Lord Evolution: Starting With SS-rank Skills - Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Opaque reality [ 32 ] Chapter 112: Opaque reality [ 32 ] Rowan stood in his room, staring at the message he had been waiting for since he transmigrated into this world.

He had worked tirelessly, sacrificed his time, lost some of his people, and even killed just to achieve this.

An intense emotion washed over Rowan’s face as his eyes remained glued to the notification floating before him.

DING — Your territory has evolved!

Current rank: F-rank!!

Productivity of all your followers has increased permanently by 50% Productivity of your farmlands has increased permanently by 50% Attack power of your soldiers has increased permanently by 50% Your territory has been registered in the Codex of Territories; territories belonging to transmigrated lords.

Your territory has entered the NOVICE Ranking | Ranking for transmigrated lords under D-rank.

There are weekly and monthly rewards for those in top ranks.

You can access your position.

CONGRATULATIONS!

New criteria for E-rank will be revealed very soon.

— Rowan read the lengthy message, his face filled with emotion.

“This is it.

All my hard work has finally paid off,” he muttered to himself, a wide grin spreading across his face.

The effects of his territory’s evolution were so much better than in the original game, which filled him with excitement.

Also, the introduction of the Codex of Territories and the ranking system gave Rowan a new sense of responsibility and determination to achieve more.

Wasting no time, he commanded, “Open novice ranking,” eager to view the list.

—-[ NOVICE RANKING ]—- Total positions: 9,028 Your position: 9,028 Current recurring rewards: NONE (Enter top 1,000 to obtain your first recurring reward) Do you want to view the top 10?

Cost: 100,000 evolution points — Rowan observed the stats before him, his eyes widening slightly.

He was shocked by the large number of transmigrators on the list.

If there were over nine thousand transmigrators with territories below D-rank, then there were definitely more than a hundred thousand or even a million transmigrators under and above those ranks.

The sheer thought made Rowan frown.

“Why are so many people being sent into this world?

Who is behind this, and what are they trying to achieve?” he couldn’t help but ask himself.

“And people like D’Andre, who have other job classes, aren’t even considered lords!

Which means there might be more than a million transmigrators in this world!” Rowan suddenly realized.

Just thinking about his current situation made his head ache, so he decided to take his mind off it for now.

When he grew stronger and built his territory further, the mystery would definitely begin to reveal itself.

“Show me the top ten list,” he said, pushing aside the troubling thoughts.

DING [100,000 evolution points deducted, revealing list…] —-[ Top 10 Novice Ranking ]—- 1 – Jacking Paul | Dragonstone barony | E-rank 2 – William Chuckwudi | Latec barony | E-rank 3 – Ivan Dreski | Dreski barony | E-rank …

…

10 – Jake Chuckwudi | Latec barony III | E-rank — Rowan checked the list; he wasn’t surprised by the ranking of the territories.

However, two territories caught his attention-the ones belonging to Jake and William, who shared the same surname and territory name.

He couldn’t help but wonder about the relationship between those two.

On the other hand, he felt a bit disappointed that he couldn’t see their skills to copy; these lords would definitely possess far better skills than him.

Rowan closed the window.

“I need to do everything possible to improve my territory and get into the top one thousand rankings to see what kind of rewards are up there.

I’m certain they would be important assets to enhance both my power and territory,” he resolved, setting a new goal for himself.

Seeing the list of the top ten filled him with new motivation to do more, fueling the competitive spirit within him that had died down a bit due to the lack of competition.

Now that one had arrived, he was ready to do everything to stay at the top!

— Winterseed II About a week had passed since the monster attack and the arrival of the village hero, Dragun Winterseed.

In the days that followed, the village was filled with purpose.

Soldiers trained from dawn till dusk, honing their skills with unwavering focus.

They sparred in the open fields, their movements sharp and disciplined.

Farmers doubled their efforts, tending crops while also reinforcing defenses.

They knew the importance of being ready.

Children watched the soldiers with wide eyes.

Inspired, they gathered sticks and practiced mock battles.

Laughter mixed with determination as they mimicked combat moves.

Each swing held the promise of future guardianship.

“One day, we’ll protect everyone,” they thought, gripping their makeshift swords.

Meanwhile, the women kept the village running smoothly.

They prepared meals, cared for the young and the elderly, and ensured daily life continued without a hitch.

Their hard work provided comfort and stability, allowing others to focus on defense.

In a secluded room filled with swirling smoke, Dragun stood before an unusual fireplace.

An oddly shaped pot bubbled over the flames, emitting a soft glow.

The air was thick with the scent of herbs and magic.

He selected special plants with shimmering leaves and added them to the brew.

From a pouch at his side, he took out parts from the slain monsters: sharp fangs, gleaming claws, fragments of dark horns.

One by one, he dropped them into the boiling liquid.

The mixture hissed and changed color with each addition, reacting with bursts of sparks.

“Just a bit more,” Dragun thought, his eyes fixed on the pot.

The room vibrated with energy; the air hummed.

The liquid began to glow intensely, cycling through shades of red, blue, green, yellow, and purple.

Suddenly, five colored smoke rings rose from the pot, floating above him in a mesmerizing dance.

A satisfied smile appeared on Dragun’s face as he observed the reaction.

He had been trying to brew this potion for the past three days but always ended up with unsatisfactory results.

Seeing the five-colored smoke floating in the room, which signified a successful mana-restoring potion, made him smile.

“Finally, I can refill my mana reserve!” he muttered with a smile.
