A new virtual panel suddenly materialized on Ardi's HUD:
----------------------------------------
[Merge Confirmation Panel]
Merge Items: Simple Manor House + Town Center Rickshaw
Warning: Merging may trigger unexpected mutations and changes.
[ Yes ] [ No ]
----------------------------------------
Ardi, now thoroughly accustomed to these system prompts, smiled confidently and pressed Yes. In an instant, the Town Center Rickshaw dissolved into a brilliant beam of light that streaked toward his Simple Manor. Both structures shone with an intense, blinding radiance as they merged into one.
Almost immediately, five silent, alert shinobi sprang into action, forming a protective circle around Ardi. Their eyes scanned the area for any sign of danger. Simultaneously, ten vigilant Ashigarus formed a tight, disciplined line before the gathered villagers. Clutching his heart with a soft, reassuring smile, Ardi raised his hand and spoke in a gentle, calming tone, "Peace, my People. There is nothing to fear. We are merely witnessing the birth of a new chapter."
Sensing the rising tension among the villagers, Ardi softly beckoned, "Yui, please—show yourself." At that moment, Yui Change form and materialized in her graceful humanoid form: a radiant 21-year-old woman with flowing white hair and elegant blue eyes. Her presence, like a serene light amid chaos, immediately brought a hush over the assembly. The villagers, awestruck, murmured respectfully, "My Lady…" while some bowed their heads in reverence.
Daimyo Manor : A 3-story fortress blending the core functionality of your original Simple Manor House with the refined elegance of a traditional Japanese citadel.
• Basement: Shinobi hideout, weapons storeroom, prison, and emergency shelter.
• Floor 1: The bustling heart of the village—featuring a grand village hall, Ardi's private lord's office, food and equipment storage, material reserves, a dojo, a lounge, a private onsen, and a serene private garden.
• Floor 2: Ardi's personal quarters, including a spacious bedroom, an archive room, and three additional chambers.
Ardi's eyes shone with quiet satisfaction as he surveyed the transformation. "This... This is exactly what we need for our new beginning," he declared warmly. His voice, imbued with both pride and a sense of duty, echoed through the hall. "My dear friends, today marks the dawn of a flourishing era on Avalon Island."
One of the villagers, an middle age man with gentle eyes, stepped forward and said, "My Lord, your vision inspires us. We are honored to follow your guidance." Another added, "My Lord, we shall work tirelessly to bring prosperity to our home."
Drawing a deep breath, Ardi turned to Yui. "My Lady, could you please explain the changes and the systems now at work for our community?"
Yui's voice, soft yet resolute, replied, "Of course, Master. With the integration of our new population system, upgraded building controls, and real-time production and consumption panels, you now have full oversight of resource stocks, villager data, and the progress of our village. These enhancements will allow us to manage and develop Avalon Island much like the simulation games you cherished in your past."
Inspired by the promising future ahead, Ardi's eyes sparkled with determination as he decided to bolster his village's growth even further.
"Now, let's use our Gacha Tickets to secure items that will empower our people," he announced, opening the [Gacha Shop] menu on his HUD. The interface revealed three tiers—Low Tier (White–Blue), Medium Tier (Blue–Red), and High Tier (Purple–Gold). Opting for the Low Tier shop, Ardi pulled the lever on the gacha machine—a device reminiscent of a classic slot machine—and selected a 10× draw with a high chance for bonus rewards.

Ardi smiled slightly as he observed his new acquisition. "This will definitely strengthen me in facing problems later," he muttered with satisfaction. But Ardi felt a little strange because almost all the items came from the modern world and added the existence of Leon S. Kennedy's Broken Butterfly.

Ardi's heart swelled with pride as he reviewed his extensive new acquisitions. He glanced over at the assembled villagers, who continued to murmur respectful greetings with a natural warmth and light-hearted camaraderie. One Ashigaru said quietly to another, "My Lord truly leads us into a promising future." Another villager added, "Indeed, my Lord, with such gifts, our destiny is bright."
Stepping forward, Ardi addressed the gathering with genuine care and gentle authority. "My dear friends, these gifts are not just tools or weapons—they are the building blocks of our future. I promise to guide our community with compassion and wisdom. Together, we will build a prosperous home on Avalon Island."
At that moment, Yui stepped forward, her eyes softening as she reached out to Ardi. "Master, I have always believed in your vision. Let us work hand in hand to nurture our people and our land," she whispered in her voice tender.
Ardi smiled warmly at her and the villagers alike. "Thank you, Yui , and thank you all for your trust. I am honored to serve you, and together, we will create a legacy that will be remembered for generations."
In the gentle glow of the merging magic and the newfound hope that radiated from every corner of Daimyo Manor, Avalon Island's first true civilization took its first determined steps toward a bright and prosperous future.
