Emperor's Reckoning-Chapter 4: I Miss You

In the backside of a castle was a rectangle space wide enough to contain a small city. Bunch of odd things was placed inside the space such as a floating rock with the word "Deo" engraved on it, a large hexagonal arena, a building which contains books of magic and skills, a building that sells weapons, armor and accessories, an alchemy building and another building called "Guild". All sorts of people can be seen enjoying the facilities, mostly the young ones.

Two women and one man could be seen approaching the floating rock, one of the women had an aura of a royalty and beautiful silver hair while the other one is a purple short-haired woman with a maid outfit. The man, however, looks really not belong with the two other women, he got patched all over his body only leaving his right eye out and a mouth along with disheveled long hair like a beggar.

"Ah greetings your majesty," said the surrounding crowd while giving a bow

"Good afternoon to you all, it's alright keep doing what you doing," said Sylviana.

"Thank you, your majesty."

"Hmm? who is that beggar walking with the majesty?" said one of the citizen

"Shh! don't you know he is the person that comes from above," said another citizen

"you mean the guy with the impaled butt?"

"Yeah, that's the one."

Lyon's ear was twitching like crazy as he walked along with the two woman and warm liquid starts building in his eyes. (It's not my choice to be transferred here naked!) thought Lyon as he could only swallow his opinion. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

"Mommy mommy look, it's that the God from yesterday?" said a little girl

"Yes honey, that's the one," said the mother

"Yeay I can see a God, but what God is he?"

"Umm I don't know, what do you think?"

"Ummm..... ah, I got it, mommy, his probably the God of butt because that's the first thing he showed us when he came from the light."

The warm liquid starts falling, slowly from his eyes onto his cheeks. He then looked at the two women in front and his pupil started shrinking. They are actually smiling evilly with their teeth shown but somehow the citizen didn't aware of it.

(THIS IS YOUR PLAN ALL ALONG ISN'T IT, THIS IS WHAT YOUR 'HEHEHE' MEANT BACK IN THE ROOM, ALRIGHT TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME, REVENGE SHALL BE MINE !!) thought Lyon as his vow of vengeance instantly dried up his tears.

Besides the floating stone was a well built old man with long white hair and a really long white beard, the wrinkle in his face seems didn't do justice to what merits he had done for the kingdom.

"Good Afternoon your majesty, how can I help you this time," a deep voice came from the old man.

"Please stop messing with me uncle Zitian just call me Little Sylvi like you used to" a shade of red appeared on Sylviana cheeks.

"Hahaha I still can't believe how you are already an adult, seems like it was yesterday you keep begging me to fly,"

"Uncle Zitian please," the shade becomes deeper as she pouting.

"Good afternoon grandmaster Zitian," said Fei with a bow.

"Ah, little Fei you are still single?"

"Sadly there is no man worthy of me yet," sighed Fei.

"Hahaha okay okay, who is this young man?"

"He is Lyon, the man from the curtain lights yesterday," said Sylviana.

"Oh I see, very interesting indeed," said Zitian.

"What's so interesting about him grandmaster?".

"The people in this world should have one channel in/out to absorb/release mana, while he has three channels," said Zitian as he rubbed his beard.

A shocked face enters the two women as they look at Lyon more carefully like an alien while Lyon's mouth is stretching wider and wider.

"Well actually I don't know how or what will become of him but in theory, he should be three times more efficient in everything related to mana but then again it's only theory. Why don't you just try and touch the floating rock."

"What does the rock do?" asked Lyon. He was here not even for a week, it's normal for him to be skeptical.

"More or less it should count your talents, numbers will appear according to the stone reaction and if your number is high enough your name may be engraved in the 'monument of talent' list," said Fei.

"The highest talent so far is reached by Jiangnu with the number of 284669 from the kingdom of Arcana behind him is Xiaxia with a number of 280677 from the kingdom of Meistas and yes this monument is only for the young talent below 25 years old," said Sylvianna.

"Then what about your kingdom?" asked Lyon.

His question was answered by the sighed of the three people. (Ah, your kingdom suck isn't it).

"No one ever makes it to the monument," said Fei

"Alright, I got it, your majesty I have a proposal to make," asked Lyon.

"Hahaha you are one interesting boy, to make a proposal with the ruler of this kingdom out of the bat," said Zitian.

"What proposal?" asked Sylviana coldly

"If I can engrave my name in the monument you and I will have a date, and if I somehow I take the first place I will date both you and Fei, oh and you will also pay for the expenses during the date."

Space paused as time stopped flowing. Their brain couldn't digest what the hell did he just said.

"HAHAHAHA I like this kid," said Zitian laughing hysterically.

Sylviana's face was red like the sun is about to take cover from her heat "You shameless bastard!! why don't you just go die instead!!".

"Calm down Sylviana," said Fei, "personally I have no qualms with that, but what's in it for us if you couldn't be engraved?" winked Fei

"I will become your slave and you can do anything you want with me be it charging the enemy or washing your clothes."

"Alright deal," said Sylviana.

"Miss?" asked Fei curiously.

"I'm sure he can't do it, besides I can prepare a whole lot of punishment if he is my slave, I can make sure he is in pain."

"But he has three channels, miss."

"I know but I don't want to lose to this bastard, besides, it is only in theory" whispered Sylviana.

"Okay deal!" said Lyon (Here we go, I'm from another world maybe even universe or dimension I don't care, I should be the MC right?! I should have super cheat items or superb talent right? Don't fail me now !!) as Lyon extended his hand and touch the "DEO" with his palm.

With confidence that was beyond the might of a dragon, he smirked. However, the stone didn't react at all.

(shit) "Uhm...what now? hehe," asked Lyon to the three other people while laughing

"HAHAHA, you are so talentless that it has no reaction at all I win the-"

*BOOM

Thunder and lightning intertwined with each other despite no clouds. Everyone felt their hair standing as creeping feeling crawling up their spine. Not even Zitian could escape this feeling.

A big blow of wind came from every corner to random directions as the people watched the sky in horror. There was a sight that people like them should not see, they were not powerful enough to understand the situation. Only a select few knew what was happening.

"DID THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN?" shouted Lyon to Zitian.

"NO usually the reaction would be a manifest of mythical beings like a dragon or a qilin or a kunpeng, heck even a unicorn ever showed up before, but not this, this is a fucking apocalypse!!" said Zitian while standing straight despite the wind.

A black curtain light suddenly came down as the cracking noise of a ruptured space was heard. Zitian tried to ready himself but he knew that he was powerless, even his body told him to pray.

Unlike the rest of them, Lyon pupils shrank at the sight. He didn't feel the fear everyone else was having, instead, a longing for the unknown. The feeling he didn't know was strengthened as something came out of the black curtain of light.

It was a figure of a really beautiful woman with black devilish wings behind her back. Then, an alluring voice that could make men lost their mind, entered Lyon's ears, "I miss you."
