Nameless King

"What? Monsters are going to be a part of life?" Marco was shocked to hear such a thing.

"Of course, there's no surprise in that since, at the moment, the monsters are in our territory. The situation at Overion should be the same as the main bases. There should be no monsters walking freely in the streets here. Only controlled Dungeons and Nests." Gisle said.

"Can you really do something like that?"

"Yes, there are far more strong people in our organization than dangerous monsters. Gradually, the tide is turning in our favor. In a few weeks, there will be virtually no monsters in the eastern, southern, and western parts, except for Dungeons and Nests."

"That's cool..."

Gisle nodded, "I want people in this city to be able to live peacefully and not worry about anything to increase their power. This is necessary to make Overion a great city. Perhaps something more terrible than the apocalypse will happen in the future."

'Hmm, Gisle still doesn't have the Seal of Darkness, though that's not surprising. He should visit a Dungeon and try to pass the test of the World of Darkness there. I wonder if I can summon him to my Void' Wain pondered.

Wain had gotten the Seal of Darkness a long time ago, and he had never wondered how many other people had the Seal of Darkness besides him. Nor did he know if all other races had the seal, or only a select few.

'There are two possibilities here, either they originally have the Seal of Darkness or something similar, or they don't need it. If all owners of Voids have Seal of Darkness, that makes sense. In that case, monsters and other races don't need the Seal. They can be summoned into their Void by the owner.' Wain pondered.

Wain closed his eyes, and the next moment his Seal of Darkness glowed brightly. He was curious to see who would react to it.

Only two people noticed it, Teresa and Vineta. They suddenly felt pressure coming from Wain and then realized that his Seal of Darkness was the reason.

Girls frowned, and Wain, on the contrary, smiled faintly. Teresa and Vineta didn't understand why there was such a significant difference between their seals.

They, unlike Wain, were not yet engaged in exploring the World of Darkness and conquering territories.

"Okay, back on topic. Marco, you're a farmer. How much do you estimate your abilities? What can you do?" Gisle asked.

"I only recently activated my Soul Altar, so I don't know how much potential I have, but even now, I can be very useful. My soul is called Moon Farmer, and it's partially related to my abilities."

"Tell me. I, no, we all listen to you carefully."

"I have several abilities, all but one of them attack related to farming. First, I can plow land ten times faster than a normal person. I can also do it almost anywhere. Even if it's concrete, I can use the earth that's deep under the concrete to replace it."

Gisle nodded.

"Secondly, I can plant quickly and remotely. Also, as a passive effect, the growth rate of all plants is greatly increased, both day and night. Also, if the plants I planted and the soil I plowed come under the moonlight, all effects are multiplied. That's all for now." Marco said.

"Great, we have an extensive supply of seeds of various vegetables, grains, herbs, fruits, and berries. Now we can finally use them. Marco, you're our lifeline. When can you get to work?"

"Oh, I don't know, probably as soon as you say, but I'd like to spend some time with my sister."

"Sure, that's no problem. My people will pick out a suitable area and prepare the seeds for now. Gratitude, you and Hana are dismissed. I dare not detain you any longer."

Marco nodded, and Hana bowed, after which they left the hall.

Wain exhaled a puff of smoke and asked, "Gisle, Marco's appearance is a pleasant surprise, but for what reason are you gathered here?"

"Sorry to interrupt, but who is this man?" Suddenly a guy standing behind Gisle said.

"I have the same question." Said the girl standing behind Vineta.

These two and several others in the room were not familiar with Wain. To them, he was an outsider who suddenly barged in during the discussion and spoke on equal footing with their leaders.

They were wary of him.

"Huh, well, I'll tell you." Gisle muttered, "However, my answer will be brief. This man is the strongest among us, and it is in your own best interest to shut your mouths and not disturb him."

At first, Gisle spoke calmly, but his tone grew coarser, and his eyes grew colder with each word. People flinched and looked at Wain.

He did not react to the situation in any way, he continued to smoke and enjoy the aroma.

"Wain, we're going to attack the south part and take over the military base." Elsa said.

"Oh, that's good. I was just going that way, but I had to turn around since I suddenly ran into Marco."

"Yeah, there's an island coming up, and we have to hurry." Gisle said.

"The island...right, I forgot something." Wain muttered and closed his eyes.

A paper map emitting a blue glow flew out of his chest the next moment. The card flew into Gisle's body before returning to Wain.

"Huh, so you found the last part. Great, now we know everything, but damn... How far away is the island."

"Yeah, we need at least a helicopter, but preferably a plane."

"Good, then let's not delay. We have to take over the south in three days. That's the deadline. We should have a few days to prepare, we should be among the first to arrive on the island." Gisle uttered.

"Gisle, are you sure?" Vineta asked.

"Of course, Wain will be with us, so we have nothing to worry about. By the way, Wain, do you know what's going on in the tourist region of the south part? I don't have any information about that place."

"I don't know much. There are two organizations in the south, one in the slums the other in the tourist region. I think the military base belongs to them, but you'd better ask Marco about that. He probably knows better than I do."

"Good, then everyone is dismissed. Elsa, Vineta, give instructions to your men. We're going there tomorrow. There will be one main group, as well as a few support groups to take on the new territories."

The girls nodded simultaneously.

...

Wain chatted with Gisle for a while before heading over to Lea. The last time he had been here, he had instructed Agnes to give the gloves to Lea, as well as the blueprint for the weapon. He was curious to know what Lea had done with it.

