At the world of the undead, chaos is coming, a spark that will burn the whole world to the chaos of war had appeared in the midst of them.

Bringing the boring life of undead to the shining and new light.

“Master, we almost arrived at the vampire’s territory, the Vlad Dracula,” (Malistrode)

“I see…” Lich Oz answered as his eyes suddenly went distant for a while and immediately reverts normally.

“Victory assured,” Lich Oz muttered.

Malistrode watched his master’s behavior while even though he’s an undead, he suddenly felt cold at his back because of fear.

(Again! Every time master’s eyes went distant, he will suddenly become very confident as if he’s certain with the plan he had made on those several seconds of thinking! But the most fearsome fact is the fact that he always wins!!!) (Malistrode)

“Malistrode,” Lich Oz called Malistrode.

“H-hm? Yes, master?” Malistrode answered in a panic.

“Focus,” Lich Oz slowly pointed his staff forward and said, “We’re going to war,”

*******************************************************

At the magic academy of Avalon, Oz is sitting at the couch inside his room at the dormitory.

(Quite a problem you got there, master) (Reo)

Reo’s voice suddenly appeared inside of Oz’s mind, startling Oz.

(It’s normal, Reo. There will be always problems wherever the master goes!) (Fenrir)

(Fenrir… Don’t take me as a trouble magnet… Since when does both of you’ve been there anyway!!!) (Oz)

(Since the beginning of your conversation with that young king, master. But my words are true, right? We’ve been together with you for not so long but quite a number of trouble had already appeared, master. You really are a magnet of trouble) (Fenrir)

Oz could only smile bitterly as he rewinds all of the events he encounters at this world inside his head.

(Ugh… Can’t deny that…) (Oz)

(Don’t be dejected, master. Strong people always attract huge trouble in their life, that’s one of the strong people’s responsibilities) (Reo)

(Indeed… Wise words, Reo…) (Oz)

(Or you could just say that master is filled with bad luck) (Fenrir)

(Fenrir, you…) (Oz)

(………) (Reo)

(Hey, Reo! At least help me deny that!!!) (Oz)

Oz could only let out a big sigh because of Fenrir’s words as he couldn’t deny that.

“But seriously… Why do I need to meddle on this kingdom affairs too? I’ve enough affairs on my empire already…” Oz silently complains.

Poof!

Two small animals appeared in front of Oz. One is as white as snow, while the other is dark like the night.

“Cheer up, master. At least you got a powerful ally candidate,” Fenrir said with her high-pitched voice.

“Indeed… Empire building… Magic Academy… Demons… Undead world… Usurping the throne… Guarding the kingdom… Guarding the princess… searching for Azaline’s mother… There’s a ton of things to do, huh,” Oz mutters to himself while feeling kind of lazy because of the lot of things to do.

“Oh well, lucky I could now leave the other problems to my clones and focus on what’s here. Now, let’s start arranging a plan for the future, let’s start from Peter’s problems…” (Oz)

***********************************************

“Um.. can you please repeat your words?” (Oz)

“I’m thinking of giving you the position of the prime minister when I became the king of the Grandaria kingdom,” Peter said with a broad smile, feeling confident with the offer he gives Oz.

Seeing Peter’s enthusiastic face, Oz could only let out a small sigh.

“I refuse,” Oz answered indifferently.

“Agreed, then the only problem remaining is- What!? Why!?” (Peter)

“First, You don’t even have any certainty to show me of you getting the throne. Second, I don’t like such a troubling position. Third, I’m not interested,” Oz explained to Peter harshly.

“……” Peter stays silent for a while, he seems to think about what offer he should offer Oz to make Oz supports him.

“You know what, Pete-” Before Oz could finish his words, Peter cut in.

“I see… it’s unexpected but it’s fine. So Ren is that type of person. Okay then, I’ll let you have as many girls you want, you may even marry my sister but only if she accepts it,” Peter said with a serious expression.

