With only a day remaining before the official announcement of his kingdom, Ryo traveled with his sister, Ayaka, showing her the finalized nation. They visited various towns, observing the craftsmen's dedication, the bustling bathhouses, cozy cafes, and lively inns. Everywhere they went, the citizens, composed of different races, worked harmoniously, preparing for the grand occasion.
As they made their way through the capital, Ryo arrived at a clothing store named World of Clothes. He couldn't help but think they should have put more thought into the name, but he entered regardless.
Inside, an elderly tailor greeted him with a deep bow. "Your Majesty, the outfit you requested is ready."
Ryo nodded, stepping forward as the tailor revealed the attire. It was a masterpiece, a statement of dominance and power, befitting the ruler of a new nation.
The long black coat, crafted from Void Serpent's Hide, shimmered subtly in the light, appearing like the abyss itself woven into fabric. It had black embroideries running across its length, forming arcane symbols that pulsed faintly with mana, reinforcing the coat with protective enchantments. The inner lining was deep black, resembling the void itself. The high collar and layered shoulder guards gave it an intimidating presence, exuding an aura of authority.
Underneath, a fitted black tunic, made of Aether Silk, clung to his form, offering unparalleled mobility and resistance against magic. Black gauntlets, forged from Draconic Mithril, adorned his arms, laced with enchantments that enhanced his physical strength. His boots, made from Nightmare Beast Leather, absorbed sound, allowing him to move without a single noise, ideal for both combat and stealth.
The finishing touch was a black sash around his waist, embroidered with intricate dragon motifs, a mark of his heritage.
Ryo smirked, slipping into the outfit. It felt weightless, yet the sheer power contained within it was undeniable. This was no mere clothing—it was a statement. The ruler of the soon-to-be-announced nation had arrived.
The next day, as the sun reached its zenith, the grand ceremony began.
A massive crowd gathered in the heart of the capital, where an enormous platform had been erected. Representatives of each race stood side by side—Vampires, Dragons, Elves, Beastkin, Dwarves, Demons, and even Humans who had chosen to migrate. The air buzzed with anticipation.
Ryo stepped forward, standing atop the platform, his new attire gleaming under the sun. His very presence commanded attention. As he gazed at the sea of people, he took a deep breath before speaking.
"Today marks the beginning of something greater than any of us." His voice resonated across the plaza, enhanced by magic. "For centuries, we have been divided by race, bound by outdated traditions, and shackled by those who refuse change. But no longer."
The crowd stood silent, hanging onto every word.
"This land shall be a sanctuary for all who seek freedom, strength, and unity. No longer will we be categorized by the blood in our veins, but by the strength of our will! From this day forth, this nation shall be known as Eldoria—the land where all races stand as one!"
A thunderous cheer erupted, shaking the very foundation of the capital.
The Vampire Lord and the Dragon Emperor exchanged approving nods. The Elf Queen, the Beast King, the Dwarven Chieftain, and the Demon Lord stood tall, acknowledging the significance of this moment.
Banners of Eldoria unfurled across the kingdom, bearing a sigil that combined the emblems of all races—a dragon's wing, a vampire's fang, an elf's bow, a beastkin's claw, a dwarf's hammer, and a demon's horn—encircled by a ring of golden flames, signifying unity and power.
The city streets filled with celebrations. Music and cheers echoed as people danced and feasted in honor of their new nation. The taverns overflowed with laughter, and fireworks exploded in the sky, illuminating the night in vibrant colors.
As the festivities continued, Ryo stood on the balcony of the royal palace, watching his people rejoice. Seyra and Selena stood beside him, their eyes gleaming with pride.
"You did it," Seyra said softly.
Selena smirked. "Eldoria… I like the sound of that."
Ryo exhaled, a rare smile gracing his lips. He had come a long way from being an outsider, thrown into a world that sought to control him. But now, he had forged his own path.
His kingdom was no longer just a dream. It was reality.
And this was only the beginning.
Eldoria: The Nation of Unity
Capital: Dracovia Main Races: Vampires, Dragons, Elves, Beastkin, Dwarves, Spirits, Fairies, Demons, and Humans Government: Council of Representatives, with Ryo as the Supreme Ruler Symbol: A sigil combining elements of all races encircled by golden flames Motto: Strength Through Unity, Power Without Chains
As the night sky blazed with fireworks, a new era had dawned.Ryo Takashi, the Accidental Supreme, the Banished One, the One Who Returned from the Dead, had now become something far greater.
He was the ruler of Eldoria.
Author's Note:
I didn't include the symbols of Fairies and Spirits in Eldoria's sigil because Ryo has yet to meet or communicate with their nations. As for the Elves and Dwarves, he had the chance to meet their leaders and establish relations. More developments to come!
