"Mwhahahaha this is to ironic!"
I let out a loud laughter as I was finally able to realize what had taken place. It's been one day since I took over this body known as Elijah. Since then I was able to take on all of his knowledge and understanding of this world. At first I thought I'd have some kind of power, but alas I was just a ordinary human in a different world after all.
The maids looked at me as I hysterically laughed to myself. Ah they must think i've gone crazy. Maybe I have? No no i'm definitely sane even though I did kill myself... but that's for another time. I stared into the mirror examining my body, and let out a sad sigh. Short black hair, average height, slighly pale skin isnt this my original body after all. Well i guess my eyes are blue now instead.
In this new world I was the young King of the worst Kingdom in the world. There were only five human kingdoms. We lacked the populace, economy, and power of any of the other four. I don't have much knowledge of any non-human kingdoms but I'd assume we'd rank below any of their kingdoms. With my parents the previous King, and Queen dying in the last week I was thrust into the role of King as the only heir to the throne. It seems the previous Elijah wasn't up to the task.
Since there was nothing I could do about this situation I might as well see how far I can take this. I've played CIV before it shouldn't be to hard right... only against the A.I and on easy... I did usually quit after a hour but still!
"I Elijah Vi Britannia command you! gather my right hand!"
"Uhh.. K-King??"
Damn! I promised myself a day ago I wouldn't abuse this power. This poor maid has probably already fallen for me sadly.
"Can you gather the council."
"Y-Yes my King."
It would of been nice to have a cool power. I let out a sigh as I walked to the gathering room. The worst part about this new world had to of been the lack of cigarettes. At least there where tobacco pipes I guess. I sighed as a maid lit the end of my pipe with magic, and I inhaled the smoke deep into my lungs.

"Even my maids have more abilities then me."
"Sorry my King."
Is this how it is when you have maids I thought? So uptight. After waiting for a while three people finally entered the room. Mikel who was in his mid 30's commanded the army. I didnt recall speaking to him much, but he seemed like a serious person. He was all muscle with a tan-skinned body that was covered in scars, and bright blonde hair. Sasha was in her early 20's, and took care of the finances. She had a small build with pale skin, that contrasted with her dark black hair. The final person to enter was Jorg. He was a older man with wrinkles covering his body, and almost pure white hair. I didn't really know what he did though I guess he was taking care of the populace.
I coughed twice as everyone sat down to begin my greetings.
"It's good to see my loyal retainers all gathered before me."
Ah the way everyones looking at me is scary. Now what did I do first in CIV... I shoulda thought this over before calling them. Yes yes first I scouted! and then I made money. I don't think I ever beat the computer though. Well I don't need to scout since I already have the memories of this world right. It was then that my first Idea came to me.
"The goal in calling everyone here is of utmost importance to the Kingdom! I dare say we will be wiped off the face of this world in no time if we can't accompish this task."
My loyal retainers looked at me dead serious now. Yes this is life and death i'm not so foolish as to treat this as a free life since I didn't care anymore.
"We must become... RICH!"
All three of them let out a sigh as their hope in me seemed to vanish even though i was serious.
"No No think about it right were the worst Kingdom no matter how you look at it right? If we are able to become the richest that means we can do whatever we want!"
"And how do you plan on having us make money?"
Sasha's rebuttal was a critical hit. I had thought my finical advisor would side with me on this, but I still had a plan. With a serious look I stood up from my seat, and the three looked at me expectantly. I took a inhale of the pipe, as I looked out the window towards the setting sun.
"Thats why I have summoned my three loyal retainers. I believe in you all good luck."
I'm not gonna lie I looked pretty dam cool. But before I knew it the only one left in the room was my maid.
"I was cool though right?"
"Uh Y-Yes your majesty!"
I knew it.
