Arthur pov

I started to stir from my sleep as I woke up. I found myself not in the hospital room but in a master bedroom with all the trimmings of old England design. The bed I was on was a sea green color with matching drapes that covered the windows and carpet with intricate design the drawers were solid oak with silver finishing there were even strange lamps with crystals for bulbs glowing.

Arthur: Where the hell am I?

I looked closely at the entirety of the bedroom and realized I had designed this bedroom myself. It was the bedroom of the king, basically my bedroom. Even down to the blue silk pajamas I was wearing. But the question is, how was Yggdrasil still on? Did the date get pushed back? And lastly, how did I end up in this bedroom and in these clothes? All I could remember was falling asleep on the throne, waiting for everything to shut down.

Arthur: I should report this to the GM and ask what's going on.

I opened my hud and started to try to contact the GM, but nothing was happening. It was as though the entirety of my system had changed.

Arthur: What not even a contact to the GM?!

As I pondered this, the bedroom door opened, and standing there was Guinevere, the queen of my kingdom holding a tray with a cup of warm water and a clean white cloth. Her long flowing brown hair reaches back to her legs, with light blue eyes and wearing a beautiful sea green and white dress with golden furnishings, including matching a veil with a tiara. But how is she moving? I don't remember giving her any commands.

Guinevere: * drops the tray ran in and hugged me around my neck* Arthur, you're alright. I was so worried you wouldn't wake up! * holding me while crying*

I was not only shocked by her words, but the very fact I can feel her hugging me this shows that everything around me isn't a game it's real. It's hard to believe, but I believe it's true, but that begs the question. How did this even happen?

Guinevere: Arthur, are you alright? * worried *

Arthur: * I straightened up* I am alright, thank you. * I smiled *

Guinevere: I am glad. * placed a hand on her chest * It's a relief.

???: * knocking on the door* Your highness, how is he?

I looked to see who had came in and it was Merlin my succubus sorceress who in legend helped Arthur in his rule as king she's definitely a bright character especially her attire she has long flowing white hair with pink eyes and her robes are white with gold and pink inside with  black leggings.

Guinevere: He is awake and has no signs of fatigue.

Merlin: Wonderful the knights will be pleased if you wish your majesty we can go see them now and reassure them whenever you're ready.

If everything is real, then so is me being Arthur, so from here on, I am Arthur Pendragon.

Arthur: Very well. Let me get changed, and I will meet you in the throne room.

Merlin: Excellent! I will meet you there and don't get distracted, love birds. * winks before teleporting away *

Guinevere: * blushing * Honestly, that woman can only push me so far.

Arthur: She's just looking after us, nothing to worry about. * I give her a reassuring smile *

As I was about to get up, Guinevere kissed me she actually kissed me on the lips. I had never felt this before. It was my first time experiencing this, and it felt amazing. My chest tightened as my face began to feel warm.

Guinevere: * pulled away * I was so worried it was the first time I saw you passed out on your throne and worried you pushed yourself too hard and…* began to cry again *

She was actually worried about me she is no longer an npc I created she is now a fully realised person so is Merlin as well, my knights and everyone else in my kingdom so they all would probably mourn for me if I was gone so all I can do for them is stay with them for as long as possible.

Arthur: * pulled Guinevere in my warm embrace * I'm sorry I had you and everyone else worried like that. I promise if I feel like that again, I'll notify you and the others immediately, ok?

Guinevere: * wiping away the tears in her eyes and smiled * Thank you, that's all I ask.

Arthur: * getting out of bed* Now then shall we go see the others now? * offering my hand *

Guinevere; Yes, my king. * grabbing my hand *

After putting on my equipment and making our way down to the throne room, I noticed I didn't feel any fatigue in my new body like I did in my old one. I can even walk without any issues, which is one of the best things to happen to me aside from now having a wife at my side. As we finally reached the throne room, I saw all the knights of the round table, including Merlin gathered, and looked at us as they got on their knees.

Knights of the round table: Welcome your majesty!

Guinevere and I followed the knights down our blue carpet  to our thrones and sat upon them. I looked around at all the knights of my court and readied myself to be their king.

Arthur: You may all rise. * they all rose to their feet * Well then, let us start our discussions.
