The moment Vd decided to use some of the items he obtained from the first Raid Shop, which were vital for his Territory to finally gain some strength and resources, several messages popped up.
Ding!
[You’re about to use the [Random Territory Facility Creation Marble (S Grade)], please assign an area withierritory map where you want this building to be made.]
[The Territory Map is now being showcased. There are several areas you select where you build the facilities. Green-colored areas are where you’ll be able to struct without problems; red-colored areas are where there might be issues preventing the stru that o be solved.]
FLASH!
Suddenly, a whole map of Elderbridge appeared in front of him, and any green-colored spot was good to build the facility.
“Okay, nice… Hmm.”
Vd immediately noticed that right now there was a lot of nd to pce territories; even nd outside the walls somehow ted as part of the territory of Elderbridge, so he could literally pce these facilities anywhere outside and not waste spaside the walls.
However, he would prefer if it were inside, he walls, so the facilities would be protected from attacks from monsters or bandits.
“All of the west area of the walls is destroyed, and nobody is living there; let’s pick this area.”
The west area was where the barbarians had invaded a couple days ago; the houses there had been burned and had yet to be fully restructed, so there was a lot of empty nd in there.
Most people that survived that attack from that area of the city had evacuated to other houses or pces already. So it erfect “free” area for him to pything he wanted withiy.
“There…”
Ding!
The moment he chose the area by toug it with his index finger, a little chiming sound reverberated from the map, and then the marble floated in midair and flew away. He could still see it moving through the map, reag the area he assigned. Chris flew out of the window, seeing the whole show with his eyes.
FLAAASH!
Ohe marble reached its designated point, it immediately exploded in a fsh ht light, rapidly materializing a huge building out of nowhere. It required no materials and no energy; everything necessary for the facility’s creation was already tained within the miraculous, magical item.
FLUOSH!
Vd saw the building rapidly materialize withierritory map as a beautiful building made of pixels, while Chris saw the real deal with his eyes—how every piece of wood, metal, and everything just materialized out of thin air and got together.
Ultimately, the building resembled a huge metallic tower with a rge blue-colored crystal standing on top of it and several tubes ected; the backside of the building resembled an old factory.
Vd’s eyes widened as he realized what buildi!
Today was definitely his lucky day.
Ding!
[gratutions! You have used the [Random Territory Facility Creation Marble (S Grade)] x1 and created the Random Facility: [Ara Factory: Lv1/10]!]
It was an Ara Factory, a special and hard-to-make facility early, which he got immediately!
With this, he’ll be able to produce Ara for the eerritory.
“Nice! We got a good ht away!” Paul celebrated, smiling and sighing in relief as he ran out of the window, using Soar to g the distah Chris. “Oh wow, it looks so rad from afar!”
“…Isn’t this just Gacha?” Chris wondered, raising an eyebrow. “It literally is, isn’t it?!”
“Yeah, that’s why it’s fun.” Paul ughed, quickly taking out yet another marble. “So let’s use the ones right away!”
He had purchased five marbles, and there were four left. He quickly used them all at once by assigning their areas within the map close to the Ara Factory.
“Let’s go!”
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Four new buildings appeared he Ara Factory, surging like t facilities of different shapes and sizes, but that eae had rather unique designs.
Ding!
[gratutions! You have used the [Random Territory Facility Creation Marble (S Grade)] x1 and created the Random Facility: [Bloodshed Sanctuary: Lv1/10]!]
A huge church-like building with a crimson cross in front of it, surrounded by spikes with blood materialized, pletely made out of bck bricks.
[gratutions! You have used the [Random Territory Facility Creation Marble (S Grade)] x1 and created the Random Facility: [Mine: Lv1/10]!]
A hill grew out of the ground, made of gray stone and dirt and covered on some grass and trees; there was a cave leading inside of it, with shinials inside.
[gratutions! You have used the [Random Territory Facility Creation Marble (S Grade)] x1 and created the Random Facility: [Quarry: Lv1/10]!]
A small open area with huge gray and bck colored stones emerged out of nowhere; each stone looked breakable with a strong enough pickaxe.
[gratutions! You have used the [Random Territory Facility Creation Marble (S Grade)] x1 and created the Random Facility: [Research ter: Lv1/10]!]
And stly, a small school-like building materialized, with a blue rooftop and big windows.
“And it’s done…” Vd nodded. “hey’re all buildings that are perfect… In fay building would have been good.”
“What the hell? How is a Mine and a Quarry a building though?” Chris wondered. “H-How does that even work?" Do they just turn back to normal onine resources out of them?”
“No, they’re ily game-like, so like in these games, you mine infinitely from them,” expined Paul. “But they probably have some cooldown after they run out of materials, and their produ speed might not be too fast either? Maybe like a few little ores and stones a day.”
“That’s still pretty insane!” said Chris. "Okay, what’s ?”
“I’m pnning to use those Hero Summoning Tickets or the Guardian Eggs… but first I have to cheething else, the buildings status themselves.”
Vd quickly swiped his hand and touched the buildings within the pixeted map.
Ding!

