Where is the capital Aterna?
It is the giant city some kilometers behind the city you were just in, that city is called Esol by the way, and the capital is called Caule.
Ok. I look in the direction of the capital, and i can make out Esol, and just behind that i can barely see a city like thing. I spread my wings, and fly upwards, and stay there for a few seconds before i shoot forward towards the capital. Just as suspected, mach 3 is fast, but it will take a few minutes to get to the capital, so i take it up a notch, and fly at mach 20. This way, i should be able to get there a bit faster.
Like i wanted, it only took a few seconds, and i am right above the capital. I slow down, and make myself invisible, and completely conceal my mana. Caule is like Esol, just that it is way bigger, and that it has a castle instead of a mansion, and that the walls are at least 20 meter tall. I look at the castle, and search for a way inside. I guess i will just enter from the main entrance. I fly towards the gate of the castle, and land before it, I walk unnoticed through the gates by the castle guards.
I continue to walk unnoticed through the entrance and the doors to the throne hall. Like the dwarves castle, the doors are unnecessary big, and grand. Guess it's a royalty thing. In the middle back of the room, is a throne covered in precious stone, and decorated with gold, and silver, and sitting upon it is a middleaged man, with colorful clothes, and has a lot of golden rings on. On top of his head is a crown made of gold, and decorated with precious stones. The man which i presume is the king is talking with an old man in robes, and a middleaged man in really fancy armor. I think that is a mage, and a knight.
"Is the troops good to go?"(King)
"Yes my lord"(Knight)
"Is the artifact ready aswell?"(King)
"Yes my lord"(Mage)
"Then we are marching at the crack of dawn."(King)
"Yes my lord."(Mage)(Knight) They say simultaneously.
"You may leave"(King) Both of the men leave and walk past me, without noticing me. The doors are closing behind them which means it's only me and the king left in the room. I walk over to the door and write silencing runes, and i make the door unopenable.
"Soon, the dwarves mines will be mine."(King) The king laughs with glittering eyes full of greed.
"That won't happen, you idiot."
"What?!, Who is there?!"(King)
"Me."
"Guards!"(King)
"They won't come no matter how much you scream."
"What?!"(King)
"Like i said, they won't come."
"What do you want?"(King) He says visibly shivering.
"Nothing much, i am just a bit mad about this." I say taking out my guild card.
When i take out the card, the kings eyes reveal a little bit of shock, but he controls it, and he calms down.
"Hahaha."(King) He laughs maniacally.
"So you are an adventurer."(King) He says grinning. Oh, i understand. I guess i will play along.
"What do you mean?" I show a confused smile.
He says nothing, his grin grows wider.
"I command you to release me, and then name yourself.(King) He is still grinning from teeth to teeth. Haha, what an idiot! He thinks he can control me into doing what he likes. He didn't at all question why i came here, the moment he saw my guild card. I am bored of playing along, so i guess i will do what i came here to do.
"Don't wanna."
"...What?"(King)
"Like i said, i don't want to."
"I order you in the name of Stultus, the king of Solisa, to release me!"(Stultus)
"It's not gonna work, by the way."
"What?!"(Stultus)
"I have erased the runes on it, and it wouldn't have worked on me anyway."
"What do you mean?..."(Stultus) He asks with a shocked face.
"It means that you don't have any power over me."

"........"(Stultus)He is staring blankly into the. Guess it must have been a shock to him.
"So... How should i punish you?"
"F-Forgive! Please! I only meant to strengthen the kingdom, it wasn't for my personal gain. Please, Believe me! It was the guildmaster who came up with the idea."(Stultus)
"So you are lying, i guess your punishment will only be worse."
"No! Please! I am sorry for lying! Please Forgive me!"(Stultus) He is starting to get down on his knees, and he is lowering his face.
"Nah, i won't forgive you just yet."
Aterna, can i look at other peoples stats just like in games?
Yes, it's integrated in the Gaming system you asked from God. You just need to say analyze.
Ok, thanks. Analyze
Status Name: Stultus Level: 2 Age: 52 Health: 100 Race: Human Mana: 10 Sex: Male Strength: 5 Agility: 10 HP Regeneration: 0,5/min Wisdom: 10 MP Regeneration: 0,1/min Intelligence: 20 Stamina Regeneration: 10/min Stamina: 50 Stat points: 0 Skill points: 0
Well he is weak. Or maybe i am just too absurd. I decide what to do to punish him, and close the screen.
