Before I get to bed I hear abyss calling.
“what is it?”
“your world's currency”
“what about it?”
“it would help your people...”
“how?”
“it would switch them from a barter system to a monetary one.”
“oh I guess that would be pretty hard to do”
“it would greatly improve the rate of growth as people would be able to trade much easier...”
“fine when do you need it?”
“today would be nice...”
I get out of bed get dressed and walk out the room in dark clothes. I then sneak out of my room and into the halls, and then out the halls and out the school and head towards the bank. I can see rich people walking in and out and after 2 hours I have taken much from them about 50 gold coins. I go to the front desk for commoners
“hello sir can I have my coins exchanged?”
“sorry we don't have any gold right now”
“no that's fine i'm looking for copper”
he looked at me surprised and I handed all the money I had swiped. What? Why would I use my own money?
(reminder from chap 14 currency 1 gold = 10 silver 1 silver = 1000 copper copper is very abundant in this world silver and gold is not)
(50x10x1000)
after a while he came back
“follow me this way sir”
I followed him and arrived in a big office. A short stubby ugly man was in a chair. And I mean ugly my goblins were better looking then this disgusting man.
“so you want 500 000 copper coins eh?”
“yup”
“well I only have 460 000 thousand”
“then just give me the 4 gold coins back and the copper.”
“well you see that's were we have a problem I already lent the gold to a noble and all my silver too”
“so? I still want my money back.”
I said it calmly and unworried acting like a noble expecting him to just pull money out of his ass.
“well you see sir Friday we collect the interest and will be able to pay you”
“how am I supposed to hold you to your word?”
“I can give you a bank note would that be acceptable?”
“for 75000 it would be”
“that's 35 000 to much!”
“do you want to be known as a swindler and a thief it will ruin you.”
“but that much interest is insane!”
“you took my money all the same.”
he grumpily takes out paper from his desk writes on it and hands it to me. I slip it into my ring and follow the clerk out. we arrive into a big room with a mountain of copper I take all of it put it into the ring it takes 2 hours. much to the awe of the clerk. I then leave the bank and the clerk changes the sign to closed. I get home and travel to the dungeon. The travel is kind of weird because it feels the same as walking through a door. Absolutely normal. I arrive and am greeted by a different group who made the same snark comments as the last batch. So I played some bowling with them. They didn't enjoy it for some reason, wonder why. They again lead me to the village but it wasn't as exciting as last time as it was the exactly the same. We again arrived at the village center and the village chieftain approached, he was an old man. I wonder why they let him rule since it was still strongest rules all.
“God it was been many years since we last met to you remember me?”
I stare at him for about ten minutes and realize who he was.
“wait are you the idiot who thought you could take on by the gate last time?”
“no I was the man beside that idiot who lead you to the village”
“hmm seems your intellect has allowed you to become the chief”
“yes you blessed me”
“well anyways I came to drop something off”
I pour out all the copper from my storage ring and their eyes light up like the sun. I mean they are still goblins to start, so greed is still a trait although I doubt its as bad as a normal human as they haven't seen anything shiny in many generations.

“well I'm tired you guys got somewhere for me to sleep?”
“yes Assmeal lead him to the great hut”
“yes father”
looks like the half-goblins still have terrible naming skills. He lead me to a hut and I slept. When I woke up they were sparing with each other. I got up and looked at them. They all had Rome legionary armour on. The ones who didn't had bows and arrows. Although they didn't have quivers. After watching them awhile I noticed that they were using mana to create the arrows and then firing. I went to the chief to talk to him.
“hello God what can I do for you?”
“I would like a bow like your archers”
before I had even finished one was given to me seems that they had been watching me watch the archers.
“also I would like to teach your soldiers how to fight in formations”
“what are these formations??”
I explained what a formation was and then spent 2 years teaching the goblin-men how to use the Tortoise ,The Wedge ,The Orb and how to repeal Calvary since the repeal Calvary tactic required javelins or spears the goblins where now each outfitted with 2 javelins, a sword, a shield and armour. It was all made out of modified dark light weed so all of it was completely black making them look quite menacing while marching. I taught them about marching on bridges (march out of sync or risk breaking the bridge) basic math so that they could organize themselves and create standards of 100 men each. And then it was time to leave.
I got out of the dungeon and looked at my watch only a mere two hours had passed but I had lived two years with my fanatic followers. I had told them to remember that I was short but strong and they had just finished a statue in my likeness before I left. I had ordered them to make it to my height so as to avoid confusion the next time I came to the dungeon. As I was about to go to bed I heard something from the kitchen. I hadn't bothered to take off my Armour and so picked up all my equipment. The bow, the 2 javelins, my sword and shield. I walked right into the kitchen to find my ditz of a roommate in their again. If I remember correctly she did do this once before. Although I am not exactly sure.. what was her name again? And those kids I hanged out with before I left? Ah well I’ll just improvise.
The whole time I had just been standing right behind her not making a sound. Its been a while since ive seen a girl. My eye naturally scale down her body. Well she is kind of young but hey she looks better then my disciples *shivers* as I stare at her *ss I notice she isn't wearing pants sadly she is wearing underwear. Didn't she do the same thing last time? I gently poke her in the back. She turns around her eyes are completely closed. I simply stare at her. Is she sleep walking? I poke her right in the forehead. She opens her eyes looks at me and then her eyes roll up to the back of her head and she falls over. I looked down. I was holding a sword towards her. I then realize how scary I look. Awesome! Intimidation rocks! I pick her up throw her over my shoulder bring her back to her room then return to my own room.
