Chapter 2

  Lucas continued on with his five demon minions and as he walked, he could feel the tug grow stronger. Because it was tutorial, there weren’t many monsters and he avoided most that they did see.

  Eventually the group reached the place with where the source of the pull was coming from. The location was a random rocky flat space.

  During the travels, the terrain changed from badlands to rocky mountains. Around their feet were lots of rocks and short vegetation. The flat space was half way down into a valley between a few mountains. For a small village it was a good place.

  Lucas stopped and thought deeply. He could go on and find more suitable places or he could choose a safe place.

  After a minute of deep though, he suddenly felt a faint tug on his horns. Each horn was feeling it going a different direction. It was much stronger but with it, a deeper sense of danger came instantly helping Lucas make up his mind.

  “Greed is the downfall of man. I don’t even have enough minions to properly fight.” he said.

  He ordered the demon to walk to the center zone and put him down.

  On the ground, he crawled just a bit before reaching the exact center.

  “Demon heart!” he said.

  Woo!

  In between his tiny fingerless hands, a small thumping crystal not even half a centimeter appeared with a strong red glow.

  It slowly lowered into the ground and sank into it.

  He smiled when he got to name his capital. He has always gone with one name for his capital every time. This name came about because of how insane he thought of the world and his policy is always a strong public order.

  “The city name is Sanity.” he said.

  “...” Lucas, or Akor, started at the notice and looked up at the sky, “What was that solemn death flag introduction for!?” he shouted into the heavens but got no answer.

  WOOO!

  Suddenly, from below, a red light shot up into the sky and burst releasing a wave into the world. As the energy returned to the ground, it began to enter Akor’s body.

  His eyes popped open but his voice was trapped in his throat.

  Just as Akor finished reading he blacked out. Of course, due to it being a tutorial, the so called hibernation was simple a fast forward.

  Soon he opened his eyes and found he was in a small cavernous building. When he turned around, he found a small crystal floating in the air. A faint red light around it slowly drew in a small stream from the ground below it and released the red light which would flow into Akor.

  He looked down and was surprised by his own body changes. First off he was double his previous size. His torso had developed and his lower body had fully formed with two small feet. His arms were a bit longer and he had five baby sized finger. He looked like a 9 month old baby in size but as he stood up he felt his control was pretty good.

  Of course, no matter how good he was his true height is 160 cm tall and he was barely 40 cm tall from head to feet. The size difference was too different and he began to waddle like a child.

  “Status.” he said.

  Seeing how his status had increased and matched the minions, pretty much, now he waved the screen away.

  With the instructions Akor opened the screen for the Demon management.

  The minion screen opened automatically.

  The management menu closed and reopened to the Demon Town menu.

  All the screens closed upon finishing the page of the tutorial.

  Akor turned to the door and wobbled about until he was able to reach the door. From the inside, it was like a blinding light but as he walked out, the light subsided and he could see the surroundings.

  What he saw made him think of a camp instead of a village. His own house was a mound of dirt and rocks, with the house itself being dug out from the rocks and dirt below the mound. To the left was a strange pile of sticks and dried grass, which came from the surroundings which were cleared of all weeds and grass making an empty area, and a small round building made of grass and dirt which the demons were hanging around sleeping.

  Seeing that he was finally released from the tutorial, Akor sighed. He sat down and began to review everything he learned before standing up.

  “Alright, so i need to reach level 10, that is a good loophole i guess. I bet there is a limit though like my minions levels.” He muttered and looked at the minions.

  He walked back inside his home and went to the heart and opened the demon management and the town settings.

  Finally he choose the Town management to start developing the town.

  Looking at the list, he was actually very shocked when he saw that section about the fields. That said, after thinking about it, it did make sense because he needed a stable food source to feed the minions. Although they are known for eating anything, this works out in this case.

  “Let’s start by making four fields.” He said and used all the wood in the village and choose four spaces just outside the clear space.

  The space was square shaped and surprisingly this space began to glow on the map that opened but the demons didn’t even move.

  Akor scratched his head before a light bulb lit in his head. He made sure the construction was confirmed and went to the Minion quest.

  “Yes.” he said

  “All the current minions must clear the land to make the farms and then build them.” he said.

  Ding!

  This was a rather novel feeling. An official quest given by a player, something usually restricted to npc towards humans.

  He closed the screens and ran outside. In his view, he could see a space lit up and the demons were waking up with grumbles and gibberish grumbling.

  He walked behind them to watch to see how they did the work.
