2 Chapter 1 - Part 1 - The Arrival of The Overlord

Although he was not a bright person, Artura Lion is not stupid or crazy. He was quite sane… Ehem… He is by no means a mental person as far as he could remember… That's right, he is not crazy, he still could think straight and as clear as a crystal.

But it seems that being a shut in that he is, he finally broke his mind and now has gone crazy.

"Ahahaha…"

Artura… Let's just call him Lion, let out a bitter laughter as he surveyed his surroundings. He didn't know what he should say in his current situation. This is by no means a dream, he has confirmed it the moment he woke up in this strange place.

The last memory he remembered were him drinking his juice…. And choked to death… As he remembered that the juice entered the wrong place, Lion then clutched his head and fell to his knees.

'Hooowww laaaaammmmeeeee!!! WHY!? Why do I have to die like that!? At least let me die by Truck-kun or die by saving someone else damnit!'

A silent anguish filled his mind as he clutched his head with his hands. His expression were that of shame, regret and many more as it changed from one to another in a seconds.

...

.....

...…..

After a few minutes that seemed like a decade later, Lion then stood up with a heavy sigh, his eyes started to wander around as he circled and looked around him, this time, he was taking it more seriously.

He knew that he died, but then why was he alive now? Not to mention that his body were filled with explosive power. He feels like he could take on the world and destroy it with a wave of his hands…

Though, he was by no means a superman or something like that, so he was sure that it must be his inner eight grade syndrome coming out because of his confusion.

After he surveyed his surrounding, he concluded that he was in some kind of ruins of shorts. The place he was standing on were like some kind of altar that was used by some idiot cult. It creeped him out a little, but he still need to think about his current situation so he ignored it.

He was standing inside a magic circle like thing that was painted with red… Blood red to be exact, he didn't want to know if it were real blood or not, but he was really creeped out like hell.

On each ends of the magic circle were a skull candles that seemed to burn creepily. The fire were strangely purple, and he was surrounded by it making him made a shit eating expression.

"…. I must've been really out of it for me to notice this just now."

Lion muttered with a low voice. He didn't want to alert whoever it is that made this kind of shitty, dangerous and creepy as hell ritual. But he was more concerned as to how his dead body got taken without being noticed by anyone.

"Is this a planned murder?! Then again, I got choked to death by drinking a juice… So that was not possible. Then did someone steal my body from the hospital or something? But how the hell am I alive now? Is this… a ritual to revive the dead or something?"

Lion was trying his best to make some sense into his situation. He pondered as he looked around him again. He could see that the walls were broken and the ceilings were gone, being replaced by a beautiful night sky that has a bunch of shiny stars and a bright moon that give little light to the darkness around him.

From the broken walls, he could see an endless green plains that stretched so far ahead to the point where he couldn't see anything beyond it. All he could see is nothing but darkness… Well since it was night time, and his only source of light were the creepy as hell skull candles, he was not the least bit disappointed.

He's just annoyed at how weird his current situations was.

'Am I dead or not? Is my body entered some kind of suspended animation kind of thing? Or this could be the work of a sick and wretched person that believed in a stupid cult.'

An annoyed groan escaped his mouth as he looked around him again.

Although the place were in ruins, Lion was having a weird sensation that he was familiar with the place. As he still didn't dare to go into the deep of the unknown place, he was standing still and lost in his own thought as he tried to remember something.

He was not sure as to where he on earth he was right now. But as the saying goes, no matter where or what the situation is, one need to be calm and think rationally. Panicking won't do any good and it will only worsen the situation.

Although he couldn't remember anything about the place where he was standing. He need to at least move from the creepy place.

'I don't want to know what those batshit crazy psychos are going to do to me.'

He then made up his mind to just go outside the broken ruin that seemed like a temple and look around what's it like in the outside. But of course, as nervous as he is, Lion still need to make sure that he was safe for now and could run away in a moment notice.

Even a HikiNeet is a human, Lion was scared at the mention of dying. As calm as he appears to be, he was actually glad that he's still alive and dreaded the fact that he actually died because of choking. He need to be careful when he drank his drinks in the future is what he noted with all of his heart.

And so Lion then took a step forward slowly and carefully trying to not make any sound. However, when he was near the skull candles, he felt very annoyed and kicked one of the candles with his right leg.

*Think* *Clink* *Clank*

The candle flew and hit the wall as it made a metallic sound as it hit the wall and dropped to the stone floor. He then continued to walk again with a small but steady steps before he stopped.

"….. I was too focused on my surrounding that I forgot to inspect myself…."

Lion said to himself with a frown on his face. He then looked down at his feet and saw that he was wearing what seemed like a black leather boots. He was sure that it was made from something not leather as it was far sturdier and more comfortable than a normal leather shoes or boots.

It was strange however, he was sure that he didn't wear anything but his long sleeved red t-shirt and a short pants in his memory. Then why was he wearing a cool looking boots and a black pants? He looked like he was about to go on a date or something…

"No matter how much I hate to admit it, I am single and my only partner is my left hand. So that option is a bull…"

He said with a stoic expression and then fell silent as he looked down on his upper body and patted it with his hands. He could see that he was wearing a black V neck t-shirt and a black leather like long coat that has a silver fur around his neck. At the end of the sleeves were the same silver like fur that was so soft to the point that he wanted keep rubbing it.

Lion then noticed that he was actually wearing a ring on his right hand index finger and middle finger. The ring on his index finger were decorated with a red diamond that was shaped into a star.

While on his middle finger were a purple skull ring that emitted a faint black fog like thing around it. He was really surprised at what he was seeing, the ring looked really ominous that he was tempted to take it off and throw it away.

However, he has a reason why he didn't do that and just stared at it with a surprised expression. He recognized the ring, he was really familiar with the skull shaped ring on his right hand middle finger.

It was one of the items he won when he killed the super ridiculously OP boss in a game. {The Ring of Death Lord}, It was a fucking OP item for god sake! He was so damn crazy about it to the point where he kissed his LCD monitor when he got it.
