System vs Rebirth

"We've finally arrived at this place." Eric smiled while looking at the buildings in the city.

"Yes. We can finally meet with Big Brother again." Erica nodded. "It's time for us to repay him for everything he has done."

"Agreed. But did you remember what that old lady… ahem, I mean, big sister Milfa said?" Eric asked.

"About this place becoming a city that no one has ever seen before?"

"Yeah."

"I'm not sure, but I think we'll be able to see it tomorrow. Anyway, let's sleep. The sooner we sleep, the faster the time passes. We can definitely meet Big Brother tomorrow. I hope."

As they were trying to return to their rooms, they suddenly heard a creaking sound coming from the door.

"!!!" Both Erica and Eric immediately looked at each other and sneakily moved around to find out who was actually bothering them.

But the moment they saw the figure standing at the entrance, they couldn't help but tear up and jump straight to him while screaming. "Big Brother!"

"W-woah? Easy, easy!" Noel chuckled while maintaining his balance as these two almost knocked him over. It had been a while since he had met them. In fact, it had been a few years since they first met. Noel still remembered how small they were. To think that their height was already around his chest. In just one or two more years, they might be as tall as him.

"Big Brother. I miss you!" Erica buried her face in Noel's stomach, sobbing.

"I miss you guys too." Noel patted Erica's head while turning to Eric. "Have you protected everyone, Eric?"

"Y-yes! I will definitely protect everyone." Eric furiously nodded.

It seemed that the kids had heard the commotion as well and immediately rushed to the entrance where they could meet Noel.

It was surprising that Eric and Erica had become Spirit Practitioners while the rest of the kids were in the Spirit Apprentice Stage. They must have worked extremely hard.

"I'm glad that you are all here." Noel smiled. It seemed that it would be a long night for Noel.

The next day.

"Raise your hand if you have experience in masonry," Aerton asked out loud. After finding a lot of people raising their hands, Aerton pointed to the side. "Those who raise their hands may go that way. There will be another person briefing you about your work. But I can say this for sure.

"You will be paid fairly. And because the city hasn't been completed yet, we'll provide all the food and water you need while paying you. So, work hard if you wish to become a citizen of this city."

The soldiers cooperated with Dimitri in assigning the tasks to the new people. Each division would get a few hundred people at once, so it was kind of hard to assign all of them at once.

However, once it was completed, the construction speed would increase drastically.
