I'm Actually Not Overpowered!-Chapter 11 Let The Kingdombuilding Begin!

From the dawn of time, Demons have always been the dominant race in this world.

They were superior in every way, and their capabilities far surpassed that of any other being.

These beings were not only more intelligent, but their advancements and innovations also propelled them to the top of the food chain. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

Power and influence belonged to them.

That was basically the state of things in T.W.T.S.S.

Unlike my world, where humans reigned supreme, the Demons were in charge here. Just as we had innovations and advanced civilizations back on Earth, the Demons had the same thing going on here.

In short, they were the humans of this world.

Every other being could be classified as lower animals—actual humans included.

For the sake of specificity, it should be noted that the humans were considered primitive, perhaps they would be regarded as the equivalent of apes or monkeys in my previous world.

While the humans were recognized to possess some level of intelligence, they were too primitive to compete with the Demons.

Basically, this was the hierachy in this world.

Demons were at the top.

Weaker creatures were at the bottom. Humans existed somewhere in the middle.

And this unfair situation was created by none other than the monarch of this world—the Demon God.

As the name implied, this being was the God of Demons.

As a result, he was on their side. This world was designed for them to be at the top.

Everything that existed was for their benefit, and every other creature could only struggle for the scraps.

Just as humans on Earth often gloated about being the superior species, the Demons enjoyed such privilege here.

As such, other creatures could never even dream of changing the status quo .

The Level Cap for everyone was determined. The number of Skills, Titles, Job Rank, Stats; everything had been predetermined to ensure that no race could ever compete with the Demons.

For instance, humans had a Level Cap of 30. No human could exceed that limit, no matter how strong.

That meant it was the peak of growth.

Compared to that, even the weakest High-Rank Demons were about Level 50. The vast difference ensured no one could ever challenge the Demons.

No one except the Hero!

In essence, the major difference between the Hero and everyone else was that he had no limit. The Cap placed on the inhabitants of this world didn't apply to a foreigner.

That was the principle behind the Hero's existence… as well as the reason why only he could stand against the Demons.

As such, the Hero was literally the only hope of the people.

They had no other choice!

Having grown tired of living like livestock, everyone now prayed and begged for a savior—someone who could deliver them from their status as nobodies.

It was this very desperation that birthed my Transmigration into this world.

I became the crystalization of the desires of this world, and the natural enemy of the dominant species in this world.

Pretty epic story, yeah?

"Hmmm…" My lips quivered as I felt my eyes slowly open.

My body was comfortably lying on a comfortable bed, and I could feel all the exhaustion from the previous day seep away.

"Good morning, Hero." A sonorous voice sounded by my bedside.

Yep, someone was watching me.

"Sarah, I've told you already. Call me Sam." I spoke, rising from the lovely bed and sitting upright.

"I-I'm so sorry for my disobedience, He—S-Sam…" She stuttered nervously.

'It seems she's still having difficulty getting used to it.' I sighed, getting my eyes used to my environment.

I was currently in what could only be described as my residence.

The entire structure was a large tent that I bought from the Junkyard.

It was quite cheap, but it served an important purpose. Since there was no way I was going to sleep in the dirty tents they had, this was the best alternative I had.

Of course, everyone marveled when I pulled the stuff out of nowhere.

"As expected of the Hero!"

"The Hero is amazing!"

"All hail the Hero!"

Their marvel at something so basic made me realize why humans were referred to as a primitive race in this world.

Still, I couldn't exactly blame them, could I?

This was the only life they knew to live.

"Good morning, Sarah. Fetch me my Ancient Grimoire." I told her with a dignified look.

Instantly, the girl rushed to a corner within the tent.

There was a chair and table—like a reading spot. Atop the desk was what I told her to get me.

The object itself was in a black and gold case, having rune symbols designed around it.

It looked powerful and mysterious indeed—a look I was going for when I purchased it from my world.

Yes, the Grimoire was none other than my Tablet.

"Here it is, my Lord!" With blinding speed, Sarah was back with my item.

I nodded and accepted it, opening it to check the time and date.

'It's time for my Daily Log…' I thought, staring at the screen.

Picking up my stylus pen, I opened my 'Notes' and created a new entry.

[Tuesday, September 6, 2022]

~It has been three days since I arrived in this world, two nights since I have slept here.

Initially, I was worried about what my life here would be like, but I have to say, I'm adjusting quite well~

A smile formed on my face as I looked around the tent I was in.

A wardrobe stood in a corner—opposite the study desk and chair. I had a few attires within. As much as I tried to be frugal with my expenses, being a Hero meant I needed to look the part.

Raising the opinion of everyone around me was important work.

'Though, it seems that has already maxed out.'

My study desk had a few books that I needed in order to assist me with the ongoing plans I had for this place.

One of the books was different from the other modern ones. It was a detailed report given by Sarah; telling me all the important information about the Camp, and also the general state of the world.

Since my knowledge of the first round was limited, I needed more Intel to plan ahead. Besides, if I didn't study well, everyone would eventually figure out my ignorance.

I definitely couldn't have that, so I decided to study every night before bed.

'I've always liked reading, so it's not so bad…'

If I thought of the report as a story, then it was easier to digest.

Other than the basic furniture, my tent was empty. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

I preferred a wide space. It made my premises look grander.

I proceeded to go outside to get some air, moments later, I resumed my Entry.

~As I wrote earlier, the total population of this settlement is three hundred and five. Though, the current population is less than that because some of the townsfolk left to gather supplies from a neighboring settlement.~

I ordered Sarah to prepare warm water for me, so she skittered out of my room to get the job done.

~The two hundred and ninety people here are loyal to me and see me as their champion. It is a heavy burden to bear, but I'm trying my best.~

A warm cup of tea was already ready by my bedside. I picked it up and had a good sip.

"Haaa… Sarah sure knows how to treat a guy well."

If I had to praise one thing in this world, it would be their meditative tea. It definitely relaxed my nerves.

~My current Karmic Value is 2,300. It has been fluctuating recently, but I have to admit that it's a good development from the 1,505 I started with.

Thanks to the numerous achievements I have been raking in, the System supplies Karmic Value as compensation.

I'm trying to minimize my spending, but if I consider it as an investment, it's easier to buy some stuff.

By getting a good amount of stuff from the Junkyard, I can put them to good use here.~

I was quite satisfied with what I was doing, and it wasn't just thanks to the help of my world's technology.

~By combining my knowledge of the T.W.T.S.S Novel, the items from the Junkyard, and my personal Abilities, I was getting good results.

Well, it's my third day here. Let's hope for the best!~
