Chapter 8

 

Rest Area, what’s that?

When I touch Rest Area, as I had nothing else to do anyway, the explanation displays:

『Rest Area: A place to rest. 【Chaos】 can’t trespass into the rest area.』

Eh? What’s up with this? It’s completely unnecessary? What sad necessity exists to add a place I can’t enter within my own Domain!?

Once I double tap Rest Area, the line 『Delete?』 displays.

“Yes! Of course!”

I tap 『Yes』 enthusiastically.

『This cannot be deleted due to insufficient DP.』

“Huh?”

On a closer look at the Rest Area’s entry, the line Maximum DP +50 is… Umm…remember, me! I recall the DP before selecting the [Dungeon Pack], if I remember correctly, it was 10. And now it’s 115. In other words, 50 x 2 = 100 DP due to two rest areas being added. The remaining 5 DP is…I see. Treasure chests give Maximum DP + 1, don’t they?

Basically, if I set up facilities (putting aside whether you can call a treasure chest a facility) that are beneficial to invaders; my maximum DP will grow. Thus, it’ll become possible to set up more facilities and weapons (traps)… In that case, does that mean I can create a dungeon filled with deadly traps by creating a truckload of rest areas? Even if I want to test that idea, I’m out of CP. I decide to move on to the matter I had put aside earlier, and open [Subordinate Creation]. I tap on the corresponding entry.

Slime – Rank F. Vulgar residue of monsters. Its low intelligence only allows it to accept simple orders. It manipulates acidic liquid that can burn the skin. Creation cost: 1 CP.

Rat – Rank F. Rat.2 Has a small chance to infect its opponent with a disease. Creation Cost: 2 CP.

Bat – Rank E. Bat. Releases ultrasonic waves that can cause small headaches. Sucks blood with its fangs, but that won’t restore its health. Creation Cost: 3 CP.

Wolf – Rank E. Wolf. Obedient, but cannot understand complex orders. Forming a pack with its own kind, it will attack enemies in a group. Creation Cost: 3 CP.

Goblin – Rank E. Evil Fairy. Can handle simple tools. Possesses intelligence, but there are situations where it won’t obey orders. Capable of cooperating with its own kind. Creation Cost: 5 CP.

Kobold – Rank D. Half man, half dog monster. It can handle simple tools. Its knowledge is low, but it’s capable of cooperating with its own kind. Creation Cost: 10 CP.

Those are the 6 types of subordinates I can create. I’ve already heard of them before. These monsters are small fries. Should I have assigned a little more BP into Creation? Well, I abandoned the right of that choice through my own reckless mistake, but… Since I don’t have any CP, I move on to [Item Evolution] for now.

I touch the entry.

Eh?!

Different from the previous entry, this one has [Weapon][Armor][Ornament][Magic Tool][Consumable Goods], and [Others]. Once I touch [Weapon] for example; [Sword][Katana][Spear][Bow][Arrows][Axe][Staff] and [Others] is displayed. I tap on [Sword], and 20 different sword types appear on the display.

As expected of an Evolution Specialization Build… This many? The weakest is a wooden sword. F Rank and costs 1 CP. Next is a knife, at the same rank but costs 2 CP. Excluding some of them, all the weapons beyond B Rank cost more than 500 CP. Once it comes to B Rank, they even have their own names. For example, there is a sword called Dáinsleif; it costs 500 CP, huh? I will raise Evolution as soon as I can. Or rather, even if Evolution reaches B Rank…

It’d be pointless if my CP is lacking, right? Seriously…? Did I end up doing something pointless?

I became slightly depressed due to the reality in front of me. Even while I begin to hate myself, I check the items I can summon. As a result of checking all the items, I understood that the strongest items I could produce is called Silver Series. All kinds of weapons are in it. Silver Sword, Silver Katana, and Silver Spear. In addition, there are many defense items such as armor, shields etc. in the Silver Series as well. Each of them are C Rank and cost 100 CP. Moreover, it is possible to create ornaments to strengthen abilities and disposable magic tools with special effects as well as food and beverage, which can be considered luxury items, and furthermore, furniture.

When I had finished checking all of it, two hours had passed. My current CP is 20. This means I recover 10 CP per hour. There’s 705 hours of [Pseudo-Peace]. I can gain 7050 CP to use until my Domain will be open to raids. For the sake of survival, I have to carefully think over how I’m going to meaningfully spend my CP.

I’m at my wits’ end. Even if I want to sort my thoughts, there’s no pen or paper. I imagine various layouts in my head, but I can’t really organize them well since they just fade from my memory after a bit. If this was still my own room, I would at least have paper and a pen at hand. But all I have right now is a smartphone and a refrigerator… Oh! The smartphone!

When I operate it, I’m able to normally open the memo app… Aah yeah, after being struck by that strange phenomenon called [World Salvation Project], I totally forgot, but this is a smartphone, isn’t it?

“Eh? No way, is it possible?!”

I try opening other apps.

“Ooh?!”

From basic apps such as the Calculator and Alarm to games and the E-book reader; I could open all my installed apps. I didn’t expect that at all. And it also connects to the Internet without a hitch. Eh? There are electromagnetic waves here? There’s still more than 6 hours until my CP fully recovers. Thus, I decide to browse the Internet news.

Even though the words used in the articles were different, they all basically referred to the strange situation that had occurred as – 『The Cataclysm』. Inviolable areas suddenly manifested, and the people who lived within them were expelled outside. At present, efforts to shelter those people are being hastened under the lead of the respective governments.

Although they used different means to try, none could break into these inviolable areas. The inviolable areas cover 80% of the whole world. At this rate humanity will probably collapse in the near future. A certain country was even planning to launch a nuclear strike against one such area. And so on, and on, there was no single cheerful topic; the world was in chaos.

I couldn’t grasp it on a global scale, but if I lower it to the scale of Kanazawa… My Domain has a size of 6km², and the assumed number of Demon Kings is 60 – and if they all have Domains with the same size – it would result in 360 km² being inviolable areas, meaning 300,000 people have to live in the remaining area of approximately 100 km².

Yeah, that is hell on earth. If the humans besides [Chaos] learn of the [World Salvation Project], they’ll desperately invade en masse.

While I surf the Internet, my CP recovered up to 50. I close the browser for now and ponder how to use my CP.
