Reincarnated with the Country System

Versailles Palace

An emergency meeting was held in the Versailles Palace. The Empire Hall and the Cabinet office were badly damaged by the monster attack. So the meeting was held in the palace.

Prime Minister Elizabeth was the first to speak, her voice clipped, professional. "Your Majesty, the preliminary reports are in." She tapped a datapad, and the central holoprojector flared to life, displaying a rotating model of Rafa—or what was left of it. Entire districts were outlined in crimson, marked DESTROYED or UNINHABITABLE.

Alberto's jaw tightened. "Numbers."

Elizabeth didn't flinch. "Civilian casualties: 34,872 confirmed dead. 89,000 wounded. 120,000 displaced. Infrastructure damage: 60% of the city's central districts are in ruins. The Stormbreaker's counterattack saved lives but also… contributed to the destruction. Also, 55% of New Belly has been destroyed."

A pause.

"Military losses are extremely severe. 3,000 soldiers dead. 15,000 wounded. Two full squads of Exo-Knights destroyed. In addition, we lost 567 ISSD members and 67 Super soldiers in the Imperial Black site incident."

Chancellor of the Treasury Thompson cleared his throat, adjusting his spectacles. "Financially, this is… unsustainable. Initial repair estimates put the cost at 120 billion Alber for Rafa alone. That's not including the military replenishment, medical aid, or refugee resettlement."

Business and Trade Minister David Peterson exhaled through his nose. "The stock markets are in freefall. Trade routes are paralyzed. If we don't stabilize this within the week, we're looking at an economic collapse."

Health Minister Emily Ward spoke next, her voice strained. "Hospitals are overwhelmed. We're out of beds, out of supplies. The wounded are being treated in the streets. And that's not even accounting for the… unnatural injuries."

Magic, Science & Technology Minister Alaric steepled his fingers. "The creatures' blood has mutagenic properties. We're seeing early-stage cellular corruption in some of the wounded. If this spreads—"

"It won't," Alberto interrupted. "Quarantine the affected. Burn the corpses. No exceptions."

Emily opened her mouth, then closed it, nodding stiffly.

Chief of Police Commissioner Roberts rubbed his temples. "Law enforcement is stretched thin. We lost 2,300 officers in the attacks. The rest are working triple shifts. Riots are breaking out in the outer districts—people are scared, and scared people are dangerous."

Home Affairs Minister Daniel Martinez grimaced. "We need to impose stricter curfews. Martial law, if necessary."

Justice Minister Olivia Roberts shook her head. "Martial law will only incite more panic. We need transparency. Controlled updates. Reassurance."

Daniel scoffed. "Reassurance? Half the city is gone."

"Which is why we can't let the other half burn itself down," Olivia countered.

Alberto raised his hand and said. "You guys calm down. I will determine which is the best decision. I know what to do"

Then Alberto paused for a moment and said, "I will rebuild the city through the system. However, we don't have enough SC to rebuild two cities at once. So I will only rebuild Rafa, since it is our capital and we can't leave it in ruins for long. And New Belly will be repaired manually."

"But Your Majesty, we will still need more resources in the future. We need to strengthen our defenses so that such an incident does not happen again in the future."

"You are right, we will use the resources of our vassal countries and colonies for this. Increase the exploration of natural resources in the colonies. Also increase taxes. If they rebel, crush them,"

Alberto said.

No one dared to say anything against it.

♦♦♦

After Alberto finishes the meeting, he opens the system to re build the city.

After the system update, he now has many options. Also, he no longer has to select everything manually. The system's AI automatically selects everything for him.

Alberto selected YES without hesitation.

⚡ SYSTEM ACTIVATION ⚡

The moment he confirmed, the world outside shifted.

A low, resonant hum pulsed through the air, vibrating the palace windows. Across the ruined skyline of Rafa, massive nano-constructors materialized—floating, geometric platforms of shimmering alloy, their surfaces alive with crawling blue energy.

"Deploying Nano-Fabrication Drones."

From the constructors, swarms of microscopic builders poured forth like metallic locusts, descending upon the wreckage. They moved with eerie precision, disassembling rubble atom by atom, sorting materials, reforging steel, and weaving new structures into existence at an impossible speed.

But this time, the System didn't just rebuild the city—it rebuilt its people.

[CIVILIAN RECOVERY INITIATED]

1. [Resurrection Protocol] – Revive the dead (Cost: 50,000 SC per soul | Limited to recent, intact casualties)

3. [Summoning] – Generate new citizens (Cost: 10,000 SC per person | Pre-programmed loyalty)

Alberto's eyes narrowed.

Resurrection was tempting. But the System had limits—only those who died within the last 24 hours with mostly intact bodies could be brought back. And even then, their minds might not be… perfect.

No. He needed stability.

He selected:

[Mass Healing] – Priority: Emergency & Military Personnel

Alberto smirked. "It's the Power of system."

But even as the city resurrected itself, the real challenge remained.

Defense.

The monsters had broken through once. They would not do so again.

Alberto opened the Military Upgrade Panel.

Confirm Purchase? [YES]

The moment he accepted, the sky above Rafa rippled.

Giant, hexagonal shield modules unfolded like petals, locking together in an iridescent dome. The Hyperion turrets sprouted from rooftops, their barrels humming with charged energy. And deep beneath the streets, Void Anchors pulsed, sealing the city from dimensional intrusion.

Rafa was no longer vulnerable.

It was now a fortress.

[REMAINING FUNDS: 207,089,094 SC]

The Empire would rise again.

Stronger.
