章節 56: Chapter 56
I am very afraid of raising the Dungeon to Level 1~200, as it will cause drastic changes and... my territories...
If I do this, likely Nations will arise and I will start having strong and numerous enemies already!
I don't know what the structure of the world will be like, but it certainly won't be a small thing!
So I'm in a dilemma, but... I think it's time to stop being afraid!
I'm so afraid that I haven't even stepped into the [Negative Dimension] yet, even though I have the power to do so.
But of course, it's not because I've made up my mind that I'm ready!
I have 4 territories, it is time to merge them!
It is better for me to focus on developing 1 territory rich in resources, than to worry about 4, which can be taken over by Nations at any time.
But now, which one will I choose? The obvious one would be the Village of the Lamia, right?
The answer is no!
For me, the Lamia are my main subordinates, they are smart, beautiful and not too wild, unlike Goblins and Gnolls!
In other words, I don't need them anymore, but the 4 Elites they provide me, are talented and precious individuals.
But in the end, with the expansion of the Level limits, they will level up very quickly, and because they are practically feral, once they are around Level 100, they will probably challenge me to kill me!
Same for Lukaria, which seriously gives me a headache.
But so far, the one I can consider most loyal, would be Lukaria, but it's not like I really trust her, as she may very well be faking it!
Look, I'm seriously considering dropping everything and thinking about being a Noble or something in the future.
As for the people? Well, what can I do?
It's a bastardization for me to think of abandoning them, I can bring them to Earth, but in the end, how would I explain the existence of 68 Lamias? 69, a baby was born recently...
What the hell!
...
"Mistress, can I help you?" - Lukaria asked as soon as I called her.
"Lukaria, it's obvious, but you feel that something is limiting your strength, correct?" - I ask and Lukaria appears to be confused, but begins to speak.
"Yes, I feel I can get much stronger, but I feel... chained!" - She says seriously.
"So... you know I'm not from this world, I come from the world on the other side of the portal, so I know what kinds of changes are about to happen, so what I say may sound scary, but wait for me to finish, okay?" - I say, Lukaria looks confused, but nods.
"This world is new, you may have memories of your childhood, your parents, the difficulty of living in the desert and so on, it's all real, but at the same time it's not!" - At what I say, Lukaria widens her eyes, confused and uncertain.
"This is because this world is still a baby, it is generating its civilizations, accelerating the development of many areas, so what may be hundreds of years of history, may be mere seconds or minutes in the eyes of this world!
But it turns out that this is not a real world, as it is still forming, where then we should call it a Dimension!" - I say, Lukaria looks confused.
Sighing I take a piece of paper and make a quick drawing.
"Here is this continent, where we live at the moment, which is surrounded by a colossal ocean that is 3 times larger than this continent!
Going beyond this ocean, we find other continents similar in size, being in each of the 4 directions, governed by similar rules.
Technically, this world is infinite, with the laws that make other biomes change if they are not connected in some way, the rule is similar!
But that will soon change, as the Dimension we are in, which is still a baby, is growing and firming up, where many of the rules will change drastically!" - I see that Lukaria is only more confused.
"What I mean is... the world will soon undergo drastic changes and if could become 2 to 10 times stronger than it is now, just as the rule that used to make biomes change every 24 hours, will no longer exist!" - With that, Lukaria understands and is surprised.
"The world will undergo drastic and irreversible changes, which I will not be able to be here to witness, and if I do not want to affect all the people, I will have to revoke my authority over the Territories I conquered and the Faction I created!" - At those words, Lukaria's eyes widen.
"That... I don't understand!" - Lukaria said confused.
"It's quite simple, I am delaying the progress of this world due to the portal, which connects this Dimension with the world I live in, the moment I close the rift and take away all the connection I have with this world, seconds may pass for me, but here, months, years, decades or even centuries may pass!
So while I am with this strength, everyone in this world can be as strong as me, or even stronger!
Not to mention that beings even more powerful than that [Dunes Worm] I killed will be born in great numbers!" - I say sighing and Lukaria understands, I think.
"Why are you telling me this, to prepare me for your farewell?" - Lukaria asks with an obviously concerned tone.
"My farewell is something obvious, so I already apologize to everyone, but the reason I am talking to you and not to all the Managers, is that Lukaria, I want you to stand by me!" - I finally say and Lukaria is taken by surprise.
"Wait... what?" - Lukaria asks and nods, not understanding, I find it quite cute.
"This world will go through major changes, but not mine, I will just have to wait until this world does what needs to be done, for me to return to it!" - I sigh and continue.
"By the time that occurs, Lukaria, decades or centuries may have passed, by then, you could be around your 50's or already having turned to bones underground!
That's why I have to abandon the territories, because without me to manage them, it's obvious that you and your descendants will take control of the place!" - Lukaria seemed understood when he said that.
"Ok... I think I understand, but... why do you want me by your side?" - She asked confused.
"Lukaria, I know we have had our problems, I killed your people, I almost killed you, just as I killed your Matriarch, you and your people have many reasons to hate me, for you are not the same as Goblins and Gnolls, beings who happily submit to the strong!
Lamias are smart and independent, so to speak, not slaves to their instincts or having such a closed mind as Goblins and Gnolls!" - I say quietly and Lukaria says nothing, just listens.
