Chapter 26 A New Future

"Since you both think I can accomplish the task of maintaining your city then I shall give it my all and not disappoint you," Paul states with conviction.

(James has made you the admin in the management of the city Rinascita)

-------

Now that Paul and Golaium are a part of the Baruch Familia everything for the dwarven kingdom is about to change. Unknown to me once Golaium became a part of my Familia the entire Dwarven kingdom was also added. Every citizen is now a part of the Familia and in turn has been given a copy of the Animus system.

Shock and confusion spread throughout Marbelium as every single dwarf had a transparent window appear inside of their field of vision with one simple message.

(Welcome to the Baruch Familia)

The singular thought on everyone's mind was, what is the Baruch Familia? Then of course the second thought is, what the heck is this see-through window in my field of vision. Everyone member of the kingdom started to talk to one another to find out if they have the same window and message of if they alone were chosen or something. All the while this is happening myself, Damian, Paul and Golaium had no idea that they just changed the entire future for the Dwarven race.

The four of us are in the middle of discussing the management feature when out of nowhere the doors to the throne room opened and the two royal guards rushed in in a panic.

"Sire, there's an emergency," the lead guard says in a panic-stricken voice.

"What?! What's happening, what emergency?" Golaium asks as he returns to his serious personality that he uses when commanding his kingdom.

"There is a transparent window that has appeared in both of our fields of vision, it has a message that says, Welcome to the Baruch Familia. What is going on, what does this mean?" the guards ask frantically.

The four of us look at each other in shock, what happened, why do these two guards have the animus system and why are they a part of the Baruch Familia? Is it because they're royal guards and they protect the king? I immediately ask Neph if he knows what's going on because this is something that Neph never said would happen when we talked a few moments ago.

(I have no idea why they have a copy of your system; it shouldn't be possible. Let me do a scan of your system and see if there is anything I can figure out).

A moment later Neph returns and starts to explain what he found out from his scan of my system.

(From what I was able to find out it appears that it isn't limited to these two guards, it appears that every dwarf in the kingdom has gained a copy of your system. It seems that when Golaium chose to become a part of your Familia, the system registered all the citizens that he rules over and since he is now subordinate to you, all those that are subordinate to him were included in the addition of him to your Familia. I never thought that your system would be so intuitive and make such a connection which is why I didn't bring it up earlier while we were discussing the acquisition of the second floor into your domain).

"I get it, that does make sense in a way, and I never would have thought about that happening either, but I guess since their kings is now under me it does make sense for all of those that are under him to also be under me," I reply as I am deep in thought.

Looking at Golaium I tell him of my discovery, "It seems that since you joined my Familia all those that you rule over in turn joined my Familia as an extension of you. It seems that my system has adjusted itself to allow all those who are subordinate to you become a part of my Familia in order to maintain the status quo in the kingdom," I explain shocking everyone in the room.

After listening to what I told him, Golaium agrees in his reasoning, "that does make the most sense and would certainly explain why my guards have a copy of your system. With this being the case, every citizen should in-turn also have a copy, if only there was a way to inform everyone at the same time about what is going on so there won't be too much panic throughout the kingdom," Golaium says as he is in deep thought about how best to address this new turn of events.

(With your create skill you can make a sort of mass messaging system in the system so you can relay information to either the masses or select individuals).

Hearing what Neph just told me stopped me in my tracks, "that is a perfect solution, go ahead and do it," I say to Neph elated about this new information.

"Golaium, use the skill Multifaceted Communication from the Familia skills to address the kingdom about what's going on. This way we can calm everyone down since I can guarantee that most are freaking out due to confusion," I instruct Golaium after Neph created the skill and added it to the Familia Skills list.

"Such a thing exists?! This is truly the power of a god; it is an honor to serve under you James. This skill will make everything in this kingdom easier, now people can talk with one another from a great distance without having to travel to speak to them. Think of the possibilities for commerce and even social interaction, this will bring this kingdom into a golden age," Golaium exclaims with reverent joy.

"My people this is your king Golaium, have no fear, I know that all of you are seeing a transparent window and saw a message welcoming you to the Baruch Familia. There is no need to panic for we have been blessed by the successor of our great deity Nephelium, it's thanks to his successor, James, that we have this wonderful system. Each and every one of you will be able to communicate with others in the manner that I am using to speak to you now. It is a skill granted to us for joining the Baruch Familia along with this system," Golaium announces to the entire kingdom via the multifaceted communication skill.

"There are many things about this system that you all need to know, the first thing is that if you think the word status, your window will display your strength in a numerical format as to make it easier to quantify. Second, it will also display all the skills you've learned through out your life and display them for you to see and understand their power. Lastly you will be able to travel to different kingdoms once James adds them to his Familia, in the meantime you'll be able to travel from our kingdom to the capital city of James's main floor known as Rinascita.

In order to travel you'll need to think the word teleport and the place you want to go, but you'll also need to have the intention to go there, this will make it, so you don't accidentally teleport when you don't mean to. Every time you teleport you will arrive at the specific place that you left from, so if you leave our kingdom in your home when you return, you'll be back in your home," Golaium explains in detail with a reverent passion.

Throughout the city of Marbelium, the citizens listened to the words of their king Golaium in stooped amazement and unbelievability. Each citizen had different thoughts from, the great Nephelium has a successor to the wonderful things this system they received can do. Everyone checked their status page to see their quantified abilities and to see what skills they truly possessed.

Although some people were more shocked than the rest, and those would be the members from the Adventurer's guild that went on the expedition. They are so shocked to find out that they had been traveling with the successor of their deity and that some of them had the audacity to ridicule and berate him. Those that had acted in this manner were terrified for they think that James will take revenge upon them for their previous behavior. As this thought crossed their minds they broke down and began to think of ways to redeem themselves and beg James for his forgiveness.

Elsewhere in the city there are two people that were also more shocked than the rest and they are the merchant Zander and the Innkeeper Anita, since they have both personally met James. Anita was probably more shocked than Zander because James was actively renting a room in her inn.
