There was a king, his people revolted against him and now he was running away from his kingdom to not get killed, he started to get thirsty but he only brought his horse with him, that king prayed to god for some water. A star fell down from the sky, it was his first time seeing something like this, he went to the direction that the star fell, he arrived at the place where the star fell but the star was nowhere to seen, instead the impact from the star made a pond, the water was crystal clear.
He got off his horse and crouched down to drink some water, but he lost his balance and fell to the deep pond, he thought this was going to be his end, he wished for water and now he was drowning in water but the water didn't kill him, he started to swim to the surface and he made it, he couldn't believe it and he was felt really strong, the king jumped in the pond again and reached the bottom, the start was there shining, he got out of the pond and realized it was already night time, he was in the water for many hours and he didn't drown. He thought to himself the god gave him powers, he got on his horse and rode back to his kingdom, there he realized he had powers, the first power he noticed was the charm on the female, every female in the world fell in love with him upon seeing him. The second power was the power of magic, he was able to fly, create and many other powers that he kept secret.
This man conquered the world in a month and became an emperor, he set up his own harem and lived for ten years but then he was murdered and eaten by his lovers, after that his lovers ate each other because they wanted to taste him more and more, and when there was only one left, she committed suicide because she wanted to be with the king.
The First Emperor was dead, now it was the time for his oldest son, his father dropped him in the pond when he was only a baby, and he gained his father's powers but The Second Emperor was a scientist and he started to research his own power, he created monsters out of humans and set them free, his monsters killed millions of people so, The Militia Guilds were established.
The Second Emperor caught the flu and he sneezed, a simple sneeze got him killed by his lovers because they all thought he was dying and wanted to be one with him before he died but they were all wrong, it was just the flu and because of this, a new tradition was put to place. When an emperor was going to die, his harem would eat him and commit suicide after that.
The Third Emperor was a non-believer, he didn't believe in any god and so he made himself the god, he set a system, every female child had to see the emperor talk in their lives, otherwise, they would become a heretic. This was called The Worshipping Day.
The Third Emperor also organized his harem, only the geniuses, experts, beautiful woman and the emperor's hand-picked ones were able to get in the harem, and because of this, the government was full of woman because they were all loyal to the emperor.
And now, The Eleventh Emperor, Ruthlian was the Emperor, he was a ruthless man and to secure his own security, he didn't use his lovers as bodyguards instead he used heretics, he took their love as hostage and forced them to protect him.

I looked at my wheat field, half of it was gone, I couldn't believe my eyes, half of my income was gone, how was I going to live through the winter, I made my way to The Militia Guild, I arrived at the counter and saw a man fucking the secretary, she was looking at a portrait of The Emperor. "Ah! Great Emperor!" This was a common sight, man fucked woman and woman thought the man as the emperor, I didn't like this but this was normal, I started to stare at the woman, I was going to ask something and the man fucking her turned to me. "Hey!" I got scared and jumped, everyone started to laugh at me. "It is The Wimp, what do you want ?" He held her hair and made her turn to me, he was still fucking her. "Y-Yes what do you nee- Ah!" "I was looking for militia to protect my field." She handed me a form. "Sign Ah! This and put your reward" I put five bronze coins on the counter, they all started to laugh, one of the adventurers came next to me and took the bronze coins, I was happy. "S-So you are accepting it, thank the emperor." He was larger than me, he turned around with a smile on his face. "Thank you for the drink Wimp" And kicked me on the ground. I ran away from The Militia Guild, no one was going to help me, I went to bed and cried until I heard a knock on the door, I went to the door with a hoe in my hand, I didn't want to get robbed, I slowly opened the door and saw soldiers at my door.

"Mister Ferious ?" "Y-Yes that is me." "You have won The Imperial Lottery." I couldn't believe what they were saying, I felt like I was the luckiest person on earth, I started to cry again, they didn't care about it and barged inside. "We will take your staff, you should go." A carriage was ready to pick me up. "B-But what did I win ?" The soldier turned to me with a smile. "A mansion and maybe a county if you get lucky." "If I get lucky ?" "Yes, another lottery will happen when you get there, good luck!"
----------------
I arrived at the mansion, It was a medium-sized mansion with two floors, I was still holding my hoe because I forgot about it. The soldiers showed me around the mansion and I had a bigger land than I used to have and the best part about it was that the wheat was ready to collect. I had to wait for my stuff to get here and collect it later on, so I went to my bedroom, there was a huge bed waiting for me, I jumped on the bed and I was about to sleep and then I noticed a door, it was the door to my office, the soldier didn't show me the office so I opened the door, the office had a big table, a comfortable looking chair, and books but there was a small red chest, I slowly opened it and there was a simple handmirror. I didn't care about it and put it back, and then I went to sleep.
I heard a very strong knock on the door, it was so strong that I heard it from my bedroom, I was still wearing my simple peasant clothing, I picked up my hoe and went to the door, again I didn't want to get robbed, I slowly opened the door. An old man with gray hair, gray beard and a blue military outfit that was covered by golden stripes was on my doorstep. "Hello!" His voice scared me, it was a very loud voice. "Y-Yes ?" "I am your neighbor, Cavalry General Alvis von Markitian," I noticed the sword sheath on his belt, he was really a general and a male one at that.
"No need to be scared, I will protect you." I didn't understand what he was talking about. "P-Protect m-me ?" He looked confused for a second and then realized something. "Oh! You don't know, it is about the second lottery, you know that much right ?" "Y-Yes, but what about it ?" "The second lottery is basically a one for all, the winner takes every mansion and the land here" "One for all ?" "Don't worry about that part, you will just have to kill the others and be the only one standing alive." I was confused and scared because of the word "Kill" I was so scared that I couldn't feel my legs and so I fell, he went inside while I was on the ground. "Is this your weapon ?" He held my hoe and started to examine it. "This can't be your weapon, what did you get from the red chest ?" "A-A handmirror" "Then go get it!" I ran to my office and picked up the red chest and brought it to him, he opened the chest and saw the hand mirror, he examined that and found nothing. "Maybe the chest has a secret part ?" He examined the chest and found nothing, there I was trembling with fear, he put the chest on the ground and looked at me. "Hey stop shaking, I told you I will protect you, now we have things to do." He started to walk to the door, I wanted to ask him something."Why are you protecting me ?" He started to laugh and turned to me. "Because I always protect the weakest." As soon as he said that, I lost my consciousness and fell to the ground again.
--------
I woke up, my head was hurting like hell, I was holding my hoe but something was wrong, my hands were all red and my hoe was red too, I didn't understand anything but then I saw the body of The general in front of my door, his head was bashed and his back was stabbed with something sharp, he was dead. I couldn't believe my eyes and I stood up. I started to run but I fell again, the blood was slippery and I felt my right hand touching something, it was the red chest and it was open, I didn't know why but I picked the hand mirror and saw my face, it was covered with blood and it was smiling at me, I wasn't smiling but the hand mirror was and it moved his mouth.
"I am not weak!"
