Chapter 5 - New life (Part 4)

"I will give you the chance to become my subordinate just like everyone else here, but no guarantee I will pick you and you gotta tell me you're name right now."

The person's expression turned happy as I said I would consider it and he quickly opened his mouth "Thank you very much! And my name is Henry Emily, it's nice to meet you Folke Stark."

As I thought to myself I thought it was strange with the mix of names here, from what I know I would guess they are all european, but from completely different sides of the continent, I'll look into it at a later point, but as of right now it's more important to get subordinates.

"Well let's get going then, I have 4 potential subordinates, so follow me back to the castle."

I walked a few steps and then stopped.

Nyx spoke up "You don't know where the castle is do you?"

"No..." I reliped instantly

"Follow me then I know thw way." Said Nyx and showed the way to me and everyone else even though I assumed they wouldn't need to get guided.

As Nyx led everyone to the castle I got the chance to look around once more, and for the life of me I couldn't recognize what the infrastrucure was based on, it didn't look like anything from my world and this was the first time I have every seen something like this.

As it got darker and darker we finally arrived at the castle and after proving I was the new military general we were allowed inside and we got led to king Lloyd.

"Lloyd I have found 4 potential subordinates!"

As I exclaimed it out Nyx, Rani and Akuji stood there awkwardly and a little nervous in front of the king meanwhile Henry was beaming with happiness.

Lloyd just stared for a second and smirked a little then said "Well done, if you think their a perfect fit I believe you, all you need to do is touch there heads and say I want you as my subordinate and then they can either accept it or decline it, and they will be able to use a system themselvs."

"Don't we need to prove were a good fit?" Nyx said out pretty quickly.

"Yea we met him like 3 hours ago and were already gonna be subordinates?!" Rani quickly looked at Akuji who then continued. "We don't know anything about even being in the military for once."

Lloyd stood up and said "If Folke even considers you then I think you would be a good choice."

I quickly looked at the 4 of them and said. "It will be you're choices to agree not mine."

Henry quickly stepped forward as of a way to tell me his answer is yes.

I put my hand on Henry's head and asked. "Henry to you wanna become my subordinate?" Henry quickly replied with a quick. "Yes."

I then moved on to Nyx and out my hand on her head. "Nyx do you wanna become my subordinate?" Nyx looked at me and then replied with a. "Yes"

I then looked at Rani and Akuji and opened my mouth. "Akuji and Rani, I don't know either of you 2 , and you don't really have a good reason to become my subordinate, just like Nyx, but please accept it, you two can quit anytime, I will make sure you can."

Rani and Akuji looked at each other like they had a whole conversation about this in just the few moments they looked aat each other and then back at me, their eyes looked like they were filled with determination, so I put my right hand on Akuji's head and my left hand on Rani's head and asked. "Rani and Akuji do you 2 wanna become my subordinates?"

They both lookedd at me and said at the same time. "Yes, we wanna become you're subordinates."

I looked over at the king who was watching this with a smile on his face and gave me a small nod of approval.

I stretched my arms out and looked around the room I had been given to sleep in my the king, I slowly got out of bed and immediatly put on the military uniform that was still all black with no other color.

"They really need to get more colors than just black..."

I went out of my room and headed to the dining hall and saw Nyx, Rani, Akuji and Lloyd all eating at one table all wearing the same black dull uniform, I quickly grabbed something to eat and sat down with them.

"How was the night here?" I asked trying to start up a conversation.

"It was good they actually have good beds here." Nyx replied while eating something that looked like a potatoe, but probably wasn't one.

Akuji and Rani was chatting away with each other seemingly enjoying this place and Henry had already finished his food, but for some reason he was checking his uniform out.

I looked around and saw that there were no one else in here so I decided to quickly finish my food and stood up and said. "Let's find Lloyd and start figuring out our abilities."

Nyx and Henry stood up too while Rani and Akuji quickly finished their food and caught up as we were walking out to look for Lloyd.

We quickly looked around a little for Lloyd until we found him.

"Lloyd where do we train and figure out our abilities?"

"I'll send a military personnel to pick you 5 up and guide you to the area so just stay in the dinning area."

3 minutes after a military personnel led us to a training area that we could use.

"Think about opening the system and it will opening, wait how would you 4 even imagine that if you never seen a screen before."

So I thought for a second on how to describe it to them and came up with this. "Alright try imagine a recangle shape that has words on it that can change the word if you touch it."

And to my surprise it actually worked they all opened their systems.

"Alright tell me you're abilities and what they do." Bu then i remembed that I still don't know what my ability was so I opened my system.

"True immortality and it's ability."
