Lying in bed, Noah tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
I slept all day, and now I can't sleep.
"I still need an emblem. An emblem for my identity and faction. I need to build a faction…"
A thought sparked.
"I'll create an underground faction. A shadowy mastermind controlling this world."
"System, what do you think?"
System: A brilliant idea.
"Alright, my faction will be called… the Shadow Hand Syndicate."
"No, that sounds too cheesy." Sigh… I'm not great at naming.
"Dark Assembly? Sounds decent. Light Covenant, Dawn Society, Justice League… Vengeance Squad, Illuminati… Triple Butterfly Society? No… Triple Heroes? Sounds like the Three Gorges Dam…"
"Use the manor as the faction? How about Tigerbold Manor Syndicate? Hmm, sounds a bit wild."
System: Host, using the manor as the faction would encompass both the Heavenly Dao and the Void, causing conflicts with both sides. I advise against this name.
"Conflict? With both sides?"
"Three Titans, then? Perfect. Don't I have two 'royals' in the manor already? Three Titans fits."
A window appeared before him.
Confirm the name Three Titans and the goal of world domination.
"Confirm."
System: Calculating… Main quest line established.

"If I send Steward Zhao Yu, wouldn't that finish it?"
Warning: Zhao Yu cannot leave the manor due to an outstanding debt.
"Oh, right…"

Staring at the character panel, Noah thought.
I need to recruit more members for this faction.
In Zhao Yu's room, he was intently communing with the Mindfix Blade when his token lit up, flooding him with information.
Find 74 more people? Sorry, Manor Lord, enchanting mortals' minds goes against my conscience. I can't do it. I'll stick to maintaining the manor.
Tossing the token aside, he resumed his communion.
Lalatina Celeste, Luna Hart, and Aurelia Liora were assigned to a servant's room.
Lalatina surveyed the small square room—a single large bed, a vanity table, and a wardrobe. As a noble princess, when have I ever stayed in such a tiny servant's quarters?
"Alright, from now on, we three sisters will live harmoniously in this room, yes?"
Luna Hart smiled, wrapping her arms around the slender waists of the two princesses, beaming.
"To live with two stunning princesses in this little room? Just the thought makes me happy."
Caught off guard by the embrace, Aurelia Liora, the youngest princess, spoke shyly.
"Sister! How can you be so carefree in this situation?"
Lalatina frowned slightly.
"Hart, you're a bit too hasty. Watch me."
She stepped forward, slowly wrapping her arms around Liora's waist, pulling her close.
"Little Liora is young. You can't be so rough."
Feeling something soft yet firm press against her back, Liora flushed, embarrassed.
"Sisters, stop teasing me!"
The three looked at each other, and the room erupted in laughter and playful chatter.
