Chapter 4 - TO THE COMMONER SECT

As he decided to start the journey of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, he said, "If I use my insane

stats, I would be a universal threat, so let me lock my stats and use my editor skill on my phone to

set my desired stats." He took out his smartphone and edited his system to a genius configuration

with a 50% increase, so as not to raise any eyebrows. "Let me first go to the Commoner Sect," he

decided.

Choosing to travel manually, he ordered his high-tech magic power bike with an unlimited fuel

capacity that could adjust depending on the terrain. The bike boasted insane speed and could be

driven either by AI or manually. Knowing himself well, Leo opted for manual mode. He roared its

engines and took off toward the Commoner Sect. It only took him a day—thanks to his cruise

speed of Mach 10, in case you didn't know.

He approached the gates of the Commoner Sect, and the soldiers were terrified of his unknown

device. As he pulled up, he said, "Let me through." Although the soldiers were frightened, they tried

to show some authority by asking, "What's your name, good sir?" He answered, "My name is

Leonard." The soldiers replied, "I'm sorry, sir, but you can't go in because I'm afraid you will terrify

our citizens." Leonard responded, "No problem." He hopped back on his bike and roared the

engines; the soldiers, realizing they were facing a beast on wheels, reluctantly let him in.

Once inside, he drove straight to the king of the Commoners, knowing that this king was greedy

and cared only for himself—embezzling continental funds and enriching himself at the expense of

his citizens. Leo planned to change the power dynamic upon arriving at the palace. Not wanting to

disrupt business flow, he glided on his bike and flew to the Commoner King's palace in half a day—

what would normally take four months since the palace was at the center of the city.

The guards tried to stop him, saying, "Sorry, sir, you don't have a pass to enter here." But Leo was

undeterred. He ordered ten bodyguard humanoid robots to appear. They were all dressed in black

suits, shades, shoes, and earbuds. Though unharmed, their equipment was all high-tech, and the

robots could materialize any weapon with thought. When the robots arrived, the soldiers and

guards trembled in fear. Noticing their reaction, Leo instructed his bodyguard to knock them out.

They sent the robots in, and all the soldiers and guards were knocked out cold.

"Now, no more jokes," Leo declared as he entered the palace. The king was shocked and terrified to

see a child guarded by bodyguards. "What are you doing here, boy? You're supposed to be in an

academy or something," the king laughed as he called his guards to remove the "trash." When no

response came, he demanded, "What have you done with my guards?"

Leo then asked one of his bodyguards to speak on his behalf using a neural link. The first

bodyguard—the one who looked the most imposing—spoke: "King, we know you have been

causing a lot of trouble lately, and in the interest of my master, you must either cooperate with us

or be evicted from your throne."

The king stammered, "Who are you that I should cower in fear and cooperate with you?"

The first guard replied, "I guess we will go with the second option," and began to flare up his aura

as he stepped toward the king and cracked his knuckles. The king felt chills run down his spine,

realizing the guard wasn't joking. He began pleading, "I will cooperate."

The bodyguard sneered, "Wow, you guys really are something. You talked tough at first, but when

faced with a threat that can take your life, you become obedient. Your stupidity knows no bounds."

Grabbing the king by his robe, the guard said, "If not for my master, I would have sent you to

Leonidas."

The king begged, "I will do anything!"

"Well," Leo said, "here's something I need you to do for me." He produced a deed and said, "Sign

it." The king was optimistic at first, but when the first bodyguard threatened him, he signed it

hastily.

"Well done. Now, you can leave the kingdom. All your money—stolen or hidden—will be doubled. I

don't want to see you in the Commoner Sect again."

The second bodyguard brought out a briefcase and handed it to the king, instructing him to vacate

my master's premises. The third and fourth bodyguards personally dragged him out, while the fifth

and sixth bodyguards provided transportation for the king and his family. They were escorted on a

mini plane, and within one hour, they landed in the desert. The bodyguards told them to open the

briefcase—it contained everything they would need. "Happy retirement," they said as they left.

The scene then shifted back to Leo, who addressed the commoners: "Your kind abandoned you and

left the throne. I will take the throne and promise to elevate the Commoner Sect to great heights."

The crowd cheered.

Leo then decided to invite 100 of his top researchers, economists, AI experts, and specialists in

weapons and technology. He also acquired one of his own factories. "Now, it's time to restore this

sect to its highest glory."

Although other nobles in the Commoner Sect planned to overthrow him, Leo was not worried. He

deployed one of his many intimidation robots, and the coup they were planning was disbanded.

"What is the best thing this place needs?" Leo asked. "It needs electricity." Using his factory, he built

highly advanced power stations and transformers with solar and lunar panels, transporting and

setting them up. Three months later, the entire Commoner Sect was fully integrated with electricity.

He then decided to construct advanced housing for the people. His factory produced these high-

tech houses, replacing the old ones over another three months. Rumors soon spread that the Noble

and Middle-Class Sects were planning to uncover and steal the hidden technologies now wielded

by the Commoner Sect.

The scene shifted back to Leo, who smiled menacingly and said, "Humor me and come see what

you won't see in your lifetime." The ribits (his robotic aides) whispered among themselves, "I think

Master is starting to behave like a barbarian. Well, if he gets out of hand, we'll remind him that he is

an advanced digital realm king, so he should stop fooling himself." Meanwhile, a particular noble—

an echo from Leo's past—was preparing to appear, as his past was coming back to bite him.
