Dweller Of The Nest

this is a very early concept and just the prologue of my story, anything could change even the name of literally everything. since the entirety of the story it self is not finish except a lil bit of lore so ill change it alot. (99% chance i wont finish the story at all) so please treat this merely as a concept rather than a story because ill try to fit alot of my ideas as much as i can and that probably ruined the pacing, made plothole, not polished, and bad names of stuff cause i dont wanna think about it and im bad at naming stuff. oh yeah its in english cause idk (turns out this is a huge mistake cause i cant write shit IT TAKES ME 10 MINUTE TO WRITE ONE SENTENCE DAMMIT.)

As the king of the third who brought horrors and terrors upon the land, was dethroned by sheer willpower of humanity itself that refused to kneel before him.

Humanity is finally freed from his sufferings, they were finally free to live.

Countless drinks were raised and countless feasts were devoured on the day of victory while bonfires soared through the night, marking this as a night to be remembered. And perhaps, after all they had endured, the golden era may come back.

While the loud party was happening, two soldiers sat in silence, watching the King's Core pulse like a beating heart from far away. Slowly, it began surrendering to her, the new candidate for the next King.

Slowly accepting the commander who had volunteered to bear the crown and willingly offered herself as the next successor. Promising that she was capable of becoming someone greater than the first King, whom the people had once honored and knelt before without a second thought.

"Hey Arthur.. what if it got worse?"

One of the soldiers finally spoke, his voice carrying a hint of fear and anxiety. The thought of another era of suffering and despair was enough to make him doubt her.

"i-i.. i know she was a great commander, amazing even.. but- what if.."

He gulped nervously as the thought of the worst possible outcome overwhelmed him. What if the commander they trusted and respected above all else had only been seeking power and total control? His hand tightened around the soil beneath him at the thought.

"Id rather live through the second king for 100 years than go through something worse than that bullshit aga-"

Before he could finish, the other soldier beside him shot him a look of pure disgust and disappointment, cutting him off mid-sentence.

"Is that all you have to say? After everything she did? She killed the king and sacrificed her own sanity for us, and you're still spouting this nonsense?"

The same soldier sighed and turned his gaze back to the pulsing core, watching it with the same unwavering respect he had always held for their commander, a stark contrast to the other soldier expression.

The moment of silence was suddenly broken by a loud unhuman screech. The two soldiers instantly got into their fighting stances, thinking it was a nearby monster. But the source of the earpiercing screech wasn't coming from anywhere nearby, It was coming from the core itself.

"huh?"

the sound of confusion had barely left his mouth when the pulsing core suddenly flickered. Its rounded shape stretched upward, gradually narrowing into a concentrated beam of crimson red light while strange bloodlike liquid began to spill from the bottom of the bean.

The other soldier stared at it with horror. His grip tightened around his weapon as his breath grew heavier, desperate for air.

"N-not that thing again..."

He muttered under his trembling breaths, stumbling backward as that painfully familiar screech tore through the air.

"W-why the fuck is it still there?! Wheres commander?"

"Shh! shut your mouth you pussy, maybe it's fighting back... it should be fine! maybe..."

"Fuck this! im getting out of here!"

Without a second thought, he run off into the dark woods with his torch, leaving the other soldier to watch the red beam spread wider with awe, as if hes ready to die just to witness the birth of a new era.

"i trust you commander, kill that wicked dragon once more"

The wind blow againts his leathered jacket and the leaves around him, the core screech tore trough the air agonizing his eardrum, yet he still stood still with a smile on his face.

"bring back the golden era for us!"

For days the screech keep on going, humanity waited for the arrival of the fourth king, It really tortured them, hearing that familiar screech echo through the night sky, worried that it will come back to continue his terrors.

but one night that screech finally stopped, The commander would not let it rise from its grave again.

Not long after, a ring of blood formed around the vast land surrounding the core and the Kingdom Of Vethmar, They wondered if this was the work of the king they have been waiting for, they didnt need to wait long for the answear.

Its been a couple of years after the king took actions, back then nobody expected her to use the blessing from the god in such a way, and how it changed everything.

Have you ever seen a human shoots fire? spew water? Bend earth? not in this world, only the king and critters was able to do that. Yet the commander gave us a chance to not rely on them so much.

We no longer rely on the king to protect us from the unbalanced world. Somehow, some way, she used the blessing from the god to bless us herself.

The Kingdom of Vethmar was either lucky enough, or it was planned by her to be the one in charge of the powers and resources given by the king.

Of course, with every power comes greed and envy from those who weren't lucky enough to receive it. The once-unified continent now faces wars, backstabbing, and bloodshed to claim the blessed land for themselves.

Until the seismic event happened, separating and isolating the kingdom of Vethmar and its king. Nobody knew if it was the work of the god, the king, or simply nature it self that was tired of the useless wars.

Now, nobody knows whats happening inside the Kingdom Of Vethmar, but at times they are visited by "insiders" who banish the beasts and help those who are in need.

The access to Vethmar is not easy, the security is too tight even for a plane, let alone a boat. but people know, paradise lies there.

"VETHMAR! VETHMAAR!"

A girl with blond hair screech in excitement inside her own heart, holding a paper to her chest, It seems like she's in line, waiting for the carriages that transport new students through the tunnel and into Vethmar.

"Finally... hiks... I can leave my village and attend the academy there... what a dream... snort"

She panicked and wipe the snot off her face, her eyes darting around to see if anyone noticed, hoping no one saw that and her very very classy style remained intact. Again, she thought to her self.

"Calm down idiot, i aint gonna mess up my image after all that studying to get here... sigh now i dont have to deal with those annoying boys from the villlage no more! huehihi~ im sure the boys there are handsome, with my grades and beauty im sure im gon-"

Before she can finish thinking, her name is called out by one of the royal guards call out to her name, its her turn to get into one of the carriages, the man in the shining armor slowly speaks as he gaze into that girl eyes sparkling with excitement

"Uhh... lilith, right? we kind of miscalculated the carriages, so its full now... you can um.. ride with the royal guards instead? theyve got an extra carriage for escort duty, so theres room in there.."

The girl paused for a second, her tiny brain slowly connecting the dots at the situation, uncon
