4. The Last king

"I cannot move much but, I'd have to quickly heal myself,"

Vader muttered to himself sitting on the lower bed while scanning around him.

People will soon wake up. He cannot stay in the dorms and will need money to survive. It is clear that he'll be in trouble.

"What should I do first?"

He'd have to begin planning as soon as possible. Before revenge, he has to get himself things to defend against others. Making exoskeleton suits and other things robots comes later. Firstly he'll need to buy a nonlethal weapon to defend himself.

'Don't have time to waste.'

He mumbled and slowly placed his foot on the ground and raised his body.

'Arghh fuck!'

He cursed, gritting his teeth as he got his leg lurched because of the pain.

He didn't get proper medication. He was just given first aid and wrapped in bandages so he first needed to visit a proper doctor. Also, he needs to visit the police station from time to time as well. Lastly, he needs to prove that he isn't guilty but, the problem is he used a weapon on a police officer.

He didn't know what sort of guy he brought to use him as an eye witness but, he was sure that he was a guy from the streets, who'll do anything for money.

Vader stuffed a cloth inside his mouth to clench his teeth as means to endure the pain and continued walking. He covered himself with a cloak to conceal himself but at the same time, he made sure to not get attention just from doing so. The cloak resembled just a simple plain cloth.

Since it was early in the morning most of the people inside the dorm weren't awake. As such there wasn't a need to do it but, Vader was certainly cautious to not be made to face trouble.

This was one of the reasons he woke up early but, in truth, Vader wasn't able to sleep for even an hour. It was a nightmare for him. He couldn't sleep comfortably and had to endure the pain. Also his mind was in chaos.

Apart from the physical pain, he was mentally affected by his girlfriend that he had to go through depression for a few months.

He couldn't blame her. He was a son of a peasant who works as a housekeeper. while his ex's boyfriend is a son of a rich family. Moreover, Youngman was in the second position when it comes to the ranking board of his academy while she is the third. He can understand he'll suit her more.

The terrible thing was she was trying to find a reason to dump him and used the reason for him being weak to cut ties.

'I should have some reserves... "

He mutters after stepping his foot to the entrance of the long corridor that was built with excellent marble and intricate designs. The dorm was built a hundred years ago and served as a dorm for the scavengers in those times. The architecture was phenomenal, thanks to the last king who was known for his innovations.

He slowly placed his foot inside the long hall where the safes were in and walked towards one of them and opened the safe after rotating the dial.

The first thing he saw was a letter with his name imprinted on it. It was something he lastly received from his girlfriend.

He just slid it into his pocket and went through his things. There was a small bag and a change of cloth in it. He picked it up and threw his necessities into it. Finally pickets up a hand-sized metal box that contained a few coins and opened it.

'Thirty Jades, Seems enough to stay in a cheap lodge for a while.'

He contemplated after counting them.

The coin was made with a jade green metal, with a face of a man with a luscious beard wearing a crown, on the side of the heads and two vintage revolvers crossed the face of the tails.

The owner of the face on the coin was the last king, Fredor Kleo, an innovator who immensely developed the country, Bodium. Bodium is said to be the most developed country among its peers and known for its prosperity.

The last king introduced motors, engines, dynamos, generators, and guns. But, that was all the improvement the country ever got. The country leaned more towards stellar energy and things that rely on it instead of science. As such there weren't any great inventors or scientists over the course of recent years.

Well, there were actually a few but their inventions didn't cause an impact in Nanor.

Nanor's core influence is the stellar energies and things that rely on it. One can say Stellar energy is similar to that of magic with some twisted logic of science implemented on it. According to the ethnic people of Nanor's life relies on the entirety of the universe and things in it.

Nanor's core is an abnormal one that absorbs stellar energy from the universe and distributes it to the lives in it.

However the last king, Fredor Kleo introduced science into a world that should have been a fantasy world. He was one of the overpowered men in history and said to be the strongest among his predecessors as he conquered lands that were once owned by Meta beasts, One among the strongest race in Nanor.

Meta beasts are a type of monster that infects humans and mutates them into brainless brawns that are enslaved to the omega beasts who are like the brains of Meta beasts.

The last king, Fredor Kleo, brought new innovations and contributed to the country with as many things as he can and reformed it. He even changed the dictatorship way of ruling into a democratic ruling; this was also why he was called the last king.

'Was this a fellow earthling?'

Vader commented looking at one of the coins and slid it into his bag. His perception and views about the Nanor changed but, thinking back, the last king was known for his influence in introducing techs. So, he was slightly intrigued to know that there were predecessors who are reincarnated in Nanor but, comparing his life to the Last-king he cannot think anything but the unfairness he had to go through.

Fredor Kleo was born a king while Vader was the son of a poor family. Moreover, he came to the capital from an isolated village at the border of Bodium which often got intruded on by monsters. Yet, Vader couldn't help but be thankful considering that he had lived until now.

Apart from all these things he has now gained a chance but, he'll need to crack down on his case and get the charges on to be dropped if he ever wants to achieve greatness and move on from the depressing life had lived until now.
