Jack was teleported back, right in the same spot in his room where he had vanished. The room was empty, so the little man in the village of giants decided to check what was going on outside. What he saw was rather interesting.

The whole village was lit up with kerosene lamps. It seems like it's been a while since he was gone. He looked around, looking for Carus or the old elder; honestly, anyone was; he just wanted to make sure nothing went wrong while he was gone. He tried walking for a bit, but walking around in the giant village was annoying, honestly. He just then realized this as he smacked his own head and whistled out. For a while, nothing happened, but out of nowhere, a bird came flying in; it was black in color. The same bird next to where Jack used to live jumped on its back, and it took off. Not that he couldn't walk, but he had done more than enough for some time, and with all the stuff that happened in the test matches, he deserved some rest.

As he flew over the village on the back of his birdy friend, he thought he might as well think of a name for this guy, but he was never good at naming stuff. If he were honest, he would just end up calling it blacky or something that sounded pitifully honest. He just sighed as soon as he found Caruz, who had just come out of a meeting with other elders. He seemed tired but seemed to be handling all the responsibilities of the village well. Jack was happy for the guy, honestly.

As Carus noticed a bird flying towards it,he raised his guard but soon noticed it had something on its back. As it got closer, Carus finally noticed what or who it was. Without wasting time, the giant bowed down to one knee, looking down.

"The village chief welcomes the lord of the forest back. How was your trip, Lord Jack?" The man asked without raising his head as Jack sighed. Honestly, he did not like that name, but he was too tired to be dealing with it again.

"It was fine; how's the village been?"

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

The giant nodded, just explaining how everything was going well. There were no beast attacks anymore ever since Jack declared the village his own property. Jack simply nodded, listening to everything. Stuff seemed to be fine, so he did not have to feel much worried, as he just decided it would be best if he got a good night's sleep.

"Alright, I'll go to sleep. When I wake up, we will have a party. Oh, also prepare 10 houses for accommodation for people my size; there will be new people joining our village."

Carus started sweating, hearing that having Jack among them was a good thing because his presence simply kept the village safe, and he trusted Jack, but others, if they were anywhere as strong as Jack, could cause problems. Jack noticed the change in Carus's expression as he only sighed and spoke.

"They are my subordinates, just like you guys are. Treat them with respect." Carus relaxed a bit as he nodded, as instantly the village workers and kids started making the houses since the adults were too big to build that stuff properly. Jack felt bad, but the better they learn how society works, the better.

"Now to the current issue," Jack said as he looked at the blue screen in front of him.

[Please select 10 people to serve under you.]

[Please choose a name for your country.]

"Well, one at a time. I am not good at naming either way," he said as he decided to put the name aside for now and clicked the option about selecting people. Honestly, there were a few people who caught his attention; at least he had two selected for now, but the rest he had to choose.

As the list opened, a screen opened with a list of all people in alphabetical order and a search bar at the top. There were filters or specific searches based on skills. This is actually so useful. I wondered if he had to scroll through or just choose without knowing, but fortunately he didn't have to. The first person was actually interested in him from the second he met him. More muscles and less brains, he chose the duke. Simply because he understood the potential that trait had, how rare a trait is in general, and more importantly, He was curious about the duke's trait and how it worked.

The second person he chose was rather someone he didn't know a lot about but was sure he could make use of in the future. He chose the person with the crystal abilities he faced during the battle inside the rings, free for all. He was sure he could make use of that ability. That left 8 more spots.