"Lea, how are you getting on with your blacksmithing? Are you still getting depressed a lot?"

"Hi Wain, if that's how you're asking how I'm doing, not so greatly." Lea said frustratedly.

Her childlike, active, and joyful spirit had disappeared in her lately. She had been working hard and morally tired from constant failures, at least she thought so.

"Hmm? Are you failing to make good equipment?"

"I don't know how to answer you. The last and only masterpiece I made was your ring, which I see you've already used..."

"Yes... It saved my life, even if it was your only masterpiece. At that moment, it was the most precious thing in the world to me. Lea, even though you're not good at creating a masterpiece, isn't your stuff way above average anyway?"

Wain was well aware of Lea's peculiarities of soul. In his opinion, she had a strong soul, with almost limitless potential, but it had one big disadvantage.

Even if Lea was making good weapons with nice bonuses, the description still said how terrible a blacksmith she was and how negligible her skills were.

Lea understood that the items she created didn't deserve that. The others praised her and persuaded her to build them gear because the weapons were of high quality despite the description. Only Epic Rating Soul Chests had anything of similar quality.

"This girl is just too emotional. It's no wonder she can't create a masterpiece when she's constantly depressed. Lea worries about every little thing." Teresa said, walking over to them.

"It's not my fault. Even your rapier that I worked so hard for turned out to be garbage!" Lea exclaimed.

Teresa shook her head and muttered, "Eh, you're incorrigible. I've told you a hundred times that the rapier you created is better than any Epic Rating weapon I've seen before. You pay too much attention to what the description says. Why are you even reading this?"

"I can't read. I have to know what it says!"

"Shit... It's a no-win situation."

"Okay, it doesn't really matter if it's a masterpiece or not. Lea, Agnes was supposed to give you the gloves and the blueprint. Did you get anything out of it?"

"Ummmmm....." Lea was silent and uncertainly scratched the back of her head.

"Hmmm? What is it?"

"The weapon from the blueprint, I have..." Teresa muttered.

"Was there a recipe for a rapier in there?"

"Yes..." Lea said uncertainly, "Are you angry? I thought you didn't need a rapier."

"No, it's okay. The rapier is definitely not my preferred weapon. It's good that Teresa got something so valuable. What about my gloves?"

"I was able to make them into one, but it's another piece of junk..."

"Never mind, show it to me."

"Eh, okay, let's go to the workshop. It's here, not far away." Lea muttered and headed for the exit.

Wain nodded and followed her. Teresa was just as curious to see what Lea had created and headed after them.

...

When they reached the workshop, Lea handed to Wain one glove, which she had used two to create. This glove was dark brown and had several white lines, like threads on her fingers.

[Punch Palm (Primary Chronicle, Common Rating)

This glove was created by an inept blacksmith who, instead of creating a masterpiece out of two gloves, turned them into trash. The only thing this glove can be used for is to create a powerful pulse that will repel enemies].

'Hmm, rather scanty description, so is the Primary Chronicle and Common Rating item. Even so, though, it might have been useful to me earlier.' Wain pondered.

When he gave the gauntlet to Lea, he didn't expect her to make something incredible out of them. These items were already useless to him since he was First Chronicle.

Primary Chronicle gear was useless to him. However, he did it to see if Lea could handle it. He had another set of things to combine together.

"Damn, I so need to create a masterpiece. Well, why am I failing?!" Lea suddenly shouted.

"Do you want to see a good description again so badly?" Wain grinned.

"Yes, but that's not the only reason. To begin my second evolution, I must create a masterpiece... Moreover, this item must be much better than anything I have created before."

"What? Have you already reached level thirtieth? How is that possible?" Wain asked surprised.

He had a Title that increased the Soul Essence he got from souls, as well as a Seal of Darkness of rank three.

However, even so, he had to go through many battles and absorb hundreds of First Chronicle Souls to achieve this in a short time.

"It's all because of Gisle." Teresa said.

"Gisle? What does he have to do with it?"

"Obviously, there's no way Lea herself could have gotten that much energy to reach level thirtieth so quickly. Even me, Agnes, and Zero are still a long way from that, even though we fight and absorb souls all the time. Lea has such a high level because of Gisle's orders."

"Hmm?"

"He used the organization's resources and ordered everyone, including us, to turn over to Lea, all the souls we would harvest in Dungeons or Nests. Simply put, most of the souls the organization mined went to Lea."

Wain nodded. He realized at that moment that it was even possible to raise a hundred levels in one day this way. Sure, it was extremely difficult, but the fact was that it was possible.

'If that's what anyone else who knows about the island did. Then maybe I won't be the only Stats above 200. Damn, that could be problematic. How did I not think of that before. It's a good thing I found out about it now.'

"Gisle's idea was for Lea to evolve faster and her soul to become much stronger. Then the items she will create will be powerful, and it will greatly strengthen the organization."

"Understandably, if Lea becomes Second Chronicle, then even from First Chronicle materials, she will be able to create weapons that will be comparable to the weaker copies of Second Chronicle. It cost you a lot of effort and souls, but if it works out, it's actually worth it."

"Yes, but we didn't expect her to create a masterpiece. Given her luck and mood, it won't happen anytime soon." Teresa said with regret in her voice.

"Huh, who knows. Lea, I have something very interesting in mind. This might be your best chance to create a second masterpiece." Wain said smiling.
