Chapter 8 by Sir Tom Sir Tom

Does Fame make a man think things over?

It makes a man work things out

Oh my, that's a lot of notifications...

So Total thats ..... 150. Even without frame of reference that seems like a good start, even if the vengeful quest seems a bit worrying. Now what do you spend it on and a menu appears


Evolve Form: 500 Fame, must be level 10 at least

Draconic Liegelord 0/10 (Racial ability): 10 Fame
Daemonic Liegelord: 0/10 (Racial Ability): 10 fame
Fire Lord (Lesser): 0/5 ( Result of Mixed Heritage): 10 fame
Lust Lord 0/10 (Racial ability): 10 Fame
Nobility 0/1 (Heritage): 10 Fame

The system seemed to process something for a second

Ability Overlord unlocked - Due to your Multiple Affinities, Overlord has been unlocked. With Overlord you will increase your sway over other creatures for every affinity you share with them. You will still gain sway for every level you increase on any of the affinities you share with the other creature. For example, if a creature has both Draconic and Noble and you had 2 levels of Draconic Liegelord and 1 level of Nobility it will be swayed as if 3 levels were effecting it. It will also allow a lesser percentage of your total levels to affect creatures that do not share an affinity with you.

Summon Minion (50 fame, 0/5 used)
Summons a minion which cannot leave your claimed land. Summoned minions will respawn some time after being destroyed, or can be brought back instantly for a minor fee.
Select Minion Type
Builder: Helps construct structures you order to be built.
Guard: Defends your lair against invaders.
[Additional options unlock at higher overlord level]


The number of new options overwhelm you as you scroll through them, passing Elemental Summons, Magical Building Features, and more. Really, most of these options helped you choose what kind of net you wanted to cast for catching potential minions. The thought of minions excites you, but brought yourself again to focus. You think on your new name, and decide that a wide net seemed fitting, for a variety of minions. You purchase a single level in Draconic Liegelord and discover just in time that the price for a new level is double the previous. This calls for some new calculation; you ponder for a minute as Claire not-so-discreetly checks you out. You purchase a single level in Daemonic Liegelord and the price for a new level doubles again. Seems like a safe assumption it will do that for all the affinities, then. Given the... frankly stupendous effects of Overlord you then purchase a level in Fire Lord (Lesser), Lust Lord, and Nobility. You pause... with 100 fame left you could purchase at most 1 more level in each except for nobility which had a cap for some reason. Or... perhaps a few minions could be of use. Very few NPCs are skilled in general labor; minions with some combat skills were more common. So having the option to choose Builder type minions could be a useful opportunity. If you tried to make active recruiting a priority... having some builders that would work when you were away and could at least keep a basic eye on things could pay off. Especially if you took the remaining crystals with you, the potential damage could be minimized. After informing Claire that some creatures might be about to appear, you then purchased two workers and waited.
They did appear, crawling up through the ground, looking roughly like a kobold in shape and with red scales, but their eyes appeared to have little flames in them. They had small wings that looked like a cross between draconic and demonic. They also spawned with basic stone pick axes, and some black pants. "Well, that's the fame dealt with for now," you think as you hear the ding of notifications coming from you character sheet.

What's next?
