Happy reading~!!
***At that moment, Sir Michael stepped forward, saluting Kazuki with respect."Yo, Kazuki! As a loyal knight, I want to express my gratitude for your efforts in protecting Princess Olivia. Emperor Elric also acknowledges your bravery and loyalty. You have proven yourself as someone trustworthy," said Sir Michael with utmost respect.Kazuki felt waves of happiness and honor coursing through every fiber of his being as he received recognition from Sir Michael, a loyal and respected knight in the Empire."Of course, Sir Michael. I am glad to hear that," Kazuki replied, bowing his head.Despite their previous battle and near attempt to kill each other, Sir Michael's demeanor suddenly changed, and Kazuki had to adapt to the flow of the conversation.If you're wondering why, the true reason lies in the trust others placed in him.He understood the immense value of that trust and, with strong determination, promised to continue striving to be deserving of it. Trust is not something easily ob
Silence~ The moments of tension felt heavy in the air as the question hung, allowing Kazuki time to contemplate his answer. Kazuki's heart fluttered as he pondered his feelings for Livy. He had long held a growing love within his heart, and now the opportune moment had arrived to reveal it. '...This is the moment of reckoning...' Kazuki chose to remain silent momentarily, allowing his sincerity to permeate the words he would utter. Finally, with a resolute voice, he responded, "Yes, Emperor Elric. I love Livy with all my soul and being. Every second we have spent together has strengthened the bond of our love. I am willing to shoulder the full responsibility of safeguarding and honoring our relationship." He took a deep breath... Upon hearing Kazuki's answer, Elric exhaled deeply, as if liberating himself from a burden he had carried. Relief appeared on his face, yet he continued to emanate the wisdom and caution inherent in a leader. Then, with seriousness, Elric conveyed his de
*** The four of them entered the meeting room, filled with silence. The attending nobles sat with a submissive posture, avoiding eye contact. However, as Kazuki, Elric, Livy, and Helena took their seats, the tension in the room grew even stronger. Their eyes were filled with unspoken curiosity. Kazuki, standing in the center of the room, took a deep breath for a moment. Then, in a calm yet audible voice, he urged the nobles to lift their heads and look towards him. "Hey, all of you, don't just bow your heads, lift them up-!!" Lifting their heads... "...!!!" As if listening to a magical voice, the nobles were surprised. However, the surprise was not caused by Kazuki's presence, but by Elric standing tall behind him. Nevertheless, they did not express their reactions directly. Before starting this important discussion, Kazuki felt the need to get to know the attending nobles better. With a polite and respectful demeanor, he asked each of them, one by one, to introduce themselves,
Elric, who had been observing the conversation, was surprised to hear the question directed at him. His mind briefly wandered to find the right answer. "Honestly, Kazuki, I wasn't heavily involved in political affairs before. I used to have more fun and entrusted political matters to the ministers under me. However, I now realize that such an attitude is not enough. This Empire is sinking further, and I feel responsible for this state of affairs." He realized that he rarely engaged in political affairs. As a leader, he had often prioritized having fun and left political matters to the ministers under him. However, he now felt responsible for the worsening state of the Empire. Kazuki looked at him seriously. "So, you feel a responsibility to directly involve yourself in fixing the Empire?" Elric nodded. "Yes, Kazuki. I realize that as a leader, I cannot rely solely on others to solve problems. I have to take responsibility and be directly involved in our efforts to improve governance
At that moment, the atmosphere suddenly turned quiet, and all eyes turned towards Princess Olivia. Kazuki, also taken aback by her statement, asked Livy, "Why do you refuse? Isn't this what you wanted?" She provided her reason, "I refuse to become the successor to the throne. I have experienced deep heartache and trauma due to the betrayal that occurred within my surroundings. Living under immense pressure and responsibility, being a shield for those who play in the realm of politics, has made me sickened." Livy articulated her reasons for refusal with courage and determination. She had felt profound heartache and trauma due to the betrayal committed by some of her followers. The weight of life's burdens, coupled with the feeling of being a tool for those who dabble in politics, had made her weary and unwilling to continue on as the heir to the throne. As she voiced her words, her gaze was filled with cynicism, indicating immense disappointment and displeasure. The attendees in the
"Ughhh..." The betrayers listened to Kazuki's words with bowed heads, losing their confidence to argue with this relentless man. They realized that Kazuki had found a loophole in their actions, and they were trapped in agonizing confusion. Instantly, the room's atmosphere grew even tenser. Every noble present felt fear and awe at the power of Kazuki's arguments. Those who once dismissed the betrayal committed by their fellow nobles now fell into a silent submission. Their eyes traversed the room, searching for support and justification for their actions. However, all they encountered were Kazuki's unwavering, cold, and sharp gaze. His gaze indicated that Kazuki would not relent and was prepared to face the consequences of their betrayal. In the increasingly heavy silence, each traitor contemplated in deep confusion. They realized that the reasons they provided for their betrayal might only be flimsy fabric covering their dishonesty. Each betrayer felt an unbearable moral burden on
