Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The Agreement

A voice echoed from the silhouette—calm, timeless, and impossibly vast.

> "I will give you power gradually... to help you rebuild yourself in a new universe. A realm where the strong prey on the weak, and only vision and will determine survival. Complete your assigned tasks. Build great centers of hospitality across many domains. Make them thrive. Bring peace, wonder, and civilization to these wild lands."

The silhouette shifted slightly, its voice deepening.

> "If you succeed, you will not only be accomplished in this world—but your rewards will transcend time itself. You may choose to revive your lost beloved, to rebuild your lineage, or create an even greater legacy. In this world, what seems impossible is as simple as the span of a finger."

The old man—June—remained silent, staring at the being that hovered between dimensions. He had nothing left to lose… and everything to gain.

> "I will assign you a system," the voice continued. "A guide. An assistant powered by the wisdom of ancient and future civilizations. It will help you shape resorts beyond imagination. Learn. Summon. Build. Expand. Master every realm."

June slowly nodded.

The silhouette smiled faintly, muttering to itself, "Good… good…"

Reality shattered like glass.

A vortex of stars, light, and swirling energy enveloped June. For a brief moment, he felt his consciousness unravel—then re-form, sharper and stronger than before. The crack in space closed behind him, and time resumed its flow on Earth as if nothing had happened.

June awoke floating amidst the **Star Sea**, surrounded by galaxies and planetary fragments. He looked down at his hands—no longer wrinkled or frail. His limbs were firm, his muscles rejuvenated, his posture proud. He was young again.

A rush of emotion filled his chest.

"System," he called aloud.

A calm mechanical voice responded immediately within his mind.

> [System Initialization Complete.] 

> [Host: June. Status: Reincarnated.] 

> [You have been granted the Resort Development System: an AI-based support program holding the knowledge of countless civilizations.] 

> [Capabilities include: Terrain Evaluation, Blueprint Summoning, Staff Recruitment, Expansion Logic, Hospitality Rating Index, Energy Management, and Power Suppression Field Deployment.] 

June blinked, absorbing the information. The voice continued:

> [You are currently approaching a new continent within the Lower Realm. Estimated time to arrival: 10 minutes.] 

> [Recommended deployment zone: Coastal Region – Rich in Spirit Energy, Mineral Resources, and Untapped Trade Routes.] 

> [Resort Influence Radius: 1000 miles. All entities within this radius will be suppressed to the Martial Master level.] 

> [Host is recognized by system as a True Origin Point. In the Resort Domain, you are untouchable. Immortal. However, once outside, death is permanent.]

June clenched his fists.

"A thousand miles of influence… immortal in my own territory... This world has no idea what's coming."

And as the new continent loomed ahead—its jagged cliffs, lush forests, and endless coastline visible on the horizon—June's eyes burned with purpose.

This time, he would rise beyond imagination.

This time, no one would take it from him.
