While the outside world roiled with unrest…
…the true culprit remained blissfully unaware.
Nazarick, an elegant and stately study.
Four people sat around a table.
Draco: "Red Dragon!"
Susu: "Red Dragon!"
Albedo: "Red Dragon!"
Shuna: "Hu—Thirteen Orphans!"
Albedo: "???"
"They discard Red Dragon and you don't win, yet the moment I do you call mah-jong—are you deliberately provoking me?!"
Albedo slammed the table, glaring in fury.
"Oh dear, I'm still new—I didn't notice the first two Red Dragons~"
Shuna spread her hands, smiling smugly.
"You…!"
Albedo trembled with rage, but with Draco present she dared not flip the table.
"A-hem—harmony breeds wealth; let's keep going."
Draco hastily smoothed things over.
Once more the clatter of shuffling tiles filled the study.
These past idle days, Draco had taught them the quintessence of his homeland.
Of course, he hadn't spent the whole time playing mah-jong.
The mountain of magic tomes borrowed from the Kingdom of Falmuth had all been devoured.
Besides raising his MP to 670,000, Draco had also mastered Alchemical Magic.
For some reason, however, the system filed it under Material Summon.
As a result, his "Summon All Things" gained a new effect.
He could now summon magical items.
Ordinary gear—healing potions, mana restoratives, teleport scrolls—could all be conjured.
Occasionally something rare appeared: the Goblin-General's Horn, a One-use Forbidden Scroll, a spatial ring, and so on.
Decent magical weapons popped up from time to time as well.
By Draco's reckoning, the skill might even summon world-class items one day.
But this magic consumes a lot of MP, so Draco can only draw 60 times a day.
Since waiting for his MP to recover takes several hours, he can only kill time by playing mahjong.
By the way.
Draco also looked through the books on forbidden magic in the Falmuth Kingdom's magic library.
Most of these books were useless, containing mostly theories.
However, after the system's evaluation, Draco actually learned two Super-Tier Magic spells.
"Sky and Earth Change": Changes the weather and terrain; generally useless. (Can be used to show off.)
"Advent of the Heavenly Host": Can summon six "Gatekeeper Cherubim" of level 80 or higher, which have excellent performance as tanks and also possess superb detection abilities.
The effects of the two skills were average, but they definitely had a high cool factor.
Since he got them for free anyway, Draco was more than happy to accept them.
As for the large number of magic books, they were temporarily handed over to Shuna to handle.
She has a high talent for learning, so giving them to her was a way to make the best use of everything.
For this purpose, Draco specifically renovated the Ancient Library on the Tenth Floor.
Shuna took on the part-time role of Librarian for the time being.
For the next two weeks, Nazarick was peaceful.
Except for the fact that every time Draco woke up, there would always be an extra person by his side, everything else was normal.
Moreover, the number of personnel on the Ninth Floor also began to increase.
They were all High-ranking Demons with decent looks.
As for how these people appeared, that would have to start from a week ago.
That day, Draco was wandering around Nazarick, and when he reached the Sixth Floor, he suddenly felt...
That not utilizing such a vast forest would be a complete waste of resources.
Thus, Draco began to summon monsters frantically.
Some uncivilized or useless monsters were directly thrown into the Great Forest to fend for themselves.
As well as some monsters with different living environments, such as elemental dragons, mermen, and black snakes.
Draco arranged for them to be in the floors that suited them.
For instance, the elemental dragons were A-rank existences and were quite large in size.
Based on the four attributes of Gale, Ice, Fire, and Earth-shatter, they went to the Magma World, the Frozen World, and the Wasteland respectively.
Some aquatic monsters were placed in the underground lake on the Fourth Floor.
And some cave creatures were placed in the graveyards of the Second and Third Floors to guard them.
Occasionally, there were some Lv70 monsters, or rather, demons with A-rank strength.
Such as the Werewolf Tribe, Minotaur Tribe, Rabbitman Tribe, Cat-ear Tribe, and so on.
The males were tasked with reclaiming wasteland and growing food on the Sixth Floor.
Furthermore, Draco captured a large number of cattle and sheep from the plains outside and put these people in charge of raising them.
He let them build their own houses from the timber they cut down, and Draco would help them with some simple renovations.
We're not some black-hearted company, after all.
Although there's no salary, at least room and board are included, right?
Some female demons were handed over to Albedo for management.
Their main duties were cleaning the Ninth Floor and assisting Shuna.
There were also many vegetables, fruits, and medicinal herbs with high edible value in the forest.
Draco also arranged for them to search for and transplant these.
Additionally, for some floors without food, these maids were required to deliver food every day.
As a result of his arrangements, Nazarick suddenly became quite lively.
As for the matter of naming, Draco was also proceeding steadily.
But he could only name one or two people per day.
After all, he didn't have a power bank like Storm Dragon to provide him with Endurance.
During these days, although Draco's level hadn't increased, his strength was steadily rising.
Due to summoning a large number of creatures, he acquired a vast amount of passive and active skills.
There were so many skills that he had already lost count.
Because of the passive bonuses, Draco's character panel showed significant changes at this time.

Looking at such a panel, Draco was quite satisfied... Time passed quietly in peace and harmony.
Until one month after Draco arrived in the other world.
The cooldown for his "Designated Summoning" skill refreshed.
