Jason stares at the table, looking over the domain, and sees two highlighted areas in yellow looking closer to the word. Drying down his chest and damp hair as he stares at the screen.
He forgot that he clicked 'yes' on building a wall around the house and barns and added the gate until he walked up to them a while ago. The blockhouses will all be done soon. Although he has been calling the gate a gatehouse, it really is two blockhouses with a gate between them. He went ahead and added stone to the main house and the lone tower of the house. Completely encase the lower level of the house and tower. Adding several globe lights that can be infused with mana to keep them lite on the ground floor. Making the front and side doors heavy oak with iron reinforcement. Doing the same with the barns and other buildings.
Looking at the domain, and decide that he wants to improve the land and add a lake that Alice always wanted.
[Two springs found on Domain do you wish to open them?
Small spring 10 gal/hr: 100 KP
Medium spring 100 gal/hr: 500 KP
Large spring 1000 gal/hr: 1000 KP
Enormous spring 10,000/hr: 10,000 KP
Looking over the map and seeing two highlighted locations, one is in the moat dug around the fort. The other is in the middle of the property. He knows about the one in the middle of the land. It seeps out water that he was thinking about bringing a backhoe and make a small pond, but the gates happen. Looking over his option and finding a ten-acre lake on the list, he paid 5000 KP for it. Using his hand, he outlines a circle for the lake costing him 5000 KP and trails his finger through the land toward the small creek. When he reaches the wall, it prompts him.
[What size canal do you want?
Small 100 KP
Medium 200 KP
Large 500 KP
Enormous 1000 KP
Going with large, he clicks large.
[You wish to make canal stone? Double cost of canal. Yes/no]
Reading the information given to him, he saw that the ground and walls of the canal could be enclosed with stone. Seeing he has a lot of points, he said, "Yes,"
He sees another prompt and a highlighted red at the field wall where the canal is on the other side is a gully leading to the creek.
[Do you wish to have an iron-gate in the canal will add 10% defense to Domain. Yes/no?]
An image or an arch appears under the wall, and bars dropping down into the canal to keep enemies out but allow water to flow through. He can enlarge the area using his hands until he sees that the bars are a half foot thick and space about three inches apart. Zooming back, he clicks on the spring and presses Enormous Spring. The one around the moat, he clicks on Small spring using a straight line to the lake he added a small canal with stone. 15,300 KP spent like that. Seeing more items like bridges, both with wood or stone, he stops looking as Alice walks into the room.
Closing the Prompt, another appears and fades.
[New construction will be finish in two hours]
Staring at the towers, and realize they were called Blockhouse that has a gun port. Seeing cannon ports and Ballistic slots that are grey out, he stares at the cannon ports.
'Cannon! Guess that will be in the next or next two Kingdom Levels.' Startle out of his musing as Alice looks stunned. Staring at his chest as a towel wrap around him. He looks down and blushes.
"Sorry, all my clothes are dirty and bloody. I may have to go upstairs and get my clothes."
Shaking her head, smiling, "I move your clothes to our bedroom." pointing behind her.
Not missing the 'our bedroom,' hiding a smile.
"How the girl?"
"She lost a lot of blood from her back that is tore up from being drag upon the gravel. We cleaned all the gravel out and put a compress on the back out of the first aid room. She also has a head injury, A dislocated shoulder from being pull and a broken right ankle. She is the local track star at the High school. She specializes in javelin throwing, taking third place in the state. She going to have a rough time surviving this. Her boyfriend Doug was killed by the creature when he tried to rescue her. They had been childhood friends for years until they got serious last year.
Signing. "Can't do anything about that. It seems he died before we started the Kingdom. Otherwise, I can bring them back after reaching ten levels in the Kingdom. None of the dead have ashes in an urn. I do have something to give you, and we need to talk about stats." as he looks at Alice.
She nods and lets him lead her out of the room by the hand. Setting her on the bed, he hands her a book. Looking puzzled, she looks up at him.
Thinking he wants her but instead, he hands her a book.
"This is a magic book that will give you the ability to cast healing magic. But before you open that, you need to pull up your stats and apply your free attributes. You need to add half into Mental to use more magic, and the Hendricks put half off theirs into Physique and shed twenty to thirty years. You can do what is best for you, I will not tell you what to do, so it is up to you. But read each stat before deciding. So think 'Stats' and do your attributes and then open the book. I want you around to heal people that get hurt and to keep me around longer in battles. And you can heal the girl. Hearing his concern and the need to keep him safe. She nods, and her eye goes unfocused. Within a few minutes, she drops few years or so. Looking somewhere in her thirty instead of her forties, and her skin became flawless. Her tan fades away and glows with youth while her red freckles pop out more. The lines on her face and the sunspots have disappears.
Her eyes open. "That's, wow." she looks up at him. "I put one in Physique. One in Dexterity and three in Charm, the rest in Mental." blush at the points she added to Charm. They can sue her all they want. She wants the man in front of her to be happy with her looks. She never felt that way with another man even her dead husband didn't make her weak in the knees just from a smile or hearing his voice. God, what a deep and rich voice in it vocal that sometimes melts her heart when he talks.
"Before you open your book. It will be painful as hell for a few minutes, then go away while you do that. I am going to read this book on flame strike so we both will be in pain and not get scared for the other person because we will be too worried about ourselves."

Grabbing his book, he takes it out of his storage and looks at her as she watches him. They both open their books. The light spell was nothing compared to this. It felt like his mind was on fire, and then everything went black as he passed out. When he came awake, he saw Alice hover over him with green light flowing all over his making him feel cool as she sobs, holding her hand to his chest.
