With the lake west of where he was, mountains east and with the dense forest surrounding him from south and north, the place where he decided to place the stone was a natural fortress. Very difficult to be attacked from land !
Alex placed the creation stone in the location he saw most fit and as if it were magic, purple light came out of the floating village stone .
And from that purple light , 3 buildings and 5 men were manifested.
Alex couldn’t believe his eyes !
“A stone starts floating then purple light comes out of it and instantly takes the shape of 5 humans .. Also spawns buildings instantly... this shit is insane “
He was really trying to shut his inner voice who kept telling him that he had gone insane from extreme poverty and lack of social life.
“Everything will be explained soon, I am sure it will “
Thats what he kept telling himself during the whole process, but it was good he tried convincing himself that way.
Otherwise the scene where his thunderbird spirit came out in the form of an image and started shooting thunderbolts from the clouds would have driven him insane .
______
“Woww did you see that ? “
“Yeah, a bird who can use thunder? That
Lucky bastard must be the 10th supreme”
“No need to be jealous little brother, the dragon and hydra looked a lot cooler .
Whoever this 10th is , he is probably the weakest out of them “
________
What Alex didn’t know was that even though he was continents away from the other players, they could still see the images in the sky quite clearly.
They were gigantic after all....
But that was not his concern anyway, stupid Alex in his arrogance had thought that he alone had entered this strange place... He had no idea that the outside world was in turmoil right now.
Forums had been created, information was leaked about the 10 supremes who had already become celebrities and were being commercialised by their respective governments in order to calm down the public who had quit their jobs to enter this strange game, especially after they heard that a single copper coin could be traded for 1000$ .

Alex had no idea about all of that, right now he was only focused on avoiding conflict and growing in peace in this great location that he had found .
“We greet the lord “
The five figures all bowed in submission.
“This game is too realistic “
“Realistic lord? “
Confused though they were by their lord’s unreasonable behaviour, they went on and introduced themselves.
The first to speak was Mark Anthony , but he needed no introduction.
Even a complete normie like Alex knew who he was, the right hand man of one of the greatest men on earth. Julius Cesar !
Mark Anthony wasn’t only his right hand man who assisted him in becoming Emperor of Rome, he was also a great general and tactician, not to mention that his woman to this day is known as the prettiest woman on earth .. Cleopatra !
“Cleopatra would be nicer to have to be honest but you will do too “
“Cleopatra what lord ? “
“Seems like you no longer have those memories, well not that it matters.
A game could only be this realistic after all, it cant be the real deal “
He then went on to greet Flamma, a truly muscular and big gladiator who was very welcomed by Alex .
Since he was a coward he didn’t mind having these strong “servants” to protect him in times of danger .
He also met with the merchant Septimius who by far was the most favourite of the bunch, just like Alex all he thought of was making money .
“Deli the Wild is what I’m called lord, i promise you to train the best warhorses for your army . They wont be scared to ride to their deaths, on the contrary they will die proudly “
“For my army? My dear friend we have no armies and no horses yet, but soon we shall so don’t fret “
He had learned to speak this way by watching movies....
“Ill get in character aswell” - he thought
“And who might you be ? “
“Cato Priscus, lord . The greatest mind of the roman republic “
Alex disliked his narcissistic remarks since it reminded him one of the oldest kids in the orphanage who used to beat the living shit out of him.
But still since he was on his team he was glad he had him, even though right now he wouldn’t be of much use .
“Right now our population is 0 , but we will slowly grow and become the overlords of this region. Even though there isn’t much to do right know i shall still divide your roles so you will know what’s expected of you”
“ We obey the lord “
“ Mark Antony will be the general of our soldiers, he is responsible for their training ,their tactics , their behaviour and everything warfare related “
Anthony bend the knee and stood in front of him with his head lowered.
“Flamma will be my personal guard , he is responsible for my safety and will take orders from me alone “
Even though he wasn’t very smart , Flamma copied what Anthony did .
“As for the rest of you, you will be on duty when the time comes . For the moment you will take care of our villagers and maintain law / order “
By the time their population grew, their duties will be more specific and their area of influence will expand .
For the moment all he needed to do is understand this place more, and of course... eat !
“I can also feel hunger inside of a game, such is the fate of the poor “
He took Anthony and Flamma and they went hunting !
