Chapter 3: How to tame your Kingdom
We’re walking down to the gate to see if we could go out hunting. The roads are made out of dirt and in general the town emits a vibe of security because of the wall. However, that all changed with the invasion. It became even more of a secure place because of me. The chief did go through with his word and gave a reward of 30 gold coin, 50 silver coins, and 95 copper coins.
The system of money in this world was straightforward. 1 platinum is equal to 100 gold coins, 1 gold coin is 100 silver coins, 1 silver coin was 100 copper coins, and lastly 1 copper coin was equal to $0.10 in USD. So, 10 copper = $1. 1 silver is $10. 10 is $100. 1 gold is $1,000. 10 gold was $10,000. Finally, 1 platinum was $100,000. So, I got $30,000 in USD from the mayor. He was very generous.
I used some of that money to buy food and drinks. I also bought metal used in making guns back on the real world. I wanted to test a few things with my magic.
I went back with our food to the inn while Lina sat on the bed, and I back at the workbench. I used the book to find the spell called [Program] and [Unlimited Model]. There was a lower version called [Model] that limited it to 1 gold coin in value. [Unlimited Model] was a Personalized Magic that allowed me to transform anything into any shape or form. I grinned at the possibilities.
First of all, I made a gun called the “Five Seven” and used [Program] to make it automatically make and prepare bullets out of the nearby earth and then put it in the magazine by a button.
I also used [Enchant] to automatically enchant it with [Nullify] to nullify any magic shield or magic and [Maximize] to increase strength and speed of the bullet tenfold. The mana cost would be insane but it’s only 8,000 mana for a magazine, so not much for me.
I obviously wouldn’t use it unless it’s an emergency, because of how stupid it is to show it and give them ideas to make this a medieval World War so I kept it in a holster on my belt for now.
I looked back at Lina to see she was asleep, so I smiled. There were two beds, one on the left, one on the right, and the desk in the middle. There was a drawer and a wardrobe on the left side and right side, and a window looking out in front of the desk. All things considered, it was nice.
I crept outside the door to not wake Lina, and went outside to test the gun I just made. I walked outside the inn and turned left towards the gate when I remembered some rumors about the queen being ill. She had recently come down with this world’s version of cancer, a less painful version but still as deadly. I decided to try to help if I could. The capital was called Torrine, a beautiful city bustling with activity. I teleported to the Royal Gates of Erst, and the guards were startled.
“I heard a rumor that the queen was seriously ill. Is this true?” I asked a guard.
“It is true, but was that teleportation magic?” A guard asked.
“It was. I wanted to make the queen healthy if you could let me inside. I can use all elements and I can cast the [Full Recovery] spell.”
“I see. Come inside, the king will judge you worthy or not.”
I nodded and went inside the palace.

The palace was tall, large, and overall a massive area. The palace looked ¼ of the city of Torrine, which holds over 5 million people in it. Honestly, I couldn’t believe how big it was.
I walked inside and walked on a red carpet, lined with white pillars leading to the throne, a comfy red cushion making it even better.
On the throne, was a giant of a man, he who looked like he could lift this entire palace and hold it for an entire year. I wasn’t nervous, because I could hold the palace for even a century.
The man was sizing me up, and I might as well do the same.

“Your Ma-” A guard started, but I stopped them with a hand.
“Your Majesty, I am here to help your wife with her dilemma. Please, let me save her,” I said.
The king’s eyes sparkled before becoming filled with suspicion.
“Why?”
“Huh?”
“Why would you save her?”
I chuckled.
“That’s simple. I once found myself in the same fate until a man saved me. Ever since, I wanted to save people suffering the same fate.”
“I see. If you manage it, I will reward you greatly. Follow me,” the king said before turning towards a large brown door.
I followed him into a large bedroom that looked like it was crafted by a god.
I turned to the bed where a lady the same age as the King lies.
I inspect her for any other debuff.

The queen lies awake and looks over to us.
“Wh-who is that?” The queen asks weakly.
“I am Christopher Auber, and I’m here to save you from your suffering,” I said, smiling.
I immediately walk over to her bedside and then cast [Full Recovery] and then [Purge Illnesses].
The queen sits up in shock.
“Cured? What?! How?!”
“I can use every magic that existed. I hope you know that you were poisoned. Before you got this, did you eat or drink anything and then feel anything funny?”
“I did… a servant by the name of Rully Ross…”
“King, get all your men on a Rully Ross. He poisoned your queen.”
The king nodded and ran out, but not before thanking me.
“I will reward you properly later! I thank you from the bottom of my heart! You have my gratitude!”
I nodded and smiled.
“Mary, please sit back and rest for a while. I’d guess you didn’t get much sleep from your illness,” I said.
“I will, thank you so much!”
I left the room and ran [Search: 200km] for a Ruli Ros. He was in a shed outside the palace. I decided to tell the king and then I teleported.
“Ruli Ros,” I said.
“Eh? Who are you?” Ruli said.
“I am Christopher Auber, you’re jailer.”
“Jailer?! I didn’t do anything!”
I cast [Lie Detector].
“Are you sure?”
“I am sure!”
Sentence “I am sure” is a lie. Current thought: “Did he find out I poisoned the queen?!”
“You lie.”
The guards swarm behind me and apprehend Ruli. I smile and say one last thing to him.
“Enjoy your execution.”