"I have decided how to punish you."
"H-How will you punish me?"(Stultus) He has a blank look, and he is shivering.
"You will know in due time. Now hush, i need to work on it." I make a golden ring that looks like the one he has on his fingers, and write a rune saying 'Steal 20 stamina every minute, but when it reaches 0, the stealing stops, until it reaches 20, and then it starts again.' And i also write 'unremovable, except for Matthew Hill.' I also put a little something extra on it. There, done.
"Here, put this on." I give him the ring.
"W-what does it do?"(Stultus)
"Nothing much, just put it on." I urge him to put it on, and he does it.
"I feel tired."(Stultus) He says almost falling over.
"Well, of course. I enchanted it to drain your stamina."
"What!?"(Stultus)He tries to take it off, but he isn't able to.
"What is this!?"(Stultus)He cries
"And, i enchanted it to only come off when i do it."
"Does that mean that i have to live for this until you take this off."(Stultus)
"Yeah, you only brought this upon yourself. You reap, what you sow."
"How long do i have to wear this?"(Stultus)
"All your life, or when i take it off."
"All my life..."(Stultus) He looks shocked.
"Well, i guess that was everything. I am leaving now." I turn myself invisible and walk to the runes i wrote and erase them, and then i teleport to the other side of the throne room doors. There at least 10 guards standing here, and i am standing like 1 meter away from one. I begin to walk outside, when something catches my eyes, a beautiful girl around my age, with raven black head and a moderate chest. She also has a tiara on her head which means she is a princess. She is walking towards the throne room, and when the guards see her, they all salute. What is her name, Aterna?
She is the kings only daughter, and her name is Aurora. She is set to marry a dukes son in a few weeks, but she doesn't want to marry him. The dukes son is called Summol by the way.
I only asked for her name Aterna.
I just said what i predicted you would ask of me.
I laugh to myself and grin.
Master, how do you intend to deal with the king after this, because he has seen your face?
It's okay, I added a rune keeping him from telling anyone of me, and what i did to him.
So thats what you did, i was wondering what you wrote.
Yeah. While we were talking the door opened for Aurora, and she walked in. I see the king slightly tired, and the princess walking up to him, and i walk outside. When i get outside, i spread my wings, and shoot upwards for a few kilometers. I stop, and hover mid-air and enjoy the view. Aterna, where does the duke, and his son live?
They live in Ilno, a city to the south of Caule. They live in the mansion, in the middle of the city.
Ok. I shoot forwards and it only takes a few seconds, as usual. I make myself invisible, and land on the roof of the mansion, and teleport inside. Aterna where is the son and father?
Both of them are in the study.
Thanks. I walk through the halls, and walk past a few servants. I reach the study and notice that it is locked, and i then teleport inside to see 2 people talking.
"Father, how are we going to deal with the princess?(Young man)
"It will work out Summol."(Middleaged man)
"If you say so father."(Summol)
"Don't worry, you will marry princess Aurora, and become king."(Duke)
"Yes father."(Summol) The 2 people talking is a middleaged man, and young man. I presume those two are the duke and his son. Aterna, is there a way to knock them out without alarming other people or hurting them?
Yes master. You can release a massive amount of mana in their vicinity, which will make their senses become confused, and after a while, pass out. And if you it with more mana and even longer you can kill them.
My goal isn't to kill them, it's just to knock them out to do a few things. I begin to pour about 20 000 mana around their bodies, and do that until they finally collapse. I turn visible again, and i make 2 necklaces, and write runes on both of them, saying 'Obedience to Matthew Hill' and 'Can only be taken off by Matthew Hill.' After finishing writing the runes, i lift their heads up and put the necklaces on them both. After doing that i make smelling salts to wake them up. After waking up, both of them have a blank look in their eyes, and both of them say at the same time. "Master Matthew what do you wish of us?"(Duke+Summol)
"I want you to break of the engagement to princess Aurora."
"Yes master."(Duke+Summol)
"What is your name Duke?"
"My name is Dult."(Dult)
"Ok, Dult and Summol, i want you to behave normally when i leave, but when i say the word 'Somn', i want you to return to this state."
"Yes master."(Dult+Summol)
"Ok, good. I'm gonna leave now, and make sure to break off the engagement to princess Aurora as fast as possible."
"Yes master."(Dult+Summol) After they finish saying that i turn invisible and teleport back into my room in Esol. I look around, and when i am sure there is no one in the room or people who can see me from the street, i turn visible again.
