Dream or reality, he could not care less!
Now that he finally had blacksmiths, he could finally upgrade his village and gain the rewards .
He noticed that on the village xp bar a question mark had appeared, once Jamie focused on that a new window popped up that explained something:
“ Upon upgrading your village, you will be rewarded with what you need to progress your main storyline .
Do you wish to upgrade ? “
It was really intriguing, nothing similar had happened to him in his past life .
“ This is probably only available to legendary village order holders”
He chose to upgrade and the world announcement rang .
WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT
“ Congratulations to player BloodVenerable for being the fourth player to advance his village to medium grade . The system awards you with basic warship blue prints, fortress cross bow blueprint, Starzorg hand guards blue print , Midgardian Shield blue prints , 30 combatant villagers with the lowest being C class villager , and a B class Greyback Wolf creation den “
“This just cant be happening right now, isn’t this too much ? “
Jamie couldn’t believe what was happening, first the blacksmiths and now all these rewards . He kinda had a bad feeling about this .

“Destiny stat unlocked, current destiny 1/100 .
You are awarded with the Earth Magi profession token “
— Earth Magi ( Legendary Class )
Sutra: Overworld
Profession evolution tree:
Earth Magi —- Earth Grand Mage —- Earth Monarch
Skills: Earth Reanimation , Earthquake , Earth Spikes, Earth manipulation and Earth Explosion
He started doubting even more, could this truly be what lords of legendary villages were awarded? Is this why the gap between him and them was so large in his past life ? Things just cant be so simple, besides he already had the Roc Bloodline, earth affinity , that weird ring whose stats were locked ? He had even heard the system mention this Earth Monarch before, things were definitely not simple .
Suddenly, Ralph accompanied by 30 warriors interrupted his train of thought.
Those were probably the combatants he was awarded with .
Just as system promised, they were all above C class and had similar stats and skills . Surprisingly enough, they were also equipped with leather armour and iron swords, so he wouldn’t dare make light of them . Now they could probably try to pick a fight with the orcs, or at least so he thought.
“ Tell Pompei to pass some Aura skill manual copies to them, have them learn it and take them out to hunt .
You will be their leader Ralph, so get along with them “
Ralph had sort of expected it so he didn’t react as one normally would when getting a ‘promotion’ . As a warrior he had a lot of pride and such things didn’t get on his head.
As for Jamie, since now he finally had a profession token, he could pass the Master Swordsman profession token to Cara, he would also give her his sword sutra which definitely had potential to at least grow to one rank below legendary.
That thing was a huge gift, but Jamie already knew more than 10 sword skills and he could still perform those skills without the swordsman profession .
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
A profession was just there to aid you towards a certain path, it didn’t dictate your way just guides you and makes things simpler by granting you a few skills .
It didn’t mean that a general cant learn cooking skills or whatever, so he wasn’t going to lose any of his skills .
“ Lets get this done so I can get to my training “
He entered the game store and created a private transaction virtual shop .
He send Cara the password through in game chat who he just activated 3 seconds ago . He had already over 700 thousand friend requests which made him regret his decision quite a bit .
He was probably going to get bothered by unpleasant things.
Since he was in such a good mood, he made quite the investment.
Not only did he give Cara the profession token and the sutra, he also gave her the beast dens he had, a few trident weapons that he took from the lizardmen , and 10 aura skill manuals .
Aura was a very basic skill that in a month or two everyone will master and learn how to channel it , so even if somehow Cara decided to sell those things for her own benefit he wouldn’t lose much .
Obviously Cara and the others had no such intentions, after watching a few Ctube videos they learned who BloodVenerable was and how valuable were the things that he gave them .
But Jamie was a paranoid guy, he wasnt going to blindly believe anyone in this life ever again . Getting betrayed by your close ones and losing all that you build was a pretty shitty feeling after all .
Could anyone blame the poor fella ?
“ Since I already gave aura away, let me invest on someone else . Just to higher up the odds “
A player could access all his social media even from inside the game, after all you dont just fight monsters all day .
Even though the time was different compared to the real world, inside the game it still felt like 24 hours .
You could eat, sleep, shit just as if the world truly existed. Jamie would never stop getting fascinated by this , he even felt as if his villagers were real people .
He opened the Forum and made a post .
“ I am just a normal dude without any financial backing , so seeing the support I have been receiving gives me such joy that I cannot describe with words .
I have noticed how much support I have been gaining which is why I decided to make this appreciation post .
Also, I have decided to support the BloodKin clan who are my biggest supporters. I don’t know if I have the right to call you fans but know that you mean the world to me . I ask for their leader Alissia to contact me so that she may receive my gifts “
He posted it and after reloading the page a couple of time, the post already gained over a thousand likes and few hundred comments .
@tiktakcr The other Royals didn’t even accept their fans, you are the only one but I do not blame you. Only an idiot wouldn’t try to get close to Alissia, shes got mad booty ong .
A guy whose username was @faklordsofsr replied:
“The guy above, just noticed that you have also seen her enormous baggage.
I see you’re a man of culture as well “
@claraloft “ baggage? Dude thats so cringe who tf calls ass baggage “
Jamie couldn’t even get pissed at them, no matter how famous one became men would rather pay attention to big booty bitches, its how the world worked .
He didn’t intend on waiting for Alissia to contact him anyway, he had to integrate with his new profession and adapt to his new skills .
“ is my energy going to be enough to fuel my new abilities? Doesn’t really feel like it will “
He sat cross legged and broke the token, a brown light circulated out of the rock token remains and entered his chest .
His eyes started glowing in light brown colour and memory fragments were entering his brain .
He entered his own mind and found himself facing an Orc army , however his body seemed to be controlled by something else . It’s probably the system he thought, some back story perhaps !
The system had full control of his body and used earthquake and earth explosion to stop the advancement of the wolfback orc riders . There were now only a Huge orc and 20 orc soldiers remaining, but not for too long though.
At their every step, the system used his body to manipulate the ground and create pits in which they would fall .
It also formed spikes in the ground which the poor creatures would step on and lose their limbs .
“ so this is the system trying to teach me what my skills do and how they work .
Its very convenient I gotta admit “
After killing the orc leader, the system made him walk closer to its corpse and raised his right hand .
Earthly essence separated from the ground and entered the orcs body, he shed its skin in a stupidly high speed and replaced it with earthly layers .
Its eyes started glowing in light brown colour and the orc corpse stood up again and bent his knee .
“EARTH ZOMBIES?? Oh fuck no this cant be, something so op this quickly?
Something definitely aint right “
Unfortunately he was right, few minutes after the integration , 3 world announcements rang that notified people about Ivan, Yuuki and Xing Tian advancing their legendary villages .
Their rewards were as absurd and generous as Jamies which only proved his doubts .
WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT
“ Absolute Defence Event unlocked , all those who upgraded their village to medium grade can participate.
The top 3 will receive generous rewards.
For the next 6 real life hours,the game will enter its first major update, I encourage the players to log out for safety reasons “
“ Absolute Defence Event? OH FUKK NOO I KNEW SOMETHING LIKE THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN “
