Reason Behind The Power Of A King[1]
[Andrew Dawn POV],
As I turned to lay on the chair I was sitting in, I took a deep breath of exhaustion and massaged my forehead with my right hand as I heard a knock on the door.
"Co on in," I said.
The door slowly opened as a figure erged from it after hearing my confirmation to enter the eting room.
It was Emilia, my attendant.
"Good Day Sir", Emilia said imdiately as she entered the eting room and laid her eyes on .
"What's the problem?" I asked, looking at her and waiting for a response.
Emilia has been a part of my life since she was a small child.
The majority of my guards are the sa way.
Apart from wanting to have loyal followers like my fellow kings, I prefer to use the people around rather than others outside of my territory.
This is why I've been grooming these kids since they were little, Emilia included.
She's beco even closer to and my family since my son adopted her as an adopted sister and Adara adopted her as an elder sister she didn't have.
While there was still a difference in status she had to respect, this child was one of my most important people.
As these thoughts raced through my mind, I focused my attention on Emilia's words.
"I'm sorry to disturb your rest, sir, but I have to remind you that there's another eting in 30 minutes, so I ca to remind you," Emilia said quickly and neatly, showing how much training she must have gone through, but when I heard what she said, I couldn't help but sigh.
Goddammit!
I just got out of a eting!
Thinking about this, I turned to Emilia and asked her a question.
"Can't we just cancel or postpone this eting?" I asked, and Emilia gave a slight smile when she heard this before speaking.
"No, sir," she replied, adding, "it's matters concerning the empire's finances after all."
When I heard the last part, I realized I couldn't avoid this eting no matter how much I wanted to and could.
As I was about to say sothing, Emilia opened her mouth again and spoke before .
"However, after this eting, there are no more etings today," she stated.
Hearing this made smile slightly as I spoke.
Emilia, by the way, is also my secretary.
"All right then, let's get to it," I said, adding, "Where is Adara now lest I forget?"
"She's on a school outing with her classmates," Emilia explained in response to my inquiry.
"Did she go by herself?" I inquired because this was an extrely important question to .
"She went with her bodyguards, sir," Emilia clarified.
Hearing this, I nodded, but just as I was about to say sothing else, the room went dark.
It wasn't so bad that I couldn't see anything, but it was close.
What made it even stranger was that the power went out, and the light that was supposed to illuminate the room was unavailable because it appeared to be also dark outside.
Seeing this, I got up from my seat and walked over to the window, followed by Emilia, who said nothing and just followed from behind.
What I didn't expect to see out there was another darkness.
In a nutshell, the sky was pitch black like the sun, and everything in the atmosphere had vanished.
'What in the world is going on?' I wondered as I turned to face Emilia before issuing a command.
"Call everyone, including military personnel nearby, to gather here imdiately!" I said as I walked out of the room in quick tides, Emilia close behind .
But after a while of walking, I didn't hear anything from Emilia behind .
I turned back, perplexed, to see her sweating and pressing her phone.
When I saw this, I asked a question.
"What's the problem?" I inquired, and Emilia responded imdiately.
"It's not working, sir," she explained.
"What's the problem?"
"Everything" She said and added; "Am not receiving any signal to call sir".
Hearing what she just said made believe that everything that was happening now was a terrorist attack, but even if this were true, their thods were too powerful.
As I was thinking about this, I gave Emilia another command to do right away without turning to look at her.
"Then go quickly and use the birds," I said as Emilia dashed off to do what I said.
I never imagined the day would co when I would have to communicate with birds.
Fortunately, father's hobbies made it possible.
As I was thinking this, the guards I had sent out on a random long errand just because I needed my privacy to rest after the eting t up with , along with so of their colleagues, as we all made our way out of the palace, only to find a disordered atmosphere among the people who work there.
"Order!" I yelled, and everyone shut their mouths to look at .
