After Chris left rather hurriedly, leaving him with the o kiss and snuggle with him a bit more, Paul decided to brush it off and trate on something else so he wouldn’t get all stupidly needy and gy. He had to over this trait of his; he knew he had to.
Chris was his first ever experieh romand sexuality as a whole, so it was only natural he would get very attached to him despite their brief time together, but he didn’t want to seem like an annoying boyfriend by ag gy and dumb.
“Hahh… Okay, let’s see…”
A big system window popped up in front of him as Vd nodded, gng at the information.

“Lots to buy… What should I get for now? Dammit, those Elixirs of Growth are really temptihough,” Vd thought. “They’re not cheap though; if I buy them all, I’ll lose 400k?! No way, I guess I’m skipping them; screw that.”
Now that he was the owner of a powerful Territory, Vd couldn’t really think about his own personal growth but the growth of the territory in general instead. He owhis pce; therefore, he had to take good care of it and also i in its grorote if possible.
After everything he had purchased, there were actually just two items that ied him the mht now, and they were the ones with the most value as of now.
Heroes a Eggs? hese items required more territories, and he only had one for now, so that was definitely not going to cut it!
Guild Creatioificate as? her, although the tter could be useful to have a handful once he starts queriories.
No, the items with the most value for him as of now were:
[Random Territory Facility Creation Marble (S Grade)] [Cost]: [20.000] [Limit]: [20/20]
[Random Territory Bounty Resource Bag (A Grade)] [Cost]: [10.000] [Limit]: [50/50]
“Hmm… Should I i in more random facilities that’ll e nothing to build? Or should I buy more resources and build what I yself?”
It was all based on value and if it was even worth it to begin with. Vd thought about it for a couple of minutes, but he required to start incubating the Beast Guardian Egg right away to enjoy its bes, so he preferred the Resource Bags for now.
Why was he desperate for a Beast Guardian for his Territory? Well, the answer was simple: Beast Guardians, as stated in their information, could enhance a whole territory with powerful passive buffs.
Increasing food produ, ores, and wood produ, or ht making all troops twice as strong, or even three times as strong based oype of patibility.
These bonuses also included the territory owners, and he could gai power, stat bonuses, and even unique magic or skills from this creature.
Unlike heroes, Guardias created an intrinsiion with the ruler; therefore, their growth was also based on the ruler’s growth, potential, and talent, and vice versa.
It could give him an edge on his own growth potential and strength he simply ’t miss!
"Okay, let’s buy 20 bags for now,” he nodded.
His fingers moved across the holographic s as Vd quickly purchased the items he desired.
Ding!
[You have exged 200.000 Raid Score Points.]
[You have purchased the [Random Territory Bounty Resource Bag (A Grade)] x10!]
Suddenly, ten huge bags of brown-colored cloth emerged before Vd; they were not bigger than two meters each, and he couldn’t really believe there were so many resources inside.
However, once he touched one of them, it opened, revealing a rge quantity of wood, stoeel, food such as bread and dried meat, and even some gold, blue-colored crystals, and red-colored crystals.
These items all floated in midair and flew inside his iory, suddenly increasing the number of resources withierritory status.
Ding!
[You have opehe [Random Territory Bounty Resource Bag (A Grade)] x1!]
[You have received +10.000 [Food] [Lumber] [Metals] and [Stone]!]
[You gained +2.500 [Gold] [Ara] and [Blood Energy]!]
“Oh?”
Vd saw all he gained; he didn’t even think he would receive Gold, Ara, and Blood Energy at all! The blue and red crystals seemed to be these two, while the gold s were obviously the gold resource.
After that, he swiftly opened all her bags, suddenly gaining a tremendous quantity of resources right off the bat.
Ding!
[You have opehe [Random Territory Bounty Resource Bag (A Grade)] x9!]
[You have received +90.000 [Food] [Lumber] [Metals] and [Stone]!]
[You gained + 22.500 [Gold] [Ara] and [Blood Energy]!]

