"What? Hold on, hold on, I yearned to be at least be a normal warrior and start from there but,....to be the King? I never really thought I was going to be one, I thought the odds were one in a billion,...mm I guess they are, maybe that one just happened to be me....holy shhhittt!" "Your Highness, allow me to formally introduce myself, I am Allor Lavoc, one of your three dark advisors, I possess a seer's ability", Allor bowed. "Uhh-uhh, su-sure okay" "Meet the rest of them, Paller Gomez and Kadma Tekeen", he said as the two of them appeared behind him at his sides. "A pleasure my Lord, I am Paller Gomez, I possess a warrior's ability", Paller spoke, she had white hair, blue eyes. "And I am Kadma Tekeen, I possess a mage's ability", he said, he had red long hair and red eyes. "Okay, this is, too much? What am I supposed to do?" "My Lord, Paller will be in charge of details of what you should be aware of as a king", Allor said. "Oh right", Gin said. The other two advisors exited. "Allow me to elaborate full details my Lord", she bowed. "Uh, there's please, raise your head, there's no need to be entirely formal", Gin said. Paller rose, she sighed. "Very well, I'm going to start,....there are certain roles a king should take part in and common responsibilities,....symbolic figurehead, advisory roles, cultural ambassador, unifying figure charit-" "Wait wait wait! Ugh, just slow down geez, make me understand much better,please", Gin said. Paller sighed again. "Symbolic figurehead, is the same as representing the state of nation, followed by advisory roles, you should consult with us advisors, ministers and other officials, then cultural ambassador, you ought to promote national culture, heritage and values then diplomatic role, meeting with foreign leaders and ambassadors, then ceremonial duties, you should participate in offical events,ceremonies and rituals". she explained. "Ohhh I now get it, but, I'm gonna have to write that down or I'll have trouble recalling", Gin said. "You needn't to worry my Lord, I'll be informing you every single day, and mount every word into your head", she said. "Okay, that's good too" "In some cases, a king may also have consitutional powers when you sign laws, appoint officials or dissolving government, and military leadership, as in commander-in-chief of armed forces", she said. "I really gonna have to get used to everything I guess", he said. "Precisely, also, you should be wary of those who seek favor for personal gain, threats from within, including us advisors or nobles so don't trust anyone, not even me", she said. "Mmm, you seem like you wouldn't do that though", Gin said. "My Lord!!", Paller yelled as he voice echoed and there was a moment of silence between them, while she glared back at Gin with her dark cold glare in her eyes. Gin gulped. "My Lord,..you are a very sensitive and crucial figure in this kingdom, if you're removed, then its all over, so I'll say this again, never trust anyone, even me", Paller said. "U-understood", Gin spoke. "External threats, including wars, or diplomatic manipulators, poor counsel, surrounding yourself with yes-men and unqualified advisors, so be aware, corruption and abuse of power, letting power corrupt your judgement and actions, then complacency, which is becoming too comfortable or disconnected from your people and lastly unforseen challenges,..natural disasters, economic downturns or unexpected events", she elaborated. "Mmmm", he sunk his hands in his hair. "You'll get into it much sooner", Paller said. "Mmm alright", he said. Paller glared at him for a moment again. "Uhm...is there,...another thing?", Gin asked. "Yes,...", she sighed," My Lord-" "Please you can call me Gi-" "That's just it!! We!! No one, should call you by your name, everyone should always and forever be formal with you, even I and your other two advisors, you should be feared, people should fear you, don't hesitate to spill brutal words, don't even dare to act nice just because we're at your side, be selfish. be self-aware, no one should raise their voice to you like how I am doing right now and don't let anyone question your judgement", she said. Gin took a moment to process. "O-okay", he said. "And you should fix your posture", she stood much closer, she was the same height as his but in age she was two years older. "Chest out chin up" He did so, but he was a bit slouched. She touched his lower back at his tail bone. "Uhm" Then her other hand on his chest. "Chest out, a bit more", she said. His heart started to beat fast. "There,...be confident, be boastful got it?", she questioned with her face very much closer now. "Uh-ye-yes", he said, His cheeks beet red. Paller widened her eyes, realizing now that she was much closer to his face. She backed away. "Ehm", she cleared her throat. The doors opened wide and all officials entered. "Meet all of the dark officials of this kingdom", she said while they entered. "Peter at your service my Lord", Peter the chancellor said and bowed. "Samuel here my Lord", Samuel the Steward ,he bowed. "Gefy ,it is I", Gefy the chamberlain bowed. "Jasmine here my Lord", she bowed, she was the Seneschal, who supervised the royal household staff, ceremonies and events. "And I am Frank", he bowed, the master of the guard. "George here", he bowed, the treasurer. "I'm Kimi, a pleasure", she bowed, she was the scribe or secretary. And the other nobles and courtiers. Both a man and a woman barged in harshly and everyone looked back. "What is the meaning of this?!", Allor spoke aloud. "Uh apologies, my Lord, but these two were persistent and they slipped through, the other guards are still getting to their positions, I was the only one at the entrance", the guard said. "Your majesty, please I need your help, my goods, he wants to steal my goods!!", a woman exclaimed while bowing. "Your goods? That is my store woman,...my Lord,she's a thief, they've been people like that recently who have been claiming things that aren't theirs for theft", the man said. "You liar! He's lying, my-I worked so hard to obtain those goods, I traveled in the mountains and risked my life for them, so that my children wouldn't starve", the woman wept. "Huhh?? Are you serious? I've been running that store for three years, and I can see you're putting a really good effort to convince the Lord otherwise", the man replied with his arms folded. "Go to hell! I won't let you take my hard labor!!!", the woman hastily stood up attempting to fight the man as she was held still by the guard. "Calm down!! Woman!! Have respect!! You're in the presence of the king!!", the guard said. She got down on her knees. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry my Lord, I'm-I just, its been hard, my kids, my husband dying, everything", she wept. "Ugh, seriously? Can't no one see that she's faking? Geez, that store has been passed down from generations, from my great grandfather, grandfather ,my father and down to me, many people have been wanting to get their hands on it because of how well its known and the way customers like to attend in it", the man replied. "My Lord, if I may, I have top information that I ought to inform you", Kimi said. A secretary who was in charge of records official documents, correspondance and history. "Pass it", Allor said as he walked torwards her, she whispered. He nodded. He walked back; "My Lord, word has it, the ruler of the Light side is actually a Queen,....and her name is Gwen", Allor said as Gin's heart ached with his eyes widened. He sat down on his throne. "Gwen? No, no! Wasn't she supposed to be a warrior or something? Gwen? The Queen of Light?! That's absurd!! Why?Why?Why? Why must she always be blocking my path to happiness, why?!......", Gin was sunk in his thoughts with his hands sunk in his hair facing down. "Screw this,...all of it!! Its my time now, and I'm going to take it!!" "My Lord please, if my store gets taken away, I'll starve with my children", the woman pleaded. "Your store? I can't believe this! I won't let anyone take what was given to me by my father, that store is precious to me, I'd die for it!!" , the man said. "Mm two people, different stories, but same claims, what will you do my Lord?", Paller asked beside him. Gin raised his head. His expression changed. "Put these scum away, I don't have time for such insolence", Gin spoke in a cold manner. "Come on, you heard the King", the guard grabbed them both. "No! Please, my Lord!!", the woman cried. "My Lord, arrest her, or I'll be in danger", they got taken out. Paller smiled. "Now we have a king", she said.

Later afterwards

Gin was being directed to his suite. "Paller, I need you to do something for me", he said, while walking along the hallway on their way to Gin's new suite. "Yes my Lord?", Paller replied. "I need something that can make me,.....invisible", he said. "Invisible?" "Rephrase, I don't want my identity to be known by the Kingdom of Light, not yet", he said. "I'll have Kadma handle that, since he's specialized in magic", Paller said. "Very well, that will be splendid", he said. Paller looked aside at him with the corner of her eye. "My Lord,...did you,....snap?", Paller asked. "What?", Gin questioned. "You've,...changed, somehow", Paller said. "Its nothing". he replied. Paller narrowed her brows. "Can it be? The moment Allor mentioned the Queen of Light's name he started acting bizarre and he suddenly changed", Paller mumbled in her head. "Does the Lord and the Queen of Light know each other?" They arrived. "We're here", Paller said ,standing toward the purple dark door. "Raise your hand" "What?" "Raise your hand", Paller said and Gin did so as the door opened. "What-the", he surely was surprised. "This door can only opened by you only, anyone other than the King cannot enter", Paller said, "once you enter inside, I cannot, you'll have to invite me in, then I'll be able to enter" "Oh,...", he entered inside."You can come in", he said and she successfully entered. "Now for the last part,...your abilities", Paller said. Gin sighed afterwards. "Unfortunately um, I uh, don't possess um any impressive special talents like fighting and uh stuff", Gin said. Paller looked at him with her dead blue eyes. "Excuse me my Lord", she said as she grabbed his side head and pressed his forehead with her thumb and he entered a trance. "Wh-what is,..this?", Gin questioned. "This is where you'll see what ability you possess", she said with her eyes closed. In his trance he could only see symbols and human figures in plain darkness depending on the type of ability he looked at. "Swordsman,....the ability to use and wield a sword", she said and he saw a human figure with a standing style with a sword. "What?! Swordsman? I have,...swordsman ability?", he asked shockingly. "Precisely,...Decay,...the ability to rot anyone you touch when it is activated", she said. "Whoah, that's a nasty one", he replied. "Dark void,....the ability of producing dark energy and when used in attack against your foe, they'll bleed through their nose,eyes,ears and then they die", she explained. "Dark decoy,...the ability to form a clone" "Whoah" "But you can only form one clone maximum" "Understood" "Then lastly, your finishing blow,...black blast supreme,....a final powerful dark blast that wipes out even the Queen herself", she said as Gin clenched his fists. Paller let go and their visions returned back to normal. A loud knock came by and they both looked back. "My Lord? You in there???", It was Kadma, he knocked again. and Gin opened it. "What is it?", Gin asked. "Come, you have to see this!!"
