[You Gained the ’The Commander of Heaven’ Acheivement]

[You Gained 3,000 achievement Points]

Kisha was abruptly awakened by the system notification early in the morning, just two days before the deadline for the wall’s expansion and reinforcement.

She lay there, staring at the ceiling of the tent, as her mind tried to process the unexpected news.

How had she completed the A-class mission "Commander of a Thousand" when there were still seven days left before the deadline?

It took her a moment to fully absorb the reality of it, her thoughts racing as she tried to make sense of it all.

"Host! You’re mixing things up!" 008 interjected, its voice tinged with urgency.

"The deadline for the ’Commander of a Thousand’ mission is also ending in two days, coinciding with the base wall’s construction. Gosh, how are you going to manage without me?"

It made sure to correct Kisha, testing her focus as it could tell her mind was still in a fog from just waking up.

"Oh," Kisha replied flatly, her lackluster response immediately deflating 008’s excitement. With a metaphorical sigh, the system retreated to the depths of her mind, sulking over her indifference.

It was only after 008’s reminder that Kisha opened the mission tab to double-check.

Sure enough, 008 was right—the mission "Commander of a Thousand" had started five days before the wall’s expansion and fortification.

The mission requirement listed a 15-day duration, which explained why she had mixed it up. Without 008’s timely intervention, she might not have noticed the discrepancy.

"Glad you figured it out," 008 quipped with a hint of sass before retreating into the depths of Kisha’s mind.

"Alright, thank you, 008," Kisha murmured, her tone a mix of gratitude and amusement.

She shifted slightly, careful not to disturb Duke, who was still sound asleep beside her.

His left arm served as her pillow, while his other hand rested protectively on her stomach, occasionally rubbing it in his sleep as if to shield her from the chill of the night.

A soft smile tugged at Kisha’s lips at his unconscious gesture of care. Gently, she turned her focus to the new title she had earned, opening the system interface to examine it.

...

[Title: Commander of a Thousand]

[Description: It was a title worthy of someone who had led five hundred elite warriors—individuals considered the finest in the nation and the cornerstone of its future strength.

These warriors were not only formidable on the battlefield but also exceptional in defense, boasting a balanced skill set honed through training with the most distinguished fighters in the land.

Grade: EX

Leadership: +250

Mental Capacity: +250

Charm: +100

Luck: +20

Active Skill: Lion’s Roar

Passive Skill: People’s Heart]

...

Then there was the matter of her growing list of achievements.

Ever since her luck stat had emerged, Kisha felt like she was racking up achievement points and milestones at an unprecedented rate.

She wasn’t complaining—far from it. This newfound streak of success was something she had only begun experiencing in this life, and it left her feeling both exhilarated and empowered.

...

[The Commander of Heaven Acheivement]

[Description: The title Commander of Heaven is bestowed upon a leader who possesses the unique ability to win the unwavering loyalty and admiration of warriors, achieving not just the required recruitment quota but doubling it effortlessly.

Such a commander doesn’t just lead—they inspire, earning the respect and devotion of their followers through unparalleled strategy, strength, and charisma.

The *Commander of Heaven* stands as a revered figure, embodying divine-like leadership akin to the legendary God of War, *Kratos*.

Grade: EX

Additional 20 in all stats

+30% Increase in Warrior Affinity

+30% Boost to Warrior Growth

+30% Bonus to Experience Gain

+30% Increased Chance of Talent and Gift Awakening ]

...

Everything Kisha read made her heart soar with excitement. She rubbed her eyes a few times, almost unable to believe the incredible effects she was seeing.

A 30% increase in EXP gain, combined with the benefits of Scarlet Honey—what could possibly stop her army from becoming unstoppable strong?

The thought filled her with a sense of invincibility.

The additional 30% chance of awakening talents and gifts felt like an extraordinary advantage, especially since such awakenings were rare.

Typically, talents and gifts were sealed at the initial awakening, making this new perk a game-changer for her forces and giving them a chance to awaken a gift and talent even after their awakened abilities have already manifested were never heard before.

She then checked the skills associated with the title she had just gained.

...

[Active Skill: Lion’s Roar]

[Description: A war cry that boosts the morale of all warriors serving under you, with no limit to the number it can affect. As their morale rises, their healing speed, stamina recovery, and spiritual rejuvenation increase by 30% to 50%. Effective for 20 minutes CD: 3 hours

Grade: EX]

...

[Passive Skill: People’s Heart]

[Description: The more people believe in and respect you, the faster your spiritual energy—and any other energy you utilize—recovers, potentially granting an infinite supply.

However, if their trust turns to hatred and disdain, your energies will be sealed.

It’s a double-edged sword, where only the hearts of the people will determine how you can harness its power.

Grade: EX(Evolvable)]

...

’How am I supposed to use this Lion’s Roar? Do I actually need to roar like a lion?’ Kisha thought, a dark line forming on her forehead as the idea sent an embarrassing shiver down her spine. She really hoped she wouldn’t have to use such a skill.

[Please set Skil: Lion’s Roar activation command]

As if reading her thoughts, the system sent her a prompt, and Kisha couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

While she had been dreading the idea of embarrassing herself, the skill’s potential was too valuable to overlook.

Now that the system offered a way to use it without the awkwardness, she felt much more optimistic.

"For the activation command, how about ’Let’s Get Them!’"

[Do you want to set ’Let’s Get Them!’ as the activation command?]

[YES] or [NO]

After Kisha clicked "Yes" with a smile, Duke stirred beside her, a chuckle escaping his lips.

Seeing Kisha in such a good mood so early in the morning made him smile too.

His eyes, still heavy with sleep, blinked lazily as he turned to gaze at her. "What’s got you so happy this early?"

"I’m happy because the base is slowly coming together, and the warriors you’ve trained are getting stronger, ready to leave the nest," Kisha said with a chuckle.

She figured that the completion of the mission was likely tied to the fact that most of the warriors in the defense force had awakened their abilities.

This made their base home to an unprecedented number of awakened ability users across various classifications.

More than that, the warriors had mostly reached level 1, with some even reaching level 2.

She suspected this was why the system considered the mission complete—her warriors were now strong enough to fight on their own, without her or Duke’s guidance.

Why shouldn’t she be happy? Her breakfast had turned into earning a title, an achievement, and two new skills, all accompanied by a massive boost in stats.
