The golden rays of the setting sun filtered through the branches of an ancient sycamore, casting dappled shadows across the serene hills of Starblade Territory. The breeze was cool, whispering through the grass and rustling the leaves above.
Beneath the wide canopy of the tree, Arthur lay with his hands folded behind his head, one leg crossed lazily over the other. His golden eyes were half-closed, but his mind was far from idle. Despite the calm that surrounded him, a subtle tension hummed in the air—one that only a Lord could feel when the world beyond his walls began to shift.
It had been six hours since the Global Event had begun.
He opened his interface with a thought. Soft light shimmered in front of him as glowing pannel and translucent menus appeared, hovering like celestial script before his eyes.
Event Resource Summary.
Kindle Petal Cores: 5,000,000
Blazing Hearthstones: 100,000
Emberveil Soulgems: 2,000
Arthur arched an eyebrow, a hint of amusement tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"Not bad," he murmured. "Looks like summoning a million subjects really paid off."
His gaze swept across the numbers again.
Total Event Points: 6,200,000
The figure glowed in gold at the bottom of the screen, pulsing softly.
He sat up, brushing a few blades of grass from his cloth, and leaned forward as he opened the Event Store.
Rows of items scrolled past—resources, equipment—but his focus was fixed on the limited tab at the top:

Arthur remained in deep thought, his gaze fixed on the shimmering interface in front of him, particularly on the section that listed the Special Soldier Recruitment Buildings available in the event market.
"I can afford one Gold Rank Special Soldiers Recruitment Building… and twelve Silver Rank ones," he murmured to himself, eyes narrowing slightly.
His mind began to race as he weighed the options.
Each building was a strategic asset, not just a flashy purchase. Some would align perfectly with his army's structure and future plans. Others, while powerful, would bring diminishing returns or redundancy. He couldn't afford to waste even a single point—not in a world where survival hinged on efficiency.
"I'll need to act fast," he thought, his expression tightening. "If I hesitate, others will get there first."
Arthur knew full well he wasn't the only one gunning for the high-value buildings. There were still over four to five billion human Lords—each one competing fiercely for dominance in this world.
The window of opportunity was small.
And the clock was ticking.
But then, a more decisive thought crossed Arthur's mind.
"Why hesitate? I might as well purchase every Silver Rank Special Soldier Recruitment Building that I have selected," he mused with a faint smirk. "It's not like I'll run out of event points anytime soon. I'm certain I'm far ahead of the others."
Confidence radiated from him. His overwhelming lead in event points wasn't just a guess—it was a calculated certainty. While billions of other Lords were still scrambling to gather stones and scrounge up enough for basic items, Arthur had already surpassed the threshold most could only dream of.
"I'll go with the Stormcallers," Arthur decided after a moment of thoughtful consideration. "This Special Soldier Recruitment Building is exceptionally powerful. The others have their merits, but for now, this one suits my current needs best."
Without hesitation, he exchanged 5,000,000 event points for the building.
[System Notification: Congratulations, Lord. You have exchanged 5,000,000 Event Points for the Stormcallers Recruitment Building.]
A shimmering blueprint materialized in his system panel, radiating a faint, pulsing light that hinted at the potent power it contained. Arthur reached into his inventory and retrieved the blueprint, his eyes narrowing slightly as he examined its details.

Stormcallers (Archer-Mage Hybrid)
- Rank: Gold
- Type: Recruitment Building
- Specialty: Channels lightning-infused arrows that arc between multiple enemies.
- Traits:
1. Area Attacks – Stormcallers can unleash volleys of charged arrows that explode on impact, damaging not just a single target but multiple enemies within a wide radius. Ideal for breaking enemy formations or overwhelming large groups.
2. Storm Debuffs – Enemies struck by their arrows suffer temporary elemental debuffs, reducing movement speed, evasion, and even magical resistance, making them more vulnerable to follow-up attacks.
3. Temporary Shock Zones – Upon striking, Stormcallers can create short-lived electric fields that linger on the battlefield. These fields intermittently discharge bolts of lightning, stunning and damaging any enemy who enters or remains within them.
Note- can be build directly.

"Impressive," Arthur murmured, his voice filled with excitement as he read through the description. "I can deploy this blueprint immediately... and the building will be constructed without delay."
A faint grin tugged at the corner of his lips. This wasn't just another upgrade—it was a significant boost to his military power. With Stormcallers under his command, his forces would gain an elite unit capable of both magical and ranged devastation, ideal for both offense and defense.
And in this dangerous world, power like that wasn't just useful—it was necessary.
Then Arthur started thinking about which silver rank special soldiers recruitment building should he purchase...
