Story sequence
Rimuru plans a Founding Festival to invite royalty, merchants, adventurers, and religious leaders into Tempest. The event is not only celebration; it is a controlled demonstration that monsters can run a safe, wealthy, rule-bound country.
Mjollmile handles finance and merchant relations, while Rigurd's administration prepares roads, lodging, food, security, and protocol. Rimuru must balance guests who are friends, cautious observers, competitors, and potential spies without making the city feel like a fortress.
Ramiris relocates her labyrinth beneath Tempest. Her authority over the floors allows configurable environments, instant transfers, and restoration of registered challengers. Veldora becomes the final guardian and energy source, turning the attraction into a strategic shelter for the population.
The dungeon is designed with treasure, monsters, floor bosses, shops, and safety systems. It generates commerce and training data while hiding Tempest's most important defenses below an entertainment business.
Motivations
- Rimuru wants foreigners to experience Tempest directly instead of judging it through hostile rumors.
- Ramiris wants a lively home and a project that makes her abilities socially valuable.
Outcome
Festival preparations create a professional event economy and the first version of the Tempest Labyrinth.
Consequences
- The labyrinth later absorbs the full force of the Eastern Empire invasion.
- Mjollmile becomes the architect of Tempest's monetary and commercial expansion.
Tempest's greatest fortress is built as a place people voluntarily enter for fun, perfectly combining Rimuru's social and strategic thinking.
