I was already outside Newham Town after murdering its chief, a feared general of the chasm empire.
I could still sowhat hear the voice of the little girl's shriek, but sohow I didn't feel much sympathy after how she had played tricks on and made lose out on first hit advantage.
The fight just a few monts ago was very dangerous. I had almost died in the hands of Egran, and being so one-sidedly dominated didn't feel very nice.
I was lucky that the fool gave ti to cast my spells, or else I would have died without even scratching him.
'This also points out my weakness, hmm.'
I had beco too conceited after killing Felice's little pet in a single hit, forgetting that it was a low-intelligence monster who was caught off guard. In a match where the opponent was higher-level than , and was a silver nad NPC ant that he possessed extraordinary might and was a class above the others in its level range.
'But the item drops are so good, I wonder how much I can earn from them.'
I had gained two levels after defeating Egran, on top of that, I received so really nice item drops.
—-Hmm~~
I humd delightfully with my hands behind my head, as I casually strolled out of the Newham territory and looked at the item descriptions.

'I am gonna get rich!'
The items had amazing effects, although not really anything that could help , I was sure they would be tempting to a lot of people.
'So the Fire General was called the fire general just based on his ring? It's a little disappointing. Are there other generals like him too?'
It ca as a surprise that Egran's breath attack was just due to a ring and not his own personal skill. Well, that can't be the case since lizardn and fire don't go along that well, since the lizardn are a water-based species.
"Shura, you're back!"
Kris ca running to as soon as I was about to reach Rewan village.
"Yeah, I am back. What happened to your voice though—?"
Kris's voice sounded a bit more …manly? And Mature. I looked around to see where Kris was coming from, and I saw a two-ter-tall ogre running toward . He had greyish black skin and his eyes were yellow to the point where one would mistake them for golden eyes.
"...Kris?"
"Yes, Shura!"
Although the voice and physique were different, this was definitely the little boy that I knew of.
'What the fuck happened in a few hours that I was gone for…"
As I entered the village, I realised Kris wasn't the only oddball, almost everyone in the village had a darker skin tone, and everyone's level had jumped to the mid-70s.
'What is going on here?'
I had no idea, but it didn't take long for to figure it out.
Kris explained that after eating today's food, he started feeling weird in his body. After an hour, he started to grow taller and more muscular, the sa thing happened to everyone who ate today's food.
Apparently, the system notifications that I had left behind, thinking they were of no use to , had brought about this miraculous effect to the other….
When I made the dishes on Kris's request, I didn't know sothing like this would happen.
[Interdiate Cooking Lv2]
'Ah!'
My cooking skill had gone up by a whole grade from beginner cooking to Interdiate cooking.
'But, why would they evolve after eating food? I didn't even get any notifications…'
I checked the skill description of Interdiate cooking, but there was nothing special about it. The thing that triggered the evolution must be sothing else.
Anyways, as I didn't know how it happened, I put it at the back of my mind. Since this was a really good situation for .
I looked at the statuses of others and I was surprised to see 'High-Ogres' as their race. I didn't even know such a race existed.
After all, the only races that had high in front of their nas were High Elves. But they were too noble a creature to appear on the central continent.
"Gather everyone around first. I've got to make an announcent."
"Aye aye!"
Kris made a salute in a childish way as he ran towards the village. It felt extrely weird to be watching a big and healthy man acting like a kid.
After a while, everyone gathered around and waited for to speak.
—-Ahem!
"People of Rewan, it is ti we stop giving in to the enemy's oppression and nurture our village further!"
'"Woahhh!"'
"But how would you do that? We need resources to make the village progress. You think we have never tried to progress our village before? As soon as we started building any building, we were suppressed by the Generals."
Kai made his point. He looked a lot younger and a bit more muscular after becoming a high-ogre.
"I would like to see who would try to suppress you guys anymore. I have just murdered the Fire General and we are going to take over his town and make it a part of the Rewan territory."
"....."
'"What?!!"'
Everyone's surprised exclamation sounded out and they gave a hard look. Their faces were filled with complex emotions.
"Shura this… "
This ti, even Jezebeth spoke, who trusted my decisions blindly most of the ti.
"What are you guys worried about?"
I couldn't help but feel annoyed. I got that they were scared of ssing with the generals and the fear was logical. But once a great man said,
`People who oppress others are sinners, and people who bear the oppression silently are even bigger sinners.`
~~Oh wow, that sounded so cool!~~
'Shut up, Drew.'
"The emperor won't like it if there is so outsider killing his generals and taking over his territories. It's basically like challenging his authority. Not to ntion the other generals, they'll view you as a threat. Since if you can kill one of them, you might point your weapon at the other generals too."
Jezebeth explained why it wasn't a good idea to offend the generals anymore than I already had.
'I still don't think that the emperor would make a move directly since he plays a dormant role. Not to ntion the weird notifications I keep getting. Doesn't seem like he's hostile towards .'
I couldn't just say that I had a gut feeling the emperor wouldn't harm .
"Everyone! I hadn't co to the abyss to gather so treasure or explore so places. I have co here to make my own footing here and dominate a part of the abyss. I am here to take over the rule of the abyss, and you guys can help make my first step into this ambition."
"....."
Okay, seems like I went a bit overboard. The amount of fear on everyone's faces was proof of the fear business that the Chasm Empire was running.
"I want to give you all much better lives than you're currently living, and it won't be possible without your help."
This ti, I chose a much softer approach and the result was instant as people's eyes brightened hearing that.
"What do we have to do?"
Kai, as the leader of the ogres, asked.
"Send so people with to take over Newham Town. Remaining will stay here and start the construction of Rewan City. I'll provide sufficient materials to start the project."
"Rewan City…"
Everyone was moved hearing that.
'Good, it's ti to step up my ga.'
