Encounter

The next morning, the production of the [Curse Land] was complete.

[Curse Land] was like a camp or house for undead creatures. This increased the maximum number of his unit by twenty so right now he could create twenty-one more units as he already had two.

He thought that he could unlock other units or buildings by building this one but he was wrong. [Curse Land] could only increase the limit of the number of his unit. But it was better than nothing.

He could only blame himself for expecting so much.

But he found that he could build another [Curse Land]. It wasn't bad as he thought. But then, he doesn't have enough space in his territory so he had to upgrade the [Foul Domain] before he could build another [Curse Land].

When the slaves became his citizens, he found that he could observe his subjects. He could hear what they were hearing and he could see what they were seeing just like what he could do to his units. The only difference was that he couldn't control their body.

Their senses were connected to him so he knows what they were doing.

So for his citizens, he was omnipresent. They couldn't hide anything from him. Their private life, Gin could easily know their secrets using his ability. So if someone planned to rebel against him, he would immediately know it. Unless that person wasn't a citizen of his country.

"This is great... I don't need to worry about rebellion with this ability." Gin muttered as he glanced at Ton who was guarding him.

"Call Lovi here." He ordered Ton. Ton bowed in front of him before he left, the sound of bones scraping each other could be heard.

He waited for a while before Lovi arrived.

"Good day, My Lord." Lovi lowered his head as he greeted Gin respectfully.

'I'm not use being called like that.' He said inwardly but he knew that he had to get used to it. He also didn't let it show on his face that he was uncomfortable.

Well, it's just a matter of time before he got used to it. Back in his father's mansion, all the maids there were calling him Young Master.

He shook his head and placed those thoughts in the back of his mind. He had important things that he needed to ask to Lovi.

"You can sit down, Lovi. I have something to ask you."

He let Lovi seat as Lovi would remain standing if he didn't receive his permission.

It's time for him to know about this world.

He asked Lovi about the state of this world. Lovi was just a small child but he knew a lot of things. He received education from the slave trader to raise his value.

Also, this little boy was the closest to him among all the people here.

The first thing that he asked was about this forest.

This forest was the largest forest in this world. It was larger than any country out there and countless monsters were living here earning the nickname Monster Paradise but its true name was Ocean Woods.

Most of the people were afraid to go inside this forest as they knew that countless monsters were living inside it.

"So it means that those countries wouldn't find us here in this place..." Gin said as he glanced at Lovi.

"Yes and No. Sometimes those countries would send some force to investigate a part of this place. They were wary of the monster tide that's why they clean up monsters from time to time." Lovi shook his head as he replied to him.

"Cleaning up the monster...? Tell me more about it." Gin spoke as he rested his chin on his palm.

Lovi slowly explained what the countries did to avoid the monster tide. Every year, the countries surrounding this forest were sending an army to decrease the population of the monster in this forest.

They didn't go deep inside the forest as it will take them one or two weeks before they arrived in the inner part of the forest. So most of the countries only cleaned the monsters on the outer part of the forest.

"When was the last time they clean up this forest?" Gin asked an important question.

"Seven months ago... We only have five more months before they conduct the cleaning in this part of the forest," Lovi answered his question with a grave expression.

Five months, what could they do in just five months? It's impossible for them to repel the army that was going to come here in this forest.

"My Lord, I suggest that we leave this forest. It's dangerous here." Lovi said to him in a polite tone.

"No, that's not possible. This is my territory. I will not grow stronger if I leave this place." Gin shook his head as he rejected Lovi's suggestion.

That's the only thing that he couldn't do. He wasn't going to abandon this place and settled somewhere far from this forest. Nope, that's a big NO for him. He already abandoned this place when a level 3 monster attacked in the past but that monster didn't stay here for too long because of the dead mana. That's why he could always return here after the monster left.

After that Gin asked about the countries around this forest. The closest country in their place was the Great Gan Empire. It was a powerful country and it was currently in a war against its three neighboring countries.

The village before was a part of this empire. He understood that those guards were wary about him because he was suspicious at that time. Wearing different clothes and have different language.

But the thing that they did to him... He wouldn't be able to forget it.

"Great Gan Empire...? For now, I'm like a small ant in front of them but one day, I will have the power to confront them." Gin murmured as he tightly clenched his fists.

"My Lord?" Lovi called him when he saw that he was in a daze.

"It's okay. I'm just thinking about something." Gin spoke calmly.

Aside from that, he also found that there were demons in this world.

What a generic fantasy world...

But the number of demon lords in this world was higher than he imagined. There were twelve demon lords in this world. Each one of them possessed overwhelming power.

Of course, if there were demon lords here there were also heroes in this world. Hero and Demon Lord were titles just like his [Abomination King]. These two titles brought people who possessed them a great power that they couldn't imagine.

He hasn't heard these two titles on earth. He wondered just how much it could enhance the power of the user.

Gin suddenly stood up with a gloomy expression that surprised Lovi who was in front of him. He was deeply thinking about the information he got from Lovi that he forgot that Gardi and the other two were hunting monsters for their meal.

After a few moments, Lylia arrived with beads of sweat on her forehead.

"My Lord, Gardi and the others encounter a group of goblins on their hunt. Gardi took an injury in their confrontation."

She kneeled and said hurriedly.
