Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 1: PROLOGUE
"Eh where am I? why is everything bright? oh glare!!" the young man was confused.his last memory was when he crashed a plane with thousands of Tons of bombs into the enemy headquarters.it must have been dead.In him he wondered.is this heaven? or hell?
during his life he hardly believed in a God-like existence. let alone heaven or hell.well, in a world that was almost entirely with hedonistic and materialistic life, the beliefs he professed were indeed common. well that doesn't mean he has a bad view of religion or god.
but he wondered, where exactly is he? is this the line between life and death? while he continued to wonder, suddenly a beam of light appeared in front of him.
"Welcome to my palace young man." a figure of a man suddenly appeared before him. his body was tall strapping. his black hair was combed to the side. his wibaw was very strong. The young man could not even move, he was unable to move, fascinated with his extraordinary aura, but he did not want to give up. he still raised his head and looked at the figure.
"heh, interesting.usually those who meet with me will at least bow their heads and kneel. yet you even dare to look at my face and stand firm. as expected of the one who dares to break through to the enemy headquarters huh."
the young man was astonished.the figure before him knew about his actions.not to be mistaken anymore.is he a true god? while he was thinking, the young man ventured to speak.
"are you a god? god's? to be honest even now is completely unable to move my body. Could it be because of your aura?" the figure in front of him nodded.
" well you're right. I'm a god or something. My name is Hades. I'm a god who was shifted to the lower realms.well why I was shifted to the lower realms is not important. well now I'll explain all the questions you have in mind, so listen carefully, son Thomas."
The young man named Thomas, hearing all the explanations of the god named Hades, where he stands now is Hades' palace.he is a god that symbolizes darkness and darkness does not mean evil. in the realm of gods there are about 12 holy gods.and Hades is the 13th. he is considered as an irregularity and fought by the 12 other gods, he went to the underworld and decided to stay away from war in the god realm.
he is the only god who has access to Thomas's world so that Hades can witness what is happening in Thomas's world, including the war that is raging, he led the poor soul into his palace.It means Thomas who is now a soul.
" meaning you intend to reincarnate myself into another world, do you?" Hades nodded.
" that's right. how? do you want to?" Thomas thought for a moment, then shook his head.
" Hades-sama, do you know why I chose death? in my previous life I had 15 lovers. they all got along very well with me. That's why I swore to protect them even if my life was the stakes, one by one they died, they all died on the battlefield.
when that happened, I felt that my raison d'etre had disappeared. For me life was completely worthless.that is why I chose to end my life. hope the war is over and no one else will feel lost.of course I hope in my heart, although I did not believe in the divine entity, to meet them in the realm of death. so I thought I'd turn down your offer.Thank you Hades-sama, but I can't accept your blessing."
hearing Thomas's explanation, Hades laughed, not expecting Thomas's answer, but he was, after all, a god, an entity beyond human reach. he didn't need to hear Thomas's answer to that.
"nah son of Thomas, even though you say so.." there came a light to emasan shining on Thomas's soul.
" maybe in your next life you will meet a lot of tests, whether it's sadness, pain, loss, happiness or whatever. so live as a real man. Well that's all from me. I have given a number of my strength to you so just calm down. see you son. live as well as possible."
Thomas who felt his body heavy began to lose his consciousness.In his mind he said that living for the second time as a real man was not at all a bad thing. before falling into unconsciousness, he thanked Hades for the opportunity he gave.
instantly, Thomas fell into unconsciousness.
