  “Mass produce equipment?! Seriously?” wondered Chris. “How is that possible, though?”

  “Well, you see, the Bzing Doppelganger Skill is pretty handy; they i a part of my Stats and also use several of my Skills, they imitate my movements, dexterity, and everything else with almost 100% accuracy,” Paul expined. “So as long as I show them what to do, they’ll e and be able to reproduce it almost perfectly themselves.”

  Paul poi the four Bzing Doppelgangers, who were w on the armor. One of them shaped their internal fmes into a mold so the molteal could flow seamlessly.

  The fragments of the previous armor melted out and merged with mithril and other metals, creating a bination of deep bd purple colors that quickly took shape within the Bzing Doppelganger.

  The other three were also doing the same. A full body armor had several parts to it after all; one of them was taking care of the chest pte and the shoulders, another of the helmet and the gloves, a third of the greaves and armor parts, and the fourth was f something rger and sturdier.

  “Woah, this is pretty cool; they’re doing everything iheir own bodies,” said Chris. “You don’t eveo use a smithy.”

  “Yeah, and because they use my own Alchemy and other crafting Skills, they’re able to produce it within their own bodies,” Paul expined. “Hence, if I make more of them, it’ll be possible to mass produce equipment very quickly, as long as we have materials for it.”

  “Huh…” Chris nodded while rubbing his little . “We got a big stash of materials for not, but those are going to run out eventually. Where we secure more, though?”

  “The best bet would be to purchase them from a mert,” said Paul. “There’s a rge free market going on iy right now. We should go visit it and see if we make some deals regarding materials with the merts. However, to even begin doing this, we need soldiers to wield the ons. Loyal soldiers, and that won’t be easy to get... unless...”

  “Unless?” wondered Chris, tilting his head cutely as he flew around the room.

  “Unless I use those items from the Raid Shop, cim this pce as my territory, and use the Territory Ma System abilities to quite literally summon forces and heroes to protect the city,” smiled Paul. “Get it?”

  “Right!” Chris became a bit excited. “If we could do that, we could easily improve the city’s defenses and security even more! …I mean, Argentia is there though; I guess that’s a lot of security by itself.”

  "Yes, but he ’t be in every pce at the same time,” said Paul. “He’s strong and big, but if the city is attacked again, he might only be able to deal with a single group; roups ing from different areas won’t be easily stopped, and before he eveo them, they might already trample half the city. Worse, they could bring someorong enough to beat him. I mean, it’s not too hard either. He’s definitely strohan the average NPd Monster, but there’s certainly bigger fish out there.”

  “True…” Chris nodded. “So what’s the pn then? You make your armor and shield then…”

  “Then we go to the farms,” said Paul with a smile.

  “The farms?!” asked Chris. “Weren’t we going to kill thugs?”

  “I first o secure the city’s own ability to feed itself,” said Paul. "Retly, from what I’ve learned from Vd’s mother, food has bee scarcer. Vampires have it easy because we just drink blood, but it’s not the same for the rest of the popution. Did you know? Elderbridge is a pretty diverse city; it has a sizable popution of Werewolves, Werecats, Night and Moon Elves, Imps and Devils, Dhampirs and Blood Elves, Orcs, and Goblins, and more. And what do all of these have in on? Unlike Vampires and Incubus they o eat solid food. Potatoes, rice, bread, a.”

  “Meat be secured through hunting and cattle,” said Chris. “But yeah, those purple rid the red potatoes… They only grow oile soil, and I bet this pce’s not too easy to make fertile.”

  “Yeah, retly the soil had bee very dry and uile,” said Paul. “The reason why I chose a Farmer Subcss was to solve this very big problem before a plete famis Elderbridge and our popution plumets. We o take care of our people; there’s only a bit over two thousand after all.”

  “T-That’s a lot, though…” muttered Chris.

  “The rger cities have hundreds of thousands; the capital has millions of citizens,” said Paul. “So it’s a big difference. Elderbridge is rather small in parison. We have to quickly find ways to both feed our people and make them feel fortable enough to make families and, therefore, create more popution. Then we expand the city, the dungeon raiding, the products we extract from it, and so on. Ohe citizens are well fed and happy, the city begin flourishing. Stronger armies, guardians, and even heroes proteg us. Then we began produg our own products. Armor, ons, accessories, potions, elixirs… The ey will rise, and so will our position within the Empire.”

  “Y-You’ve pnned so far?” Chris gasped, uo believe how insane Paul was. “All for just a game, dude… You’re such a weirdo, haha! But I like that! You’re smart; do you like civilization games or something?”

  “I love them; I used to py them all the time a few years ago,” Paul said. “The only reason I stopped is because I ended up pying them all... But yeah, seeing how realistic everything is while still melding with magid game-like meics makes it very fun tize a “golden road” we’ll take to improve everything. Also, wouldn’t iing iy also give us money? If we exge items and credits for mohen if roduce a lot and make the city rich…”

  “W-We bee rich too?!” Chris finally uood one of Paul’s goals. “Right, thousands, no, tens, hundreds of thousands of dolrs! If we produu such a rge scale... You’re right!”

  “You’ve been helping me all this time so far,” said Paul, extending his hand towards Chris, who gently held it and quickly stopped flying.

  Then he grabbed Chris hips and gnced into his eyes.

  “I’m willing to share a part of all these earnings with you, of course,” the handsome vampire prince smiled. “I wouldn’t eveate to marry you; we could govern Elderbridge and the kingdom I’m pnning to bee together.”

  “E-Eh?” Chris blushed as he felt the intense gaze of Paul’s vampiric eyes. “Really? But… Um, ah, isn’t this a bit too much role py?”