"I wanted to bring everyone with me, but on the other side, I don't have large lands to accommodate 69 Lamias, not to mention that in my world, there are only Humans, should another species arise, I will have big problems and likely capture your people, kill them and dissect them to find out what exactly they are!" - I sigh and return to the focus!
"The point is that I want you by my side, as I have begun to harbor some feelings for you and from what little I know of the future to come, there will be many opportunities to stay strong, even push the boundaries of the world!" - And finally I say!
Lukaria looks confused and thoughtful, I know it's a lot to take in.
"But what about my people? This is my home... what exactly is going to happen to us?" - Lukaria asked worriedly.
Know that everything I have said so far is mostly a lie, I like Lukaria and I want her, I have feelings for her? For her body, but in the end we never got close enough, so we don't have such deep feelings.
About this world thing, I have no idea what the fuck I am talking about, I am just creating something to fool her, because I want Lukaria by my side when we explore this world in the future.
I don't want to be alone, that's too... lonely!
So I want a companion for bed and adventure, Lukaria being the most suitable for this.
As for your people, I think they will end up dead, since they won't have an Elite or BOSS supporting them, it gives me a heartache since they have children, but [Player Mind] helps me not to think about such things.
"No need to worry, the world is fair to a certain extent, due to my interference and right off the bat, I killed the leaders of each Territory, who are very powerful and individuals with strength close to the allowed limit of the world!" - Lukaria nods seriously and listens very carefully.
"So when I leave, the rules of the world will see the things I affected, so to balance it out, likely revive the people I killed, including their leader, or make a new Guardian available, or even strengthen their people!" - I say, certainly not knowing what I'm talking about, but it sounds like Lukaria is buying it.
"So the damage I caused will in a way be compensated, but that's if you don't stay, the compensation will be even greater!" - I say and she frowns.
"Let's put it this way, your Matriarch was the peak of this world, so we will give you a number of 10, you are near the peak of this world, so we give you a number of 8. The rest of your people, on the other hand, are at number 1~4, so to speak!" - I stop talking a bit here and see her expression, she is listening.
"Apart from your Matriarch, the strongest will be the 8, that is, you! Then the world and its rules will see that, analyze it, and the compensation they will give, might be to raise you to the same level as your Matriarch!" - Lukaria didn't seem to see a problem with that.
"But if you go with me, there will only be your people of 1~4, then the rules will see the quantity of your people and the strength of the strongest, since I killed a good number of your people, you are quite weak and there are few warriors, so the rules can strengthen the base of your people from 1~4 to 2~6, it may not seem like much, but it is an increase in the quality of your people!
Next, what may occur will be something like a chosen one, where you will receive an increase in your strength, where it can be 2 things. The 1st thing being someone of the same strength as the Matriarch or the 2nd thing being 2 or even 3 individuals with strength equal to yours!" - I say and notice her contemplating.
"You mean if I stay I will get stronger, so... I will have to fight harder to bring security to my people? But if I go with you, my people will receive benefits from the world and so everyone will get stronger and 2 or 3 can match me in strength?" - She asks, understanding the lie I told.
I nod, then say. - "In addition, I will give you some of the precious items we have found over the time we have spent together, which will not be counted when the rules of the world account for the damage I have caused, meaning that in addition to everyone getting a big boost in their strength, they will have magical items at their disposal, along with that, I will leave some of the Skill Books we got, which will allow your people to progress even further!"
At my words, I see Lukaria surprised and looking at me with intensity.
"But in the end, the decision is yours, if you go with me, it can be said that our beginning life will be more of an exploration of what this world will become, where we can reach even greater levels than you can imagine!
Should you stay, I will be sad, but I will understand your decision and wish you luck!" - I say looking into her brown eyes.
I see her hesitate, so I say. - "I may like you, maybe it's not something like love, maybe I like your looks or body, but know that I don't wish to force you to do anything, even if you don't want to match what I feel, I won't force you to anything!
And I think the main reason I extend this invitation to you, besides the fact that I like you, would be the loneliness!
The world I will enter after I leave will be even more vast and complex, many new things to explore and powerful beings to fight!
But I will do all that alone, I don't desire that, so I want you by my side!" - I say with sincerity, I think of everything I've spoken so far, it's my most sincere.
Seriously, I'm becoming a lying bitch from hell, I'm not enjoying this at all!
"That..." - Lukaria stopped talking, thinking hard about everything I'm telling her.
Well, I guess it's not such a hard choice, it's me or your people, the chances of her choosing to stay with your people are about 80%.
What are the 20%? Surely she must not love me or anything like that, but her ambition to become stronger, curiosity for a bigger world and so on.
The reason I abandon my territories is because I don't wish to limit myself to one place, at least not in this life.
I wish to become stronger and worrying about managing territories and people is not wise, since I am alone!
So I will focus on my personal strength, exploring the world and etc.
"I know it's a lot to think about, so how about this? In 2 days I will close my connection with this world and let it evolve, in those 2 days I will prepare my parting gift for you.
After that I will come to you in search of the answer, what do you say?" - I ask calmly and Lukaria nods.
I take a deep breath and wish to the world that she accepts my proposal, if not? So be it!
