On the day of his birthday, a dramatic, spectacular event that would change his life forever was about to occur. His birthday preparations were going smoothly; the king was happy while his four wives were scheming something. As King Leoniel was talking to his guests, a disguised man appeared. He and the first wife exchanged wicked smiles. Even though Leoniel was deep in conversation, he immediately noticed that something was off. He used telekinesis to communicate with the guard he had assigned to Lara and Leonard. He uttered the code phrase "Operation 2i," and the guard understood. They took Lara and Leo, arranged them in a cargo hold, and transported them to different continents. His mom was taken to Goldizone, while Leo was transported to the Forbidden Zone. Both were knocked out.
Meanwhile, the wives wanted to set their plan in motion. They sent their disguised men to their rooms but were shocked to find that there was no one to exterminate. Furious, the wives spread a rumor that the king had purposely kidnapped his fifth wife so that their grand plan would be unveiled. However, since the king dismissed all their attempts, they had no choice but to swallow their pride. The king then announced to his kingdom: "On my fifth wife's son's birthday, some of my wives planned to kill him." One of the bodyguards had overheard their plots, so he informed me. I then decided to send my fifth wife and son into hiding until the matter died down and so that the traitors in the castle would be duly punished. With that, I officially closed the case.
The scene shifts to Leo waking up in a moving payload. "Where are we going?" he shouted. The rider ignored him. Leo then said, "Since it will be a long ride, why don't I just wait it out? Anyway, let me take a look at my stats."
NAME: LEONARD NOBLEISTATUS: REINCARNATED LEVEL 1 (10X)MP: 0 (10X)HP: 100 (10X)PS: HIGH HP RECOVERY, REGENERATION, INSTANT MP RECOVERY, 10X STAT BOOST TO EACH SKILLSS: HIGH IQ, SIMULATION, CRAFTING MASTERY, HEAVENLY FURNACE, HIGH-TECH FACTORY, GODLY PHONE/LAPTOP, MATERIAL FINDERIQ: NOT YET KNOWN
"Wow, not bad, but my MP is 0. Why, you gods—will you pay for this? But this skill really isn't bad—it's actually a blessing in disguise. And since it's going to be a long ride to who knows where, let me start using the simulation."
In his simulation, the knowledge he had of this world was emerging. Firstly, it is called Achreon, and from the data so far, it is as big as Jupiter in his previous world. Apparently, all humans and other races need to have magic or a strong physique to survive. The world is divided into three parts: the Commoner Sect, the Middle-Class Sect, and the Noble Class Sect. Each sect rules different continents—even though there are 12 continents, eight of them are ruled by these sects. The remaining four are classified as Forbidden and Forgotten, so each sect rules four continents. Since he was on the road to the Forbidden Zone, he could already tell things were different. Yet, it seemed that the gods wanted him to start from the bottom. As if a lifetime of suffering wasn't enough, now he was going to suffer round two.
As months passed, he stayed in the simulation, rethinking all aspects he could improve—considering which tech the world needed and which tech he had the highest chance of pulling off. When he arrived in the Forbidden Zone, it was sealed off. The carriage stopped as the rider announced, "We have arrived." The rider opened the payload, and Leo stepped down. He looked at a complete wasteland with no signs of life—only scorching heat and an endless desert. Yet, as Leo looked at it, he saw paradise. "Is the Forbidden Land owned by someone?" he asked. The rider replied, "It is not owned by anyone." Leo then said he would tell the king that he wanted permission to own the Forbidden Land. The rider replied, "I promise you, your sacrifice will be repaid."
Left alone, Leo declared, "Well, now this is my new path." He stepped into the scorching desert and declared, "This desert will be my paradise."
The scene now shifts back to the royal palace. His Majesty was depressed as he thought of his fifth wife and his son. "I hope he will be fine," he murmured. Shifting his thoughts to his four other wives, he wondered, "What will I do with them? I can't just divorce them—that would cost me dearly, diminishing my power, authority, and influence." Then an idea popped into his mind: he wanted to know which of his wives was truly faithful to him and not cheating. Time flew by, and the land permit got signed by the king. Curious to see what Leo would do with a wasteland, he observed as hidden, dark secrets began to unfold.
