THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 1: THE PRIZE
Myro slowly opened his eyes heavily to find that he was in a room that only had white color.
No matter how far Myro looked, he could only find white without any objects around.
Myro sat down and held his slightly aching head, he stared around muttering "Actually what's going on here? Don't I have to go to school, why can I be in this weird place-".
Myro's words came to a halt when he found dozens of people lined up in this white room, finally there was someone else in this place.
Without the slightest hesitation, Myro stood up quickly and walked towards the group of people who were marching it "What are you doing here? Where are we at now?".
The people lined up looking towards Myro were like finding a strange person, Myro was very confused towards the gaze "What's wrong? Is there something strange about my face? I was asleep so I hadn't seen my own situation".
An old man stepped forward slightly as he asked "Son, do you really not know where you are now?".
Myro shook his head "I don't know? Are we in a room? But this room is so weird, it's all just white, I can't even tell where the walls are. Is this the latest technology to create a white room without walls?".
The old man sighed sadly "This is not the earth, we are all dead".
After that the old man did not speak any more, he again marched without noticing Myro any more.
Not only the old man, the other people were also back in line in a cold manner.
"Have died? What-what-" when Myro was about to ask even more then he suddenly felt a headache.
Amidst the headache, some memories appeared in Myro's head.
The memory was none other than when Myro saw a child who was passing the road, but on the other hand was a car that moved very quickly without noticing the whereabouts of the child.
Seeing all that, Myro who was ready to go to school without hesitation threw away his bag and ran towards the child.
He encouraged the boy to avoid a car collision, but instead Myro was the one who was hit by the car.
The speed of the car was very fast, maybe the driver of the car had fallen asleep which caused Myro to fly tens of meters due to the collision, he could only live for a few more minutes to find those around him who were panicking before closing his eyes.
Myro regained his senses and shouted in disbelief "I'm really dead!".
The entire crowd looked back at the noisy Myro coldly.
Myro smiled shyly at the cold stares of the people, he knew that he was too noisy which made people annoyed so that Myro could only hold his head in shame.
Since Myro was no longer noisy then they did not stare at him any longer, they re-lined while recalling their past sadly.
The line was too running, Myro stood following the line with a blank face.
Although Myro is not a smart person in the classroom, at least he is in the middle and there is no problem to find a job.
But everything was destroyed, he was now dead and had to wait in this line to determine what he should do next.
Time passed, the ranks of dozens of people continued to decrease until Myro arrived at the very front.
Myro found a woman with silver hair as well as white wings behind her standing opposite Myro.
Observing Myro from top to bottom, the woman said "What did you do to die at such a young age?".
Without waiting for Myro's reply, the woman took out a pile of papers to examine the last piece of paper.
Reading the paper, the woman said a little surprised "You helped a god not get hit by a car? I don't know if you're unlucky to die at such a young age or so lucky to be able to gain the gratitude of a god".
The slightly confused Myro said hesitantly "God? Waitaminute! That little kid who almost got hit by that car is a god?".
The woman did not answer Myro but merely waved her hand "I cannot answer your question, rather this is not my duty. I'd better take you to see Mr. Rater, he's the one you've been helping and waiting for your arrival".
The woman immediately walked away, Myro who was still not very understanding began to follow the woman.
They walked quite far between this place that only had this white color, Myro was a little confused as to how this woman found the right path in this strange place.
The woman continued to bring Myro to the front of the door, knocking politely on the door before saying "Master Rater, the guest you've been waiting for has finally arrived".
"All right?", a child's voice rang out from behind the door "Then let him come here, I must repay his kindness".
Hearing Rater's words, the woman turned towards Myro "I only brought you here, Mr. Rater is already waiting behind this door".
Myro nodded, opening the door to find a small room behind the door.
In the room there is only a table with 2 chairs facing each other, on a chair in the room there is a child who has been sitting there, the child was none other than the child who almost got hit by the car.
"Myro Aras isn't it? I've been waiting for you here long enough, come sit down!", said Rater who pointed towards the seat in front of him, although he still looks like a 10-year-old child, Myro feels that this child is a little more mature than it seems.
Myro took a breath before stepping forward to sit on the chair that was in front of the child, they were now facing each other.
Rater prepared a warm tea for Myro and gave it to him carefully, after which he said again "I'm very grateful for your help. Although I won't die from being hit by a car, but I will still feel the pain. Therefore, I can give you a gift, as long as it is not excessive then I will help you get it. But I can't bring you back to earth, at least wait another 500 years for you to return to earth".
"Is that power? I can't give you the power to destroy a planet with a single blow, however I myself can't do that. But at least you'll be stronger than most people, or you need power? Being a child of the royal family? or maybe a prince? Tell me, what did you choose as a gift for your kindness?".
