I open my eyes to see people kneeling infront of me. They all had distinguishable features and could be grouped into 3 different kinds of people at first glance.
But there were six different finds of people actually. These people serve me as I rule over them as a Potentate Monarch.
These six different groups of people are of course different races. Elves, Beastmen, Dwarves, Dragonnewts, and two of them belong to the Fae. The Dwarves and Elves might be difficult to differentiate due to their similar statures. But the Elves are limber and taller, while the dwarves are bulky and shorter. They both have pointed ears that have a similar structure to Humans.
The Dragonewts had scales around their bodies and also some had horns; there was one person in the room with 6 horns. The Beastmen had fur covering varied proportion of their bodies; some had little hair, some were almost completely covered in fur, their most defining property however is that they have a completely different ear structures compared to the other three in the room.
And finally, the Fae. They were small people that were difficult to see that composed of Fairies and Fae. The Fairies were basically lesser variants of the Fae who possess wings that allow them to fly. The Fairies were much smaller compared to the Fae.
"Rise!" A high pitched voice resounds in the room. Everyone rises, not bothering with that fact. The Fae fly up into the air, reaching up to my head level.
Everyone faces towards me. Their faces show mostly reverance, some just show respect, and a few although hidden, lust.
I place the cup that I was holding down, and rose myself. I covered my mouth using my sleeve for a moment while continuing to survey the surroundings.
"It is time to begin the 131st meeting, nya." I say as I uncover my mouth, "Boikin, give Callaly the report for the Dark Forest and beyond."
"Yes my liege, there has been no activity in the Dark Forest and beyond that, the Humans have not done anything new. However, there are signs that they are beginning to build seacraft." A man with 2 horns step out; a Dragonnewt. His full name is Ahdranican Hera Boikin. I address everyone by their family name.
"Callaly hears, we will adopt a wait and see approach to this. Do note that every Human is different. This goes for every race; no exceptions. Hadrica, how was the situation on the ocean?" Ahdranican retreats as soon as "Hadrica" was called while replying "I received your order."
"Yes my liege," an Elf stands out this time as he speaks, "We have found another vein of Coitra Crystal for our weapons and art. We have also found an Oil pocket of rank seven."
"Good, assemble underwater Deep Drillers for the Coitra Crystal. As for the Oil pocket, send 'Anametis' there."
"Understood." Enemano Kist Hadrica replied in affirmation. He then retreats.
"Hio, give Callaly the civil logistics."
"Yes!" A Fae energetically speaks up. "The excess wood has been made into mushroom farms as you ordered. A disease for wheat however seems to have appeared and we are currently containing it. We are using rice as a substitute for grains as you have recommended and our people can still be fed as the rice is fortunately, rank 3. Rank 8 wheat has appeared as well and is immune to the disease. There is currently a pureblooded Beastman who has broken the record of the highest age and is still alive."
"Good. That Beastman is the practically the symbol of our current prosperity, nya. Callaly wants you to make additions to the World Tree now. Callaly fills you in on the details after this meeting is over."
"Understood!" The Fae, Mi Lu Hio retreats after her affimation.
"Reltna, military logistics."
"Yes my liege," A short and stout man stands out; a dwarf, "The 'Leviathan' has been finished and is waiting your instructions. Moreover, we retrofitted the cannons to be more durable with the new material we got. The Leviathan can now go toe-to-toe with Aspirant ranked creatures. Even that giant squid beast that would sink many of our ships was killed."
"Very well, it is time to assign groups to perfecting and creating the newly prototyped ironclad warship. Also, begin working on the air warships that have been prototyped."
"I have received your command, my liege." Jill Jain Reltna responds as she retreats.
"Baldur, Callaly demands for military tech."
"Yes my liege." A man with a snout that matches that of a wolf and also possesses wolf ears comes forward. "We have finished training special forces for the sea, ground, and air. I believe you will be pleased to see their performance in the future, in the case we have troubles with the Humans to the East of us."
"Yes, well done." I say. I then sit down. "This meeting is over now." Everyone else then starts getting ready for departure except a few, the Fae who I asked to stay.
When the doors opened, the maids came through before the others could get out. And my cup was filled. I grabbed the cup with both hands and brought it close to my mouth to take a sip.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
"Un, now then," the tea was refreshingly sweet, "we need you to cooperate with the millitary for the defense of the World Tree since it is going to soon reach space. Any unusual occurances that you guys cannot solve, come to Callaly. Here you go." I gave her a sheet of paper from my sleeves and covered my mouth with my sleeve after she took it from me.
