Simon Marshall

Bedbug Town - Northern End of Bonfront Empire

This city is very ugly and poor, but it has a high population due to the low tax, around 40 thousand

The city walls are about 8 meters long and made of black wood, it is stronger than common wood but does not reach the level of a stone wall.

In an inn, a young man was sleeping soundly in bed, he smelled of alcohol

The young man had long dark blue hair, white skin and strange sharp teeth, his appearance was beautiful but strange.

This young man is Simon Marshall, second son of the Marquis Yuri Marshall, a great nobleman of the empire.

In fact he transmigrated, in his last life he was an ordinary college student after he died of choking his soul merged with the body of this noble son who was 13 years old at the time

Simon didn't have a system but it awakened a rare and unique skill in his eyes, he could see potential in people and for 3 years he would roam the slave market and buy the ones that had potential

In all he recruited 35 slaves, gave freedom, dignity and provided resources for everyone to learn, among the most notable were Jonathan with 8th order swordsmanship potential and a beautiful elf named Anne with ninth order wind mage potential. .

Simon had no ambition to steal from his elder brother Gustav's inheritance, he wanted to join forces and go to the southern tip of the empire and use force to conquer lands for him.

However at the age of 16 Simon was in for a surprise, 34 of his subordinates abandoned him and swore loyalty to the talented brother Gustav.

This broke Simon's heart, he went into depression and then quietly left his father's manor along with Chapman, the only faithful man.

Chapman was a slave, half beast descended from the snake tribes, he declined Gustav's offers and remained faithful to Simon.

For two years the two traveled across the empire, and now they've arrived in this shitty city in the empire's ass.

Simon slept like a corpse because he got really drunk yesterday

The bedroom door opened, a tall man with white scarves half his face entered, Chapman of the half-beast race and the only one to follow Simon

"master wake up we got a problem wake up" Chapman yelled, his snake tongue gave a funny accent

"5 more minutes" Simon

"Master, wake up or we're going to be orc food" Chapman

Simon opened his eyes

"What? What do you mean?" Simon

"I heard movements at the city gate, it's only 6 am, after I went to check I saw that the baron who owns the city and his family fled with their things and their personal army" Chapman

In the empire there is a law for all the nobles of the frontier, they are forbidden to abandon the lands in case of invasion and if they do they lose the right to the lands, so for the baron to do this it can only mean that staying here is worse than losing the territory

"Fuck, there are orc tribes to the north, quick let's get out of here before the city falls into chaos" Simon got up to put on his pants

But it was late, the guard leader appeared at the bedroom door and knelt down.

"Simon Marshall, the current Baron has fled and the territory has no owner, following the law of the empire the citizen with the highest status automatically receives the lands and the mission to defend the territory, please guide us" The guard leader shouted from knees

The guard leader was a warrior of the third rank and his voice was loud, which woke people up.

Simon was about to refuse and walk away when a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
