As he logged in, his size had changed massively, ridiculously, however it did not surprise him anymore, well, not entirely.
He was around 10m tall now, and about 25m long, ridges were starting to form along his back, and his teeth had grown longer and sharper.
His scales had also become a slightly darker blue, yet still in the region of azure.
First, he needed to check up for any complications within the castle, though palace might define it better.
The control room, while servants did not have access, was still extremely clean, though this might have been the effect of one of the sigils.
He had just woken up, yet he was immediately awake when he realised what was outside.
An army.
Outside was an army of soldiers, perhaps from the kingdom’s military, who were all camping outside the palace.
He quickly turned into his human form and teleported to the side of the island, promptly jumping down.
A cloud of dust surfaced when he landed, the impact had seemingly hurt the surrounding soldiers more than himself, though they must have been well trained, as they immediately pointed their weapons at him.
People surrounded him from all sides, thinking they were stopping his movement.
“Sorry, but why are you at my home?”
“H-home?” Stuttered the leading soldier, “This is a dungeon! Albeit a powerful one. I am the leader of this squadron, who are you?”
“Well, I’m called Ren, sometimes Azure, and occasionally Mr.Flame, and you are currently looking at my dungeon, I apologise for the misunderstanding, I never thought my first guests would be an army!”
Before the man could utter another word, Ren leaped upwards, catching hold of the side of the mountain, then sprung himself up again, and landed softly on the grass.
Wide-eyed the soldiers could do nothing but gawp at the scene, as they realised that he was someone beyond their possibilities.
Above, Ren smirked and decided that if they bought someone powerful, they might actually beat his first floor, therefore, he started to construct the second, this one was unlike the first, which was cramped and with constant turnings.
The second floor was one large room, shaped in the Ying-Yang shape, The white was rock and the Black was lava, while the two small circles were geysers that constantly shot out acid, this funneled around and with the help of a gigantic fan, continued constantly around.
The floor would spin at random times, at random speeds and random lengths, with no more than a 5 second interval.
This was designed to stop his current ‘guests’ as when the floor moved, they would all topple like dominoes into the lava.
He also added turrets that would constantly shoot paralysis poison, to hinder movement.
Once they got through all that, there was a boss room, with three level 75 minions, and a single level 100 boss, at the end there were three Ultra-Rare level items, a staff, armour, and sword.
There was also a massive payout of 10000 Gold coins.
Well, massive for others.
He then constructed stairs to the next part, with a teleport circle to the ground, and a sign with the words “Sorry, not done, Come again soon!”
Now he had built this castle, he realised it was about time to visit his old friends from Naratic, therefore he teleported to the side of the island without army soldiers, and, at his smallest form, dropped and flew close to the ground, once he was a while away, he changed into his largest form, and flew in the direction the map said that old castle was.
As he had moved a while away when moving the island, he had to fly for a while, yet he made up for this with his current speed.
After almost an hour of flying, and occasional hunting, he finally came into view of the castle, which was far different from his memory.
Though it may have only been a few days, houses were constructed everywhere, and the surrounding land was flourishing.
He again became smaller, and landed near the castle, which he assumed the chief lived in.
The castle was obviously, much grander than his old house, and he assumed the chief was happy with it. Ren had only met the villagers of Naratic, however there were seemingly other people here. As he walked up to the gate, however, the guards were villagers of Naratic, and let him in with an excited look on their faces.
After using his memory of this place, he searched around for the place where the village chief would be, and eventually found him in his living room.
“Haha, You seem to be building some sort of city here!”
“Uh-ah, MY LORD! I thought we’d never see you again!” The old man was startled with the sudden appearance of Ren. (I mean 'my Lord' as an expression, not as him calling Ren that.)
The expression of the man changed into one of pride, and he started to recount the story of what had happened to Ren.
“When you first gave us this as our home, there was a rush to build simple shacks and establish order, once everyone had settled, scouts were sent into the surrounding area, where we discovered a bandit group, simply trying to feed their children, therefore we absorbed them into our village, after making an agreement not to tell them of our beliefs.”
“From there we used them as guards, and they thankfully bought a few skilled craftsmen with them, after absorbing several villages further out, we now resemble a small city somewhat.”
Ren was shocked about the stroke of luck they had had with the nearby villages and the bandits for guards, however, after considering the fact that as a newly established city, they may be struggling with money, he decided to help them out slightly.
He firstly, to the shock of the chief, handed over a bag containing 150000 gold coins, this was a large amount to even Ren, however due to the fact he had lots of sympathy for them, and the fact that they were in this predicament because of him, he decided it was necessary,
The chief was shocked at seeing this amount of money, it was far more he had ever seen in his life, however, he gulped down his surprise and took the money.
