* * *

The glamorous party came to an end. Everyone needed to rest for the pleasure waiting for them the next day.

Sungjin ended the party and let everyone go to get sleep and headed to his bedroom as well. He didn’t need to sleep. He didn’t even feel fatigue of any kind.

While walking, he started to think. Now he had this world in his hand, and he had eternal youth and immortality for a thousand years. He was also able to feel that his pure power had become stronger.

Now, if I had to fight against the Kaisers, I could win without any help.

He had everything he could possibly have. The only challenge left for him was to become an Arc Master.

This power. These abilities. This immortality. What should I do with all these powers, and what should I do for my team members who stood by my side until now? I’m sure they’re waiting for it.

He knew that the girls were waiting for the wedding. I would be quite young to get married back in my world.

Although, even on earth, in different eras he was old enough to get married. Modern society was a special case where people got married in a later stage of life.

And he was in Valhalla. By its standard, he should get married, and that was what everyone was expecting.

Should I?

He already knew that what they all wanted was to be with him. Being with the one they loved was their biggest and their only hope and happiness. It wasn’t that he didn’t know that, although he was postponing his answer because he was working on his goals.

Maybe it’s time to reward them to thank them all for fighting for me with their lives. Maybe it’s time to give them the love they wanted from the start. No, it would be weird to say it was a reward or a present.

It wasn’t something he had to sacrifice for them; it would be something that he would also enjoy with all of them.

He had tried to control himself until now, but those days he would enjoy with them would be very pleasant.

Then, what should I do…

He was in deep thought and was about to walk into his room when he realized that Pandora was right behind him.

“Hey. Until where are you planning to follow me?”

“Well, it is not definite,” said Pandora with her voice without any emotion.

“Do you know this is my bedroom?”

“Yes, I know,” Pandora answered, as if it wasn’t a problem.

Sungjin had to sigh. “Don’t you know what it means when a girl visits a guy’s bedroom, especially late at night?”

Pandora blinked before answering. “Search completed. Yes. I checked the rules to follow to be a nice lady, but I’m just a researcher who is going to observe and research you, so the rule doesn’t apply to me.”

“You are a girl more than a researcher, don’t you think?”

“I’m rather a researcher than a girl.” Pandora firmly answered, and Sungjin had to sigh again.

Oh my. I knew from the beginning, but she doesn’t have common sense.

Pandora had massive amounts of knowledge accumulated with time, but she had no ability to apply her knowledge to reality.

Is it because she was hibernating for such a long time? Or is it because she was programmed only to accumulate knowledge? Anyways…

Sungjin put his hand on Pandora’s shoulder. If Pandora was a normal girl, she might have been frightened. If she loved Sungjin, she should have been excited in expectation, but Pandora stared at Sungjin without any emotion.

In that situation, Sungjin… pushed her away with clarity.

“You can observe me when I’m in my training and during the fight, but I won’t allow you to invade my privacy, especially not when I’m in my bedroom.”

“I need to observe you at all times for full observation.”

“It is forbidden for a girl to visit a guy’s bedroom if they are not lovers. This principle can’t be changed…”

“Is that so? Okay.”

When Pandora seemed that she understood him, Sungjin thought he could finally get away from this, until Pandora started to take off her clothes.

It was in the middle of the night. In front of his bedroom. And Pandora was undressing and revealing her pure and beautiful body.

And Sungjin had a healthy young man’s body. The sight naturally made him excited, but Sungjin tried to control himself. Let’s calm down.

Pandora was not a girl with a normal thinking process. She didn’t have any common sense or any experiences that were even remotely normal, so maybe she had different intentions.

“What are you doing?”

“If you won’t allow me to observe you in your bedroom because we are not lovers, I will be your lover. Take me as you want, and allow me to observe you.”

“… No.”

“Why not?”

“It’s not something you can do with just anyone.”

“I have various information on that.”

“Yes, if you have some, that’s great.”

“It depends on the culture. In some cultures they don’t allow the activity before marriage, while it is allowed in others…”

“Wait. You don’t need to explain that.” When she started to spout out knowledge, Sungjin had to stop her.

“So, just to share the conclusion, you are the Kaiser now. That means you can have multiple lovers, and it is your decision to take them as your wives or not…”

When Pandora tried to explain that there would be no legal or cultural problem for him to take her, Sungjin couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s enough. The important thing is that I have no intention to have such an activity.”

“You can’t do my favor?”

“That is not something I would do.”

“It is known that the Kaiser has no restriction on this kind of activity.”

“Update your information. There are some guys who have their own rules.”

“What is your rule?”

“Hmm… I would take the girl only when I felt like she was my destiny.”

“That’s subjective. You can’t systemize it.”

“Love is something subjective and emotional.”

“I got it.”

I was able to stop her.

But that wasn’t the end of it. Sungjin started to worry about other things. “Wait. You shouldn’t ask other guys to do this,” Sungjin told her firmly to prevent her from making mistakes out of curiosity.

“No problem. I don’t want anyone else but you. You are my first choice. No. You are my everything.”

“Oh… okay.” If someone heard that, they would think it was a marriage proposal. He was happy to understand that she meant he was her research subject. “That’s good news.”

He felt relieved. He thought since she was a granddaughter of a Kaiser, she was only interested in other Kaisers as her research subjects.

“Then I have another favor to ask.”

“What’s that?” Sungjin was prepared and decided not to be surprised, whatever her request would be.

