Nameless King

"Damn, looks like I\'ve been gone too long... but how is that possible... What the hell did Gisle do? Did he sell his soul to the Devil?" Wain uttered while in disbelief as he looked out over the city streets.

Overion had been a highly developed city before the apocalypse, but the sudden appearance of monsters had returned the city to the Stone Age or destroyed it altogether. However, now Overion is almost back to square one and has been transformed by the rules of the new world.

Among the many houses, people walked through the spacious streets in a variety of clothing. It was like a classical style crossed with medieval as the usual pre-Apocalyptic style could not be made and there was no point because times had already changed completely.

"Shit... They actually learned how to use this world for themselves..." Wain muttered as he noticed something.

There were no cars on the streets, but people needed something to use as transportation, the logical option would have been horses, but they chose monsters.

"Yeah. When I first saw it I couldn\'t believe my eyes either." Zero said with a slight nod as she approached him.

At the same time, a huge red lizard was running in the middle of the road with more than ten people on its back and it wasn\'t the only one like that.

Whooooooooooosh.

A few minutes later, the sun began to set, then hundreds of lanterns lit up brightly with yellow flames in the glass form.

"Hmm? They\'re using energy for lighting?" Wain muttered with a dazed look.

"Sure, it\'s not just for the streets, look." Zero said as he pointed to one of the houses.

Someone there had already turned on the lights as gradually the shining windows in the city became more and more.

"Hah, this is incredible. This city looks just like Dermin, no, even better in some aspects. It must have been greatly influenced by the fact that humans can adapt to anything." Wain said as a slight smile appeared on his face.

"I agree, but someone has done a very serious job on this. Also, we are in the middle of the city, the closer to the borders, the worse the situation is." Zero muttered as she waved her hand.

"Well, that makes sense. You can\'t maintain the same level of development everywhere." Wain shrugged as he looked out the window.

For some time, he admired the evening Overion and the people walking around the city without anxiety, as it was at the beginning. They chatted with each other, bought food, weapons, or even energy crystals in the stores, and returned to their homes from work. For some, life changed forever, but many tried to live with the idea that they would never have to fight.

Whooooooooooosh.

Suddenly, a bright blue flash that broke through the honeycomb-shaped energy dome and headed for the square to the west of the city.

When Wain saw it his eyes opened even wider than before since the flash was a high-tech airplane that looked like the spaceship from the sci-fi books.

"Constructs... has Gisle found allies among this race...?" Wain muttered while in disbelief.

"Well, as far as I know, Gisle is extremely cautious in his choice of allies, but he has long wanted to establish friendly relations with Constructs, so he managed to do it with one city." Zero muttered in a calm voice.

"I see... It seems I\'ll have to ask him for a complete list of our allies." Wain muttered, turned, and headed for the exit.

"Hmm? Is that it? I thought you\'d be admiring this view a lot longer. When I first saw it, I couldn\'t get away from the window for hours!" Zero exclaimed as she spread her arms out to her sides.

"Huh, don\'t get me wrong, I\'m actually amazed by what I saw, but I\'m sure I\'ll hear more incredible things from Gisle." Wain said as he approached the elevator.

"Hmm? Is there an elevator...?" Wain muttered with a confused look as he tilted his head.

"Yeah, but it\'s not what you think. Here, I\'ll show you." Zero said, appearing beside him and touching the sphere in the wall.

The orb glowed brightly purple, then the doors opened. Outwardly it was a normal elevator, but without buttons, a magical circle replaced them. Zero chose the right height, the magic circle glowed and they felt a strong pressure as though something was pulling them down.

"Is that gravity magic? Damn, that\'s pretty cool." Wain said with an excited look.

"Sure, but only some buildings have elevators like that. Luar never denies himself luxury, so no wonder his office is at the top of the tallest skyscraper." Zero muttered while shaking her head.

Crackling.

The pressure stopped abruptly, the doors opened, and Wain with Zero stepped outside.

Hundreds of people passed in front of the skyscraper and some of them took notice of Wain. Some looked at him with admiration, some clearly showed their disdain for him, and the rest passed by without even turning around.

"Hmm? What kind of strange reaction is that?" Wain frowned.

"Forget it." Zero waved her hand, "They think you\'re one of the rich people since you live here. Most people who can afford to live here either have power or are very powerful, most often all together."

"I see... Some want to become like me, while others are unhappy with the system... Well, it\'s inevitable." Wain shook his head before releasing his aura.

"Hey, what are you going to do? You\'re only going to scare the whole nation at this rate!" Zero exclaimed with a worried look as she pointed at the people.

Some of them found it hard to breathe, and others could barely stand on their feet.

"Damn... They\'re just people... Looks like Gisle hasn\'t had time to execute all his ideas yet. Well, everything takes time. Come on, I want to see him damn bad." Wain grinned as his hair turned golden and lifted Zero into his arms.

"What...?!" Zero exclaimed with an awkward look, "Wait! Stop!"

However, Wain didn\'t hear her as though he hadn\'t. He stepped forward and turned into a golden beam that instantly passed through dozens of houses.
