Chapter 19: Annoying Fantasy World

Date: October 28th, 2023

I was leaving a castle, hauling a big sack of gold I couldn't say no to after a successful diplomatic mission as the Knight Envoy of BRAINS. As usual, my armor softly clinked as a walked as my cape swished accordingly. I tried to say no to that sack of gold but they wouldn't have it any other way. They wanted me to have that gold and it feels like some of the women who are in the castle were trying to be "my harem" by pushing me to have that gold the most. I'm gay, ya know.. I like dudes. And I really don't like this universe that much so far. But the kingdom I talked to has an impressive amount of strength as well as a solid culture. It controls this universe's entire Earth. I still have my doubts about it but I saw some of their knights in action. Even someone like Brainiac might struggle a bit against just a few of them. That android is a world destroying, information collecting(through that destruction) villain I hope we won't have to deal with. But I think we will have to and I bet Superman will be most adamant to bring him down. What else has been annoying so far? I can forgive the whole being called a sir thing though that has happened so damn much here. Why? Because it seems that the very concept of the fact that gender is a spectrum has not exactly caught on in this worldwide kingdom. Then there was the insistence I wear royal clothing, the over the top desserts, the sheer contrast of the castle against literally any of the buildings around it, the submissiveness of the servants, the other cliches I've seen so far, and whatever that fountain in the middle of the castle was supposed to be.

I sigh to myself and put the sack in my ender chest. "It's too bad gold armor on its own sucks a lot. Gold is a soft metal after all. It looks nice but it's durability ain't up there. Otherwise, I'd want to have someone smelt down this gold to forge gold armor with to give to comrades. But no, it just had to be a soft metal." My tummy rumbles: "Okay, okay. I'm so tired and hungry. They made me take down a giant monster all by myself because no one had the nerve to fight the monster at all. That was after those excessive desserts. Why am I thinking outloud? Because not only is my life story outside of my home timeline pretty much an isekai but things have just influenced me to think outloud like this. Well anyway, I better get to a tavern. My Quantum Leap's busted, my Artist's Eye is all spent, and all of my provisions other than the giant container of water in my ender pouch are gone because they've all been used. Exhausted, annoyed, hungry. Today is just my lucky day. But before anything else, I need to go to the stables to get Chocolate back." I walk to the royal stables. There, I find Chocolate decked out in excessive horse garments. I sweat drop: "You have got to be kidding me." I spend a couple minutes taking the garments off and giving Chocolate some water. She was clearly getting hot in those garments. I pet her mane: "You alright now, Chocolate?" She neighs in reply. I hop onto her: "I hope you don't mind but I'm tired. Would you be willing to allow me to ride you even though I normally could easily run faster than you can walk?" "Of course! Where to!" "Thank you. Well, they don't exactly have maps of this place so we have to play it by ear. Just go east once we get out of these castle grounds until we run into a tavern. I'll get us both some fresh food there and then we can just leave this universe behind for now. I don't want to stay here for much longer."

"Okay!" Just then, a stable boy approaches us and says to me: "Milord, why aren't you in the clothing the royal family granted you?" "..Please don't call me that. I have no need of extravagant clothing. If they gave me nice armor instead, I would take it but still not wear it. This armor of mine is my attire. I even recently named it the Revolutionary Armor. Now tell me, what did you do to treat Chocolate well?" He nervously replies and explains what he did. It was a lot. I pull out several gold coins from the giant bag of coins I was given: "Here, this should be enough to last you a while. I don't like the situation of this kingdom that much but in order to keep the alliance secured, I have no choice but to put up with it unless it crosses a majorly bad line. That and I'm annoyed enough as it is. A revolution would also take time to effectively organize. *gives the coins* The kingdom is powerful." "But milord, you can't do this!" "Yes I can. Especially since everyone keeps treating me like I'm a major authority figure here. I don't want the power to rule over people. Now then, we must be off now. If the guards are trouble, hide those coins in a safe location. They've done very well to make it seem like everything in this kingdom is fine but I have my suspicions. They may let you wear nice clothing yourself but the subtle difference in quality between yours and theirs is enough for me to suspect that you're considered a peasant. Oh yeah and your mannerisms make that obvious too." A couple minutes later, we're finally leaving the castle. But we start hearing some excited screams. I look behind us as the guards open the castle gates to allow us to exit. "Why can't they just leave me alone? I have no interest in having a harem. And I'm not interested in women in THAT way."
