[Do you want to use it now?] - The system asked.
Alexander was stunned to receive a lucky spin and a starter pack. If he can just at least get something good, it will really help him in his current situation.
"Yes, let's begin with a starter pack first," Alexander instructed.
[Congratulations! You have received the following items from the Starter Pack: 5,000 gold coins, Basic Resources Pack, and a Low-grade Kingdom Revival Token]
[Do you wish to use the Kingdom Revival Token now?] - The system asked.
Seeing that he received something valuable like gold, he wanted to check the amount in the basic resources pack.
…
[Basic Resources Pack - Added in System Storage]
Wood: 10,000 units.
Stone: 5,000 units.
Food Supplies: Enough to feed 300 people for one week.
Iron: 1,000 units (for tools and basic weapons).
Arcane Core (Low Grade): 300]
"Food supplies worth enough to feed 300 people for a week? This is great! With this, the food problem is now solved," Alexander exclaimed, a smile adorning his face.
He glanced down at the panel and noticed that he had also won an Arcane Stone. While he felt pleased, he was slightly disappointed to see it was only a low grade.
After all, what could he expect from a Basic Resources pack? According to his memories, even though the original Alexander never studied, he had learned the basic knowledge about the uses of Arcane Core during his childhood.
Arcane stones are crystalized cores or magical essences that beasts leave behind when they are defeated.
This serves as a valuable resource for everyone since it can be used for absorption as long as it is cleansed from its impurities. However, cleansing needs to have a purifying magic, and only the Radiant Church is filled with this practitioner.
Even if an individual possesses this ability, they must have a deep understanding of light magic or at least be equipped with a second-tier spell.
For a commoner, obtaining a second-tier spell or even purchasing one is nearly impossible due to the high cost, and some spells may not even be available for sale.
Even purchasing a first-tier spell is nearly impossible, and for a noble to acquire a second-tier spell, the chances are quite slim.
However, if a noble possesses significant influence and power, obtaining one may be possible, as these spells are only available through the Radiant Church.
In a banquet hall, young Alexander listened intently as someone shared a story with a group of children. The tale was about the "Radiant Church," a religious organization that encourages the worship of Solara, the goddess of light and order.
They are highly influential in kingdoms that embrace their faith; sometimes, they can advise the rulers or have the power to be in command.
They don't misuse their power and authority, as any actions must be reported to the highest authority before taking action.
The person then shared the story of the church's powerful military group, the Dawnblades. They are exceptionally strong and are tasked with hunting heretics and combating dark forces, especially 'Demons'.
While their teachings promote peace, their intolerance towards other religions or practices like necromancy and paganism is their pet peeve.
Back to the present, if Alexander remembers according to his memories, the Arcane Cores are differentiated in level.
[Quality Based]
Low-Grade Arcane Core - These are dropped by weak beasts and are used in minor crafting, low-tier enhancements, and serve as a battery to power formations and arrays.
Mid-Grade Arcane Core - Dropped by stronger beasts, these stones are used for both crafting and enchantment. They also offer various functions in addition to serving as a battery for formations and arrays.
High-Grade Arcane Core - These stones are dropped by powerful beasts. It is rumored that a living adult dragon possesses this type of stone.
??? - He forgot, but there is a much higher level than this.
...
Just by looking at it, getting a high-grade quality Arcane Core is nearly impossible—not entirely impossible, but hard—since a living adult dragon can just stomp his kingdom with one foot, destroying at least 40% of his kingdom.
Its fire breathing can only do the deed; with just one breath, his kingdom would be gone! If he even think about slaying or even offending one? Then he would be doomed.
Seeing the panel about the Kingdom Revival Token could be used; he decided to check what it was.
…
Item: Kingdom Revival Token - In the inventory
Grade: Low Grade
Description: A magical item that increases the morale and loyalty of the people, giving them hope and motivation to follow their lord.
Effect: Restores 100% infrastructure of at least 1 village in the kingdom (Examples are roads, homes, roads, crops, and more as long it is in the vicinity of the village - As long as it is a village then this item will work as long it is connected to a kingdom)
…
Alexander looked at the list of items with wide eyes, his heart racing. "This... this is way more than I expected!" he muttered, gripping his head in happiness.
His gaze lingered on the Kingdom Revival Token and the resources listed. "If I use these now, I can repair some of the mess this place has become. And with the coins... I might even be able to hire help or buy supplies."
Looking at the 5,000 gold coins. Gold Coins are not a small amount in his current situation,
"This is literally enough to rebuild the remaining village; I could hire workers, buy supplies, and even start fixing the walls of the kingdom with this!"
"Back in my world, this would be like carrying hundreds of thousands of pesos. How did I get so lucky after being roasted by a challenger?" he sigh from his good luck.
Just to be on point here, his weekly wage was not very high, only about 2,000 to 3,000 pesos when he was working in his world. So you can see how happy he was because of this.
(Author: But for real, can that be considered good luck?)
