Chapter 51 - Unwanted attention

"Is the family satisfied with this one?" Adam asked, ready to teleport to another location if needed. Everyone was overjoyed, accepting the magnificent mansion without a second thought. Albert, his father, immediately envisioned his new lab, while Helena, his mother, dreamed of sprawling gardens. The twins, Alyssa and Alynna, simply wanted their own rooms and to revel in their new life.

"Since we've agreed, let's go inside and get comfortable," Adam said. He then teleported to the real estate office to finalize the purchase. Back at their old house, he quickly stored everything in his dimension.

He fully paid off the old house's loan and instructed the real estate agent to sell it cheaper to a family in need. Then, he was back at the mansion, effortlessly unloading their belongings and new purchases.

A Magical Wonderland

"Lyra, with my elements, can I create things?" Adam asked, eager to put his new powers to use beyond combat. Lyra, accessing ancient texts, confirmed he could learn creation magic. With Lyra's guidance on structural integrity, Adam set his sights on building a waterpark, a sauna, and a jacuzzi right behind his new home.

He led his family outside, and with a flourish of his magic, a spectacular waterpark materialized before their astonished eyes. Next, a charming sauna house rose from the ground. Albert and Helena were overjoyed, thrilled to enjoy amenities they'd had in their past lives.

"Is there anything else you want me to build?" Adam asked. His father, thinking of his work, requested a small potion research lab. Adam manifested a fully equipped lab right next to the mansion. His mother, envisioning a tranquil retreat, asked for an amazing garden with swings and a park-like area. Lyra opened ancient books on life and plantation growth, and Adam began creating a magnificent garden, complete with swings and a playground, even more beautiful than Helena had imagined.

An Unforeseen Problem

However, Adam's grand magical display hadn't gone unnoticed. People from the kingdom, seeing the sudden appearance of a towering waterpark, swarmed the mansion's gates. News spread like wildfire, reaching children, nobles, and even the royalty. Adam realized he might have overdone it.

To manage the crowds, he quickly created a secure, separate pathway leading directly to the waterpark and allowed the people to enter. As they rushed in, eager to experience the marvels, Adam explained, "I'm an inventor, and I created these by my inventions. You're welcome to try them!"

People dashed off to retrieve their beachwear, eagerly plunging into the waterpark. Alyssa and Alynna instantly became celebrities among the children, proudly boasting about their brother's creation. They begged Adam to let them play there as much as they wanted. Adam smiled and nodded. "Of course!" Alynna shouted. "But remember to keep the place clean, or you'll be banned!" Alyssa added sternly, and all the children nodded in agreement.

Albert and Helena, meanwhile, enjoyed the sauna, helping explain the rules to the eager crowds. People lined up, praising Adam's generosity. The commotion eventually drew the attention of the King and Queen, who swiftly arrived with their retinues, dispersing the crowds to demand an audience with the mansion's owner.

The royal guards surrounded the gate, forcing the crowds to disperse. Adam and his family bowed as the King and Queen entered. "Rise," the King commanded, leading them into a private room while the nobles remained in the living area. Adam had just created an unforeseen problem for himself.
