"sect..." Mekari activates a detection ability that allows him to sense the horde of multiple trolls in the village.
"I see, so this is a sort of monster raid thing," Mekari looks at the humans trapped by the huge trolls. "I could just use my dark katana to slash all of them at once, but..."
"I will only make them even more traumatized... hmm....what to do."
Without hesitation, the trolls holding down the wife threw her to the side and attempt to attacked Mekari.
"It's decided..." He swiped his arm to the right; the magic he released covered more distance, reaching almost all the trolls. They began to collapse one by one, which a white orb plunged out of there body floating above them.
"Rakulo: Soul Remover... i think that would do it" He looked back at the three villagers, and they were even more scared.
"Eehh!!!"
Furthermore, the souls of the trolls began to gather in the palms of Mekari's hands, forming a crystal.
The light show calmed them down a little bit, but they stood guard. Mekari put it in a mirror pocket (a storage ability).
For a brief moment, the man began to tear up in relief and bowed his head towards Mekari. Mekari remained silent for a second and spoke, "You people belong to me now." He turned his back and walked away.
The family of three hugged each other in relief. "Thank you..."
Mekari walked for another thirty minutes back to the mansion. "Wait... damn it, I forgot to ask them where the capital is. Oh well, I guess I'll figure it out sooner or later."
Mekari reached the mansion and entered the round table room, which had ten chairs around the table, one more elegant which belonged to Mekari, a golden chandelier, and five knight statues on the walls.
As Mekari sat in his seat, six figures then entered the room.
"My lord, I have gathered them from your summoning," said Akrila.
They formed a line formation on either side of their shoulders and then kneeled.
"Let us begin."
"You may all first introduce yourselves," Mekari wanted to test if they have emotion or reasoning just a triple check.
"Yes! Sora Benelith, shadow demon and the first rank of the Tozac Empire. It is an honor to serve you, my glorious ruler." Sora is a short shadow demon in a humanoid form who wore a black robe with a golden dress underneath and blue earrings.
Mekari encountered her by fighting her as a sub-boss of a tomb. In the game, there are features where, after you defeat a beast or boss, you can make them your subordinates. However, it comes with a price, which is a higher class and a lot of mana.
"Kerona, spirit warrior and the second rank of the Tozac Empire. It is well to protect and honor you, my lord." Kerona, a spirit samurai, wore light dark red armor that covered her knees and shoulders as well as her chest, but not her belly. She carries a long sword on her hips and wore a black blindfold around her eyes, with red short hair.
Mekari fought her as a guardian of a flaming ruin.
"Akrila, spear tyrant and your personal attendant, third rank of the Tozac Empire... I pledge my respect and loyalty to you." He was a middle-aged man, had round glasses that covered his serious look, a short white beard and mustache, and wore a dark blue butler suit uniform. Mekari encountered him from an event mini-game.
"Vire, half-zombie, combat guard and the fourth rank of the Tozac Empire... it's an honor to meet my superior." She is a half-zombie who was reassembled and made strong by Mekari as an immobile corpse backup for the mansion.
She wore an oversized black coat, had a huge scar on her face, with brown hair and eyes, and she maintained an emotionless facial expression.
"Medra, glutton slime, combat guard and the fifth rank of the Tozac Empire... it is my pleasure to serve you, our king." He is a glutton slime currently because before, Mekari wanted even more reinforcements, so he turned a normal slime into a Glutton slime, by upgrading it as a pet normal slime eventually gains the ability to have a humanoid form.
He wore a blue oversized top with grayish pants, has blue hair and eyes, and a villainous look.
"Set, Nymph, Combat Guard, and the sixth rank of the Tozac Empire... I'm glad to be of service," he said. He is a small humanoid figure with three eyes, wearing a brown robe and bold.
Mekari summoned him from a summoning crystal after fighting multiple undead for days nonstop.
However, there was one missing, but Mekari wanted to wait until he summoned her.
"Very well then, I am your leader, the ultimate emperor of the Tozac Empire, Mekari Yorin," said Mekari.

At the outpost of the forest, some unusual beings trembled the ground floor, riding on dinosaur-like monsters and wearing animal hides; it seems they were headed to the village.
But one of them noticed something, and while continuing to ride,he went to the front to report to their leaders.
"Sir, one of our assassin-class barbarians found a mansion up north, and we were thinking if we could raid it too."
"I see. Then let's first find a spot to prepare at, before heading towards it then had to the village" said the second-in-command.
"I have a bad feeling about this..." thought the second commander.
They did not know what lies in front of them implies death and darkness.
