All the important figures in the palace gathered
in the King's bedroom, as their beloved king was in his last breath due to poison.
The nobility along with the many people in the palace was in uproar because of the situation.
Anger, Sadness, Horror.
Is what they all felt.
The vessels were enraged by themselves due to the fact that they let their beloved king be easily poisoned.
"OUR KING YOU CANNOT LEAVE US YET! YOU STILL HAVE TO GUIDE US!"
The King's assistant spoke
However the dying king only smiled.
"My task is finished, I had done all I can for the kingdom.
My last will is all written in that paper.
I will watch all over you in the after life."
The people in the King's bedroom held their heads high, to look down would be to shame The king that they all admired.
The dying king slowly loses consciousness, as the voices in the background slowly begins to fade away.
'Is this where it all ends? I lived my whole life in the battlefield.
Conquered many kingdoms, made the impossible possible.
Looking back in the past, I only fought, conquered, and slept to only repeat the same process everyday.
As time passed, my desire to battle slowly faded away.
That's where I started to notice things other than the battlefield.
The people around me were living.
With family, friends.
They didn't worry about someone stabbing them if they let their guard down.
They didn't have to fight because there were no foes.
They lived happily,
Lived with emotions.
They were living in the moment.
But I was living too far to the future.
Living to survive, when I was already surviving.
And now that there are no more enemies to fight against..
The reason of why I was living disappeared.
And as time passes I only existed.
I was not alive, I was just there with no purpose.
If only I had lived in the moment..
How different would my life be?'
As the dying king realizes and questioned the life that he had led.
He slowly became aware of his surroundings.
It was all white a vast land of white that seems endless.
"I hear it mortal, your regrets."
An unknown voice echoes through the whole white land.
"This is the after life? Seems pretty boring to me."
"Do not be mistaken mortal, I am here to grant your wish."
"My wish? It's more of a question or a sense of curiosity."
"Then mortal do you wish for a.."
The unknown voiced that echoed around the white area paused.
Then it sighed.
"What a drag, can we just finish already?"
Something out of nothing materialized.
It was a person to be more precise, a beautiful woman.
Her aura was all over the place,
It was as if Holiness took shape of a person.
"Hey there."
The king waves at the beautiful woman.
"Can we just get this over with?
It's the usual reincarnation thing."
"Reincarnation..
Doesn't sound that bad so what's the process?"
The beautiful woman snapped her fingers and something appeared.
It was a rather big machine that had a lever.
"Pull the lever to roll, it decides on your cheat ability."
"I thought it was just fiction, but who knew it was actually this cliché."
"I know right.
But anyways before you roll, let's look at your file first."
The beautiful woman snapped her fingers again, and a table along with chairs appeared.
She signals the king to have a sit, and the king sat in the chair.
"Let's see, you are named Sargon.
A mortal that was born and got sold to a shady organization by your parents
You were experimented and used as a lab rat for a decade before you escaped the facility.
The shady organization was actually a kingdom that fell in ruin
desperate for power they decided to pour their last resources to create a perfect soldier that only desires to conquer, with that soldier they can be a powerful kingdom once again.
And the perfect soldier turns out to be you.
Seeing as they already poured almost all their resource to make you stronger and you just escaped that was a bad situation for them.
So they searched and tried to capture you.
But to no avail their creations was too powerful.
You successfully achieved freedom.
And with no one to run the kingdom that was in ruin.
You became a king.
And for a century you lived in the battlefield that only serves to fight strong opponents till you die.
However you question the life you have led, seeing that you spent it only fighting and conquering kingdoms.
And when you conquered all the continents and united all of them.
there was no one to fight anymore
You lost your purpose.
And now you ponder what would've happened if you tried to led a different life."
The king listens to his own story summarized.
And he yawned.
"Pretty much, I was actually glad that I was poisoned."
"What a pitiful life you have led mortal.
Now what do you plan to do once you reincarnate?"
"I guess I'll be living a relaxing life.
No more conquering."
"I see, then I'll be watching this relaxing life as it piqued my interest.
Now you will be given 5 chances to roll this machine.
The world you will be born in is very different from your former world.
There will be magic, monsters, and a vast world that is waiting to be explored."
"Hmm that's neat."
"Now let's see what abilities you will get mortal."
The king grabs the lever of the machine and uses it.
The machine spins and spins till it slowly stopped.
A capsule dropped downwards.
The king grabs it and opens the capsule.
Congratulations you have received
The divine protection of the Sage.
"Divine protection of the sage?"
"Oohh, first try and you already got a rare ability.
The divine protection of the Sage.
It boosts your knowledge greatly, and increases your thinking speed to an inhumane level.
With this blessing you would be a walking encyclopedia.
This is quite useful as with this even as a baby you'll be a super genius capable of already having the understanding of an average adult."
"That's very convenient, with this I just need to read a book once and already memorize the contents of it.
Well then what will be the second."
The king rolls the machine again
It spins and it spins and it slowly stops again.
A capsule drops downwards again and the king grabs and opens the capsule.
Congratulations you have received
The Divine Protection Of The Moon.
"This one confuses me.
What does this one do?"
"The divine protection of the moon.
When the moon is out, It buffs your abilities like magic, physical abilities and so on."
"Another convenient ability, looks like the God's are on my side today.
Well then number 3 is the lucky number."
The king rolls the machine again and just like last roll another capsule drops downwards.
The king grabs the capsule again and opened it.
Congratulations you have received
The Divine Protection Of The War God.
"War God? That seems like a powerful ability.
What does it do?"
"It gives you mastery of any weapon that you come across.
For example a person with this divine protection grabs a spear.
But he has not trained or used a spear before.
