Continent of Chronos

And the second thing he discovered about the portal and the new world is whether it is possible to carry electrical devices or anything that uses electricity and whether they work. Oli tried to take his cellphone, he brought it but, his cellphone didn't work. So, Oli concluded that electrical devices are unserviceable and unusable. For now.

Three weeks have passed since Oli arrived in Leefside town and, during those three weeks, Oli discovered a lot of new things in the new world behind the portal Oli did his research at the same time asked Elder Alfred, to know the workings and common sense of this new world.

This new world Oli discovered is called the Continent of Chronos. They have the same name as the Greek God of Time and, the map of the Continent is the same as the world map on Earth, though the countries are a bit different. It is composed of Confederation, Archipelago, Kingdoms and, Empires. The Continent of Chronos is home to not only humans but also fantasy creatures like beast kins, dwarves, elves, and dark elves, demons at the same time, high orcs.

And base on what Oli saw in the Continental map of Chronos, there are eighteen region, two of them are Empire, one is Sovereignty, one is Confederation, seven of them are independent Kingdoms but the two are not officially recognized. Lastly seven of them are former Kingdoms but now a independent Countries, they reduced to being a country because it's either their king abandon them or died in the war. Those seven are also called The Wasteland.

In the Continent of Chronos, the Emperor, King and Religious Leader are the absolute ruler. If the king abandons his Kingdom, he remains the absolute ruler, the royal family can't replace him, not until he die. In the case of the king's death, the official heir will be crowned, as the next king and, if he is not at the right age, they will wait until he is old enough. Until then, the Countries will remain Countries.

But it is possible to seize the throne in the form of the Civil War. In case a territory is in Civil War, no outsiders can interfere and intervene. Let them solve their war.

Oli flipped the book he was reading. The book was about the territories of the Continent of Chronos, then, he started reading it again.

The Credia Empire was ruled by the Tai Imperial Family and the current Emperor is Caesar Tai. Their territory encompasses to half of the both Western, Eastern and Northern Continent. The largest human empire and therefore they have the largest army in terms of military troops. They are zealots about conquering the world, their goal? well, to dominate the world.

The Literra Empire was ruled by the Al-Hussein Imperial Family and the current Emperor is Richard Al-Hussein. Their territory encompasses the Central and Eastern Continents. In their territory located the largest trading spot of the world, they are also the wealthiest Kingdom and have a strong Navy called "Merchant Caravan."

The Credia and Literra Empire are archrival in terms of economy, military, and law. They are always at each other's throat.

Located at the Central Continent, the only Kingdom between the powerhouses of the world(Empires), standing tall the walls of the Silvrout Kingdom, home of the Dwarves. The Kingdom of the Silvrout is surrounded by walls. The Kingdom was not accessible of all but, even if that was the case, many Kingdoms are still trying to win their favor because of one reason, the Silvrout Kingdom is the largest supplier and importer of armaments in the world. Their armaments are known for being durable and sturdy.

In the far Western Continent located the only Sovereign territory, the Holy Land, led by the Supreme Pontiff and his Cardinals, their teachings are widespread worldwide and the number one religion in the Continent. Their belief, has only one objective, to liberate the world from the beast's kins and demons. They also have the strongest army in the world, the "Sacred Order" led by the "Goddess of War".

The Confederation is located, in the western continent. The Confederation is composed of 44 states, and it was because of the influence of the teaching of the Supreme Pontiff and his Cardinals. The 44 states are form to battle their neighboring Kingdom in their south. The Fallen Kingdom. The Confederation was led by the "Council of Five".

The Fallen Kingdom is situated, in the Southern part of the Continent, the Kingdom was ruled, by the Wales Royal Family and, their King, Henry Wales. The Demons living in the Fallen Kingdom are a distant relative of the Demons in the Demon Continent. They are at war with the Holy Land and Confederation and, due to the intervention of the army of the Holy Land, Sacred Order, the Fallen Soldiers are pushing back.

And the ally of the Fallen Kingdom, the Zutus Kingdom. The Zutus Kingdom is located in the far Southwest Continent, they are in the south of the Holy Land. They are also at war with them. Ruled by the Aquitaine Royal Family and their King, Adelio Aquitaine. The Beast kin are beings known for having a strong vitality and their sixth sense. Their army are called "Mercenaries". Unlike the Fallen Kingdom, they are not pushing back because they have the "War Maiden" in their side.

