I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…

A while later, Logan was told to sit on his new throne. It was placed in a throne room, accessible straight from the large entrance.

He went up the five steps that elevated his throne from the ground and sat on the throne made of polished stone and crystals. He knew it did not look as attractive as other seats made from gold and silk, but for him, it was beautiful. He appreciated the work put into it.

"Well… how do I look?" Logan asked, wondering what those standing below would say.

"I think… you need to work on it… and you might need special clothes for sitting there, to improve your image," Lisa said, sizing him up.

"Well, you also forgot one thing…" Rubina went up and took out a crown from her storage device. It was carefully crafted by Ruben, the best craftsman when it came to metals. The boy in question was also present, smiling as he saw his creation being used.

As Logan wore the crown, he felt it strengthen him somehow. He looked toward Ruben for an explanation.

"Well, you should know by now that we have… game-like abilities. So why wouldn't they also add special buffs to our equipment? My new class lets me infuse stats, as it now affects the soul of the wearer. The crown I created helps boost your intelligence stat while also improving the flow of mana and its conversion into different elements, so you can fire off spells faster and stronger. Also, it's a living armor, so it grows with you... in a way, if you keep wearing it," Ruben joyfully informed, waiting for Logan's reaction.

"That is impressive, I indeed feel the effect right away." Logan took off the crown and placed it again. He loved the effect, but what this also meant was that he would have to wear it all the time to benefit from its living ability.

"I guess we need to toast to this. Don't act like it's something normal," Alma said, having Ruri and other maids bring out juice and wine-glasses. Alma already had a band of musicians ready to play, and she began to sing.

As everyone made merry, Logan had time to look around the room. He was amazed by the many stained glass windows embedded throughout the walls, wondering if this was possible by his tamed beasts. He knew that the glass was, in reality, elemental crystals that shone with their own power.

"Say… isn't my castle just a bit too well done? I doubt my beasts could have done this," Logan asked, puzzled.

"Of course not, they did help, but the true mastermind is Bobby. That workaholic is busy working on the underground dungeon. I told him you probably wouldn't need it… but he well…" Ruben shrugged, drinking with Wayana and Irma who were chatting it up near him.

"Bobby? The hero of building? He is here?" Logan asked skeptically, wondering why so many heroes were in his town.

"Yeah, he came a few days ago. I actually asked him to come before you left to find the labyrinth. As you know, I needed heroes to wear my equipment so I could finish my quest. Luckily, with you, Ms. Claire, Lisa, Alma, Marie, Silvia, and Bobby, I finished a portion of my quest. The other part was just sending weapons to those who asked for them. As soon as they got them and you all wore them, it was completed," Ruben explained.

"I see… so that is why this place looks so refined…" Logan nodded, giving his castle another look. The smooth polished surfaces, wooden flooring, arches, and stained glass windows were indeed more than his creatures could have made.

"Ah, I did forget to tell you… You must ask Bobby for the key to this castle later. Just like my own living weapons, this place is somewhat living in nature also. Only the owner can live here, so it's something important you must do later," Ruben said before speaking with the girls again.

Logan, tired of sitting, got up to join the others. They seemed hesitant to come up due to him sitting on the throne, making him feel distant.

"So how does it feel, being a king and all that?" Lisa asked the boy as he got closer to their group.

"A bit lonely. You all didn't come near…" Logan said, acting sad.

"What do you expect? The spot looks too lavish for a commoner like me," Lisa bowed to him playfully before standing next to Logan.

Rubina didn't let this slide and also got closer.

"I know we didn't do this today… but did you perhaps have plans to have people come in and do a banquet or something, Rubina?" Logan asked, wondering why they hadn't invited anyone else to the castle.

"Well, you might have forgotten, but we have no nobles. We are just too small of a nation for that. But we have invited others once you have been officially recognized by our two surrounding nations. Don't think they will accept this warmly; they will only come to ask things of you in return. I think it will be good to gather some crystals to appease them. Maybe with enough money or crystals given out, they will even sell you land. Talk about this with Leonard later, though. We need to get the labyrinth under our control as soon as possible," Rubina suggested, getting even closer to Logan as if whispering in his ear.

Lisa's cheeks almost puffed in anger as she tried to contain herself. She patted Logan hard on his back, making him wonder why.

"So, you still have to tell us where our new rooms will be. How about we take a tour of the castle… alone," Lisa said, squinting at Logan and almost ordering him to accept.

"Sure… I don't know the area well, but I guess it will be good to see how much everything has changed," Logan replied. Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire

Alma, on the other hand, laughed at his incompetence to see how the two girls were blatantly fighting over him. She knew she had to intervene before things got ugly.

She got closer to Logan and placed her arm around his neck, pushing him forward.

"You don't mind telling me where my own room is, right, Logan? I am very tired. And seeing as two certain girls can't do something this simple… I might just have to teach them how to do things," Alma said while pulling him towards the grand staircase that would take them to the upper floors.

"Alma?" Lisa called out, chasing behind her. Rubina, on the other hand, stood there shocked, wondering why she didn't just do that earlier.
