《King System》 "The Man-Lover" I remember joking about getting the crown when I was a young lad but I never thought my joke was going to be true. I still remember the day when the messenger delivered me the letter, I was down with the flu at the time and I was wasting my time collecting slime, I know it is a weird hobby but I liked it. Back then my family''s name was unheard of, we were a small branch family of the royal family and ruled a small area in the snowy mountains. Unlike my family I wasn''t born with a resistance to cold and I frequently got sick, they always used heating slimes to heal me and that was how my slime hobby was born. But that''s enough background, I was lying on my bed while a heating smile was walking on my face. I couldn''t see the look on the messenger''s face because of that. If I saw that, I am pretty sure I would have rejected the offer but I didn''t see it, he simply said. "Count Servius von Markell, the crown of Pervisia falls to you. Us, the regency council wait for your arrival." After hearing the messenger read the letter, I got up and started to dress up. I didn''t care about who died and how I was able to inherit the throne. I turned to the messenger with a proud smile on my face, I was filled with joy. "I assume my carriage is waiting outside?" "Y-Yes." The messenger said in a scared tone. I did a big mistake by not noticing his tone or his face, I was a damned fool that just got a kingdom. After riding in the carriage for days, I finally arrived at the throne room. I still wore my blue shirt with black roses on it. Of course, I also wore my family medals, there were four of them hanging from my chest. I looked around and the first thing I noticed was the friction between the factions. There were four groups of people that were in the throne room. The military, the nobility, the clergy and the normal ones. This was the third sign telling me to decline the offer but my joy clouded my eyes. The pope was waiting for me near the throne and I slowly walked to it, I was making a show out of this and when I sit on the throne, nobody clapped.A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. It was at that moment I realized, I should have declined the offer but it was too late, the simple golden crown was on my head and tons of information appeared before me like a screen.

This was a tradition in our kingdom. When a father was offering their girl, they would offer her via an envelope. These were basically marriage proposals by four factions. I had to pick one of them but my relationship with them was already quite low and I needed to think a solution to it and then I found it. "My apologies but I prefer a man." At that moment this answer seemed like the perfect answer but I was so wrong¡­.

Crisis The maids were preparing me for my first speech in front of my people, I couldn''t get an inch of sleep and I was feeling quite tired. I sat on a chair in front of a mirror to look at my face. I saw a very tired young man with short brown hair and blue eyes looking at me. He was trying to put on his best smile but he wasn''t able to, not only his kingdom was in a terrible state but his life was also on the line. I was finally ready, I started to walk to the main balcony where thousands of my people waited for me. I stepped up to the main balcony, I waved to my folk and they all went wild. The moment I did that, I felt something inside me, it wasn''t happiness or sadness, I simply felt like I was about to collapse and before I could ask for help, I found myself falling off the balcony and then it all went black. I felt a slimy thing walking around my body, it was a weird feeling but it was a feeling that I knew too well. I opened my eyes inside a bed surrounded by tens of doctors, magicians, and servants. They were looking at me like I was about to die. A bald old mage with a long white beard sat near me. He looked like he was about to deliver grim news. "Sir, I am Bolun. The court physician also an archmage." "What happened to me?" I asked, he fell silent for a moment and then he talked. "You fell off the balcony but lucky for you, the city slimes saved your life by making a bed." "I see¡­But I have a feeling that you will say something that will ruin my life." "You have the Cold Death, your majesty." Cold Death, the two words that no one wanted to hear. The worst disease in the continent, a disease so horrifying that it was used to call children back home. That disease also killed the founder of our religion, The Prophet. I didn''t know what to say, I simply put my head back on my pillow and watched the ceiling.If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. [Your Special Trait "The Sick King" Changed Into "Cold Death Victim"] ["Cold Death Victim" +30 Relationship with the Clergy(They really hate this disease.) +20 Relationship with the Folk(Long live the king.)] One week passed and we became friends with Bolun, he was also a slime lover like me and we talked about slimes all day until that day arrived, a servant notified me of the incident and I rushed there. I saw my friend nailed to the wall with a sword stabbed through him. His throat was also cut open, I was shocked and then an argument started between the knights and the magicians. "That sword belongs to your Marshall!" Yelled a magician, I turned to the knight captain. "Is that true!?" I yelled at the man, he lowered his head and answered. "Yes, your majesty." After hearing his answer, I was furious, my first friend was killed by my own Marshall. "I want that Marshall''s head! You hear me!?" As I was yelling to the knight captain, a messenger arrived. "Your majesty, Marshall was found dead in his mansion." And then another messenger rushed to me. "Sir, all of your relatives have been killed." Before I could react to that, my system activated itself. [You Have Gained A Special Trait] ["The Last Royal Blood" +50 with Everyone(Their royal family is about to vanish)] I was about to collapse after hearing the news but another four messengers rushed to me. "Sir! The generals demand you chose a new Marshall!" "Sir! The Three Great Dukes have gone to war!" "Sir! A reform was started by High Priest Julius!" "Sir! A famine struck our kingdom, our peasants are suffering!" [Event: Marshall Election(Elect a Marshall before the generals elect another king)] [Event: Three Angry Nobles(Put an end to this fight before one of them gets too strong)] [Event: Great Reform(Fix your religion or they will fix your kingdom)] [Event: A Famine!?