The Monarch's Ring

....................Two months later....................

As the situation in the city worsens I do not pay attention and concentrate on my training, finally after two months of training and fights against other gym members my combat power increased to 73.8 at this point, continuing to go to the gym became useless since neither Archibald nor Edwin could beat me despite being the strongest of the place, Archibald even told me that I should become professional since I have talent, I told him I would think about it, but I know if to do it, during the last two months the ring continued talking about the strength that I would return and the power and wealth that I would get, and I will not lie, I believe that I arouse ambition in me.

Anyway, my first goal was fulfilled, now I must start earning money, and my first target is the gang that arrived a long time ago, they already took over several bars and businesses, they even opened clandestine casinos

................................................................

Forgive for making this break now but I think it is important to explain it for those who are not informed, according to what i investigate about england the casinos are not allowed but private clubs and a kind of mini casinos are allowed, the type of casino that I am referring to is not a private club nor a mini casino, in this the gang scams the players, makes them get into debt and then extorts them, I thought it was important to say it, continue reading

................................................................

The gang is definitely making a lot of money, and if I make them my subjects, I will not only make money but also strong troops, accounts must have gone through some fights to get where they are, it is already decided, I will leave the gym and start my climb to the top. But first I need people willing to follow their own will, I do not want to be betrayed by a group of gangsters, after all, even though the ring said that by betraying me they will feel an enormous pain. I do not think that is always effective, even if it is. I do not plan to prove it. Finally who chose to follow me were Archibald and Edwin along with another three boys and a girl who attend the gym, the fighting power of these last four is behind that of Archibald and Edwin but they are quite young and have natural talent.

I decided to start with Archibald, but there is a problem and I do not know how to convince him to follow me and be my subject, I can not just go and tell him to swear allegiance, pay me taxes and fight for me, fortunately the ring gave me a solution.

{My lord, why don't you recruit him as a soldier?}

{Was not it supposed that he could only make them noble if he gave them a territory?}

{It is true my lord, but to recruit them as soldiers is not the same, the soldiers are subjects with the only benefit that like you can see the combat power of the people, this added to that both with the nobles and with the soldiers will appear a tattoo that marks them as their suditos should be proof enough of your skills}

Without having a better plan I decided to pay attention to the ring and call Archibald to speak in private when it was time to close the gym.

................................................................

After several hours with the gym already closed and with everyone having left I approached Archibald.

-hello, I have something to talk about

-Hello kid, is it about becoming a professional?

-it's not about that, finally let's go to the ring

-I know you're stronger than me, you do not need to hit me to understand

-It is important

when he saw me climbing Archibald noticed that I did not put on my boxing gloves or wear protection

-Hey, what happens is it's dangerous

-I'm not going to fight, I just want to talk

-okey...

I lied, as soon as he put one foot in the ring I launched towards him and began to attack him with a straight kick to his c.h.e.s.t, he was so surprised that he did not even react before falling to the ground and having difficulty breathing

-what *cough* the hell is wrong *cough* with you!?

-Promise loyalty

-loyalty? You're crazy!?

-do not make it harder please

................................................................

After "reasoning peacefully" with him for a while I got him to swear loyalty to me, then I turned him into a soldier and just as he said the ring appeared the tattoo and he started to see the power of battle, At the beginning he thought he was hallucinating about the injuries that he won during our "friendly talk", It took me an hour to explain to him that he is not hallucinating and the reason why I forced him to swear allegiance.

-I understand, it's crazy, but I understand...

-seriously?

-Yes, but what I do not understand is why I needed to be beaten?

-Would you have believed me if I told you directly?

-no, and why did you choose me?

-Because you are strong and everyone in the gym trusts you, I want to recruit others for good if possible and I want you to help me

-it is understood

-And from now you must pay me taxes~

-WHAT!?

I need another hour to explain about the nobles and the subjects, I look like I want to eat when I talk about the tax of 5% of what I will earn with the gym, but it calmed down when I told my plan to take the gang's business and give some of them
