Sherwin sits on a mountain of corpses that belonged to players. However, if one looked closely, it was possible to discover that the bodies were players who had been chasing Hikaru.
Sherwin saw the System announcement, and clenched his teeth, his face flushed with anger.
"Damn it! That bastard was the first one out of the Dungeon." he angrily said.
Suddenly, behind Sherwin, someone was approaching. That person suddenly said: "Hahaha… I can't believe the first person to pass through the Dungeon and level up their territory was Hikaru."
Hearing the other person's words, he snorted, then said mockingly: "He definitely participated in the easiest Dungeon difficulty"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course! Each Dungeon difficulty is a different dimension. The dungeon we're participating in has difficulty of Hard. Maybe he was afraid of meeting us, so he chose the easiest difficulty." Sherwin's voice was as solid as if everything was in the palm of his hand.
"So…" That person walked over to Sherwin.
It was a girl, quite beautiful, although not as attractive as Saraya or Vuni, but this girl had a rather special beauty. That beauty is like the beauty of powerful industrial machines.
"Ratia…" Sherwin angrily shouted at Ratia: "Why did you miss at that time?"
"At that time?" Ratia's face was filled with confidence. Standing in front of her was Sherwin who she did not give special attention.
"Don't pretend! Then why didn't you hit that bastard Hikaru but missed?" Sherwin shouted, his voice echoing through the forest. His voice was so loud that it caused the birds in the trees to fly away in fear.
Even so, Ratia's face showed no fear at all. Ratia smiled and replied: "I aimed very precisely, and it's because of his strength that he dodged my attack."
"Sigh!" Sherwin clicked his tongue in anger. However, he dared not do anything to Ratia.
Ratia then raised her hand, and a magic circle appeared in front of her. Then, an off-road vehicle appeared, and Ratia got in the car and drove away. Before leaving, Ratia's voice echoed: "Never mess with that guy. He's not simple."
Sherwin gritted his teeth, angrily stomping down on a corpse. That corpse was instantly crushed like a watermelon, turning into a mess of blood and flesh.
"I'll find you… Hikaru."
…
Elsewhere, Raito saw the pile of materials used to upgrade the territory in his bag, which was almost complete, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
At this time, Naomi sat happily on the bed beside Raito. In this cruel world, other people were still hungry, but Naomi was able to eat and drink enough to make her happy.
Raito listened to Naomi's flattery, a slightly annoyed expression appeared on his face. However, because Raito was sitting with his back to Naomi, she couldn't see his expression.
Raito replied, "Thanks to Hikaru too. Since he is present in this world from the company, I think the others in the company will surely be in this place as well. Contact them and ask them to hand over food and some materials. We don't even need to venture out."
Naomi heard that and was surprised. She asked: "Other people in the company are also in this place? But… will they accept to hand over their food to you? Food is very scarce right now."
Hearing that, Raito sneered, his smile filled with scorn. Raito said: "Maybe it's because I'm trustworthy and have leadership qualities that they trust me."
However, in his heart, Raito thought otherwise. Although Raito is greedy, he is not a fool. If he was stupid, how could he hold the position of Head of Department for more than 7 years without anyone daring to object?
Raito knew very well the people who feared him. In any world, there will be rulers and enslaved people. The ruler will forever be the ruler, and the enslaved person will forever be an animal that others ride on.
Therefore, when he came to this world, Raito targeted people with slave qualities to contact. Naturally, Raito used his communication to frighten those people to obey his orders.
Those people have been afraid of Raito since they were on Earth. That fear was already deeply rooted in their brains, so it didn't take much effort for Raito to deceive those people.
This is life, and there is no justice.
Raito thought: "Perhaps… in the future, I should replace this doll. I'm bored with it. If I become strong, what kind of woman can't I get? I can even have a lot of women. Hahaha…"
When a bulletin board appeared in front of him, Raito was still immersed in his delusions.
