One day after another sucessful Solomon was putting away his recently acquired treasures. He sighed.
He sighed because he ws bored, he had already robbed half of the noble families inside of the elven and treant and he was bored. He already knew he could easily rob both of the royal families even without his ghost transformation, he just didnt know what to do, so he decided to call a family meeting. The maily meeting is where Solomon, Loretta, Gabby, and Deam meet inside of Solomons and Lorettas, Deam and Gabby would visit using a formation Solo gave them.
After that Solomon waited inside of his and Lorettas world comprehending the Dao for a month. It took a week for Gabby to show up three weeks for Deam to show up and then another week for Loretta to show up.
" Sorry it took me so long to show up babe I was right in the middle of a war with a small country and couldnt come by. Fill me in on the situation. "
" Basically Im super bored of the easiness of robbing and I have nothing to do. Im just wondering if yall have any ideas. We have put off discussing for you to show up. "
After that Gabbrielle spoke up.
" I do have some thoughts. You could start raiding as in you make a band of bandits and start going all out against nobles and what not. You could go with your original iea of being a pilot. And then my last idea would be for you to get super strong and single handidly raid people. "
" I had similar thoughts. "
Solomon nodded his head along with Loretta.
" Then lets discuss the benefits shall we. "
" Sure babe. Then if you make a bandit group you will have entertainment apart from just robbing. But you will not have a way to be sneaky. For a pirate group youll have alot of space to do your own thing. You could be sneaky but youll be contained to the oceans and seas. For personal strength you have the most benefits. Sneaky, wont have to deal with alot of people, same schedule, among other things. "
" I agree for the most part with Loretta. Though in my opinion you are good enough at formations you could easily be sneaky with even with a bandit group. Especially if you decided to create a hidden organization like Gabbies, except focus on robbing maybe assassination. If you pirate around youll have to learn how to fight on the water as well as having to learn how to build and repair ships. For personal strength youll be able to use all your techniques, along with all of your previous patterns. Personal strength is your best choice in my opinion. "
" I agree with everything Deam pointed out. I have nothing to add personally. "
Solomon just nodded his head since he had nothing to add either.
" I already decided if I start leveling I want to kill a level fifty at least before I level up to level one. I should be able to kill a weak level seventy though I think I should be safe and go with level fifty then a level sixty and then decided from there. I sould be able to kill all three without going past level one. "
" Are you that confindent in your talent? To not only kill at least a level fifty but to also kill a level fifty, sixty, and seventy with out leveling up. If that was the case then you would have to kill like every God just to reac level fifty. "
Solomon just smiled wryly at Gabby teasing him in her own way. Her teasing could be taken as trash talk as well though.
" Im not going to fight them head on, Im going to seal them with a formation and slowly kill them. I held down dad for a few minutes with his level seventy physical strength. "
Saying that Solomon paused, smirked a bit, ansd then he looked at the three girls.
" So yeah, Im confident. "
" Well I have a level sixty you can take care of, hes been annoying the fuck out of my military. "
" Sorry babe but I just took care of the only level fifty I know of. "
" I have a level eighty you could take of. He is a scholar and not a fighter so if you can seal his magic you should be able to take care of him. The only problem is trapping him, because he is truly a genius. But if you can seal him I can bait him to your trap. "
" Ill have to think about it. I might develop a new formation. "
After that the group began to talk about how each others lives had been going. Deam was doing surprisingly well, she had personally trained up an army of 400,000. She could personally train them thanks to Solomons brodcast formation which let all of the members see her training. She also used a battle formation, also developed by Solomon, to take out seven countries. Including one with a level sixty leading its army.
She took down the army using advanced whittling tactics. She would send regiment after regiment after regiment to slowly fatigue her enemy; after sufficent preperation she used litterally hundreds of ballistas, developed by her, made by her brother to kill the enemy general.
Loretta had taken down twelve countries of weaker standard than Deams, but she had enough un-dead she was going to start attacking way stronger countries. She trained up a unit of living beings she trained to use Biological Manipulation, this was so that she could up grade most of her army quicker. The living beings were slaves she made using a necromancy slave brand. Usually the brand only works on undead but Loretta messed around with it and made it able to be used on living beings. Only females though.
