My King System Chapter 186

"Come on man. I even warned you. There's no reason for you to be surprised. It doesn't matter who or what you are, you'll always be weaker than me," said Yuki as he helped Scar get back on his feet.
"But I don't get it. How?" Scar asked as he tried to find a reasonable explanation as to why Yuki was so much stronger than him.
"There really is no answer. It's just a fact. It can't be argued or changed as it surpasses all logic," said Yuki.
"But isn't that cheating? It's not fair. The only way for you to have such an overwhelming advantage is for you to either be favored by the creator/creators of this new world or for you, yourself to be the creator of this world," Scar replied as he heard himself state his unreasonable statement and began to laugh.
"You've finally figured it out I see," said Yuki as he had a genuine smile on his face.
"But why would you reveal this to me? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell others and in turn they'll hunt you down for creating this horrible world? Scar asked.
"To be perfectly honest, it wouldn't matter if you told others as I could have all their memories wiped out along with yours so that all your efforts will be to no avail. For all you know, this could be the 10th time we're having this conversation and I just keep retelling it to you just to show myself how much better I am than you," said Yuki as he continued to smile with no anger or hatred in his eyes.
"So what's your goal now?" Scar asked as he didn't understand why Yuki even bothered in creating a game if he was just going to abuse his powers. Hearing Scar's question caused Yuki to sigh.
"To be honest, I don't know. I'm sick of dungeon raiding. I feel so alone while I'm there. It's just massacre after massacre. There's no sense of mercy in there. I feel like I'm breaking apart. The only time I ever feel good is when I'm outside of them but I know that I must continue to raid dungeons if I ever want to end up where I want to be," said Yuki as he sat on the ground from exhaustion.

"So let me get this right... You have god-like powers and yet you choose to struggle against simple humans?" Scar asked as he laughed from just hearing what was coming out of Yuki's mouth.
"Ya?.. I mean isn't it everyone's dream to live in a video game-like world and just kill monsters all day, every day while earning riches?" Yuki asked.
"Well I guess that would be true but this isn't a video game. In video games, you don't lose lives. You don't have to face real life problems such as raising a family and having financial problems. You've just placed everyone in a medieval era without removing our previous problems and to compensate us, you've given us some superpowers which barely do anything unless you're a high level player. I used to think that you were an evil mastermind which had the entire world under his control but now I realize that you're just plan stupid," Scar said as he finally regained his self esteem.
"Ya I guess you're right, I should probably call this entire thing off. Goodbye then," said Yuki as he prepared himself to call on Zero.
"WAIT NO! I thought you were joking. You can't actually be the one who made this world, can you?" Scar asked as fear began to set in.
"No I'm not joking. I was dead serious, plus you gave me a pretty good idea. It was a mistake to create this world. I'll just erase everything and live a joyful life in the spatial dimension with everything I could ever ask for," said Yuki with pure pity in his eyes for the world which he thought would be a dream come true for most but ended up being a planet in which only hell exists.
"Sure you might've messed things up pretty badly and now this world is on a fast track to being doomed but there might be a way for you to turn around. With my help of course," said Scar as he finally accepted defeat.
"What are you saying? Are you implying that you'd be my comrade?" Yuki asked in confusion.
"Yes I am. In fact, I would even allow myself to become a subordinate," Scar replied.
"Even so, how are we going to fix this world? It's already doomed. The track at which crime rates have continued to increase is astonishing. They're mostly committed by those who had retired from the life of dungeon raiding so the victims can't do much to defend themselves," said Yuki as he began to break down.

