Chapter 2: Dragon Castle

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“It’s already not easy for a level 1 dragon nest to hatch a level 2 dragon.”

“Looks like I still need to upgrade the dragon nest. This way, the dragon that hatches will be even more powerful!”

Looking at the first dragon that had just hatched, Mike named it Tyrell.

He also learned from the information template that Tyrell lived in the forest.

He asked, “Tyrell, are you the king of the forest?”

Tyrell said, “yes, my Lord. We Green Dragons are aggressive by nature. We like to live in the forest, so many beasts are afraid of us.”

Mike said, “the castle happens to be in the forest now. It’s just right for you. Moreover, it only has a seven-day protection period. So, Tyrell, please take care of it.”

“Don’t worry, my Lord. Tyrell will protect this castle with his life,” Tyrell said sincerely.

When he was talking to Tyrell again, there was suddenly a glowing exclamation mark at the bottom right of his field of vision!

“What’s this?”

Mike had a curious look on his face. With a casual tap, a row of things appeared in his eyes.

[Personal information] , [world chat channel] , [friend information] , [space exchange], and so on.

Mike clicked on [personal information] first, wanting to see what this menu looked like.

[Castle Lord: Mike]

[Castle level: Basic castle]

[Strength: Level 0]

[Military type construction: Dragon nest (unique)]

[Energy stone: None]

[Strange crystal: None]

[Equipment: None]

…

All the information appeared in Mike’s field of vision.

“Level zero strength??”

“This is too tragic. With this strength, I’m afraid that even the castle wouldn’t dare to go out.”

“There are dangers everywhere in the forest. As long as you leave the protective barrier, I’m afraid that if you encounter a wild beast, you’ll die!”

Mike was a little helpless. This feeling of being powerless was really uncomfortable.

However, he soon felt relieved.

He had Tyrell with him, and he was the lord of the castle. He could totally command the troops. There was no need for him to go out and risk his life. Even if he wanted to, his strength was not allowed!

Moreover, this otherworld was similar to the game ‘Castle Age’.

The energy stones inside could be obtained by killing monsters, monsters, enemy troops, and so on in the wild

Moreover, as long as they captured the enemy’s castle, they could obtain a large number of energy stones.

However, if they wanted to obtain strange crystals, they had to kill powerful monsters in order to have a chance of obtaining them…

These two items were also necessary for upgrading the dragon nest.

They did not have any energy stones or strange crystals. It seemed that they had to think of a way to kill monsters to obtain them.

This was also what all the Castle Lords were facing. After all, if they wanted to survive the Beast Tide seven days later, they had to work hard to increase their strength.

Mike opened his [friend message] again, but there was nothing inside.

Even the [space exchange] was the same.

However, the [world chat channel] was bustling with chatter.

There was a striking notice at the beginning.

[World announcement: Billions of Castle Lords from Earth, welcome to the Otherworld Continent and join this fair and just competition of ten thousand races! Here, you will obtain power and status… everything you want. Including eternal life! ]

[Otherworld Continent, where is this place?]

[It’s the competition of ten thousand races again, and the Beast Tide is attacking… I want to go home! ]

[Why is my initial unit a lizard person? When I reach adulthood, I’m only at tier 3. Didn’t we agree on fairness and justice? How can I live like this!]

[Your unit can reach tier 3 when you reach the mature stage. My initial unit is even worse than yours. When I reach the mature stage, I’m only at tier 2. I’m going crazy!!]

[Hahaha, how pitiful. My unit is a knight’s temple. Its combat strength is super strong! Its maximum strength can reach tier 8!]

[What does your knight’s temple count for? My initial unit is a beastman. When I reach the mature stage, I’ll be at tier 9. I’ll kill you instantly!]

[Oh my God, I really envy your unit. Big brother, please cover me!]

…

Looking at these chat logs, Mike turned his head to look at Tyrell beside him. He could not help but think to himself

“No matter how strong your unit is, it’s not as strong as mine.”

“My unit is unique. Moreover, my unit is randomly selected. Among the billions of people, there are those who are lucky, and of course, there will be those who are unlucky.”

“Is it fair and just?”

“Absolutely fair and just!”

Mike scrolled down and saw some noteworthy chat logs

[Brothers and sisters, please don’t leave the castle!]

[It’s really too dangerous outside! I just left the castle and a lot of wild monsters rushed over. Fortunately, I didn’t go far, or I would be finished!]

[It’s true. I just asked the militia to go out to collect some wood and was bitten to death by a black wolf. I’m crying!!]

[Wow! The wild monsters outside are too strong. My beastmen was directly injured. It’s too scary!!]

…

It seemed that the world outside was extremely dangerous. One moment of carelessness and the ship would capsize!

Phew, it seemed that they had to take every step carefully.

Only by surviving could he have a future.

Mike then turned off the [world chat channel]. It seemed that he had to increase his strength first. The current him could be said to be a waste.

He had to grasp the seven days of the novice protection period well.

“Tyrell, go to your own home ground. If you stay in the castle all the time, and the Beast Tide comes, it will be big trouble. You have to look at the situation outside the protective barrier,” Mike said to Tyrell seriously.

“Roger that, my Lord.” Then, he flew out of the castle.

But Mike was worried, so he followed behind him. However, he did not walk out of the protective shield. His strength was only level 0, so he could not help.

Just as Tyrell flew out of the castle, five huge black wolves jumped out of the forest and instantly bit Tyrell.

Tyrell turned around and spat out a dark green poison from the dragon’s mouth, directly hitting the three black wolves.

In just a few seconds, the three black wolves were corroded by the venom, and even their bones were gone.

[Killed a level five black wolf, Energy +3]

[Killed a level five black wolf, Energy +3]

[Killed a level five black wolf, Energy +3]

The other two black wolves saw this and turned to flee. Tyrell swooped down and killed them with one claw.

[Killed a level zero black wolf, Energy +5]

[Killed a level one black wolf, energy +9, Energy Stone +1]

Then, he pulled the two claws back to the castle one by one and placed the black wolf in front of Mike.

At this moment, five waves of energy suddenly flowed in Mike’s body and he felt the five waves of energy in his body. It turned out that as long as his subordinates killed the ‘enemy’, he could also receive benefits and increase his strength and level.

With a total of 23 points of energy, Mike realized that he had actually risen from level 0 to level 2.

He asked, “Tyrell, will you be able to increase your strength after killing the black wolves?”

“Yes, my Lord.. I’ll probably be able to advance to level 3 after killing another 20 or so,” Tyrell replied.
