Calm down

"L-Lord."

"Calm down, I'm not angry."

Justin spoke calmly, hearing Ethan's tense voice.

He wasn't just saying it; he truly wasn't angry.

Rather than feeling ignored, he felt more of a sense of unease.

'This is strange. How could no one come at all?'

People are the same everywhere.

If pioneers had emerged in a monster-infested Earth, then even without quests, a similar environment would have developed here.

Some pioneers would have gained power like warlords and ruled over the common folk beneath them.

Naturally, if they were given even the slightest hint, they would have easily guessed that this world operated similarly.

'But they all chose to rebel against the lord of the largest and most magnificent territory without hesitation? Even though the system gave them such a clear guidepost?'

It didn't make sense to assume that every single one of them was drunk on their newfound pioneer powers.
