Path Of A King

Level 1

Chapter 3

As we headed back to Emily's home we were talking about how this continent's name is Ercas and that the Zen Kingdom was just one out of five known countries in the continent of Ercas. First, in the Zen Kingdom which we are currently on, The king's name is Rowe Grey Mauntell and the queen is Catherine Gifford Mauntell. Second, in the Nevos Kingdom not much is known about the other than the fact that they are located west of Blackthorn on the other side of the Darkwood forest. The Nevos kingdom king's name is Eduar Nev Eseliaz the queen is Emilia Luz Eseliaz. Another kingdom on Ercas was the Fenrok kingdom most of that country is covered in woods. The Fenrok King is a high Elf named Elvalas Nil Urethien the queen is Isabella Nev Urethien. There was also the Lynat Dukedom ruled by a duke called Veric De Legian married to Edalia Legian. There was also the Thysna Empire, ruled by Emperor Thoidus Sev Vydric he's known to be married to multiple wives but the most known is named Lydia Vydric.

We finally arrived at Emily's home and entered. I sat on one of the wooden chairs of the only table near the kitchen. I was relieved to rest since my body was still feeling extremely weak I got tired very easily during the outing to the food market. Emily started to prepare a meal for us to eat, As she prepared the meal we kept talking about this world.

"Although... there is also a settlement called Elape it's currently just a territory with one town built around the ruling lord's castle. I guess if you count the recent Territory of Elape it makes 6 known countries on Ercas. Just a few seasons ago the Elape territory was just a few spread-out settlements that had many different clans. The clans fought for dominance, during that time it was called Clans territory. Oh! I almost forgot! Here, I bought you a map of the continent."

"Thank you Emily! awesome the map shows all of Ercas in detail. What's this huge piece of land called "Unconquerable Territory?"

"Well... the Unconquerable territory is a land mass that has yet to be explored. Many countries have tried by sending experienced adventures to try to claim the territory but all have failed. The land terrain is very difficult around the Unconquerable Territory. As if that wasn't hard enough, there are monsters called Utz that attack and devour humans in the mountains that surround the Unconquerable territory! They say that the monsters around the mysterious land were created by using ancient dark magic that has been lost due to the prosecution of those who practiced the dark arts. Of course, those are only myths that people spread. Hiroki... How can you not know any of this information? It's almost as if you were not born in this world and come from elsewhere. Now that I think about it you mention you are from a country called "Japan" I've never heard of such a place in the whole continent!"

"You're right Emily, I'm not from this world. I have no idea how I got here or how I suddenly awoke in the DarkWood forest. I didn't tell you from the beginning because I was afraid that you wouldn't help me if you knew the truth. To be honest... I was terrified when I realize that I wasn't on earth anymore. Since I knew nothing about the situation I was in, I decided that staying quiet was for the best. I understand if you want nothing to do with me anymore now that you know the truth."

"Earth?"

While speaking to Emily, I realized that telling the truth was the right thing to do in the end. Emily deserved it! since she has been nothing short of nice and helpful to me. Even if she wants nothing to do with me, I already know enough about this world to at least have a chance of surviving in it. What should I do now? I guess finding out a way to return back to my world should be a priority.

"Hiroki give me a minute I'm still trying to comprehend your story. So you're telling me that you are from another world called earth?"

"Yes."
