A month has passed since I've gone to the Underworld. A month since I've gotten this system. Only a month, huh?

There have been way too many things that have happened during this month. I've almost gotten killed a few times. If I keep this up, I'll have a dinner date with Death by the new year. I've almost received a knife to the face, fought a Dragon, beat up a Kitsune's boyfriend, fought against some Vampire noble and his annoying clowns two times, and finally fought against a Vampire king because his daughter chose me as her fiancé...

Only just a month has passed... Now it's November.

I don't really wanna think about it...

My life has been hit with the entire Dustloop catalog. From BlazBlue, Guilty Gear... Even DNF Duel and Sailor Moon S (released back in Japan December 16, 1994). And then thrown out the window.

A/N: Dustloop is a site which contains all the frame data for games made or produced by Arc System Works. It also includes more information on characters like their unique abilities (if applicable) and some combos.

I'm enjoying what my life has become even with all I've said. It's more eventful.

Although I am not really enjoying having to learn these table manners... Quite annoying to be honest.

"Why do we even need three spoons? We do not need that many spoons!" I grumbled.

"This is how royalty does it." Caroline replied.

"Yeah, yeah. Commanding many is like commanding a few. It is a matter of dividing them into groups. Or whatever." I sighed. "Except it doesn't work with utensils! They are simply the same! They do the same thing, almost even look the same!"

"They aren't the same." Caroline assured me. "It's like saying a chef's knife is the same as a dagger. And a dagger the same as a sword!"

Her eyes narrowed and started glaring at me.

"Lucas. What do you think you're doing? Put that away." She said sternly. "Where did you even take that out from?"

"What. It cuts all the same. It's just basically a knife, right?" I said, holding my sword on the plate, cutting my steak.

I bring up my fork and take a bite.

"And what's with spoons anyway? Don't you just think they limit ourselves from indulging ourselves in soup?" I brought up. "What are they but smaller bowls to control our primal urges? Soup is Serenity, Serenity is King!"

"..." Diva sighed. "You never fail to surprise me, Host."

Shut up!

"...I don't think he gets it." Rose commented.

"This? This is going to be who succeeds me?" Nikolas sunk into despair. "This empire's future is done for."

"He beat you at your game. You brought this upon yourself." Replied Rose with a smile on her face.

Nikolas sighed once more. "Excuse me, I'm... going to need some time to think..." He said, walking away.

"I really am a hopeless case, aren't I?" I muttered.

"You aren't." Rose smiled. "Table manners are not what makes a king be able to lead his people."

"Thanks..." I replied.

Rose truly knows how to put up an elegant act.

Caroline checked her watch. "Well, I guess that's all for today."

"Finally!" I cheered, stretching my arms far above my head. "See you next week then?"

"Yes. We'll continue your kingly training next week." Caroline smiled.
