The maids were preparing me for my first speech in front of my people, I couldn't get an inch of sleep and I was feeling quite tired. I sat on a chair in front of a mirror to look at my face. I saw a very tired young man with short brown hair and blue eyes looking at me. He was trying to put on his best smile but he wasn't able to, not only his kingdom was in a terrible state but his life was also on the line.
I was finally ready, I started to walk to the main balcony where thousands of my people waited for me. I stepped up to the main balcony, I waved to my folk and they all went wild. The moment I did that, I felt something inside me, it wasn't happiness or sadness, I simply felt like I was about to collapse and before I could ask for help, I found myself falling off the balcony and then it all went black.
I felt a slimy thing walking around my body, it was a weird feeling but it was a feeling that I knew too well. I opened my eyes inside a bed surrounded by tens of doctors, magicians, and servants. They were looking at me like I was about to die.
A bald old mage with a long white beard sat near me. He looked like he was about to deliver grim news.
"Sir, I am Bolun. The court physician also an archmage."
"What happened to me?" I asked, he fell silent for a moment and then he talked.
"You fell off the balcony but lucky for you, the city slimes saved your life by making a bed."
"I see…But I have a feeling that you will say something that will ruin my life."
"You have the Cold Death, your majesty." Cold Death, the two words that no one wanted to hear. The worst disease in the continent, a disease so horrifying that it was used to call children back home. That disease also killed the founder of our religion, The Prophet. I didn't know what to say, I simply put my head back on my pillow and watched the ceiling.

One week passed and we became friends with Bolun, he was also a slime lover like me and we talked about slimes all day until that day arrived, a servant notified me of the incident and I rushed there.
I saw my friend nailed to the wall with a sword stabbed through him. His throat was also cut open, I was shocked and then an argument started between the knights and the magicians.
"That sword belongs to your Marshall!" Yelled a magician, I turned to the knight captain.
"Is that true!?" I yelled at the man, he lowered his head and answered.
"Yes, your majesty." After hearing his answer, I was furious, my first friend was killed by my own Marshall.
"I want that Marshall's head! You hear me!?" As I was yelling to the knight captain, a messenger arrived.
"Your majesty, Marshall was found dead in his mansion." And then another messenger rushed to me.
"Sir, all of your relatives have been killed." Before I could react to that, my system activated itself.

I was about to collapse after hearing the news but another four messengers rushed to me.
"Sir! The generals demand you chose a new Marshall!"
"Sir! The Three Great Dukes have gone to war!"
"Sir! A reform was started by High Priest Julius!"
"Sir! A famine struck our kingdom, our peasants are suffering!"

In my first week, I fell off my balcony only to be saved by slimes. I was infected with the worst disease I became friends with an old man and he died one week later, I lost my Marshall, all of my relatives and now I had to deal with these crises or I was going to get a game over.
Wish me luck.