"Well... so what? Why do you care if someone gets robbed or kidnapped. You're supposedly a being on another plane of existence. To you, humans are only entertainment tools at best, so why would you care if you lost a couple thousand toys if you have billions of others?" Scar asked which made Yuki realize what had allowed him to become so harsh on the world previously.
"I finally remember. Humans... are insects to me," said Yuki as he smiled with pity in his eyes which looked to be evil.
"NO! This isn't the goal which we're trying to achieve. If you want to go back to your ways of pointless murder, you can do so since I can't stop you but at the end of the day, you'll come back to be the person you were just a moment ago... if you don't do something about this world soon, it'll end badly for everyone," Scar explained.
"I guess you're right. You can tell me more about your plan later, for now, I need to take care of a couple things," said Yuki before trying to reach out to Zero.
"Hey Zero, can you teleport me and this guy to the kingdom at which I left my clone... matter of fact, teleport us to the exact place which he's at," said Yuki.
"At once master. Although, I do not know if it is the wisest of decisions for you to inform others of your abilities," said Zero.
"It's not like it matters. You have manipulation over reality itself, you can just undo any mistake I make in the future," Yuki replied.
"I guess you do make a good point," said Zero before sighing and teleporting both Scar and Yuki directly to the bar at which Yuki's clone was operating. In fact, Yuki's clone was in the precise location at which he had kicked out the previous owner of the gang which he was now the boss of.
...
"Why are there two bosses?" the blonde woman who kept the statistics of the gang and also acted as Yuki's clone's secretary.
...
"What have you been doing for the duration of time in which I let you act of your own free will?" said the real Yuki with a perplexed face.
"Just a small revolution and we've set up a way for all the prisoners to escape from this place. There's no way they'll be able to capture us, especially with all the reporters present around the area," Yuki's clone replied.
"I'll just keep my nose out of this. It seems like this is something personal," said Scar.
"I leave you alone for like 2-3 weeks and you start a whole revolution? What is wrong with you?! The whole point of this was so you wouldn't attract attention for as long as possible," said the real Yuki.
"Hey don't blame me, you would've done the exact same thing if you were here instead of me. After all, you're the one who decided to make me a perfect clone of you," said Yuki's clone as he debunked the real Yuki's point.
"... Fair enough, so what is the plan for now?" the real Yuki asked.
"Well, seeing as you're here, I guess the plan is going to change just a bit. I thought about escaping this place with the others to make the story more believable but that's just dumb. I just didn't want to experience death. Even though I'm your clone, I fear death. Unlike you, I don't have Zero and One by my side to protect me whenever I get into trouble," Yuki's clone began to rant as he needed to get some things off his chest.
"I understand... thank you for being so kind," said the real Yuki before going to give his clone a hug. As he embraced his clone, the real Yuki didn't feel weird, instead, all he felt was compassion as there was a version of himself right there which couldn't call upon the two people which he himself had grown to abuse the powers of.
Yuki understood that no matter how many dungeons he would go into, he'd always be sure that Zero and One would be on his side. That was why... Yuki's clone was much braver than the real Yuki would ever be.

A World Forgotten
***This story will contain lite-litrpg elements, mainly character pages and a town page. There will also be settlement building and adventuring, missteps and achievements. But one thing it definitely won’t have is a harem. Nor will it have an overpowered MC. Contains mild cursing.*** ***feel free to critique my writing and offer input. This is my first venture into writing. I've always enjoyed litrpg/gamelit books. I feel like I write how I talk, so it may be a little different. You won't hurt my feelings if you see something wrong or out of place! *** ***What follows is a condensed part of chapter 1. Enjoy!*** Drew Cooper is thrust into a new, unfamiliar world. Waking up in his sweats and t-shirt near what seems to be a forgotten path through some woods, he struggles coming to terms that he's no longer in his apartment. As he tries to cope with his new reality, he hears a horse coming down the path. He hides behind a nearby tree dreading what may happen next. As the horse approaches, he sees a man walking next to it. The horse is burdened with packs and gear. When the man nears, Drew nearly panics. He has a large sword strapped to his waist, obviously a fighter. He continues to hide as the man slowly passes only for the man to stop a dozen meters past his hiding spot. "You may as well come out, ya know. You weren't as well hidden as you thought," the man stated matter-of-factly, letting the horse’s reins go and putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Slowly and scared for his life, Drew raised up and walked from behind the tree. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on attacking you. I-I don't know where I am. I heard your horse and hid. I didn't know what you'd do if you saw me. I'm sorry," he nervously blurted out. A minute passed. Then two. The man seemed interested with Drew and stepped closer, eyes squinting as if trying to see something. "What's that on your shirt? Is that. What is that? Is that, Pac-man?" The man was visibly shaken while pointing at me. Looking down at his t-shirt nervously, "Yea. Yea. I woke up here a few hours ago I think. 3 maybe 4 hours. I’ve just been sitting here. Where am I? What's going on?" Drew asked. "That's not important right now," the man replied. " What's important is where you're from. What year is it?" "What year? April something 2020. Why? What's going on?" Drew continued now worried. The man was taken aback. After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself some. The man sighed and looked at Drew in earnest. "Well, I've got good news and bad news for ya. Bad news is you're not on Earth anymore. Good news is you happened to run into me and not someone else. You’re either really lucky, or it’s fate we met in these woods, and I don’t believe in luck." The man continued to walk towards Drew while talking and put out his hand. "I'm John Mitchell from St. Louis or thereabouts. You’ve got nothing to be scared of by me. Walk with me and let’s talk."