The Fae looks over the document and then looks back at me. I narrowed my eyes at her, she blushed barely enough for me to notice.
"Understood, I have received your orders!"
"Good, you may leave now." The Fae then flies through the doors at that response. After she left, I spat out something and it landed on the floor.
"Clean it up and bring Richie here immediately." The maids nearby stared at the deformed object in shock. But they soon gained their composure.
"Understood." One maid comes and picks up the object while another leaves the room. The maid who picked up the object also leaves the room with the object. Every other maid makes preperations to leave the room.
The object was, a solidified drug. It was a sleeping drug. I really hate it when they drug my drinks. So far in my lifetime, there has been 3 lethal poison assasination attempts, and 2 aphrodisiac drug attempts, and countless sleep drug attempts.
I have always resisted the poison and aphrodisiacs but sometimes sleep drugs work on me. They usually put the drugs
in the hot liquid food like soups and porridge, and that occasionally works as I sometimes confuse the drug with an herbal taste, but it rarely works when they put it in drinks as I immediately would notice.
The reason why they use sleeping drugs is because... They are aiming for my body. It's not too strange for someone to aim for me having to bear their children.
The main reason would be anyone who has a child with me, that child would have two times the lifespan of the person who had a child with me.
I usually brush it off when they put drugs in my food, but I would never forgive them if they ruin my drink. If I were to detect it, I would solidify the drug and then spit it out.
I am a Sovereign of the Capijune Kingdom located on the Capijune peninsula. Despite it being a peninsula, the land we have is huge, which has a makeup of forests, mountains, and plains. The landmass that attaches us to the rest of the Kijun continent is actually completely blocked off by the 'Dark Forest'.
The Dark Forest are treacherous lands that are hostile to every life form in the world with the exception of me. Only I could survive in the Dark Forest, hence no one except me would dare venture into it.
The strength of the lifeforms that inhabit the Dark Forest range from Heroic rank to Paragon rank. As for why only I can withstand the Dark Forest, I do not actually know.
And beyond the Dark Forest, is the rest of the Kijun continent where the Humans run rampant. From the reports of scouts, Human supremacy is taking hold of it, they have also established a religion.
As much as I wish to say that gods are fake, they are most certainly real. And it is unfortunate, as the gods actually interact with those under it's influence.
The palace which I live in, is built near the Dark Forest so that I could assist in reinforcing the front lines. Did I forget to mention that not even the gods could withstand the Dark Forest? Infact I've actually killed a god before by luring it into the Dark Forest.
The gods wish to covet me and my kingdom. Why me? I have lived longer than the gods who are on the planet, yet I am still 'mortal'. As for my kingdom, it is because my kingdom is the only civilization that has survived the onslaught of the 'Scourge'. Yet they dare not move because of the Dark Forest, and also that my strength is currently completely unknown.
Also as a result of fending off the Scourge, me and a number of my people have earned the title, 'Scourge Warden'.
Majority of the people have become nobles of my kingdom, and have a longer lifespan despite not being one of my children. Infact, I've heard that one of the Fae have had an evolution and are now a High Fae.
I haven't met that so called High Fae, nor has there been any confirmations with me about it. But I do not mind.
The strongest person besides me in my kingdom is of Boikin family. He is of Venerable rank, but he couldn't hold a torch to me.
My rank, is unknown. Estimations say that I am of the Spiritual Seraph rank. The reason why my rank is unknown is because there is a weird distortion where my rank is if someone were to appraise me. When that person showed it to me, I read 'Grand World' somehow.
And I hold only 3 unique skills. Normally, one person would have a bunch of normal skills, passive and active, perhaps a unique skill or two, but I only have 3 unique skills. No normal skills.
I forgot how I came to be, because I do know that I know how I came to be, but I forgot it for some reason. My race is a 'Progenitor Slime'. Yet I have taken a humanoid shape. The first thing that I remember is waking up in the Dark Forest.
It amazes me how much I have changed as well. From someone who was timid and naive to a great sovereign god slayer.
Despite being a Potentate Monarch, I have very little history of use of my power to suppress people. I rather use it for decisively getting rid of useless things.
Now for our fauna, it ranges from the harmless insect to the mighty dragons. I myself have a dragon that has submitted itself to me.
It submitted to me immediately when I approached it. It was strange since all dragons usually wouldn't submit to someone without a fight.
To disrupt me from my thoughts, the door opens a bit loudly and 3 men barge in. Two elves are dragging in another elf.
