MODERN EMPIRE

Here's the expanded version:

---

[Opening starter pack..... Congratulations, host, for getting:

- 125 equipment summon tickets

- 75 low-summon tickets

- 50 mid-summon tickets

- 25 high-summon tickets

- 15 ultra-high-summon tickets

- 25 military personnel summon tickets

- 3 low-military-base tickets

- 1 special-summon ticket]

Aster's eyes widened as he gazed at the treasure trove of tickets. He felt like a kid on Christmas morning, eager to unwrap his presents. The 12 lifeless bodies nearby seemed to fade into the background as Aster's excitement took over.

"System, if I use these tickets, will it summon all of them suddenly?" Aster asked, his voice trembling with anticipation.

[No, only the categories that the host summons through the transparent screen. As for equipment summoning, it will be stored in the system inventory.]

Aster let out a sigh of relief. He didn't want to overwhelm himself with too many summons at once. He decided to use the tickets strategically, starting with the military personnel.

"System, how do I summon the military personnel?" Aster asked.

[Summoning military personnel requires a secure location and a clear understanding of the chain of command. Please designate a location for the summons and confirm the chain of command.]

Aster thought for a moment before responding. "I want to summon them here, in this 20km radius. As for the chain of command, I'll be the supreme commander."

[Confirmed. Summoning 6,250 military personnel...]

The air was electric with anticipation as Aster waited for the summons to arrive. The sound of helicopters and jets filled the air, growing louder by the second. Aster's heart pounded in his chest as he watched the horizon.

Suddenly, a swarm of helicopters descended upon the area, kicking up clouds of dust and debris. Aster shielded his eyes, waiting for the chaos to settle. When he opened them again, he was met with a sea of military personnel, all dressed in various uniforms and armed to the teeth.

"Greetings, Your Royal Highness," they said in unison, their voices echoing across the landscape.

Aster's jaw dropped as he took in the sheer scale of his new army. He saw rows of M1 Abrams tanks, lines of F-15 fighter jets, and even a few destroyers and battleships anchored off the coast.

Aster's eyes widened as he spotted a group of soldiers setting up a mobile command center. "Who's the highest in command after me?" Aster asked, still trying to wrap his head around the military structure.

A man with stars on his shoulders stepped forward, saluting. "General James Smith, Your Highness. I'm the highest-ranking officer in this unit."

Aster nodded, still feeling a bit overwhelmed. "General Smith, prepare for battle. I'll clear a 5km space around me so I can use my tablet to build the castle."

General Smith nodded, his expression serious. "Yes, Your Highness. We'll secure the perimeter and prepare for any potential threats."

As the military sprang into action, Aster took a deep breath and focused on the task at hand. He placed the lord's tablet under the soil and pressed yes to confirm the territory location.

[Confirm territory location]

A wooden castle, about two floors high, began to rise from the ground. Aster watched in awe as the castle took shape, its wooden walls and towers gleaming in the fading light.

"Oh my god," Aster whispered, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment wash over him. He had done it. He had actually built a kingdom.

But as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the landscape in a warm orange glow, Aster knew that this was only the beginning. He had a long way to go before his kingdom was secure, and he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
