[ Your third mission is for the palace. Summon security personnel and servants. Your limit is up to 5,000. Select how many guards and servants you want as per your wish, but the limit is within 5,000. ]

Alberto rubbed his chin, contemplating the massive task ahead. A palace of this scale needs a small army to run it properly…

Determined, he opened the shop, his fingers hovering over the menu.

"First, the security."

A new prompt appeared before him:

[Host, you may customize your summons—gender, attire, weapons, personality, etc. If you do not select, the system will assign them randomly.]

Alberto's eyes lit up. This is useful. He quickly scrolled through the options, tailoring his security force with precision.

He summoned 2,000 elite guards, envisioning them as a formidable unit sworn to protect his palace. For their uniform, he selected the Red Grenadier Guards' attire, blending style with authority. Their weaponry included:

Lee-Enfield Rifles

MP18 Submachine Guns

Lewis Guns

Vickers Machine Guns

Webley Revolvers

To enhance their mobility, he purchased:

50 Ford Model Ts

10 FT-17 Tanks

30 Dodge Brothers Motor Trucks

40 Indian Powerplus Motorcycles

10 Peugeot 156s

Ensuring no logistical issues, he stocked up on ammunition, fuel, rations, and other essentials. With every careful selection, his vision of an impenetrable stronghold took shape.

"Now, the workforce."

For the remaining 3,000, he diversified their professions—creating a well-balanced palace staff. He summoned:

Skilled gardeners to maintain the breathtaking landscapes

Expert doctors and nurses for healthcare

Footmen and maids to attend to guests

Master chefs to craft culinary delights

Coachmen to manage transportation

Dignified butlers to oversee palace affairs

He sought to create a complete ecosystem within the palace, ensuring every need was met.

He had summoned 5,000 people, a diverse and skilled workforce, ready to bring life to his new home. From elite security guards to dedicated servants, who serve him, a testament to his ambition and his growing power.

He had an army, a palace, and now, a workforce ready to serve him. He glanced around, and from the thousands, two figures emerged, making their way towards him.

One was an elderly man in a crisp butler's uniform, exuding quiet authority. Beside him, a tall, imposing officer in an SS uniform.

Both men stopped before him and bowed deeply.

"Your Majesty," the old man greeted, his voice rich with experience. "I am Alfred, your Chief Butler. You may summon me at any time, and I will always be at your service."

The younger man stepped forward, his steel-blue eyes unwavering. "Your Majesty," he declared, unsheathing his sword in salute. "I am Colonel Carl Valerius, leader of your Special Security Staff. My life is yours to command. I will defend you until my last breath."

Alberto studied Carl. He radiated strength and unwavering loyalty.

[Do you want to see his stats?]

"Can I?"

A new screen flickered to life.

Alberto's eyes gleamed. "Can I make him as strong as Circe?"

[It is not impossible. You can turn him into a Hero, but certain conditions must be met. A Hero Card is required, which can be earned through missions.]

"Interesting…" Alberto thought.

He turned back to his subordinates. "I trust you both will serve me well."

Alfred bowed. "Of course, Your Majesty. Please, allow me to show you to your chambers."

Alberto glanced at Circe and the soldiers behind him. "Prepare rooms for them as well."

"At once, Your Majesty."

They proceeded towards the palace.

As they enter the palace, they are greeted by holographic displays, Alfred guides Alberto through the labyrinthine corridors.

Inside, the corridor was lined with priceless works of art, ornate tapestries, and sparkling chandeliers that cast a warm glow over the rooms. The grand ballroom was a sight to behold, with its marble floors, soaring ceilings, and walls adorned with intricate frescoes depicting scenes of myth and legend.

In the center of the palace lies the Great Hall, a vast chamber that stretches into the heavens.

Alberto is very impressed by all this.

Alfred led him to a massive door, its surface crafted from solid gold, its intricate craftsmanship a testament to the palace's grandeur. "Your Majesty," he said, bowing slightly, "This is your room. Please let me know if you need anything."

"Hmm. Ok," Alberto replied, his mind still reeling from the magnificence of the palace.

| Alberto enters the room |

The room was a sight to behold. The walls were adorned with intricate tapestries. The ceiling was painted with elaborate frescoes. A grand chandelier hung from the center of the room, casting a warm glow over the luxurious furnishings.

At the corner of the chamber stood the bed, a massive four-poster draped in rich velvet curtains. The headboard was carved with intricate designs. The bedding was made of the finest silk, embroidered with gold thread.

On either side of the bed stood ornate nightstands, holding candles and books. A large fireplace crackled with warmth, casting a cozy glow over the room.

As the sun sets over the Palace of Versailles, casting a golden light over the chamber.

Alberto retired to his bed. The silk sheets were so soft, they felt like a cloud beneath him. He sighed contentedly, sinking into the plush mattress.

Then, a message appeared before him, a notification from the system

[Congratulations! You have completed your third mission. You have been awarded the Palace of Soviet.]

[Congratulations! You gained 2,000 Experience Points.]

"Huh?" Alberto frowned, a puzzled expression on his face. He had heard about the Soviet Union in his previous life, a vast and powerful nation, but he had never heard of the Palace of Soviets. What was this?

[Do you want to set up the Palace of Soviets?]

"What is it?"

[A massive political convention center—130 meters wide, 100 meters tall, with a grand hall seating 20,000. The total height is 416 meters.]

Alberto sat up. "That's… enormous."

[You may customize its name, size, and design.]

He thought for a moment. The name "Palace of Soviets" didn't sit well with him.

"Rename it 'Empire Hall'."

As he confirmed the changes, his map expanded. His palace stood proudly, but beyond its grounds, a vast wilderness stretched for miles.

He gazed at the sprawling landscape, realizing he had a city to build, a capital for his budding empire. But the thought of planning a whole city overwhelmed him. "But I don't know how to plan a city," he admitted, feeling a little lost.

[Don't worry. I will help you with this.]

The system reassured him.

He opened the system shop, and the menu unfolded before him, a dizzying array of options. With the system's guidance, he began to build his capital. He selected the blueprints, chose the layout, and watched as the landscape transformed before his eyes. Forests were cleared, roads materialized out of thin air, and buildings, seemingly impossible in their scale and complexity, sprang up like mushrooms after a rain.

He saw towers that seemed to pierce the clouds, intricate bridges spanning wide rivers, sprawling marketplaces teeming with activity, and magnificent plazas designed for grand celebrations.
