"Kukukuku . Haaargh!"

Weed was screaming while he was leading the undead .

All the money that had been released into the Arpen Empire!

– Mapan : There is a Rose Festival happening in the Free City Somren in 14 months! The local citizens are praising Emperor Weed .

"Hurry up and fight . You useless fools!"

Weed led the undead and charged through the fog forest infested with monsters .

A straight charge to the front!

Van Hawk led the death knights dressed in dark colored armor .

"Obey the overlord of death . All shall be attained through death . "

– Lemon : The users are chanting for Weed-nim! The central continent users are signing up for the Grass Porridge cult all at once .

Tears ran down Weed's face .

Weed was sorrowful and distressed .

'My money… Poured away like rain . '

The significant funds used up for the affairs had shaped the pillar stones of the Arpen Empire . Seoyoon's meticulous investments created a phenomena beyond expectations .

"Are you asking me to talk about his Highness? I feel guilty even mentioning his name . He is the great adventurer, artist and emperor who looks over us . "

"How do I think about the Arpen Empire? Last year I lived under a roof with a hole in it, rain poured through and snow piled up in my room throughout the winter . For even my house that's located in the back alleys to be repaired… The Arpen Empire is a good place without a doubt . "

"I can't believe it, but all the robbers disappeared! It's because the robbers are fed well and take naps in the day time . "

"I heard rumors that the Arpen Empire is a nation for artisans . Can it be trusted? The trade goods that derive from the north are cheap but are of acceptable quality . "

"Have you tasted the crops produced from Morata? They are extremely popular nowadays and are scarce despite their expensive price . Diligent farmers invest their sweat into the rich crop lands, and Freya's blessing over them allows us to consume them unconditionally . "

The loyalty and security of the citizens stabilized, bestowing additional beneficial effects .

The quests became more accessible for northern users that travel down to the Central Continent and artisans began the goods production for the revitalization of trade .

The Central Continent has been in decline, but there are still many developed cities .

The sudden investment of funds and the new development plans awoke the potential of the stagnant cities . Lords were appointed in most regions, but that didn't mean all the problems were resolved . The lords had to follow the legislation of the Arpen Empire and therefore, none of them could reign like kings as in the Hermes guild of the past .

In truth, many advantages came from appointing the rich folk as lords .

The lords all visited their own cities and felt something lacking about them .

"I want a beautiful river that flows through the center of the city . "

Construction immediately began in creating a river dissecting the city!

"Ore costs are expensive!? Then, just make a mine . Investment returns are slow despite the initial amount? Whatever . Just pay it . Where can the mine run off to?"





Massive mine field development .

"The buildings have decayed and many uninhabited homes are crumbling . I don't want to see that… Eh . This whole region is going to be renovated . "

The city's full-scale repair began!

In response to these projects, the gold currency rising in value on the auction sites .

Many users viewed the commercial projects run by the rich lords positively .

"Money is the best . "

"The Hermes guild was busy trying to exploit us… At least the lords are building something…"

Weed did not think poorly of the rich . Conversely, the majority despised the displays of the rich lords' lifestyles with eyes full of jealousy .

'That is because there are two kinds of rich people, those that only think of their own greed in their investments and those who think of others . The generous rich people should be respected . '

Along with that in mind, he was preparing plans to exploit those rich lords .

The so-called the 5-year lord exploitment project of the Arpen empire!

'I can drain them good by providing them with honor, dignity and pleasure . '

The big picture was framed perfectly, but even so he was sulking over the money invested in the Arpen Empire and was taking his frustration out on hunting .

< You have defeated the monsters of the Kalua dungeon .

You have accomplished a combat achievement .

Honor has increased by 2,300 .

Agility and wisdom permanently increased by 1 . >

"This dungeon took exactly 3 . 5 hours . "

This dungeon had taken the Hermes guild 4 hours to clear on the Hall of Fame .

He completed the dungeon quicker than 50 elite users, though not ones as powerful as Bard Ray .

"First off the undead do not rest, so it's only obvious that I can save time . I also looked up some walkthrough videos . "

He proceeded with dungeon hunting in between his spare time of the monster eradication .

The monsters roaming around the continent were of utmost priority, but the undead needed to be over a certain number for them to produce maximum efficiency!

– Seoyoon : There is a group of monsters 57 minutes away

"Okay . I got it . "

Weed while swinging his sword, also practiced using golem summoning, various curses, buffs and poison type skills .

With the elite skeletal soldiers as the base, death knights and doom knights spawned on occasion .

He would push through dungeons with a snowballing number of undeads .





He had the ability to react quickly and make decisions no matter what situation . He also has impressive control over the undead with an indomitable charisma .