(You really gotta deal with this or¡­.)] [Special Condition Activated] ["Crisis" Relationships have been disabled, you will be immune to plots(No one wants to ruin their kingdom in crisis by killing their own king)] In my first week, I fell off my balcony only to be saved by slimes. I was infected with the worst disease I became friends with an old man and he died one week later, I lost my Marshall, all of my relatives and now I had to deal with these crises or I was going to get a game over. Wish me luck. Democracy What? A blue woman was sitting right in front of me. The woman in front of me wore a light blue dress that reflected her very wealthy status and a blue shoe that also reflected her wealth, her long light blue hair was enough to reach her large chest, she was not only a wealthy woman but a beautiful woman as well. This woman in front of me was a woman I knew very well. Her work was unique, she helped people in every way. When my father died my relatives wanted his lands, some of them were powerful than me but I hired her and she helped me take my inheritance, though she was quite expensive. This beautiful woman had a beautiful name "Goldia." She only cared about two things, money and people with blue eyes. Goldia worked for people that were wealthy and owned two blue eyes, she was the type that could do anything if you gave her enough money and here she was sitting right in front of me in my office, she had a smile on her face and kept checking my office. "This is a nice office, Servius." She said. "Yeah, you know why I called you here right?" "I don''t know but I heard we both go after the same gender." She laughed, Goldia had a friendly personality but she was a cunning woman as well. "Quite funny," I replied. "Come on! Your partners were very beautiful but you rejected them. Maybe you are going for me? I am the most beautiful woman in the kingdom, I can understand even I love myself." She also had a huge ego, that never hurt anybody but her. Some said her ego was the cause of her company''s bankruptcy.Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. "Yes, yes. You are very beautiful. I want you to become my grand chancellor." After hearing my offer, she instantly said. "How much do I get?" "Ten thousand Hol Gold per year." Her blue eyes lit up and started to sparkle, she was ready. I gave her a contract and a pen. "Yes! I sign here right?" "Yes." She signed it and handed it back to me, she stood up and pointed her finger at me. [You Have A Special Character In Your Court] [Grand Chancellor Goldia Pervinski: Money Maker, Politically Connected, All-Star. +15 Relationship with Everyone] "As your grand chancellor, I recommend you start with the three duke crisis." "I can''t even meet them personally, how will I do that?" "I know a place where you can find three of them at the same time." "You will have to join a cult, I can get you in pretty easily." "A Cult? You know I don''t like those things." "It is an organization where nobles meet and have special kinds of fun." "Oh¡­How do I join it?" "You will have to throw a party and they will contact you. Also be sure to use cute maids, I will be going now." "Where are you going?" "To fix the famine crisis, I know a couple of people that can help us." And so she left the room in a hurry. For a moment I felt relaxed but then system ruined it all. [Game Over Alert] [Republic Has Been Formed Inside Your Kingdom] [Main Event: Democracy What?(Yeah, what?)] [Target: Elected President Marvin Jollers] As things were going right, this republic popped up. Now, I gotta deal with this and host a party at the same time. Good thing for me, I have someone I trust helping me. I have a feeling that my luck is really bad so. Wish me luck. Last Event A month passed since the Republican revolt against my kingdom, I was on my horse looking at the home of democracy called "Devia" It was a beautiful trade city near the great ocean and it was the perfect spot to defend, this city was under siege by my men. Two weeks ago the reform leader High Priest Julius joined the Republican revolt with a couple of my generals but we outnumbered them in every way. There was only one problem, they were the good guys and we were the bad guys, I was about to die and I didn''t want to die as a bad person. So I decided I would negotiate with them. I rode my horse to the city gate and yelled. "I am King Servius! I wish to speak with High Priest Julius and President Marvin!" After waiting for a couple of minutes, they opened the doors and I rode to the city hall, they took me to the President''s office and closed the doors behind me. I was in a room with two men, one of them was a middle-aged man that had a brown hair and brown goatee, his clothes resembled a merchants clothing. The other person was a short very old man, that wore a white religious uniform and held a simple staff. These men were the President and the High Priest. "King Servius, you seek peace?" The President said from his chair, he had a serious look on his face. "Yes, I do with both of you," I said the high priest started to laugh. "Amazing! You are really a good kid but a dying king''s words mean nothing to us." The high priest saidStolen story; please report. "I wish to do something good before I die and that is to sign a peace treaty with you." "I understand, let''s talk peace." After talking for days, we finally signed a peace treaty. The Treaty of Devia was the first treaty in the world that protected humanity. I gave up my absolute rule and established a constitutional monarchy and accepted the reform. [You Have Gained A Special Trait] ["Reformist" +50 Relationship with the New Clergy and +10 Relationship with Everyone] ["Constitutional King" -20 Relationship with the Nobility +20 Relationship with Everyone else] After the great reform, my kingdom started to prosper and I became a king loved by everyone in the world and I earned a title. [You Have Earned A Title] ["The Free King"] But as days passed my sickness got worse, physicians, magicians, priests all over the world came to my aid but no one was able to help me. I woke up from my sleep in the middle of the night because of the thunder outside, it was the worst thunder in the kingdom''s history and my system turned itself on. [Last Event: Death] [Answer: Accept] "Ha!" I said, I was about to give my answer by closing my eyes but then I heard a noise coming from the window, I turned my head and a lightning revealed a dark figure outside of my window smiling at me, I knew what that thing was because of the event I got. [Very Last Event: Encounter With The Devil] I was about to stand up and yell but I didn''t have the energy to do it and all I could do was to close my eyes and sleep. "Sleep well, my unlucky king." [World Event: 35th King of Pervisia, Servius von Markell Has Passed Away] Is this the end? A good king''s death? Well, I am surprised. Yeah, I was expecting more but who cares. I need to do my work, you go have your fun. Oh, who survived? Another royal family member?! Madness. Let''s see his story, Mister Devil.
