"Gasp!"
Ivan lurched forward as he sat up out of his bed.
His body was covered in fine beads of sweat, his mind still clearly left shaken from the explosion of his computer.
After spending a few seconds adjusting to his surroundings, Ivan realized that this room was not his.
He was in a bright room, a royal room, simple yet regal, with only books and flower pots around.
"What's happening? Where am I."
Lifting his hand Ivan looked at his body in disbelief.
"W-White?!"
"My skin is white!!" Ivan exclaim; he was shock that his skin color has changed.
"What is going on in here."
"Where am I!"
He was baffled by his inexplicable presence in this unrecognizable room.
"I-I was accepting something... a-and... w-what happened after that!? Ack!!"
He attempted to recall his last memories, but a sharp headache engulfed his mind, leaving his thoughts shrouded in a haze.
It was as though two distinct memories, belonging to different individuals yet strangely intertwined, clashed as they vied for space within a single consciousness, leading to an agonizing pain.
As the pain grows stronger, drowsiness struck him, and his vision started blurring. He felt his eyelids droop, and he realized he was losing consciousness. "No, no, stay awake, Ivan," he whispered to himself, but his efforts were in vain. The darkness engulfed him, and he was left alone with his thoughts and fears.
****
After a while, Ivan finally woke up.
He opened his eyes, and stare at the ceiling in daze.
His mind is in turmoil right now. Memories that didn't belong to him appeared in his head.
In that memory, he was a prince, his name was Lucas Vermillion. A crown prince of the Gloria Kingdom.
He was raised to have the bearings of a royalty with a kind heart and bravery. He was loved and respected by the citizens of the kingdom.
But one day everything change.
A panel of an unfamiliar blue screen suddenly appeared in the sky - [2y-11mth-29dys].
It was accompanied by the darkening sky, like it was night.
Among those dark clouds, meteorites suddenly appeared.
Those meteorites were about 10 - 20 meters wide, and it was as if they were replacing those dark clouds, covering the whole world.
The people at that time began to fall into chaos, fear engulfed the whole world.
As the meteors falls down, it break apart in to countless pieces and then slowly descended to the ground.
Those things were the catalysts that made the world usher in to a new era.
Black stones were scattered all over the world. It was then discovered that the stones was a tool to transport your soul in another world.
The World of Axion.
It was the world where the strong is respected while the weak are treated like slave's.
In that world you can build your own kingdom if you have a "Sovereign core".
It was given by the will of the world to the ones who have a bloodline of a king.
At that time kingdoms appeared one after another and because of it... war broke out.
Chaos ensued as the war prolong for 3 years, that was the time that the blue screen timer in the other world stop - [0y-0mth-0dys].
The world of Axion and the world were the prince live merge into one.
'To simplify everything, I, Ivan who was from Earth died from an explosion, I transgressed into the body of a prince where his world encountered the -apocalypse-.'
'Pretty amazing right.'
'It's hard to explain, but when I occupy this body the soul of the prince is weak like it would vanish anytime while my soul is much more stronger that's why I completely merge with his soul and gained his memories.'
'I became one with him, his emotion, desire, and ambition assimilated with me.'
He calmly analyzed his situation to gain a better understanding of what happened and who he was.
"W-Wait this world is in medieval times so there is no technology."
"T-Then I can't watch the new episode of One Piece."
"I still haven't seen Luffy's gear five huhu."
Just as he was about to wallow in despair he heard the sound of the door opening.
Ivan, or more accurately Lucas now, looked over to the door to see a refined yet weary looking blonde haired man walking inside.
"Y-Your Highness..." cried the man in shock.
The tray of food in his hand fell to the floor but the man didn't seem to care and quickly rushed towards Lucas's side.
"Thank the gods!, you're awake! How are you feeling, your highness?"
Lucas felt dizzy at the rapid bombardment of words.
"I feel so weak." replied Lucas.
As Lucas said this, he could see the face of the man twist with both guilt and sadness.
"Forgive me, Your highness, it's all my fault due to my negligence."
Looking at the man by his side, Lucas tried to remember who this man could possibly be, it was then a word suddenly escaped his mouth.
"Brother Morgan..."
Morgan was his guard, he was trained to be a knight who will protect me from any harm.
He grew up with him and became his brother and best friend.
"Your Highness, are you okay."
Morgan's concerned words quickly snapped him out of his stupor.
Looking at Morgan, Lucas spoke grimly.
"How long was I out?, and what happened after the world merging?"
"Your highness, if you don't mind me asking... what was the last thing you remember after the merging?"Morgan asked.
Hearing this, Lucas paused for a while, he was checking the memories of the prince. and after taking a few seconds to arrange his words, he finally started speaking.
"I remember that after the world merge, my body in the Axion fell ill suddenly but that's just about all I can remember."
As Morgan heard the words that Lucas said his expression only got worse.
"Your highness, after you fell ill our Kingdom was attack by the Queendom of Gresha, they came from the outside of the barrier."
"They were part of the Witch race, they specialized in curses and dark magic. You were cursed by one of them that's why you fell ill."
"When the Kingdom was in chaos, King Francis ordered us to evacuate you, the prince, and the citizens of Gloria kingdom here in the underground City of Avalon."
"T-Then where father and mother... W-What happened to them?!"Lucas asked agitatedly.
"The carriage were the King and Queen was ambushed by the paladins from the Theocracy of Yharel " Morgan said with a pain expression.
