Hail the King Vol.1 - Edited Version

Chapter 6: Unexpected Power

Fei was startled.

[Max gaming time for today? What's that?]

He hardly expected anything like this to happen just as he decided to return to the【Rogue Encampment】.

Fei's vision blurred and the whole world faded right in front of his eyes. Then, a veil of darkness.

Fei awoke, and discovered he was in the king's palace again.

The magnificent decor, fanciful furniture and crimson, gold gilded king-sized bed contrasted with the grim and cruel Diablo world.

"What happened? Did I... have a nightmare?" Fei was confused.

Fei lay in bed. The only difference between the pre-"nightmare" and post-"nightmare" was that he felt boiling and sweaty; as if he escaped from a sauna room.

The dizziness when he had woken the first time in this world had disappeared, Fei realized as he pushed himself up, and so had the pain from his head and chest injuries.

"How did... was that not a dream?"

Something extraordinary had happened to him, but he couldn't fathom how. The whole palace rested quietly. No one was around. Fei slipped out of the bed, and stretched.

"Zipp————–"

The sound of ripping cloth.

Feis white knight turtleneck shirt suddenly tore open in many different places. If you looked at him at that moment, you would think he was homeless based on his ripped shirt, as well as his torn pants.

"Seriously, what is this?"

Fei turned fearful.

What had happened to him weakened his nerves by the second. He believed himself close to a mental breakdown.

Upon detailed inspection, he realized the clothes he wore were too small for his size. When he had stretched, he had torn open the uncomfortably small clothing.

"What is this pitiful quality? Who makes such clothes for a king?"

Wind breezed through the window, and Fei shivered. He was almost naked.

"Crap, I have to find something to wear quickly."

Fei searched around the room and found a wardrobe-like piece of furniture. He opened it and realized there were many luxurious clothes in it. He donned a fitting black knight shirt and pants and pranced towards the mirror.

The man in the mirror startled Fei.

About 6 feet tall, a ruby hair tie fastened his shoulder-length obsidian hair to the back of his head. His handsome, manly face and muscular body could make any women fall for him.

"My God! The handsome fella in the mirror is me???"

Fei was in a state of disbelief, it felt all too unreal for him. After he danced around in front of the mirror and realized the man mirrored his movements, he finally accepted it.

"Hahaha, Man oh man oh man. Although that Alexander was a hopeless retard, he's got quite a face! Haha, he is far more handsome than me."

As if he had uncovered a new continent, Fei relentlessly posed in front of the mirror.

"From now on, I'm Alexander!" Fei exclaimed, overjoyed.

After his recent discovery, he strode to the row of medieval armours at the centre of the room. He chose a suit of armour around his height, and unsheathed the double-handed sword the armour held. Forcefully swinging the sword, he attempted to imitate the powerful manner of a King.
