Chapter 12 - The King’s Gambit

All the onlookers stood in shock, there were two peopled crowned as kings in front of them, but who was stronger? Skill and Strength wise it was me but Pildu had the public's approval, this would make it hard for me to off him out of the blue. So I waited for Pildu to strike first, but I know he wouldn't take the risk so I began to walk away.

I had many stations under my control so I began to search for others who could possibly become kings, and I searched for people to join my side when I had to inevitably fight others. I headed straight for the Mind Controller, I knew for a fact he held a king title so I rushed to his station as soon as possible.

I held him up by the shirt and forced him to show me his status screen, and upon doing so I saw his King Title, King of Domination and Control. Fitting. I began to search for other King candidates, but the search proved fruitless as no one seemed to be one. All hope seemed lost until a notification popped up in front of me.

The King candidates have been selected, and now it's time to decide who the Absolute King is. The absolute king shall sit upon the absolute throne and all others shall bow before them.

#1: The Absolute Throne Dislikes weaklings, The Absolute King must have at least a Black Flag.

#2: He who dreams of the throne must desire it, take out all those around you who do not deserve to throne in your opinion.

#3: The King must stand alone without help, The King who challenges the throne must prove they are strong with their body alone.

This notification set everyone at ease, since this scenario only applies to the Kings they were safe, but unluckily for me, I was one of those kings. First thing I do is take out Pildu, now is the perfect excuse to get rid of him, next is Mr. Mind Control, he's a pushover.

Now all that was left was to wait for the other Kings to grow impatient and come to me, and they had grown impatient very quickly because within 10 seconds and man had jumped at me and punched a crater into the ground.

I found myself face to face with him, "You must be the other king, quite scrawny but I can see why you qualified." He said, I took out my hand and said, "Why don't we show each other out titles and shake each others hands before the battle?" I say to him, concocting a plan in my mind, "Sure, why not." He exclaims not knowing my true intentions, he shows me his status board.

His stats are all 5 lower than mine and I find that quite amusing, I put my hand up and look like i'm about the show him my stats but then I swing a punch at him clean in the jaw.

"You're quite stupid, no wonder your the King of Strength and Brawn, your brain is too small to comprehend my plan. Why don't you take a nap and resign from the competition?"