Then, Leon added, "One of the Generals from the Military Faction was previously killed by you in the middle of the square, Lord. There were indeed several representatives from the Military Faction, but only one was with us, while the rest were guarding Princess Olivia, Lord." "I understand..." After Kazuki seemed to 'ponder' on it for a while, stroking his chin, he then looked at them all and decided, "Very well, I have made my decision. Since you were not the ones intending to kill Princess Olivia, I will spare your lives, but I will still impose upon you other punishments that you deserve." When the nobles heard that they had been spared from death, they breathed a sigh of relief, but they still couldn't fully breathe easy when they heard the word 'punishment' directed at them. Then, Kazuki stated that Livy would be the one to administer the punishment, but Livy gave him full authority to judge them. Kazuki then looked at Elric, who simply gave his approval. However, Kazuki firm
*** After the meeting with the nobles ended, Kazuki and Prince Harry moved to a soundproof room where only they were present. In a more intimate atmosphere, Kazuki asked Prince Harry what he wanted to discuss. Without beating around the bush, Prince Harry immediately asked the fundamental question, "Are you from Earth?" The question caught Kazuki off guard, momentarily freezing his casual smile. Kazuki stared seriously at Prince Harry. After a brief silence, Kazuki finally answered honestly, "Yes, I am from Earth, specifically from Japan. If you're asking that, does it mean you're also from Earth? But how could you have ended up here? And which country are you from?" Although taken aback by the question, Kazuki quickly accepted the fact that reincarnation or transmigration was a real possibility. He had gained a new understanding of this after reading the manga recommended by Kaito. However, he wanted to know more about how Prince Harry had knowledge about Earth. Prince Harry then
*** The 29th Floor Defence, the monster known as "Shadowfang," was a terrifying creature. Its black-furred body enclosed powerful muscles, and its red eyes exuded killing intent. With sharp teeth and menacing claws, it was a deadly predator. "Grhhhhh...!!!" Kazuki faced it calmly, his sharp eyes looking at the monster. The Time Space Spear in his hand shone with a silvery blue light, hinting at the power ready to be unleashed. He stepped forward, ready to fight this monster. Dash-!!! "Roaarrr-!!!" The monster let out a thunderous roar, and its first attack came quickly. Kazuki dodged nimbly, dodging its sharp claws. In an instant, he was already at the monster's side, and with a swift movement, his spear stabbed towards the creature's shoulder. "Die for me-!!!" Croshhh-!!! The monster cried out in pain, but its attack became even more ferocious. Kazuki moved with great speed and skill, dodging the deadly attacks. He jumped into the air, avoiding the monster's bite. Avoid-!!!
*** The door of the room opened and King Ray entered the room with a firm step. Kazuki and the ministers greeted him. Without further ado, Kazuki immediately asked, "What is the reason for your arrival here, King Ray?" King Ray smiled calmly, showing his maturity and wisdom. He stated his intention firmly. "I will get straight to the point, I came to ask for help and establish a strong political relationship with the Arthia Empire led by you, Emperor Kazuki." Kazuki and the ministers were surprised by this request. However, Kazuki understood that this step could be the key to overcoming a greater threat and developing a strong ally. He stepped forward with a steady step, "Explain, King Ray. Why do you want us to be allies? Won't you be hostile by other Kingdoms?" King Ray explained about the threat that was threatening his country. He revealed that they had also faced terrible pressure from other countries, and even if that failed, they still had other problems in terms of food, a
*** The adventurers responded quickly, unleashing their best fighting skills. Move-!! Srasshhhhhh-!!!! The sound of weapons clashing, magic exploding, and battle cries echoed along the dark alleys. "Earth creation-!!" Booommmmm-!!!! Step- Dashhhh-!!! "Mage-!! A few steps beside the Tanker there is a barrel containing vampires hiding-!! So, quickly destroy it-!!" "I'll do it-!!" Roarrrrr-!!! Flash- The vampires tried to attack brutally, but the adventurers overcame their fear and fought back, but the vampires were easily suppressed by them because they had more numbers. The battle was fierce, with blood and sweat mixing, filling the air with a turbulent energy. Scrassshhhh-!!! Avoid- Split!!! After a heavy battle, the adventurers finally managed to defeat the vampires. The ferocious creatures turned into dust, disappearing in the night wind. The adventurers breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt admiration for each other's determination and courage. "Hahhhh... Hahh
*** In the negotiation room, a tense atmosphere prevailed as Kazuki put forth his opinion. "Aizen, I understand that your plan has good intentions," Kazuki said calmly, "but I have a different idea that might be more effective." Aizen stared at Kazuki in surprise but allowed him to explain. "What do you