“Can you put me back in my hibernation?”

“But why?” Sungjin’s face hardened.

“My mission is to observe what the answer is beyond the sacred area.”

“And?”

“If you only allow me to observe you during your fight and your training, I don’t have time to waste.”

“You don’t have time to… waste.”

“Unlike you, I can’t live a thousand years, so to learn about the truth beyond the sacred area, I need to be in my hibernation until then.”

“Hey, you just woke up. Why don’t you try to enjoy this world a bit?”

“Yes. Your recommendation to research information by experiencing was valuable for sure.”

“But?”

“But if I have to make a choice, I need to set my priorities.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. So after a thousand years, when you finish enjoying your life as a Kaiser and are ready to start your final challenge, wake me up. Then I will be able to observe your answer.” To see his final challenge, Pandora asked him to put her back in her hibernation.

“Okay. Now I understand.”

“Thank you.”

“But not just yet.”

“Then when?”

“Don’t rush it, and just enjoy for now. The Kaiser’s party has just started.”

Pandora hesitated a bit but nodded. “I get it. It is valuable to collect more information on you.”

“Pff. Not just because of that. I want you to learn more about the world. With more experience, you can have better perceptivity, which will help you to collect your information properly.”

“Is that the reason? You don’t think I could understand the answer if I saw it now?”

“Something like that.”

“Okay.”

“Good night then.”

“Okay.”

When Pandora left, Sungjin sat down on his bed. Pff. Oh my… What should I do with this researcher girl?

His main concern was when and how to have the ceremonies with his team members, but he realized that taking care of Pandora would take a lot of effort as well.

Chapter 5

The long festival for his coronation was over, and at the end of the festival, Sungjin called up his girls to a simple tea party setting.

A lot of people were predicting what would come next. That must be about his wedding ceremonies.

He had conquered the world. It was natural for him to start his family now.

Would he take them all at once? Or one by one?

Sungjin could decide however he wanted to.

Sunjin slowly started to talk. “I have a difficult topic I would like to talk about.”

“Tell us.”

“I would like to start my challenge to become an Arc Master without waiting for a thousand years.”

Sungin decided not to beat around the bush, and cut to the chase. He had enormous power and glory that he could enjoy more than a thousand years. There was no clear reason why he would start his challenge in the sacred area. Although that challenge could bring even more power and wealth, he had too much to lose. It was too risky.

But Sungjin was different. He had started this because he wanted to become an Arc Master. Although the reward from the preliminary league was huge, he had no plans to retire and enjoy what he had. He wanted to become the best in what he started. His burning desire hadn’t gone out, even after he had gotten the title of Kaiser.

And there was one more reason to become an Arc Master. This is not the world that I promised to create.

He could be a merciful ruler. He might not have the heart to be one, but he knew what he had to do to let his people live their lives as humans. And with his absolute power, he could do much better than those kings who had good heart but not enough power. But that wasn’t a world with natural human rights. It wouldn’t be a world where every individual would be respected and could decide their own future with their free will. It would be a world where people survived peacefully by the mercy of the tyrant with absolute power.

He wanted everyone to be equal, but now, everyone equally had to follow the Kaiser’s rule.

Well, that is not such a bad thing, though.

There was sudden truth in the Kaiser of White Silver’s world. It was better than a world where the weak were the prey of the strong.

But that’s not the world that I promised to create for them.

So he had to move forward, but… that was his personal ambition. It was his choice if he wanted to move forward, but he didn’t have the right to force his team members to join him. His team members had the right to stop him or convince him to stop.

It hadn’t been a smooth path until now, and his girls had supported him to become a Kaiser. They had the right to request him to stop so they could enjoy this life until the end of a thousand years.

“So this is not an order but a request.” Sungjin lowered his head. “If everyone tries to stop me… I will stop here for now.”

Sungjin always kept his head up, even when he was in a terribly disadvantageous situation, and told everyone he would go his own way. He was now on the top of the world but lowered his head.

“I know the risk of challenging to become an Arc Master now. And I know if you join me, you might lose your happiness that you have now.”

He made a lot of achievements and a lot of people were counting on him. He had a massive responsibility. He understood the weight of the responsibility. Without the new Kaiser Sungjin, everything might come to nothing.

Stopping at 90 percent achievement wouldn’t be a compromise. But he still wanted to go forward. He still wanted to pursue his dream. It was always risky to take the challenge, but he still wanted to go further.

“But I want you to come with me.” He wanted them to come with him for the final challenge, but he didn’t know how they would answer.

Ereka answered him with a warm smile, and held Sungjin’s hand. “Sungjin. My answer is the same as when you challenged the Kaiser. If that’s what you want, I will join you and support you by your side.”

“I am your loyal servant for always.” Jenna put her hand on top of Sungjin’s and Ereka’s.

“Same here. It is a knight’s duty to join her king.” Eustasia put her hand on top of their hands.

“Without you, Sungjin Oppa, I wouldn’t be here.”

“Pff. Without you, I was already dead. Even if we fail, I wouldn’t regret being with you.”

Rachel put her hand on top, and Zakiya added her hand.

“Sungjin. From the start, I promised you to join your fight to liberate everyone in this world. I will fight by your side.” Sooryun promised with everyone else to join him until the end.

“Thank you… everyone.”

He had to respect his girls who would support him on his path to achieve his goal. He thought he was such a lucky person to have his team who supported him no matter what.

And to thank them all─

I should win.
