Chereads / The Rising of Kingdom of Fate / Chapter 16 - Chapter 15 : The First Visit to the Human World

Chapter 16 - Chapter 15 : The First Visit to the Human World

Author: Cyclo Kingdom, ruled by humans, displays opulence and dominance with Cyclo Castle at its heart. It contains 20% of the Abmebirin continent. Elves and beast-persons, once free, now serve as slaves, toiling in markets, silently witnessing a darker truth beneath the kingdom's grandeur. The ruling elite's halls echo with whispers of intrigue, while the subdued vibrancy of the enslaved population contrasts with the opulence. Captured from distant lands, they build monuments to the kingdom's might, a stark reminder of their subjugation. The tamed landscape, once wild, reflects the kingdom's order, and the once-vibrant forests stand as silent witnesses to conquest.

.....

.....

The place is abuzz with activity as Takahiro and Fate, using their exceptional build skills, construct a grand castle at the center of the community. The sound of hammers and saws fills the air as the structure takes shape.

Fate(smiling):

"Takahiro, the castle is nearly complete! Our build skills are quite the duo".

Takahiro(grinning):

"Indeed, Fate. Working together like this, we can achieve wonders".

They admire the progress they've made, the castle standing as a testament to their collaboration. The orcs look on, impressed by the magical craftsmanship.

Lara(approaching):

"With our combined build skills, the castle will be the envy of any realm".

Takahiro nods in agreement as Lara activates her build skill, completing intricate details.

Lara(building skill activated):

"The roads are finished too. Seamless integration with the landscape".

They all take a moment to appreciate the place's transformation.

...

(LATER)

...

As the sun sets, Takahiro and Fate sit by the newly built castle, a sense of accomplishment evident.

Fate(content):

"Our build skills turned this village into something remarkable".

Takahiro (smiling):

"Working side by side, we've created a haven for all races".

Fate(looking around):

"What's next, Takahiro?"

Takahiro looks thoughtful for a moment.

Takahiro:

"I've been considering a visit to Cyclo Kingdom. I want to see how human cities are in this world".

Fate(raising an eyebrow);

"Cyclo Kingdom? A bold choice. Any particular reason?"

Takahiro(curious):

"I want to understand more about the broader world we're living in. It might open up opportunities for alliances and cooperation".

Fate(smiling):

"Always thinking ahead. Alright, let's plan the journey".

Takahiro and Fate, sitting near the newly built castle, discuss their upcoming journey to Cyclo Kingdom when Lara approaches, an intrigued expression on her face.

Lara(joining the conversation):

"Cyclo Kingdom, you say? I've been there before".

Takahiro(raising an eyebrow):

"You have? Why didn't you mention it earlier?"

Lara(smiling):

"I went there before I was captured by Ultra Goblins. But it's been a while, and I'd like to revisit".

Fate(grinning):

"The more, the merrier! Let's make it a group journey".

Takahiro looks at Lara, a playful glint in his eyes.

Takahiro(chuckling):

"Well, Lara, your ears will cause some problem. They will capture you if they saw an elf like you".

Lara(smiling mischievously):

"Ah, but I have a trick up my sleeve".

Lara closes her eyes, and a subtle magical energy surrounds her. When she opens her eyes again, her pointed elf ears have transformed into human ears.

Takahiro(surprised):

"What... how did you...?"

Lara(laughing):

"Elven magic, my friend. Now you won't have trouble keeping up".

Fate and Takahiro exchange amused glances.

Fate( chuckling):

"Well played, Lara. Let the journey to Cyclo Kingdom be a memorable one".

....

(AFTER 1 WEEK)

....

Takahiro, Fate, and Lara stand on the outskirts of Cyclo Kingdom, having teleported to their destination.

Takahiro (looking around):

"We made it. Cyclo Kingdom, here we are".

Fate(somewhat distant):

"I've got some work to attend to. I'll catch up with you later".

Fate departs, leaving Takahiro and Lara alone.

Lara(smiling):

"Now that Fate is occupied, how about we explore the city together?"

Takahiro (nodding):

"Sounds like a plan. Let's make the most of our visit".

They stroll through the bustling streets of Cyclo Kingdom, taking in the sights and sounds.

Lara(teasingly):

"You know, Takahiro, I've heard that humans in this world often go on dates".

Takahiro (smiling):

"Dates, huh? I suppose we could give it a try".

....

....

Lara(smiling):

"Beldrunton has such a vibrant atmosphere. I can see why humans enjoy their cities".

Takahiro(nodding):

"It's a different energy compared to our orc village, but there's a charm to it".

They pass through bustling markets, street performers, and quaint shops, immersing themselves in the diverse culture of the city.

Lara(teasingly):

"I heard humans often enjoy trying various foods during dates. Shall we?"

Takahiro(smiling):

"Absolutely. Let's indulge in the local cuisine".

.....

.....

Takahiro and Lara find a charming café and settle into a cozy corner.

Waiter(cheerfully):

"Welcome! What can I get for you today?"

Lara(glancing at the menu):

"Surprise us with your specialty, please".

Takahiro nods in agreement.

Waiter(smiling):

"Coming right up!"

As they wait for their order, Lara looks around the café.

Lara(playfully):

"I've heard humans often engage in entertaining conversations during dates. Any interesting stories to share?"

TAKAHIRO

(recalling)

Well, there was the time Fate and I had to negotiate with a group of mischievous orcs in the orc village. It turned into a comedy of errors.

Lara laughs, enjoying the shared moment.

Waiter(placing their order):

"Here you go! Enjoy your meal".

They share a delightful meal, savoring the flavors of Beldrunton.

....

....

Lara and Takahiro, having enjoyed their enchanting date in Beldrunton, find themselves in a quiet, moonlit spot.

Lara(looking at Takahiro with a soft smile):

"Takahiro, tonight was truly memorable for me. Thank you for making it special".

Takahiro(smiling):

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, Lara. It was a wonderful night".

Lara takes a deep breath, her gaze holding a mix of courage and vulnerability.

Lara(seriously):

"Takahiro, there's something important I want to share with you".

Takahiro looks at Lara, intrigued by the sincerity in her eyes.

Lara(heartfelt):

"Tonight made me realize how much I enjoy being with you. Takahiro, will you be more than just a friend? Will you be my partner in this journey?"

Takahiro, caught off guard but deeply moved, takes a moment to process Lara's words.

Takahiro(gently):

"Lara, this is unexpected, but I feel a connection too. I don't have all the answers, but..."

Lara interrupts, leaning in and kissing Takahiro softly. The moonlight adds a touch of magic to the moment.

Lara(whispering):

"You don't need to have all the answers. I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me".

Takahiro, feeling the sincerity in Lara's kiss, smiles and returns it.

Takahiro(smiling):

"Lara, I'm willing to embark on this journey with you. Let's face whatever comes our way together".

They share another sweet kiss under the moonlit sky, sealing their commitment in the heart of Beldrunton.
