storyline or even this world in fact, it held all sorts of monstrous beings who could wipe a city off the map with a snap of their fingers.
Luckily, his body in this life was blessed with a good amount of talent, and with his knowledge about future events and opportunities, he should be able to get strong enough to survive while fulfilling his goals.
He had a dual affinity for ice and water magic, which was quite rare, and ice magic which was his main element was the enhanced version of water magic.
However, becoming as strong as the main protagonist seemed like a distant dream. She was the main character of this world and was blessed with a cheat-like talent, the more she fought the stronger she grew.
He made his way to the personal training grounds of his family, located below the mansion. As he arrived at the entrance, which had been sealed with various magic restrictions, he could feel a chilly wind blowing from inside felt chilly even to him who had visited this place numerous times and held an affinity towards the ice and water elements.
