Marcus and Sir Cedric stood in the heart of the ruined village, the weight of his mission pressing on him. The once proud Tigerheart family estate, now reduced to rubble, was a stark reminder of the devastation wrought by the Voss family. But Marcus, now inhabiting James's body, was determined to rebuild and reclaim his legacy.
Marcus , now inhabiting James's body, with Sir Cedric beside him stood at the center of the Tigerheart village square, surrounded by the remnants of what was once a proud community. Determined to restore the village to its former glory, he went to the stage where the villagers were gathered. Everyone was depressed, huddled in makeshift shelters, their faces etched with despair. With a commanding presence, Marcus addressed them, "Despite our loss of soldiers, knights, and family, WE WILL rebuild Tigerheart. Together, we will restore our home to its strongest position again, or even better. The Tigerheart family will never be lost to the depths of history, Whoever group competes building a house in the earliest time earns 5 golden as compared to a small rich commoner family wealth in the empire”
Every villagers from 14 to older was so excited and quickly started working out
He knew his next step was to consult with the village administrator, the old elder Michael, who had been watching from the side.
Marcus and Sir Cedric found Michael in his modest home, the elder's face etched with years of wisdom and hardship. "Elder Michael, I need your guidance," Marcus said, his voice firm yet respectful. "We must rebuild Tigerheart, but we must also address the integration of the Voss family villagers. This is a chance for a new beginning."
Michael nodded thoughtfully. "Your speech at the village stage today was impressive, between It will not be easy, young master, but with determination, and carefully observation and good strategy which will able to let it succeed. What do you propose?"
Marcus thought in his mind of the names of his previous world country, Greece name Eirene, which means peace in Greek "I plan to rename the Voss village to Eirene, This will symbolize our new beginning and the unity we seek," Marcus replied.
"Very well," Michael agreed. "We need to establish new rules and ensure that everyone, whether Tigerheart or Eirene which was once known as Voss village, to contributes our reconstruction."
Marcus and Michael discussed the new rules, Marcus then focused on the modern rules then he say how about this rules
1. Fair Tax System: A fair and progressive tax system to ensure all villagers contribute according to their means, only as few as 1 coppers per month.
2. Mandatory Education: All children must attend school to ensure future generations are well-educated and capable.

Marcus replied “this my choice and for better future for our villages”
Elder Micheal nodded with understanding and replied again “by the way young master, we will also need someone capable to help manage Eirene," Marcus said. "I would like you to enlist your only child, Alexander, to assist me."
Michael's eyes brightened with pride. "Alexander is a quite capable young man. He will serve you well."
With their plans in place, Marcus and Alexander and Sir Cedric made their way to the former Voss village, now Eirene. The villagers there eyed him warily, unsure of what to expect. Marcus called them together and addressed them with a commanding presence.
After that Marcus and Alexander then arrived at the Voss village. As Marcus, now in James's body, stepped onto the stage,
"I am James of the TigerHeart family, and from this day forward, this village vodd will be known as Eirene. We are building a future based on peace and unity. Elder Michael's son, Alexander, will assist me in managing this village."
Alexander stepped forward, a young man with a determined expression. "I am honored to serve the great young master of the great TigerHeart family and help rebuild our home and the new village," he declared.
The villagers murmured among themselves, their suspicion gradually giving way to cautious optimism.
the villagers whispered among themselves, dismissing him as merely a lowly Tigerheart family kids. Sir Cedric, standing beside Marcus,and alexander leaned in and asked, "Should I teach them a lesson, young master?"
Marcus shook his head. "No need."
He then raised his voice, calling out, "Anyone still loyal to the Voss family, come and receive your gift!"
After a moment of silence, two individuals stepped forward: a middle-aged woman named Margaret and an elderly man named Harold. The crowd fell silent, watching intently.
"Where is our gift?" one of the villagers finally dared to ask, their voice trembling.
Marcus wiped his blade and looked out over the crowd, his expression cold and unwavering. "This is your gift," he declared and then killed them. "A demonstration of what happens to those who remain loyal to the Voss family. Consider this a warning: the Tigerheart family is now in control. Those who pledge their loyalty to us will be spared. Those who resist will meet the same fate."
All of the villagers remain silent and nodded softly, then Marcus replied “from today onwards this village would be called Eirene, any objections?”
All the villagers replied nervously “NO”
Marcus replied while screaming “SAY IT LOUDER”
All the villagers shouted loud “NOO!”
As the village slowly began to rise from the ashes, Marcus focused on his training. Sir Cedric, a seasoned knight of the Tigerheart family, became his mentor. Under Sir Cedric's guidance, Marcus delved into the intricate techniques of knighthood, honing his skills with relentless dedication.
Days turned into weeks, then into two months, as Marcus immersed himself fully in the intense training regimen under Sir Cedric's watchful eye. His days were filled with grueling physical exertion, intricate swordsmanship drills, and the profound practice of the Tigerheart meditation technique. As he progressed, he reached the Lower knighthood level, but his journey was far from over.
After achieving this milestone, Marcus, now inhabiting James’s body, noticed a peculiar energy within him. This unusual resonance seemed to intertwine with his cultivation abilities. Intrigued, he decided to explore this newfound energy further. He continued his rigorous training with Sir Cedric while delving deeper into the Tigerheart meditation technique.
One evening, after an especially intense training session, Sir Cedric, noticing Marcus’s progress, congratulated him on reaching the Lower knighthood level in just two months. “Congratulations on reaching lower Knight level,” Sir Cedric said with a smile. Marcus turned around to Sir Cedric and said, “thanks master between I want to go back to my room.” Sir Cedric says “sure” As Marcus walked away, then Sir Cedric reflected on his memories. In his mind, he thought, “When I was in my twenties and reached Lower knighthood in under six months, I celebrated by dancing beside the food table next to my master for five days straight. I understand his feelings and need for privacy.”
During the following two months, Marcus discovered that the energy he felt bore a striking resemblance to the meditative focus used in the Righteous Sword Sect's cultivation. This similarity suggested a potential synergy between the two practices. Driven by this realization, he decided to push the boundaries of his training even further.
In a moment of intense focus, Marcus shattered the limits of his current medians, breaking through the barriers that had previously constrained his energy flow. This act was both physically and mentally taxing, but Marcus's determination and resilience saw him through the ordeal. With the old limitations removed, he set about merging the Tigerheart meditation with the Righteous Sword Sect’s techniques.
The process of combining these meditative practices was complex and demanding. Marcus meticulously worked to integrate the strengths of both systems into a single, cohesive meditation. He aligned his newly formed core with the combined practices, creating a unified approach he named it the Righteous Knight Meditation.
The result was astonishing. With the new combined meditation, Marcus found himself progressing at a rate 10 times faster than anyone practicing either cultivation or knighthood, regardless of their talent or genius. The fusion allowed him to achieve unprecedented speed and efficiency in his training, propelling him to levels of mastery that were previously would have thought took way longer to be attainable.