The Fallen and Zutus Kingdom formed the alliance called "The Anti-Holy-Confe Alliance", the only reason was to resist and counter-attack the Holy Land and the Confederation."

Next is the territory in the North of the Holy Land. It is an unofficial Kingdom because the Empires, Kingdoms and, Holy Land are not recognizing it as a Kingdom but, the Northern territory is occupied by the High Orcs. There are many tribes but, they are under the rule of their strongest warrior called "Warlord."

In the Northwest of the continent lay the the home and territory of enemy of all residents in the Continent of Chronos, the Demon Continent, home of the vicious Demons. Under the rule of the Demon Lord and his 4 Infernal Generals, they seek destruction and want to rule the world. This territory is also a unofficial Kingdom.

Next is the race with the same features and characteristics, their skin color is different from one another. They are known for having a long life and a powerful life force. Everyone's favorite Elves and Dark Elves.

The territory of the Dark Elves is located at the Southeast Continent, it was called Votras Archipelago. It is composed of many islands and regions. The Archipelago was under the rule of the Suizei Royal Family and its King, Titus Suizei. They are known for having the strongest Navy in the world. They tried several times to conquer the elves and their territory but they always failed.

The Elves territory is located in the South-southeast of the Continent. Having ruled by the Aethelwulf Royal family and King Amara Aethelwulf, standing thousands of years the Kingdom of Aegean. The Kingdom of Aegean has known for the tallest tree of the world, the world tree. Their soldiers are also excellent in marksmanship. And the rumors say the princess of the Aethelwulf Family is the most beautiful woman in the Continent.

Lastly, the former Kingdoms but now a Countries, the Wasteland. The Wasteland are the poorest among the poorest Kingdoms in the world.

Oli closed the book when he finished reading it and at the same time, Zion calls him to tell that's everything is ready and organized. Oli stood up and go out the room where he was sitting and go to town square.

Oli saw the people of Leefside in the organized queue. They lined up to receive their lunch today in exchange for...

gold nugget.

Of all the things Oli discovered and learned, the one about gold was the most astonishing. One of the most expensive and valuable minerals and materials on Earth is worthless to the residents of the Continent of Chronos.

Gold on the Chronos Continent is worthless. Residents living on the Continent see gold as a decoration and design because of its brilliant color and appearance because of that, gold is scattered and laying everywhere in all parts of the Continent like the gold nugget Oli found in the forest.

When Oli found out about this, he immediately thought of a way to get all the gold he could get, based on Elder Alfred, there are five gold mines located here in Vedrain Country but, before Oli could mine the gold he will need a lot of workforces to do the mining because he couldn't immediately deploy people, for now, it was planned in the near future. The gold that Oli gets so far is gold nuggets that are scattered or decorated in the houses of the people of Leefside.

If the people of Earth know about this, it is very likely that all the countries will immediately form an expedition team to send them here but only if they find out because only Oli can go and have access to the Continent of Chronos so, he had a monopoly of so much gold.

"Young master!!!"

People called and shouted when they saw Oli approaching the table where the food was placed. Oli used the money from the gold nuggets he sells to buy food and distribute it to the people of Leefside town. Oli knows that this is a short-term solution but, he can't do anything. After all, he can't sell the gold he gets in bulk because he will probably be suspected and, it can get a lot of attention. For now, money is no longer a problem for Oli because of the amount of gold he has accumulated in the past three weeks.

"People of Leefside, line up neatly and don't make a ruckus because everyone can get a food as long as there is gold in exchange. But don't worry those, who don't have the gold can still get food so, line up in an organized manner."

Oli reminded them once again when he saw the line was getting disorganized. When the people heard it they immediately follow Oli and wait for their turn.

Unbeknownst to Oli, Elder Alfred has been watching and observing him since the day he arrived in Leefside village. Based on what Elder Alfred observes, Oli can manage and lead people but, Oli is not aware of this. All of Oli's ideas, suggestions, and steps are always correct. So Elder Alfred concluded that Oli was fit to be a leader.

He feels that his time is near, so he will try and do everything to convince Oli that he can lead and manage people.

Yes, Zion is there, but Zion is a retired General and, it is better for him to lead soldiers than to manage territory.

Elder Alfred took a deep breath prepared himself to talk to Oli. He will need to convince him before it was too late.

And Elder Alfred was right because trouble was about to come.