"I'm already in bed. You don't have to push me in deeper." Grinning as he watches her, tears flow down her face, and her bright green eyes searching his face for discomfort. His hands move up and cup her face on one side as she nuzzles his hand as tears continue to fall.
"I woke up, and you were unconscious. I couldn't bear losing you too. Not since you came into my life." She leaps forward and clamps her lips onto his, and they kiss for a long time, each of them hungry for the other. She got up and began to drop her clothes to the floor. Without thinking, Jason did the same thing while staring at her body that made her curvy in all the right places. Her attributes in Physique made her muscle-like body more bit sleeker. Her large breasts just waiting for him to plow his head into as she pushes him back onto the bed. Bending to the side, she blew out the lamp, plunging the room into darkness.
Jason came awake that morning with a beautiful redhead sleeping while draped over the top of him. After the first round of sex. Alice jumped out of bed and put on her undergarment and a heavy bathrobe. And her saying she be right back, she rushes out of the room. When she returned fifteen minutes later, looking tired. Jason found out she healed Gina that I had forgotten about. in my lust for Alice. After that, all he remembers is the marathon of sex they had all night. Sometime in the night, they both collapse in exhaustion.
Grinning, he cast a light into the corner of the room and stares at Alice's blinking eyes staring back at him with a grin on her freckle face. She then dives under the covers and grabs his morning wood, and drains him again. An hour later, he heard a yell from the bathroom. Rushing to see what happens, only to find her looking in the mirror. Touching her face and looking at her hair that in her hand.
"Oh! My God! I lost at least ten years!" staring at her reflection. "And my hair is beautiful! It silky, straight, and not like the straw-like mess it is always in!" Holding the end of her straight red hair. Turning, she pulls him into a kiss and hugs him.
"Thank you! Thank you! I know you didn't give me the system, but you explain what to do!" Leaping into his arms and kiss some more. "I didn't want to put too much into Physique. I like my age, but Charm, I could not pass it up." she grins.
"My sister! I forgot about her!" looking panic. Jason pulls her close to him and tries to calm her down.
"If I know Ben and your sister Mary they and their child clear out a den all by themselves. Your sister teaches karate to the local 4-H club, and all her kids can hunt with a bow and crossbow. On top of karate, so I am not worried. I'm am worried about some of the locals going to his house to raid his collection. If I remember, his cold weapon selection is larger than your husband's collection, and he made all them."
Looking down at the woman, press to his chess and pet her long red hair. Wondering when he got so forward with holding her. He always had the thing for older women. Chet always teases him about it. Saying that I have a mother complex which may be right. Since I have no idea who my family is nor where they are since he had been in an orphanage in St. Louis until he joined the army at eighteen. After seeing the war first hand, he left that behind when his best friend died. He will not hesitate to kill if it means saving the ones he loves.
"I will head to town sometime today to bring them back." holding the woman in his arms and thinking he needs to get the fort ready soon. He needed troops and saw that the barracks could summon help.
It took her an hour to calm down, thanking him in bed before their stomach told them they needed to go eat. Hearing the grandfather clock in the corner chime five o'clock, They head to the kitchen to find some food and see everyone eating or in line to eat. Both got in line and put
some eggs and toast on their plate. Early morning is typical for them. Even livestock needs to be fed too.
"Was going to go feed the animals, but the door is locked," Keith said, and a ding sound in my head.
[Level Two Kingdom complete. 100 experience awarded.
Ding! You are level Three! You have been award two attribute points. And one skill point.
You now control all territory in a two-mile radius.
As the owner of a level two kingdom, you get two random building
You have learned the skill Slash weapons.
+3 to Range weapons'
+2 to Riding]
[Please pick one of three skills for your Kingdom]
+2 to damage and defense to troops
+2 to number of people summon per building
x2 to the speed of food production.
Looking at his choice, he clicks on each to be sure what they will be.
+2 to damage and defense to troops. As the Kingdom grows, troops can grow. +1 per level of Kingdom is added to damage and defense of the troop.
Wow, that be nice to have. More robust and defensible troops can handle danger. But right now, we need food in the future. I can take these low-level gates, but I doubt stronger gates when mana in this world gets stronger.
+2 to the number of people summon per building. All building that can summon personnel will add +1 person to it building as the Kingdom grow. Warrior barracks will have =1 warrior per level. Same with baker or butcher building.
Okay, this could be nice to have more troops to man the place or more people to work, but what about feeding them or housing.
x2 to the speed of food production. Production of food will be the level of the kingdom. For example, a fifth-level kingdom will have times five in production farming or livestock.
This be nice less land to grow and more food needed and at the moment I need food more that I need troops. As I find more survivors, I will be hurting on food in the future. Let go will the third option then. Thinking on option three, he is prompt again.
[Kingdom food production is time now, times two.]
"Wait, I thought I can't expand if there is another kingdom in the place?"
"You are correct. The Kingdom orb to the south has been conquered by another entity. The kingdom orb has been removed. There is one Kingdom found to the east that is two and a half miles." Thinking about the area. A map appears in his head, and seeing another kingdom has appeared in a small ravine to the east. The water barely trickles out of it before going to the creek under the gravel stream a mile away. Nothing there but rock ledges and brush. There is no cave or place for animals to hide, just a fifteen-foot drop from the top to the floor where wet weather sends water to it from the land above when it rains or snow. Look like I will have to destroy it in the future. Let's do my stats. Noticing Keith was talk, and he somehow zones out.
Raising his hand to wait one moment to Keith, he put a point into Dexterity and one into Mental. Must have gotten those skills when he used them, and since he knew how to use them, they must have added extra points. Okay, Think he will put a point into slash weapons. For now, he might put a point to piercing weapons later to use a lance or a spear. Seeing that he has two unused skill points at level three, he put both to his slash weapon skill.
