Conqueror

I'm still pretty depressed on those girls. I couldn't do anything. Damn it. Well no use dwelling on it now. "System, I'll get the rewards for level 5."

[Great Heal]

Heal 20% HP of anyone in your party in a 5 meter radius.

[Summon Basic Ammunition]

Sumon basic bullets and arrows. Even if upgraded it doesn't change anything. Cannot be buffed.

[Summon Mounts]

Summon a random mount. Only limited to land based mounts.

"I'll get Great Heal."

This will be useful. I'm going to hunt some monsters to enslave.

So I went back to the front of the forest to hunt some low level goblins and enslave them. I wounded them using my shortsword. "Let's try this. Enslavement."

[Forceful Enslavement]

The slave will be treated harshly but the success rate of the slave's loyalty will increase.

[Sympathetic Enslavement]

Treat the slave with care but the loyalty is unknown.

"I am no dictator. I will lead a peaceful kingdom. Sympathetic Enslavement. Make that always the default option."

[Understood. Sympathetic Enslavement is now the default option.]

[Used Sympathetic Enslavement on an Archer Goblin.]

[Enslavement Success.]

"Oh. So I can level up just by enslaving monsters? And why did I level up so fast? Oh... It must be because of the women in the Goblin's base. Tsk." I tried to forget what happened to those women. They didn't deserve it. I'll build a kingdom of peace. That's my promise and redemption for the women that died in that encampment. And this Archer Goblin will be my first unit.

"Hey. Can you understand me?" Since the universal language is passive, I hope this works.

"Yes... I can understand you. What do you want from me?" This goblin was really scared from me.

"I'm your master now. Serve me well."

"What do you mean? Are you going to kill me?"

"No. Just follow my orders and you live. That's all you'll do."

"Okay. I understand."

Hmm? Maybe the Enslavement skill affects the mind of the slave? That was too easy of a deal. "Heal. This is my pact that I won't hurt you unless you hurt me." The wounds I inflicted on the goblin was gone. "From now on your name is Rize Reysh. I bestow you my last name." This goblin is my first unit. Her name should be special.

"Thank you very much!" Her eyes widened. And in a matter of an instant she grew and gotten bigger. Almost the same height as me. Her body from a kid grew up to be a woman.

"What?! System what happened?"

[Archer Goblin evolved to Goblin Sniper]

"Yes but why did she evolve?"

[The slaves will get an evolution bonus whenever a player like you takes possession of a living being.]

Rize looked at her body confused on why she evolved so fast. "Hngg???"

"Rize did anything change? How about your skills?" I remember every skill of the Archer Goblins. And crap now that I think about it, I forgot to get the shroud skill from the encampment.

"Oh uhm... Yes I got a new skill called Summon Basic Ammunitions."

"That's perfect! Just use that whenever you use your bow."

[The system detected you haven't invested your skill points into anything. Do you want to put points now?]

"Hmm? Wait, what? I thought whenever I leveled up it would be automatic. Then, system show me my stats."

[Status]

[Points Available: 70]

The reason why my HP is high may be because of the HP Boost of the Tank Goblins. Its +10 per level. So I won't invest in that.

"System add 30 points to Strength, 20 points to Defense and 20 points to Stamina."

I might be the Tank for now for Rize. She needs to get stronger. Wait... Now that I think about it... How did she know that she has a new skill? Does she also have a system inside of her? For every monster in the world? Then she can get as strong as me? I guess I need to kill some monsters first for her to level up. I need her for my kingdom.

"System, add Rize Reysh to my party."

[Added Rize Reysh to your party]

Me and Rize hunted for some monsters for a while until the night. Rize was getting pretty used supporting me in the back row.

Night was in sight and we sat outside the forest and started a campfire and sat down on the grass.

"Rize what level are you now? Heal Rize."

"I'm level 5 now sir. Oh uh and thanks for the heal... Sir."

"That's good." I'm still level 7. It seems that the monsters inside the forest were weakened for some reason. May be because I destroyed the Goblin hideout they can't reproduce anymore? So only low level goblins that have been scattered throughout are left? Maybe its because that.

"Rize invest your points in strength and speed. Once we get to the city tomorrow I'll buy you a heavier bow."

"City? But... I'm not allowed... Inside."

There must be some discrimination inside the city. "Well I can get you in... Maybe. If I introduced you as a slave? I don't really think of you as a slave but a comrade that will be the start of me building my own kingdom."

She was speechless and was in tears. "Hey, hey don't cry." I tried to comfort her. "No its not that. Many of our days here in the forest is us running for our lives. I left the village so that I won't be attacked by humans or adventurers. I didn't agree with their methods of reproducing too. So I'm thankful that someone sees me eye to eye." She was helding back her tears. "I'll give you more people that can talk with you and have fun. So for now let's endure the harshness of the world. For soon we'll build our own kingdom and every monster there will co exist. I can promise you that."

"Really?"

"Yep. So tomorrow let's head down to the town and find a guild hall or something to get quests. That will be the first step of my creation of a kingdom. We shall let others know how dangerous we are."

After that talk we slept under the night on the campfire that kept us warm.

This will be the start of my conquest.
