Kizuna had finally realised what was going on, that he was in a game.
"Don't be crazy Kizuna. How could I get trapped in a game. It's not possible. "
"Wait a minute! This all started when I pressed enter. Was this the new update?"
"General black! Awaiting your command, sir!!"
"Ugh... that name again. "
"I remember. "
"General black was the name of my avatar in"MORNACHIAL LEVELING"!"
"Then that must mean that if I really got sucked into the game?"
Kizuna was again in shock.
"Oh, Black. Are we gonna have the duel that you challenged the king of atlas to, AKA my father!"
"Wait... I challenged him?"
"That can't be... I remember challenging the king of atlas to war right after I passed level 9. This battle ground was the exact same place I, in this case general black was in at the end of level 9."
"Then that must mean that... "
Kizuna had made a discovery.
"When I got transported into this world.... I became... my avatar!
"DAMN!... I never thought I would say this but mom was right, video games are dangerous!"
"Wait... mom! She must be so worried right now. "
Kizuna worries about his mother.
"If I'm really trapped in the game and in the body of my avatar, then I should be able to do this...
Kizuna rose his head up high and closed his mouth. Then yelled....
"STATUS BAR!!!"
Kizuna opened his eyes and saw something in front of him.
"I.. I can't believe it. "
"It WORKEDDD!!!!"
A status bar just like in the game had popped up right in front of him.
"It actually worked! Now let's check it out!"
He immediately realised that only him could see his status bar.
"That green line up there must be my-HP bar-, so if it goes all the way down I die, Huh?... "
"There's some other cool stuff up here like... "
[VITALITY] 27.
[STAMINA] 23.
[STRENGTH] 35.
[MAGIC POWER] 30.
[75000/700000 TO NEXT LEVEL].
"No way!... I even get EXP? This is so cool!"
"So if I reach 700,000 EXP, I reach the next level, Huh?"
"Then... if I reach the next level, will get like EXP points or some kinda skill? Wait... come to think of it... what's my current level? If I general black and got all of his attributes he gained from level 1-9, then that should mean... "
Kizuna looked up to his status bar, hoping that what he thought was true.
LV.125
"Aha... just as I thought. I've gained all the skills, weaknesses, EXP and stats general black had since the last time I played "MONARCHIAL LEVELING". If that's so then... "
Kizuna had gotten more attuned to this new world he had been transported to. But luther, the man leading the army on the opposing side of Kizuna had lost his patience.
"Hey black!! Are we gonna duel or what!?!"
"Oh my... is poor old Luther getting mad?"
"Old!?!"
Luther's fellow brothers in arms looked at Kizuna, or in this case, General Black, with distaste after the mockery he had given their leader.
"Your gonna regret what you just said!!! You better come at us, or we're gonna come at you guys first! And believe me, you're not gonna like That!!"
Kizuna's comrades begged him to give the command.
"Sir! What do we do sir!?"
Kizuna had gotten ready to give the command.
"Oh Luther!"
Said, Kizuna.
"Oh, I'll come at you all right! After I do this."
Kizuna chuckled.
"Open INVENTORY!!"
"Yes! It worked!"
Kizuna was excited.
"INVENTORY! Extract... "
Kizuna decided to extract one of his items from his inventory.
"GREAT SWORD OF SHIBA! GOD OF THE REALM OF FLAMES!... "
Luther was confused on what Kizuna was doing.
"... AND ALL THINGS FIRE!!"
Suddenly, a giant sword came out of nowhere. Even Kizuna's comrades were confused.
"General, sir! A giant sword just appeared on top of ya!!"
"Don't worry about it. "
Said, Kizuna.
"Huh?"
"My fellow comrades! Get ready!! On my command!!!"
Kizuna gave his command...
"And... "
He yelled...
"CHAAAARGE!!!!"
The fight had begun.
Their horses began to move. Luther had also given his command.
"Warriors of atlas! The opposing warriors of lotus kingdom!... "
Kizuna had forgotten the name of his own kingdom. Made sense, because he always hated the name. Why lotus?
Now let's see what Kizuna's GREAT SWORD could do.
"This sword is my most valuable weapon. It's also my only A-rank weapon. "
In this world, items are assigned ranks depending on their value.
F-rank(LOWEST).
E-rank.
D-rank.
C-rank.
B-rank.
A-rank.
And last but not least...
S-rank(HIGHEST).
Which consists of S, SS, SS+ And SSS+.
"Alright! Let's test this great sword out!!"
The GREAT SWORD was given its A-rank because of it's ability. When person injured by the GREAT SWORD OF SHIBA, they would catch on fire in an instant. FIRE so hot, nothing could exstinguish it.
It is said to be so hot, it even destroyed their souls. It is said to have gotten it's immense power thousands of years ago, when a great sorcerer sealed the GOD OF THE REALM OF FLAMES, SHIBA, inside when he tried to burn the entire earth into a crisp.
Kizuna had realised that he had never been in a war before and nervous, wondering if he would come out of this battle alive.
"Come on Kizuna. This is your world now and there's nothing you can do about it right now, you have to accept this as fate. "
Kizuna accepted reality, that this was his life now. He gained a little self-confidence.
"Well at least i have the GREAT SWORD, then that should mean that I can do this to... "
Kizuna decided to test out his magic power...
"MAGICAL BARRIER"!!
Suddenly, a dome covered Kizuna and all of his comrades.
"General Luther! What's going on?! We can't penetrate through this dome!"
"Relax my comrades. It's just Black's magic. "
"Ugh... magic?!"
"It's really nothing to worry about. He'll run out of mana eventually trying to keep that barrier up and running. We'll speed things up with a little magic of our own. Mages! ATTAAACK!!!"
Kizuna was running out of mana, but that did not worry him much.