[Ding! Informing the whole world, Hikaru was the first to own a territory. Congratulations to Hikaru and the First Territory - Elkia.]
"What?!" Raito exclaimed
Looking at the bulletin board, his face showing surprise, panic, then anger.
Naomi, of course, also saw this bulletin board. She looked at Raito, who was so angry that she blushed and was scared. Naomi hastily approached Raito, using her words to reassure Raito.
"Raito, don't worry. Hikaru is just lucky to have the UR Treasure Chest. Yes, it's just luck. He can't be that lucky forever. I'm much better than him, and I'm relying on…"
"Slap!"
"AAA!"
Raito heard Naomi rambling, so his anger broke out. He immediately slapped Naomi, causing her to cry out in pain. An angry Raito pinned Naomi on the bed, then raped her.
"Don't! Raito, don't… it hurts..."
Raito, of course, didn't stop. He was like a wild animal using his power to **** her.
…
Hikaru didn't know how the
other players thought, but he guessed their thoughts were not
friendly to him.
"Sherwin… did you see this message? Look closely because you'll see that I'm getting stronger and stronger." Hikaru thought to himself.
Hikaru took a deep breath, trying to calm down, not letting anger overwhelm his mind. Hikaru checked the properties of the level 1 territory after using the level-up M.E skill.
…
Name: Elkia
Level: 1
Description 1: Usable area: 200
square meters. Which 100 square meters are housing, and the remaining 100 square meters can be used at the will of the Landlord.
Description 2: The territory has a protective barrier. Monsters of R Class or lower cannot enter.
Description 3: The air in the territory has been purified, and the fog cannot penetrate the territory.
…
Hikaru nodded in satisfaction.
As such, Hikaru did not need to worry about being ambushed by monsters when he loses the System's protection after 7 days. No, to be more precise, in the next 6 days.
Hikaru wanted to continue leveling up the territory because the barrier that only protected the territory from Rarity of R or lower monsters was too weak. Hikaru's goal is to be able to stop the Rarity of SSR monster.
[Ding! To promote a territory to level 2, you need to pay 50,000 stones, 50,000 wood, 5,000 iron, and 500,000 Soul Points. Do you want to pay or not?]
Hikaru was happy that the resources he possessed were enough for him to level up the territory to level 4.
"Agreed."
[Ding! Payment successful.]
[Ding! Territory leveled up successfully.]
Right after that, the house that Hikaru was staying in suddenly transformed. It was larger, more comfortable, and had more rooms.
…
Name: Elkia
Level: 2
Description 1: Usable area: 600
square meters. Of which 200 square meters are houses, and the remaining 400 square meters can be used at the will of the Landlord.
Description 2: The territory has a protective barrier. Monsters of SR Class or lower cannot enter.
Description 3: The air in the territory has been purified, and the fog cannot penetrate the territory.
Description 4: A Treasure Chest will randomly appear in the territory, and the Master will be notified when it appears. The rate to appear Treasure Chest is 10% / day.
…
Hikaru continued to level up the territory. However, a message popped up to his disappointment.
[Ding! You don't have enough resources to level up the territory.]
"Lack of resources?" Hikaru was confused. He opened the information panel to see the materials needed to level the territory to level 3.
500,000 logs; 500,000 stones; 50,000 iron; 5,000,000 Soul Points and 5 certification cards for destroying a tier 2 territory.
"Certificate for destroying tier 2 territory?"
[Master.]
At this moment, Rika's voice resounded in Hikaru's head.
[Certificate for the destruction of a tier 2 territory can be obtained through the destruction of a tier 2 territory or the surrender of the Landlord of a tier 2 territory.]
However, that's a bit difficult because I'm the only one who owns a level 2 territory right now." Hikaru frowned thoughtfully.
Waiting for the other lords to have enough time to level up their territory would be too long. The other players who have not yet promoted their territory to level 1 should wait until level 2.
Hikaru let out a sigh. He put aside the territory promotion for a while, then continued to look at the remaining items.
…
