Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

"Ding Dong! You won the fight over the ancient Golam city."

"Hahaha, thanks a lot my dear system," I laughed over his bitter tone before adding, "where are my rewards?"

"Ding Dong! You got everything here, that's your reward!"

"Stingy bastard!"

"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"

I laughed wholeheartedly while the system kept annoying me with his ding dong alerts with nothing said in between.

"Salute the mighty lady!"

All of sudden Dredly shouted and instantly everyone remaining alive knelt on the ground. It was such a grand scene that made me laugh more while engraving such moments so deep in my mind.

"Stand up my valliant warriors," I said with a joyful tone, "we have an underground armory to swap clean."

"At once my lady," Omad said before turning to everyone around and shouted, "stand up and move. We need to take every single piece we can salvage from here."

His shouts coupled with dozen others from those serving under my mighty leaders drove everyone towards the fort. The fort was now belonging to me, and now I waited in anticipation towards the gains here.

"Oh… this is really generous of you," I laughed while watching the large amount of scrolls and books being fetched from the underground armory.

And from the shape of it this seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg.

"The essentials of quantum physiques… how to forge iron… building floating buildings… hahaha, that's amazing!"

All the names I read around belonged to the basic secrets of how to build a modern city and even an empire. Everything I needed to turn my beggar-like villages into advanced cities was now in my hands.

And now all that remained was to give time for my people to read and learn, practice and fail, before they would finally be able to shape my villages the way I wanted.

"Ding Dong! You have one hour to leave," just in the middle of moving everything, that damned system played his dirty trick and limited the time I had. "Ding Dong! After one hour everyone here will be moved to the village of yours."

"No problem," I turned towards all these items and started a spree of storing them inside my inventory. I didn't hesitate to move downwards personally and take everything inside without waiting for anyone to help.

"Ding Dong! Time is up!" he finally said and I already cleaned the underground armory of all the valuable stuff.

Mechas, scrolls, books, and even gears… I swept the place clean and stood silent for ten minutes before I was kicked out of this world.

The scenes shifted and the next thing I saw was my old village. It was still looking odd to me, but not anymore.

"Go, protect the village and alarm everyone," I said to one of the vampires, "a grand meeting will be held now, go bring me everyone."

The vampires moved fast while the giant leaned his gigantic body over my head and I felt like the entire world was crashing over me.

"What about me?" he asked.

"And us?" Omad and Dredly asked.

"I doubt our victory here will pass without any retaliation," I said while thinking deeply about the strange silence of my system since my win, "so stay alert and arrange defensive patrols all over the place."

They nodded before leading their men and vanished from my sight. As for my giant, he seemed quite hesitant.

"What?" I asked.

"Can you think of a way to awaken my friends and family?"

My eyes suddenly shone before thinking about the big price I paid to awaken my giant. Of everything valuable in this world, I couldn't get a single pearl out of that place.

"Sorry, I have no means to do that now," I said before adding, "but I promise once I get more pearls I won't hesitate to awaken more of your kin."

He seemed happy as he nodded and went towards the side of the village where that corridor was situated and laid his body there. It seemed like a huge mountain appeared in the area, changing its topography there.

The promise I gave him wasn't just mere words. After all I knew if not for him, that battle wouldn't have ended in such victory and I would have lost everything.

As I glanced at the mountainous ground around my villages, I saw many holes where the workers of the villages were doing their best to excavate ores.

"Ores… that would be problematic," I muttered as most of the books and knowledge I gained depended entirely on an endless amount of ores. "I need to solve this problem then," I turned to my giant before muttering, "and his kin are the key for that."

I knew he had an earth affinity where he could detect ores and even help in excavating them. One giant was good for now, but soon I would need more.

The amount of ores I would need to build my desired empire and civilization was astronomical. I doubted the reserves around here would be enough, either in quantity or quality.

"Sigh, I think you are laughing at me right now because of my distasteful system," and I couldn't help but say and he still remained silent.

And that meant he was scheming something, something very bad. Yet I wasn't that worried. After all, I got enough mechas and war tools to defend this place from any hostiles.

"Bring me whatever you can, I'll make sure to crush them all!" I laughed and let all my worries fade away. "First things first," and I moved inside my town where large numbers of my villagers kept flooding from everywhere.

It was time to educate them and let them study.

It's time to build my academy and library.

The village wasn't that small but I felt it was crowded at this moment. Tens of thousands of my villagers couldn't be gathered inside the town, yet once I reached the center of the town I found Jack standing there.

He was smiling proudly and I knew the vampires must have delivered brief news about what happened inside that expedition.

"Welcome back my lady," he greeted before adding, "very big victory and I'm very proud to serve such a mighty and brave lady."

I laughed at his words before saying, "arrange people to deliver my words to everyone, I want all to hear and understand well what I'm going to say."

I turned around before adding, "find me Dore, Meck, Cale, Fared, Enly, and Anjor… I want all of you to be present beside me while announcing our next big plan."

"Right away my lady," he bowed his head before moving fast and vanished off my sight.

"This is destined to be a big day, a memorable moment of my future empire," and I glanced at these tens of thousands from the top of the big mansion in the center.

And I knew this was just a humble beginning. "Just wait, once I start building my dream city and everything in this world will be ruled by me," I laughed while imagining the endless number of my future followers and the grand armies I would lead once again after establishing my empire.
