"System, was that magic?" Alberto asked, Alberto was very surprised. Since he was seeing magic for the first time. Although he had heard about magic, it was a myth. But now he is actually witnessing it. His eyes fixed on Circe as she stood tall, her hands still radiating a faint glow.
[Yes. Circe is a powerful Magician.]
Circe's fierce attack had left a trail of destruction in its wake, with many monsters lying lifeless on the ground. The rest had fled in terror, abandoning their fallen comrades.
As Circe approached Alberto, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Her piercing gaze seemed to bore into his soul, and he wondered if he had made a mistake in summoning her.
"System, are you sure she won't turn against me?" Alberto asked, his voice laced with concern. Because their power difference with Circe is huge. She killed the Blood wolves without any effort as if they were nothing
[Don't worry. Every entity summoned through the system will be bound to you. So don't be afraid.]
Circe stood before Alberto, her eyes cold and unyielding. "Did you summon me here?" she asked, her voice devoid of emotion.
"Yes," Alberto replied, his voice firm.
Circe's gaze never wavered. "Then you are my master," she stated, her voice dripping with an air of resignation.
"Yes...Thank you for saving us," Alberto said, his voice filled with gratitude.
Circe's expression remained unchanged. "There's no need for that. These monsters were too weak anyway," she said, her voice dismissive.
Alberto's eyes widened in surprise. She thinks these monsters are weak? She is very strong, he thought to himself.
Turning to the soldiers, Alberto gave a new order. "Treat those who have been wounded and gather the dead soldier's bodies."
But before they could respond, Circe spoke up. "It won't be necessary. I can help with that."
With a wave of her hand, Circe unleashed a burst of magic that instantly healed all the wounded soldiers. The group watched in awe as the soldiers' wounds disappeared before their eyes.
"Wow, that's incredible!" one of the soldiers exclaimed.
"Magic is truly amazing," another soldier whispered.
Everyone was stunned by the display of magic. "This magic is awesome,"

After that, the soldiers then gathered the bodies of their dead comrades and buried them with due honor. Although they were summoned through the system, they were real people, and their loss was deeply felt.
After burying the dead soldiers, Alberto and the rest of the group spent some time mourning their loss. They stood in silence, their heads bowed in respect, as they paid their respects to their fallen comrades.
"I'm sorry we lost so many good men," Alberto said, his voice heavy with sorrow.
"It's not your fault, Sir," one of the soldiers replied. "It's our duty"
Circe stood apart from the group, her eyes fixed on the graves. "They were weak," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "But they fought bravely."
Alberto looked at her, surprised by her words. Maybe there's more to her than meets the eye, he thought.
As they stood there, the system's voice echoed in Alberto's mind once more. [Congratulations! You have completed your first mission. Now your next mission is to build the capital of the country.]
Alberto's thoughts were interrupted by the system's message. He looked around, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. "What does this mean?" he wondered.
Circe, sensing his confusion, turned to him. "It seems we have a new task, Master," she said, her voice devoid of emotion.
Alberto nodded, his mind racing with the implications. "Let's proceed," he said, his voice firm. "We have a capital to build."
Then another message comes from the system
[Also do you want to open the three boxes you received as gifts from the The Observer?]
"Huh!— Okay."
Alberto began to open the three boxes one by one.
[Congratulations! You have acquired all language skills]
[Congratulations! You have gained immunity to poison.]
[Congratulations! You got 5,000,000,000,000 SC]
Alberto is surprised by his new awards. How many zeros are there? Also all language skills and poison immunity.
If I had opened it first I wouldn't have had so much trouble fighting the monsters.
But maybe I wouldn't have found Circe if I did. So it's okay.
Whatever happens is for the best.
[Then start building your capital. Select the land]
A mini-map appears in front of Alberto. Which gives him a bird's eye view of the region.
Alberto chose a place for his capital.
[Are you sure you want to build your capital here]
*Yes*
[Okay. An area of 50 sq mi has been selected for the construction of the capital. Now select your accommodation]
Alberto goes to the system shop, *Structure* where there are different buildings and designs. There are a variety of buildings, all of which are great. Some were known to him and some were unknown.
Among these structures, a structure came to his attention.
Palace of Versailles
Alberto spent fifty billion on this palace.
A magic circle appears in a moment. In a flash of light, the area surrounding them cleared, revealing a vast expanse of land.
And then, from the heart of the magic circle, the Palace of Versailles emerged.
It stood as a testament to opulence and grandeur, a symbol of power and extravagance that captivated all who beheld its splendor. The palace, a marvel of architecture and design, boasted ornate facades, sprawling gardens, and lavish interiors that hinted at a world of luxury beyond imagination.
Imposing gates, adorned with golden statues, guarded the entrance, hinting at the treasures that lay beyond. The Palace itself was a masterpiece of Baroque architecture, its intricate carvings, gilded ornaments, and towering domes reaching towards the sky.
The gardens were equally breathtaking, boasting fountains, statues, and walking paths that seemed to stretch on forever.
As the soldiers and Circe gazed upon the palace, their faces reflected awe and wonder.
"Wow, this is incredible!" one soldier exclaimed, his voice laced with disbelief.
"It's like a dream come true!" another whispered, his eyes wide with wonder.
Circe's expression remained unchanged, but Alberto sensed a hint of curiosity in her eyes, a flicker of interest beneath her usual stoic demeanor.
[Versailles Palace. This palace has many magical and modern arrangements. Which is not in the Versailles Palace of your world.
Architectural style: Classicalism and Baroque
The Main Palace of Versailles is 721,182 sf (66,000 square meters) and covers 3.166 Square Miles (202.66 acres).
The gardens of Versailles are some of the largest and most spectacular and contain 372 statues, 55 water features, 600 fountains, and over 20 miles of water pipes.
The Palace contains 2,300 rooms ]
Alberto had heard about this palace, stories of its opulent grandeur and breathtaking beauty. But now, he owned it. He pinched his cheek, the sharp pain a stark reminder of reality. "Ouch," he muttered, a bewildered smile spreading across his face. He wasn't dreaming.
[You have completed your second mission. Congratulations! You have leveled up. Congratulations! You get 1,000,000,000 SC]
A staggering sum, a number that made his eyes widen in disbelief. "A billion?" he whispered, his voice barely audible.
"If I can get money like this, then I don't have to worry too much," he thought, a wave of relief washing over him. Financial worries, a constant matter in his past life, seemed to fade into insignificance.
A stern voice, almost like a reprimand, interrupted his joyous musings.
[Don't be so happy. Because you won't always be rewarded for completing missions. So use money carefully.]
"Eh!" Alberto exclaimed, a slight frown replacing his smile.
A screen materialized in front of him, shimmering with light.