“……..” Oz gritted his teeth.

Smack!

“Of course not, idiot!!!” Oz smacked Peter’s head in annoyance.

“Ugh! That hurts, Ren! Then what should I offer you to make you help me get the throne!?” (Peter)

Oz let out another big sigh.

“Peter. I’m saying that I’m fine without any rewards. I’ll help you get the throne but with one condition. I don’t want any spotlight at me, let me act on the shadows and help you from there,” (Oz)

“Really!?” Peter asked for confirmation enthusiastically.

“Yes, we’re friends, right?” (Oz)

“Ren… Thank you so much…” (Peter)

“Don’t say such things as if you’re already assured that you will obtain the throne. Listen, I’ll devise a plan for you to take the throne but remember, my plans might be too hard for you, you’re free to give up if my plan is too hard,” Oz said with an evil smirk.

“It’s fine. No matter how hard it is, I’ll do it,” Peter said with a firm expression that showed his firm resolution.

“Good, quite a nice expression you have on your face there, I’m more eager to support you if you have such a resolute expression,” (Oz)

*********************************************************

“I said all of that stuff but. Sigh. What a troublesome…” Oz complained as he lay on the sofa and closes his eyes.

On the other side, at the capital of the Tarot empire, Slime Oz is still busy with a lot of things. Because of the sudden finish of the constructions, there will be a lot of things that needed to be handled. Moving his stuff from Aegir’s house to the imperial castle, teaching the soldiers some martial art to perform when they’re on their human form.

Slime Oz also design some adventurer guild, mercenary guild, magician guild, and merchant guild. To prevent the mercenary guild to have a dispute with the adventurer guild over an escort mission, Slime Oz decided to let only the mercenary guild to have an escort mission, while the adventurer guild only contains venturing, collecting, gathering, and searching requests.

Using these systems, the information network among the empire will be far easier to spread. Different from the other kingdoms’ guilds, Tarot’s adventurer guild, magician guild, mercenary guild, and the merchant guild work and act with the empire’s interest as the top priority.

In the other kingdoms, adventurer and mercenary guild refuse to be under any kingdoms’ flag because the royalties tend to use them as a meat shield to dispose of, because of that reason, adventurer guilds and mercenary guilds across the world agrees to become one organization and refuse any kingdoms’ approach.

The Tarot empire is different because Oz wouldn’t limit the adventurers’ and the mercenaries’ freedom like the other kingdoms as long as they don’t do any crimes. Knowing they’re fully supported by the emperor and the empire, the adventurers and the mercenaries pledge to defend the empire.

The set up of the guilds went successfully, thousands of people who search for money and seek adventure immediately register to become adventurers. While people who don’t want to venture that far register as mercenaries.

The magician guild is a new guild that Oz invented, solely focus on potion-making, magic industries, magic inventions, and all things that under the name of magic. Races like the elves and the centaurs who seek wisdom and seek to refine their magic registered at the magician guild, Slime Oz assigned Gurolf as the magician guild’s guild master even though he’s already become the leader of the magic tower.

Different from the magician guild, the magic tower focuses on inventing something that the empire requested while lecturing and nurturing those who have the potential and talent to be recruited by the empire. The magic tower had built several magic academies to train the future generation of the empire.

With the assembling of the merchants and the successfully built merchant guild, the economy of the empire spread easily and smoothly. Slime Oz thought that the merchants will be the hardest ones to convince to make their guild, but it turns out that they accept it happily while saying that all of them owe a lot to the emperor.

Because of the imperial dungeon core finishing all of the empire’s construction, the sight of the empire had become very beautiful and gorgeous, Slime Oz decided to make some events and share his knowledge of modern foods and festivals. The day the empire got its construction finished and the subjects upgraded will be remembered as “The Empire’s Birth”.

“Hm… Maybe I should make invent a hot spring too…” Slime Oz mutters as he remembered the feeling of relaxing on a hot spring.
