[Govhik POV]
The king has finally awoken after slumbering for how many years.
The King's red eyes and sharp fangs, I can feel it, he's strong. I couldn't sense any magic power from him at all, that only means one thing, his level is higher than mine. The possibility of him not possessing magic power never crossed my mind at all.
It was scary but exciting at the same time, a king is born strong unlike us who had to try everything just to achieve a small feat. But with him as our leader, we will rise.
As I was lost in thoughts, I heard the king asked us in a calm tone, "Who am I?"
Then before I could answer, someone did so. "You are our King, Your Majesty."
I nearly facepalmed myself at his answer, this idiot!
"Do you think I'm dumb? Hah?!"
His Majesty bellowed loudly and a ripple of invisible force made us tremble and fear, it was the legendary, noble blood. That only a king can possess and sometimes in a rare occasion, a chief.
We prostrated and lower our heads in fear and answer his question, correctly. I quickly said and even bit my tongue in fear:
"Your Ma-Majesty's name is Riezkir Bathory III."
"Please forgive us for our insolence and stupidity, my king!"
We remained our heads low while we feel the gaze of the king bore into us, it was heavy. I don't know why and how but it was scary.
After a seemingly infinite time, the king ordered us to leave his chambers.
"You all can go, I need some time to organize my thoughts."
I was about to sigh in relief when he said the last sentence that made my heart drop.
"But you, you will remain and accompany me." His Majesty said as he look me into my eyes, his red fiery eyes seems to spit fire when I directly looked at them so I turned my gaze away.
My fellow shamans cast me a pitiful look, Bah, I will strangle you all later!

[Riezkir Bathory's POV]
I let them go, except for this shaman that quickly answered my question before. I hope he is smart enough unlike the other one.
I asked him about random things, what did he ate, what did he do when I wasn't born yet etc. then a sudden sharp question.
Just like a bullet from an unkown trajectory, I asked him what I am worried about, "What is the thing you injected onto that capsule?"
"That...That....."
He hesitated and stutter when that question was brought out, so something is really fishy about that liquid, huh.
I looked at him calmly without making a fuss, sometimes, they will fear you when you don't show any emotions except calmness.
They won't be able to read any of your thoughts at all, even actions. You will become bigger and bigger in your opponent's eyes as time passed as an invisible pressure enveloped his/her fickle mind.
A few minutes go by, his forehead and back is drenched in cold sweat, I could see it.
Fear.
His eyes conveyed what he is feeling at this moment. He was afraid, and a wave of pleasure assaulted my mind as I want to see him more in that state. My eyes curved in happiness. Am I a sadist? I don't care but I like this feeling that gives me happiness.
It was exciting, but I fought myself back and held the urge to torture him. I needed to squeeze out those smelly things.
After some seconds, he finally gave in.
He said that it was the vial in the their treasury that every chief always safekeep. It dates back to when the first King was born and reign, his name is now forgotten but his treasure is still remains. The vial was a mystery and no records were found even in the memories I recieve.
They injected something they didn't know the contents of it? These shamans are really audacious and crazy. I need to punish them severely after this.
He is afraid that something might have happen when they injected that liquid, after all, he knows that the ruler will recieve the inherent knowledge of the past rulers to the current king. But I don't know or don't think something is wrong with my body, maybe it just acts as the fuel for the inherent knowledge to pour onto me?
It doesn't matter, I don't meddle with things outside of my control.
Then I asked him questions after questions, I basically milk him out all the informations he have. I dismissed him after I saw his exhausted appearance. Was it really tiring that much to talk to me?
Well, nothing I can do about it. I sorted out my thoughts and compile everything that is relevent as of this moment.
I don't have magic power, but no one knows it except me. I don't have any solution regarding this at all.
The system called, 'Class Change' that everyone has. It was the thing floating at the side of my retina. Basically, it was the one who helped us get strong. You can get skills and technique here in class changing aside from acquiring it manually by training and creating it. This is also the reason why, I am not worried about not possesing magical power at all.
The world structure, this world isn't the same as my past life. But it is a like a pangaea continent, just larger and bigger, around 20 times? Based on my memories and what Govhik said, it is around that scale.
Then, the power structure. at the bottom was the slime, goblins, and kobolds and such. At the middle are the elves, vampires, dryads, dwarves and humans and many more out there. Then the elusive demons, gods and dragons at the top that resides at the so called "heaven".
They don't interfere that much at the mortal world, but there are some exception like the Light God that have his kingdom erect. The Holy Light Kingdom, one of top powers that stand tall at the mortal world.
And I am in the territory of a relatively strong kingdom, Lykos Kingdom. Lykos, in this world's language means blue gem.
This kingdom's main income is mining the blue gem, lykos. It was a magic stone that have a good compatibility with the magic power and a considerable amount of magic power. Why did I say they are relatively strong? Because they are lacking in knights.
They have many miners and blackasmiths but low at knights at all. But they are still strong because, the magic stone lykos acts as a fuel in their magic cannon for example or their magic barrier at their wall outside the city.
Fortunately, I, no as a king, I should consider my subjects also. We are in a relatively remote area. With a couple of villages surrounding us.
As their king, I only have two duties. Govhik said, "To led our race to properity and our enemies in despair."
A goblin king, huh.
This may not be bad at all.
