Chapter 2
summoned subjects stepped forward and bowed to their new lord.
"We greet the lord!"
Leo watched them closely as a window popped up displaying their stats.

Leo was stunned.
I can see their stats? This is like a game interface...
A small note appeared beneath Emma's profile:
[Note: Subjects start with a base Loyalty of 50. If it drops below 30, they may rebel.]
Leo frowned slightly.
Looks like I'll need to treat them well. Not that I planned to treat them like slaves anyway.
He turned to observe the others:

"Welcome, all of you, to my territory," Leo announced.
"Thank you, my lord!" they chorused.
As the subjects began exploring their surroundings, Leo noted that even the workers had their own professions. But unlike the soldiers, he couldn't select their roles — they were simply grouped together as "workers."
Suddenly, several system notifications appeared:
[Lord's Local Channel has been unlocked!]
[Lord's World Channel has been unlocked! (5 messages per day)]
[Trading Post unlocked! Build a trading post to access it.]
[Friends List has been unlocked!]
"A chat channel for lords? That must be how we communicate… And the Marketplace — trading could be vital. Rare resources like food could help me get more basic materials."
But he had more pressing tasks first.
Leo quickly began assigning roles.
"Jack, Ava — scout the area within one kilometer. Map any enemies or resources."
"Samuel, Daniel — you'll gather wood. Henry and James — collect stones."
He pointed at Liam. "Stay behind and guard me."
Then, turning to Noah and Emma, he said, "Go with the workers and protect them while they gather resources."
I can't risk sending anyone to hunt until I know what's out there. We'll wait for the scouts to return first.
With the first tasks delegated, Leo turned to the new feature.
He opened the lord chat channel.