propose, Master?" Kazuki elaborated on his plan in detail, outlining how they could seek assistance from Hermit, the Head of the Adventurer's Guild in Nivaria City. "I believe that we can gain broader help and information through Hermit's network. Additionally, we can conduct our investigation more covertly this way." Aizen pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement. "You make a valid point. Let's involve Hermit in our efforts." *** Kazuki and Aizen agreed to invite Hermit to the headquarters of the War Division. Hermit was a wise and experienced individual who possessed extensive knowledge about the situation in Nivaria City. At least, he understood Nivaria City far bett
Sruuppttt... "Ahhhhh~" The morning sunlight streamed through Kazuki's bedroom window as he sat at his neatly arranged desk, sipping his coffee. Stare Stacks of reports and balance sheets lay scattered on his laptop in front of him, reflecting a busy activity after the thrilling meeting last night. Ring~ Ring~ Ring~ Suddenly, the communicator on his desk vibrated, but it wasn't an ordinary message; it was an emergency message. "Hmmm...? What's going on?" Kazuki quickly grabbed it and read the message. His face turned serious as he read the news about a vampire attack in the city of Nivaria and injured members of the War Division! "Vampire attack... and injured members?" Kazuki mumbled to himself, slightly puzzled. Until now, he hadn't known about this. Nevertheless, the situation seemed very serious since it warranted an emergency message. He knew they wouldn't use an emergency message unless the issue was beyond their control. He knew quick and precise action was required.
*** "Koga-!! Get over here and attack the bastard attacking from the tree-!!!" Koga roared madly when he realized that the attacks launched by these vampires were very diverse. "Okay-!!" Without much ado, Aizen immediately pointed his magic staff at the vampire and shouted, "Phoenix Rebirth-!!" In an instant, Aizen conjured a massive fireball with a diameter that was extremely large and directed it towards the vampire with a devastating power-!! Fireburst-!! Burn-!! However, the vampire easily dodged it. But before he could place his foot on the tree branch beside him, suddenly an arrow coated with white light pierced his heart. Thud- Crunchhhh-!!! "Aggghhhh-!!!!" Crash-!! And then, the vampire collapsed to the ground. Aizen glanced to his side, seeing that there were still around 12 vampires remaining that they needed to eliminate in order to secure their safety and gather information about them. "Aizen-!! Behind you-!!" Smirk... Hearing that, Aizen smiled slightly an
Kazuki showcases his expertise. All of his ideas and concepts in creating this game silence those who sneered at him. "The technology that can scan the brain and intricately map it into a computer, this is the technology successfully developed by America. Then, for the data processing part, the Chips from China are the best as they can process data much faster than other chips. And then the steps we need to take for..." Impressed- The implementation of VRMMORPG technology requires numerous trial runs, especially considering that the market reach of The Utopia will encompass the entire world. With this conference, Kazuki can attract numerous potential individuals from all around the globe to join him and expedite the perfection of the game. Infrastructure development, server maintenance, full dive creation, marketing, management, and other aspects require at least millions of human resources for that-!! Which will bring about a vast field of employment opportunities for the masses-
*** Actually, 12 hours before the major meeting at the UN headquarters, Kazuki met someone through his connection with President Ronald. That person was Chairman Bradley, the Secretary-General of the UN. "W-what did you just say... you abducted them all, then controlled them-?!!!!!!!" Bradley shouted in disbelief, echoing in his quiet living room. Kazuki activated his "God of War" skill, causing Bradley to feel the aura and shiver in fear. “…!!!” In his own home's room, Bradley now resembled a trapped mouse facing its predator. "Bradley, if we eliminate the de facto power of a country within the UN, you are the highest-ranking person in the world. If you were given two choices, the first being a human, or the second being a demon, which would you choose?" Kazuki calmly said while crossing his arms. "What-what is that? Obviously, I would choose the first one." Grinned...!! "Huhuhuhuhhh, good! You've given the right answer. You know, in the world of politics, there are no etern
*** A significant news resurfaced, with world leaders arriving one by one in their private planes to attend a major meeting at the United Nations headquarters. Chairman Bradley, the Secretary-General of the UN, confirmed the truth of this news as he was suddenly contacted by all the world leaders to prepare for the meeting. "What is your response to the disappearance of the previous world leaders?" a reporter asked Bradley as he walked into the building. Shaking his head lightly, Bradley replied, "I don't know, and I don't intend to inquire about that from them either." The questions then shifted to other matters. Everyone wondered about the reason behind this sudden meeting. The current atmosphere was one of contentment due to the cessation of warfare, but the sudden news reignited fear among many as they speculated about the new topic that would be discussed in the meeting. It remained uncertain whether they would discuss war or something else that might be detrimental. And wit