One of the wives—his second wife—had an affair with the vice chancellor, resulting in her being pregnant by him. To hide it from the king, on the day of his birth, a magician was contracted to create a special mask that would make the illegitimate child look like the king. Later, the king's haters sent an assassin who poisoned him. The poison was a special type made for kings, one that only the blood of his real son could break—and it required at least three gallons of blood for him to be freed from the poison. Word spread, and the king asked his wives who was willing to help him. The vice chancellor called his second wife to discuss the matter. The king happened to be passing by and decided to investigate the commotion in the second wife's room. When he heard the bitter truth, he could not control his rage. He broke down the door and gave his second wife a dirty slap.
"I was loving an illegitimate child, and what's worse, the child of the vice chancellor—whom I loved like a brother! How could you two do this to me?" Enraged beyond measure, he suffered a heart attack. The king could not survive; he passed away, and his second wife and the vice chancellor were executed for treason and murder.
As for the illegitimate child, the first wife's son did not want to kill him, so he sent the child to a fortress for safekeeping, saying he was too innocent. Fear then gripped the third and fourth wives as they wondered what would happen to Leo.
You may ask, "What happened to Leo?" Well, let's say he began to transform the wasteland into a paradise. He turned the barren land into his tech ground, using the blessings of the gods to reform it into a highly advanced and sophisticated area. He even changed the name from Forbidden and Forgotten to Isolated, as he did not want it mingled with the rest of the world. Leo first sought permission from the God of Weather, who, along with the God of Agriculture, gave him a thumbs up. He altered the weather patterns so that they could support life. Next, he used the blessing of the God of Agriculture to make the soil fruitful. Thirdly, he employed the blessing of the God of Life to create a cycle of life (excluding humans), and then the blessing of the God of Resources to create the necessary minerals. With the blessing of the God of Crafting, he began building zones divided for farming, factories, research, facilities, and optimization. Not forgetting the God of Tech's blessing, he implemented AI into each of his facilities, creating specialized machines. He also constructed a special barrier using a dangerous combination of magic and technology, which made the world go nuts trying to breach his territory. It was a diamond-strong country where no noble could even approach the gate, thanks to his meticulously crafted security measures. Even the gods who had granted him power were astonished by his ingenuity—to the extent that they were jealous.
To top it all off, on his tenth birthday, he achieved his aim. Now, moving the clock to the present: Leonard is 13 years old. He thought, "I've achieved my technological goals and I'm satisfied, but I'm bored—after being a lab rat my whole life, I think it's time for me to explore the world." The gods were surprised by his intelligence and somewhat regretted giving him their powers. Leonard then said, "It's time for me to check my stats." As he opened his display, it read:
NAME: LEONARD NOBLEISTATUS: REINCARNATED LEVEL 1440 (10X BOOST)MP: ∞HP: ∞PS: HIGH HP RECOVERY, REGENERATION, INSTANT MP RECOVERY, 10X STAT BOOST TO EACH SKILL, UNIQUE INVENTORSS: HIGH IQ, SIMULATION, CRAFTING MASTERY, HEAVENLY FURNACE, HIGH-TECH FACTORY, GODLY PHONE/LAPTOP, MATERIAL FINDERIQ: ∞TECHNOLOGY INVENTED: AI DRONES, COMBAT ROBOTS, HUMANOID ROBOTS, NEURAL NETWORKS, UNLIMITED NETWORK SPEED, INFINITE AI CHIPS, WEAPONS, ELECTRICITY, MAGIC TECHNOLOGY FUSIONTERRITORY ACQUIRED: FORBIDDEN AND FORGOTTEN
As Leo grew comfortable with his stats, he declared, "Now it's time to step into the world." He told his AI that he would be gone for a while and that he was going to call a god to control the country in his absence. The God of Tech had been pestering him to verify his stronghold, so he would come and rule for now until Leonard returned. "Take good care of him," he instructed, "and open the gate." The robots input a password, and the gates opened. Leo stepped out and commanded them to use camouflage as he began the journey of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
