The Ruler of the Night

The Ruler of the Night
I want to be like him too!


"Yeah..."


Baek Tian let out a long sigh.


"Why did this happen to me?"


Baek Tian's. Sixty three years. A merchant. He was once a swordsman.


"How many times have I seen it..."


Now he was lamenting in front of a gigantic golden statue in the middle of the capital square.


"I should be the one who became emperor and gained fame like that person."


Once again Baek Tian let out a long sigh and shook his head repeatedly.


He recalled the time he was in the academy along with the person who became the emperor in this kingdom. His name was Tang Zihan.


Tang Zihan was a talented person. It is said that his talent only exists once every million years.


It can be said if it is too much, but that is the reality.


"At nine years old, he could be an expert."


That was the reality, Tang Zihan was a monster amongst monsters. Someone who was destined to be emperor of this land.


Suppose this is a novel world then he alone is the only protagonist here.


Even so Baek Tian was still struggling at that time. He did not give up at all with his dream.


He was sure that if he kept trying to work as hard as the possessed from morning until night, twenty-four hours, he would surpass Tang Zihan.


But what happened, he was declared paralyzed and could not use the power at all in his lifetime.


Baek Tian spent his days in a wheelchair and the years passed in an instant, he continued to hear Tang Zihan's achievements day after day. There was not a single day left without a word regarding Tang Zihan's achievements.


And today, as a form of respect for himself serving as Emperor, Tang Zihan obtained a golden statue of him.


"Damn!"


Baek Tian hit his own leg. He bit his lips until they bled and cursed the sky by pointing at them.


"I don't accept it!"


"I don't take this!"


"No! Nah! Nah! No!"


He kept shouting like that in the square.


The people who passed by and were around him thought that person was crazy.


"Where is justice for me!"


Baek Tian turned his wheelchair lethargic. He has no spirit at all.


"I think I just want to die..."


***


In the palace.


Tang Zihan smiled at the scene below.


"Everything looks small from here."


He smiled as he looked at the residents and the buildings below him like little ants and their pebble-like houses.


The palace that Tang Zihan occupied himself was like a golden tower that was extremely high above a mountain but still under the sky.


"And soon, it's not just this..."


Tang Zihan started laughing. He was almost the ruler of this continent.


"A little more."


He had a power of over eighty percent, remaining twenty more and himself would truly become the ruler of the continent.


"Let's leave you all that's left now. Stupid vampire king, Cecilion!"


Tang Zihan chuckled with a swipe of his hair until he began to laugh out loud holding his stomach.


"Tomorrow is the day. I can't wait to hunt you down, little bat."


"Kahahahahaha-!!!"


***


The morning. Baek Tian got up early in the morning and started the day by relaxing his hands.


He had to do that every day because the remaining body parts of him only stayed both hands.


Therefore he must take good care of her, he takes care of her by relaxing her by stretching and exercising every morning.


"alright. Let's go."


After finishing performing the morning ritual, now Baek Tian was ready to start the day.


He traded weapons and fighting equipment. The good thing he got was also nothing as he was just a salesman who resold from another weapon shop.


"Welcome to our gun shop!"


Baek Tian smiled broadly welcoming his first customer.
