Just me doing another test fiction there will be no star tables in this one so I probably will actually want to write it. Also this is part one of the prologue. I felt it would be better to get it in 2 parts because it takes a while to explain the history and setting of this story and I didn't want it to seem like a big run on chapter. Anyway enjoy another one of my experiments.

“Hola, and welcome to the Philippines. What es the purpose of your stay ma’am?”
Ahhhh what should I say this time, well It doesn't matter I won't betraying here too long, my transfer flight to Hong Kong international is only a few hours from now.
I close my eyes and give a sweet smile.
“Oh I won't be staying the the Philippines very long mister I have a transfer to Hong Kong in a few hours.”
The immigration officer stamps my passport and looks up at me.
“Oh? You are very pretty ma’am, you are from the Tark Empire?”
Ugh I hate this airport the people here act friendly but a lot of them are just corrupt con artists. Whatever I'll play along for now it's not like my mission depends on this insignificant conversation.
I smile and feign surprise.
“Yes of course, how could you tell?”
The officer laughs.
“Ahh it was pretty obvious, people with natural silver hair and red eyes can only be from the, empire. And also you have a Tark passport.”
I put my hand to my mouth and laugh sweetly.
I try to walk away but the over friendly officer won't let me get away that easily.
“So why are you going to Hong Kong? A vacation?”
Goddamn sleez bag you see a pretty woman and you have to hit on her, gods I hate this airport. Hell I hate being in the Philippines in general. A lot of bad memories here.
“Oh no I won't be staying in Hong Kong either I have a string of transfers to Moscow. My business is based there.”
Of course that's not what I'm actually gonna do there, but of course I can't say that I'm going to kill the Russian president can I.
“Oh I see miss well it was nice to meet you.”
“And you as well.”
I wave to the officer, pick up my briefcase and walk back into the airport.
‘Growwwllllllll’
First things first though I need to eat, the last thing I had was a piece of pizza in the Lerok Imperial Airport over 12 hours ago.
I order a small sandwich and an iced coffee at a Starbucks in the airport food court.
Well I guess I should explain some things first. And yes this is a fourth wall break, but to be honest it's the only easy way besides a flashback to explain the current situation of the world. And I promise that after this is over my memories of this conversation will be gone as to not break immersion. Anyway, you may have not understood what the officer said when he was talking about the “Tark Empire” and that is simply because up until about 10 years ago nobody knew about the Lerok Empire.
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
In the year 2016 the world was shaken by massive earthquakes, the epicenter was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean just above Wake island. And on the date of June 11 2016 a massive land mass rose from the depths of the ocean.
The new continent stretched far past the island of midway and in the other direction extended to just above the island of Marcus.
At first the continent caused disasters for the people of the pacific. Several islands were flooded, their inhabitants evacuated, and a few Japanese cities were decimated by tsunamis.
After the initial panic died down and the world governments regained public order. People began to wonder why and how this disaster happened. The leaders of the free world (NATO, the EU, and the UN) banned together to create a large team of researchers, scientists, and military personnel to scout out the new continent and see what riches could be plundered from this new world.
However what they weren't expecting was an embassy from the people of the new continent.
The people came before the leaders of the world and declared themselves citizens of the Tark empire the people who inhabit the continent. They claimed that they were a civilization with technology slightly more advanced than the leading superpowers of the world, and that they had been watching the people of the surface world and had been waiting to re-enter world affairs for several centuries.
The world leaders were invited to the Tark empire to meet with the emperor himself and talk politics to set up the empire in the world economy and integrate its people and culture into the world.
Of course because of the Internet the news of a new empire spread like wildfire and the world waited eagerly for the day of the meeting between the leaders of the known world and the Tark emperor. The world was split in three major factions as the world waited for the anticipated conference. There were people who were part of the Tarks declaration of superiority and demanded that world leaders take action to subjugate them and regulate their technology. There were the people who wanted peace and thought the world would benefit greatly from the new country. And the final group were the neutrals who just wanted to see what would occur at the conference.
Eventually the fated day came, after three months of waiting the world watched as their leaders flew off into the Tark empire to the coordinates sent by the Tark ambassadors.
