*** Somewhere in Frenasia, Aurelian Kingdom: Kingdom of the Lion
Twirling a glass of delicious red wine in her hand, careful to not spill a single drop, she uses her other hand to slowly push her long black hair behind her ear. As she does this she swings her leg over her other and leans back up against the red-padded throne she sat upon all the whilst she flutters her eyelashes at the person that stood below her looking as if he had struck gold. His face was flushed an amusing pink and his eyes seemed to tear up at the sheer fact that such beauty had looked interested in him.
Bringing up the glass to her lips, she smirked and took a small sip. She had him hook line and sinker.
'π»π’ππππ πππ π π πππ π¦.'Β
"My lady, I have just received some important news from the system." Turning her head to look next to her, she met the blue eyes of her butler. Her butler was dressed in a nice trailer black suit that was clean and proper. Not a ruffle, nor a piece of hair could be seen which was a testament to what kind of person he was. Rykell Hord was the perfect butler just much as he was a perfect Light elf.Β
Light Elves were early seen out amongst the world as normally they confined themselves to a forest with their kind. However, when she had been a mere helpless thing she had happened across Rykell on the outskirts of the said forest, and for the first time in her life she had made a friend.
Eyes narrowed at Rykell she waved her hand toward the human that stood below her in dismissal. The human appeared to be slightly annoyed at the prospect of being dismissed but before he could utter a word two of her guards, that were guarding the entrance door to the throne room, locked their arms around his and proceeded to drag him out. Once the human had left and they were now alone she spoke. "What did the system say?"
Rykell answered promptly. "It seems the πΎπππ has arrived. I'd say that means this game of chess we were pulled into is just about to start."
Her heart jumped in excitement at the news. She couldn't help the pure joy that lit up her face in the form of a blinding smile. "The game will begin? I see. I cannot wait!"
Nodding his head along with her words, "Though the system didn't reveal much I cannot wait either. Did you wish for me to look into finding πΎπππ?"
Now looking at the system message that appeared in front of her she thought it over. For a small bit, it was like playing tether rope but only one side was completely dominating the other whilst they desperately tried to get at least a semblance of progress. Then suddenly the rope was tugged harshly and the other side had failed resulting in them falling into a pit leading to nowhere.
"No. He'll eventually come to us I'm sure. And if not then the system will lead him to us," She looked up at Rykell. "Just as the system led me to you."Β
Holding his right white-gloved hand over his heart, he bowed. "As you wish my lady."
And that was thatβ the game was short to begin.
**** In a Forest somewhere in Frenasia
Gently rubbing where his heart was located through the worn-out shirt he woke up in he focused on walking away from the clearing he was just sitting in ignoring the pain. Back before he woke up in that clearing he had not done much physical activity other than walking about and standing for his part-time jobs which was most definitely the reason why his heart hurt. He had used to play sports but ultimately he never continued and at times like this, he regretted it.
[DO YOU WISH TO TURN ON TIPS?]
Tilting his head slightly at the panel accompanied by the familiar robotic voice, he pressed 'accept' and was immediately greeted by a tip he really should have thought about.
[TIP #1: IF ONE WISHES TO SEE THEIR STATUS SIMPLY SPEAK THE WORD 'STATUS' AND IT SHALL APPEAR.]
Gently running a hand through his hair he was reminded of his current situation.
Alone surrounded by unfamiliarity. Taken from all he had known.Β
What was he supposed to do?
Truly he wasn't sure how to feel about any of this really. Some part of him deep down was a little scared but a traitorous part of him felt incredibly relieved about all of this. Back at home, he was completely overworking himself and everything just kept piling onto his shouldersβ each day brought something new to weigh him down. The worst part about it all was he didn't have a goal in mind at all.
He was simply in college and working part-time jobs because he had to. Because that's all that was expected of him from everyone around him.
He never did anything for himself.
"Status."Β

Unlike the previous times, the box that appeared before my eyes was much larger and was much more appealing to the eye. It was white in the background and the text was black (so that didn't change much) but all around the edges was a gold lining that swirled creating a unique design. Amongst some of the swirls along the edges were roses as blue as the ocean.
They were stunning but a bit weird as he has never seen these types of flowers before.
Crossing his arms and shifting more of his weight to one foot, he reads his stats."Hmm, kingdom level? Considering the voice lady keeps calling me πΎπππ I could probably guess but it's still a bit weird. It's likeβ¦seeing my actions before they even happen but who's to say I'll have a kingdom of my own?" he hummed as he imagined it. "Although it does sound kind of niceβ¦or well having tons of money without worry does."
The relief of not having to worry about money creates a stable mindset and a healthy lifestyle. At least that was how he saw it because of just how much he had to worry about having enough food or having a roof over his head. He'd see all those celebrities, who of course worked hard to earn such and loved their jobs mostly so he can't fault them for that, seemingly without care of such problems and he knew that was what he wanted. He said he didn't know what he wanted to do with his life and that was true because he was too busy worrying about being stable.
Too focused on just being able to survive and make sure he would survive in the future too.Β
Maybe he'd find happiness that way? Or that's what he assumed at least.
It was all he knew how to do so he might as well carry it over here and make sure he survives now and in the future.
Looking down at himself dismissing the stats panel, he grows a bit disgusted. "Suppose I should look for some new clothes." his stomach grumbled loudly. "And some foodβ¦maybe there's a village nearby?"
