The King is Different


This room is very luxurious just for a place to rest in my opinion and too elegant for a person like me who just felt something like this.


It seems like the King had a certain purpose as to why he brought me here it was obvious that he would do bad things to me.


At the value of when he dragged me into the portal, more suspicious when he took me into his room, I'm sure.


"Don't get me wrong, I brought you here to show you something. Come here, follow me!" tell the king to me and I will follow him.


It turned out that I had wrongly accused the King of doing bad things to me.


I entered the other room in the King's room and showed me a small golden chest that was likely locked.


He then explained to me what the contents of the chest were said to be a forbidden book that allowed one to traverse space and time.


Although at first I was just a listener, but in one of his words the King said that this book is able to connect the alternate world.


Which made me interested in the book that the King was talking about.


The rule is, if a person returns to where he came from there is a chance that he will be different body than before. The reason is simple, because the time in this mysterious world and my residence is far different from the time in this place.


But for example I came back I still seem to have a chance to live, only there is a major problem that I will face after the incident I was declared dead.


What is certain is that I was already in the ground and after I came back in the sense of myself dying, I found even bigger problems.


The king then explained the time difference between this world and the alternate world that 1 minute in this mysterious world is equal to 20 minutes of alternate worlds.


A day is equal to 1140 minutes so there is a small chance that I can come back to life.


"God, I never told myself to be careful with someone or the information he gave me. Then I will confirm the existence spoken by the King."


"So what's the reason Your Majesty showed me this chest, as far as I'm concerned Your Majesty has the ambition to exterminate the incapable human race?" ask me after the King has finished explaining about the book in the crate.


"Of course to take you away from this cursed world, for only two people have the chance to go with the forbidden book!"


"What Your Majesty doesn't know is that the time difference between this world is very different from the alternate world, I think when His Majesty returns will be..."


"Indeed the reality is as you think, but I have a way to deal with it, as long as you want to come with me."


He seemed very enthusiastic when he suggested that I go with him through the tantalizing lure.


Anyone may accept an offer from the King, but in my heart I refuse, and I will say it clearly to him.


"What does Your Majesty like about me, continues His Majesty's ambition on humans not capable of how?"


"Actually the problem is with this coffin that locked the forbidden book, and the key according to divination can only be created by the human race is not capable!"


The more I thought about it the more dizzy my head was even from the start I better choose not to follow it.


"And for what you said just now I do like you."


And this is the worst part that I have to repay his feelings wisely so as not to offend him, even if I make him angry my fate might be as tragic as my other colleagues.


And at the end of the horn. I don't want that.


"But... Is it true that the King is not penetrated by the ability to enter my memory? Then I'll try again."


The king apparently knew when I was about to enter his memory, even though I looked as normal as possible so as not to be discovered. But there are still things that get me caught.


As a result of that I was in this awkward situation, and I did not know what to say to explain it to the King.


"... I'm sorry I was.." I said a little face down embarrassed.


"It's up to you to do, but I remind you that you can't use that ability on me. And we'll work together to take control of the territory of the powerless human race, having found the right person to make the keys to this coffin!"


He then sauntered away after he finished talking without telling me where he was going, it felt like I just dumped him.


A few minutes passed after waiting for news from the King someone knocked on the door of this room and told me to meet my colleague who was previously held hostage.


Now I am in the dining room with a long table that has been filled with royal delicacies.


Just like a banquet in general with an elegant feel.


I saw Yin glancing towards me as I entered this room, only a few seconds did she just run towards me and hug me as usual accompanied by sobbing Isaac, while Ryu and Lisa and her chosen companion were sitting at the dining table with flat expressions.


They seem to behave cautiously in these circumstances.


Then the king told me and the others to eat together. There was no chatter on the sidelines of eating that there was only the sound of the clinking of a fork and knife.


After that I was taken to a place by the King without the assistance of the soldiers, and the King made it clear that I would not speak to my comrades first.


He took me to a place where many glass containers filled with liquid and human-shaped specimens.


After exiting the kingdom after passing through the portal that he used as a means of moving.


"This is the secret place of the experiments I've been doing all this time!" said the King turned his body on the sidelines of his conversation.


"Did Your Majesty use a person of the human race as an object of experimentation?"


"You know a lot of it turns out, that's why I like you. Your thinking is actually broad, it only takes dedication so that you become better than before. And I can make that happen!" the king said as he brought his face closer to me, making me feel uneasy.


Though what he was proud of me honestly made me a bit upset and did not describe myself with broad-mindedness.


Even though his face looks young and handsome, he is a bad person. As far as I know, his age according to my count has turned 43 years old.


"Sorry Your Majesty, I think something like this is too dangerous!" I said reasoned that to stop what he was going to do, he was getting closer to me.


"What is that, explain it!"


"Emm..."


Some time I did not answer so the King looked lazily at me and chose to go ahead to a glass container containing someone in a state of nudity.


I followed him from behind to see that person up close and he was Kino.


"Kino. what is he, not that he has vanished from this world. Why did he become one of the King's guinea pigs?"


Of course this makes me wonder. Where I am, what I am, and who I am.


"He is someone who has extraordinary abilities, fortunately I had a part of his body before the tragic incident befell this young man until he died and vanished in the attack" explained the King to me, while I was just staring at the glass container that locked Kino inside.