After a few words of thanks, Ren took his leave, preparing to start the next stage of improving their village.

He headed in the direction of Herdhall, however, with his current human transformation, his body was extremely strong, so unlike his normal flying, he ran there instead, and simply jumped over the wall.
Had it been his first time here, guards would have been issued to arrest him, however by now, everyone had heard of his appearance in the event they saw him, so he was ignored, despite the few jealous stares.
He landed near the adventurers guild and walked right up to the quest board, placing three quests on it.
Though you would normally have to go through whoever was at the desk to place a quest, his current position far exceeded even the king, as the adventurers guild and merchant guild was not limited to only humans, and were both continental businesses.
Only if an emperor appeared, would they be below him.
However at the moment, Ren was possibly the strongest person in the races that you could normally choose from, lower than only some bosses and elder dragons.
The quests were all ones to get you to come to the new town, mining opportunities, new herbs and possibilities for employment.
The quest immediately had people milling all around attempting to see what this Alpha rank adventurer had put on the quest board.
They were shocked that such a high up person was merely advertising a city, however they had come to the conclusion with limited facts that he had used his large wealth to found a city.
With this spreading around, hundreds, perhaps thousands, set off to this city in search of wealth.
Even if the quest had not been set by him, there would still be many going as it allowed cheap purchase of territory when the city was still new, and smaller guilds, with a patriarch, would be started in an attempt to manopolise the city’s trade.
Now, he had to travel back to the new city to complete the next stage of his plan.
He ran at full speed, far faster than the people who had followed the quest to get there, and had reached it in only a few minutes.
Although it was new, the city already had defined borders, yet there had not been enough time to set up a proper city wall.
Therefore, the next part of his plan was to improve the security in ways like the wall.
Without consulting the chief, he formed a stone wall going all around the city, making it extremely compact, then dousing it in fire.
Currently, people were starting to panic in the city, the wall, about 10m high, had been mistaken for an enemy attempt to hold them in.
Ignoring them, Ren next formed a magical barrier just outside the city wall, this would allow any archers standing on the wall to be able to shoot without any attacks back.
The barrier was roughly around three times the height of the wall.
Finally he dug trenches going all around the wall, around 5m deep, and about 8m wide, meaning most types of siege machines would be unable to break through.
At this point the people in the city were constantly trying to break through, but with their low levels, they could barely scratch the stone wall.
He projected his voice around the city, using wind magic to carry his voice further, “Citizens, please calm down, this wall has been placed here for your protection and nothing else.”
Hearing his voice, some of the citizens started to calm down, apart from the few who were overly cautious.
The chief had known who it was by the voice, and had then sent around messengers to give the citizens a definite word that the wall was entirely safe and there was no need to worry.
Meanwhile, Ren had started to make a large arch at the entrance of the city, covering the outside with protective runes, such as ones that will check for malicious intent, and others that will freeze such people.
Finally he placed a retractable drawbridge going over the trench, strengthening it with magic so it can stand the weight of some larger merchant carriages, and not shatter when enemies attempt to break in.
Finally, he gave it the function to draw back extremely quickly, meaning in the event of any sudden attacks, the defence would quickly seal up the wall.
He had considered making more barriers underground, however this would stop any underground structures being built, or underground mining operations being formed.
Therefore with the completion of the wall, he had only one more step to do in the city.
He headed over to a part of the city that was mostly just empty land.
When he had gained the hundreds of different skills and magics from his ‘island’, he had gained several summoning ones, however they were mostly to be used on his land only, and most of the ones that could be used outside could only be used for a short period of time.
However, this was all apart from a single magic.
‘Golem Creation’
This one allowed you to control the elements to create humanoid creatures, with a size and strength depending on how much mana you put in them.
He used this to make hundreds of earth golems around 3m tall, then around one-hundred 5m tall, ten 10m tall, and one 50m tall.
The 3m tall ones were set to patrol around the city, and detain suspicious individuals.
The 5m ones were placed on the walls, given bows and the ability to form arrows out of their body and the ground.
The 10m tall ones were sent to the gate and the chief's house, if people were frozen at the gate, they would detain them and take them to the prison.
The final 50m tall one was sealed up inside a boulder, and set to only come out in the event of a high level enemy that somehow broke through the wall.
Now the city had high level protection, his plan was finally complete, once the people from Herdhall got here, the economy would boost severely, and there was little chance of anyone with bad intentions getting in.
Since he had assumed the city lord had heard his announcement earlier, he didn’t go to his house, and instead used the command “Teleport, Azure Flame, Player Home”, lay down to sleep in front of his castle, and exited the game.