Gabrielle for the most part was doing pretty could but she lost a considerable amount of buisness thanks to the jack-ass level eighty. She had branched out into drug distribution using some plants grown in Loretta and Solomons world. Along with drug trade she had bought hundreds of thousands of books off of Solomon and her library is now the l;argest in her country. She had also been looking for some talents to start training for multiple reasons. Guards, mercernary group, as well as to tranport arms.
After around two days of talking and having fun Deam and Gabby left leaving Solomon and Loretta alone for some " adult time ". Loretta left a day after that.
Solomon got to work on a new formation for sealing only magic and slightly on physical.
Formations are created by putting an idea into runes, items, or both. After that you use Mana to power said formation.

Now you would have to understand what youre doing in order to get maximum effects. Like Solomon needs to know how to seal Mana and then use said knowledge to ingrain runes on a Barrier. Or he would need to know where Earth is and how to connect to the internet in order to access music from his old planet. To explain it to a mortal one could say that formations are like an impossibly complicated formula using random symbols with no set definition. Of course one could use an established magic languange but that could lead to adverse effects apart from the intended idea. Plus Solomon wasnt proficent in any magic languages other the Dragon and Undead.
Thanks to such a rule and being an almost perfectionist when it comes to certain things Solomon has alot of studying to do in order to make new formations.
And so Solomon spent three years creating the perfect formation for sealing. One might think thats a long amount of time but instead its a surprisingly short amount of time.
When he was done Solomon started on a leisurely journey towards Gabbies country. He also got a caught up on the situation from Gabrielle.
Apparently Gabby and the level eighty were about equal in terms of influence in good light. Gabrielle however was alot more powerful in terms of the underworld since the level eighty got an extremely late start compared to her. Gabby also had a more powerful group of talents that he had personally raised, this was thanks to her having better fighting techniques; having better techniques meant more people would want to learn from her. The level eighty had tried time and time again to infiltrate her organization but Gabby had a lie detector formation made by Solo. The formation wasnt full proof but it definitely got the job done. Like this Gabby and the level eighty kept an almost stale mate with Gabby being in the lead. Given long enough though Gabby isnt confident in keeping up with the level eighty. Not because she isnt talented enough but because he had raised his inteligence stats for way longer than she had.
Despite the tense situation Gabby told Solomon she wasnt in any rush and to take his time. So he did.
He pulled out a car designed similar to Solomons first car back on earth, a Chevrolet Tahoe. Massive 28" rims, bright white paint, windows tinted darker than a limos. And last but not least he had a sound system that could shake an entire city. If an average mortal were to come within a mile of Solomon when he was bumping his music their body would fall apart from the vibration.
The sound system wasnt based on his original tahoe.
And so Solomon set off on his hundred thousand mile journey at a leisurely speed of three hundred miles per hour.
He passed lakes, cities, tribes, mountains, forests, plains, and alot of other beautiful scenery.
One of Solomons most memorable moments was when he passed by a monk monastery who worshipped some obscure ancient God that might not have existed. When he passed by them he was blasting some trap song. When they heard his music they all bowed down and started mumbling in deep voices, their voices combined together creating a long series of vibrations. Their voices would make one think of a massive constrictor snake capable of crushing all the bones in your body as though they were twigs. The vibrations caused by their voices created an effect similar to Bass Magic that Solomon helped Gabby create. The bass created by them coalesced together to form a true snake spirit that tried attacking Solomon. The monks had thought Solomons music was a challenge towards them.
Solomon couldnt run away so he activated his Bass Magic to use his sound system created bass to attack the monks snake which was longer than three buses. His bass combined together into an armoured soldier wielding a large glave in one hand and a trumpet in the other. The soldier was wearing bronze colored armour with a golden colored trumpet. The soldier itself was a black man with pure white eyes a bald head a a body made for battle. As the snake was slithering towards the soldier the soldier blew his trumpet in a beautiful piece of war music. Each note would continue in the air despite the soldier no longer playing them. Each standing note would resonate togther in a symphony.