After a few minutes of calming everyone down and was about to instruct them to return to their work, sothing in the dark sky diverted my attention.
[Ti remaining until planets awaken; 1,095 Days: 23 Hours: 53 Minutes: 46 Seconds],
'What's that?' I thought as I looked at the golden words in the black sky before falling unconscious.
Little did I know that the world I knew was coming to an end and that a new era was on its way.
...…
'Ugh,' I groaned as I tried to move only to discover that I couldn't.
Seeing this, I thought I was trapped in sothing and struggled to move more, and when I could finally move, I felt wet all over before the sound of sothing cracking intensified around as I felt myself being pushed out of sothing.
Taking a mont to wipe the wet substance off my face as I imagined the worst-case scenario, such as and my family mbers being kidnapped while trying to remain calm, when I finally opened my eyes, it was a completely different story from what I had imagined.
I rember going unconscious as soon as I saw the golden letters in the black sky, but was I really unconscious for three years?
This was my thought as I looked around at the unrecognizable palace and surroundings, which appeared to be buried in a forest.
Aside from that, there were nurous large transparent crystals with humans in them scattered all around .
I recognized all of them as my people based on the clothes they were wearing and looking at my back to see a cracked transparent crystal, I could tell that the transparent crystal was also where I was before I 'broke' out and as I watched the crystals around crack with the humans, I wondered what was really going on.
This was most emphatically not the work of any terrorist organization.
If it was, it was far too powerful.
'Does this an the end of the world?'
'At the very least, I've passed the age to no longer concerned about my browser history.'
This was my train of thought as I tried to organize the people who had broken out of their transparent crystal, as my guards and security personnel automatically ca to my side to keep watch.
Aside from that, I noticed that more of my people were coming to et , and from what they all said, it appears that the world has changed dramatically, and it was not a minor change.
They claim that despite everything being down, they were all able to get here because they could still trace the path back despite the minor changes along the way.
They appear to have awakened from the transparent crystal before .
It's fine, though.
At least, it appears that more of my n will be able to co here from nearby, and I will simply have to wait.
The world's population today, compared to the old age, allowed empires to have armies for personal use that numbered in the thousands.
This was my thought when a blue panel appeared in front of , startling , and judging by the reactions of those around , it appears I am not the only one seeing this.
Well, I could only see the one directly in front of though.
'This is very strange,' I thought as I tried to calm the unrest in my heart before turning to read the information on the blue panel in front of .
...…..
[Species discovered on a newly awakened planet],
[Initiating Specie with the Primordial Chronicle],
[Specie Initiated],
[Updating Status.......],
...
'Huh?'
'What exactly is this?' I thought before the texts on the panel suddenly vanished and were replaced by new ones.
....

[Age: 49],
[Race: Human [Homo sapiens]],
[Level: 1],
[Job: None],

[Title: King Of A Hundred People[Inactive], King Of An Army[Hundred n][Inactive]],
......
'What the hell is going on now?' I thought as the surroundings suddenly beca noisy.
I knew what the problem was before I even asked what it was.
The people were becoming scared.
Humans have always been afraid of the unknown, and I was no exception, but unlike the people around , I was a king.
I couldn't panic, so I took my ti calming the crowd again as more of my n joined from outside, but before I could even finish, the panel from before reappeared.
The text on the panel was even more concerning this ti.
...….
[Planet Spe has been successfully initiated into the Primordial Chronicles],
[The Primordial Chronicles have successfully initiated all species on Spe],
[All species on planet Spe can open and use the Primordial Chronicles, but only those who are qualified are allowed to keep it],
[Beginning Stage One of Planet Spe Evolution Phrase],
[Stage 1: Eliminating the Weak],
...…
My subordinate beside spoke imdiately after I read the text in the panel.
"My king," he called out, and as soon as he had my attention, he pointed to a specific direction in the black sky that started to rain for so reason, and when I saw what was there, only one word ca out of my mouth.
"Heavens"
