Global Lord: Building a Magical God Realm from Scratch - Chapter 1

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the playground of Queen’s High School, the weather was a little hot.

The third-year students had many different expressions on their faces.

“I really don’t know what sort of Lord’s Heart I will awaken. I hope the territory’s characteristics aren’t gray!”

“Brother, be prepared for the worst. What kind of Lord’s Heart do you think poor kids like us can get?”

“I really want to participate in the ceremony as soon as possible so that I’ll know the results as early as I can. The wait is too torturous.”

On the field, a group of students was talking, eager to know what was going to happen next.

At this time, a tall and handsome man stood quietly in the crowd.

Listening to the conversation amongst the students, his face was calm.

He was not from this world. To be more precise, his soul came from a blue planet.

When he first arrived here, he was also very confused but slowly got used to it.

His past life was nothing compared to his current one. He had left behind nothing that he could miss.

Perhaps, this new life was God’s gift to him.

The name he had in this current life was Lindsay Hall.

He had not been gifted with his own system, the Midas Touch, like other transmigrators.

After sixteen years, he was still an ordinary student.

Therefore, he had some expectations for what would occur during his first awakening.

This world was one where all the people were considered ‘lords’. Every blue-star person would have the opportunity to become a Lord. After that, they would be able to enter the ‘Endless Demon Territory’ and build their own territory.

Through their own territory becoming stronger, they would obtain everything they wanted.

Power, wealth, beauties…

As long as they wanted something, they could obtain it.

The condition to become a Lord was to reach the third year of high school. This was because one’s mental strength had to reach a certain level before one could participate in this ceremony.

Through the awakening ceremony, one would be able to awaken the Lord’s Heart.

The Lord’s Heart was considered the territory’s ‘core’ and the key to being able to control it.

Therefore, obtaining a Lord’s Heart was the most crucial part.

Ordinary people were already very lucky to be able to awaken a Lord’s Heart. The probability of awakening a high-quality Lord’s Heart was very slim.

Among 10,000 people, one high-quality Lord’s Heart was already considered very good.

This was also the reason why these students were so conflicted and nervous.

A Lord’s Heart had different qualities. The key to differentiating the quality of one Lord’s Heart over the other was the territory’s characteristics.

The different characteristics of a territory determined how fast a territory would develop in the future.

However, the world was full of unknown and endless possibilities. There were countless things that could happen to a person.

It was possible that even the most trashy territory’s characteristics could rise to the top.

This was because the Endless Demon Territory was full of unknown mysteries.

It was very likely that the moment they entered, they would obtain a Supreme Treasure and be able to rise above the stars.

However, there were very few people who could obtain such luck, especially humans. One in a million was already very good.

Hence, it still depended on certain innate conditions. The higher the quality of the territorial characteristics, the better.

The different territorial characteristics would also affect the quality of the Lord’s Heart.

The Gray Lord’s Heart was of low quality.

The White Lord’s Heart was of ordinary quality.

The Green Lord’s Heart was of excellent quality.

The Purple Lord’s Heart was of exquisite quality.

The Golden Lord’s Heart was of legendary quality.

Most people would awaken low and ordinary quality Lord’s Hearts.

Unless presented with great opportunity, they would then be destined for mediocrity in life. Of course, this was also the norm for most people.

Although Queen’s High School was one of the key high schools in the city, it was still extremely rare for there to be two high-quality Lord’s Hearts in one day.

For someone to even obtain the legendary-quality Golden Lord’s heart would require a miracle.

“Silence!”

This came from a dignified voice coming from the high platform.

Although the voice was not loud, it seemed to carry some kind of special magic blessing, causing everyone present to instantly stop talking.

The owner of the voice was a middle-aged man dressed in high-level mage attire. At the moment, he was looking at the third-year high school students below the stage with a serious expression.

Lindsay, who was in deep thought, also turned his gaze to the high stage, waiting for the middle-aged man to speak.

“Today is the day that you will awaken your Lord’s Heart. It is also a major turning point in your life and the starting point of becoming a Lord. Therefore, everyone must treat the awakening seriously and listen to my arrangements carefully.

“If you awaken a high-grade Lord’s Heart, then congratulations! The next part of the process will be very smooth. However, don’t lose your faith even if you awaken a low-grade Lord’s Heart. In this Lord era, anything is possible.

“Maintain a positive attitude at all times and not fear the void monsters. If you keep at it, you will be able to stand out for yourself one day. You might not necessarily be inferior to those who hold high-grade Lord’s Hearts.”

…

This man was Queen’s High School’s principal, Belhunt.

He was the owner of a Green Lord’s Heart, so it could be said that he was quite an outstanding individual.

What he was saying now was what the teachers used to tell them in class.

However, everyone was not annoyed. Instead, they listened carefully.

It was as if there was a magical power that made people believe him.

Lindsay guessed that this was probably the work of some kind of spiritual magic that could make people believe what he said very quickly.

If he was not a transmigrator whose soul strength was slightly stronger than the average person, he would probably be extremely excited to listen as well.

As the high school’s principal, he was indeed not any sort of ordinary person. His Spiritual Magic was extremely rare.

He did not know the effect that his words had on others.

Many people were greatly encouraged by his words, the expression on their faces was not as dejected as before.

On the contrary, they were filled with anticipation for the next awakening ceremony.

As for Lindsay, he did not react at all like before.

After saying so much, it was all to make everyone feel less sad if they awakened a low-grade Lord’s Heart.

As a transmigrator, his actual age was much older than these youths.

Having this bit of resistance was really not that much.

After another two hours of speaking, the principal finally stopped.

Suddenly, his tone rose to a higher level. “Next, the awakening begins! We will go according to each student’s number, one by one.”

After that, the teacher next to him began to call out the student numbers. Once they turned in their student ID, they would then go through the awakening process.

Very quickly, most of the people present at the playground were awakened to their Lord’s Heart.

Just like the situation in previous years, most of them had only ordinary or inferior Lord’s Hearts.

Only a few of the students were of excellent quality, outstanding ones had yet to be discovered.

Suddenly, a burst of purple light erupted.

Everyone stared fixedly at the high platform. This was someone who had awakened a superior-quality Lord’s Heart!

Even Lindsay, who had been quietly thinking about his problem, raised his head and looked over.

This light came from a beautiful girl. One look at her temperament and one could tell that she was definitely from a major family.

Many people were incomparably envious when they saw the girl walk down.

An outstanding-quality Lord’s Heart. This was one in a hundred thousand.

At that point, many people would try to go up and curry favor with her.

That was just how the world worked, even in a world where anyone could become a Lord and their fate was still unknown.
