My smile fades as I take in the look on their faces, they looked hurt, all of them. I turned to look at the king, his daughter and the Kingsmen, they look like they're all humans.
Now that I know that they aren't joking, I feel hurt for them and I want to help them, but I can't. It's an intra-world war and they expect me, Hans Ronald, to fight for them. I don't even hold open the doors of my car.“I'm sorry King Cypher, but I am not the man you want. What you need is a warrior, I'm weak, I know how to run companies but that's all, truly. You have the wrong person, if there was a way I could help, I would, but there is no way that I can help, I'll just be a pain in your royal ass.... " Everyone starts to laugh, except commander Jax and Princess Diane. Those two haven't even cracked a single smile. I smile, the King composes himself and with the raise of a single finger, everyone in the room shuts up, that is my thing, now I feel subtly uncomfortable in the face of this man, what am I, a servant or something?. I feel my cheeks burning with anger, these people are keeping me here out of my own will, I need to return back to earth, if the so called system had gifted me with powers... If that book had worked and really I'm as strong as they say, I should be fighting my own battle, not the battle of this king or his world. I clear my throat, establishing my dominance and bringing each and everyone's attention back to me.“You were saying?." I asked the king in my calm, cold tone. He beats his eyelashes, he's not used to being told what to say... He's a king in Von and I'm like a king on earth, I don't care about opposing him.“You're the most powerful man in the Cosmo." King Cypher says and then a chill runs down my spine. First the wealthiest now the most powerful?. Jax's loud grunt distracts me from my thoughts, I turn to look at him and he's giving me the side eye.“I appreciate that but still I...." I was begining to say but a man cuts me off.“There should be not buts..." The man declared almost as if he's saying an anthem.“And who are you?." I asked the man." I'm Troy, advicer to king Cypher of Von." The man announces." And who says you could cut me off while I'm speaking?. " I ask him, my fingers turning to fist at my side." The king adviser is not to be spoken to that way!. " Jax says through gritted teeth, taking one step towards me." I'm sure Troy dosen't mind being spoken to by our guest in any manner." The King says and Jax looked shocked. He mutters something about killing me but I don't give it another thought, since my parents died, I'm in a lot of people's death list, being on his own list dosen't make me feel less safer." We cannot explain the amount of power that resides in your body, your blood and bones are... Oh Hans, I do not know how to explain it to you, the amount of power you possess."" I appreciate the information King Cypher, but It's unfortunate that I possess so much power but I don't know how to use it." I say to king Cypher and he rubs his palms together." How about we strike a deal, a deal that would save our world and save you too."“Sure, I'll like to hear this deal." I say turning my attentiom to my wrist, my watch had completely changed. I was wearing a Rolex the last time I remember now my watch looks different, less fancy more tactical.“How about, we train you, make you a battle angel and a killing machine and In exchange, you'll fight our war for us." I know all about ground breaking deals, but this deal was a very good deal, sadly I still have my own war to fight.“That's a lovely deal King Cypher but I'll have to decline. It's very important that I return to earth. My parents were killed the same day I left earth, they were murdered and I have to get revenge on their murderers. The murderer is also trying to get me. I was saved by the system, I would have been assassinated and if I was, who would have fought your war, you would have found someone else." I tell them." We know you want revenge but how will you get it if you don't know how to fight?." King Cypher asked me." I'll figure it out when I get to earth." I reply." I suppose you can't change your mind, and we understand. " king Cypher says returning his crown back on his head." Jax, you know what to do!. " King Cypher says to Jax who grabs my arm extremely tight.“Take our guest to his room, where he'll wait so we'll prepare the teleporting machine." He says to Jax who looked oddly disappointed, what was he expecting, for the king to order my death sentence?.“It's a great honour to have spoken with someone as mighty as you. Why don't you come down for dinner before you leave. Von is known for its delicious meals." King Cypher says." No thank you, but I'll have to decline." I say politely." Offer him a seat next to princess Diane and I'm sure he'll come running down to have dinner with us. " Troy, the king's adviser said. King Cypher smiled at me." You'll have a seat next to our daughter Diane. " the king offers. I take a look at Diane who had taken her eyes off me immediately my gaze landed on her." I'm sorry but I'll have to say no, thank you for the offer but I'll be glad if the teleporting machine is being prepared immediately." I announce." I would murder him myself!." I heard Troy say standing up and running towards me with a swiss knife in his hand.But a single raise of King Cypher's finger shuts Troy up and he sits down.“Take him to the royal guest room." The king tells Jax. I pull my hand away from Jax's grip, he looks very angry. He turns away and he starts to lead me to the room. I walk Into it and I notice how beautiful and opulent it is. “You can leave now." I say to Jax and he stares at me long and hard, he turns away and then he marches down the hallway and disappeared down a flight of stairs. I take a seat in one of the couch, I didn't count till thirty before a knock came on my door. I spring up in happiness hoping that the teleporting machine has been prepared and I'm going to go back to earth.“Sir Hans, His Majesty, King Cypher is inviting you to have a royal dinner with them in the royal dinning hall. " the servant says." Tell him I appreciate but as I said earlier, I'll rather return back to earth sooner." I tell him and he bows, then he walks away. I go to sit down once again and he knock
