The Tales of Draconic Warlock

In the month that I stayed at home, I did a lot.

First, I helped my father as much as I could. I called my mother and made my father think about delegating the tasks to others whom he could trust and not micromanage everything.

There are many things that wouldn't need his oversight. This may cause some corruption but we wouldn't lose that much anyway, as we are now.

Life is not just about having gold in our hands but should be able to use it along with our loved ones. If they can't be used like that, no matter how much you earn, it's worthless.

He was missing a lot and there was no improvement in him since he crossed to Tier-6 sometime ago. If my skills were better, I could oust him easily in a fight. He needs to concentrate a bit more and reach Tier-7.

The strength of a family is determined by the number of high rankers in the family.

When I was a kid, there were none. Even my mother was a mid-ranker to be precise. She crossed to being a high ranker only recently.

You may see my rank and think it should be easy but I am an anomaly.

Due to certain reasons that can't be disclosed to others, I reached this rank faster than anyone before me. Maybe there could have been geniuses who could have reached my rank by my age but there are none as of now, at least not in this kingdom.

So reaching Tier-7 in a kingdom such as ours, one would be considered akin to gods and everyone respects them, no matter their origin.

So if a family has multiple Tier-7, then they can increase their area of control, but that's not easy as most of the time would be required to concentrate on that, instead of other things.

Moreover, expanding their territories would face many restrictions like the territories of other nobles or stronger monsters in the area.

Occupying or not occupying an area depends on the economic point of view. If the income is less than the expenses, then there is no need to waste resources or time on projects like that.

When someone wants to expand their territories, what they want is profit and a way to further improve the strength of their house. If the expansion didn't support that, there was no way anyone would try to occupy new territories.

The only ones who would even be interested in low-resource territories are the ones who have no territories at all. To them, it would be like starting a great future.

Moreover, when someone who has nothing to support their backs opens new lands, the kingdom has some incentives for them such as Tax benefits.

If I open, as a son of a viscount, I would get less benefits but the number would be decided based on my family's fortune. Since my family can be considered as one of the poorest viscounties, I would get good benefits.

The benefits would rise if someone opened lands for human habitat at the borders. This was because there were foreign enemies and dangerous monsters nearby. Since the place would be pretty far away from reinforcements, the chances of getting damaged are very high.

So as an incentive, frontier towns at the borders of the kingdom would receive benefits better than towns that are established inside the kingdom.

Anyway, I hope my father would give up some responsibilities and free his hands to improve his rank and thereby increase the power of the family. After all, we are at the borders and can expand the lands without having conflicts with others, except with the monsters.

I scrounged up everything that I had and converted them into resources to open the portal to the next secret realm. I hoped that the new one would have Tier-7 and above monsters but as of now, I didn't find many.

There were a few Tier-7 but since I don't know where I entered the secret realm, I am still hoping that there are a lot of Tier-7 and above monsters.

At present, I may not kill Tier-8 but Tier-7, I can kill them. With every increase in my level, there would be a lot of increase in my attributes. It means that sooner than later I would be able to clash with a Tier-8 and would come out on the top.

With the help of the secret realm, I was able to increase my rank by two levels this month.

As a Tier-6, I would get +3,125,000,000,000 HP/MP and +312,500,000,000 INT per level.

HP/MP = 2*3,125,000,000,000 = 6,250,000,000,000

INT = 2*312,500,000,000 = 625,000,000,000

My new status looks like this now.
