System: Birth of Kingdoms
Chapter One: Adam's Island is Born
Adam sat on the edge of his balcony, staring at the clear blue sky as if it were weaving his future. He had no idea that his life was about to change forever in the coming hours. Suddenly, a strange symbol appeared on a small screen in the corner of his room, glowing with neon blue light. A calm, mysterious, yet firm voice spoke:
> "Adam, the System has chosen you. You will become the leader of a nation and will be granted a 10 km² island in the ocean. Prepare to build your kingdom."
Adam swallowed hard. He didn't scream or move quickly; instead, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment. His mind raced: island, nation, responsibility, resources, tasks… everything required careful planning.
Immediately, a virtual map appeared, showing the boundaries of his small island. It was rich with dense forests, limited mineral resources, freshwater lakes sufficient for 200 people, and beaches suitable for establishing trade ports. Next to the map, a small flashing panel outlined the initial tasks:
1. Build a basic resource warehouse – 50 points
2. Recruit the first 10 citizens – 100 points
3. Set up an administrative office – 30 points
The System added:
> "Players who complete their tasks first will gain higher rankings and extra points. Early progress determines the strength of each nation in the future."
Adam smiled. For him, the economy was his first weapon. "I won't rush into conflicts now… I need to build a strong foundation. Any wrong move could push me to the lower ranks."
He immediately issued his orders: construct the warehouse, prepare housing, register citizens, and send requests to recruit five of the best available citizens from Morocco, Saudi Arabia, America, China, and Algeria. Each one had unique skills and points: physical strength, creativity, trading abilities, loyalty, and defense.
While observing his island from above, he noticed a red glow on the map. A neighboring island was under another player's control. No battle had occurred yet, but it was a reminder that the competition had begun. "I won't rush into war now… I'll build a strong economy first and focus on attracting the best citizens to earn as many points as possible."
Adam felt a mix of fear and excitement. He considered every detail: resource allocation, building priorities, task order. Every step was calculated, and every decision would affect his rank among the 100 leaders around the world. The System would reward the top performers with bonus points and special rewards, and those who succeeded first would be the strongest in the future.
While planning, he thought about citizen recruitment strategy: which country to choose first? Who would be most beneficial? How could he ensure their loyalty? Every choice would add points and impact the growth of his economy.
And so began Adam's journey as the leader of a small island nation in the middle of the ocean. Economy, intelligence, strategy, and patience. He knew that power, army, and politics would come later, but the beginning always relied on smart planning
