IMPERIAL CAPITAL OF FREYR EMPIRE 363 A.E.
IMPERIAL PALACE, GRAND HALL
EMPEROR ALLEYN DE MONACH THE 3d POV
'Me and my damnable big mouth, why did I have to talk? FUCK, its coming this way !'
'Is this it? No! I still have my guards, I still have my army! Who this creature think it is !'
Spears intercept the creature as I breath out the breath I was holding and started to calm down, relief visible in my eyes.
The guards are sent flying smashing high in the wall near the ceiling, the creature took some steps forward, its already tall frame seemed gigantic from the other side of the table.
Soon the bodies of the guards hit the ground unceremoniously some already start to stand gripping their heads while others stay limp, small blood trails visibly where seen coming out of their mouths and eyes.
'It's the end isn't it? The people will remember the ridiculous Emperor that summoned a monster instead of a hero … I can already see my Empire burning … LIKE HELL I WILL LET IT !
If it can talk, it means it has intelligence! YES, THEN IT SHALL REGOGNIZE THE GREAT ME AS ITS EMPEROR! '
END OF POV
THIRD PERSON PRESPECTIVE
While the Emperor was indulged in his delusional inner ranting, Ren was complementing if he should ask the reason he was summoned or either just demand their lands and seas and get done with the first part of his new mission.
''I highly doubt these stupid creatures will understand their circumstances and just hand everything over' Ren thought as he had already lost all faith for these Homo Sapiens.
Surprisingly, he was right on that part even within this misconception.
Neo humans might have wars but robbery and theft where non existent, mostly because there was no reason for such actions, neo humans do not have to work, drones and A.I.'s doing all sorts of labor needed.
So basically neo humans just sit around lazing in their homes enjoying their immortality others, like Ren's case join the army to find adventure and feel like mortals , while their lives are in constant danger away from modern medical equipment.
Usually most neo humans get bored after 100 years of existence, having done nothing except the schooling course for the first 30 years of their lives.
If anyone thinks that neo humanity's civilization has stagnated, they are wrong, really wrong.
After lazing around as long as they want, a strange impulse is ignited within them to be, to exist to leave their mark and they truly do, others becomes scientists trying to solve more mysteries of the universe, not that many mysteries where left, this universe's discovery is going to make them act like small spoiled children, jumping up and down at the playground, expressionless neo human spoiled children at the very least.
Others started creating games from Full Immersion Reality to console games like the one Ren was playing, others become writers, heck, some even enter the martial path honing their skills for the rest of their lives.
As for Ren, he used to be a Reality Programmer before he sought adventure to fill the gap, he still never expected that within the army, he would find people to hate more than anything in his life, hating them even more than 21st century's music. These people where the officers … Basically his bosses.
But enough of that.
Ren made his decision on his next course of action and unaware of all the gazes just blatantly asked.
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
“Why have you summoned me ?” His voice echoing in the silent room, repeating his question over and over till the sound faded.
Concerned gazes where pointed at the Emperor but his answer betrayed all expectations.
“BOW WHILE YOU SPEAK TO ME” demanded the Emperor at the top of his lungs with a commanding voice, a hint of madness mixed with it.
Loud gasps where heard from the nobles only to quiet down after a while, returning the room in a deadly silent state while everyone anxiously awaited the creatures answer.
Ren on the other hand clearly did not understand why this monkey asked something so absurd so without wanting to bother with the over informative A.I. (Eww) He just asked.
“Why ?” his dark emotionless voice altered by the Hard Suit asked making everyone misunderstand his words from defiance to just plain indifference. Still the spark caused by their brave Emperor's actions brought hope to the eyes of the nobles, some eyes where even filled with anger.
'How dare this creature disrespect the Emperor, the Empire ! HOW DARE IT DISREPECT US, THE ELITES, THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY!'
Such thoughts filled their hearts and soon they where voiced breaking the silence.
“YOU BARBARIAN EVEN DARE ASK THE OBVIOUS” (Random Noble)
“AGREED, HOW DARE YOU EVEN ASK THE REASON, KNEEL BEFORE THE EMPEROR” (Random Noble)
“YOU UNSIVILIZED CREATURE HAVE YOU NO SHAME ? NOT EVEN WEARING CLOTHING ! YOU UNEDUCATED SAVAGE” (Random Noble)
Soon even more joined, filling the Grand Hall with angry voices, their content insults and curses towards Ren.
Ren hearing the voices, turned around to face them, their behavior amusing him as an image of angry chimpanzees he once saw in Animal Planet, the literal Animal planet, started overlaying that of the nobles making his mind trip of to remember the funny times and disgusting moments he had interacting with these creatures.
Its all fun and games, Ren thought, till they start throwing their food and feces at you.
Ren mentally chuckled before he was distracted by a flying silver disc filled with food coming in his direction.
He just shrugged the disk off with the gigantic arms of the Hard Suit not wanting to get dirty, his helmet briefly glistered under the light of the chandeliers, something that the cunning Emperor did not miss.
'Its a long shot, but the same was the move from before' The Emperor thought, a small smirk plastered on his face as the rest of the Royal family still looked shocked of how close they where to death.
Especially with the Emperor's gamble.
“SILENCE” Roared the Emperor raising a closed fist in the air.
Soon the room was once again silent while Ren turned once again to face him.
The Emperor glared at Ren and then with a sinister look yelled at him.
“I THE EMPEROR NAMED ALLEYN DE MONACH THE 3d COMMAND YOU BARBARIC CREATURE TO REMOVE YOUR HELMET WHILE AT MY PRESENCE!”
Many incoherent curses flashed through Ren's mind, clearly not wanting to remove it, as he found all the weird odors unpleasant and he highly doubted this room was disinfected.
'I guess I truly need the A.I.'s assistance now'
