OVERACHIEVER

As the crowd erupted in a frenzy after Jully fell to the ground, Ken, visibly exhausted, called out, "Anyone else up to challenge me?" But after witnessing his fight, no one in their right mind would dare step forward. Ken, drained from the intense battle, sat down on the ground, waiting for the King's Duel to officially conclude, where he would be crowned the new ruler of Lionheart Kingdom.

An official representative from the KISEN domain had arrived to oversee the coronation, and Ken, despite his injuries from the fight with Jully, prepared himself for the ceremony. Meanwhile, someone in the crowd, biting their nails in frustration, couldn't hide their growing hatred toward Ken. As this person simmered in anger, a strange man approached and asked, "Do you wish to defeat him?"

Determined to see Ken fall, the individual accepted without hesitation. The strange man performed an eerie mantra, and suddenly, the person began twitching uncontrollably, their body contorting as they transformed into a demon.

The sun set, and the King's Ascension ceremony began. The KISEN official, standing before Ken, presented the crown. With a solemn air, Ken was crowned king of Lionheart Kingdom, the crowd cheering wildly for their new ruler.

In the upper cosmic sea, many beings watched this event unfold. Some were pleased, while others were not. Among them, a mysterious woman smiled to herself, saying, "As expected of that man's reincarnation. Even without your memories, you're still that overachieving one, aren't you, Ken?"

Far away, in the Kingdom of Crimson Light, screams echoed through the royal chambers. "You—You! Stay away from me!" The person speaking was none other than the Martial General of the Crimson Paladins, the most powerful army in the KISEN domain. "Please spare me—me!" the general begged before a young boy.

The boy looked down on him coldly, his voice emotionless. "No one is worthy of fighting me equally." Suddenly, a bird flew toward him with a note in its beak. The boy took it and read the message. It spoke of the new king of Lionheart Kingdom: King Ken. The boy's lips curved into a small, sinister smile. "Interesting. Very interesting. I may have to pay him a visit."

Meanwhile, in Lionheart's royal office, Ken sat amidst an overwhelming pile of paperwork, his face twisted in frustration. With an exasperated scream, he shouted, "I didn't sign up for thisssssss!"

Though now king, Ken quickly realized that the burden of leadership came with a mountain of administrative duties. But as challenges loomed on the horizon, both in his kingdom and beyond, his path as the ruler of Lionheart was just beginning.