“Get him before he gets away!." Jax shouts. My heart is skipping beats and I'm terrified. I reach the top of the stairs and I feel the feets of dozens of guards running after me. I run towards the door of my room, that is when I hear the first gun shot. Impulsively, I fall to the ground and I start to hear them fire at me but I'm laying low, if eventually, we're on levelled ground, they would shoot me to bits.“Shield, shield, fucking shield, system, wake up, activate shield, activate weapons!." I'm screaming on top of my voice and my voice is getting shadowed by the sound of gunshots.(Decline system can't follow multiple commands at a time.) I hear in my ear.“F*ck." I say placing my hand over my head as a bullet graze my knee. I fold my knee towards my chest.“Seize fire, seize fire you morons!." I heard Jax ordering... It took a few seconds before everything got calm and they had stop shooting. Immediately things get quiet, I spring to my feet and I start to run,
I see the astonished look on her face after I order her to get out. But she's just staring at me, she doesn't move“I'm doing this because of the innocent people of Tar. If they wipe your memories and make you subject to their command, with the amount of power you possess, they'll be able to control you and that world will be destroyed into bits. You're a good person, I can feel it, please help those poor people." She says pleadingly. I nod. I feel ashamed of myself for labelling her as wicked as her father, she's nothing like that man. She connects the chip and after a few seconds she tells me that she's done.“Thank you." She says to me. I am speechless and I don't know what to tell her.“You're welcome." I reply.“You're going to forget I ever came here and if our plan works, your original memory will be restored." She says backing away towards the door, I couldn't sleep her again.“What If it doesn't work?." I ask “Be optimistic." She demands. " Wait, if they wipe
I hear Jax shuffling around but I couldn't see him because of how dark the dungeon is. Then I hear King Cypher open the door and through the stolen light that is casted from outside, I could see him. He's wearing a gas mask, and beside him is a gas tank. I hear the gas being released and slowly, I felt the arms of sleep. I fell to the ground because I couldn't hold my legs straight any more. “You're going to be a servant of Von." King Cypher said and that was when I slipped into the void. *** I'm waking up, and everything seems oddly familiar but this is the first time I have ever woken up in a metal room. I stand up from the ground and I walk to the only door in the room.“Where am I?." I knock on the door and there is no reply. This feels like a dream. " Where is this place?. " I ask myself. I knock again and then the door opens to reveal a man. He's about my height but his shoulders are broader, he's wearing a black t-shirt and I can see his musc
“Troy is very old, don't worry about him or whatever he said. He's being taken to his room to rest." " I'm sure that Jax has told you why you're here. " King Cypher says to me and I nod. I hear a cough and for the first time, my eyes wander away from the king and I notice her sitting by the king... A very beautiful young lady. Roughly my age, with fine skin and light blonde hair. “Hans, meet my beloved daughter, Diane." King Cypher says and i nod.“Nice to meet you Princess Diane." I say to her. She doesn't smile at me, she just stared at me. I turn away from her and I turn to look back at King Cypher. Unlike him, his daughter is cold. King Cypher is such a nice man, the voice in my head says and I nod.“Make me proud Hans, the league of nations have made great statements about you." King Cypher says.“I'll Be A Great Servant of Von." I say taking a low bow and king Cypher's laugh quake through the whole throne room.“Come and say hi to your team." Jax says and I turn
It's the second day of my training and I'm already bruised. I and Master Nai had been training with the swords again and I wasn't looking, he had hit my sword, and my sword was bent, just a single dent and it tore my flesh and blood spilled out. I looking at myself in the mirror, just then, master Nai comes towards me holding a wet towel. I press the towel on my injured arm thinking it's soaked in water but it isn't, it's like an antiseptic liquid, I had stop myself from yelping so that I wouldn't seem weak in the eyes of master Nai.“I'm sorry." I muttered to him.“For what, I was the one that struck you with my sword." He said walking away. “I should be the one to be sorry Hans." He says. My arm is throbbing.“No, if I had doged it..." I say to master Nai and he holds up his hand in the air.“It's the ending of our training for today, take care Hans." He says to me and I nod. I take the towel with me, still pressing it against my arm to stop the bleeding. I wa
It's my seventh day of training and I'll be damned if someone says I'm not as quick on my feet as Master Nai. I have learnt everything, from his pose, to his gestures, everything there is to learn about sword fighting. I hit his sword, there's a loud slash and I know that one of our swords would go flying, and it wouldn't be mine... It's his. Now he's vulnerable, his word is laying somewhere on the floor and he's looking at me, he's very amused. He starts clapping and I throw my sword down.“I'm as fast as you master Nai." I tell Nai and he smiles.“You are Hans, you're a fast learner, probably the fastest I have ever trained." He says.“Or maybe you're getting old." I say to him and he laughs throwing his head backwards. “Maybe." He says eyeing me. “It's your super powers that are supporting you, Hans. Without then you'll be weak, but you're growing strong." He tells me."So what are we doing tomorrow?." I ask him.“There's no tomorrow for me and you." He says pick
It's the first day i'm going to meet my whole team mates. Tomorrow is the day of the mission. I'm expected to meet them in a firing range. I walk into the gun range and they're all standing there, holding guns, wearing sound proof ear muffs, and shooting at a target. I'm watching them from where I'm standing in the door, I can sight Kana, she's the shortest of the ground, she's the only one with chocolate brown hair, there's another girl standing in the booth beside Kana, she has short black hair, she's tall, and she's slim, not as curvy as Kana, but prettier. She turned to me and recognition passed through her eyes, she smiled, I returned the smile. They all stood shooting and now all their eyes are on me. The two guys, are handsome in a very intimidating way. “Hey, I'm core." One of the two guys say stretching his hand to me for a handshake, his eyes are as dark as the night sky, but they looked like they hold decades of experience even though he looks my
