Chereads / Lord Jormungand / Chapter 2 - The state of affiars

Chapter 2 - The state of affiars

After being sent away by god I open my eyes to see that I am standing in front of a white crystal ball that is giving off a light that is slowly dimming. I take my hand of the crystal ball and look around the room that I'm in and see that it is one of those old cathedrals which are made of grey stone that looks neither old nor new. Along the walls there are statues of five different people that I can only assume are the human gods of this world and a lone wooden door.

The first of the statues of a large man covered in heavy armor and is carrying a giant halberd so it must be the god of war. The second statue is an old man with a long beard dressed in a robe and holding a staff so he should be the god of magic. The third statue is of a beautiful woman that has flowers in one hand and what looks to be a small animal in the other so she is probably the goddess of life. The fourth statue is of a person in a large robe that hides any feature that could define him and leaning on his shoulder is a scythe so he is most likely the god of death, and the last statue is of a little girl that might be around the age of ten or so and in her hands she is holding a scroll so she might be that goddess of knowledge.

After taking in my surroundings I look back at the crystal ball and see my reflection. I look handsome for only being ten years old with my jet black hair and deep red eyes which if I say my self is a bit weird but it might be normal in this world. Well now I need to know my name so do I just think and it will show me my status or do I say something. Thing about it there soon came a small blue screen in front of me with a few worlds on it.

Baron Atlas Jormungand: Male

Age: 10

Class: Apprentice lv1 /20

"Cool I got the apprentice class but what does it even do?" with that said a new screen appeared.

Apprentice: a class that increases the speed you level so that you my advance to the next class faster.

"Well that's helpful I guest this is a bonus from god. Now I should leave this room and go greet those who brought me here."

I move to the wooden door and open it and leave the room and outside there are two old men one of which is wearing a black suit of sorts with grey hair and was a whole head taller than the other man that is in a white robe that is probably the priest of this place.

Before I could check their information the old man in the suit comes up to be and bows and says "My Lord what class did you obtain from the awakening?"

Wilson Norton: male

Age: 58

Class: Great Knight lv12 /75

Great Knight: The class of a man that is willing to protect others and live by a code to help others when needed to. Great Knights are great in combat and out of it; they are required to study when they are a squire so most tend to be good at managing things. They will be good a good force for any lord.

"I got the class apprentice Wilson. Now let's go back home I have a few things that I would like to discuss."

Wilson nodded his head and looked to the priest and said "Have a good as you see this must be important." With that he guided me out side to a pitch black carriage that gave of a feeling of dominance over all the people that were walking around the street. After getting inside of the carriage Wilson looked at me and said "My lord what do you need to talk about."

"Wilson can you tell me about this territory and the resources we have."

"Yes My Lord, although you are only a baron do you the efforts of your grandfather and father in the war of succession between the king and his brothers your family was given a large territory close to the boarder. You have four knight families as vassals one of which is mine and you have two large iron mines, with close to fifty thousand people in territory as the population the largest town being 15000 and that's where we are now sir. May I ask why you want to know up until now you were more or less uncaring of these things my Lord."

I looked him in the eye "If you must know I am now ten so that means I now have a class and that needs to be strengthened so I can be ready for the next war. Now Wilson I after we get to home call the heeds of the vassal houses."

Wilson gave me a nodded and the rest of the ride to the lord's manor was silent. As it took twenty minutes to get home I was able to notice the looks of this world which was nice it felt like a medieval world but the streets were very clean which means that they have some sort of pluming system and the houses were both wooded and stone which shows a nice level of building. The people I saw seemed to be happy and they wore nice cloths so the place at least has an okay economy.

After an hour of having reached the manor which was a three floor mansion that was made of a dark stone and the same would of the carriage I was sitting at a table with four men one of which was Wilson who had a smile on his face. There was Arthur Livi, Willian Coster, and Willard Bell.

I first looked at Arthur who was wearing fancy clothes with a fancy design on them he looked average at best nothing seemed outstanding. He wasn't the tallest nor the smallest, he seemed like he was just you everyday person. He was also a great knight like Wilson but weaker.

Arthur Livi: male

Age: 53

Class: Great Knight lv5/75

Then I looked at William who was wearing training clothes that showed his arms which were covered in scars. He has a wild look about him like he loves to hunt and kill. I the checked his information and was saw that he was actually a higher level than Wilson despite being younger.

William Coster: male

Age: 45

Class: Great Knight lv16/75

I then looked at Willard; he is a larger man both in height and girth. He seems to not be bothered by the fact that his clothes are messy with stains so I won't bother with it either. His class level is the same as Wilson but he is even younger then William.

Willard Bell: male

Age: 40

Class: Great Knight lv12 /75

I look at the four of them and smile "From today onwards we will be changes that happen in my territory so I hope that you can help me so let's get this meeting going."