With the divine protection of the war God,
He will be able to use a spear just like master spearsman."
"Hmm, this ability is useless to me as because I am already adapted to any type of weapons.
That's a given as I lived my whole life in the battlefield."
The king rolls the machine again and a capsule drops once more.
The king grabs the capsule and opens it.
Congratulations you have received
The Divine Protection Of The Wise Mage.
"Oohh, that'll be really useful I can be a battle mage."
"The divine protection of the wise mage
Grants you a large mana pool and allows you to use the 4 elements being fire, water, earth, and wind."
"Now for the last one, I wonder what will it be."
The king closes his eyes and rolls the machine again.
He hears the sound of the capsule dropping.
He grabs the capsule and opens it.
He waited before opening his eyes.
Congratulations you have received
The Divine Protection Of The Holy Fighting spirit.
"Holy Fighting Spirit? That seems good what does it do?"
"The Divine Protection Of The Holy Fighting Spirit
Allows the user to boost his physical abilities to it's utmost limits it can handle.
Although you should be careful seeing as this ability has big drawbacks.
The stronger the user gets, the stronger this ability will be."
"Sage to boost my knowledge, Moon to buff my abilities, War God for mastery of weapons, Mage to amplify my mana and grant affinity to the four elements, and finally The Holy Fighting Spirit to increase my physical abilities to it's utmost limits."
The king confirms at his abilities and nodded.
"Before we begin, you can ask me questions.
Is there anything you'd like to know?"
"Hmm, do I keep my memories after I reincarnate?"
"Normally you would forget about all of this along with your past life, but because of the
Divine Protection Of The Sage you will be able to remember.
So yes you will be keeping your memories."
"The World that I'm going to reincarnate in,
Is the structure of it vastly different from my world?"
"Very much so, unlike your previous world
Where the continents are very separated.
The world you'll be reincarnating in only a big one piece of land.
To be more more precise
That world is that of a flat world similar to a diorama instead of a globe. All four edges of the world end with giant cliffs where water pours down into the abyss below. The endless waters are dubbed theGreat Waterfall."
"Then is there something beyond the Great Waterfall?"
The beautiful woman only smiled at the king, as she rests her chin on her hand.
"Now who knows? After all it is up to you whether you'll be exploring or not.
But will you be exploring? You did say that you want to live a relaxing life did you not?"
"I did say that I'll be living a relaxing life, but everyone has different forms of relaxing.
Like how some people find it relaxing sitting while reading a book, or you can find relaxation in the battlefield.
My goal is to find what relaxes me."
"Hmm, I see. Then is that all your questions then mortal?"
"I guess so, no more questions."
"You are interesting, and for that I shall give you a gift mortal."
"A gift? What kind of gift?"
The beautiful woman waved her hands and clasps her hands together.
She slowly pulls away both hands away from each other and as she do so a blinding light appeared.
And it materialized.
The beautiful woman holds the black cane and hands it over to the king.
"A black stick? Truly a precious gift."
"Don't be stupid mortal, that is a sword."
"A sword?"
The king was confused but grabs the black stick and inspects the black stick.
He recalls a weapon from his past life.
And realizes that it is indeed a sword.
"A shirasaya, it was hard to recognize because of the shape."
He pulls out the sword from it's scabbard, and he was surprised.
He gazes at the sword's translucent teal blade.
"A unique blade indeed. But how will I take it with me?"
"Once you reincarnate, in your right hand's finger you will see a ring.
If you are in battle, imagine the ring taking shape of the sword you have now and it will change into a sword.
This blade can only be used by you, and it will grow with you.
As your body keeps growing the sword will adjust itself to your current height and change it's heaviness to what suits you.
The more stronger you get, the sword will also grow stronger."
"Just like I said truly a precious gift."
"Alright now that you are ready, I'll begin your reincarnation."
And just like that a blinding darkness swallowed the king's sight.
_
And after a little bit, the king saw a light and he slowly went towards there.
He reaches the light, and he could feel someone grabbing and holding him.
His eyesight was blurry and but he could see the figure of the many people.
It wasn't long before he could hear the voices of the individuals.
"THE PRINCE IS BORN MY KING!"
The person yelled while he holds the newborn prince.
'I can understand what they are saying, looks like the divine protection of the sage is working.'
The person holding him hands him over to another individual.
The individual held him in his arms and raised him uphigh.
"YOU WILL BE THE ONE TO FULFILL THE PROPHECY! MY SON!"
"My king! The prince isn't crying usually a newborn baby will cry after given birth.
He truly is someone special!
What will be his name?"
"What name is indeed worthy to the one that will fulfill the prophecy."
The newborn baby looks at the individual holding him, the individual seems to be in deep thought for his name.
"I HAVE DECIDED! ARTHUR YOUR NAME WILL BE ARTHUR MY SON THAT WILL FULFILL MY DREAM AND THE PROPHECY!
YOU WILL INHERIT THE NAME VOLLACHIA
YOU ARE NOW ARTHUR VOLLACHIA
MY PRIDE AND JOY!"
The newborn baby only stared at his now father with an apathetic expression.
'Hmm now at what age will I run away from this kingdom'
Arthur was already thinking his escape as soon as he was born.
The moment he heard that he was a prince, he was already thinking on what age will he leave this kingdom.
His father puts him into his crib and leaves his room laughing.
Then a little girl entered, she had long red blonde hair that shined like the sun and her eyes blood red of unwavering will.
The little girl went up and gazed at Arthur in his crib.
"So you are my lovely little brother,I will introduce myself.
My name is Priscilla Benedict
I am your older sister."
The little girl says to Arthur that was just staring at her.
'Should I leave at the age of four? Four sounds good.'
With that the life of Arthur Vollachia begins.
