After the third consecutive night battle—another flawless SSR rating—Shin decided to hold off on opening the treasure chests.
Meanwhile, his three yet-to-be-impregnated wives had taken it upon themselves to wring him dry until the job was done. To Shin's great delight, he succeeded with Boa—earning an extra Wife Gacha Token, two Conception Gift Packs, and a new vision from Heart: he would have two daughters—one destined to become a master strategist, the other a brilliant merchant.
Overjoyed, Shin was already daydreaming about fatherhood.
He promised Lara and Nina he wouldn't summon any new wives until they too were pregnant—an effort to keep things manageable. Touched by the gesture, both women were still overwhelmed. Even together, they barely kept pace with Shin's unrelenting desire.
Thanks to a generous shipment of supplies from the Lionhearts, Shin upgraded his territory to Level 2.
The transformation was staggering—expanded borders, upgraded core buildings, and skyrocketing production across all industries.
With Kaelira and her team's assistance, the kingdom was reorganized into six major sectors:
• Administrative Sector – Housing the manor and central government buildings.
• Military Sector – Barracks, training grounds, and war planning facilities.
• Industrial Sector – Overseen by Lara; home to blacksmiths, workshops, and manufacturing hubs.
• Shopping Sector – Markets, shops, and merchant stalls.
• Agricultural Sector – Farmlands, ranches, and greenhouses.
• University Sector – A new hub for citizen education and skill development.
Shin also established three new satellite villages:
• Sunmeadow – An agricultural settlement.
• Emberpick – A mining and excavation hub.
• Stormhold – A military training village, where all recruits would spend two years gaining real-world experience before transferring or testing into a formal military branch.
At Kaelira's suggestion, Shin used four medium, one large, and one small recruitment scroll—adding 425 new citizens to the kingdom.
With the first wave of goods hitting the market, the treasury swelled with gold.
Meanwhile, with Heart's help, Shin began rewriting stories from his past life—blending fact and fantasy in a way that caught the attention of the God of Stories.
He also sold one of his Relocation Orders, using the profits to max out his Magic Crystals at 3,000. His Legendary Essence and Mithril reserves were now fully capped.
Key figures—Benimaru, Ka Ryo Ten, En, So Sui, and San Nou—reached the threshold for Ascension. Shin's main armies had reached Level 10, awaiting only his signal to evolve.
With the fourth night battle approaching, Shin finalized his mastery of Fire and Lightning Magic.
After a moment of contemplation, he selected Ice and Water Magic as his next domains.
"Heart, pull up my current stats after the update."

The surge of power rippling through him was undeniable—tighter muscles, sharper senses, fiercer magic.
With preparations in motion, Shin dispatched the Moonshadow Elves to scout the Fallen Dragon's Lair. Meanwhile, he, Ri Shin, Kyou Kai, and the Fei Xin Army set out on a monster hunt—seeking strength, resources, and readiness for the fourth night.
At the stables, Kyou Kai and several Fei Xin members selected 20 Quilns, while Shin and the others mounted Chaos Wolves. He also released his new Behemoth to join the expedition.
Their first major target: an Emperor Hellfire Tiger. They slew it, harvested its magma-imbued core, and adopted its ten cubs.
Deeper into the wilds, they encountered a clan of Nekomata, led by a striking woman named Tia—6'4", with wild orange hair, two sleek cat tails, and H-cup breasts. Her energy was magnetic.
"You're strong, and I like your scent," she said, eyes locked on him. "I want to join you."
"I accept, Miss Tia. Welcome aboard," Shin replied. "How many are in your group?"
"One hundred. All women. We can't produce men—we usually find strong mates to grow our numbers."
While Shin and several troops stayed behind to welcome the Nekomata, Kyou Kai encountered a band of Moon Elves, led by a formidable figure—Leone.
⸻
Leone – Moonlight Fang of the Elves
Leader of the Moon Elves, Leone is a warrior of elegance and ferocity. With obsidian-toned skin that gleams under moonlight and silver hair braided like frost-laced night, she commands both blade and bow. Her piercing electric eyes, curved moonblade, and enchanted longbow echo her dominion over ice and lightning.
A natural-born leader, Leone carries the burden of her people's survival. After meeting the Moonshadow Elves, she chose to join the Kingdom of Legends, bringing with her the last 50 members of her kin—along with a pack of Lycans.
The expedition returned with:
• 250 new citizens
• 10 Hellfire Tiger cubs
• A third Emperor Core
• Valuable pelts and meat supplies
After settling the new arrivals, Shin asked Leone to lead the Moonshadow Elves, recognizing her command experience and Level 2 Ascension. She accepted—but on one condition: help her find her missing twin sister, Leona, who vanished on an expedition.
Shin agreed without hesitation.
⸻
Benimaru – First Ascension: Flame Incarnate
Benimaru's body became a vessel of living flame. His crimson skin now radiates ember-like patterns, and his once-chaotic aura has refined into something deeper—controlled, divine, and devastating.
Ascension Perks:
• Hellfire Dominion – Summons flames that bypass resistances and grow stronger through fear, rage, and chaos.
• Blazing Oni Form – When enraged or near death, he transforms—growing larger, his horns jagged, his body wreathed in warping flame.
• Infernal Authority – Fire-aligned beings instinctively submit or flee. Lesser flame spirits may be absorbed or enslaved.
• Ashen Rebirth – Once per day, if slain, Benimaru explodes in a purging fire, reforming from the ashes—restored but weakened.
He is no longer merely a flame-wielder—he is fire incarnate.
⸻
Ka Ryo Ten – First Ascension: The Strategist of Storms
Ten's mind now resonates with the rhythm of battle itself. Her eyes flash like lightning before a storm. Her presence boosts morale, and her commands shift the flow of fate.
Ascension Perks:
• Battlefield Clairvoyance – Near-prophetic awareness of enemy tactics, ambushes, and terrain shifts.
• Storm Veil (Command Aura) – Boosts reaction speed, lightning resistance, and mobility across rough terrain.
• Tactical Conduction – Infuses squads with lightning strategies, enhancing speed, strike power, and formation agility.
• Tempest Mind – Immune to mental fatigue. Her mind functions like a war engine, coordinating thousands of variables in real time.
⸻
Fei Xin Army Upgrade – The Stormborne Vanguard
Under Ten's ascended leadership, the Fei Xin Army evolved into the Stormborne Vanguard—a mobile, elite strike force with unmatched coordination and speed. They strike like lightning and vanish like mist, overwhelming slower and less flexible foes.
In Ten's presence, they move like wind—and strike like storms.
⸻
Shin couldn't wait to see what military spirits his other armies would awaken.
Only the Moonshadow Elves and the forces led by Boa, Lara, and Nina remained below Level 10, not yet eligible for Ascension.
