Synopsis

Ian, the protagonist, is surprised to receive the title of Baron from the Lucipal Empire, a significantly higher rank than what was expected from completing the Empire Quest. This unexpected promotion not only bestows upon him new benefits such as the ability to have NPCs as servants and a noble status, but also makes him an opposing force to the Kaimon Empire. Back at his guild, the members are ecstatic that Ian's new title makes them eligible to upgrade their headquarters to a Manor, leading to a debate about roles and Ian's potential duties within the guild. The chapter also shows Ian making plans for his monsters' training.
