In the days that followed I had a lot to do, Ivan kept pulling me into administrative problems saying it was my responsibility.
I didn't want to solve so many things but Ivan kept saying it was better to do it now while there are still few people in town, the way he talks makes it seem like more people are going to join, this scares me as I don't want more people to join. gather.
Ivan said that we should at least organize city policies and some ground rules for everyone to live together.
After what Ivan and I discussed for an entire afternoon, I ended up committing to seriously thinking about things that can help the city sustain itself for a long time, for generations.
I always forget that I am a Vampire now, at least I think I can still be considered a Vampire, that means my life expectancy is immortal, if nobody kills me I will never age or die.
Because of this, I would like to think of policies that will not only allow these people who are living in the City of Shadows now but also allow future generations of descendants of these people to live in harmony.
Ivan managed to convince me like this, he is not wrong in saying that it will be easier to do this now.
I spent the next few days seriously thinking about this despite all the problems we were still encountering during our trip.
After thinking so much about it, I came up with some rules that I would like to keep to promote the combat capability of the entire city, I also thought of rules that help in the administration of the city.
Policies:
1. Morning training will continue, people from all over the city are encouraged to participate, but they are not obligated, this helps in the interaction between people and strengthens the city as a whole.
2. Hunting for sexual partners will also continue, in addition to serving as training to track, hunt, spy, and ambush, it is also useful for races to interact more, women are allowed to hunt while men must conquer their targets, this should solve many problems, but it also has rules for the types of targets allowed.
3. I made a mistake creating a family tree for all the townspeople starting from now on, the record will stay in the library.
4. I also decided to call out an Adventurer's Guild, Trader's Guild, Alchemist's Guild, and Mage's Guild to help everyone, but that will be on hold until I find out how I'm going to do it.
5. I also thought about registering for each person, registers where their jobs, ages, names, appearances, residence, and achievements will be registered to know more about each person, as people of this world don't usually have a family name if it's not a noble, this record and the family tree used the blood of each one that is unique.
6. There will also be a school that is already under construction where people will be able to learn Languages, Mathematics, Magic, and General Knowledge.
7. I have decided that the economy will fall if it is based only on global currencies that are accepted all over the world.
So far I've only thought of these things, some of which I've adapted from the politics of my old world, we can add more if needed later.
I also put in some laws about killing, stealing, or mistreating the people of the Shadow City, these laws are a kind of standard for any kind of society whether in my ancient world or this one, so I put them in from the beginning.
Of course, I made the common language the default and mandatory for everyone to learn, this allows everyone to be able to socialize here and in any other city in the world.
I presented everything I could think of to Ivan, Vanessa, Sapphire, and Nira to see if I forgot anything or make any suggestions, the opinion that was most important would be that of Ivan who was a Prince in the past and was already acclaimed exactly for his prowess in civil affairs.
Nira and Ivan were happy with the things I decided, Ivan said that civil records and the family tree would be impossible to do normally, so only noble would go through this, but Vanessa said that my idea of using blood instead of a name family would be even better, she even said she could help with that.
Everyone seemed to like what was proposed, so I left them talking about other things and ran away from the Dungeon and went fishing on the ship.
But as soon as I leave the ship I see a wave of tens of meters falling on the ship, luckily the defenses were up, so there were no problems.
I wanted to fish, but with a manager like that it's difficult, while trying to think about what to do with my free time, I decided to go to the town where Nolan plays his card games.
I spent the rest of the day playing cards, but I only managed to win half the time, I thought Nolan was cheating, but I didn't see anything and I had no evidence I could only accept that it was my loss for more than one reason.
----------
Our next days of travel were long and unpleasant, at least for me as I wasn't able to fish, see the starry sky, and had to fight an almost infinite number of monsters.
I wish I had had a smooth trip across the ocean like I always saw in the movies, but the always bad weather and the constant onslaught of monsters made this a bumpy ride at best.
The bad weather I talk about was always something I saw in different apocalyptic movies, every time I see these things I wonder how people manage to survive in such an aggressive and dangerous world, but then I remember that there is magic, levels, and abilities in this world that help people get strong enough to do so.
The monsters that have been attacking us since we arrived in the open sea have been thousands of SS Grade or higher monsters, plus we have seen more Lower Catastrophe Grade monsters, luckily they seem to have a bit more intelligence and didn't attack the ship on sighting me, Karina, Orion, Ragnar and Nix.
From what Lilian told us, at this level of strength monsters, even the dumbest ones, start to develop some kind of intelligence, but that doesn't mean their murderous instincts have diminished.
These monsters are just choosing their prey not to run straight into enemies they are not able to defeat, they are just following their survival instincts.
