[Evil Empire]

"Eh...! What's this?"

He was shocked when he saw the words in his vision.

The heck!!

It was really a game.

The ability that he awakened was a game system.

But then he found that it was only the effect of his title [Abomination King]. He could see the details of everything that connected to him as he was their lord.

If that's the case then he doesn't need this crystal plate anymore. He placed the plate in his pocket and tried if he could see his stats but he found that he couldn't. He could only see the stats and details of his subjects, not himself.

"Too bad..." Gin sighed as he looked on the ground. It would be convenient if he could see his stats just like in the game.

Still, it was pretty unbelievable that he obtained a title when he awakened his ability. Most of the people would only gain a title when they reached level 3 or 4. Maybe, it was connected to his ability [Evil Empire]. The effect and name could be associate with each other.

The [Evil Empire]. He could create his empire with enough energy. But there's a lot of limitation to it with his current level.

The [Abomination King]. He could see the details of his subjects and the stats of the subjects will increase by twofold within two hundred meters radius around the king. Also, he could detect if his subject was lying through this title.

This title was really connected to his ability [Evil Empire]. Without this ability, the effect of the title was pretty much useless to everyone except him.

He said 'Yes' in his mind and the atmosphere around him suddenly change.

Ohm!

[You've successfully established your territory!]

[Foul Domain]

» 10 square meters

» Increases the troops' overall stats by 2 inside the territory

» Increases the lord's overall stats by 3 inside the territory

"It's really good..." Gin looked at it with a satisfied expression. His territory increases his fitness and his troops.

But... 10 square meters? Damn! That's too small. He thought that this whole forest would become his territory.

At least he didn't lose his energy capacity or any other things that he had.

Huff!

He calmed down as he understood that his territory would grow larger in the future. This ability wasn't for fighting but for building like this. He would get the best benefits in the future once he expands his empire.

"Oh! That's right... I will seriously try to build my empire today. There's a chance the I will get some valuable information if I become a big shot."

Gin muttered while rubbing his chin. It was a good idea for him plus creating an empire was inevitable for him because of his awakened ability.

Now that he established his territory, Gin unlocked a few functions of [Evil Empire]. He could now build structures in his territory.

[Evil Empire]

» Buildings

• [Imperial Malice Palace] cost: 5 energy pool

• [Flesh Tree] cost: 1 energy pool

• [Curse Land]: cost: 3 energy pool

» Troops

• [Brittle Skeleton] cost: 2 energy pool

• [Rotten Ghoul] cost: 2 energy pool

• [Crying Zombie] cost: 2 energy pool

These were all the things that he could create with his current level. He realized that to upgrade it, he needed to increase his level. Specifically, evolution in crystal plate.

The only problem was... Fuck! This was too much! It's costly! It will make him weaker in exchange for these buildings and troops!

It will be okay for him if it only consumed his energy but decreasing the energy pool was entirely different. Energy like mana was easy to recover but energy pool was very hard. From 9 energy pool to 10 energy pool. It took him one year before he accomplished it.

And that [Imperial Malice Palace] cost 5 energy pool. What the heck!

"I need to calm down..."

Gin closed his eyes as he inhaled deeply and letting it out softly. He got agitated because he didn't want to lose his strength.

He had to make a hard choice. If there were powerful monsters here then he needed to summon his troops even if he lost his energy pool.

All right, let's summon it.

He opened his palm and black energy gathered on it.

Hmm? Black? My mana is color black... Nevermind, let's continued summoning this creature.

He felt his strength decreased as he used his ability. It was a faint feeling but he knew that he reverted to being an ordinary person.

Does this mean that he would lose his ability?

Ohm!

A black mana continued to spun around and Gin simply looked at it. The mana slowly formed into a humanoid figure. It then formed bones, organs, flesh, and skin.

It has a stinky smell and its flesh was rotting. Green liquids were flowing down from its mouth, eyes, and some of its wounds. This was the [Rotten Ghoul].

It took five minutes before the production completed. Hmm... Five minutes per unit? That's not bad.

"Fuck!" Gin quickly pinched his nose and looked away. The appearance of this creature was scary. It was turning his stomach upside down.

He needed to get used to it. His summons was going to be like this one. After all, he was the [Abomination King].

"Oh, right? My ability."

He hurriedly took out the crystal plate and channeled his mana in it.

Name: Gin Yotaka

Race: Human

Title: [Abomination King]

Evolution: Zero level

Energy Pool: 8

Fitness: 8 (5+3)

Abilities: [Evil Empire]

His fitness didn't decrease that much. He thought that it would be reverted back to 2. His fitness before he awakened was 2 so he thought that he would be back to that level but he was wrong.

Also, his ability was still here. He was right. People wouldn't lose their ability once they've awakened it. There were some cases like this on the earth but he doubted that. He thought that it was false but it seems that those people were right. Then, he wouldn't be able to awaken another ability if he became a level 1 mutant.

Well, it was fair. If people could awaken an ability every time they mutate then they would become overpower easily.

At least, he got some useful ability and that's enough for him.

Using the effect of his title, he looked at the status of his summon.

• [Rotten Ghoul]

Evolution: 0

Energy Pool: 8

Power: 8 (6+2)

Speed: 7 (5+2)

Physical Resistance: 8 (6+2)

Energy Resistance: 5 (3+2)

Abilities: [Poisonous Touch]

"8 energy pool...? Then, it would be weaker than level 1 mutants." Gin said while looking at the stats of his summon.

The stats that he could see was better than the crystal place. If he could only see his stats like this then he would be able to understand his strength better.

The stats added was the effect of being inside the [Foul Domain]. It's better if he will fight his opponent inside his territory. It will give him a huge advantage.

"Good. This is enough. It's time to scout this forest."
