The King is a Child

Chapter 2

When Sato Youta woke up, the first thing he noticed was the pain on the side of his head. He cursed the king under his breath and tried his best to ignore the headache. He likes pain, but not this kind of pain.

Once his eyes adjust to the light that has been pouring in from the window, he scanned the area and tilted his head.

Wow, how luxurious. This was the first time he has ever been in a room that was this big. The windows were twice his size (he was 6'1ft tall), with curtains that looked heavy and thick. The walls were dark with large paintings and pictures, while the floor looked to be made of a kind of marble. The furniture around him looked geriatric and old. From the shelves to the chairs, it looked like something straight from a victorian-centered movie.

Sato Youta mumbled lightly and slowly inch off the bed. But then he realized that his feet didn't quite reach the cool marble floor.

Huh, how big was this bed? He thought carelessly, but ignored it and hoped off. As he walked past the tables and drawers, he noticed that they were all significantly taller than him. He had to climb up the chairs in order to reach the top of the table where a black piece of paper sat lifelessly.

"Man, am I in the world of giants?" He scoffed lightly before grabbing the piece of paper with his ... small hands.

"Hm...lets see...."

The world that he is in was a fantasy world with dragons, elves, vampires, humans, and so forth. The 'earth' that he is in was divided into four major sections.

The northern kingdom is inhabited by humans of all kinds. Warriors, magicians, and so on. It is one of the most developed countries on the 'earth'. Due to their extremely short lives, these humans thrive to grow and explore before their life turns into dust. Although their ambitions are quite admirable, it is also a curse that caused them to be enemies with the majority of the world. Thanks to their rushed and conquering nature, most kingdoms were on high alert against them. Although they are significantly weaker than most races, their ability to be resilient was second to none. It was almost....frightening.

Although they are forceful and confident, their neighborhood kingdom is quite the opposite. The Eastern kingdom was a kingdom that is dominated by mainly nature. The creatures' lives and power revolve around the trees and the dirt on the ground. From the elves to the fairie to the dwarfs, and the orcs. Nature is what fueled them. Nature is their home. Rarely do they venture out of their hiding hole. They barely show up in war and instead chose to avoid it entirely. But although they are peaceful creatures, they are not to be underestimated. For as long as nature lives, its powers will continue to grow and thrive. Like the vine slowly growing on the side of a tree.

In the south, however, is an entirely different kingdom. It is a kingdom where 90% of it is submerged under cold, deep water while only 10% were land. The underwater creatures are predominantly underwater-based creature that rarely shows their faces to outsiders. Some were merpeople, half fish half person, while others are sirens, a deadly creatures with the voice of an angel. But there are also some who are monstrous creatures that terrorized the sea with their fearsome looks and grotesque appetite.

But right above them, the southern kingdom was a mysterious kingdom that became somewhat of a myth told by every creature on the face of the earth. Since no one has seen or heard of the creatures living well behind the thick forests filled with trees and the large mountains that overshadow the horizons. This caused many others to suspect that it was a myth. An unhabituated kingdom left to rot all alone. Some would say that there is indeed a kingdom there. A fearsome kingdom with power that could bring down the entirety of the earth. Of course, these rumors became nothing more but a myth told to foreigners or newcomers.
