New World Kingdoms[10]

[Ace POV],

For quite some time, I've been noticing that I've been unconsciously undervaluing the pills I make, and today's event just confirmed this.

It's not that I've been downplaying the benefits of the pills because I make them myself.

What I was criticizing about my pills was their monetary worth.

This was understandable given my preconceived notions about how much a pill mass-produced from a set of materials worth three silver coins could possibly cost.

This has also been a question on my mind for quite some time, ever since I saw the price of the rank 1 health potion.

This event, along with me selling my pills, proved that my pills, or any material in general that helped in healing or had healing properties, had a lot of value.

Perhaps I should have checked the value of my pills in the exchange section in the store before all of this happened.

As I was thinking about this, I gave Caleb my name, and immediately after I gave it to Caleb, a panel appeared in front of me, telling me that an entity named 'Caleb Rock' was sending a contact request and asking me if I wanted to accept the contact request.

Seeing this, I accepted the contact request fairly quickly because I already knew who had sent me the request in the first place.

It also makes me curious about how the primordial chronicle operates.

For instance, consider this contact system of a thing.

For one thing, how could the names we entered in the contact section of the primordial chronicle always have a real connection to the person we also had a connection to?

For example, when I entered Anna's name in the contact section to send a contact request to her, she received a notification from the primordial chronicle right away, but the thing is that among the several hundred of millions of people on planet spe, Anna shouldn't be the only one bearing her name, so why was it that only she received the contact request?

Well, I believe it's just her.

It's also similar to what happened now, because after telling Caleb my name for him to send a contact request, I did receive the contact request notification, but I was certain that I wasn't the only one with my name in the world.

While I was intrigued by how the primordial chronicle navigated these issues, I didn't dwell on it too much because as long as it worked for me, that was all that mattered.

And I haven't tried entering a random name in the contact section to see what happens, which I should do if I remember.

Caleb spoke as he brought me out of my thoughts with his voice as I was thinking these things.

"All right, that's done," he said as he turned to look for me, before adding, "You have quite a familiar name," he chuckled, which I ignored.

I had no idea what impact my fame would have in the true world.

The reason I even gave Caleb another pill bottle to buy was because of an idea that came to me while we were talking.

For one thing, I knew Caleb leader was a king, but I didn't know who this king was or if he was the person I assumed the king was based on the pendant on Caleb's neck.

I needed information and answers to some questions, and Adara's father was the only person who could assist me without difficulty.

I just didn't know if he was Caleb leader or not, and even if he wasn't, I needed to speak with a high ranking human, such as a king, who was already ahead in the human race.

I needed to contact someone like this not because I wanted to join him or her or cling to their leg, nor because I wanted to work for them, but for another reason: information and money.

I didn't know if the thoughts in my head would come true, but one thing I did know was happening based on the information I received from Caleb, and that was that humanity was already adapting.

Our adaptability to anything has been the greatest trait of humanity to this day.

We were here trying to survive, but even so, we had the ability to start making homes for ourselves in this unknown world that had a lot to offer despite the short time it took us to get here.

However, it was also because of this that I believed history would repeat itself.

Perhaps I was overthinking things, but there has been one trait of humans that has led to many things, and that trait is our desire for more.

Simply put, it was our greed.

It was the same greed that led to war, but the difference between the past war and the one that could happen in the future was that this time, we humans were fighting against different species rather than ourselves, but as history has always repeated itself, there would come a time when we humans would fight ourselves.

The thing that fueled this thought of mine was this 'settlement' that exists in this world but is actually just a human territory led by people who were likely kings and queens before the apocalypse and something about these kings and queens and humans in general was our desire to have more and perhaps in the case of these leaders, what they'll desire was a larger territory and power.

Maybe it was the ability to be above all and below none.

The ability to make decisions that affect the lives of a thousand people.

The power to compel people to worship them.

Humans have always been creatures who desired the strangest things, but if what I was expecting happened, there would undoubtedly be a war in the future.

Of course, that was assuming these leaders were able to retake the land from the monsters in the true world in order to expand the size of their settlements and, perhaps, if they had bigger ambitions, to establish their kingdoms.

If all of my thoughts came true, there were already a number of things I could envision that would benefit me and earn me money.

Perhaps this will aid humanity in retaking the land from monsters, allowing us to rebuild our civilization from the ground up, or it may simply aid humans in further destroying themselves; only time will tell, but for now, I'd be content if I could earn a decent living from a king or leader who might be interested in my pills, as they were quite a military resource of some sort.

This is why I informed Caleb that I had the ability to create the pills he believes are valuable.

It would be good if this matter reached his king, but it could also cause me problems, but when was there ever a time in human history when we didn't have to take a risk of some kind for a particular thing or goal?

Caleb spoke again as I turned to focus my attention on what he was going to say when I noticed him open his mouth to speak.

"I would like to speak with you again. Ace, and if you need a place to stay, you can always contact me," he said, adding, "And about this medicine you make, can you make it in batches?" When I heard this, he asked, and I replied.

"Yes, I can make them in bulk, though the materials and process are quite complicated," I said, lying through my teeth to boost the value of my pills.

Caleb nodded before speaking when he heard what I said.

"That's normal because this medicine must surely be difficult to make," he said, to which I replied with a blank stare.

"..."

"U-ur, so talk with you later?"

"Okay then, see you later," I said as I made my way out of the area when I realized I didn't have anything else to do here, but before I did, I spoke briefly with Caleb, who appeared to have finally rested enough and was also getting ready to leave.

After this occurred, I left the area we were in before Caleb could and continued my way up to the surface, which didn't appear to be too far away anymore.
