After creating his first toy, Donovan received an imaginary interface. It seemed that his emperor rank was just his potential and not his real rank. 

This strange window also showed the equipment he was currently wearing and explained a little about his statistics. There were 7 basic attributes, Corporeality was the first attribute everyone began with, and since Mind and Spirit were locked, stamina had to be used to temporally power the skills one possessed.  

To unlock Mind Donovan would have to upgrade his rank to Baron, and Count to unlock Spirit. These were the first three attributes that made a human.  

For its low quality [Ninja ghost] became a craftable instantaneous skill capped a 3 of the at the same time, but after using it he was disappointed. The skill created an extremely weak and dull version of [Ninja ghost]. Without the bestowment of life, this toy only had the skill [Attachment] to be worn as a cape, but that’s it! 

Donovan was frustrated by that fact, however, he didn't have the luxury to feel like that for too long. Escaping was his priority. 

A day after meeting Charikleia, he had to work all day long in the planting with his new skills to grow plants. Sixteen hours of continuously using [Rapid crop rising] left him exhausted. Fortunately, his potential somehow improves his connection to nature, so growing tomatoes and okra was quite easy if he rested a little in between every skill use. Even after all that work, he could only take one okra pod to eat, and to eat it raw! 

When he reached his house, he wanted to sleep right away but realized that he didn’t have a mattress anymore, Creating those toys left him with a holed bed sheet.

Donovan laid on the floor and cover himself with that pitiful sheet.

After some time, he could feel the coldness of the ground and the freezing air touching his skin. He was feeling like crying, no, he might have started to cry. The memories of what happened in the last few days down on him and he suddenly felt extremely depressed. He really missed his family. 

His crying started to sound a little louder, but he suppressed it. Immediately after, the [Protector] sitting on a corner of the room stood, approached Donovan, and laid beside him. 

Donovan reacted instinctively and posed his arms around it. The ghost he was wearing as a cape also reacted and expanded itself to cover both of them together. Like that, Donovan didn't feel cold anymore, he felt comfortable even. 

The environment in the room changed, and Donovan had a quick thought, that maybe his toys and creations could become a new family.

In the room of a castle, which seemed to be a child wearing glasses and a black and red robe stood on a chair to read a book. In this room were lots of bookshelves, but even with all of them, many books were scattered on the floor or piled in mountains. 

Knock* Knock* 

A soft knocking took the child out of the immersion hi was having "come in" but after the knocking his face became full of expectations. His red eyes widen and a slight glimmer could be seen in them. 

"Your excellency!" a brawny man wearing a similar rob to the child's entered the room and kneeled. "The first group of blood masters is already in the past, we should be able to go through the portal one last time in two hours!" the brawny man spoke loudly almost yelling. 

This little boy actually started cackling like a maniac "That b#stard toy emperor is sure screwed, with this we'll be able to finally destroy his empire" This kid looked elated as no child should look like "Don't fail Amal, you are our only hope".

"I won't emperor" after that the man got up and leave the room. He went straight to a mage research area, where a 15-meter portal stood. 

"King Amal! we are almost ready, but I have to warn you, through the data collected in the first batch sent, we confirmed that your rank and level will be reset". The method these mages acquired to go back in time pointed out that league suppression could be imposed if it was too far back, and yet these people wanted to go when the universe reform itself.

"We have no choice, this mission cannot fail" he looked downhearted for a second but soon, he became resolute. "We might not be the only ones desperate for that power".

Donovan woke up refreshed looking forward to his future, after all, he had powers not everyone had. He stood up holding the protector under his left arm and the ninja on his back that simply looked like a bedsheet. 

He didn't have anything else, so he went out of his house and set off for the cultivated fields. That day he was ready to steal as much as he could without being found out. 

On the way there, people looked at him with displeased gazes. Who could blame them? he outfit was really wacky and even creepy. 

Already on the fields, Donovan started doing his job, just that this time he was more efficient growing the crops. Of course, he made sure nobody noticed the difference. 

He wanted to take at least one of each kind of vegetable the grew. That way he could grow something to eat on his journey to his family. 

In 4 hours he could hide a tomato, a carrot, and an ear of corn. The plantation was not big, they had around four plants of every kind. The underpaid botanists were enough to feed all the town with that little amount. 

"I do this every day to only receive leftovers if only I could scape" A man growing tomatoes was muttering his thoughts. 

"hey! repeat what you just said!" one of the watchmen passing by heard what he said and started walking menacingly towards him.
