Synopsis

Chapter 1 - The King's Castle

In the year 2021, a strange object was discovered Earth. It was purple in colour and looked like a diamond.

Strangely, such objects started appearing all over the world.

All the powers in the world started paying attention to this situation. Upon approval, countless experiments were performed on it.

One year later, a research team accidentally unlocked its true ability. That is to transfer the soul of a human to another world. A world of swords and magic.

This process was similar to playing a virtual reality game, except that the another world was a also a real world.

The higher-ups of the research team wanted to use these top secret to their own profits. Unfortunately for them, like dominoes blocks, the other purple objects were also unlocked.

Anyone who had these strange items could enter the another world. Fortunately, the governments had already seized all the objects before hand.

All the governments of the world wanted to use it for themselves but in the following year more and more of these objects started appearing out of nowhere.

They could no longer control it for themselves. Thus they decided on a solution. That is the formation of the World Federation.

After the formation of the World Federation, they quickly announced that the will of the universe has descended upon the mortal world.

These purple objects were named 'The Key'.

The World Federation announced that they decided to give chance to all the humans so they could survive these test.

In simple words, they wanted to consolidate their strength as the only world power.

The test that they talked about was named 'The King's Castle'.

During the next two centuries, countless humans used The Key to enter The King's Castle. Along with time, they also learnt more about the other world.

The continent on which the other world was based was called the Blessed Continent.

The world setting was that of mediaeval period where kingdoms and empires reigned supreme.

But that wasn't it, there were many powerful heroes and warriors. For the humans of Earth, it was no different than playing a virtual reality game.

Thus over the years, the common people slowly forgot about the mysteriousness of the Blessed Continent and started treating as a game.

But the only thing that made them realise it was that if they died in the other world, they would never be able to go back again.

In other words, there was no resurrection option of video games. There would be only two words if you die.

GAME OVER!

August 16, 4020.

In the grand hall of the Lionheart family.

"This year, all of you kids have finally turned sixteen. Now you all can use The Key since you have met its requirement of being atleast sixteen years old."

An old but majestic looking man was talking to four teens that looked to be about 16 years old. The old man was the current family head of the Lionheart family, Leonardo.

While the four teens, one male and three females were the only direct descendants of the Lionheart family.

As being the only direct descendants of the Lionheart family, all the hopes of the future of the family would naturally fall on their shoulders.

Now that they have turned 16, they could finally use The Key to descend upon the Blessed Continent.

Azrael, being the only man was naturally regarded as the future successor of the Lionheart family. Although his parents died when he was young, the other adults of the family treated him as their own son.

Thus Azrael felt a great sense of belonging to this family. Actually, he wasn't a person from this Earth but the real Earth.

Sixteen years ago, he got reincarnated into this world. Since then he lived with the Lionheart family.

He was regarded as a prodigy since he had the knowledge of a lifetime. It was easy to beat any kids his age with all the information and skills he possessed.

Also he activated a system called [King God System].

It would only be truly activated when he entered the Blessed Continent. But during this system years, the system gave him a mission which, with the strength of the Lionheart family, was easily accomplished.

The mission required him to find seven stones that were spread around the world. They were all of different colours. They had similar shape but just different colours.

Since they were only stones, they were easy to collect as no one except some collectors would buy it.

In just two years, Azrael had collected all the seven stones. Once he did so, the system collected the seven stones and used them to make seven different rings.

These seven rings had seven stones on it with a symbol on each that Azrael couldn't understand. After he asked the system, it replied that these seven stones were also The Key, but not entirely.

As they had in them a legacy of its own. These seven legacies also represented the seven elements that could be found on the Blessed Continent.

Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Metal, Lightening, Light and Darkness. The seven legacies were :

• Goddess Of Flame (Red)

• Goddess Of Frost (Blue)

• Goddess Of Wind (Green)

• Goddess Of Earth (Brown)

• Goddess Of Lightening (Yellow)

• Goddess Of Light (White)

• Goddess Of Darkness (Black)

At the same time, the system rewarded him with a right that had a rainbow coloured stone embedded in it. At its centre was a grey symbol of Chaos. It was the legacy of the God Of Chaos.

After completing this mission, another one was assigned to him. That was to find the Chosen Ones for the seven legacies.

Fortunately, three of them were in the same house as him.

Except him, there were three other direct descendants of the Lionheart family. All three of them were females and were born in the same year as him.

Elizabeth Lionheart, the eldest of the four, was the Chosen One of the Goddess Of Frost.

Angela Lionheart, the second eldest, was the Chosen One of the Goddess Of Light.

And lastly, Tina Lionheart, the youngest of the four direct descendants, was the Chosen One of the Goddess Of Flame.

By the time, he turned sixteen, Azrael was able to find the other four Chosen Ones. The Chosen One of the Goddess Of Darkness was an orphan, thus Azrael took her in the Lionheart family as his maid. Her name was Melissa.

The other three belonged to three great families. Along with the Lionheart family, there were a total of four great families that controlled the World Federation.

Fortunately, the four of them had an extremely close relationship with each other, thus there were no internal disputes.

The Chosen One of the Goddess Of Wind was Katherine Hestia. She belonged to the Hestia family and was also the granddaughter of the current head of the World Federation.

Regina Pendragon was the Chosen One of the Goddess Of Lightening. She belonged to the Pendragon family, one of the four great families and was also a prodigy just below Azrael.

The last Chosen One of the Goddess Of Earth belonged to the Hemsworth family. Her name was Kyla Hemsworth. She was well known for being kind and lovely.

Once all the Chosen Ones were found, the only thing left to do was to give them the seven rings.

Thankfully, with the help of Angela, who was the most understanding among the three sisters, Azrael was able to distribute the seven rings.

Now that the mission was completed, the system said that he could collect the rewards once he entered the Blessed Continent.
