First fight and discovery

Exploring the Territory and Gaining Power

As Shin and his troops prepared to leave the territory, a familiar voice echoed in his mind—the same voice he heard upon reincarnating.

"Hello, all new lords of Alros," the voice announced. **"My name is Gavin, a messenger of the gods. This is a decree from the gods and goddesses. You will have a 30-day protection period. For the first ten nights, there will be monster attacks at night. Defend your territory well, for each victory will reward you with treasure chests and experience for yourself and your troops.

"These treasure chests will grant you valuable gifts to strengthen both yourself and your territory. After surviving the first night, you will unlock access to the message board, trade, and auction functions. Every ten days, the monster waves will increase in strength. On the tenth day, a ranking function will be enabled to show the top five lords in the following categories: most monsters killed, overall territory strength, wealth, and territory level."**

Gavin's message ended, leaving Shin deep in thought.

"Alright," Shin declared. "We're splitting into four groups. Spread out and begin exploring."

A Surprise from His Wives

Just as Shin was about to lead his troops out, Velzard and Shego flew down from the sky and landed gracefully beside him.

"We want to go with you," Velzard said with a soft smile.

"We'll take the north," Shego added, her emerald eyes gleaming.

Shin chuckled. "Alright, let's move."

Hunting and Gathering Resources

As they ventured north, Shin's group came across a herd of wild boars.

"Take this group back to the territory," Shin ordered a few soldiers. "We'll keep pushing forward."

While moving deeper into the territory, Shin directed some soldiers to cut down trees and gather wood. Soon after, one of the soldiers spotted a goblin sentry nearby and quickly informed Shin.

"Take it out quietly," Shin commanded, then sent scouts to locate the goblin tribe.

(Ding! Ri Shin has killed first-level jackals. +5 EXP.)

(Ding! Kyou Kai killed five first-level goblins. +5 EXP.)

(Ding! Dragonborn soldiers killed a goblin and a jackal. +10 EXP.)

A Water Source and More Discoveries

Kyou Kai soon returned with news.

"My lord, we found a water source. Do you want to connect it to the lake?"

"Yes," Shin responded immediately.

Soon after, the scouts returned with valuable intel.

"Lord Shin," one scout reported, "we've found several points of interest: a pack of wolves, a group of horses, a herd of sheep, a mine, and the goblin tribe."

Shin quickly divided the tasks.

"Velzard, take a group of soldiers and eliminate the goblin tribe. Shego, lead a team to secure the mine. I'll take care of the livestock."

Velzard Destroys the Goblin Tribe

Velzard and her group moved swiftly toward the goblin tribe. It didn't take long before they completely wiped out the goblins.

Among the spoils, they found a group of captive women who had not been touched yet and some valuable supplies.

"Take everything of value," Velzard ordered. "Let's head back to the territory."

(Ding! Goblin tribe destroyed. +20 EXP.)

Shego and the Mine

Shego, meanwhile, had reached the mine and used her flames to illuminate the cavern. As she moved deeper into the mine, she encountered a horde of cave spiders.

"Annoying pests," she muttered before incinerating them effortlessly.

(Ding! Killed a horde of cave spiders. +15 EXP.)

After confirming that the mine was clear, a system notification popped up.

(Ding! Cleared a small stone and iron mine. Do you want to move it to your territory? Y/N.)

Shego was stunned for a moment before responding, "Yes."

To her surprise, the entire mine vanished.

"What just happened?" she murmured, deciding to return to Shin and ask if he knew what occurred.

A New Companion: Nina

While making his way to the herd of sheep, Shin stumbled upon a red and gold nine-tailed fox.

"What's this?" he mused, picking up the beautiful creature.

"I'll name you… Nina."

The moment he spoke her name, a flash of light surrounded the fox. When the light faded, Nina stood on two feet, transformed into a stunning woman.

She wore a revealing dress that highlighted her voluptuous figure. Her double-D breasts and curvy backside made her presence impossible to ignore.

"Master," Nina purred before jumping into Shin's arms and kissing him passionately.

Shego's Jealousy

Just then, Shego landed nearby, her emerald eyes narrowing as she witnessed Nina's affectionate display.

"Seriously?" Shego muttered, her tone laced with irritation. "I leave you alone for a short time, and you're already creating more women? Couldn't you find a male animal first?"

Shin chuckled, attempting to ease the situation.

"Shego, I swear, she was just a normal fox before I named her."

Shego raised an eyebrow but leaned in close, whispering in his ear.

"You better have enough stamina tonight… because we're not sleeping."

Shin smirked, feeling a surge of anticipation.

"Understood, my little emerald."

The Mystery of the Vanishing Mine

"By the way," Shego added, her expression turning serious, "how did that mine disappear? I went to check it out, and the next thing I knew, it was gone."

Shin nodded knowingly.

"I received a system notification asking if I wanted to move the mine to our territory. I said yes, and it disappeared."

Shego's eyes widened.

"So we can move resources directly into our territory…" she murmured. "This is huge."

"Exactly," Shin replied with a grin. "Now, let's go secure that livestock."

A Kingdom on the Rise

With new allies, a stronger army, and a growing territory, Shin was slowly but surely shaping the Kingdom of Legends into a force to be reckoned with.

"This is only the beginning," Shin murmured as they moved toward their next target. "Our rise to power has only just begun."