When the soldier finished his war peice the snake finally reached the soldiers attacking range.
The bass soldier stabbed out with his iron spear. The peircing stab went straight for the snakes eyes, unfortunately the snake dodged the strike by inches while still charging the soldier at high speed. Right when the snake bursted out an attack the grab the soldier he used the body of his spear to push the snake sideways. Thanks to his move the soldier was given plenty of time to retract his spear and attack the snake again. This time instead of aiming for something small like the eyeball the soldier instead decided to aim for the top of the snakes head ; such an attack would allow the soldier to disorient the snake letting him have another potential attack. Instead of the stabbing the soldier just gave the most powerful and quick whack using the head of the spear he could. With this whack the soldier achieved his goal of disorientating the boa constrictor allowing him vital time to attack the snake.
Making good use of his time the soldier got in clase to the snake and pulled out a silver glinting dagger that was strapped to his waist. Using the dagger the soldier stabbed into both of the snakes eyes blinding it.
Thanks to this the soldier soon made quick work of the snake eventually stabbing hundreds of holes into its green and black body.
Watching the blind snake struggle arond blindly Solomon felt feeling in his chest, he felt true pity.
Ecer since Solomon was a young lad on earth he never truly felt empathy towards most humans, usually only children and elderly, even then only in some situations. But Solomon has always felt true sadness seeing an animal unable to defend itself; Solomon himself never knew why he had such borderline sociopathic tendencies but it was something that had always worried him. Since he couldnt stand to see the animal suffer Solomon went in quick and crushed its head with a human sized hammer.
Some might argue that such a brutal way of killing it was inhumane but Solomon would rather kill the animal quickly and easily than let it suffer over time.
While Solomon was giving the snake a silent prayer to the Goddess of Death, Souls, and The Underworld the monks started making their way towards them.
He thought they were coming over with bad intentions so he prepared some other magics and made his soldeir prepare, but the monks started screaming and through up their hands.
He used the translation function he added to his Omni-present Library skill. The translations function uses inputed languages to automatically translate languages for Solomon, currently it can only do mortal languages. Any magic languages Solomon would just learn instead of doing translations for.
While they were walking towards him Solomon decided to check out the monks since he had only spared them a glance since hed first seen them.
The monks were all thin bald men, their bodies looked almost anorexic likely from fasting which is something prominent among monks. Adorning their bald heads was a crown of thorns likely to make the monks remember their humility should they ever join the mass population. Their robes were to large for their tiny hungry bodies. Each robe was exactly the same color and style to make the monks lose their individuality.
When the monks came up they started talking to Solomon.
" Hello apostle of God. Are you here to test us petty mortals in our worship of our lord God? "
Solomon couldnt really understand what they were talking about but he kind of had the gist of it.
" What are you all talking about? I am no apostle. "
" Only the apostle of Lord God could use his personal created magic. Let alone be able to beat us in it. You must be an apostle of our Lord God. "
Solomon had finally caught on but he couldnt just let the monks misunderstand.
" I have no idea what you are talking about, I personally helped my cousin create this Bass Magic. "
Hearing Solomon say this the monks huddled up together to discuss. Occasionally they would glance at Solo with reverant glances. Eventually they stopped talking and spread out. When they finally spread out they all bowed down into their knees in worship towards Solomon. Apparently these crazy monks were thinking Solomon was the reincarnation of their Lord God.
Another one of Solomons favorites moments was when he passed by a lake full of naked gray skinned womens. The women had three boobs, four black eyes, and one unicorn horn on their head. Their thighs could crush a watermelon, and their butts could suffocate a man. Most women with asses that large would usually weigh hundred of pounds, but these gals looked looked chubby milfs which were exactly Solomons type. Despite appreciating the scene Solomon was a loyal husband and left after watching for a little while. Good thing to because soon after he left the illusion that was the women dissapated into a massive squid that was hoping to lure Solomon over to " eat " him.
