'This is a good place,' A man in the crowd thought, as he go and sat on a seat with a lot of people gathered around.
'I, I should, do it now...' He thought as he put his hand in his robe to take out the key of thier plan here but suddenly, someone put a hand on the hand in his robe.
Just that alone was enough to make him sweat like crazy at the mere thought of failing in his mission and was about to hasten up his action, but then he saw the face of the person who stopped him.
"There is a slight change in plans," Doki said, putting his hands in his pockets, "We will begin before the finale..." Doki said and was about to leave when...
"Bu, but why?" The man asked, causing Doki to stop and look at him, 'because we need to find someone and kidnap him...' is what he wanted to say but...
"Will it change anything?" He asked, his voice having heavy and filled with grief as the man eyes widened, "No," he saod in the end, before boweing and sitting back on a seat.
Doki stood at his place for some time, lost in his thoughts as he looked at all the people gathered in the stadium, the newly wed couple, parents with family, and even a school was here on a trip with little kids.
He doesn't want to do it, he was afraid to do it, but he knows he have to do it, after all, someone has to bear this burden or the next generation might as well be the last human generation.
They need to win against the invasion of an Outer God, without the help of the Rose Empire, the puppet of Gods, it was a War against everyone including time, and they need to win it no matter what.
'And a war demands Sacrifices...' He thought, looking at all these people one last time, knowing fully well that after today, he will loose any place he might have in heaven.
But he was ready to face Hell, as long as they can win, for he has already sinned a lot, and today, he will take part in what would be the Dark Day of the World's History, and his name will not be remembered kindly.
However, 'If for humanity to survive, they needs a Villain, then so be it, we will be that villain...' For you can't win against those, as long as you are playing by rules...
"Prince Avender El-Sheeran!!!"
.
.
.
In the VVIP room, King El-Sheeran XI was watching the ongoing talent evaluation round with the little to know interest.
He was a tall man standing at a height of 6 foot 5 inches, which was be able average for this world, with wavy red hair and red eyes, which is believed to be a result of the blessing of Dragons thier ancestor recieved.
Through there is doubts that beings like dragons exists but if there can be invaders like Para-demons, there can also be dragons out there.
Beside him was the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, the authority second only to him, and before the dukes.
While he was watching the contestant Come and gone stage one by one, he couldn't help but sign a little, "there are too many talents this year alone," he said as the Prime Minister just nods.
"Indeed Your Majesty," He said, looking at the stage, "The Number this year alone, breaks the records of all the past year records." Saying so, he went silent before a servant came and whispered something in his ear.
"The Duke of North wants to meets your majesty," The King was about to agree but when he saw his son being called on stage, he changed his mind.
"Let him wait," he said, looking intensely towards the stage as a smile appeared on his face, after all he already know the result, he might just be a King but his son, he has the talent of the REAL KING...
(King ranked talent, 4th Rank Soul Core)
.
.
.
"4th Rank Soul Core!" The man said as he checked the orb. Yes, he expected The Prince to be talented but he never expected him to be this talented.
At best, he thought that it may be third rank one but never in 100 years could have thought that the Prince has the talent of KING rank.
The public was also equally shocked but then, a mini choas broke out in the crowd.
"4th rank? Did he say 4th rank?!"
"Oh god! The Prince has a 4th rank core! He has the talent to be a King!!"
"A genius! A one in a hundred years genius!"
"A Prince? It will be tricky..." Doki said, looking at the stage, however just the the mirror he had with him started to shine as his eyes narrowed before he left to find a corner.
"What is it this time?" He asked, as the most senior of the 7 shadows appeared on the glass surface, the only one who did not join them on this grand mission this time but instead astayed with the Curropted Emperor.
"There is a slight change in the plan..."
.
.

"A king?" Oliver said, looking at the Prince on the stage just like other.
"Dear, will Mike be alright?" Maya asked, worried about Mike now that something which no one expected suddenly happened.
"It's fine," Oliver said, calming not only himself but also her, "There are also nine more spots to grab, as long as Oliver get matched up with Prince in the last Round, it will be fine."
He said, consoling her but he hated the fact that he has to bet things on luck, after all, he knows how unpredictable luck can be.
'I am sure he will do just fine, after all I trained him for a year long, as long as it's about combat, he can beat anyone with same ranked Soul Core as him but...' he thought looking at Prince, 'Kings are build different.'
