12 Chapter 12 - Reverred Immortal Monarch!

"T-this... H-how is such a thing possible?!"

The village head Samo couldn't help but to stutter as he exclaimed. Being the village head for a few decades, adding up to his current age of over 90 years old, he had trodden many places and experienced many strange things in his adventure when he was in his prime. However, never before such a scene played in front of his eyes.

This phenomena that was occurring right now had overshadowed everything he knew about the world!

"To build up a house out of light in but an instant... Unbelieveable!"

When the village head finally composed himself a little bit, he remembered the words spoken by the young man who reported to him about this Sorcerer, Gosu. That fella has mentioned to him before that this Sorcerer has descended down from the sky!

His previous placid eyes of old age suddenly seems to gleam brightly like a star in the night sky. He was now convinced that this Sorcerer in front of them was someone of extraordinary bearing and background! This might just be the turning point for their village to shine, grow and prosper!

Wasting no more time, he spoke to the Sorcerer in front of him in renewed excitement with a tone of utmost reverrence and respect.

"Sir Theodore, what you have shown us is by no short a miracle! As a representative from this village, we implore you to stay in our humble village and we will do our utmost best to satisfy to your every need!"

With the approving nod from the surrounding villagers, Theo couldn't help but to shake his head slightly in embarassment. Not to mention them, even he himself was quite surprised with his abilities given by the system. It was truly out of the boundaries from the common sense of the world!

"Thank you everyone, I promised to help the village to grow in prosper in return!"

Bowing his head slightly to everyone with the gentle look of a scholar, he moved forward to open the large door of his house.

A 'creaking' sound resounded as he slowly opened the door.

Looking inside, he was stumped! What he saw before him was a large hall with several large wooden supporting pillars. The hall was filled with the scent of expensive wood, mahogany flooring! Truly extravagant in style!

Sitting at the very end in the middle of the hall stood atop a mighty throne embroidered in gold and leather, with the heads of two black panther draped on both the soles of the armrest.

The throne alone projects boundless domineering aura to those who gazed upon it. Feeling of reverrence and wanting to worship the throne began to surface in the hearts of the villagers when they saw this!

As Theo saw this grand display of his house, he immediately asked the system.

"System you damned being! This is no longer a hut! Especially with the throne? How will I explain this to the villagers?!"

Theo was quite panicky right now.

However, his back was the one facing the villagers, so they didn't see how incredelous his face are currenlty.

[Ting!]

[Responding to host inquiries: As the host are bestowed with the ability of a Ruler by the great deity, befitting of such a title, the host's residence will be fully equipped with a main hall, a mess hall, a kitchen, rooms for servant.. etc etc..]

The system continued to list the rooms available on and on.

[The residence are also imbued with a separate dimensional space, detached from the physical plane and exists on its own axis. Thus, able to enlarge and shrink at will. The ability [Ruler's Abode Mode (Lv1)] has been created.]

As Theo heard the replies from the system, he cried in his heart. Although he loves to act tough, this much extravagance display towards the public, even he himself are quite embarassed. Thinking back to his equipments and zero pocket money, he was like a pauper before and had to rely on his acting skills. Now his residence was like a mansion.. no, like a castle instead.

Wasn't this like the saying where 'Gold on the outside and coal on the inside'?

Feeling that he needed to explain things thoroughly to the masses, it didn't take long before his mind started to cook up stuff to scam the public.

Theo first sighed mysteriously before walking slowly towards the throne with his hands clasped on his back. His footsteps reverberated throughout the hall creating a melancholic atmosphere, while his shadow extending long and big as the two lantern besides the throne shone on him.

When he reached the throne, his right hand touched one of the heads of the black panther on the armrest. Exhaling another sigh seemingly to reminisce about the past that was filled with both glory and bloodshed as he touched them.

He then began to tell his stories.

"This... When I was in the upper realm, I was a soverign who ruled over a country. This residence here was my first abode and filled me with many memories.."

He stopped for awhile and continued while slowy going up onto the throne one step at a time.

"My great generals, my ministers, my retinues, followers and servants.. this is the hall where my loyal subjects meet me to discuss the affairs of my Kingdom."

Finally reaching the throne, he turned himself to adjust properly, and slowly sat down on the throne, with his left hand supporting his cheek, looking aloof as if it was natural for him to sit on the throne since the beginning of time.

"Thus, I decided to bring it here onto the mortal world, to once again start things anew with this residence of mine as the starting point."

Saying that piece, he first observed the reactions of the crowd and saw that their eyes were glistening with respect and reverrence. He smiled and delivered the final blow of crap onto the public!

"Becoming a supreme singular monarch on the upper realm, achievements superceeding anyone else, until it reached the ears of the deity up above and tasked me to oversee this mortal world and prevent it from destruction."

Hearing this, the village head couldn't help but be alarmed and immediately asked.

"Destruction? Do enlighten us sir Theodore!"

In his heart, Theo felt ellated as the fish has taken the bait. He was thoroughly impressed with himself and his acting, had this been the old Earth, he could win a nobel medal for this! He tried hard to suppress himself from giggling and laughing out loud.

Continuing his act, he reclined his back and sat upright, tilting his head 45 degrees to the ceiling, seeming to encompass a vission of vissicitudes of life, no longer looking staunch and aloof. Replacing them were the majestic aura of a soverign. He clenched his fists tightly before he finally spoke.

"In a few years, the devils will come to invade this realm! My mortal enemies!"

With a stern gaze seeming as if it would penetrate the ceiling, towards the sky and into the universe where he could see in an isolated pocket dimension, that the devils was trying to break through from the void. Of course, he couldn't really see it but his acting was so good that this was the impression and imaginations the villagers received from his act.

Hearing this, the village head no longer cared about his old age and status as the elder of the village. He cast away his cane to run forward before kneeling onto the ground and kowtowed before Theo.

"Ohhh! Reverred Immortal Monarch! We are but a group of foolish mortals and peasants, knowing nothing but rakes and simple farm tools as our weapons to plow on the field day and night! How can we survive this oncoming ordeal against the devils when we haven't even mustered with real weapons before?! We beseech Reverred Immortal Monarch to save us!"

"We beseech Reverred Immortal Monarch to save us!!"

Everyone by then entered the hall in a rush while following suit what their village head did and repeat that last phrase in a synchronus harmony.

"We beseech Reverred Immortal Monarch to save us!!"

These repeating pleads and cries from the crowd began to encompass the hall, with the masses kowtowing towards Theo who sat on the Throne.

Now, it really looked like Theo had become their overlord.
