However, as the village began to rebuild, local politics reared its ugly head. A few influential families tried to divert resources to their relatives, causing tension.
John addressed the issue head-on in a community meeting.
"We're here to help everyone, not just a select few."
He said firmly.
"I won't allow favouritism to derail our efforts."
The crowd murmured in agreement, and the corrupt officials quickly realized that John's resolve, and his financial backing, were not to be trifled with.
Using his own funds, John was able to bypass the political red tape and continue the work unhindered.
He purchased additional land and opened public recreational areas, creating jobs and providing a safe space for the villagers to gather.
His proposed the idea to flatten the land around the area, which was basically cutting a small chunk of hill. There were disadvantages too because I shrunk the size of the land that people had, but he compensated all the villagers. The other difficult part was with the government, but after looking at the devastation and the urge of villagers, they could do nothing.
John's investments transformed the village. He opened community centres, established regular funding for healthcare and education, and even launched an initiative to modernize local agriculture, creating sustainable job opportunities for the villagers. At the same time, the most important project was road construction.
He quickly contacted Cecilia because she could only complete this task among the people he knew right now after consulting with Tina's father. He proposed his idea and just let them do their work on their own while pouring money into it.
Word of John's efforts spread, and soon, women from his own village, including a social worker named Samantha, requested to visit. John chartered a flight for them, eager to show the progress they had made.
"You've done an incredible job."
Samantha said, surveying the bustling village.
"I knew you were capable, but this is beyond expectations."
John smiled, humbled by her praise.
"It's all thanks to the people here. They're the real heroes."
John, Tina, his big sister and Samantha worked together to modernize the agricultural practices in the village, bringing in experts to teach the villagers about sustainable farming techniques. They set up irrigation systems and introduced new crop varieties, ensuring that the community would have a stable food supply for years to come.
At the same time, he was worried because of his women but since he was truthful about his dealing with them by letting them talk to each other and making his mother, almost the leader, he became free from such headache. What did they talk about? He didn't care, but the result was in his favour and he didn't have to explain to them.
Since the women already talk about it, they already divided the time which they allocated for themselves and enjoyed having sex with each of them. There were some discrepancies, but it was not big of a deal because he could easily handle them all at the same time. They were newly acquainted with each other, so it was impossible to share him at the same time for the moment, even though they were becoming very close to each other.
Recognizing that these were long-term projects, John began training local leaders to take over. He held workshops on leadership and project management, gradually stepping back to let the community take charge.
The government, impressed by John's work, offered to honour him publicly. However, John politely declined, preferring to keep the focus on the villagers and their resilience.
"I'm just a facilitator."
He told the officials.
"The real credit belongs to these people."
John made sure to acknowledge the contributions of the women who had supported him throughout the journey. At every opportunity, he highlighted their efforts, ensuring they received the recognition they deserved.

After spending a night with his sister, early in the morning, he got the quest from the system which surprised him a lot. It changed his plan because he was given a little time than he expected.
