2 Kingdom of Vermenia
After choosing the skill, Edward felt a dizzying sensation, he had appeared in a forest.
The wood seemed empty, but he knew that this was not necessarily the case, and he would not like to be here to find out if the wood was empty, so he decided to follow a trail that was ahead of him.
After who knows how long he walked, Edward spotted a group of people who were making a fire while they were talking, he didn't know if he should interrupt their conversation to ask where he was since he feared they were like those novels he had read in the past, where the protagonist met people from another world and usually these people tried to kill the protagonist.
"What I'm thinking, I'm just gonna ask."
The group of people eventually noticed a boy walking towards them, but seeing that he did not seem to be a threat since there was no weapon in his body they ended up relaxing and curiosity could not fail to take care of them, since this boy was coming from the inner region of the woods of death, and there are rumors that few people can get out alive from there.
"Can you tell me where I am?" Looking at the group of people Edward asked.
Hearing the boy's question in front of him the man who seemed to be the leader answered Edward, that they were currently in the Woods of Death, and that here was the outer area of the woods.
"Aren't you from here, boy?" Asked the group leader.
Hearing the man's explanation in front of him, Edward sighed with relief that he had not found any beasts in his path, since the man had said that the inner area of the dead forest was extremely frightening and few people were able to get out alive, especially in the deepest areas where the beast kings live.
"I came from a very distant place and ended up getting lost."
Edward didn't know what to say to the man in front of him, he was probably one of the natives of this world.
"Can you show me where the nearest city or kingdom is?"
Hearing Edward's question the group leader pointed in one direction and told Edward that if he walked for a few more minutes he would reach the Kingdom of Vermenia, a kingdom that belongs to humans.
After hearing what the man said, Edward thanked him and continued his journey to the Kingdom of Vermenia, while walking Edward saw even more human beings, he even saw people of other races while walking.
Upon arriving in the Kingdom of Vermenia, Edward was extremely shocked by the sight in front of him, the Kingdom of Vermenia was simply a giant much larger than any country in his world, which caused him to be shocked, and he was still in the most remote area of the Kingdom of Vermenia, he could not help but imagine what the capital of this kingdom would look like since if the most remote area was already extremely lively then the capital would probably be even more so.
It was then that a thought came to his mind.
"Why don't I build my own kingdom?"
This thought could not leave Edward's mind, it was as if he always wanted to build a kingdom but he did not know where this will came from, it simply appeared and no longer left his mind, it was then that a message from the system interrupted his thought.
"Ding! You were selected to take the legacy test."
"Choose your legacy..."
Then a list of legacies appeared in front of him so Edward could choose.
• Legacy List -
• Legacy of the Celestial Phoenix Empire
• Legacy of the Azure Dragon Empire
• Legacy of the Zhou Dynasty
• Legacy of the Kingdom of the Night
• Legacy of the Empire of Heaven
• Legacy of the Vlarolá Kingdom
• Legacy of the Kingdom of Qing
• Legacy of the Sui Dynasty
…
There were thousands if not millions of legacies for Edward to choose from, he doesn't know why he could choose a legacy, but he decided not to care and just go with the flow.
While looking at the legacies he could choose he had recognized several of them, but as they did not seem to please him he decided to choose one that did not exist in his world, the Legacy of the Celestial Phoenix Empire, after choosing the legacy a wave of dizziness took over his body and before he realized it was in an unknown place.
"You had begun the test for the legacy in a few moments, in case of a failure you will not receive the legacy."
Hearing that he would have to pass a test, Edward could not help frowning, he knew that it would be extremely complicated to pass this trial, but he who does not take risks does not snack, besides the thought of creating a kingdom had not yet left his mind, and he was determined to build one.
Suddenly he felt slight dizziness and found himself lying inside a room that was adorned with dragons and phoenix, he imagined that this was probably the test the system had said, but he simply did not know what he had to do.
"Maybe I have to kill someone?" Edward thought.
When he tried to get out of bed an extremely powerful pressure that weighed against him, and each time he tried the pressure increased, after several attempts Edward managed to get out of bed and the pressure he felt began to slowly decrease causing Edward to sigh in relief.
Looking around the room, he found a letter that was on a shelf and next to the letter there was a simple dagger, but what surprised Edward was that he could see the statistics of the dagger that was on the shelf.
[Old Dagger] Grade: Common. An ancient dagger used in the ancient Empire of the Celestial Phoenix, became common grade with time. Statistics: +1 strength, +1 agility.
Reading the description of the dagger he couldn't help but be shocked, as it looked a lot like an RPG game.
"Can I see my stats?"
After thinking about it, Edward saw a screen in front of him that showed all the information about him, which made him very shocked since everything he thought was happening.
Name: Edward Rovere
Age: 16
Breed: Human
Profession:
Title: None
Cultivation: Stage 0
Statistics: Strength: 5, Agility: 5, Endurance: 7, Intelligence: 9
Growing Technique: None
Skills: Healing (0/100)
Equipment: Standard Shirt, Standard Pants, Standard Shoes
After looking at his stats Edward realized that the Sendor World, looked a lot like RPG games, the difference was that this was real life and dying was not an option. He was also a bit disappointed with his stats as he was really weak, any human being could likely kill him easily.
Turning his attention to the letter Edward can see that it contained various information about this world, first, the Sendor World is hundreds of times larger than the earth, there was also information saying that his real body was not within the Sendor World but this was only temporary as once the Sendor World devoured the earth his body would merge with that of the Sendor World.
Furthermore, the passage of time was completely different as one year on earth was the equivalent of three years in the Sendor World, but this was not of extreme importance at least not to Edward who was still young, moreover, it seems that even if he died in the Sendor World he would not have a real death, he would only be punished and could not enter the Sendor World for one month and would also lose all his abilities, powers, cultivation, i.e. he would have to start again from scratch at death.
The human world is not the only world that will be devoured, seven other worlds will also be devoured, which made Edward's complexion pale, since he knew that once other worlds went to war with the human world their chance of losing was extreme, especially if the other world is one of those fantasy worlds.
Luckily in the first year of the Sendor World, they could not attack or be invaded, but still, a year is an extremely short time, and building a place to protect themselves during that time seems impossible, so not only he but other people would have to rely on existing kingdoms to protect themselves.
When Edward finished reading the letter, it just disappeared, as if it was never there.
Taking the dagger Edward decided to finish this test as soon as possible so that he could find a place to settle, he knows that it will be extremely difficult to build a kingdom in a single year, but he would at least start recruiting some people so that he would not pass so many difficulties in the future.
After thinking about these things, he finally started walking towards the door to see what was waiting for him in this legacy test.
