Archipelago: the lost king
chapter 1-other world

A young man walked over with his cold expression. Wearing a black jacket and headseat attached to his ear.

His appearance was so cold and mysterious, making everyone who saw him feel a chill from him.

"Ah... It's time to rest." he murmured softly.

He is Noran Sanders, a quiet student.

He is currently in the 2nd grade, almost time for the first semester's preliminary exam.

"Ah... Tiring day." he murmured softly.

Today, it was a tiring day for Noran, in addition to many tasks, a long practice.

In addition, he had to practice alone because his group mates did not leave.

Noran walked leisurely and ignored the surroundings, not caring for the cynical gazes of everyone who saw him.

"Basic... Gossip monger.." murmured Noran.

After a while, Noran arrived at his house. A simple little house.

There are 2 bedrooms in this house, but only one that Noran uses, because Noran only lives alone in this house.

"It's lonely.." murmured Noran.

Noran put his bag in the corner of the room, and laid himself on a thin, rather hard mattress.

Bruuuk....

"A tiring day, why the hell didn't he leave?" noran muttered.

While in his daydream, a voice sounded from Noran's wardrobe.

Gubrak...

"What's that?" noran.

Noran got up and approached towards his wardrobe. The sound came from his closet.

Gubrak...

The sound comes from the bottom drawer of the closet. The drawers are dull and musty, and full of dust.

"The bottom drawer?" noran muttered.

Noran tried to open it, however, the ledi locked firmly.

"Locked? Where's key?" thought Noran.

It's been a long time this drawer's been locked and the key's gone somewhere. Noran had tried repeatedly to open it, but the drawer never managed to open.

Gubrak...

The sound of a bang from inside the drawer grew clearer, like something was trying to get out.

Noran was increasingly convinced that in this drawer there was something strange.

"Whatis that? I have to open it." said Noran.

Noran then tried to pull the drawer like the last time he tried to open it.

However, it still failed, Even the handle of the drawer is now detached due to the pull from Noran.

Tests...

A small needle emerged from the handle and pierced into Noran's finger, making him drip blood.

"Ah... Why is there a needle?" noran.

Test test...

Blood droplets flowed along the carved handle of the drawer. Within a few moments, the needle re-entered the handle.

Shrinks....

A deep red light emerged from between the drawers, a creaking sound rang out, like an ancient mechanism.

Sreet....

The drawer miraculously opened, the shock getting louder and louder, something shining appeared in the sky of the room sky.

"What's that?" noran.

A yellowish glint appeared in the sky of the sky, shining so brightly and drifting over.

With the indentation of the blade and has a distinctive motif, a dragon-carved hilt-shaped handle, and a blood-red gem in his eyes.

The look was so dashing and luxurious, making Noran surprised to see it.

"Whatis that? A keris?" noran.

Keris floated back, the curious Noran, trying to pick up the keris, but it was difficult.

Keris dodged quickly. After repeatedly trying, Noran finally managed to obtain the kris.

"Why can this fly?" thought Noran.

The events of traditional flying weapons were very strange to Noran, but that was what happened to him at this time.

the drawer glowed brightly, as if a red light illuminated it. Noran approached him and found a book so dull and dusty.

covers of animal skins, dull and seedy, in addition, there are characters on the cover of the book.

such a strange script, Noran had never seen this script.with the strings of some sort of sturdy rope, bound to old sheets of paper.

"an old book? what book is this?" noran muttered.

Noran knelt down, and took the book that was in the drawer.although it was dull and old, the book was good, there was not even the slightest tear in it.

slowly, Noran swept the book cover, clearing it from the dust, the strange characters looking increasingly clear.

"what is this?" thought Noran.

Noran opened the book, the first page of the book surprised him.It turned out that it was the alphabet for every character, even the normal alphabet was well written on the book.

Noran looked down at the book, written the year it was made, 765 A. D. It had been a very long time, this made Noran surprised.

"765 a.m? isn't this book very old?" thought Noran.

Noran then looked at the entire script, taking a long time for Noran to know the differences in characters, as some were almost the same.

1 Hour passed...

"so that's the action." thought Noran.

Noran opened the next page, a sheet filled with characters and a strange diagram on the other sheet.

[this book is called the book of Saloka, it was created for the future guidance of my grandchildren.

each page contains important lessons, use this book well. If you open this book, then it is your destiny to inherit my legacy, my grandchildren.]

....

Noran read the paragraph with a strange feeling, as if, there was a deep message from his grandfather that was so penetrated into his soul.

"what is this message?" noran muttered.

Noran then continued to look at the book again, a circular diagram that was bright red in color.

[two sides of life, good and bad, a never-ending circle.]

that is what is written around the circle, with a large script in the middle.

[king]

surrounded by beautiful, thorny flowers, as if to protect it from something.

[maybe your life will change completely. With this, accept your destiny and become my successor, my grandson.

take care of yourself, because the world is so hard than you think.]

the last message below the third page.with this, the reddish light shines even brighter.

the orange afternoon sun turned blood red, the wind roared strongly and the waves rolled high.

the earth shook strongly, the atmosphere became so boisterous this afternoon.

inside Noran's room, a red mist enveloped him, opening the dimensional portal and pulling him inside.

another dimension connected to the earth, the mystic realm, the world filled with power, magic and the absurdly powerful martial arts....

....

a few moments later....

in an instant, a completely different world appeared before Noran. a red brick, towering structure with candles on the table and a burning torch on its wall.

"where is this?" noran.
