In Another World With My Building Skills, And Made My Own Kingdom

Rebuilding the City and Creating a Currency

Kenta stood at the edge of the forest, gazing at the ancient, abandoned city that lay before him. The once-great metropolis, shrouded in a veil of mystery and dark magic, now stood as a testament to the resilience of time. Its towering buildings, though weathered and overgrown with vines, still retained a sense of grandeur and potential. The city had been deserted for reasons now known to Kenta and his council: a malevolent force had driven its inhabitants away. But now, with the dark crystal destroyed, the city was ripe for renewal.

Kenta turned to his advisors, who stood behind him, each one eager yet wary of the task that lay ahead. Elara, the wise and learned elder; Seraphina, the fierce warrior and protector; and Aiden, the newly appointed advisor who had brought his people to Kenta's kingdom seeking refuge.

"This city holds great promise," Kenta began, his voice filled with determination. "We have an opportunity here to not only expand our kingdom but also to honor the past by rebuilding this once-great city. We will restore it, infuse it with our own culture and values, and make it a shining example of what we can achieve together."

Elara stepped forward, her eyes scanning the ruins. "The architecture is unique and advanced. We can learn much from it, and in turn, improve our own designs. But we must be cautious. The dark magic that once plagued this place may have left remnants."

Seraphina nodded, her hand resting on the hilt of her sword. "We'll need to clear the city of any remaining threats and secure it before we can begin rebuilding. We should send scouts and mages to cleanse the area."

Aiden, ever pragmatic, added, "We'll also need to transport resources and organize labor. This will require careful planning and coordination. The refugees who came with me are eager to help and would benefit greatly from new opportunities here."

Kenta smiled, appreciating the input of his trusted advisors. "Then it's settled. We will take this city and make it our own. Let's return to the kingdom and start organizing our efforts."

Back in the kingdom, Kenta wasted no time. He called for a grand assembly, inviting all able-bodied citizens to participate in the reclamation project. Craftsmen, builders, mages, and soldiers all gathered in the great hall, eager to hear their king's plan.

"Citizens of our great kingdom," Kenta began, standing atop the dais, his voice carrying throughout the hall. "We have discovered a city to the west, abandoned and in ruins. It is our duty and privilege to restore it, to breathe new life into its walls, and to expand our kingdom's reach. This will be a monumental task, but I have no doubt that together, we can achieve greatness."

The crowd erupted in cheers, their enthusiasm palpable. Kenta outlined the plan: first, they would send scouting parties to secure and cleanse the city. Next, they would transport building materials and resources to begin the reconstruction. Finally, they would establish a new settlement, complete with markets, homes, and places of learning and worship.

Elara and Seraphina coordinated the scouting parties, ensuring that each group was equipped with both combat prowess and magical expertise. Aiden took charge of logistics, organizing the transport of resources and the allocation of labor. Kenta, meanwhile, focused on the overall strategy, ensuring that every aspect of the project was meticulously planned and executed.

The first wave of scouts entered the abandoned city, moving cautiously through the deserted streets. Seraphina led the charge, her keen senses alert to any potential dangers. The city, though silent and still, held an air of foreboding.

"Stay alert," Seraphina instructed her team, her eyes scanning the shadows. "We don't know what remnants of dark magic might still be here."

The scouts spread out, systematically searching each building and alleyway. They encountered pockets of residual dark energy, which the mages promptly dispelled. As they ventured deeper into the city, they discovered signs of the former inhabitants: abandoned homes with personal belongings still intact, markets with stalls left in disarray, and public squares that once bustled with life.
