"The true ruler, as we call him, is the first person to beco a ruler of the underworld. His plan was to control the entire kingdom and get a puppet ruler yet the oath with the first king prevented him from doing that.
The oath he had the first ti bound him for the rest of his life. Every ti there would be a new king, he would be forced to have the sa oath with him. However, the true ruler was one of the first archmages of the kingdom and devised a spell to shift bodies.
However, even that didn't do anything. He was forced to switch bodies and go around that way for years until I t him." Hayden sighed before continuing.
"Once he t , he realized that sothing about was different as though I was a complete outsider. But when he entered my body, I realized how odd it sounded. Hundreds of millions of humans suddenly appearing on the continent out of nowhere.
Sohow, he could see my mories of the real world which he used to modify the entire place. According to him, my world was sothing considered as a lesser world since we don't have magic.
Though the science and advancent intrigued him, he wasn't able to see anything related to Hikari. I on the other hand have been a slave both inside and outside the ga. But that ends now."
Hayden suddenly stood up as Zack felt a surge of power traveling through his body.
He imdiately opened the rankings to see Hayden's na shot to fifth place as he turned level 40. However, Zack didn't stop scrolling through the list as he ended up seeing the nas of all the players he currently knew and had in his guild.
'All of them are doing much better than expected. I guess this is the way things were ant to be.'
Despite seeing the success and growth of the players, Zack realized that Hayden had managed to learn a very important thing.
He now knew that sothing was wrong with the ga.
"Hayden, can I ask you a question?" Zack suddenly asked while locking gazes with Hayden.
The latter just nodded as he was curious about the question Zack was going to ask him.
"Do you think that Hikari is actually a real-world and not fake?" The black-haired boy asked with a straight face.
If he had asked the question fifty years in the past, most people wouldn't give him a second thought. However, the current humanity had seen many things and gone through nurous changes.
Believing that a realistic ga was actually another world didn't sound like a far-fetched tale.
"After seeing the true ruler's limited amount of mories and exploring the prison, I can easily say that this world might be real. Currently, it doesn't affect our world in any way so there is nothing to worry or think about."
Hayden replied honestly as he waited for Zack's expression to change yet the latter kept a firm poker face.
'But what if I told you that the world was going to change in a week?' Zack wanted to ask that question but he knew that doing so would make him look highly suspicious.
So instead, he just nodded and stood up from his place.
"I guess it's kind of late but we can still do formal introductions. My na is Zack and I am a count of the Eizenburgh kingdom."
"My na is Hayden Solanski and I am the new ruler of the underworld."
Both of them then extended their hands forward and shook them. They knew that the other was going to play an important role in the future.
"Hayden, would you like to beco the vice-leader of our guild?" Zack asked casually while talking to Emma through private ssages.
He explained how he had planned to get Hayden in their guild since the beginning since he would give them a huge advantage, not only in the ga world but in real life too.
Though Emma was surprised by the sudden turn of events, she knew that having soone as influential as Hayden was going to make a make change for them.
"Well, I will not be active unless anything serious happens so why not?" Hayden replied with a smile as he had already calculated his future plans in his mind.
Due to the duo, he would be able to make connections with the CEO of Doogle which in turn would allow him to have a strong backing for his plans.
'Now I just have to find a way to beat his stupid guard force or else they'll butcher and I will be executed.'
Hayden could not leave his house no matter how hard he tried. Every slip up he had to lead to so way of ntal torture and he had grown up experiencing such things.
[ If you are thinking of sohow killing or disposing of your father, it's going to be pretty easy to do that in a week. Strike him during the night ti and you will be able to survive bullet shots if you have high vitality. ]
Zack took a gamble by sending the private ssage to Hayden which earned him a strange look from the latter. If Hayden chose to believe him, his plan was definitely going to succeed and he would have two criminal empires under his control.
However, that would an that Hayden would ask him many more questions about how he knew it and stuff like that.
On the other hand, he could just think that Zack was a maniac and was lying. That was also fine with Zack as long as he managed to get Hayden in his guild.
'But him not being able to learn the dark knight job class and neither being able to remove Puten is quite the blow.'
Despite what many might think, Zack was no hero, or at least that's what he believed. For him, getting things for himself and those who mattered to him was the priority.
"Count in," Hayden replied with a smile though he said sothing else through private ssaging. [ I'll believe you since sohow, you seem to make think of soone I t though I don't rember where or when. ]
After that, Zack and Emma contacted Jonathan and told him that they were ready to bring Hayden back to the capital.
[ I have so news to share too so co back as quickly as you can. ]
Zack and Emma then exchanged a look as they wondered whether Jonathan had amnesia or not. The underworld's entrance was literally a few minutes' walk away from the palace.
'I wonder if he is stressed on sothing.'
After that, Hayden waved his hands over the trio as a black aura engulfed their bodies. Due to being the ruler, he was able to freely teleport anywhere inside his territory.
The trio appeared inside the bricked-up room from where they appeared back at the dumpsters to see a group of n gathered there.
However, they were dragging a half-drunk woman alongside them. It was clear from her expression and the knee-length dress she was wearing that sothing was wrong.
Before anyone could process anything, Hayden had vanished from his place and appeared behind the n.
"Vanishing void." In the blink of an eye, all of the n disappeared, leaving behind the woman alone. "They reminded of my father."
He then turned around while carrying the woman as though she was so princess. Zack and Emma exchanged a glance before following.
The ruler of the underworld wasn't like his father at all.
