Chapter 4 Family Development, Official Mage

A few more months passed.

Erica and Hazel were both pregnant, and the castle was buzzing with excitement as everyone prepared for the arrival of the new babies.

As the city was already generating income with the influx of merchants doing business in his territory.

His excess gold point was used to buy many weird gadgets that make his life more interesting.

[Bag of Holding - A small pouch with a space rune that can hold 10 cubic meters of items without adding weight. Price 5]

[Glamourweave Dress - A magical dress that can change its color and style on command, perfect for attending formal events or blending in with a crowd. Price 1]

[Hairbrush of Tangle-Free Hair - A hairbrush that can magically untangle even the most stubborn knots, making it easy to maintain beautiful hair. Price 0.5]

[Enchanted Quill - A quill that never runs out of ink and writes with perfect penmanship, making it ideal for daily note-taking or writing letters. Price 0.1]

[Timepiece of Efficiency - A magical wristwatch that helps the wearer manage their time effectively, providing reminders and keeping track of appointments. Price 0.5]

[Alchemy Jug - A jug that can produce any non-magical liquid on command, including water, wine, oil, or honey. Price 3]

Unfortunately, the alchemy jug can only produce a limited amount of liquid, so he can't monetize it.

And liquid oil is not much used in this place, making wine more expensive. So alchemy jug was mainly for personal use.

...

Nine months passed.

As the due date approached, Maximus became increasingly nervous.

He had never been present at a birth before, and he was worried that something might go wrong.

Erica noticed his anxiety and did her best to reassure him.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine," she said.

Maximus nodded, but he couldn't shake the feeling of unease.

He spent hours pacing the halls of the castle, waiting for news of the births.

Finally, the big day arrived. Erica went into labor first, and Maximus was by her side throughout the entire ordeal.

He held her hand and whispered words of encouragement as she pushed.

After several hours of labor, Erica gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

Maximus was overjoyed as he held his daughter for the first time.

"She's perfect,"

Hazel also went into labor a few days later, and Maximus was just as nervous as he had been with Erica. But this time, he had a better idea of what to expect.

He held Hazel's hand and talked to her soothingly as she went through labor.

After several hours of intense pain, Hazel gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Maximus held his son in his arms, marveling at the tiny fingers and toes.

"Look at him, "Hazel smiled weakly and said to Maximus. "He's going to be a strong warrior, just like his father."

"Let's hope he's a little more gentle," Maximus added.

The castle was filled with laughter and joy as everyone celebrated the arrival of the new babies.

Maximus told the chef to prepare a feast, and the dining hall was filled with delicious smells and happy chatter.

As the night wore on, Maximus and his family sat together, holding their newborn.

The baby was asleep, with their little chest rising and falling with each breath.

...

Maximus sat cross-legged on the balcony, his eyes closed as he focused on his breathing.

His training has been ingrained in his daily life now, and he knew that meditation was an essential part of his practice.

It helped him clear his mind and strengthen his connection to the magical energies that surrounded him.

As he breathed in deeply, he felt the cool air fill his lungs, and as he exhaled, he released all the tension in his body.

He repeated this process, allowing himself to sink deeper and deeper into a meditative state.

Maximus could feel the magic swirling around him, like a river flowing through the air.

He reached out with his mind, seeking to connect with the energies and understand them on a deeper level.

He visualized himself standing in the middle of a vast ocean of magical power, and he was but a small island, soaking up its power.

His concentration was unbroken, and his breathing became slow and steady.

He felt the magic around him growing stronger, and he knew that he was tapping into a wellspring of power that few mages could access.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Maximus opened his eyes.

He had been meditating for hours, and he felt rejuvenated and refreshed. He stood up, feeling the power of the magic coursing through his veins.

Standing at the top of the vast expanse of his territory, He looked at his panel.

It had been more than a year since he had been transported to this fantasy world, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia washing over him.

He remembered the confusion and fear he felt when he first arrived, not knowing what to expect or how to survive in a world so different from his own.

But now, his territory is now running smoothly showing a trend of prosperity.

He sighed and turned to go back inside the castle when he heard the sound of laughter and chatter coming from the courtyard below.

Curious, he made his way down the spiral staircase and out into the courtyard.

There, he saw both of his wife and their children, Lily and Liam in the crib, playing with baby toys that Maximus had brought from the system.

They were all smiling and laughing, enjoying each other's company.

Maximus couldn't help but feel a warmth spread through his chest at the sight.

It was moments like these that made all the hardships he suffered worth it.

He walked over to join, feeling the joy and love that his family brought into his life.

As they played, Maximus couldn't help but reminisce about his old life.

He missed the convenience of technology, the ease of communication, and the familiarity of his surroundings.

But he also knew that he wouldn't trade his current life for anything.

...

1 year later.

Maximus sat in the nursery, watching his two children play, he couldn't help but marvel at how much they had grown in just one year.

Liam was now crawling around and pulling himself up to stand, while Lily was babbling and giggling as she played with her toys.

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough money to buy special potions and products to fully develop Lily and Liam so they can be full fledge children in a year.

He can only nurture them once he had enough money, making them the brightest children in the world.

However, he didn't feel much guilt as he had witnessed their growth and development from tiny, helpless newborns to active and curious infants.

It had been an interesting and adorable experience.

Lily was a strong and lively girl, always grabbing at toys and giggling with delight.

Liam, on the other hand, was more calm and reserved, often content to simply observe the world around him.

Maximus couldn't help but smile as he thought of the first time he held them.

They were so small and fragile, and he felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility to protect and provide for them.

Maximus also made sure to spend as much time with them as possible.

He would often take them on walks around the castle, pointing out the various plants and animals they encountered.

Sometimes he would even bring them into his office, letting them crawl around on the floor while he worked.

Erica and Hazel were also incredibly involved in the children's lives, doting on them and showering them with love and attention.

They would often sing songs and play games, teaching them new words and sounds.

Maximus couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as he watched his children develop.

Maximus smiled as he watched them. He couldn't wait to see what kind of people they would grow up to be.

As he sat there, lost in thought, he heard a soft knock on the door. Turning his head, he saw his wife Erica standing in the doorway, a gentle smile on her face.

"Hey," she said, walking over to him and kissing him on the cheek. "How are the kids?"

"They're wonderful," Maximus said, as Erica sat next to him. "I can't believe how much they've grown in just one year."

As they sat there, watching their children play he felt the gentle kick of his unborn child in Erica's belly, he knew that their family was only going to get bigger and stronger.

He felt that his seed became stronger requiring only a few months to produce another child.

Regardless, he couldn't wait to meet their newest addition and watch them grow, just like Lily and Liam.
