Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Ye Ge slowly opened her eyes, and the world before her gradually became clearer.

The night was desolate. A warm campfire burned, and a camp made up of a few simple tents was set up. Three superhuman warriors sat around the campfire with him. A group of ragged militiamen and women walked around the camp. However, everyone looked listless, and their faces were full of numbness and exhaustion.

Night Song quickly pieced together her memories.

He was a prince of a fallen empire. His parents were killed, the palace was invaded, and his country was destroyed. But before the enemy stormed the palace, a group of loyal subordinates risked their lives to cover his escape with a small number of servants.

Ye Ge carefully recalled the world's worldview. Hmm, an extraordinary world with various professions: martial artists, mages, superhumans, archers, mechanics, beast tamers, and... wait? Why does this feel so much like a massively multiplayer online game I played in my past life?

"Your Highness, I'm afraid we still have to continue our journey," an elderly soldier with white hair said worriedly. "You are the only bloodline of the royal family, and Tang Shan will never let you go. They will definitely eliminate you completely."

"Yes, I know," Ye Ge replied, still lost in thought.

"Your Highness, we're almost out of food," another younger soldier whispered. "If this continues, all the servants will run away."

This world is not like a gamified real-time strategy game, but a completely realistic one. Therefore, there is no loyalty without a reason. Whether they are soldiers, slaves, or maids, they all have their own emotions, personalities, and thoughts. Once their masters can no longer even provide them with food, they will secretly leave to find their own way out.

"It's okay, I'll figure something out."

Ye Ge pondered for a moment, and soon immersed herself in her role in this life.

Since this world is so similar to the extraordinary system in "Tales of Myriad Races", can things that can be achieved in that game world also be achieved in this world?

......

Tang Shan always believed that he understood war very well.

As a nobleman's son, war was as commonplace to him as eating a meal. When he was young, he often saw his father leading many extraordinary warriors on expeditions to fight against alien races and seize the territory of the dark races. He had also accompanied his father on these expeditions.

Isn't it just about burning, killing, looting, seizing resources, plundering wealth, and wiping out all those damned dark races?

So when Tang Shan heard Lan Mi say that he didn't understand war, he felt very unconvinced and dismissive.

I've clearly been on the battlefield myself, so what gives you the right to say that?

After Tang Shan transmigrated to this world, he vaguely remembered his identity in his previous life, as well as the talents, knowledge, and extraordinary abilities he possessed.

But he had forgotten how he came into this world.

It seems that some of my memories have been locked away.

But none of that matters.

Since he'd already transmigrated, he should adapt to his new identity. Now, all he needed to do was eliminate Ye Ge, the former dynasty's prince!

However, this matter is both urgent and not urgent.

He now commands an army of 500,000 superhumans! A total population of 30 million!

As for the prince who escaped, it's unknown whether he had a hundred or so remaining servants.

Tang Shan didn't believe Ye Ge could cause any more trouble. To him, Ye Ge was like an ant, easily crushed at any moment. It was just that this ant had disappeared into some hidden corner and couldn't be found now.

The first year passed quickly.

For a year, Ye Ge disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where he had gone.

Finally, in the first month of the following year, intelligence agents reported that Yege had fled to the northern frontier of the human realm more than six months prior. It was an extremely barren area, heavily polluted by dark energy, utterly desolate and devoid of any vegetation. Yege fell seriously ill the day after arriving there and died a month later.

Tang Shan was overjoyed and richly rewarded the intelligence agent. With Ye Ge dead, he had no more worries—although he had never really taken this fallen prince seriously to begin with.

The third year.

For the entire year, Tang Shan basically indulged in the extravagance and debauchery of court life, spending lavishly and consuming ten thousand coins a day. His small kingdom was located in a relatively remote area of ​​this extraordinary continent, a place where military strategists did not contend, and basically no other races would target or harass them. To put it bluntly, he was a local tyrant, so he could enjoy his life in peace.

In his fourth year, Tang Shan continued to enjoy life.

The spy who had previously provided him with intelligence sent him over thirty beautiful women this time, saying they were maids bought from slave traders in a country across the sea, very obedient and highly skilled.

Tang Shan's eyes lit up, and he rewarded the spy with a large sum of money once again.

From now on, Tang Shan will be even more unrestrained, indulging in nightly revelry.

In the fifth year, Tang Shan continued to enjoy life. His two concubines bore him two children. On this land, he had no natural enemies, and in such a peaceful environment, he didn't even have the mind to cultivate. His strength and realm remained at the seventh level of the Earth Realm, let alone managing the country's political order.

In his sixth year, Tang Shan continued to enjoy life.

In his seventh year, Tang Shan was still enjoying life...

By the tenth year, problems within the territory began to surface. On this day, Tang Shan heard from a minister that the court's revenue for the year had turned negative. Tang Shan initially didn't take it seriously, so he waved his hand and ordered a 5% increase in taxes to replenish the court's treasury.

In the eleventh year, even more problems emerged. Tang Shan saw the report submitted by the minister and discovered that the population of his territory had suddenly decreased significantly this year! Tang Shan angrily questioned the minister about what had happened. The minister, sweating profusely, said that there had been a famine in recent years, many people had starved to death, and some refugees had fled the territory.

Moreover, there are actually many more problems.

For example, due to education issues, the average level of extraordinary individuals in the territory has been declining in recent years. At the beginning, the average level was Earth Realm, then it was only the average level of Profound Realm, and now even Yellow Realm extraordinary individuals are in very short supply.

The strongest person in the territory was originally an old minister at the Myriad Manifestations Realm, but after this old minister passed away last year, the strongest person is now only a general at the Thousand Souls Realm, and he is also very old.

The older generation gradually passed away, but no outstanding new talents emerged.

Meanwhile, many mining merchants in the territory went bankrupt one after another, leading to the unemployment of countless mining slaves.

Upon hearing this, Tang Shan looked astonished: "How is that possible? Why are so many businessmen suddenly going bankrupt?"
