'This is surprising.' Alex thought after hearing the statement of Vampire Queen.
Alex understood that even though he was chosen as the Ruler, it was just in the title, and he needed to prove his worthiness to gain any benefits from the Malefis Domain and its inhabitants.
"Domain Ruler, My clan is willing to give you our full support but only for six months, and if you can't make satisfactory progress as a Ruler, then our stand will become the same as other clans," Bellatrix said.
'As I thought the offer was too good to be true, but even with the condition, it still provides me lucrative benefits, but the question is to what extent she is willing to support me?' Alex thought, not minding the six-month time limit.
"Queen Bellatrix, I appreciate your kindness, but I just want to know to what extent your clan is willing to support me?" Alex questioned with a smile.
"If you want my clan to conquer a human kingdom for you, then we do it and even help manage it and protect it from internal and external threats but only for six months," Bellatrix replied with a smile and vanished from the throne room.
'I wouldn't take over a kingdom even if Zero hadn't placed the restrictions on me because working toward solving the problem of Malefis Domain will already be a great challenge, so becoming the Ruler of another kingdom will only give me more problems.' Alex thought.
"Domain Ruler, I will be back in a few minutes," Varon said and vanished, leaving Alex alone.
'While Varon is gone, let's check all my gain.' Alex thought as he opened his new character window.

'What The hell?' Alex was shocked after seeing his new stats and character information.
'My class is not a Mage, as I remember it, but more importantly, what is wrong with my ridiculous stat numbers.' Alex thought.
After thinking for a moment, Alex understood that his abnormal stats were either linked to him becoming a Ruler or his newly gained Elemental physique.
Alex quickly opened the detail of his elemental physique, which gave him the answer to his abnormal stats, but even his physique was not responsible for his ridiculous intelligence states.

Name: Dark Ancient Physique.
Grade: Ancient [Growth Type]
Stage: Adolescent (???)
•①-Effects: Increase Every Stat by 200 Points.
•②-Effects: Receive twice the stat point after every Level up.
[Skills]:
•➊-[Eyes of the Ancient] Grant the user the ability to see the truth of every materialistic thing.
Description: A Magical physique that grants its holder tremendous benefits and helps him in the path of power.
✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦
'My physique is super broken, and it is still in the Adolescent stage, the weakest stage of an elemental physique.' Alex thought, shocked at the effects of his physique.
The Elemental physique gave two main benefits that make them the most desirable thing besides the high Ranking legacies for any player.
The first benefit of having a physique was that it helped its holder understand their element and advance through higher Ranks while facing less trouble.
The second benefit was the unique abilities the physique holder acquired after his elemental physique advanced to higher stages and reached its full potential.
The condition to advance physique stages required its holder to reach a certain Rank of strength, but the Rank of strength varied from person to person as every physique was different and had different Ranks and potential.
'My physique has great potential and is of the highest worldly Rank, so I wonder what kind of ridicules abilities I will acquire.' Alex thought.
'Now I know why my every stat is over two hundred, but why is my mana stat over two thousand?' Alex thought and already guessing the reason he opened his Ruler Profile.

'My mana should be related to domain connection.' Alex thought, seeing an additional option that he had no clue about.
✦✦✦✦✦✦
Name: Domain Connection
Grade: Rank Zero
•①-Effects: Increase Player Intelligence Stat By 2000 Points. [Rank Zero] [Condition to Promote: The Domain Ruler needs to satisfy certain conditions to strengthen his connection with Malefis Domain.] See More....
Description: The connection between the Domain and The Ruler.
✦✦✦✦✦✦
'Let's see the conditions to strengthen my connection with the domain and its rewards.' Alex thought as he clicked on the see more option.
'These Rank promotion conditions look more like quests, but the best thing is these astounding rewards.' Alex thought with a bright smile as the rewards were the first thing he saw on the restriction quests.
The Domain Connection or the Ruler Ranks were divided into nine stages, similar to the standard power system.
Similarly to the power system, the nine Ruler Ranks were separated into three sections, and after every three Ranks, the condition to get promoted became much more challenging.
The first three Ruler Ranks were called the [Guest Ruler], with the following three being the [Beginner Ruler], and the last three Ranks were called the [True Ruler Ranks].
'The domain is brutal as it is not giving me any chance to gain easy benefits.' Alex thought, seeing the strict restrictions.
✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

'I stupidly believed that I would only get exiled from the domain after failing a certain number of missions, but I didn't think that I would be on a timer to complete missions.' Alex thought, seeing the timer counting on all three missions, and one day was almost over without him even knowing.
Alex could only see the condition of the first three Ranks, and it was understandable as he was just a Guest ruler and needed to prove his worthiness.
'I never plan to slack off on my duties of being The Ruler, but with this timer, I have a sword hanging on my neck, ready to cut my great future.' Alex thought
'The rewards are just amazing, but I am sure the difficulty of completing these missions won't be easy.' Alex thought as he decided to stop thinking about the timer and focus more on the rewards to encourage himself.
'Let's explore the mission section before checking the shop to see if there are any more hidden surprises for me.' Alex thought.
Alex opened the mission section, and after checking all the available Ruler quests, which were less than ten, he closed it with a happy smile as there were no new surprises, and all the quests were easy to complete.
'The available missions are easy to complete, but they are probably tutorial missions.' Alex thought as he closed the mission section.
'I quickly want to check my skill gained from my physique, and I also want to check my legacy weapon, but let's first completely explore the Ruler section to save myself from any more surprises.' Alex thought as he decided to check the requirements to promote his Ruler's authority.
After a few minutes of careful reading, Alex signed in relief because even though the conditions were similar to domain connection but the good thing was there was no time restriction.
✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦
Authority Rank Promotion Conditions:
•[First Rank]
Objective: [Kill 10 Demons]
Time: ∞
Reward: 20000 Rulers Coins.
[Important note: The Demons killed will only be counted toward the mission if they are on the same Rank of strength as the Ruler.]
[Important note: If a Demon with a higher Rank of strength than the Ruler is killed, that will count as three normal Demons.] See More...
[Important note: The Ruler will receive a certain number of Rulers Coins after every Demon he kills, and the number of coins will depend on the difficulty of killing the Demon.]
✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦
The second and third promotion quest only had 20 and 40 demons to kill as their objective, and the reward for the first two quests were only Rulers coins, while the third quest also had an unknown reward.
'I wonder if the Rulers shop has any treasure that could tell me the location of nearby demons.' Alex thought as he opened the Ruler shop.
