It was 9:30pm when Drake went back to his Ark Dimension and rest for a moment. Before he left, he gave ten random demons a all mighty farming tool and showed them pictures of what he wanted them to plant, he also explained how the tool work and they expressed their gratitude for his trust. Of course if they didn't use the farming tool as intended, he would confiscate them back.
He intended to plant beautiful flowers and cherry blossom trees. With the all mighty farming tool's capabilities, they would all be ready in a few days.
Now the only thing Drake needed was workers. The greenhouses would be managed by his subordinate demons since they used ark inventory. But the oil pumps could be handled by normal people and he only needed them to connect the oil pumps' hoses with the oil trucks to fill them up.
An easy job.
So he had Helena post the job description and benefits so that people could get motivated to move to his desert. He offered free housing and three meals a day, plus a generous salary.
Drake didn't know it yet but unwilling he would build a small city named after his company in the entrance of his desert as many people started to move there when they noticed the amount of work he made available there.
Right now, many people were discussing the desert where an oil company had been build. The news were the first to get wind of it and send people to investigate the next day.
Drake didn't care about the people who won't be sleeping today because of him and decided to visit his other Ark map, Ragnarok. He was accompanied by his demon girls and of course Diablo who was still wearing a maid outfit looking very sexy.
When they arrived at the green obelisk of Ragnarok. Only a few demons were still exploring this map since they had found the necessary materials for the boss fight a long time ago and many had returned to the Center map.
Drake didn't hesitate and activated the boss fight.
They arrived at a forest with many altars built everywhere. This boss fight included an alpha dragon and an alpha manticore which were ten times bigger and lethal than the game.
Drake summoned his strongest shadows and thanks to being immortal they were not poisoned or burned to death and slowly ground the two bosses' health bar.
The fight only lasted for 30 minutes and after 20 minutes of combined effort they finally managed to kill the bosses. Drake just sighed at the amount of health the bosses had. He wondered if the shadows inherent the same health bar.
The two new shadows were very powerful, the dragon's fire was very strong and the manticore's poison could knock out anything with a few stings. They also asked for names which Drake made up on a whim and made them happy.
After returning to Ragnarok, Drake was given the alpha trophies along with flags representing the Dragon and the Manticore. He didn't hesitate and handed the trophies to Helena, who managed to unlock a new map after consuming them.
The next map unlocked was the main quest map of The Island. In the game people had to fight the overseer to ascend to an alpha and would upgrade his specimen implant granting 15 new levels.
Although Drake would only fight the overseer because that's the trophy he needed to unlock the next map. He didn't even know the overseer had a trophy.
Drake again summoned his demons and teleported to The Island to help him build a base and find the material for the boss, the demons were now experts at this and didn't need much instructions anymore. Some demons even had dino mounts and used cryopods to carry them around. Drake felt nostalgic seeing them enjoy the game.

It was 10:20 pm when Drake finally sat at his couch to rest and watched tv with his family. The demon girls sat with him on a couch and they watched one of the many dramas Helena had recorded on the televisions. Apparently, ancient Korean drama were her favorites.
After one hour, Drake headed to bed followed by the girls, who after being scolded by their mother in law all day, finally placed silent magic circles on the room so they could have fun without bothering the rest.
Although the castle was silent, some things just can be unheard. They knew what was happening in the room and made some feel awkward.

The next day.
Drake woke up early as usual and took a bath. He was awake all night but still felt refreshed and rested for the day ahead.
During breakfast, Drake asked his mother when was his grandmother arriving.
"Friday. She said all the flights were booked and only managed to get a ticket for Friday, she will arrive around 6:00 pm, so make sure you can go pick her up at the airport."
"I understand."
After that, Drake, his aunt and Esprit headed to school like yesterday.
He was again bothered by overly enthusiastic girls trying to invite him on a date. But he would politely refuse. He was quite happy with his demonesses and was starting to develop romantic feelings for them.
After school, Drake when to his office building again to check how things were progressing.
Helena had informed him that he had some job interviews for today. Many called interested in the benefits he provided and the generous pay. Since Drake didn't lose money and would only have income. He was very generous with his employees pay and the benefits he offered.
Helena was tactful enough to create everything for him, all the documentation and contracts were ready, all he needed to do was sign his name and his employees' signature.
Helena even created rules the employees had to follow and confidentiality agreements. Since they would notice abnormal things in the building, like the tek walls and doors. He didn't care where it got viral or not but at least he wanted to keep it for himself.
When Drake arrived at the servers' room, the three AIs saluted him with cute voices which made Drake smiled.
The first to report was Echo and her report was that she had already created hundreds of trailers for the most famous online novels and she had already contacted the writers and many were going over the contracts.
Drake was very generous on his contracts and he divided the profits 50-50 after all the expenses were subtracted. Since only the AI was responsible of creating, he had to find voice actors, otherwise he would have to use AI for the voices too.
The writers didn't have to invest in anything and at most could only communicate with Echo to illustrate what he had in mind for the scenes. Just by looking at some of the trailers she had made, Drake felt great expectation for the finished product.
The writers didn't even realize they were talking to an AI and thought they were talking with someone in charge of design. Echo would even ask them which voice they wanted for each character, or if they had more suggestions.
Echo was working in hundreds of novels and even the cartoons and anime that Drake had suggested. Her margin of error so far was of zero percent.
The next report was from Nyx, who reported that the app in which they would stream all the programs they made was ready along with the ChatGPT app that Palma would be managing. Many games were ready as well and she was just waiting for Drake to review them before sending them for the official review before publishing them.
Drake patiently tried all the apps that were ready and after giving her the go ahead, she send them all for review. Drake also played the games she had created and he must admit that only by his small suggestions as guidance, she created pretty solid games. After helping her add more content and explaining more functions, Nyx worked instantly in fixing everything he told her and adding everything he suggested.
After Drake felt satisfied, he gave her the go ahead and send for review the games he asked her to create. Which were classic games like The Last of Us, God of War, Red Dead Redemption, and the legendary PUBG. Of course, he wouldn't release all of them at once, he would release them once he made sold enough copies for each. The first one was The Last of Us.
Palma had nothing to report yet since her app was still being reviewed. But she had help the other two on their work and even had the promotion of her app ready once the app was published.