"Oh, so that’s how it works… And there’s booo? Ooh, and it even gives EXP to just make one?!”
Paul quickly learned how a Ruler Level aory Level increased, and it was all through building more stuff.
“So that’s how it works, alright…”
Above all, he also learned he o feed the Mana Factory a lot of monster materials so it could produce the Ara to begin with.
For now, that wasn’t an issue, though. If he could keep the factory at full capacity, feeding it materials and fuel, he would actually gain 200 Ara per day and not 100.
“And the others…?”

"Oh, this one also requires sacrifices, but they go towards the Crimson Moon Goddess!” nodded Paul.
“Wait really? Now that’s iing…” Chris nodded. “And those bonuses… do they really make people happy? They look scary!”
"Well, Obscuritas is by itself a dark, scary realm, so I bet people find it appealing somewhat,” expined Paul. “But damn, the level-up cost is high…”
“It literally produces Blood Energy which I’m fairly sure be used for you to Rank Up, right? So it’s obviously going to be expe’s like a passive EXP geor.” Chris said.

"Okay, so that’s how it works…” Vd nodded. “I research certain things and increase their produ quantity, while also unlog the ability to further level up these buildings reted to each research. At the same time, I also increase the research ter level so the research level also increase… That’s fun.”
“Fun? Sounds like tedious work…” groaned Chris.
"Well, maybe it is for you,” ughed Paul. “Now what do I do? I should probably go offer a blood sacrifid also give the factory some "fuel,” then we should gather people that could mihe metals and stones. We’ll have to pay them with Credits for that…. Or I could do that myself.”
“Yourself? Ah…” Chris muttered. “Right.”
“Yeah… Bzing Doppelgangers,” said Paul with a smile. “Go and mine me some metals and stones.”
After summoning five of them, he sent them to mihey didn’t even require tools, using their own fmes shaped as pickaxes and solidifying them with their magic powers to break the stones.
K! K! K!
They had already begun w; the loud sound of the mines and the quarry being mined was quite annoying; luckily not many people lived nearby anyways.
At the same time, Vd moved to the Bloodshed Sanctuary, entering the abandoned ruined churterior, and finding a crimson-colored altar with the statue of what resembled a vampire with long bck wings and a halo resembling a moon; her eyes were covered by a blindfold.
“A statue of Achlys, huh?” he said. “Alright, I offer this as a sacrifice.”
Vd pced a huge corpse on top of the altar, that of a giant armored beast.
The statue’s eyes glowed bright red as it opes mouth and suddenly sucked the corpse’s blood pletely.
FLUOSH!
[The Altar of the Goddess has accepted your sacrifice. The Bloodshed Sanctuary will now produce 100 Blood Energy every day for 7 days.]
