Inside a spacious bedroom, a young man was sitting up staring up his he was making ugly expressions like something was wrong.
I'd say the Kingdom manga is in the top 3 of all time, and it's not number 2 or 3. I love the action, the politics, the mood, and the insane imagery. The characters? Deep, detailed, and full of raw personality.
But that doesn't mean I ever wanted to be transmigrated into it.
I mean, what the actual hell this world is a non-stop parade of war, famine, backstabbing politics, mass murder, oh, and did I mention more war?
And it's not like I got dropped in as some random side character who can just survive in the shadows. Nope. I'm reborn as a freaking noble.
There's no way I can avoid war in this situation. All I can do is pray for the best. Somebody save me.
Out of nowhere a Blue Screen appeared in front of him.
"Ding! Welcome to the Greatest King System. I am here to help you become the greatest king under the heavens!"
" Bruh I got a system I might be cooked. Yo system Is there a way I can go back to my world?"
"No host there is no way for you to go back to your original world."
Okay… go kill yourself. Anyway, how can you actually help me?
Glad you asked. I have four main functions:
Lottery – You get a chance to pull skills of four levels: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum.
Shop – Buy items using General Points (GP).
Missions – Complete them to earn GP. Big missions might reward you with skills too.
Summoning Portal – Call in powerful generals to fight for you.
Bonus function: I'll show your stats, skills, GP, army size, population, and overall stability. I can also answer questions or help you through tough situations.
"As a first-time user, you're eligible for a starter pack. Just say the word when you're ready to open it."
I guess that's not terrible. I still have a high chance of dying horribly, but at least I've got a fighting chance now.
"First question where the fuck am I?"
"You are the son of Duke Qing, former Duke of Lu. The state of Lu was conquered by Chu one year ago, in 249 BC. You're currently in the former capital, Qufu. In this alternate timeline, Duke Qing had a son, and although most of Lu's territory was taken, you managed to hold onto a portion. You're now a castle lord under the state of Chu. You rule the former capital city of Qufu and its surrounding lands, while Chu controls the rest of the former state. Your main goal for now is to reinstate the state of Lu. You are south of the state Qi but north of Chu. The mission can be seen in the mission tab. "
"Okay, I understand system. can I open the starter pack now?"
"Of course, you can host, but before that, pick what type of king you want to be, so I can make the starter pack on what type of king you want to be. "

"To summon your items, go to your inventory, click on the item, and press summon. It will then appear and for skills when your press on it press equip. "
"Okay thanks for telling me system."
I went to my inventory then I saw everything I got from the starter pack. I'm so fucking excited. I decided to select the potion first then I clicked on the potion and selected summon. It teleported right into my hand. The potion is the size of a soda can. When I opened the top, a slimy clear liquid was in the bottle. Even though I don't want to be in this world this system shit is pretty cool and I can't wait to meet my favorite characters. Before I continue, I want to ask the system a question.
"System, I have a question. When I drink this, will I have to go through a lot of pain like in those novels I've read?"
"No, host. You won't feel pain. But you will notice your body changing. It might feel strange, but it won't hurt."
Hearing that from the system, I decided not to think too hard about it. I took a deep breath, chugged the whole thing, and prayed for the best. The liquid was a little thick as it slid down my throat, and I could already feel something shifting inside me. I finished the bottle, sat down, and waited for whatever came next.