  “It’s fun, though,” said Paul. “It could als several bes so…”

  “I-I’ll think about it, ok? But don’t get too ahead of yourself…!” Chris grew redder as he gently pushed Paul back. “B-But being the king of a kingdom… it wouldn’t be so bad. I could gain a lot of popurity too; imagine... The revenue from our videos and the unity we could build too…”

  “Yeah, it could bee a big thing,” said Paul. “I might have started as a sickly prince, but a prinoheless. A Lord of a Territory. This randomized Avatar might be the best ever… Incredibly unfair upbringing pared to other Pyers too.”

  “You don’t say! Even mine is a bit weird too, the son of a brothel prostitute succubus, who is actually also the son of the Fairy King of another whole realm…” said Chris. “I might also have the potential to get into that spectrum of politics. It could really be useful…”

  “Yeah,” said Paul. “Vd is nobility, a prince, and teically, you’re also a prince of the Fairy Kingdom of Fantasia. Teically, if we get married and you’re raised into a Royal Status, you could ask a whole other Realm’s Kingdom for your birthright. A piece of the Kingdom for yourself. We could even expand to another Realm…”

  “R-Really?” Chris gasped. “Paul, aren’t you way too ambitious?! Where did all that ambition and fidene from? You’re such a cute and awkward guy IRL but what the hell?”

  “A-Ah? Well, when it es to games and other stuff, I do get pretty serious…” Paul became a bit embarrassed, blushing. “Is it weird? Sorry…”

  “Hmm~ Nah! It's still pretty cool, I think,” Chris smiled cutely. “I like that cool side~ e here.”

  “Hm?” Paul felt embarrassed as Chris called for him and kissed his lips. “Chris…”

  “I like that... Keep going; I love ambitious men,” Chris smiled. “You’re cute too, but... that other side is really damn hot. I’ll follow you the’s see where your ambitions take us. To a bright future... or maybe to the death of our Avatars.”

  “Ah… It sure is going to be hard, but thank you,” Paul held Chris hands. “I know that if you’re by my side, I aplish anything.”

  “Y-You bastard…” Chris blushed. “S-Stop flirting with me like that!”

  “Hahaha! What’s wrong?” giggled Paul. “We’re going to get married, right?”

  “I-In game!” cried Chris. “And it’s kind of just a rolepy thingy! A-And… I haven’t even decided! Ugh! Anyways! How’s your armor doing? Oep at a time, dude. I doubt we’ll go to the farms right away, right?”

  "Actually, yeah, it's still not too te, right?” said Paul. “So we should go check them out before bed.”

  “Paul! Tomorrow we have college, and it's early in the m too. Don’t stay until too te, ok?” Chris sighed, crossing his arms as if he were a ed wife for her hard-w husband.

  “I get it; don’t worry,” Paul smiled, patting his head. “You’re so cute when you worry about me... Please marry me already.” He hugged him.

  “C-Cut it out with the marriage thingy already… How’s your armor doing? Answer my questions, geez!”

  “Ah, right…”

  The Bzing Doppelgangers were already taking e pieces of armor from their bodies. Their own fmes became less bright, cooling dowals and then pg them over a barrel with agic liquid to magically ent and cool down the armor pieces.

  FRSSSHHH…!

  Ohey were cooled down, Vd quickly took them all out. The shiny bd purple armor pieces were roughly 80% done; he had to do the other 20%, whicluded sharpening the edges, refining all the fancy decorations he wao add, and imprinting all the magical runes.

  “Easy right? 80% of the entire work is done already,” Vd smiled. “I’m just going to finish it off quickly; I’ll get it done ihan an hour.”

  “Gotcha…” Chris nodded. "Then, while you’re at that, I’ll practice alchemy. You said I had to learn more useful Skills like that, right? I’ll follow this book…”

  “Ah, good boy! I see you’re being more hardw as well!” Paul was full of happiness.

  “I-I’m just doing it to ease the burden; you ’t do everything!” Chris sighed.

  As the incubus crafted potions on the rge alchemy cauldroiced the Bzing Doppelgangers already w on another piece, a huge shield.

  “So how many you summon? Do they ana? How tough are they? You haven’t told me any of that yet,” said Chris.

  “Right… Look at their Skill description.” Paul sent the system window to Chirs as the curious incubus checked it out.

  “Huh…” Chris nodded. “It’s really good! I want this too! So unfair!”

  “Hahaha, too bad; I ended up using that Skill Book,” Paul ughed.

  Like that, half an hour passed, and Chris saw a new notification as he finished making his tenth Lesser Health and Ara Potions.

  Ding!

  [Enough Skill Proficy has been gathered; you learhe [Alchemy (D): Lv1] Skill!]

  “Nice! I got it, Paul! Paul! I got it!”

  Chris celebrated, annoying Paul as he just fihe armor.

  “Okay, okay, well done; grats, Chris.”

  Paul gently patted the incubus head and praised him.

  Chris loved being praised; he sought attention more than anything.

  “Are you done?”

  “Yep, done already. I’ll pce the armor on my iory, though,” said Paul. “It would be a bit intimidating to walk around with it; it’s even rger and heavier thaher. I think I might have gooo far…”

  “Hahaha! Anyway, let’s go to the farms now! Dinner’s ready in like twenty minutes in my house, we’re eating sushi today!” Chris said.

  “Huh, lucky you…” Paul sighed. “Alright, let’s go flying then.”

  The two lovebirds flew into the sky with both magid their natural wings, reag the outskirts of Elderbridge, several kilometers of abandoned farms, and small vilges where the farmers lived, who ended up moving ihe city.

  “Woah, this pce sure looks fug desoted…” Chris looked around.

  “Yeah,” Paul said. “Well, let’s try it right away with these skills!”

  Without even waiting a single sed, Paul kneeled and touched the soil.

  “{Blessing of the Martial Spirits of Harvest}”

  FLAAASH!
