Chapter 2 - New life (Part 1)

As everyone who got summoned disappeared from the room the Overseer looked around and his gaze fell upon someone who wasn't supposed to be here.

"You do realise most of them weren't even adults right? But then again I doubt you would even care if their were born 5 minutes ago."

"Why are you here already, the gods aren't supposed to interfere with the summons yet."

"Well I'm not exactly interfering already am I? I just came here to see the summons."

"Besides I mostly came here to see if you would actually send them, but I noticed you didn't tell them all of the information they needed."

"I was simply on a tight schedule so I couldn't tell them all of it just yet."

"Send a message about it to all of them then, they need to know if they actually want to stand a chance, especially in the early times."

"If they can't handle it then they don't deserve to be in control of their own bodies, and besides their true selves will only appear if they go through a truly traumatizing experience and the god of light like you shouldnt even worry about that."

"I guess that's true, but I can't help but worry about them since they are so young."

As the Overseer looked down upon the god he thought to himself if he really should have said it to them, but then again what's the fun in that.

"The next time I summon more summons I will be sure to tell them."

As the god of light looked down with a defeated expression knowing that the overseer would likely summon more in the future.

"I'll take my leave since I need to go visit my brother, but you better hold up to that promise, Overseer."

I could feel myself getting pushed forward as I barely managed to stand, I looked up and saw what looked like a medieval kingdom with their entire kingdom here to celebrate.

I looked around and all of them were looking up at me and cheering at me, I quickly looked behind for advise from the king as he stepped forward.

"Give them a speech to raise their moral, anything to make them feel secure and happy, and try to imagine a system opening."

As I imagined a system opening I could see a system with information about me and possible abilities I could achieve, but under my name it said. Born ability true immortal, although I couldn't see what it implied I just had to roll with it and give them as good of a speech as I could.

"Everyone! I am Folke Stark, and I am the summon who have been summoned to help out this kingdom!"

I quickly looked down at them and noticed how silent they had gone already, I couldn't even imagine what they could be thinking about me.

"And I will bring this kingdom to prosperity! And I will pick 4 of you in this kingdom to become my subordinate and help me bring this kingdom to it's full potential!"

I yelled the last part as loud as I could in hopes of inspiring the people of this kingdom, that I still didn't know the name of, But that was a side though at this moment.

"And with my ability true immortality I will protect this kingdom with my life"

I hoped this speech was good enough, I couldn't think of anything truly meaningful to say at this sudden moment, so I hoped the people wouldn't think too much of it, and to my surprise they began to cheer.

I looked back at the king for his approval and he gave me a nod and gestured for me to follow him, I looked back at the people one last time and followed the king.

***

The king lead me to a luxury room with what could only put even the president to shame.

"So did I give them a good enough speech?"

"Well it was good enough to inspire them, and besides you got a more important job, this kingdom is named the Fractian kingdom, I only realised I didn't say the name of the kingdom when you were already giving a speech."

"So it was great you could still inspire them, but what you need to do now is find the 4 subordinates to help you and become strong enough to take over the neighbouring kingdoms."

"I was gonna ask that, why do we need to take over the neighbouring kingdoms? And don't give me the excuse, we gotta do it before they do it."

As the kings expression hardened he seemed to be lost in thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

"If we don't attack a kingdom at least once a month we will get a penalty by the Overseer, so even if I hate it we must do it, it is currently unknown what this penalty is, but it's said it's worse than death itself."

"I guess that makes sense.. But can't we do something about it? Rebel against the Overseer or something?"

"Many have tried and none of them lived to see out their dream, the Overseer controls the abilities so there's no reason to even try since you would just lose your abilities."

I looked down at my feet and though is there really no way out of this, do we have to attack a kingdom? Can I even take a life? Im just a high schooler pretending to be someone right now.

"Please do not worry, we know you can do it so please believe in yourself, since the entire kingdom believes in you."

I got a warm feeling, that he truly wanted the best for everyone, and if I might be able to convince the neighbouring kingdoms to surrender we can make sure not to get the penalty.

"I'll do it for the kingdom, I'll find the 4 subordinates and make sure they are the right one's to protect this kingdom."

I turned arond and headed out the door and looked back at the king who was giving me a warm smile, I smiled back and headed out to find the 4 subordinates to help me.
