Overwhelming Firepower

After he was done talking with his father, Lucen started thinking about how to make money. He had several ideas that he could do using his past life’s knowledge.

Thanks to years of gaming, anime, and a gloriously useless Bachelor of Arts degree, Lucen had more than enough odd trivia and half-useful knowledge floating in his head.

One of which was to create games. This world had only a few games. There was a single board game similar to chess, which only nobles enjoyed, and was twice as complicated compared to the chess from Lucen’s past life.

There were also a few card games and some dice games, but that was it.

The children mostly made up their own games, but there was nothing mainstream. Most of their playing was running around and exploring whatever caught their eyes. They would also do simple roleplaying, acting like a knight, a princess, and so forth. Those alone were already considered fun.

’These guys have so few games... If I were just trying to enjoy my reincarnated life peacefully, I wouldn’t last a week.’ Lucen rubbed his temple.

’Still, I guess I could try watching plays or something, but I doubt that’ll help. Wait, I’m getting sidetracked.’

Lucen decided it would be nice to create a few games similar to the ones in his past life. As a gamer, he had played quite a few games of different genres.

’If I introduce the right game, something simple yet addictive... I could sell boards. Host tournaments. Even make noble editions. I would be drowning in coin.’

Lucen, who was getting excited, rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

’So what kind of game should I make? It needs to be an easy-to-understand game. The people in this world have so little entertainment that they should be happy with something simple... Hm, what kind of game can I make with minimal resources?’
