1 The New King

It was a new day for the kingdom of Garthea, the whole population was at the capital already to accept their new king.

The Garthea kingdom was a kingdom with less than 500 years of history not much compared to older kingdoms and empires. In those 500 years of history, the kingdom had been experiencing an extreme drought that had lead on for 500 years.

All this because the first king had disrespected the first god that sponsored the kingdom and he had cursed the kingdom to be without water for around ten thousand years.

"Have you heard the new king is only 16,"

"Yea apparently he's the only one left with the blood of the first king,"

"This must be a sign from God,"

"What God, this a cursed land I would have left if I could,"

"We might even be able to attract a God to sponsor us"

"What god would look at this kingdom, even if they did we have no offerings,"

"F*** if it wasn't for that dam oath I wouldn't even be here,"

All around the Captial of Garthea you could hear discussions of the new king and about how he would bring forth a new era for Garthea.

'DAMMMIT, WHY ME'

In a luxurious bedroom that could barely be called luxury, a 16-year old boy with long blond hair was mumbling about how bad his luck was.

"System"

[16 minutes until system synchronization]

While waiting for the system Dube looked in the mirror appreciating his new appearance.

It had been 10 days since he had transmigrated into this new body and he was still getting used to being so good-looking.

When he had first transmigrated he felt as if he was a few minutes away from death and then the system appeared asking him if he wanted to bind with it and he accepted of course.

When he was binding he went through the memories of the original body and it turned out that he was the last surviving member of the royal family in the Garthea kingdom.

Everyone else had either disappeared or just ran away, leaving the original body the chance to becoming king.

When Dube first learned of this he was excited and exhilarated, he was going to become the king.

Then he went through the rest of the memories and found out why some of the royal family just left the kingdom.

The biggest problem with the kingdom was that it was cursed for 10,000 years without water and it's only been 500 years since the curse.

The other problem was because of the extreme drought all vegetation in the kingdom had died and the only way to get water was from the low-level water magicians that had stayed up until now.

The further Dube went through the original memories the more disappointed and listless he became.

This wasn't the same world, Gods, Monsters, Dungeons, and even Demons all existed, furthermore this kingdom was just too poor to even be called a kingdom so it's no wonder that the population of the kingdom is only around 10,000.

As for those that stayed, their families had either made some oaths to never leave the land or there a runaway who escaped to the kingdom since no one would spend time looking for them here.

While thinking of his upcoming demise, Dube heard the door open and a few maids came in.

"Your Highness it's time for your bath," One of the Maids said while bowing respectfully.

From what the maids knew the King was someone who had practically never left the castle. He was also the last person in the Kingdom with the blood of the Garthea royal family who was still in the kingdom.

"I'll do it myself you can all go wait out by the door," Replied Dube even though he's been here for 10 days he still wasn't use to having other people washing him.

When the maids went out Dube went to take a bath, today's the day he was both waiting for and dreaded.

He was going to become a king.
