MMORPG : Ancient WORLD

Alex left the game without a clue that after he became the Ruler of the Malefis Domain, major changes happened in every forbidden land area, and each continent's inhabitants reacted differently to the changes.

The Death Miasma Field.

"Little girl, You said you have marked every person adventurer Hidden One has met in the last few days." Volmar, the General of Sanguine Doom Guards, asked Nachtor in a serious tone.

"He met everyone by changing his appearance, so the chances of anyone personally knowing him are very thin, but those adventurers are our only lead to finding him," Nachtor replied in a serious tone.

"I never heard of any legacy item ever crumbling to dust, and even though it is not confirmed, there is a high chance that every other throne of darkness is gone," Volmar said, looking toward where the majestic throne of darkness was once present.

"Sir Volmar, I believe we should go and meet with the adventurers to find out if anyone personally knows him," Nachtor said.

Nachtor was eager to leave the forbidden land and search for Alex, who was sleeping on the throne.

......

The Demon Continent.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA"

"After seventy long years, a new rat has been selected, meaning I can finally complete what I started." A man's voice echoed in a giant throne room.

"This time, I will erase every life form from that despicable domain." The man said as he crushed the armrest of his golden throne.

"My King, Do you have any order for me?" A breathtaking lady appeared by the shadowy man's side and asked with respect.

"Cebrea, I want you to contact Wrathahr and tell him to start the invasion on the Human Continent." The man said as he pulled the lady's hand to make her sit on his lap.

"My King, The invasion is planned to happen after the Human Empire King is near death to use the invasion as a distraction to kill him, and even though the king is in a weakened state, he could still protect his life from any sixth Rank warrior that we can send."

"If we start the invasion before the planned time, then Wrathahr will not be able to kill the human Emperor, which will jeopardize many of your future plans." The lady said.

"It doesn't matter if the plan gets ruined because when the invasion starts, the new Ruler will definitely come to hunt the invading demons, and if I can find his identity, then it is worth running my plan for domination." The man said.

......

The news of Darkness Throne turning to dust traveled very quickly, and after getting the news, the influential people of each continent made efforts to search for the person responsible for the phenomenon.

All those who knew about the darkness legacy throne also understood that it was related to the forbidden land of darkness, and if they wanted to find the truth behind it, they needed to find the person who acquired the legacy.

The people who knew the truth behind the forbidden land of darkness and the significance of the darkness throne made plans for the future, while those who didn't know made efforts to search for it.

After logging out, Alex went straight to sleep while powerful people with good and bad intentions searched for him, and the only people who knew his identity were traveling to meet his acquaintance.

AI Zero made no world announcements related to Alex's outstanding achievements, so other than a few influential people, no one had any clue that something big had happened.

......

The Malefis Domain.

"KAAAA-DUUUUUUUUM"

It was a normal day for the inhabitants of the Malefis Domain when thick dark clouds raging with thunder started appearing and covering the clear sunny sky, and in just a few short minutes, the massive continent was hidden with a thick blanket of raging thunderclouds.

KAAA-BOOOOMMMMM

After a few seconds of silence, a thick bolt of black lightning struck in the middle of the continent on a shriveled dark tree inside a magnificent castle.

The bolt of lighting was so intense that it split the thick blanket clouds above the castle, and the sound was so high that the whole continent heard it.

KAAA-BOOOOMMMMM

After a few short seconds, the second lighting struck the tree with the same intensity, and in the next two minutes, the tree was hit with devastating lightning five more times.

The shriveled dark tree that should have turned to dust after being struck with seven lighting strikes still stood tall and looked completely different from its previous dead appearance.

The tree transformed into a healthy, mesmerizing tree with a thick trunk that oozed darkness and a massive crown with leaves that looked like tiny shining crystals.

After the seven lightning strikes, the whole Malefis Domain was in an uproar, with every inhabitant reacting differently to the sudden phenomena.

There were very few inhabitants who knew the real meaning of the seven lightning strikes, but those who understood the phenomena knew that the lightning strikes were a welcoming ceremony to announce a newly chosen Ruler.

"After seven decades, A new Ruler has been selected." A deep voice echoed in a dark cave.

'Now I can die peacefully knowing my dependents have the hope of surviving.' The unknown person thought.

A man dressed in luxurious clothing appeared at the cave entrance, bowed his head, and said a few words before vanishing.

"Great Grandfather, I will go to the Royal Palace for the coronation ceremony of the new Ruler, and there I will ask him to give me a revitalization fruit." The man said and vanished without even waiting for a reply.

'My stubborn child, you need to understand that I won't live for long even if I consume a revitalization fruit.' The unknown person said telepathically, but no reply came.

'I hope Varon doesn't beat him up too badly.' The unknown person thought.

"KAKAKAKAKAKAKA"

"A NEW RULER IS SELECTED?" A man sitting on the throne questioned in a crackly hoarse voice to a cloaked person kneeling before him.

"My King, The Ruler's welcoming ceremony has just occurred, so there is no doubt about it." The cloaked person replied without raising his head.

"You want me to attend the coronation ceremony?" The man slowly said while pausing after every word.

"My King, It is an ancient tradition for every major clan Patriarch to attend the coronation ceremony to prove their loyalty to the Ruler." The cloaked man replied.

"TRADITION"

"KAKAKAKAKA"

"LOYALTY"

"KAKAKAKKAKAKAKA"

"YOU WANT ME TO STAY LOYAL TO THE RULER AFTER WHAT MY PEOPLE WENT THROUGH." The man said in a thundering voice after laughing like a maniac.

"MY WHOLE CLAN WILL GET ERASED IN A FEW DECADES, AND THAT IS HAPPENING BECAUSE I STAYED LOYAL TO THE LAST RULER." The man said as he appeared in front of the kneeling person.

"My King, We are not the only ones in Malefis Domain who suffered, and if you do not put your anger aside, then our clan will definitely get erased because only the Ruler could help us." The cloaked man stood up and yelled as the tattered cloth covering his face slipped, revealing his bony skull.

The room was dimly lit, but one could tell that the king and his subject belonged to the skeleton Race.

"My King, You need to understand only the Ruler could even have a chance of getting a cure for the Devourer Curse." The man said.

"You do understand that the kid won't be able to get a cure in just a decade that could cure someone at your level of strength." The king asked calmly.

"I understand that I will die, but my descendants and clan member will live, and knowing that is more than enough for me to sacrifice my life." The man said.

"I will go to the coronation ceremony, but he won't receive any support from my clan until he proves he is a worthy Ruler." The king said as he vanished from the dark chamber.

"I hope the new Ruler is not some arrogant child." The man mumbled as he vanished from the dark chamber.

▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲

The same scenario was happening in every major clan, and even though the majority of clan patriarchs didn't want to attend the coronation ceremony because of their terrible past, they still did in the hope of a better future.

Alex, who didn't know anything about the Malefis Domain's past or its current problems, was at this moment soundly sleeping.

The strongest people of the Malefis Domain gathered in the Royal palace in the next few hours to meet the newly selected Ruler, but they were told to wait by Varon as Alex was unavailable.

"You are telling me that the Ruler has returned to his world and won't return for an unknown time?" A ten feet tall giant man asked Varon.

"If you all could take the law oath given by Watcher, then he will provide you with knowledge related to Immortal Adventurers because that is the only way you could get information about our Ruler," Varon replied, looking at the people belonging to different Races standing in front of him.