– Maray : I am at Ingoten City . The citizens of this region are all praising Weed-nim .

In the midst of his hunt, he received a whisper .

"… . . ?"

– Maray : You distributed ample food and provided accommodation for 30,000 starving citizens .

"Aggghh!"

– Jean : Holy… You dug a well in the nearby hunting grounds of Fortress Vargo . I was annoyed at having to return all the way to the fortress when I ran out of water . Thank you so much .

"Waaaaah!"

– Miretas : I can maintain the breeding stations and greenhouses in Morata

thanks to my skills, but your consideration of the novice players really shows through .

Weed cried out loudly .


– Gamong : The Central continent merchants are praising Weed-nim . The placement of wagon storage stations and bulls at each city was the best decision for trade!

Tears ran like rivers down Weed's face .

"I think it's this way . "

"I never knew such a path existed . "

"We call this the adventure route . This is a shortcut that cuts through the mountains and forest . It is safe to tread even at night and most importantly, it's quick . "

A famous adventurer, Chase .

He was taking Seasoned Crabs and Python along on the journey .

As honorary scouts of the Grass Porridge cult, they heard of dangerous monsters being frequently spotted from the Britten alliance .

The monsters weren't typical such as the goblins and fierce wolves that had multiplied recently .

They received reports of large and medium sized monsters with grotesque shapes roaming around in the thousands .

Lemon of the Grass Porridge asked:

"Please, confirm the monsters' precise numbers and combat level . The monsters are crossing the Varq mountain pass covered by the forest, so it will be difficult for the avians to aid us . "

The Britten region was just on the other end of the Varq mountain pass .

SeasonedCrabs and Python thought nothing peculiar would happen, but decided to check anyway because it was a troubled time .

'Shall we take a little walk? It's better than going on a hunt with Weed . '

'I want to rest for now . Soak in the world's scenery . '





Despite the large increase of northern users, the population density of central users was dominant .

They were even gathered near the edge of the Garnav plains, so they came along with SeasonedCrabs, Python and the adventurer Chase to Varq mountain pass .

Python observed the thick forest and spoke .

"It seems quiet, like nothing is there . "

"Shh . "

Chase laid his finger over his lips .

Bulky Python crouched low and asked in a low voice .

"Why? Is there something there?"

"It's not that, but there is a strange feeling? . "

"Strange feeling?"

"There is a skill called the adventurer's sense . When I am in dangerous locations, I get shivers down the spine . However, right now…"

"How do you feel?"

"It feels cold like I'm frozen . "

Python quietly shut his mouth and prepared his hands on the broadsword .

Chase skimmed the surroundings and SeasonedCrabs slid through the shadows .

"I'll take a look around . "

"It will be dangerous . "

"I will be careful not to be discovered . I'm confident in escaping from anywhere, so do not be concerned . "

Assassin SeasonedCrabs moved without making any noise from his footsteps .

He did not see anything abnormal in a few dozen meters nearby .

'Nothing much… But I must look further . '

He found small animals such as squirrels, and bird nests on tree branches . He advanced further and saw a ravine below mountain pass .

Seasoned Crabs doubted his own eyes at first .

He witnessed blue skinned lizard men swarming, hopping towards the West .

'Monster!'

He thought of getting in close to observe, but he also caught a glimpse of draconic warriors among the crowd of monsters .

'Dragonoids . That must mean they are Kaybern's immediate forces?'

He heard more bizarre noises from the skies .

"Kuuuaaaack!"

"Kuuuu-wek!"

Strange creatures looking like a chimera of a human and a bird were flying around .

'Mothmen . '

A malignant creature recorded in the history books of the Versaille continent .

No user had the chance to face the creature ever in the creation of Royal Road .

– Mothmen are monsters with the form of a devil and human combined .

It has high intelligence and loves to use magic .

It swallows living creatures whole…

He knew of this creature because it was mentioned in various parts of the historical transcripts .

A war broke out between the human kingdoms and supposedly sealed all mothmen, in deep darkness . Now, they had been freed by Kaybern .

Seasoned Crabs finished scouting and returned quietly to his comrades .

"Monsters related to Kaybern are on the move . Quite significant in numbers . There are a lot of them with just a quick glance, and I suspect their numbers are over ten thousand . There are powerful ones like mothmen among them . "

"As I expected . "

Chase nodded his head, then continued .

"Even on our side, we received news a moment ago . We heard that a huge wave of monsters are moving from the dwarven kingdom Thor .

"From Thor?"

"Yes . They are ignoring the dwarves and are on the move to the nearby cities . "

Monsters were actively on the move in all parts of the continent .

They were headed towards the cities, descending from Thor with lots of mountain terrains and every other massive mountain passes in the central continent .