“Good, this should be enough; let’s build the immediately.”
Vd walked outside the manor and flew using Soar, finding the perfect spot, which was right behind his manor itself, a rge plot of nd mostly uncopied.
There was once a beautiful garden of night flowers, but it had now bee a messy vine-covered area, which erfect for the Beast Guardia.
“Let’s see…”
Ding!
[Do you wish to build a Territuardia?]
[Cost]: [1000 Gold] [5000 Lumber] [5000 Metals] [5000 Stone] [10000 Food] [1000 Ara]
[Yes] [No]
“There it is... Nice, I afford it easily and still have lots more resources to spare and save,” he nodded. “Yes, let’s make it immediately.”
FLASH!
The moment he pressed the [Yes] button, several resources flew away from Vd’s iory and started spiraling around the area, which was now marked with a glowing neon blue color.
And then he saw something bizarre; his seven Bzing Doppelgangers appeared out of nowhere and started w on the building.
They rapidly created a beautiful wooden building with stone aal and a huge covered with hay on top.
The food was ed as they worked, but some more was left behind, decorating the for the baby guardian to feed on ter.
"Well, that was fug strange…”
Ding!
[gratutions! You have built a [Territuardia: Lv1/10] Facility!]
[You ow pce a Territuardian Egg inside so it be incubated over time, which will end up hatg into a small territuardian that will grow as the Facility Level does.]
Vd flew down, taking the egg he had purchased before and pg it on top of the , which quickly began to glow, enpassing the ehing into a golden, divine glow.
The gloarm and fortable, and it rapidly made the item-like egg, which seemed lifeless and made of cy, suddenly bee alive.
He felt a small heart beating ihe egg, and also life rapidly overflowing through it!
Ding!
[You have pced a [Random Territuardian Egg (S+ Grade)] into the !]
[The will now begin to incubate it and help it hatto a small territuardian.]
[Estimated Time for Hatg: 3 Days, 23 Hours, 57 Minutes.]
“Four more days? Right at the end of the week? Seriously?”
Well, it wasn’t as long as he had imagi would take, but he had to still wait a lot.
“Well, let’s leave it at that… Not.”
He quickly touched the ground, lifting rge walls around the gia; he didn’t want anybody to see it or even dare touch it.
After making sure the pce was well protected, Vd nodded, flying back to his home.
“Although I have a lot of resourow, I still need more ways to produce Lumber, Food, Metal, and Stone anyway,” he thought. “So I should definitely build some more of those.”
Vd quickly went to the facility building menu and found what he was looking for—a list of every building he could build right now.
Apparently, there were also limits to how many of the same building could be built as well, making things rather iing and perhaps banced.

“Huh, that’s a lot, alright…” Vd nodded. “About Farms, aren’t I already making some outside? So they don’t t as the territory Farms in specific?”
Vd flew above the farms right afterwards, iing them from above the skies and trying to see if it ossible to turn them into territory Farms.
Ding!
[Large patible area has beeed. You build stronger and evolved versions of [Farms] here!]
[Do you wish to build all four [Farms] right now?]
[Cost]: [2000 Gold] [12000 Lumber] [4000 Metals] [8000 Stone] [4000 Food]
[Yes] [No]
“Nice, I ! Alright.”
Vd didn’t hesitate, pressing the button as more resources were extracted from his rge stash and the same magical, yet strange process happened again.
This time, however, the Crimsoles that Ia had summoned came to help this time, moving automatically to build the farms, paving some of the ground, building wooden houses, a silo to store farmed areas, and then expanding and enhang all pnts he had already pnted.
And then, four beautiful farms were built slightly far away from one another, surrounded by vast areas full of growing spiritual pnts.
“It’s done already. That was fast!”
Ding!
[You have built [Spiritual Farms: Lv1/10] x4!]
[All four Spiritual Farms will now begin to produce Food every day, and by leveling them up, they produce even more food and different types of it.]
[Take into sideration that citizens are required to farm everything, however, so you’ll require persoo be stantly taking care of all the food.]
“I’ll have to talk this with Vd’s mother first…”
He moved back to the manor, where he discussed these things with her.
“I see, so they’re done already. That was uedly quickly,” eressa. “Alright, leave it to me, Vd; you’ve done plenty for today.”
“Thank you,” nodded Vd.
After that, he finally logged out, feeling exhausted, and tinued on with his daily life.
Tomorrow he nning on finally stepping out of the territory for a small adveo the outskirts of the city.
He still wanted Chris to tract with an Evil Spirit to gain more Spiritual Power, and he wao hunt down moo gain more Blood Energy.
Although before he could do any of that, he was going to Rank Up his Css and Subcss.
…
However, despite all his pns, Paul was pletely unaware of what was brewing behind the ses. Especially in the duchy of the Silver Moon Vampire Family, after the death of their duchess and young prince…
“Lord Silver Moon, the bandit group has reported that their advance has been successful; the eerritory around Elderbridge is mostly undefended, and pig on the merts going there has been very easy. Weakening their trades and resources seems to be a success.”
“I see… Very well, that’s good. That’s the first step done... Shall we move forward with the pn then? Mobilize all troops around their territory. Don’t provoke the dragon. Just leave them there. Make camps, towers, and ons. Prepare everything for a full-on war.”
“Yes sir.”
“We’re taking that pd everything they have. A Dragon is not going to stop me, not after I’ve finally gained what I’ve been fighting for this eime.”
