《New Life -》 Chapter 1: I command you! "Mwhahahaha this is to ironic!" I let out a loud laughter asI was finally able to realize what had taken place. It''s been one day since I took over this body known as Elijah. Since then I was able to take on all of his knowledge and understanding of this world. At first I thought I''d have some kind of power, but alas I was just a ordinary human in a different world after all. The maids looked at me as I hystericallylaughed to myself. Ah they must think i''ve gone crazy. Maybe I have? No no i''m definitely sane even though I did kill myself... but that''s for another time. I stared into the mirror examining my body, and let out a sad sigh. Short black hair, average height, slighly pale skin isnt this my original body after all. Well i guess my eyes are blue now instead. In this new world I was the young King of the worst Kingdom in the world. There were only five human kingdoms. We lacked the populace, economy, and power of any of the other four. I don''t have much knowledge of any non-human kingdoms but I''d assume we''d rank below any of their kingdoms. With my parents the previous King, and Queen dying in the last week I was thrust into the role of King as the only heir to the throne. It seems the previous Elijah wasn''t up to the task. Since there was nothing I could do about this situation I might as well see how far I can take this. I''ve played CIV before it shouldn''t be to hard right... only against the A.I and on easy... I did usually quit after a hour but still! "I Elijah Vi Britannia command you! gather my right hand!" "Uhh.. K-King??" Damn! I promised myself a day ago I wouldn''t abuse this power. This poor maid has probably already fallen for me sadly. "Can you gather the council." "Y-Yes my King." It would of been nice to have a cool power. I let out a sigh as I walked to the gathering room. The worst part about this new world had to of been the lack of cigarettes. At least there where tobacco pipes I guess. I sighed as a maid lit the end of my pipe with magic, and I inhaled the smoke deep into my lungs.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. "Even my maids have more abilities then me." "Sorry my King." Is this how it is when you have maids I thought? So uptight. After waiting for a whilethree people finally entered the room. Mikel who was in his mid 30''s commanded the army. I didnt recall speaking to him much, but he seemed like a serious person. He was all muscle with a tan-skinned body that was covered in scars, and bright blonde hair. Sasha was in her early 20''s, and took care of the finances. She had a small build with pale skin, that contrasted with her dark black hair. The final person to enter was Jorg. He was a older man with wrinkles covering his body, and almost pure white hair. I didn''t really know what he did though I guess he was taking care of the populace. I coughed twice as everyone sat down to begin my greetings. "It''s good to see my loyal retainers all gathered before me." Ah the way everyones looking at me is scary. Now what did I do first in CIV... I shoulda thought this over before calling them. Yes yes first I scouted! and then I made money. I don''t think I ever beat the computer though. Well I don''t need to scout since I already have the memories of this world right. It was then that my first Idea came to me. "The goal in calling everyone here is of utmost importance to the Kingdom! I dare say we will be wiped off the face of this world in no time if we can''t accompish this task." My loyal retainers looked at me dead serious now. Yes this is life and death i''m not so foolish as to treat this as a free life since I didn''t care anymore. "We must become... RICH!" All three of them let out a sigh as their hope in me seemed to vanish even though i was serious. "No No think about it right were the worst Kingdom no matter how you look at it right? If we are able to become the richest that means we can do whatever we want!" "And how do you plan on having us make money?" Sasha''s rebuttal was a critical hit. I had thought my finical advisor would side with me on this, but I still had a plan. With a serious look I stood up from my seat, and the three looked at me expectantly. I took a inhale of the pipe, as I looked out the window towards the setting sun. "Thats why I have summoned my three loyal retainers. I believe in you all good luck." I''m not gonna lie I looked pretty dam cool. But before I knew it the only one left in the room was my maid. "I was cool though right?" "Uh Y-Yes your majesty!" I knew it.
Chapter 2: Shock n Awe A week slowly passed, and it seems my kingdom hasn''t became a wealthy nation yet. Honestly I was disappointed in my retainers. I might have to get things done my self. You would thing being from a more advanced world I could think of something, but I alas barely finished High School. I shoulda been a engineer or something then I would of been prepared for this. Anyways a King''s duty was to give orders that his people would figure out how to accomplish right? So I already did my part. Steve Jobs didn''t make the Iphone he just thought of it! Seeing as nothing was getting done I had a backup plan though. There was a group of dark elves living in a nearby forest. If I could recruit them to join the kingdom then we would surely have our fighting power increase. And it was boring in the castle. Skillfully I snuck out of the castle in the middle of the day, and made my journey to the elves territory. After a few hours of walking I found myself lost in the forest. "This dam King never learned how to ride a horse." As I cursed to myself I encounter a dark elf on the road. "Hello mighty dark elf I come in peace." I spoke King like a bowed. "?" Infront of me the young dark elf looking to be 13 was staring at me with a confused face, but I knew it all a lie! "You can''t fool me! I know your at least 300 years old oh wise elf!" As if I would be fooled by such a thing. It''s common knowledge elves appearance, and age never seem as they are. As I confidently stared down my elder she suddenly collapsed to the ground with tears streaming down her face. "Whats going on!?"This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. "I''m not that ugly!!!" For some reason I found myself consoling the elf as if she was a kid urging her to stop crying. Was I fooled? "Ah young elf girl I am sorry for my earlier remarks could you perhaps show me to your village I am lost." But the elf wouldn''t stop crying. I couldn''t be defeated here though, I was a King after all so I resorted to my last plan. Valiantly I got down on one knee infront of the elf, and brushed her long black hair aside. "Would you like a sweet miss elf?" I could hear the crying slowly come to a stop as I pulled a cookie from my pocket. No questions. The girls eyes changed, and she pulled the cookie from my hand, as she devoured it. ''Success!'' I yelled out inside my head. My skill can''t be rivaled in this world after all. "Your looking for our camp?" "Yes." Looking at me a little better she lead me to her camp which was only a few minute from where we currently were. When the girl/wise elf lead me into her camp over thirty elves suddenly pointed their arrows towards me. "HaHaHa you dare aim your arrows at your King!?" The elves didn''t look amused, as they kept their arrows pointed at me. "W-Wait its true!" The young elf said. A loud gasp could be heard from the elves. Yes Yes my aura must be immaculate right now to cause such a fear in these dark elves. I will do my best not to betray your feelings as your King though. "Your highness you!? To this human?" "Yes he made his vows to me a-and I accepted." The young dark elf blushed as she finished her sentence which put me on guard. Something is off here, there seems to be a misunderstanding somewhere. "He suddenly got down on one knee, and asked me to be his sweet." All of a sudden all the elves had huddled around the girl leaving me outside of the circle, as they talked to her for a while. After their discussion the elves all turned around, and got down on one knee. "We shall acknowledge you as our King." Of course of course it must be my Kingly aura after all that has convinced these mighty dark elves to follow me. They all followed me back to the Kingdom. As we walked back I secretly asked a older looking elf how old that girl was. The reply shocked me 13! But but thats not legal right as long as she was 300 but looked 13 it would of been fine right!? Is there even age of conset in this world anways?? If I wait 5 years it would be fine though right... And so my long four hour voyage outside of the Kingdom was a success, as I returned home with my elf wife.
