The plains were still, the skies overhead an endless ocean of cerulean blue. Wind danced gently over untouched grass, the silence broken only by the soft humming of magical energy radiating from the young sovereign now standing at the center of it all.
Shin folded his arms, his posture relaxed yet commanding. His eyes, sharp and glinting with intrigue, turned toward the floating, luminous figure beside him. She shimmered in hues of sapphire and amethyst, her form almost ethereal—an artificial intelligence laced with divine energy.
He tilted his head and smirked.
"Do you come with a gift package, Heart?" he asked. "And are my weapons in storage?"
The AI's eyes sparkled as she clasped her hands behind her back, her wings flickering with starlight.
["Yes, big brother!"] she chirped, her tone playful and melodic. ["Your weapons are safely stored, along with your starter gift package."]
"Open it up for me."
A familiar ding echoed in the air, followed by a radiant scroll of light unfurling before him. Words of divine script wrote themselves across the air.

Shin's smile grew, slow and satisfied. "Little sis, go ahead and place all the structures and farmland in an ideal formation."
["Of course, big brother!"]
Heart lifted her hands with divine grace. Magic surged from her core in a radiant wave. The land trembled gently, reshaping under the influence of divine architecture. Stone rose from the earth, timber molded into walls, and the scent of fertile soil filled the air.
In mere moments, the once-empty plains transformed.
A gleaming Temple of the Pantheon rose in the heart of the land, its pillars etched with the divine sigils of the gods who had watched Shin's rise. The Lord's Mansion, noble and strong, sat proudly to the east, a beacon of leadership. Around it, twenty-five homes formed a protective circle like loyal sentinels, their rooftops glowing faintly in the sun.
To the west stood the Blacksmith, its forge already radiating gentle heat. Beside it, the Barracks stood tall, ready to house an army. Three crystal-clear wells shimmered nearby, each bubbling with pure spring water. Encasing the settlement was the Growth Wall, glowing faintly with ancient runes—scaled patterns speaking to the dragon heritage Shin now embodied.
The farmlands beyond were already lush, bearing apples, tomatoes, carrots, wheat, and more. A self-sustaining world had just been born.
Shin exhaled. "Beautiful."
Then, with steel in his voice, he turned to Heart. "Summon my first two wives."
The air pulsed. Two summoning circles appeared—one swirling with azure frost, the other alive with emerald flame.
Velzard, the white imperial dragoness, stepped forth first. Her crystalline hair shimmered like starlight. As she surveyed the land, her gaze locked on Shin—and narrowed.
"You carry the aura of a true dragon," she said, her voice calm and regal, "yet… it's tainted with void. Powerful, unfamiliar." She smiled faintly. "Should I call you Shin—or husband?"
Her words, though gentle, sent a shiver through the earth.
Moments later, Shego arrived. Her emerald aura flared as her eyes scanned the surroundings with cool amusement. Her leather suit gleamed under the sun, her arms crossed as she sauntered toward him.
"Husband, huh?" she smirked, one eyebrow arching. "Your system said you'd make me a queen. That offer still valid?"
Shin chuckled. "It is, Shego. But let's not start assigning crowns just yet—your sister-in-law beat you to that title, after all."
Shego rolled her eyes but said nothing, her smirk deepening. She stood by Velzard now, the two wives studying each other. Ice and fire. Reserved majesty and irreverent charm. Opposites destined to coexist.
Velzard's gaze softened as she looked at Shego, but the tension between them was palpable—two alpha queens in a land not yet tamed.
Shin's expression grew firm again. "Heart, summon my first general."
["Would you like to summon the Fei Xin Army as well and use your Troop Summon Card?"]
"Yes."
The air cracked open as a massive summoning circle engulfed the sky. Blades of light descended.
From the blinding brilliance emerged Ri Shin, tall and resolute, his glaive gripped tightly.
Beside him, Kyou Kai stepped silently, her mist blade sheathed but deadly. Ka Ryo Ten followed, eyes brimming with ambition and intellect.
Their three trusted lieutenants—En, So Sui, and San Nou—appeared next, flanking them like a vanguard.
Behind them, an entire army of 60,000 elite soldiers emerged, clad in matching steel, banners fluttering with the symbol of the Fei Xin Unit.
In perfect unison, they dropped to one knee, saluting the sovereign who summoned them.
Shin's heart swelled with pride. "Rise, my soldiers. I've prepared weapons for you."
Another ding.
Distributing Weapon and Equipment Rewards…
• Glaive of Greats (Platinum-tier, infused with Ouki's spirit) — Assigned to Ri Shin
• Mist Sword (Platinum-tier) — Assigned to Kyou Kai
• Sword of Conquest (Gold-tier) — Equipped by all soldiers
• Growth-Level Armor (Platinum-tier) — Granted to Shin and the entire Fei Xin Army
As the weapons shimmered into their hands and armor materialized onto their bodies, a powerful aura flooded the area. Loyalty ratings spiked across the army. 90–95%, unwavering.
Shin breathed deeply, the gravity of his command settling in.
"Heart," he said, unfurling a glowing scroll, "activate the Village Requirement Scroll."
["Activating…"]
Golden light poured from the sky. A rippling gate opened and twenty-five families stepped through, eyes wide with awe. Fifty villagers, all ages, bearing tools and supplies, looked around in wonder.
At the front of the group stood a poised man with neatly combed hair and a formal doublet—his stance that of someone used to protocol.
Shin stepped forward. "What's your name?"
The man bowed deeply. "My name is John, my lord."
Shin met his eyes. "Would you like to serve as my steward?"
John's face lit up, but his voice remained composed. "Yes, my lord. I would be honored."
Shin nodded. "Tell me about your family."
"My wife Jane is a chef of noble kitchens. My daughter Alicia has maid training. My son Jerry… I'm grooming him to one day take over my duties."
Shin's gaze softened. "Will your family pledge loyalty to the Tempest name?"
John knelt, placing a hand over his heart. "Without hesitation."
Shin turned to Heart. "Confirm it."
["Confirmed. Loyalty rating locked at 85%.]
"Then it's official," Shin declared. "John, you're Chief Steward. Jane is Head Chef. Alicia will oversee manor services. Jerry will be trained by you."
John bowed again. "We will not fail you, my lord."
"Good. I have fruit and vegetable seeds. Distribute them to the farmers and begin cultivation immediately."
John was already on the move, commanding with quiet authority.
Turning to the villagers, Shin raised his voice. "Tomorrow, I'll meet with John to assign positions within the mansion and advisory council. Our first census will begin. For now, collect your tools and settle in."
He looked to Ri Shin. "Have the troops move into the barracks. Then, you, Kyou Kai, and Ka Ryo Ten—report to the manor in one hour."
"Yes, my lord!" Ri Shin saluted, his voice echoing like thunder.
As the villagers began unpacking, laughter and cautious hope spread across the settlement. Children ran between houses, elders marveled at the wells, and farmers examined the rich, ready soil.
Shego leaned in, smirking at Shin. "You do know how to make an entrance."
Velzard, still watching the temple, whispered, "This land… is alive with promise."
Heart hovered behind Shin, her expression radiant.
["Welcome to the Kingdom of Legends, my brother. Your story begins here."]
Shin stood tall at the center of it all—surrounded by warriors, wives, villagers, and destiny itself. And as the sun dipped lower, casting golden light across the stone and soil, the first true day of his reign had begun.
